Early the next morning, Yi Pin was awakened by a series of urgent ringing tones.
"What?"
Yi Pin roared without looking at the caller ID.
He was already annoyed these days, and now someone was disturbing his sweet dream so early in the morning.
"Can't you talk nicely, boy? You have no manners at all."
His father's steady voice came from the other end of the phone.
Only then did Yi Pin open his eyes and slowly sit up.
"What's up?"
Yi Pin asked with a somewhat dejected tone. Staring blankly at the wall in front of him, his mind seemed to go blank.
"Your grandfather has been ill these days. He keeps coughing, and his health is not as good as before... He talks about you all the time. When you're free, come back and visit him."
His father's somewhat desolate voice came through the phone, sounding rather tired.
"Okay!" Yi Pin nodded.
In fact, he was only angry for two days after being kicked out of the house. There's no such thing as an overnight feud between parents and children. He just wanted to prove that he could still make a name for himself without relying on his family.
Moreover, his father always called him to discuss work matters and wanted him to take over the family business.
But he wasn't interested in the business world. Life was short, and of course, one should do what one liked.
However, many poor people were always busy solving the problem of food and clothing first. So for most of them, work was for making money rather than for their own interests.
But life was never perfect. Imperfection was what made it real.
After hanging up the phone, Yi Pin stared blankly at the phone for a long time.
"What? Are you in mourning?"
Shen Yu didn't know when he had stood at the door, quietly watching.
"Can you make some noise when you walk? You're always as elusive as a ghost."
Yi Pin frowned and said.
Actually, he was just full of anger inside. When he saw Shen Yu, who had walked into his line of fire, he just wanted to vent it out.
Shen Yu kicked the door hard. The sound was extremely loud.
"What are you doing? Do you want to use force? I'm telling you, if anything happens to you with your old arms and legs, I won't be responsible."
Yi Pin turned around, looking at Shen Yu in front of him, and said helplessly.
"I'm just making some noise." Shen Yu said innocently, with a sly smile on his lips.
Yi Pin was speechless and had no way to refute this answer.
"You... You're amazing!"
Yi Pin was momentarily at a loss for words. Helplessly, he went to the bathroom to wash up. Looking at himself in the mirror, he finally calmed down. "I'm so handsome. Why should I be angry? Only ugly people get angry!"
After having a hot breakfast, the two of them went out.
The first place they went to was the law firm.
"How's your case going?" Gu Yang asked with a smile on his lips, looking at the two of them.
"Confusing and unclear!"
Yi Pin replied dejectedly. If it were a divorce case or some other normal case, he would be okay with it. But this case was involved with so many things, and there were so many mysterious parts. Based on his intuition, he felt that there must be something fishy about it.
"You're so negative. This isn't like the energetic Young Master Yi!" Gu Yang said with a smile, happily patting Yi Pin on the shoulder.
"I've been worn out by life!" Yi Pin said with a smile on his lips.
After joking around for a while, they each got busy with their own things, organizing the documents in their hands.
"Let's go!"
Shen Yu patted Yi Pin on the shoulder and then walked out.
"Where are we going?" Yi Pin was completely confused, but he still grabbed his bag and ran to catch up with Shen Yu.
Shen Yu always had his hands in his pockets, looking like a real big shot, with a hint of contemptuous smile on his lips.
"You'll know when we get there!"
"Hey, can't you just say it straight? Why do you always have to be so mysterious?" Yi Pin said helplessly, giving him a look.
But Shen Yu just smiled faintly and walked quickly.
Looking at the surveillance videos in the monitoring room, Shen Yu frowned. There were so many pictures and so many people.
"These are all the saved videos of Jiangnan River Bank from last month!"
The staff member nodded at Shen Yu and smiled.
Looking at each picture, Yi Pin just felt a little panicked. Judging from this situation, maybe the two of them would have to stay up for several nights to find the relevant videos.
"Okay, let's get started!" Shen Yu said with a smile on his lips.
"Damn it, get started? You mean it's just the two of us?" Yi Pin raised his eyebrows and said helplessly.
"Can you stop swearing all the time?" Shen Yu glanced at Yi Pin. "And do you really think you're in a TV drama? Isn't it all marked with the dates here?"
The two of them had been looking at the videos until their eyes were a little blurred, but they still hadn't found any relevant videos.
They had been looking from noon until night, fast - forwarding through all the videos of the whole day, but still hadn't found any conclusion.
"That's not right!" Yi Pin looked puzzled. If the person really committed suicide here, how could there be no trace at all? Did those prosecutors and forensic doctors just judge that she committed suicide based on the fact that the body had been soaked in water?
"Watch it again. Don't fast - forward this time. You must open your eyes wide and look clearly. Don't miss any suspicious points."
Shen Yu squinted his eyes and took out a handkerchief to wipe his glasses.
"Even a thousand - mile horse needs to eat grass. I'll go buy some instant noodles first!"
Yi Pin sighed helplessly. He was originally very excited because he had received a big case, and it was a special topic he had never dealt with before. But he didn't expect that the matter would be even more troublesome.
"I won't eat!"
Shen Yu said coldly, looking determined.
"Suit yourself!"
Yi Pin curled his lips. At this time, he still couldn't put down his airs. He was really consistent in his actions and words, and extremely cold - hearted.
He went into the supermarket and took a bunch of bread and a bucket of instant noodles. Muttering to himself, he said, "If you don't eat, then starve to death."
But when he got out of the supermarket, at the corner where there were stalls, he saw an old woman selling roasted sweet potatoes and porridge.
For some reason, Yi Pin actually bought two sweet potatoes and a bowl of porridge.
When he came back to the monitoring room and saw Shen Yu concentrating on his work, his side profile was very good - looking. His long eyelashes gently rested on his dark - brown eyes.
"If you're here, come and watch quickly. What are you standing there for?"
Shen Yu didn't look back but spoke.
Did this guy have an eye on his back?
"Here, it's hot. Hurry up and eat. Don't tell me this stuff is also unhealthy?"
Yi Pin handed the hot sweet potato to Shen Yu.
Shen Yu was momentarily stunned and stared blankly at Yi Pin in front of him.
"Here, if it's not enough to fill you up, drink this bowl of porridge too."
Yi Pin said as he took a bite of the bread and then got back to the task of watching the videos.
Shen Yu looked at the young man in front of him. This kid was a bit tough - looking today, and also a bit handsome.
