"I haven't had much contact with Huang Dongsheng, but his reputation has always been quite good. If he really has designs on me,"

"You can spend more time with him. If anyone tries to make things difficult for you in the future, they'll have to think twice about how important Chairman Huang is!" He Wen said meaningfully.

Xu Yanshu nodded in deep agreement; he thought the same thing.

Having worked in the Xie family for so many years, he had witnessed too many cruel realities of "the arm is destined to be no match for the thigh," and he knew very well how much it would benefit him to befriend Huang Dongsheng.

After regaining his composure, Xu Yanshu brought up the main purpose of his visit to He Wen: "So, should we reveal the truth about the kidnapping back then to Chairman Huang?"

After weighing the options, he felt it necessary to expose Xie Junyang's true colors to the parties involved. However, the crucial evidence was in He Wen's hands, so he had to ask He Wen's opinion on how to proceed.

“I think if the time is right, we can hint to Chairman Huang that everyone has to pay the price for their actions,” He Wen’s eyes immediately became enigmatic when the topic was brought up. “Otherwise, it would be too easy for that old bastard Xie Junyang.”

"I'll send you the file later!"

There is no logic in the world that one can reap the rewards of evil deeds, and he dreams of seeing Xie Junyang fall from grace and be smashed to pieces.

Xu Yanshu unexpectedly thought of something else, and after considering it carefully, tentatively spoke up.

"Uncle He, do you have any crucial clues about that fire from back then?!"

Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Since the goal is to settle scores with Xie Junyang, we must start with the fundamental incident: arson that caused casualties. This single act alone is enough to send Xie Junyang to prison for life.

He Wen shook his head slightly, his teeth clenched as he spoke, his eyes blazing with hatred. "There is no evidence, but I heard that person say with my own ears that he wanted to eliminate Chairman Xie completely."

Before the incident, he realized that Xie Junyang was an extraordinary and ruthless character, but he was lucky that as long as there was no conflict of interest, nothing would happen. However, he still underestimated the extent of Xie Junyang's ruthlessness.

Knowing full well that such hatred could not be soothed with just a few words, Xu Yanshu wisely chose to remain silent, and for a moment regretted bringing up the issue so hastily.

After a long while, He Wencai snapped out of his reverie, let out an uncontrollable sigh, and murmured sadly to himself,

"If my daughter were still alive, she would be about the same age as Miss Qin. She is very passionate about art, and if she had really persevered, she might have become a well-known painter!"

"My wife is also a very kind and gentle woman. She hasn't had many good days with me, but she has never complained. On the contrary, she has always supported me unconditionally!"

So if Xie Junyang hadn't done evil, He Wen's family might have lived a very happy life.

His mood inevitably became somewhat heavy. Xu Yanshu's lips drooped slightly. Recalling how he had regarded Xie Junyang as a role model and idol in his earlier years, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

After a moment of silence, he spoke softly, "Uncle He, the deceased is gone. If your aunt is watching from heaven, she would surely want you to live a good life!"

"Don't worry, the reason I acted so impulsively before was because that day was the anniversary of their death, and I was just angry... I will never do it again. I'm waiting to see Xie Junyang suffer eternal damnation!"

Afterwards, he was extremely grateful that Xu Yanshu had stopped him in time. If he had really gone straight to Xie's residence that day, not only would he not have been able to do anything to Xie Junyang, but he would have ended up getting himself killed... At that time, he would really have no way to avenge his wife and daughter.

The two chatted for a while longer, and just as Xu Yanshu was about to get up and leave, He Wen called out to him in time.

"Better safe than sorry, Yan Shu. After all, you should be careful when you associate with Huang Dongsheng!"

External opinions are often the most unreliable. For example, Xie Junyang has always been seen as a respected and virtuous senior businessman, while Huang Dongsheng's current status is certainly not solely due to family support.

Xu Yanshu was taken aback. He hadn't expected He Wen to say something like that. His eyes deepened imperceptibly, and he nodded solemnly. "Okay, I understand!"

Xu Yanshu turned and walked out of the residential area. Just as he was about to start the car, he received a call from Xie Huanyu.

"I'm accompanying Zhou Zehao to a business cocktail party tomorrow, you..."

Xu Yanshu interrupted impatiently, saying, "This is your business, you don't need to tell me!"

The person on the other end was clearly silent for a moment, then asked with displeasure,

"Xu Yanshu, are you even a man? Your wife is going to a party with another man, and you actually..."

Having no interest in listening to the other person's long-winded explanation, Xu Yanshu hung up the phone immediately, his impatience visibly evident.

I don't know why Xie Huanyu called me specifically for this. Was she trying to annoy me?

Let alone attending a dance, she had even drunk a toast with Lu Huai in front of him before. What's more, they're about to officially divorce!

However, Xu Yanshu's eyes flickered slightly, and his thin lips pressed down into a straight line.

Xie Huanyu shouldn't have had any dealings with Zhou Zehao before, so why is she suddenly doing this now...?

Haha! Xie Junyang, that old fox, never stops scheming.

After figuring it out, he was even less able to understand why Xie Huanyu would specifically come to tell him this. Didn't she realize that he had already become a pawn in Xie Junyang's hands?

At the same time, Xie Huanyu felt a mix of emotions; she had only decided to make the call on a whim.

The man's attitude made her feel a little lost. Did Xu Yanshu really not care about her at all...? No, she quickly dismissed the guess. Xu Yanshu was just too proud to admit it. No matter what, he couldn't possibly have no feelings for her at all.

As long as he still cares about her even a little, even if they get divorced, she will find a way to win him back from Qin Shengyi.

Thinking this way, Xie Huanyu's mood gradually calmed down. But when she thought about how her father had intentionally arranged for her to get close to Zhou Haoze, she unconsciously frowned.

Given her father's resolute stance, she knew the consequences of disobeying him on this matter were unimaginable...

Xie Huanyu couldn't help but smile bitterly. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the layers of night outside, she murmured absentmindedly, "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do."
