After leaving the hospital, Xu Yanshu pondered for a moment and then called He Wen.
"Uncle He, are you free now? If so, let's meet up. I have something I'd like to ask you!"
...
About twenty minutes later, He Wen and Xu Yanshu entered a private room in a leisure teahouse.
“I knew Xie Junyang had a group of people working for him, specifically to do things that couldn’t be done in the open,” He Wen said cautiously, a deep sense of apprehension in his eyes. “These people rarely show their faces in public!”
Xu Yanshu nodded knowingly; he was aware of this matter.
The world is going to the dogs; there are no completely clean businessmen these days. Xie Junyang has always been greedy, so it's inevitable that he'll sometimes walk the line between the law and the law.
But... this matter doesn't seem to involve Xie Huanyu, does it?
Recalling the marks on Xie Huanyu's body, Xu Yanshu narrowed her eyes with deep apprehension. If it were anyone else who had said those marks, she probably would have already made a scene.
Knowing perfectly well that Xu Yanshu must have sensed something to ask such a question, He Wen carefully recalled the events, and after a moment, tentatively inquired, "..."
"Have you noticed anything amiss during your visits to the Xie residence over the years?"
Xie Residence?
Xu Yanshu paused for a moment, then shook his head after thinking carefully. "No, is there something wrong with the Xie residence?"
"I suspect there's a basement in the Xie residence, where a lot of things might be hidden. It's very likely that Xie Junyang used it specifically to train his bodyguards."
He Wen narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. People in high positions usually have basements in their homes, and he had seen people emerge from the Xie residence in a weak, feeble state more than once.
basement?!
Xu Yanshu was quite surprised. He had been visiting the Xie residence quite often in the past few days, but he had never discovered any basement.
If such a place truly exists, its contents must be far from simple, enough to warrant Xie Junyang's elaborate efforts to conceal it.
"I understand. I'll visit the Xie residence when I have the chance."
He Wenhan nodded, then earnestly advised, "Be careful in your actions; Xie Junyang, that old fox, is not easy to deal with!"
“Yes, I understand,” Xu Yanshu nodded knowingly, then continued, “Don’t worry, I won’t forget what I promised you. We’ll officially start taking action after Xie Huanyu and I get our divorce papers sorted out.”
A promise is a promise. Since he had already made the promise, he would definitely keep it, especially since Xie Junyang was their common enemy.
He Wen waved his hand dismissively, his eyes flickering slightly, "Take your time, I'm not in a hurry!"
——
Because of Sheng Yi's request, Jiang Zhengyu gained a deeper understanding of the Zhou family.
"There's nothing wrong with the Zhou family. The only thing worth mentioning is the rumor that the current eldest son is actually an adopted son. Before that, the couple had a son, but he was lost a few days after birth."
Qin Shengyi nodded thoughtfully. So why did Brother Yan Shu specifically ask about Zhou Shengyu?
The distance between Chengdu and Kyoto is not short, and the two companies have completely different development directions. Logically speaking, there should be no overlap... Could it be that she is overthinking it?
Jiang Zhengyu frowned in confusion. "Why are you suddenly paying attention to the Zhou family?"
"Have you forgotten that Brother Yan Shu specifically asked you about Zhou Shengyu that day?" Qin Shengyi couldn't help but feel annoyed by the other person's slowness and retorted irritably. Then she muttered to herself, "I felt at the time that Brother Yan Shu wasn't just asking casually."
"But it doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it now. Am I being too sensitive?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhengyu suddenly remembered, and recalling the situation at the time, it was clear that Yan Shu hadn't just mentioned it casually...
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but raise his eyes and give the person next to him a cool sidelong glance, thinking to himself that daughters really are hard to keep at home once they grow up. Before, she was indifferent to everything except work, but now she even noticed such details.
The phone lying next to him suddenly lit up. Jiang Zhengyu subconsciously looked up, and his expression changed drastically after seeing what it was.
Zhou Zehao has been seeing Xie Junyang from Kyoto frequently in private lately.
Something unusual must be going on. Most business dealings begin with business, but these two families have completely different development directions and are located in different places.
“Shengyi, your judgment is very likely correct!” Jiang Zhengyu said as he handed his phone to the person on the other end.
After reading the message, Qin Shengyi's expression immediately became serious.
No one gets up early without a reason. Someone like Xie Junyang wouldn't befriend someone for no reason; it's very likely that they're plotting something detrimental to Brother Yan Shu.
"Brother, we need to remind Brother Yanshu about this."
Jiang Zhengyu nodded in deep agreement, his gaze unconsciously deepening. "I should give the reminder, but there's no rush. I'll go see Yan Shu alone later!"
As he spoke, he picked up his phone and began replying to the person on the other end.
"Then could you please investigate Zhou Zehao's background and find out exactly when they made contact?"
He couldn't help but suspect that Xie Junyang wanted to use this young master of the Zhou family to deal with Xu Yanshu. But if Zhou Zehao and Xu Yanshu had never had any interaction before, the other party might not have been willing to get involved in this mess...
Jiang Zhengyu pursed his lips cautiously, his eyes filled with deep suspicion; things here were probably not so simple.
Realizing belatedly that he had acted too hastily, Qin Shengyi felt a moment of unease before his expression softened.
It seems my premonition was right; it won't be so easy for Brother Yanshu to sever ties with the Xie family... Thinking back to how nervous Xu Yanshu was about Xie Huanyu at the hospital yesterday, my gaze unconsciously became complicated.
Having witnessed Yan Shu's attitude towards Xie Huanyu before, she thought he had already let go, but judging from yesterday's situation, he still seems to care a lot about Xie Huanyu.
Qin Shengyi felt inexplicably uneasy, and her eyes dimmed slightly.
Seeing that it was almost time, Jiang Zhengyu stood up to return to the law firm, but then, as if suddenly remembering something, he turned to look at Qin Shengyi.
"Don't worry, Yan Shu is also my brother. Even if you didn't mention it, I would still take this matter to heart."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have so readily introduced Shengyi to the other party.
Qin Shengyi barely came to his senses and nodded subconsciously upon hearing this, then realized something was amiss. Why did this sound like his relationship with Yan Shu was somehow unusual…
Aren't they all friends?
She opened her mouth subconsciously, but didn't know what to say. When she looked up, she found that Jiang Zhengyu had disappeared.
Qin Shengyi frowned slightly, secretly noting in her mind that the other person was using this opportunity to tease her.
