The Strongest Master Venturing Urban

Chapter 565: Godfather, You've Been So Good to Me



After a brief hesitation, Lan Moke ultimately chose to answer truthfully.

"I do have a male friend I'm quite close to, but he can't really be considered a boyfriend."

"What does he do? What's his name?"

"He's currently a resident singer at a bar. As for his name... Godfather, if you don't want me to be involved with other men, I can..."

Before Lan Moke could finish, Chen Bin waved his hand to interrupt her.

"Just answer my questions. Don't bring up useless nonsense."

As Chen Bin stared at her intensely, Lan Moke felt a chilling fear wash over her.

Eventually, she disclosed all the information about Zuo Kai.

Zuo Kai is a resident singer at Tianhai Bar. He comes from a poor family, and his parents are elderly.

Even though he sings decently, his inconsistent and lazy nature means he barely earns any money.

After finishing her explanation, Lan Moke lowered her head like a guilty child and started to apologize.

"Godfather, this is something I should have proactively told you. I'm sorry for upsetting you."

"I really don't understand why you'd associate with such a man."

"Because... because he's well-endowed, so I..."

At this point, Lan Moke trailed off and didn't continue.

Seeing this, Chen Bin reassured her.

"Don't be afraid. I don't intend to blame you. For men like Zuo Kai, it's better to distance yourself from them sooner rather than later."

"Godfather, I know I was wrong. From now on, if any man pursues me, I'll let you approve first. If you allow it, I'll date him. Otherwise, I'll stay by your side for life."

Chen Bin patted her head gently, as if soothing a puppy.

He smiled and asked, "Are you short on money lately?"

"Thanks to Godfather, my salary has increased considerably. I'm not short on money."

"Alright, if you ever need money, come directly to me. Since I've taken on the responsibility of being your godfather, I'll naturally shoulder the corresponding duties."

Upon hearing this, Lan Moke felt her heart skip a beat.

For the first time in her twenty-something years, she experienced a sense of emotional stirring.

Suddenly, she stood up, sat on Chen Bin's lap, and cupped his face before giving him a passionate kiss.

"Godfather, you're so good to me."

Chen Bin patted her slender back and said calmly.

"Since you're earning money now, it's time to buy a house. Living in a rented apartment all the time isn't ideal."

"Alright, I'll listen to whatever you say."

As she spoke, Lan Moke picked up her chopsticks and started feeding Chen Bin.

After the meal, she prepared to keep him there for a while longer.

However, Chen Bin mentioned that he had an urgent matter and left directly.

Once in the car, Chen Bin immediately pulled out his phone and called Cheng Zhuang.

"Go to Tianhai Bar right now and investigate a resident singer named Zuo Kai."

The next morning, news came from Cheng Zhuang's side.

Tianhai Bar indeed has someone named Zuo Kai, but he lives in a shared apartment without a permanent residence.

Based on his probing from the previous evening, Chen Bin speculated that the anonymous letter was very likely sent by Zuo Kai.

After all, Lan Moke made much more money being with him than she would through blackmail.

If she wasn't a fool, she wouldn't do something so reckless.

A few days later, Chen Bin received a second letter.

"The recording is very safe in my hands. If you transfer 10 million yuan to my bank account, I'll drop the matter about you and Lan Moke. Otherwise, I'll report you to the Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Commission!"

Looking at the letter, Chen Bin couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

He never imagined that the tricks he once used to trap others would now be used against him.

He took a photo of the bank account on the letter and sent it to Cheng Zhuang.

Soon, detailed information was retrieved.

The account holder's name is Qi Balin, currently a resident singer at Tianhai Bar.

This person is Zuo Kai's roommate!

Chen Bin could almost confirm that this matter was orchestrated by Zuo Kai.

But this guy was unbelievably stupid—thinking using someone else's bank account would make him untraceable.

That evening, Chen Bin met with Cheng Zhuang at a restaurant.

He withheld nothing and detailed his relationship with Lan Moke in full.

Cheng Zhuang nodded, secretly pondering how to obtain the recording from Zuo Kai.

The recording was like a ticking time bomb, ready to jeopardize Chen Bin's political career at any moment.

After their meal, Cheng Zhuang left the restaurant and headed to Tianhai Bar alone.

The place was quite large, but since it was still early, there weren't many people.

As soon as he stepped inside, a waiter greeted him enthusiastically.

"Good evening, sir. How many in your party?"

Cheng Zhuang responded, "I'm here to find someone. Is Qi Balin here?"

The waiter immediately turned his head toward a table where a few resident singers were casually chatting.

"Old Qi, someone's here to see you!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Balin stood up and looked toward the waiter.

Then his gaze landed on Cheng Zhuang nearby.

At this moment, Zuo Kai, who was sitting beside him, frowned slightly and asked cautiously.

"Old Qi, who's this?"

"I don't know either."

Casually replying, Qi Balin quickly walked up to Cheng Zhuang.

"May I ask who you are?"

Cheng Zhuang smiled politely and said in a friendly tone.

"This isn't the right place to talk. Why don't you come out with me?"

Despite his confusion, Qi Balin eventually followed Cheng Zhuang outside.

Once they were seated in the car, Cheng Zhuang pulled out his police badge and placed it before Qi Balin.

"You're involved in an ongoing case. I need your cooperation."

Qi Balin trembled with fear, quickly blurting out.

"Officer, I'm a good person—I've never done anything bad in my life. You must be mistaken!"

Cheng Zhuang replied impatiently, "I only need you to cooperate with the investigation. I didn't say you broke the law."

Taking a deep breath, Qi Balin began to relax slightly.

After putting away his badge, Cheng Zhuang retrieved his phone and pulled up the photo of the bank account sent by Chen Bin.

"Is this your bank account?"

After carefully examining it, Qi Balin nodded.

"It's my account, but the writing isn't mine."

Cheng Zhuang continued, "Do you have this bank card with you now?"

"Yes, I do."

Replying quickly, Qi Balin started rummaging in his belongings.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he abruptly changed his answer.

"Actually, I lent this card to my roommate. He's also a resident singer at this bar. If you want to meet him, I can call him over right now."

"No need. I just want to ask, why would he use your bank card?"

"I have no idea. At the time, I thought there wasn't any money in it, so I lent it to him."

Trying to eliminate him from suspicion, Cheng Zhuang said sternly.

"Your bank card is involved in a major extortion case. Even if you didn't receive the money, as the account holder, you could still face a sentence of ten or more years."

Hearing this, Qi Balin nearly burst into tears in panic.

"Officer, I'm just someone who sings for a living. I wouldn't dare extort anyone—please believe me!"

"If it wasn't you, then who do you think would use your bank card for extortion?"

"Well..."

After a moment's thought, Qi Balin gasped in shock and exclaimed.

"Could it be Zuo Kai?!"
