Chapter 499: Cheating on Both Sides
There is a lot of false information on the Internet.
But some truth can be pieced together.
After all, everyone knew that Xi Muxuan pursued Qi Moxun and had publicly shown her affection many times. After being rejected by Qi Moxun, she turned to target Shen Hanxing.
She used Xi's resources to force Shen Hanxing to death, and even hurt Shen Hanxing's parents.
After Qi Moxun found out that it was Xi Muxuan who did it, he directly terminated all cooperation between Qi and Xi, and joined forces with other companies to freeze Xi's capital chain.
The Xi family could only ask Xi Muxuan to restrain herself.
Xi Muxuan had a bad relationship with her father to begin with. In the end, she made a feint, cheated a lot of people, and then fled abroad.
Han Lingcui stared at the three words "Xi Muxuan" on the screen and tapped his fingers on the table.
Xi Muxuan had harmed Shen Hanxing and was forced to go abroad by Qi Moxun, but now she secretly returned to China to see Jiang Shutong.
Jiang Shutong has always said that Shen Hanxing is an "enemy", but she cooperates with Xi Muxuan, who has harmed Shen Hanxing. This does not make sense at all.
Unless... Jiang Shutong's real target is not Shen Hanxing, but Qi Moxun?
Or, does Xi Muxuan have what Jiang Shutong needs?
She flipped through Xi Muxuan's recent records again.
There were no public activities, only a few purchases at a supermarket in the old town, which was very close to the cafe.
Han Lingcui leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples.
Things are getting more and more chaotic.
Xi Muxuan investigated Chen Hanxing and Qi Moxun, and their targets overlapped with hers. However, Xi Muxuan was the one who had harmed Chen Hanxing, and she met Jiang Shutong again. So, were they enemies or friends?
She recalled the quarrel between Xi Muxuan and Jiang Shutong just now. They didn't seem like they were in the same group. It was more like they were "negotiating terms" and started quarreling after the negotiation broke down.
She picked up her phone, found Xuanyuan Pavilion's WeChat, and hesitated for a long time.
Do you want to tell him this?
Just as I was thinking about it, my phone vibrated. It was a message from Xuanyuan Pavilion: "Have you finished reading the information? Do you want to come out and chat? I'll wait for you at the old teahouse on Huaishu Street."
She replied "I'll be there soon", sorted out the file bag on the desk, the photos and videos on her mobile phone, put on her bag and went out.
The old teahouse is at the end of Huaishu Street. There is a faded curtain hanging at the door with "Lao Yang Teahouse" written on it.
Han Lingcui lifted the curtain and went in, and saw Xuanyuan Ge sitting by the window.
"Are you here?" Xuanyuan Ge looked up and saw her. His eyes softened and he pushed the cold tea in front of her. "Freshly brewed, to cool you down."
Han Lingcui sat down, put her bag on the table, unzipped it, and took out her cell phone and file bag.
"Jiang Shutong told me something today, and... I followed her and saw her meeting someone."
She first told Jiang Shutong everything about the "fake paternity test", including her own doubts.
“I’m not sure if Shen Hanxing really wants to make a false report, and I don’t know why Jiang Shutong told me. Is she trying to make me wary of Shen Hanxing, or is she deliberately trying to sow discord between me and Shen Hanxing?”
Xuanyuan Ge frowned and tapped his fingers on the table: "Xunxun didn't lie. That child is indeed yours."
Han Lingcui didn't believe it in his heart.
But when she saw Xunxun, she did have a strange feeling in her heart.
It was like being electrocuted.
Somehow, she felt that she had a greater bond with this child.
"I know this may be difficult for you to accept. Forget it, let's talk about other things first."
Han Lingcui nodded, suppressed the annoyance in his heart, took out his mobile phone, and clicked on the photos and videos.
"This is the person I saw while following her. Her name is Xi Muxuan."
Xuanyuan Ge took the phone and clicked on the photo.
The first picture shows Xi Muxuan slamming the table, her burgundy hair is very eye-catching.
His fingers paused and his face gradually darkened.
"Xi Muxuan..." Xuanyuan Ge's voice was low and a little hoarse.
He raised his head and looked at Han Lingcui, with a heaviness in his eyes that she had never seen before.
"I used to think my mom just didn't want us to be together and wanted to snatch Xunxun away from me. I agreed to help you investigate because I thought even if she was wrong, it was just a 'scheming'. Once I found out, I could persuade her to come back and make amends..."
He paused, picked up the cold tea on the table and took a sip, but didn't swallow it. His Adam's apple rolled and he spit it out again.
"But Xi Muxuan is different."
His voice became deeper, "Xi Muxuan harmed Shen Hanxing, which is a commercial crime. My mother is now cooperating with her, and it is definitely not a simple 'discussion'. Xi Muxuan must have something my mother needs, or they are conspiring to do something, such as... framing Qi Moxun, or completely destroying Shen Hanxing."
Han Lingcui felt a little pain in her heart when she saw him.
Xuanyuan Pavilion has always been caught between her and her mother. The previous wavering was real, and the pain now is also real.
She reached out and gently touched his hand.
"Xuanyuan Pavilion," she said softly, "I know it's difficult for you. If you don't want to check, it's okay, I can do it myself..."
"No." Xuanyuan Ge interrupted her and held her hand with his backhand, squeezing it tightly as if he was grabbing something life-saving.
"It was my mother who was wrong. I was indecisive before, which caused you to suffer so much and led to the current situation. I can't hide this time."
Han Lingcui said nothing, but just looked at him quietly. She knew what Xuanyuan Pavilion was struggling with.
On one side is the mother who gave birth to him and raised him, on the other side is justice, and then there is her. To personally investigate his own mother, this kind of pain, no one can bear for him.
After a long time, Xuanyuan Ge raised his head, and there was less confusion and more determination in his eyes.
"I'll contact Xi Muxuan. As for my mother, you continue to play dumb. Look into whatever she asks you to investigate, but don't actually do anything. Tell me everything she wants, and we'll deal with it together."
Han Lingcui looked at him and suddenly smiled, "Okay."
Xuanyuan Ge also smiled, and the sunlight fell on their clasped hands, bringing warmth.
Xuanyuan Ge watched her walk out of the teahouse until her figure disappeared around the corner of Huaishu Street. Then he put away his smile, took out his cell phone, and called Qi Moxun.
When the call was connected, Qi Moxun's voice was very deep: "What did you find out?"
"Xi Muxuan."
Xuanyuan Ge's voice also became deeper. "My mother met with Xi Muxuan, and they had a quarrel."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and Qi Moxun's voice became even colder.
"I was the one who provoked Xi Muxuan. She was abroad before, and she has three burrows. There really is nothing I can do about it. Now that she's back, I naturally have to treat her well."
…
Jiang Shutong was sitting behind her desk with a document in front of her. When she saw her come in, she pointed to the chair opposite.
"Lingcui, sit down. How did you like reading yesterday's information?"
Han Lingcui deliberately looked tired and rubbed his temples.
"Mr. Jiang, I've been watching all night and I can't see any problems. Shen Hanxing's dealings with that agency were normal. He just consulted about the paternity test process. He didn't sign a contract or pay a deposit."
Jiang Shutong raised her eyebrows.
"Hasn't signed the contract? Then he might be testing the waters. Keep an eye on him. If he really does sign the contract, tell me immediately. By the way, have you heard anything from Qi Moxun?"
