"The old man is really taking this to heart!"

Jing Min calmed himself, walked to the table, tapped his phone, switched the call to speakerphone, and spoke sarcastically.

"To kidnap someone, they even went so far as to have a 'new' face made. My wife is truly honored!"

"You got a good look at his face?"

There was a pause on the other end of the phone.

Then came Old Master Jin's feigned surprise.

"What new face?"

"Tsk! You don't mean she's hooking up with that 'new friend'?"

Jing Min chuckled but didn't reply.

At that moment, the door was pushed open, and Li Yan strode in, his face grave.

"Mr. Jing, we have a new lead."

He was holding a stack of documents in his hand, flipping through them as he spoke.

"We used the person's face from the surveillance footage, combined with iris recognition data, to connect to the public security system for identity verification and tracking,"

"Although his identity information was blank, the system found that his iris matched a previously lost file in a database."

He paused, his eyes filled with a strange expression.

"It's a real face, it's Zhou Heng who went missing before."

"What?"

Yan Zhou frowned and immediately walked over.

"Haven't we already locked him up?"

Li Yan's tone became even lower.

"I just went back and confirmed, it was a body double who had undergone plastic surgery,"

"The skeletal structure, physical appearance, and DNA don't match; the previous one was just a cover-up."

Jing Min's face instantly darkened.

How could it be Zhou Heng, who's always haunting us?

He has designs on Yangyang!

If he uses force, Yangyang definitely won't be able to resist.

Also, they had just had a big argument, and Yangyang was probably still angry.

If Zhou Heng takes advantage of the situation...

For a moment, he felt dizzy and his whole body swayed slightly backward.

"President Jing!"

Li Yan looked nervous and instinctively reached out to help him.

Jing Min waved his hand, took a step back, and forcefully suppressed his emotions.

"Need not,--"

He clenched his teeth, his voice low and cold.

"Go find someone quickly!"

Upon hearing the order, Yan Zhou immediately turned around, waved to his subordinates inside the room, signaling them to prepare to depart immediately.

Jing Min picked up the phone from the table, hung up the call immediately, and strode towards the door.

But after taking only two steps,

He felt a little dazed, lowered his head, and shook it slightly.

Li Yan immediately took two quick steps to catch up with him, blocking his way, her face showing a hesitant expression.

Jing Min's gaze deepened, and he let out a soft chuckle.

"do what?"

Without further hesitation, Li Yan pulled out a black pill bottle, his voice hushed.

"Mr. Jing, this is what Parker left for me last time. He instructed me to take it if you experience dizziness or any other discomfort."

Jing Min's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his expression changed slightly.

He swept the bottle of medicine aside with a flick of his wrist, his tone stiff and low.

"Need not"

Having said that, he strode away.

My phone started vibrating again, and the screen displayed an incoming call notification.

He glanced at it, then extinguished it without any hesitation.

—Yang Jinchu.

He also bears responsibility!

She was by his side from the moment they boarded the cruise ship.

Wasn't she the one who trusted him the most?

Then he has a responsibility to ensure her safety!

How could you so easily persuade her to go to Mr. Jin's "appointment" alone based on just a few pieces of information without ensuring her safety?

Although Jingmin herself knew that her abduction had little to do with Yang Jinchu,

The root cause actually lies with him.

It was his ridiculous jealousy that sparked the argument, and it was his careless words that caused her to leave in anger.

It was his impulsiveness that left her alone, making her vulnerable to being taken advantage of!

But now, the guilt weighing on my heart is so heavy that it's almost suffocating.

He could only constantly transfer his anger to others, numbing himself with venting his anger and shifting blame.

Otherwise, he feared he would be completely overwhelmed by regret and helplessness.

Li Yan didn't seem to care after being scolded; his face was just full of worry.

Parker said that President Jing's family's hereditary disease has been fully triggered—not like the previous "poisoning," but a "lesion" that is more troublesome than poisoning.

Poison can be detoxified immediately, but disease cannot be eradicated in a short time!

More seriously, this condition can trigger bodily reactions when stimulated—including dizziness, vertigo, and temporary imbalance—leading to an impaired ability to make accurate judgments.

Perhaps this is the real reason why Mr. Jing is so obsessed with his wife—the trigger for his symptoms and the stabilizing factor that keeps him calm are both the same person.

But for a key figure in charge of a super-large conglomerate...

Such a condition, once made public, could destroy everything.

Rivals will immediately seize upon this to launch a major attack, and shareholders within the group may also jointly propose his removal from office.

A decision-maker with such a "hidden flaw" cannot be convincing.

At that point, he might not only lose power, but also be completely ousted from the game.

After giving instructions to his men, Yan Zhou noticed Li Yan standing hesitantly at the door, so he walked over.

Noticing the black medicine bottle in his hand that he hadn't yet put away, she immediately understood.

He raised his hand and patted Li Yan on the shoulder, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"Put it away, finding someone is the priority."

Li Yan nodded.

His gaze swept over the few key subordinates still remaining in the room, his tone cautious.

"Are these people... all reliable?"

Yan Zhou turned around and glanced around, then replied in a deep voice,

"Don't worry, they're all trustworthy."

"Um,"

Li Yan responded softly.

Since President Jing refuses to accept a complete cure, those of them who are subordinates can only be more cautious.

As long as no one possesses conclusive medical evidence, this secret can remain hidden.

This is why, even though Mr. Jin already knew that Mr. Jing had a hereditary "mental" problem, he was helpless.

One of the reasons why we can only try to undermine him by taking detours is...
