Chapter 272 With Him, There's Nothing to Fear

Seeing how determined she was, my misunderstanding deepened.

"Aunt Lin, you are evading justice. If you do this, the victims will never get justice."

"I'm sorry, kid, I can't tell you. Don't ask me anymore, just treat me as a bad person."

There was a slight tremor in Lin Shu's voice, as if she had used up all her strength to say this.

There was a flash of determination in her eyes, as if she was trying hard to suppress the pain and struggle in her heart.

After saying this, her body trembled slightly and she slowly turned around.

At that moment, I saw that her back seemed to be hunched a little more, as if she was carrying too many heavy secrets.

Her steps were a little unsteady, and her originally steady pace became messy at this moment. Every step felt like she was stepping on cotton, soft and weak.

Her hands were slightly clenched, and her joints turned white due to the force. She seemed to be cheering herself up, but also seemed to be resisting something.

She walked towards the exit of the pier step by step, her windbreaker fluttering in the wind, making a whistling sound, as if it was her inner sobbing.

I stood there, watching her back gradually walking away, with my heart filled with doubts and anger surging like the tide.

I don't understand why she is so stubborn and why she would rather let me misunderstand than tell the truth.

Is she really a complete bad person as she says?

The wind was growing stronger and stronger, and the waves were hitting the stone foundation of the pier, making a "bang bang" sound, as if it was the question in my heart.

I looked in the direction where she disappeared and didn't move for a long time.

"What happened? Did she say anything?" Jiang Yichen's voice came from behind his ear.

"No, nothing was said. However, the most important thing now is to hurry up and find out the truth."

The next day, Jiang Yichen and I prepared to go to the city archives to find out the secret behind Lin Shu.

On the way there, the atmosphere in the car became serious.

I sat comfortably in the passenger seat, slightly turned sideways, flipping through the information about the Jin family's crimes from some time ago.

Jiang Yichen was driving the vehicle with focused concentration, his hands firmly gripping the steering wheel, his joints distinct and revealing a steady strength.

The atmosphere in the car was quiet and focused, with only the sound of my slow and unhurried narration flowing in the air.

"Based on the clues we have so far, the collusion between the Jin family and Lin Shu can be traced back to twenty years ago."

I spoke calmly, with a gleam of wisdom in my eyes. "They cleverly used the shipping contract to cover up the ugly path of the fake drug circulation. And that vicious woman Lin Shu took advantage of grandma's trust in her and easily obtained those crucial contracts."

Jiang Yichen nodded slightly, his profile was clearly outlined in the sunlight, his thin lips slightly opened under his high nose bridge, and he took over the conversation: "Indeed. Li Yunma's testimony further confirmed this. She once said tremblingly that the ruthless people in the Jin family threatened her child and forced her to cooperate. Such despicable means are simply outrageous. We must race against time to find hard evidence and send them to the trial seat they deserve."

My eyes were firm, and I continued, "That's exactly the point. So when we go to the archives this time, we have to focus on checking the shipping records and contract filings from 20 years ago. Once we find evidence of a direct connection between the Jin family and Lin Shu, we can completely tear off their hypocritical mask."

Jiang Yichen was concentrating on steering the car while listening to what I said carefully.

From time to time, his eyes looked at me through the rearview mirror with hidden concern and tenderness.

Hearing my incisive analysis, he nodded again, his voice low and magnetic, with unquestionable certainty: "Your thinking is always so clear, the information in the archives is indeed the key. But the Jin family and Lin Shu are shrewd and will never sit still and wait for death. You must be careful when you go there."

The corners of my lips slightly raised, revealing a reassuring smile, and my tone was gentle but firm: "I know, I have you by my side."

He freed one hand and gently touched my head. His movements were natural and intimate, as if this was a very common habit. "Well, I'm here. I'm responsible for everything."

At that moment, my heart was filled with warmth, knowing that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, he would stand firmly by my side and protect me."

He smiled, his eyes gentle but firm.

After a brief silence in the car, Jiang Yichen suddenly spoke: "By the way, is there any news from Xu Sisi?"

I nodded and picked up my phone to take a look. "She just sent me a message saying that she is near the archives and is waiting for us outside. She also confirmed with the administrator that the relevant materials are in a warehouse on the second floor."

Jiang Yichen nodded slightly: "Xu Sisi has always been reliable in her work. It will be much more convenient for us to have her to help us out."

I quickly replied to Xu Sisi's message: "We are almost there, you wait for us outside, be careful."

Xu Sisi replied immediately: "Okay, Sister Mo, I've already greeted the administrator, you can just go in when you arrive."

Putting down the phone, I turned to look out the window, feeling a little nervous.

This operation is related to whether the conspiracy of the Jin family and Lin Shu can be completely uncovered, and it is also related to the safety of pregnant mother Li and her child.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.

Seeing my nervous look, Jiang Yichen said softly: "Don't worry, we will definitely find evidence."

I nodded, my eyes firm: "Well, I believe we can do it."

The car slowly drove into the parking lot of the archives. After Jiang Yichen parked the car, he got out first and walked around to the passenger seat to open the door for me.

I got out of the car, looked up at the door of the archives, and a sense of mission surged in my heart.

"Let's go," Jiang Yichen said softly, "Let's go in."

I nodded and walked towards the archives with him.

Jiang Yichen followed behind.

At the same time, Xu Sisi stood under a big tree outside the archives, holding a mobile phone in her hand, her brows slightly furrowed.

She was wearing a simple windbreaker, her hair was a little messy due to the wind, but her eyes were exceptionally sharp.

Since she couldn't enter the archives, she could only communicate and coordinate with the administrator outside and try her best to prepare for our arrival.

She looked down at her phone, confirmed that we were almost there, and quickly dialed the administrator's number: "Hello, this is Xu Sisi who just contacted you. Remember to be careful."

The administrator's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Okay, I got it. I have prepared the information you want to find, just come over."

Xu Sisi breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of gratitude in her tone: "Thank you, thank you for your trouble."

Jiang Yichen noticed something was wrong, his eyes were gentle and firm: "Don't worry, we have arrangements, we can get the evidence."

I nodded, trying to keep calm but my voice was trembling: "I believe it can be done. We can't let the bad guys get away with it."

"Let's go." Jiang Yichen said softly.

I nodded and stood side by side with him. He was like a shield, giving me a sense of security.

When we entered the museum, the administrator looked flattering and said, "Mr. Jiang, the information is ready. I will take you two to the second floor."

Jiang Yichen nodded and said calmly, "Thank you, don't make any mistakes."

The administrator quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's no problem."

"Thank you for your help."

Following the administrator to the warehouse, my heartbeat intensified with every step. I was looking forward to getting the evidence, but also worried about changes.

But Jiang Yichen was calm and steady beside me, which made me feel at ease, as if I had nothing to fear when he was around.
