Half an hour later, Chen Xin returned from running errands.
Before he could put down the car keys, Bai Long followed him inside and shared his doubts, speculations, and the outcomes of today's investigation.
Living next door did have its advantages.
"You suspect that Lai Jingshan was released only after paying the ransom?" Chen Xin looked at Bai Long with a face full of surprise.
"Unless we find the wooden box he mentioned."
Chen Xin opened the refrigerator, casually took out two bottles of mineral water, and handed one to Bai Long.
Gu Dong Gu Dong, he drank it down, feeling much refreshed.
"Didn't Li Wanshan explain yesterday that the only target was his wife, and Lai Jingshan was involved by chance? He was just lucky to have escaped with his life. Have you not considered how long Jinyuan River is? Who knows where the current could have taken him?"
"Since their target was his wife, it would be impossible not to know Lai Jingshan's worth."
