Why did he do all this? Did he investigate whether Xia Wan drugged her?

Ye Xinning had many questions in her mind. To be honest, she was very puzzled by Shen Lin's recent behavior.

This doesn't seem like Shen Lin.

Ye Xinning thought about it, but he couldn't figure out what Shen Lin's reasons were for doing this. Since he couldn't figure it out, Ye Xinning simply stopped thinking about it.

...

After getting off work in the evening, Ye Xinning walked out of the law firm and had just reached her car when she saw the man standing there.

Huo Yanzhi had one hand in his pocket, holding an unlit cigarette, looking so relaxed and dignified.

Having not seen Huo Yanzhi for a long time, Ye Xinning thought that this man would no longer bother her, but unexpectedly, she saw him here again.

Ye Xinning felt a little disappointed. She tried to get into the car directly past Huo Yanzhi, but as she passed him, the man suddenly grabbed her hand.

"stop."

Ye Xinning shook him off, and no matter how much time had passed, she was still very resistant to Huo Yanzhi's contact.

It was a deep-seated hatred. No matter what her situation was with Shen Lin back then, Huo Yanzhi's secret schemes to cause her miscarriage, imprison her, and so on, she could never forgive him in this lifetime.

"Get to the point."

"Does Shen Lin's actions against the Xia family have anything to do with you?" Huo Yanzhi asked, mentioning Shen Lin.

Ye Xinning looked up at him, not expecting Huo Yanzhi to know about this so quickly, and to know that it was indeed related to Shen Lin.

"I don't know, and even if I do, so what? What's it to you?"

Upon hearing her words, Huo Yanzhi's expression changed, and he stared at her with a cold gaze. "Why did Shen Lin do this? Does he want to remarry you?"

Ye Xinning reiterated, "I don't know, and besides, this is my own business, it has nothing to do with you."

"Ye Xinning," Huo Yanzhi said through gritted teeth, "Have you forgotten all the unhappiness you had with Shen Lin? He caused you so much pain, why do you still have so many expectations of him?"

Huo Yanzhi questioned her, getting closer and closer. Ye Xinning stepped back, not wanting any contact with him.

"I have nothing to say to you."

"I will show you that Shen Lin was never the best choice for you."

After saying that, Huo Yanzhi turned and left. Ye Xinning felt a headache coming on. In her eyes, Huo Yanzhi was simply a madman.

...

Ye Xinning drove home, where Aunt Wen had already prepared dinner.

The two sat down to eat, and Aunt Wen brought up Ye Rouxin's matter, "Miss, I've investigated Madam Ye's matter."

"Hmm." Ye Xinning asked while eating, "How is it? Is there anything wrong?"

"We haven't found anything suspicious yet. Everyone around Madam Ye is normal. I've focused my investigation on the Huo family. Although Huo Qijun is putting pressure on you, Miss, he has always been very good to Madam Ye."

Ye Xinning paused in her eating, then nodded and whispered, "Yes, I understand. It's good that there are no problems. Thank you for everything, Aunt Wen."

"You're too kind, Miss. There's no problem with Madam Ye. So what's the next step? Do we need to investigate further?"

"No need, let her take her medicine first."

"good."

...

The next morning, on her way to work, Ye Xinning received a call from Ye Rouxin, asking if she had time to come over for dinner that evening.

Ye Xinning originally wanted to say she was busy, but when she thought of Ye Rouxin's health condition, she hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll go home tonight."

"Okay, okay." Hearing that she was going back, Ye Rouxin on the other end of the phone was very excited and said "okay" several times. She also told the kitchen to prepare her favorite food in advance and that she must come over that night.

Ye Xinning agreed, hung up the phone, and the car drove all the way to the law firm's entrance.

Ye Xinning opened the car door and got out, carrying her bag as she walked into the law firm. Suddenly, a man rushed out, snatched her bag without saying a word, and grabbed her hand, saying, "Give me back my company, give me back my money."

Ye Xinning was startled by this sudden turn of events. The middle-aged man in front of her looked extremely disheveled, and his clothes seemed to have been worn for several days. Just being close to him made Ye Xinning feel somewhat disgusted, especially since the man was holding her hand.

"Who are you? Let go of me."

"Give me back my company, give me back my money, give my family back peace of mind. If you don't, I'll strangle you."

The middle-aged man was very agitated, and as he spoke, his hand had already landed on Ye Xinning's neck.

Ye Xinning was terrified. She was about to push the man away when he was suddenly punched to the ground by someone behind him. Ye Xinning was freed and quickly took several steps back. What had just happened was too frightening.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man was pinned to the ground by another man, who rained down punches on him like a storm. Soon, the man was covered in injuries, and the one who did all this…

Who else could it be but Shen Lin?

Seeing that the middle-aged man was about to be beaten to death by Shen Lin, Ye Xinning pulled herself together from her chaotic thoughts, stepped forward, and pulled Shen Lin back from behind.

"That's enough, Shen Lin."

She spoke softly, but it was this gentle sentence that made the irrational Shen Lin stop moving at that moment.

"roll."

As soon as Shen Lin spoke, the middle-aged man hurriedly got up and scrambled away.

Ye Xinning looked at Shen Lin, whose hands were covered in blood. She wondered if it was from the middle-aged man from earlier or from him.

Shen Lin's appearance saved her from the crisis, and at a time like this, she simply couldn't ignore him.

She took his hand and led him to a chair not far away, then turned and walked towards the pharmacy.

Shen Lin, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist. Ye Xinning turned around and saw Shen Lin looking at her with complicated eyes.

Ye Xinning didn't know what kind of directness it was, but at that moment, she seemed to understand what Shen Lin wanted to say: Don't go.

This kind of dependence was clearly not something that someone like Shen Lin could convey, but Ye Xinning had that strong feeling at that moment.

"I'll go buy you some medicine; your hand is injured," she said calmly.

Shen Lin stared at her intently for a few seconds, then released her hand.

Ye Xinning returned quickly after buying the medicine and sat down on the chair next to Shen Lin. She handed him the medicine and said, "The pharmacist said this medicine is quite effective. You can apply it yourself."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and stopped looking at him.

Shen Lin didn't apply the medicine. He kept looking at her. After a long time, he finally spoke, his voice hoarse and his tone strained, "Ningning, I'm sorry."
