Xia Lu stood aside, her heart in her throat.

But she didn't say anything to stop Yin Ruyun from making the call.

She knew very well that He Yanchen and Lin Zhixing had probably heard the conversation on the phone last night.

If she remained silent now, she could still deal with it when He Yanchen talked about the phone call.

If I speak up now, it will only make me more suspicious.

It has been almost two weeks since Xia Lu and He Mingyu’s engagement party.

During this period, Xia Lu's mood also changed.

Initially, she just wanted to help her family overcome difficulties and ensure that her good life could continue. But after the super high-end engagement party, all the real and fake friends around her looked up to her.

Even those classmates who had little contact with her before were planning to hold a class reunion to celebrate her engagement.

Most importantly…

Ever since He Mingyu knew she was pregnant, he had undergone a drastic change.

Not only did he personally accompany her for prenatal checkups, he also became more active at work, saying that he wanted to set a good role model for the child.

Xia Lu felt more and more...

Isn't this the life she wants?

She must protect her current life and never let anyone know that the child is not He Mingyu's!

only……

Whether or not we can keep this secret depends on this time.

The call was quickly connected, and Yin Ruyun said directly: "Yan Chen, there is something I have thought about and I want to tell you."

Yin Ruyun recounted the story of how Jiang An helped her that day and how Lin Zhixing, contrary to his usual behavior, came to help her.

"Zhizhi grew up under my watch. I always thought she was a good person, but Jiang An is also quite likable. It's hard to guarantee that she won't be bewitched and hold a grudge against what A Yu did before, and do something out of the ordinary."

Yin Ruyun didn't say it explicitly, but she made her meaning very clear.

She thought that Lin Zhixing had asked Jiang An to do this.

On the other end of the phone, He Yanchen patiently listened to Yin Ruyun's words and directly expressed his opinion: "This matter cannot possibly have anything to do with Lin Zhixing. I have done my best for the He family over the years. If I hear you say anything bad about her again, I will no longer interfere in Xiaoyu's affairs, including the affairs of the He family and his company."

Yin Ruyun was stunned.

She always believed that blood was thicker than water.

Just like how she treated Lin Zhixing, no matter how many years Lin Zhixing had been by her side, an outsider was always an outsider.

I didn’t expect that He Yanchen would just say he didn’t care about them for the sake of Lin Zhixing!

He Yanchen continued, "The police will definitely get to the bottom of this matter. There's no need for us to be suspicious of each other."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

At this time, there was another person sitting in He Yanchen's office, lawyer Shi Nanzhou.

Shi Nanzhou is the most famous litigation lawyer in the North City circle.

He was young and promising. Six years ago, in a home robbery, the male owner resisted with a knife to protect his pregnant wife. Six people broke into the house, four died and two were injured.

The case caused a sensation at the time and attracted a lot of attention because there were several minors among the burglars.

As a lifelong attorney, Shi Nanzhou insisted on defending his client's innocence.

In the end, the court acquitted the man.

Shi Nanzhou also became famous because of this case.

After that, he never lost any case he took on.

He waited until He Yanchen hung up the phone before he said in disbelief, "You're looking for me just because of that guy downstairs? It's just a small matter?"

Today, Shen Gang came to the company downstairs to make trouble again.

He Yanchen then called Shi Nanzhou over.

"Well, he came here to make trouble before, but I ignored it. I wanted to make this matter bigger."

He Yanchen sat in the wide chair with his legs crossed.

He picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.

"I just went down to check. I'm afraid you're not going to tell everyone in the company this way. The old man is right. You're attracted to her daughter."

Shi Nanzhou also bent down to get the water in front of him to drink. As soon as he took a sip, his expression suddenly became strange.

After swallowing the water, he asked in shock, "Is this boiled water?"

"Well, I've been sick recently, and the doctor told me to drink more hot water. Since you're my guest, you should drink the same as me."

He Yanchen picked up the water cup in front of him and took another sip.

"You never mentioned the doctor's orders even when you were seriously ill before. What's wrong with you lately?" Shi Nanzhou glanced at the water glass and said with a smile, "Let me guess, the daughter of the old man downstairs doesn't happen to be a doctor, does she?"

He Yanchen nodded.

He briefly recounted the events of Lin Zhixing and Shen Gang, and concluded by stating his goal: "Let him go to jail and try to get the maximum sentence."

"You have to call me over for such a small matter?" Shi Nanzhou stood up from the sofa. "Okay, call him up and talk to him first. Keep him calm and try to get him in this month."

"Can."

He Yanchen called his assistant and asked the security guard to bring Shen Gang up.

-

In Huayu Hospital, Yin Ruyun had already conveyed He Yanchen's words in the ward.

He Mingyu's attitude is to unconditionally protect Lin Zhixing.

Yin Ruyun was so angry that she walked out of the ward.

She looked at Xia Lu who had followed her out and said, "I don't know what tricks Lin Zhixing used. He Yanchen loved Liu Nian so much back then that he gave her a million in cash when she got married. Now he's actually so obsessed with Lin Zhixing!"

Xia Lu hasn't said a word since then.

She didn't expect that He Yanchen didn't even mention the phone call that night.

Could it be...
