Clicking the "phone" app and checking the call log, Lin Yifan immediately saw a phone number from Ubastan Country.
All the call records below were exchanges between this foreign number and this phone's number.
The most recent call occurred just ten minutes ago; thus, the two tracking agents had not lied. As for whether the mastermind was Zhen Jian, that depended on whether he admitted it.
If he admitted, he was the one; if not, he wasn't.
Now that they had evidence in hand, adamant in their claims, it was really hard for Lin Yifan to doubt them.
However, he still had one last method to try, which was to dial this Ubastan number and listen if the voice was Zhen Jian's.
So, he immediately pressed the redial button and made the call.
"Dudu!!"
"Hello, the phone number you have dialed is switched off, please try again later..."
Hearing this, Lin Yifan felt helpless. He believed that the person must have known that his side had taken control, which is why all contacts were severed.
At this point, he had no choice but to trust these two guys.
But trusting them didn't mean he would let them off.
Thus, Lin Yifan had Yi Chen call the police to handle the aftermath, while he continued to take Zhou Jiajia and the others back to their hometown.
Yi Chen, following Lin Yifan's instruction, called the police to arrest those involved. This group, suspected of murdering citizens, deserved to be sent to jail to reflect profoundly.
In the car, after inquiring about what had happened, Zhou Jiajia and the others realized that this had been a setup by Lin Yifan, so they questioned, "Yifan, did you lie to us about taking us back home to meet your parents?"
They had dressed up so carefully, shopped for a whole day, and even looked up online the art of handling mother-in-law relationships; if Lin Yifan were to say now that everything was a lie, they definitely wouldn't let it slide.
"How dare I joke about such a thing! Going home to meet my parents is real, just wait patiently," Lin Yifan replied.
Receiving such an answer, Zhou Jiajia and the others finally sighed in relief, but then became nervous again.
Facing the unknown always instills fear in humans, unsure of how to react; that was exactly how Zhou Jiajia and the others felt.
Calmly, Zhou Jiajia and the others continued to inquire about the results of the interrogation earlier. They were eager to know who had tried to harm them.
"Yifan, who is the mastermind behind this?"
"Zhen Jian!" Lin Yifan said calmly.
He felt remorseful; he hadn't expected the man to remain unrepentant, continuously pestering him and Zhou Jiajia; he truly regretted not killing the scoundrel outright earlier.
"Zhen Jian! Again him! How infuriating," Zhou Jiajia fumed, her face puffing up, flushed with anger.
Zhen Jian's troubles originated from her, so she felt somewhat guilty towards everyone, especially Lin Yifan; Lin Yifan had, after all, almost paid with his life because of this.
"That scoundrel really hasn't changed, insisting on pestering Sister Jiajia. How come he was never so nice to Sister Jiajia before? What a lecher," An Qi said with disdain.
"Little sister An Qi, let's not talk about that scoundrel anymore. Now we are Yifan's women, and we should focus our thoughts on him," Zhou Jiajia suggested.
Back in college, she really was blind to have fallen for that jerk who juggled who knows how many other girls; luckily, she had discovered Zhen Jian's cheating in time, or it would have been a disaster.
"Okay! Sister Jiajia, let's not discuss that scoundrel anymore," An Qi leaned on Zhou Jiajia's shoulder, comforting her.
Although they decided not to discuss it anymore, their conversation had already piqued Lin Yifan's interest. He really wanted to know what it was about that scoundrel that had attracted his dignified, elegant, beautiful, and generous "big wife."
So, he asked, "Jiajia, back in college, what did you see in Zhen Jian? Why did you like him?"
"Do you really want to know?" Zhou Jiajia countered.
She was hesitant to discuss this matter because she feared Lin Yifan might mind, so she wanted to get a clear idea of his thoughts.
"Really!" Lin Yifan assured, "I'm not petty, I won't bother about past mistakes in relationships."
With Lin Yifan's assurance, Zhou Jiajia felt a bit more courageous and thus divulged everything about her time with Zhen Jian in college to him.
"In my freshman year, when the student union was recruiting new members, eager me, wanting to gain experience and practice interpersonal skills, signed up. The person recruiting me was none other than the senior one year ahead of me, and also the vice president of the student union—Zhen Jian.
Zhen Jian must have seen I was pretty and still naïve about the world, so he started to pursue me aggressively. First, he flirted with me for a while using his eyes; then he used work as an excuse to create opportunities for us to be alone; then he began deliberately getting close to me, accidentally brushing my hand; standing behind me, pretending to guide me in my tasks while subtly sniffing my hair, and so on.
Gradually, I realized he was interested in me.
After observing and weighing everything for some time, I thought he was a nice person, very enthusiastic, and took great care of impoverished juniors, was academically successful, dedicated at work, humorous, and knew how to create romance, so I accepted his pursuit.
Initially, he treated me very well, always met me after class to have lunch together; if it rained, he would braving the rain to bring me an umbrella; during holidays, he would often bring me all sorts of cute gifts to cheer me up; even during my menstrual periods, he would prepare ginger tea for me; but gradually, when my face was covered with horrible acne, he began to distance himself from me.
At first, I didn't understand why, but then one day, a roommate of his, who also had a grievance against him, clandestinely tipped me off that he had cheated, and it was with a beautiful junior with a nice figure.
However, I was hopeful and couldn't believe this, so I confronted him about it; and he admitted everything; he said I was not as gentle as she, not as cute, and didn't love him as much as she did, among other excuses. Among the most ridiculous reasons, he even blamed me for not being ready to wholly devote myself to him.
Hearing this reason, I was dumbfounded. If I had so carelessly handed over my lifelong happiness to you, I would be the silliest woman in the world.
Later, after asking around some more, I gradually discovered his duplicitous nature. He boasted about joining the student council to help all students, but in reality, he was just using his authority to flirt with female students, one after another. His eagerness to help impoverished students and his earnest work were all an act, just a show put on for us naïve girls; even his good grades were stolen by copying from classmates with better scores."
