Ye Rouxin didn't know how to face such a fact, and she couldn't think about what the reason behind it was that Xia He had been lying in wait by her side for so many years. What was Xia He's purpose? Was someone behind Xia He?

"Ningning, thoroughly investigate Xia He. If you find anything, tell me immediately," Ye Rouxin finally spoke after a long silence.

The only thing she could think of was to thoroughly investigate Xia He to find out if there was any connection between these things.

"Okay, Mom, don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth." Ye Xinning assured Ye Rouxin. This was not only something Ye Rouxin wanted to know, but also something she herself wanted to know.

"Um."

Looking at Ye Rouxin's haggard face, Ye Xinning was very worried. "Mom, just stay here and relax. I'll find a way to get you out soon. Until then, you must take good care of yourself."

"Okay." Ye Rouxin reassured Ye Xinning's worries, "I can do it. You don't need to worry about me. Just focus all your attention on things outside. I'll wait for you to find out the truth about this matter."

...

Ye Xinning came out from inside, while Shen Lin was standing on the other side making a phone call.

Upon seeing her come out, Shen Lin put down his phone.

He got up and walked over to her. "We're done talking."

Ye Xinning hummed in agreement. Shen Lin held her hand, asked no further questions, and led her away.

The two went outside, where Director Chen was still waiting. Upon seeing them come out, he immediately came up to them, saying, "Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen."

"Director Chen." Ye Xinning nodded, acknowledging him.

"Director Chen, can't we take the person away?" Shen Lin asked directly, and Ye Xinning also looked at Director Chen, waiting for his answer.

Director Chen looked somewhat troubled. "The higher-ups are paying close attention to this matter, and there may be no way to address it for the time being. Mr. Shen, I hope you can understand my predicament."

Upon hearing Director Chen's words, Ye Xinning pursed her lips.

She wanted to tell Director Chen that her mother was innocent. For so many years, the Ye Group had been in her mother's hands. If her mother really wanted to do such a thing, why would she have waited until now?

She stopped herself from speaking, knowing perfectly well that there was no point in saying these things now; only after finding out the truth would her words be convincing.

Ye Xinning remained silent for a long time before speaking to Director Chen, politely saying, "Thank you, Director Chen. My mother is inside, so I'll trouble you to take good care of her."

"Of course. I may not be able to do other things, but I can help with Mrs. Shen's request."

"Thank you, Director Chen."

After leaving the police station, on the way back, Ye Xinning sat in the passenger seat, watching the scenery flash by outside the window, thinking about what Ye Rouxin had said.

This is no small matter; in other words, the other party seems determined to keep her mother inside.

So who is it?

Xia He?

But her mother said that Xia He had no contact with the project from beginning to end.

Is it Kenneth Fok?

However, since Kenneth Fok married his mother, she should be the one who is least tolerant of him. It should never be Kenneth Fok who did this.

Song Xiang, who is far away in France? Ye Xinning dismissed the thought as soon as it crossed her mind.

Someone like Song Xiang wouldn't choose to do this if she really wanted to, and besides, she couldn't find any reason why Song Xiang did it this way.

Ye Xinning racked his brains but couldn't come up with a solution.

She frowned deeply until Shen Lin drove the car to a stop in front of Ming Mansion.

"arrive."

Upon hearing Chen Lin speak, Ye Xinning finally put aside her complicated thoughts, glanced outside, and saw the familiar Ming Mansion. Ye Xinning was stunned, "How did I get here?"

Shen Lin didn't say anything, got out of the driver's seat, went to the passenger side, and opened the car door for Ye Xinning. "Get out."

Ye Xinning got out of the car, and Shen Lin didn't offer any further explanation. He took her hand and led her inside, saying, "I already had Wenzhu bring your things here beforehand. Mrs. Shen, you're not planning to remarry but still want to separate from me?"

Ye Xinning shook her head; she didn't think that way.

Shen Lin smiled gently, "Then don't ask so many questions, go inside and rest."

Ye Xinning nodded. Although she knew that this was the right thing to do, she was still somewhat surprised by Shen Lin's speed.

"With so many things to do every day, how can you still remember to ask Wenzhu to do this?"

"No matter what happens, I will never forget anything that concerns you."

Ye Xinning was both amused and exasperated by Shen Lin's words, "When did you become able to spout such sweet nothings so easily?"

"What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

"If I say I don't like Mr. Shen, will you change your mind?"

"Won't."

Ye Xinning was amused by his words.

Shen Lin remained silent, staring into her eyes for a long while before finally asking, "Are you feeling better?"

"Um."

Ye Xinning nodded. In fact, Shen Lin did this to help her ease up on her mother's situation. How could she not know Shen Lin's good intentions?

Shen Lin sat on the sofa, and Ye Xinning sat beside him, being held in his arms.

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, I'll be there for you."

"good."

“Let’s investigate this together. You can tell me your thoughts,” Shen Lin said.

Ye Xinning also frankly admitted his thoughts, "I suspect a few people right now: Xia He, Huo Qijun, and the few senior executives in the company who currently hold power."

"Then let's check them one by one."

"Yes." Ye Xinning thought so too. "I will apply to be my mother's defense lawyer in this case. I must clear my mother's name."

"I believe you can do it." Shen Lin lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

...

That evening, Ye Xinning was still researching in her study when her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and glanced at it.

Unknown number.

Ye Xinning answered the phone, "Hello, this is Ye Xinning, who is this?"

The person on the other end of the phone remained silent for a long time. For some reason, the silence made Ye Xinning guess who was calling.

"Huo Yanzhi?"

She asked uncertainly.

Sure enough, Huo Yanzhi's voice came through the phone, "So, you remarried Shen Lin?"

Ye Xinning pursed her lips. So, just how many phone numbers did Huo Yanzhi have? Every time she didn't answer his call, he would just call her again with a different phone.

"Yes, we remarried." Ye Xinning did not choose to avoid Huo Yanzhi's question; she answered frankly.

The person on the other end suddenly became breathing rapidly, and their voice became colder than before.

"Why? Why did you remarry him?"
