Chapter 317 Am I not good enough on my own?
In this weather, there is a certain risk involved in any mode of transportation.
Li Chenxu is not a coward, but there is no need for him to risk his life because of this incident.
So he stood by the car, pondered silently for a few seconds, and then said in a deep voice, "Let's not go to the neighboring city for now. Let's go to the company first and sort out what you told me before."
"But sir, if we don't go today..."
"What's wrong with not going today? Are you suggesting they'll run away? Lin Qing, what are you for?"
Before Lin Zhu could finish speaking, Li Chenxu interrupted him sharply. As he spoke, his sharp eyes stared directly at Lin Zhu, making it impossible for anyone to look him in the eye.
Lin Zhu was startled by Li Chenxu's reaction and quickly took a step back, bowing his head in apology: "Your subordinate understands."
Li Chenxu said no more. His deep eyes flickered slightly as he gave Lin Zhu a cold look before turning around and getting into the car.
It snowed for two days in a row, and almost all the sanitation workers in Beijing were mobilized. The snow on the roads could not be completely cleared, and in the end, some machines for the work had to be sent in.
However, this caused a lot of trouble for traffic in the capital.
At this moment, Li Chenxu and his group's car had been stuck in traffic for an hour, and judging from the situation, it was clear that the traffic would continue to be blocked for a while longer.
Lin Zhu kept glancing at Li Chenxu in the back. From the moment he got on the bus, Li Chenxu's attention was completely focused on the tablet in his hands. It was all information that Lin Zhu had investigated. It was unclear whether Li Chenxu had noticed Lin Zhu watching him, as he hadn't looked up once.
After this happened several times, Assistant Lin finally seemed unable to hold back any longer and said to Li Chenxu, "Sir, this traffic jam might last a while longer."
"I know, just say what you want to say. When did you become so hesitant?"
Li Chenxu finally raised his head this time, his sharp gaze fixed on Lin Zhu, as if he could see right through Lin Zhu at a glance.
Lin Zhu trembled under Li Chenxu's gaze: "Sir, the road is blocked here and it will take a while to get to the company. Should I tell you about Li Shuo now?"
"Let's talk about it right here."
This time, Li Chenxu had no objections and readily agreed. The tablet in his hand only contained a portion of the information; he would need Assistant Lin's explanation to understand the details.
Seeing that Li Chenxu had no objections, Assistant Lin continued, "Li Shuo's grandmother and sister have been staying in a neighboring city these past few days. They've been hiding very discreetly. Not only are we searching for them, but another group is also searching for them. If I'm not mistaken, that group should have been sent by the person behind it all..."
Lin Zhu talked a lot. They haven't actually found Li Shuo's family yet, but they have a lot of clues. Even if they find them, it will only be a matter of a day or two.
In just one day, given their efficiency, they were able to uncover so many clues, which was beyond Li Chenxu's expectations.
After hearing Lin Zhu's words, Li Chenxu remained silent for a long time.
After finishing speaking, Lin Zhu didn't dare to say anything more, carefully observing the expression on Li Chenxu's face.
"So now all the clues we have are those you just gave me?"
After a long pause, Li Chenxu finally spoke and asked.
Upon hearing this, Assistant Lin paused for a moment, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, before finally nodding and saying, "We only have one day, and these are the only clues we have right now. But even these are enough for us to find Li Shuo's family."
Li Chenxu didn't speak, but when he heard Lin Zhu's words, he let out a cryptic chuckle.
He looked down at the clues on the tablet, his lips curving upwards, seemingly smiling, but the smile never reached his eyes.
Finding so many clues in a single day is indeed no easy feat. However, the clues that Assistant Lin found seem far too easy to come by.
The person behind this is clearly someone of high status and influence. They spent so much time trying to find Li Shuo and his group's spouses, but now Assistant Lin has almost completed the investigation in just one day.
His assistant is really capable.
Thinking of this, Li Chenxu looked at Lin Zhu and said with a half-smile, "Lin Qing, how many years have you been with me?"
Lin Zhu clearly didn't understand why Li Chenxu would ask these questions at this time. For a moment, he looked at Li Chenxu with a puzzled expression, but in the end, he still answered honestly, "I have been following you for about six years."
When Assistant Lin first graduated, he followed Li Chenxu. The reason Assistant Lin is so decisive and efficient now is largely due to Li Chenxu's guidance.
Although he is currently just Li Chenxu's assistant, if he leaves Li Chenxu, he could easily hold a significant position in any well-known company, thanks entirely to the six years he spent by Li Chenxu's side.
Li Chenxu was lost in thought, and upon hearing Lin Zhu's words, he kept repeating the words "six years".
The more silent he was and the more unfathomable he seemed, the more uneasy Lin Zhu felt. Despite the freezing weather, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Just when he was about to give up, Li Chenxu said, "You don't need to be so nervous, I was just asking casually."
These words left Assistant Lin speechless; he'd never heard anyone ask a question so casually. However, Li Chenxu was still his superior, and even if Assistant Lin harbored some resentment, he couldn't voice it at this moment.
After these words were spoken, neither Assistant Lin nor Li Chenxu said anything more.
It took Li Chenxu and his group about an hour and a half to arrive at the company. Actually, at this point, besides handling company affairs, there wasn't much else they could do at the company.
Today happened to be a day off, so after arriving at the company, Li Chenxu said directly to his assistant Lin, "Today is a day off. You've been so busy these past few days, so take a normal vacation for the next couple of days."
"But sir, you're still at the company. What if something happens..."
"Can't I do it alone?"
Before Lin Zhu could finish speaking, Li Chenxu interrupted him by looking up. His gaze was calm, but given how long Lin Zhu had been by Li Chenxu's side, Lin Zhu immediately lost his train of thought when Li Chenxu looked at him like that.
In the end, he could only lower his head and say, "If you need anything, please contact me. I'll be going now."
After saying that, Assistant Lin hesitated for a few moments before leaving.
