Zou Sheng asked suspiciously, “Are you sure? Who does he eat with? Why do they eat together so frequently?”

Madam Wang shook her head and said, “I’m not sure about that, but it’s certainly a man. The waiter told me.”

Shen Yin and Meng Heng asked some other questions. As expected, Madam Wang answered them honestly. The two of them did not stay long. After they left, they drove to the Rongsheng Restaurant that Wang Gang frequented.

As the car drew nearer to the restaurant, Shen Yin noticed that the streets became more crowded. The area was bustling with pedestrians and the streets were crowded and dirty. The old building standing by the street was only five stories tall.

Clearly, this was not a place where rich people lived.

Zou Sheng asked curiously, “What exactly is Wang Gang thinking? If he wants to have a gathering with his friends, why not choose a nicer place? He clearly has plenty of money.”

“There’s only one explanation.” Shen Yin analyzed as she drove. “The friend he’s meeting lives nearby.”

Rongsheng Restaurant was next to a market. There were not many customers in the small shop, perhaps because it was not yet lunchtime.

Shen Yin parked at the entrance and walked in with Zou Sheng.

The lady boss immediately welcomed them warmly. “What would you like to eat? We have a new chef with excellent culinary skills!”

Shen Yin put her arm around the lady boss’s shoulders and led her to the kitchen.

The lady boss backed away warily and asked nervously, “You’re not here to eat. What do you want?”

Zou Sheng smiled and showed his police badge. He looked around at the few tables of customers. “You don’t want to be questioned here, right?”

The lady boss immediately put on a fawning smile and led them into the kitchen. The chef looked at the two of them in confusion. After the lady boss glared at him, he lowered his head and focused on cooking,

The lady boss brought two chairs over and nervously placed them behind Shen Yin and Zou Sheng. “Feel free to ask whatever you want.”

Shen Yin sat down and took out her phone. She pointed at Wang Gang’s photo on the screen and asked, “Have you seen this person before?”

The lady boss smiled when she saw him. “Yes, of course I’ve seen him before. He’s very generous. He always tells me to keep the change. Moreover, he looks like an important person. We’re also very surprised that a big shot like him is willing to eat at a small restaurant like ours!”

Shen Yin put away her cell phone and quickly looked around the restaurant. She asked, “Do you remember who he ate with?”

The lady boss nodded. “I remember. It’s a well-dressed man. But he’s always borrowing money from the man in the photo. They’re almost always talking about money. Once, I was curious and asked him what he did for a living. He glared at me fiercely and told me not to be nosy.”

Shen Yin looked at the mess in the kitchen and frowned slightly. “Your shop doesn’t even have surveillance cameras installed?”

The lady boss smiled in embarrassment and said, “I’m sorry, Officer. This is a small restaurant. There’s no need to install cameras, which are quite expensive. Besides, I don’t even have a computer, so it’s no use installing a camera. I might as well save some money.”

Zou Sheng frowned and reminded her, “According to the food management laws, you have to install cameras in your shop.”

The lady boss knew that she was out of luck. She smiled apologetically and said, “Yes, yes, yes. We’ll install them immediately.”

Seeing that she could not learn anything from the restaurant, Shen Yin returned to the car with Zou Sheng.

She looked around thoughtfully and suddenly asked, “How far is this place from Tan Li’s house?”

Zou Sheng quickly replied, “Not far. It’s a ten-minute drive.”

Shen Yin nodded and tapped her fingers on the steering wheel. She asked curiously, “I remember that Tan Li’s husband, Hu Jin, is the boss of a company? He must be very rich?”

“That’s right.” Zou Sheng nodded matter-of-factly. “Nowadays, all the bosses of the company are richer than us police officers. We do the most tiring work, get the least salary, and work hard.”

Shen Yin raised her eyebrows and turned to look at him without saying anything.

Zou Sheng met her gaze in surprise. After a while, he reacted and said in surprise, “That’s right! Hu Jin is so rich. Why would he stay in such a place? I’ll check his company’s financial situation immediately!”

Soon, Zou Sheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, snapped his fingers. He pulled up the tax report that Hu Jin’s Company had submitted to the Industry and Commerce Bureau and the company’s public financial statements. He said in surprise, “I found it! But this shows that there’s nothing wrong with Hu Jin Company’s finances!”

Shen Yin nodded. “Looks like we have to visit Tan Li’s parents to find out more about the situation.”

The two of them were about to set off when Shen Yin’s phone suddenly rang. It was Shen Nian.

As soon as the call connected, Shen Nian shouted anxiously, “Mom, Grandpa suddenly fainted!”

It was almost lunchtime, so Shen Yin looked at Zou Sheng apologetically and said, “I’m sorry, something has come up. I have to go home.”

Zou Sheng stared at Shen Yin in disbelief and nodded in a daze.

What did he just hear? Shen Yin had a son?
