My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife-Chapter 454 : Beware of Zhao Qilin

"The results are out, and the initial estimation is a male between twenty-five and thirty years old."

Lu Wenrou finished speaking and added another sentence, "However, a database comparison will take some time. We can go to the hotel where He Yunyun works now; there may be some discoveries."

"Okay, I'll pick you up at the hospital entrance!"

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yu drove to the entrance of the Armed Police General Hospital.

After waiting for a few minutes, Lu Wenrou came out, "Go to Tianlong Hotel! I've instructed the police to lock down the hotel, including freezing all the surveillance footage from last night until now; no one is allowed to review it!"

"Wenrou, on behalf of Brother He, I thank you!"

Lu Wenrou's decisive action moved Qin Yu. If it weren't for her intervention, the investigation would have been extremely difficult.

"Thank me for what? Eradicating evil and upholding righteousness is also a responsibility of Dragon Gate. Besides, He Gang has addressed me as Instructor Lu. His ability to contact me indicates his trust!"

Lu Wenrou shook her head.

"Then let's head over now!"

After getting into the car, Qin Yu made a call to Yan Mingyu while driving, telling her that Liu Xiaoxiao was likely resting at home today and not to wait for him to come home for dinner.

"Qin Yu, your relationship with Director Yan isn't ordinary, huh?"

After Qin Yu hung up the phone, Lu Wenrou showed a gossiping look.

"Uh... she's my wife!"

Qin Yu told the truth, as Lu Wenrou was one of the friends he trusted. There was no need to keep it hidden any longer.

"Ah?"

Lu Wenrou blinked her eyes in evident surprise, "So that's the nature of your relationship; no wonder why you were so desperate when Director Yan was in danger!"

"Protecting one's wife is a husband's duty!"

Qin Yu reflected on his journey with Yan Mingyu, which hadn't been easy. On several occasions, both had narrowly avoided being torn apart by life and death.

"You are indeed a good husband. By the way, you need to watch out for Zhao Qilin!"

After nodding her head, Lu Wenrou suddenly spoke seriously.

"Zhao Qilin? The deputy head of Department Seven, you know him too?"

Qin Yu was startled, not expecting to hear about Zhao Qilin from Lu Wenrou as well.

"I wouldn't say I know him. He came to Jinling this time for some work-related matters, and I've just had a phone conversation with him. Scholar said that you and Zhao Qilin had a conflict last night, and that he has been secretly sizing up Yan Mingyu. I've also heard some rumors, Zhao Qilin has a weakness common to all men—he's lecherous. However, he doesn't just play with any woman; he goes for the best. Moreover, afterwards, there's never any trouble!"

Lu Wenrou frowned, her expression somewhat complicated.

Because Zhao Qilin was of a higher rank than she was, belonging to the influential and powerful, and being someone on the verge of reaching the Pill Holding Realm, even if his lifestyle wasn't great, higher-ups tended to turn a blind eye.

At a certain level, there is no absolute good or bad anymore, but rather a matter of how valuable you are.

To those higher up, Zhao Qilin was considered a person of great value, and they were quite lenient regarding his private life.

It's like some business tycoons who definitely have shady deals in private, but because they pay a large amount of taxes to the country every year and contribute to the local city's GDP, they generally wouldn't be probed too deeply under normal circumstances.

Unless an issue becomes too big to cover up, in which case there's nothing to be done about it.

"This... how does Scholar know? When I fought with Zhao Qilin, didn't he shut off the surveillance with a call?"

Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat—the words Lu Wenrou uttered mustn't have been without cause.

After all, his beautiful rich wife was an extraordinary woman, having wealth, looks, and elegance, and in East Sea, she was even hailed as the most beautiful woman.

"Every city not only has the standard surveillance cameras out in the open, but there's also a separate, hidden system that operates independently, one that nobody has permission to shut down. In order to investigate the Living Yama incident, the higher-ups granted us certain permissions. At the time, Scholar found that the surveillance in that area was turned off, felt it was unusual, and decided to check with the hidden system, coincidentally capturing the scene where you and Zhao Qilin had a conflict!"

Lu Wenrou explained.

"So that's how it was!"

Qin Yu furrowed his brows, having been so angry at the time that he hadn't noticed Zhao Qilin sizing up Yan Mingyu. Now that he thought about it, Yan Mingyu had already caught Zhao Qilin's eye, but whether he would target her was yet uncertain.

"There's something else, Han Bing said Zhao Qilin's background is quite mysterious. Isn't he Zhao Yucheng's nephew? What's so mysterious about that?"

Qin Yu pondered before asking.

"Do you think a mere businessman's nephew could rise to become the deputy chief of the seventh branch?"

Lu Wenrou countered.

"Certainly not likely, unless there's some other background."

Qin Yu remarked. Even with Han Bing's background, he was only able to secure a team leader position.

"I've heard that Zhao Qilin is related to the Ancient Martial Families, which is why the higher-ups hold him in such high regard. Such families are deeply hidden and don't concern themselves with worldly affairs, so ordinary people are unaware of their existence."

Lu Wenrou said uncertainly.

"Ancient Martial Families?"

Qin Yu had heard this term for the first time.

"Yes, our Hua Country has been around for a full five thousand years. Before the widespread use of guns, martial strength was the foundation of a dynasty. Take for example a foreign invasion; of course, the generals would lead the fight. You wouldn't send a Scholar instead to talk the enemy away with his mighty pen, right?

Therefore, the Ancient Martial Families refer to those true hidden families who have maintained their lineages for hundreds or even thousands of years. Even the tides of history haven't impacted them much, as they've always stood firm in the shadows.

Now that firearms are common, the influence of the Ancient Martial Families isn't as strong as before. However, you can still find the presence of descendants from these families among the entourage of important figures. Their bodyguards are definitely not common folk."

Lu Wenrou's grandparents had shouldered guns, so her understanding of certain secrets was definitely deeper than Qin Yu's.

"That being said, this Zhao Qilin is quite formidable!"

Qin Yu couldn't help but frown.

If Zhao Qilin was just acting alone, Qin Yu might have found a way to deal with him, but with an Ancient Martial Family backing him, it was a force Qin Yu could never contend against.

At present, just having the Ye Family and the Martial Alliance to worry about was troubling enough to have him in a fluster.

If it weren't for Lu Wenrou pulling him into Dragon Gate and giving him an amulet for protection, the Martial Alliance might have already made a move against him.

"Don't overthink it; I'm just mentioning it for you to be cautious around him. Besides, since he is from the seventh branch, there would be some reservations on his end; he won't act rashly!"

Seeing Qin Yu with a serious look, Lu Wenrou comforted him.

"Got it, I understand!"

After finishing the conversation, Qin Yu made another call to Yan Mingyu.

He asked her to be wary of Zhao Qilin too, since his uncle lived next door, making encounters inevitable.
