Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty-Three First Entering Zhu Mansion
Not only did Lin Chuang not mind that Zhu Daoshan entrusted him with the private case, but he was very happy.
Before he went to Shanghai to make arrangements in advance, the first problem he had to solve was to bring the relationship with Zhu Daoshan one step closer to achieve an optimal level of near but not close and distant but not far.
This will be very beneficial for meeting him in Shanghai in the future.
Although Lin Chuang saved Zhang Shouzheng and his wife to a large extent because of Zhu Daoshan's face, it was still a matter of uncertainty whether Zhu Daoshan appreciated it or not.
This is what he meant when he told Li Chunfeng that "it was almost hot".
Unexpectedly, this sudden case provided an opportunity to solve his problem.
At eight o'clock sharp, Lin Chuang appeared outside Zhu's mansion on time.
Pang Xinghan had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When he saw him coming, he quickly stepped forward to say hello: "Mr. Lin, are you here?"
"Secretary Pang, I've kept you waiting for a long time." Lin Chuangwen bowed quietly, looking very much like a newly graduated college student.
Pang Xinghan was very satisfied when he saw Lin Chuang's appearance. He took his hand and said, "Let's go, the minister is waiting for you."
When the two of them walked into the mansion, Lin Chuang noticed that there were two strong young men in black suits standing on both sides of the door.
The two of them were silent, with their hands behind their backs and looking at Lin Chuang warily.
Lin Chuang saw that one of the two was slightly fat and had a slightly sinister look on his eyebrows, while the other was fair-skinned and handsome.
Lin Chuangchong nodded slightly to the two of them and entered the yard.
"The fatter one is called Quan Lin, and the thinner one is called Ming Hengyi. They are guards. They live in the mansion at night." After entering the mansion, Pang Xinghan introduced in a low voice.
Lin Chuang nodded.
After entering the mansion, Lin Chuang looked around and was secretly amazed.
It is truly a wealthy family, and it is no exaggeration to call it a mansion.
The yard is very large, and the main building is a two-story foreign-style building.
It is called a Western-style building because its architectural style is European. I don’t know which foreigner built it here.
In front of the main building, there are two rows of bungalows, with about four or five bungalows in each row, and there are three bungalows on the south side.
There is a small door on the west side of the main building, which leads directly to the back of the building.
Lin Chuang guessed that there should be a garden behind the building.
Because most European-style buildings, apart from being different in appearance from Chinese symmetrical architectural styles, basically have gardens and green spaces.
Without taking a closer look, Pang Xinghan and Lin Chuang hurried through the courtyard and came to the main building.
Entering the building, you will find a large living room with very western-style furnishings.
To the west and to the north is a large dining table surrounded by high-backed chairs, and to the south is a large coffee table surrounded by four brown leather sofas, two long and two short.
In the middle of the east side is a staircase that leads directly to the second floor.
At this time, Zhu Daoshan and a beautiful middle-aged woman were sitting on the couch, and next to them stood a young woman who looked like a maid.
"Sir, madam, this is the history teacher for the young master, Mr. Lin." Pang Xinghan introduced Lin Chuang to Zhu Daoshan and Yang Xianfen.
"Hello, sir, hello, madam. My name is Lin Youzhu." Lin Chuang stepped forward, bowed slightly, said hello to Zhu Daoshan and Yang Xianfen, and introduced himself to his family.
The reason why he said Lin Youzhu's name first was because he was afraid that Pang Xinghan would say "Lin Chuang".
Lin Chuang's position is not high, but his reputation is not small, especially in the police circles. This name is unknown to everyone. If someone with a heart hears it, there is no point in hiding it.
"Well, that's right. He's polite and well-mannered. He looks knowledgeable at first sight." Zhu Daoshan didn't speak, but Yang Xianfen expressed his opinion first.
"Madam, you are judging people by their appearance. We are looking for a teacher for our son, not a son-in-law for our daughter." Zhu Daoshan said with a frown.
It could be seen that he was in a bad mood, with a hint of worry on his face.
"That's right. Mr. Lin, please take a seat. Xiaoling, serve tea." Yang Xianfen smiled slightly, stretched out her hand to invite Lin Chuang to sit down, and at the same time ordered the maid behind him.
"Yes, ma'am." The maid named Xiaoling responded.
"Thank you, madam." Lin Chuang thanked her and sat down across from the two of them.
Xiaoling made a cup of tea and placed it in front of Lin Chuang.
"Thank you." Lin Chuang looked up at Xiao Ling and said softly.
Xiaoling smiled softly, did not reply, and retreated behind Yang Xianfen.
With just one glance, Lin Chuang had a bad impression of Xiao Ling.
This woman looked to be about twenty years old. Although she was dressed as a girl, her eyebrows were splayed and she was obviously old. Besides, the smile she gave her just now was quite romantic.
Obviously, this is not an honest person.
"Mr. Lin, which university did you graduate from? Who did you study under?" Yang Xianfen asked.
"Madam, Youzhu graduated from Tsinghua University and studied under Mr. Chen Yinke." Lin Chuang said nonsense.
Unexpectedly, his nonsense didn't matter. Zhu Daoshan frowned slightly, but Yang Xianfen immediately smiled.
"Really? That's great. It turns out to be Mr. Chen's student. How is Mr. Chen in good health?" Yang Xianfen asked.
Lin Chuang was stunned and thought to himself: "I have never seen Mr. Chen before. I have only heard his name. How the hell do I know whether he is in good health or not?"
He quickly asked: "Madam, are you familiar with Mr. Chen?"
"We are familiar with each other, we are both from Hunan," Yang Xianfen said.
Hi!
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuang secretly regretted: "Well, Zhu and Yang are both from Hunan and have good family backgrounds, while Chen Yinke is also from Hunan and comes from a wealthy family in Hunan. They are not familiar with each other at all.
It’s strange. Why didn’t I think of this? Now it’s better, it’s just an acquaintance.”
"Mr. Chen's health is in good condition and there is nothing serious." Lin Chuang could only say vaguely.
"The cold weather in the north is actually not good for his tracheal disease. I just sent him a letter a few days ago, asking him to come to Nanjing to teach. I don't know if he has received it or what his plans are." Zhu Daoshan wrote it calmly.
Lin Chuang has a tip.
"What Mr. Chen said is absolutely true. Mr. Chen keeps coughing every winter, especially when he is smoked by charcoal fire." Lin Chuang hurriedly climbed down the slope.
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be better if he came to the south to recuperate and teach at the same time?" Yang Xianfen said with a look of worry on her face.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense. Mr. Lin, please come to the study with me. I want to ask you some questions about history." Zhu Daoshan was afraid that Lin Chuang's secret would be exposed if he continued, so he stood up and said quickly.
"Yes." Lin Chuang stood up quickly, bowed slightly to Yang Xianfen, and followed Zhu Daoshan to the second floor.
"This is our couple's bedroom, this is Youshan's bedroom, and this is my study."
Going upstairs, Zhu Daoshan softly introduced Lin Chuang to the layout of the room on the second floor.
According to Zhu Daoshan's instructions, Lin Chuang understood the layout of the rooms on the second floor.
There are two bedrooms on the sunny side, the master bedroom is on the east side, the bedroom of Zhu Daoshan's son Zhu Youshan is on the west side, and the study is on the north side.
Lin Chuang nodded and followed Zhu Daoshan into the study.
As soon as he entered the study room, Lin Chuang was secretly shocked...
