Two hours ago.

After seeing Zhang Youye off, Qin Zhi did not reappear.

After eating dinner alone at home, Shu Yi told Ting Li that she wanted to go to the hospital to visit her grandfather.

The cell phone suddenly rang.

Thinking it was Zhang Youye calling, she quickly picked up the phone to check, only to find it wasn't his.

It was Dong Nanliang, a shareholder of the company.

He said this to Shuyi over the phone.

After the shareholders' meeting ended in the morning, he went home and thought about it. Suddenly, he realized that something was not right, so he made a special call to explain it to her.

"Uncle Dong, what's wrong?" Shu Yi asked.

"Girl, do you remember the other shareholder who was sitting by the window the whole time?"

“I remember my grandfather saying that he was a distant relative of the family and would come to visit him. When I poured him coffee, he said that I didn’t need to pour it for him because he didn’t like the kind of thing that foreigners drink.”

On the other end of the phone, Dong Nanliang hummed in agreement twice.

Then, he slapped his thigh.

"His name is Shu Linzheng. Before you came to the conference room, he was sitting by the window by himself, scrolling through his phone without saying a word to us. When I went up to ask him something out of curiosity, he quickly hid his phone, as if he was afraid I would see something."

"Uncle Dong, maybe he has some personal matters to attend to. Is there anything strange about him?"

"I just thought he was chatting with his lover, so I casually chatted with him for a bit."

As he spoke, the voice on the other end of the phone grew louder.

"But girl, after our meeting ended, we all went our separate ways at the company. I overheard him talking on the phone with the Qin family in the underground parking garage."

"The distance was too far. I heard him call out 'Chairman Qin' and then say a few more words. But I don't know what the other person said. It seemed like he didn't even finish his sentence before he got really angry and hung up the phone."

"I didn't take it seriously at the time. I just thought he was talking to the Qin family about Shu Chuanran becoming the acting director. Anyway, everyone knows about Chuanran, and the Qin family will find out sooner or later, so I just got in the car and left."

"I mentioned it to my wife as soon as I got back, and she insisted that something was wrong, so she asked me to call you so you could be prepared."

After saying that, Mrs. Dong, who had been listening for a long time, snatched his phone.

"Yiyi, I am Mrs. Dong."

"So many things happened at the party that day, and I still feel that these events were really sudden. But you also know that compared with your Shu family, our capabilities are really limited, so I could only ask Old Dong to tell you."

“The old man is sick and hospitalized, your great-uncle is away on a business trip, and your uncle has run into trouble. The family must be in a mess right now. You must know that there are people who have their eyes on the Shu family. So you must be very careful and be careful not to be plotted against.”

"Don't worry, as long as the old man wakes up, he will definitely deal with these people one by one."

This was one of the few genuine expressions of concern Shuyi received after her family's misfortune.

Previously, Qin Zhi wanted to seize the mountain and become king, and now Madam Dong is showing concern for him.

Although the Dong family's reminder came a little late, the vast difference in their relationship and their concern still touched her heart.

Holding the microphone, Shu Yi smiled and nodded her thanks.

"Mrs. Dong, thank you for reminding me. I understand, thank you so much."

"You're welcome, Yiyi. You go ahead and do your work; we won't bother you any longer."

After hanging up the phone, Shu Yi thought about it carefully.

Judging that Uncle Song should still be at the company, she immediately picked up her phone and called Song Yan.

During the phone call, she instructed Song Yan to have the monitoring department check the garage surveillance footage after the meeting ended.

If you find any audio surveillance footage of Shu Lin making a phone call in the garage, send it to her phone immediately.

"Should we let them investigate now?" Song Yan pressed.

“Yes.” Shu Yi nodded. “Uncle Song, tell them to hurry up.”

Putting down her phone, Shu Yi got up and sat on the sofa to one side, then raised her hand to pinch her brow.

My chaotic thoughts, which had finally calmed down, were once again brought back to mind because of the phone call from the Dong family.

If, as the speculation suggests, Shu Lin was informing the Qin family but failed to complete his statement, Qin Zhi arrived at the ancestral home immediately upon receiving incorrect information.

They even demanded that she sign the equity transfer agreement, as if no one else was around.

If that's really the case, then in the eyes of the Qin family, Shu Yi is truly not taken seriously.

Regardless of whether the information provided by Shu Linzheng was correct or incorrect, the fact that the Qin family, upon receiving the news, hadn't even confirmed who the acting chairman was, led them to brazenly slap the agreement in front of her.

—If I tell you to sign, you have to sign. Stop dawdling.

With such an arrogant and overbearing attitude, it was clear that he didn't take her, the second young lady, seriously.

Perhaps, it wasn't just her, the second young lady, who was disregarded by them, but the entire Shu family.

However, at the shareholders' meeting, Zhang Youye suddenly became a new shareholder of the Shu Group.

It was undoubtedly a case of unintended consequences leading to unexpected success.

They meant well but did a great thing.

With this unruly prince around, at least for the time being, the Qin family has no chance to try and take over the shares.

With these thoughts in mind, Shu Yi's complicated state of mind gradually returned to a calm state, because whether or not the garage surveillance camera captured the footage was no longer so important.

Although the words were harsh, if the Qin family knew that Zhang Youye, that troublemaker, had become a new shareholder of the Shu Group, they would surely be furious.

As long as the Qin family's wishful thinking is disrupted, Shu Yi feels happy just thinking about it.

Just as she was feeling happy, Shu Yi sent Zhang Youye a WeChat message saying, "Go to the hospital to visit Grandpa." After receiving his reply, she got up and went outside to the dining room.

She signaled to her driver to prepare to go to the hospital.

As she took the backpack from Tingli, almost at the same time she lifted her leg, her phone rang again.

This time it wasn't a phone call.

Instead, it's the notification sound for an incoming text message.

[Zhang Youye is at SAVE bar right now. Aren't you curious why he's here?]

Staring at the unfamiliar number above the text message, Shu Yi pursed her lips. Based on the principle that husband and wife should trust each other, she originally wanted to treat it as a spam message and forget about it.

The next second, the phone in my palm vibrated again.

Following closely behind was a photo of Zhang Youye in a bar booth, which clearly came into Shu Yi's view.

She zoomed in on the photo with her fingertip, stared at it for a long time, held her breath, then put away her phone and sternly instructed the driver at home.

"Let's not go to the hospital, let's go to SAVE."

"Second Miss, SAVE is the most famous bar in Jingnan. Has something happened? There are too many people there, and Young Master Youye isn't here. Why would you go to a bar?" Tingli asked worriedly.

"Go catch them in the act."

After calmly finishing speaking those three words, Chao Tingli gave a wistful smile, and Shu Yi turned and left.

Bathed in the dim light of the lamppost beside her, her solitary figure appeared somewhat frail in Tingli's eyes.

But surprisingly, he was decisive and unrestrained.
