Chapter 1085 - 1093: The Person at the Bar Counter
Chapter 1085: Chapter 1093: The Person at the Bar Counter Qin Shaobai considered himself to have good self-restraint and could control his emotions, and he also felt that being together might not be better than quietly protecting someone, so he respected Qi Jingren’s decision, even if it went against his own heart.
After leaving the Shi Family, Qin Shaobai went to Ciaos, planning to see if he could find any more clues.
Xiao Chen had previously admitted to crimes serious enough to have him imprisoned, but he was released without charges on the second day of his detention. The police stated that there was no concrete evidence to prove Xiao Chen’s crimes, thus they dropped the charges against him.
It was obvious that someone had smoothed things over for him.
As for who this person behind the scenes is, Shi Aoju, Qin Shaobai, and Song Zhike all knew well; being able to easily clear someone on the verge of imprisonment was not the work of a simple individual.
And the only person worth suspecting, who meets all the conditions, is Bei Mo.
He’s the Great General’s son and a notable figure in politics; local officials in various cities show him due respect. Rescuing someone from prison was easy, just find a scapegoat.
Worried that Xiao Chen might seek revenge, Shi Aoju had someone monitor him on the day of his release, keeping his every move under control.
Song Zhike is a top hacker; he invaded Xiao Chen’s computer in no time, but Xiao Chen had multiple security programs in place, requiring Song Zhike four hours to crack through.
He discovered that Xiao Chen had received a huge sum, roughly Five million, but the person who transferred the money wasn’t verified, using only a pseudonym, "Beibei."
Users without a verified identity cannot transfer hundreds of thousands at once, typically having small limits. To facilitate transactions, larger withdrawals or transfers require prior arrangements, making it impossible to transfer millions in one go.
It seemed that the person who transferred money to Xiao Chen was not to be underestimated, and his boldness in transacting online with Xiao Chen indicated he was not worried about the consequences.
From "Beibei," Song Zhike linked these two characters to Bei Mo, though he hadn’t interacted with Bei Mo personally, he had heard from Shi Aoju after meeting Qi Jingren that Bei Mo was an admirer and pursuer of Qi Jingren.
This explains why so many bizarre events occurred during this time; due to Qi Jingren’s engagement to Shi Aoju, Bei Mo took action, using money to bribe people to interfere behind the scenes.
Knowing that the tracked transaction records might be useless, Song Zhike simply noted them down and exited Xiao Chen’s computer, restoring all his systems.
Qin Shaobai arrived at Ciaos just at one o’clock, during the employee lunch break; there were no customers at this time, making it very quiet inside.
From a distance, Qin Shaobai spotted a person standing inside the bar with their back to him, reaching out to grab alcohol from the wine rack, probably because they weren’t tall enough, they were standing on a stool.
This action was dangerous, and the stool was rotating; the person swayed unsteadily on it, but they seemed unafraid, grabbing a bottle and jumping down from the stool, spinning around to place the bottle on the bar.
The lighting at the bar wasn’t great, even in the daytime it was quite dark, so Qin Shaobai couldn’t make out the person’s features clearly; he glanced casually and then looked away.
