Chapter Ninety-Seven: Suspicion of Identity



"Mr. Xie, I'm sorry, I'm already in contact with Tianhong Company. If you want to meet in person, I'm afraid we'll have to find another opportunity later!"

Xie Huanyu frowned slightly and immediately retorted irritably, "Qin Shengyi, you wouldn't be deliberately using this to settle personal scores and stall for time, would you?"

If it were her father's idea, she wouldn't have made the call at all. Who knew this person would start putting on airs again?

"Why would Mr. Xie think that way? Were you deliberately stalling for time when you said you were too busy?"

"If that's the case, then I'll have to reconsider cooperating with your company."

Xie Huanyu was speechless. Just as she was about to say something, she realized that the person on the other end had already hung up the phone, and their expression became even more unpleasant.

So what exactly does this woman want to do?

She was the one who arranged to meet with me well in advance, and yet she's already contacting other companies in such a short time? That's incredibly insincere.

Xie Huanyu was indignant at first, but if this matter really just ended there, her father would definitely not let her off so easily.

After struggling with her decision, she suddenly stood up, intending to go to the next office to ask Xu Yanshu about the matter. However, she bumped into the man as soon as she stepped out of the office.

Xie Huanyu looked at the man with suspicion in her eyes, "Where are you planning to go?"

Xu Yanshu frowned slightly, displeased by that unabashed gaze, and said casually, "I have an appointment with a client. If you have time, I don't mind if you go in my place!"

Realizing belatedly that her reaction had been a bit excessive, Xie Huanyu waved her hand awkwardly.

"Qin Shengyi asked me to meet before, but I postponed it because I was busy. Aren't you two on good terms? Could you reschedule with her?"

There are priorities, and the most important thing right now is to secure funding smoothly.

hehe……

Xu Yanshu couldn't help but chuckle twice, his brows furrowed with mockery. "The Xie family really knows how to do business!"

She had just misunderstood the relationship between herself and Shengyi several times, even to the point of almost coming to blows, and now she was trying to facilitate the investment again, and actually wanted her to act as a persuader.

"You're overthinking it. I don't have that much influence with Miss Qin,"

"Time is running out. If you don't have anything else to do, I'll be going now!"

Watching the man's hurried departure, Xie Huanyu's expression was uncertain. Xu Yanshu's attitude towards her was becoming more and more perfunctory.

However, Xu Yanshu did not go to meet the so-called client, but instead went to the upscale residential area where Jiang Zhengyu lived.

"You helped me pick up Shengyi from the airport before, and today I helped you bring Uncle He here safely. We're even now!"

Xu Yanshu chuckled to himself; he had originally planned to pick her up himself.

But considering that Xie Junyang had been secretly monitoring him, and for He Wen's safety, he had no choice but to ask Zheng Yu to go on his way.

Xu Yanshu turned to look at He Wen, who was sitting on the sofa. Seeing that his face was no longer as terrifying as before, he asked directly,

How is your hand recovering?

"The recovery is progressing well. With a little more rest, you will be fully recovered!"

He Wen nodded in reply, then asked with eager anticipation, "When do we officially begin dealing with that old bastard?"

Why is this person even more anxious than him?

Xu Yanshu exchanged a glance with Jiang Zhengyu beside her without leaving a trace.

"If we really want to use the evidence you gave me, it might require your personal involvement. I don't know if you can accept that..."

“Of course, no problem,” He Wen said without hesitation, his voice trembling with suppressed rage. “I’ve been waiting for this day for so long!”

He never intended to let Xie Junyang go so easily. If it weren't for Xu Yanshu's appearance, he would have risked his life to perish together with Xie Junyang.

"Besides what I gave you before, I also know some inside information, which, all in all, is enough to put him in jail for the rest of his life!"

“If that’s the case, then we don’t need to rush at all!” As he spoke, Xu Yanshu’s eyes flashed with a meaningful light.

The initial decision to help He Wen was partly out of reluctance to see him ruined by Xie Junyang, but also because it was a desire to gain another ally.

Looking back now, I realize that my decision was absolutely correct.

To avoid drawing too much attention, Xu Yanshu did not stay long. After letting He Wen stay at Zheng Yu's house for the time being, he decided to leave, but he happened to run into Qin Shengyi at the entrance of the community.

"Shengyi, are you here to see Zhengyu too?"

“Yes, I left a document at his house,” Qin Shengyi nodded slightly, then hesitated for a moment before asking, “Brother Yan Shu, if I decide to cancel the investment plan in Xie’s, will it put you in a difficult position?”

Only after being reminded by others did she belatedly realize that Xie Huanyu's claim that there were company matters might be an excuse, and she naturally understood that she did this because she had misunderstood her and Xu Yanshu.

Having been misunderstood and targeted time and again, and then subjected to such personal revenge, she naturally had no intention of prioritizing the Xie Group.

Qin Shengyi also noticed Tianhong in the information compiled by Xu Yanshu, whose qualifications in all aspects were no less than those of the Xie Group.

"No, I've already broken ties with the Xie family, so you don't need to worry about me!" Xu Yanshu shrugged nonchalantly. "And to be fair, Tianhong Group does indeed have a better future than the Xie family."

It seems Xie Huanyu has already been rejected by Shengyi, which is why she wants me to act as a mediator.

A hint of sarcasm flickered in the depths of the man's eyes. "If you don't do stupid things, you won't die"—this saying perfectly describes Xie Huanyu's current predicament.

If she hadn't deliberately put on airs before, things might have already been settled, and there would be no need for her to be so impatient now.

Qin Shengyi nodded knowingly. Although she had already made a choice, Yan Shu was still in the Xie Group, so she had to consider his feelings and situation.

"I have to go back to the company, so I'll be leaving now. You can call me if you need anything!"

Qin Shengyi agreed, and as she watched Xu Yanshu's departing figure, she couldn't help but think of the white-clad boy who always stood up for her without hesitation.

She subconsciously shook her head, and then an unexpected, bold guess came to her mind...

Could it be that Yan Shu is really the same boy from back then?
