Chapter 50 The Second Half
Yan Sui used twenty points to redeem the location of Tian Shan's photo, which was in the lounge of Yan Zhaoting's factory office.
Yan Zhaoting was very cautious. He didn't save the photos on his computer, fearing they could become incriminating evidence. Instead, he printed them out and placed them in a drawer in the lounge, ready to use as a threat or destroy at any time. Only he knew the lounge password; not even his assistant, Tian Ji, knew it.
Yan Sui instantly grasped the information in the clue provided by the system: "If Tian Ji can't go in either, does that mean there must be a lot of evidence left inside?"
The system paused and said, "Actually, this lounge is ostensibly his resting place, but secretly it's his office. No one except him can enter."
Yan Sui nodded, immediately opened her phone and started sending messages to Tan Shu.
Seeing this, the system hurriedly said, "But host, we don't know the lounge password. If you want to redeem points for information involving the main character, the points required will be very high. At least fifty, and you only have thirty now."
"No need to exchange," Yan Sui raised her head and placed her phone on the table with her backhand. "I can probably guess what the password is."
In her previous life, she, Sui Yuling, and Yan Jiaan had visited the factory around this time.
Sui Yuling and Yan Zhaoting, accompanied by their lawyer, were discussing matters in the adjacent conference room, while Yan Sui waited for them in the office. Thinking back, it was probably at Yan Zhaoting's behest that Sui Yuling signed the factory transfer agreement.
But Yan Sui didn't know that Yan Jiaan was sitting on the sofa in the office playing a small game on her mobile phone, and Yan Sui was sitting next to her watching her play the game.
After looking for a while and still seeing no sign of Yan Zhaoting and the others returning, Yan Sui withdrew her gaze with a lack of interest and began to look around the office.
She seldom comes to the factory. The last time she came here was on the first day of the new year.
Yan Sui stood up and walked around the office. After a look, the furnishings were almost the same as when she came last time, except that there was an extra door next to the cabinet leading to the next room.
She subconsciously turned the handle and tried to go in, but found that she couldn't push the door open.
Yan Sui lowered her head and discovered that there was a combination lock on the door.
At the same time, voices were heard at the office door, and Yan Zhaoting and Sui Yuling pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing her standing at the door, Yan Zhaoting's expression changed: "Sui Sui, what are you doing standing there?"
Yan Sui didn't notice his abnormality at the time. She withdrew her hand and walked towards the sofa with them: "I saw a door there and thought you had installed a new bathroom. I didn't expect it to have a combination lock."
"Oh, that's not the bathroom, it's Dad's lounge."
Sui Yuling had just sat down when she heard this and interjected, "You opened up the next door to make a lounge? Why would you even have a lock on a lounge?"
Yan Zhaoting sat on the sofa on the other side and continued nonchalantly, "When I'm not at home, I live in the lounge. It's like half a home. The factory has a lot of people coming and going, so installing a security door is safer."
After that, he smiled and teased Yan Sui: "Sui Sui and An An have to study hard. Look how miserable Dad is. He is so busy that he doesn't even have time to go home. The office is almost like my home."
Sui Yuling laughed cheerfully and turned to ask, "Is this security door easy to use? Is the combination lock safe? I want to change the front door of my house to a combination lock. I always forget to bring my keys when I go out, and it's so troublesome to find a locksmith every time."
"It's okay! But you have to remember the combination when you install a combination lock, otherwise it will be troublesome if you forget it."
"The password is fine. I set it up with your birthdays. I won't forget your birthdays."
At the time, Yan Sui didn't notice anything unusual about Yan Zhaoting, and thought he was just running around for their family, so she didn't think much of it. Instead, Yan Jiaan, seeing Sui Yuling mention the password, teased her with a smile: "No matter what password Mom sets, it's always Dad's birthday."
This conversation made Sui Yuling blush. Yan Zhaoting also laughed beside her.
After Yan Jiaan teased Sui Yuling, he took advantage of the situation and wanted to tease Yan Zhaoting: "Then is the password for Dad's combination lock Mom's birthday?"
Yan Zhaoting denied it: "It's not Mom's birthday."
"What is that?"
Yan Zhaoting smiled and said, "It's Dad's own birthday."
Yan Jiaan didn't think much about it at all. He just uttered an "ah" in response to the situation, then turned to Sui Yuling and said indignantly, "Mom, don't use Dad's birthday next time. Use your own birthday too. Look, Dad doesn't even use Mom's birthday."
“.......”
Yan Sui listened from the side and laughed as the family quarreled, completely unaware that not long after that, Yan Zhaoting would abandon them and betray their family.
She didn't know why Yan Zhaoting had revealed the password at that time. Was he just casually saying something false, or was it really the secret? She had no way of knowing.
But Yan Sui thought that the information he said was probably not a joke.
Because if what he said was false, if Yan Jiaan tried the password and it showed that it was wrong, it would arouse their suspicion. And given Yan Zhaoting's self-centered personality, he would most likely use a password related to himself.
So Yan Sui was more inclined to believe that what he said at that time was true.
As for why he spilled the beans so easily, perhaps it was because he had already let go of all the baggage he had carried, his plans were about to be fulfilled, and he no longer needed to hide anything. In his extreme joy, he revealed the true information during the conversation.
—
Yan Sui and Tan Shu worked out a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. They asked her to find a way to invite Yan Zhaoting to their house in the name of her father. Then Yan Sui took advantage of this time to go to the factory office, crack the password and enter the lounge to get the photos.
The factory is an hour's journey from Luwan. Even if Yan Sui arrives there and is informed by the factory staff, it will still take him an hour to catch up with Yan Zhaoting.
As long as she cracks the password and gets the photo within an hour, and then meets up with Lin Jingyang who is waiting for her at the door, she can complete the task.
Before that, she didn't intend to alert the enemy.
Lin Jingyang parked the car in front of the factory early. Yan Sui sat in the passenger seat, waiting for Tan Shu's message.
This is a mission that cannot fail.
When Yan Sui thought about what she was going to do soon, she couldn't help but feel nervous. Her heart was beating fast and her palms were sweating. She lowered her head, her eyes fixed on the phone on her lap.
Lin Yangyang glanced at her sideways, taking in her nervousness at the moment.
This was the first time he saw Yan Sui so nervous.
Lin Jingyang had never seen such nervousness in any of his past lives. She had always seemed calm and composed. It was the same when they first met in the hospital, when she learned she had cancer, and even before her death, she was like this, a smile on her lips, no trace of fear on her face.
She was like this in her second and third lives.
He stared at Yan Sui with his eyes lowered for a long time, then bent his fingers and touched the back of Yan Sui's hand.
Her thoughts were interrupted, and Yan Sui turned around in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Lin Jingyang opened his palm upwards and gently raised it in front of her: "Would you like to shake hands? I can see you're a little nervous."
Yan Sui laughed: "Why? Your hands are a panacea, and the tension will disappear if you squeeze them?"
"You can try."
Yan Sui did not agree, but shook her head: "I never put my hope on anyone other than myself."
As soon as she finished speaking, the phone on her lap suddenly buzzed twice. Yan Sui's body trembled, and she quickly lowered her head to pick up the phone and took a look, then muted it and closed it: "I'm going in."
Lin Jingyang nodded.
Yan Sui opened the car door and just stepped one leg out of the car when her hand that was resting on the seat was suddenly grabbed.
She turned around and saw that the smile on Lin Jingyang's face had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a solemn and serious expression. He held her hand tightly and said in a serious tone, "Be careful, I'll wait for you outside."
Yan Sui blinked slowly and suddenly smiled: "Don't worry!"
“…”
.
As soon as Yan Sui entered the factory's office building, she was stopped by the front desk: "Who are you looking for?"
Yan Sui held up the family photo on her phone to the front desk: "I'm looking for Yan Zhaoting. I'm his daughter."
"Oh! You are Mr. Yan's daughter! But Mr. Yan just went out and is not in the factory now."
"Is he coming back today?"
The receptionist thought for a moment and said, "It seems he's just going out for a while and will be back soon."
Yan Sui immediately followed her words and said, "Then I'll go to his office and wait for him! I'm not in a hurry."
"That's okay too."
The receptionist asked Yan Sui if she knew where the office was. Seeing that Yan Sui knew, she let her go by herself.
It was not difficult to enter Yan Zhaoting's office, not to mention that after she revealed her relationship as Yan Zhaoting's daughter, she was even more qualified to enter Yan Zhaoting's office.
Yan Sui wasn't worried that the front desk would know the true situation of their family, because what Yan Zhaoting did was always shameful and illegal. Tian Ji knew that it was because Yan Zhaoting needed him to be his own knife. He would not let more irrelevant people know about this.
After successfully entering Yan Zhaoting's office, Yan Sui closed the door. In order to prevent other spies in the factory, locking the door would attract too much attention, so Yan Sui just closed the door and did not lock it.
She walked around the shelf and found that the door to the lounge was indeed the same as in her previous life.
Yan Sui walked to the door and gently slid the back of her hand across the door lock screen, and immediately a nine-square grid of numbers popped up.
At this moment, the system spoke in her mind: "Host, are you sure the password is correct? If you enter it wrong, will the password lock sound an alarm?"
"No way," Yan Sui hesitated as her hand hovered in the air. "In my previous life, An An also pressed it twice, but the alarm didn't sound even though the password was wrong. Even if the alarm did sound, it would probably be after three or five times. But it's possible that it will cool down."
"Okay then, host. Be careful with your input."
Yan Sui carefully entered Yan Zhaoting's birthday on the screen, and the next second -
"Wrong password."
Yan Sui and the system were both shocked.
The system hurriedly asked: "What's going on? Did you press the wrong button?"
Yan Sui also frowned: "Maybe I accidentally pressed the wrong button just now, then I will try again."
But after entering Yan Zhaoting's birthday again, the combination lock still made a mechanical sound of "wrong password", and Yan Sui felt as if her heart suddenly stopped.
"It's over, host. There's really something wrong with the password."
Yan Sui's mind went blank, and the roaring sound of tinnitus filled her entire brain.
The air around her grew thinner, as if an unknown hand had grasped her neck, tightening and choking her. The furniture around her began to spin, as if a black hole would appear and swallow her in the next second.
The system called out twice before Yan Sui came back to her senses.
"What should I do, host? The password is wrong."
Yan Sui frowned, "That's impossible. Yan Zhaoting said it himself. The password is his birthday."
"Maybe he lied to you. After all, he was wary of you, wasn't he?"
Yan Sui still shook her head. "No, I won't. You should know Yan Zhaoting. Although he planned all this carefully, he is a cold-blooded and selfish person. When he faces success, he will definitely be complacent and silently show off his success in front of us. That way, when we think about these things later, we will regret not being on guard. And he must be enjoying our feeling of powerlessness."
These days, Yan Sui has been trying hard to recall her past life. She discovered that Yan Zhaoting was just like that. In his last days, he had said a lot of suggestive things. He was showing off his success to them.
He planned such a big game, how could he resist showing off?
That's why Yan Sui was certain that half of what he said to them was definitely true.
Especially this password. For some reason, Yan Sui was very sure that Yan Zhaoting must have been caught off guard and told the truth when he said this password.
"Host, we only have one last chance. Think carefully, besides his birthday, does Yan Zhaoting have any other special days? It's best if you can't guess them."
Ding——
A white light suddenly flashed through Yan Sui's mind.
Unpredictable day...
A day that no one could guess even if I told them...
Yan Sui suddenly raised her head, stepped forward, and pressed the combination lock again.
The system alarm sounded loudly, and I shouted several times in my mind: "No, host."
But Yan Sui ignored him.
"Host! If we make another mistake, we won't have a chance! If we lock onto it, Yan Zhaoting will definitely come back—"
Didi, click——
The door is unlocked.
The system suddenly fell silent.
Yan Sui pressed the handle and the door opened.
She walked quickly towards the desk with drawers.
The system reacted and asked in its mind: "Host, how do you know the password?"
Yan Sui replied while carefully searching the table: "Didn't Yan Zhaoting say it was his birthday?"
"But didn't the password you just entered show an error? Didn't he give you a false alarm?"
"I told you, he was telling the truth back then," Yan Sui paused for a moment and said softly, "He just mentioned a date that we couldn't possibly guess."
"What do you mean?" The next second, the system synchronized with the picture in Yan Sui's mind.
"Have you forgotten? Yan Zhaoting is an adopted son."
When Yan Zhaoting was five years old, his parents died in a car accident. With no relatives willing to take him in, he was adopted by a local orphanage. At six, he was adopted by a couple who changed his name and designated the day they brought him home as his birthday.
But whether it was Yan Zhaoting's fate to be parentless or something else, when he was sixteen, the parents who adopted him, his father, died of illness. His mother, who was always depressed, also died not long after.
After Yan Zhaoting lost his parents, he left that place and came to Sushan, where he started working everywhere and lived alone.
Afterwards, I met Yan Sui’s mother, Sui Yuling.
Sui Yuling didn't know that Yan Zhaoting was an adopted son, and his children didn't know either. He wouldn't mention it to them either.
If she hadn't been reborn, the system would have used a short biography to explain the backgrounds of several people around her, covering only the superficial aspects of her life before her rebirth. Yan Sui wouldn't have known that he was also an adopted son.
Later, when she was looking for evidence in Yan Zhaoting's study, she saw an old household registration book in a notebook in his drawer with a "invalid" stamp on it.
There are only three people in the household registration book. The head of the household is surnamed Ye, his wife is surnamed Lin, and judging by the age on the third page, it is their child, named Ye Chenghua.
The moment she saw the name, Yan Sui remembered the character information sheet the system had shown her when she first returned. Yan Zhaoting's real name was "Ye Chenghua" and he was adopted by the Yan couple at the age of six and renamed "Yan Zhaoting".
This is the household registration book of Yan Zhaoting’s original family.
Yan Sui was particularly impressed by the column of Yan Zhaoting's date of birth on the household registration booklet.
Because Yan Zhaoting's birthday was January 1st, the day her home was destroyed, and it was also a nightmare that she had many times in her dreams and could not escape.
Yan Sui thought that what Yan Zhaoting had said at the time must be true. However, he wouldn't set a number that anyone could guess as his password. It was indeed his birthday, but it was a birthday that no one else knew except him.
"So, the information provided by the terminal can't be useless, right?" Yan Sui said softly.
Perhaps the "terminal" mentioned by the system had already made predictions based on data calculations, until she would encounter such an experience later, so Yan Zhaoting's life story was specially written in the character information column.
It's a hint to her, it depends on whether Yan Sui can realize it.
Fortunately, she hated Yan Zhaoting so much that she wanted to bring him down completely in her life again, so when she read his messages, she didn't dare to miss a single one and engraved all his information deeply in her mind.
After searching the drawer on the left and not finding what she wanted, Yan Sui turned around and searched the drawer on the right.
The drawers were not locked, and the moment Yan Sui opened them, she saw a document about the factory's outstanding debts. Yan Sui opened it, glanced at it, and took a photo of the useful information inside with his phone. Then he put the document back in its place and continued to carefully search for photos.
Finally, Yan Sui found the photos in an envelope pressed by a book.
Without looking at the photos any further, she put them back into the envelope and put them in her backpack.
"Host, it's still early. Do you want to look for more clues?"
Yan Sui nodded and continued to search the remaining drawers.
She actually didn't know what the records of what Yan Zhaoting did would look like, so she took all the photos she could and planned to take them back to show Lin Jingyang.
After searching through all the drawers that could be searched, Yan Sui carefully put the things away, then left the lounge, closed the security door of the lounge, and sat back on the sofa obediently, as if she had been sitting there all the time.
She calculated the time using the system. When the front desk clerk came into the room for the second time to bring her food, she suddenly stood up and asked, "Isn't my father back yet?"
The front desk clerk said, "I don't know! Mr. Yan only said he would be back in the afternoon, but he didn't say when."
"Okay then, I'll be leaving first. The school just suddenly notified us that we need to go back to get the materials."
Yan Sui's reasons were very convincing, and she had been waiting here for quite a while. The front desk staff did not suspect anything and, after seeing her out the door, smiled and asked her to tell them in advance next time she came.
It was not until the front desk staff entered the building that Yan Sui walked around the factory gate and found Lin Jingyang who was waiting in the alley not far away.
As soon as they got in the car, without waiting for Yan Sui to speak, Lin Jingyang asked, "Do you want to go eat?"
Yan Sui paused and looked up in surprise: "You're just thinking about eating when you're out here?"
Lin Jingyang chuckled twice: "No, I was thinking about you. I thought about you and rushed here because you didn't have lunch. You must be hungry now, right?"
Yan Sui buckled her seatbelt: "It's okay, not very hungry. I thought you would ask if I got anything."
"No need to ask," Lin Jingyang said, "I knew everything went well from the look on your face when you came back."
Everything is seen through.
Yan Sui turned on the sound of her phone and replied to Tan Shu's message, informing him that she had already come out.
"So, do you want to go eat?"
After sending the message, Yan Sui closed her phone, leaned back, took a long breath, and her shoulders slowly relaxed: "Can you accompany me to Tian Ji first?"
Yan Sui hadn't told Lin Jingyang that she was here to get Tian Shan's photos. To her, these were Tian Shan's secrets. Although it wasn't her fault, she, a young girl, didn't want to tell anyone about this, so she respected her choice.
Hearing her words, Lin Jingyang didn't say much. He just pulled out the handbrake, turned the steering wheel to drive the car out of the alley, and then slowly drove towards the elevated road outside the city.
During this period, for some reason, Tian Ji did not go to the company, but stayed at home with the mother and daughter.
When Yan Sui followed her memory and found Tian Ji's home, a family of four was eating around a small table and chairs.
When Tian Ji's wife saw two strangers standing outside the house, she stopped holding the bowl and asked cautiously, "Who are you looking for?"
Hearing the noise, the others at the table turned around and looked towards the door.
When Tian Shan saw Yan Sui, his eyes lit up and he subconsciously called out, "Sister Yan Sui."
Tian Ji's face changed.
On the contrary, Tian Ji's wife seemed to have heard of Yan Sui's name from somewhere. She hurriedly put down her bowl and chopsticks and stood up: "She is Yan Zhaoting's daughter, right? The one who saved Aliang at the reservoir some time ago, right?"
Yan Sui hummed softly, and paused for a moment when her gaze touched the threshold: "Can I come in?"
"Okay, okay!" Tian Ji's wife slapped her head, "It's all my fault. I didn't react at the moment. Please come in, please come in."
She led Yan Sui and Lin Jingyang to the sofa on the side.
The leather on both sides of the sofa had cracked, and the color of the middle cushion had been washed white. When Yan Sui sat down, she could clearly feel that the cushion had no support and had sunken.
As soon as she sat down, Tian Ji's wife pushed the little girl sitting next to Tian Shan to come to her side.
She pushed the little girl's shoulders and said with a smile, "Hurry, Aliang, call for help. Last time you fell into the water, it was this sister who saved you at the reservoir."
Tian Liang had two pigtails and smiled with curved eyebrows. She called out "Sister Yan Sui" sweetly: "Thank you for saving me."
Yan Sui's heart softened, and her hand couldn't help but touch Tian Liang's cheek.
The last time, the scene was chaotic, and she couldn't see Tian Liang's face clearly because of the mist in the water. After rescuing Tian Liang, she was immediately surrounded by people. She was quickly taken away by Lin Jingyang. This was her first time seeing Tian Liang.
In fact, Tian Liang and Tian Shan look very similar, with curved eyebrows and small mouths. Their appearance is the same as their personality, giving people the impression of being well-behaved and obedient.
Tian Ji's wife said, "Last time I heard that you saved Aliang, I wanted to take the children to thank you. But their father stopped me, saying that you had something going on at home, so I didn't come to bother you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tian Ji's eyes suddenly became nervous, as if he was worried that she would say something.
Yan Sui didn't pay much attention to this. She touched Tian Liang's cheek and tilted her head to ask, "I heard that she's not in good health. Did she have any effect after she fell into the water last time?"
"He just had a fever for a few days, but he's fine now," Tian Ji's wife said with a smile. "Speaking of which, I have to thank your father for lending us the money. This allowed Aliang to receive treatment. When your family's problems are over, I will definitely bring them to your house to thank your parents."
Under Tian Ji's vigilant gaze, Yan Sui smiled softly and responded with "Okay".
She did not expose him, nor did she expose the lies that had been deliberately woven into this family.
After chatting with Tian Ji's wife for a few words, Tian Ji sent her away with an excuse.
This was exactly what Yan Sui wanted, so she didn't say anything.
After Tian Ji's wife left, without waiting for Tian Ji to speak, Yan Sui took the initiative to say: "I'm not here to see you, I'm here to see Tian Shan. I want to talk to her alone."
Tian Ji was stunned.
Tian Shan, on the other hand, seemed to realize something and suddenly stood up from the table and chair: "My room is over there, sister, come with me."
Tian Ji seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Tian Shan: "Dad, can I talk to Sister Yan Sui alone?"
.
The door closed, completely isolating the two spaces inside and outside.
Yan Sui didn't hide it anymore. She lowered her head, took out the envelope from her bag and handed it to the other party: "I got the photos back. What to do with it is up to you."
Tian Shan's body was shaking, and his hand holding the envelope couldn't stop shaking.
Seeing this, Yan Sui gently stroked the back of her hand and said, "There's no record, just this one copy. If you destroy it, these photos will never appear in this world again."
After choosing to exchange points for photo clues, Yan Sui still had twenty points left.
She traded her remaining points for an answer.
She wondered if there was a backup of the photo.
The moment she heard the answer was "no", Yan Sui also breathed a sigh of relief.
Not for her, but for Tian Shan, who was relieved.
Hearing her words, Tian Shan couldn't help sobbing softly.
Yan Sui hugged her and let her cry on him, patting her back gently with his palm to comfort her: "Don't be sad, no one can threaten you now, right?"
With Yan Sui's comfort, Tian Shan slowly stopped crying: "Sister Yan Sui, thank you."
Yan Sui laughed: "Don't thank me, I came here with a purpose, we just get what we need."
She lowered her eyes and whispered, "I helped you get the photo back because I wanted you to tell your father the truth and ask him to help me. I'm not a good person either. I only did it for myself."
There were still tears on Tian Shan's eyelashes, which were gently wiped away by Yan Sui with her fingertips.
"Tian Shan, can you do me a favor? Please tell your father about this."
After Yan Sui said this, her heart was pounding and even her breathing slowed down. She looked at Tian Shan fixedly, afraid of missing the hesitation on her face.
After she finished speaking, the room fell into silence.
Time passed minute by minute, but Yan Sui's heart beat wildly without stopping at all, but even faster than before.
She held her breath, her eyes were sore and swollen but she didn't dare blink, for fear that if she did, she would miss Tian Shan's answer.
Finally, she heard the person in front of her say "OK".
Yan Sui's shoulders suddenly relaxed.
Tian Shan lowered his head and whispered, "Even if Sister Yan Sui didn't come today, I planned to tell Dad about it in the next two days."
Yan Sui was stunned: "Why?"
"Because you said before that it was them who did something wrong, not us."
—
When Yan Sui brought Tian Shan out of the bedroom, the two people sitting at the door stood up at the same time.
Tian Ji walked quickly to Tian Shan, his eyes moving up and down her body. He opened his mouth, but when he saw Yan Sui beside him, he didn't say anything.
Yan Sui walked around Tian Ji and went to Lin Jingyang.
Lin Jingyang asked softly, "Are you done?"
Yan Sui shook her head slightly.
At the same time, Tian Shan, who was standing beside him, suddenly said, "Dad, I want to tell you something."
Tian Shan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Tian Shan and then at Yan Sui: "What?"
Yan Sui and Tian Shan exchanged glances and nodded slightly. She turned to Lin Jingyang and said, "Let's go to the car outside!"
Lin Jingyang smiled and said, "Okay."
He never asked Yan Sui why. From the moment he came into her side, he decided to obey everything she said unconditionally.
In the south, the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is not that big in winter. Tian Ji's house has no heating, and even if you sit in the inner room for a while wrapped in a cotton jacket, you will still feel very cold. Just now, Yan Sui sat on the sofa and shivered several times.
As soon as Lin Jingyang got in the car, he started the car and turned on the heater.
The heater blew, the car temperature rose, and Yan Sui's body slowly warmed up. Once the body warmed up, various functions began to slack off, making people unable to help but feel sleepy.
Yan Sui didn't dare to sleep, but stared inside through the car window.
Lin Jingyang watched her from the side for a long time, and seeing the solemnity on her face, he asked, "Are you worried?"
Yan Sui subconsciously hummed, glanced back at Lin Jingyang, and then turned her gaze back to the house: "I am a little worried, but not about Tian Ji."
"Um?"
Yan Sui took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "I'm worried about Tian Shan."
Lin Jingyang didn't respond, and Yan Sui stopped talking to him, staring intently at the Tian family's gate.
After an unknown amount of time, the door of the Tian family was opened again, and Tian Ji walked out of the house and walked straight towards their car.
Yan Sui opened the car door and got out, standing right in front of Tian Ji.
Tian Ji glanced behind her. Yan Sui understood what he meant and explained, "The glass of the car window is very thick. He can't hear the outside noise inside. If you are worried, we can go to a place where there is no one."
Tian Ji waved his hands feebly, and when he spoke, his voice was several degrees hoarse than before: "When did you know about Ah Shan's matter?"
"Not long ago."
"The time when you and I first met? Did you come here on purpose to test us?"
Tian Ji was very smart and immediately thought of the hidden thoughts of each other when they first met.
Yan Sui did not deny it: "I guess so! I wanted to use Tian Shan's matter to get you to help me."
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Tian Ji suddenly raised his voice.
At this moment, a car passed by in the alley, and the headlights shone directly on Tian Ji. It was also at this time that Yan Sui discovered that Tian Ji's eyes were full of red bloodshot and there were still traces of tears around his eyes.
“…”
She was silent for a long while before she said, "Because she doesn't want to."
Tian Ji was stunned.
"She was photographed, and she was worried that the photos would be circulated by Yan Zhaoting, so she didn't dare tell anyone." Yan Sui paused and continued, "Also, she always thought that Yan Zhaoting was your family's savior."
The moment she finished speaking, Tian Ji's body seemed to be hit by something, his steps suddenly became unstable, and his body swayed from side to side.
His eyes were wide open, red and filled with disbelief. His lips parted for a long time, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Yan Sui knew what he was thinking at the moment. Seeing his bewildered look, she continued to ask, "So you still think that by hiding your family, you are saving them? Do you still believe that after you help Yan Zhaoting take the blame, he will help you take care of your family?"
Tian Ji's pupils shrank suddenly: "I..."
Yan Sui looked at him quietly, and no matter how sad or shocked he was inside, he couldn't say a word.
She lowered her head and said slowly, "I stole the photo from Yan Zhaoting's office. I don't know when he will find out, but no matter what, I have a way to get away, and he can't do anything to me.
"You should know that the factory is already heavily in debt. My family and I will not accept this mess. My friend hired the best lawyer in the industry for me. Yan Zhaoting's infidelity can help Mom win the divorce lawsuit. Once the lawsuit is won, we will leave Sushan, and we will not want the property he transferred from us. We just want to get away from him cleanly."
She raised her head and looked him straight in the eye. "What about you? You, who share the same hatred and are wading through the same dirty water as him, can you help your family get out of this?"
Tian Ji remained silent.
Yan Sui continued, "I know you're planning to take over all the messes on Yan Zhaoting's side, and I also know that you used the children as an excuse to get a divorce from your wife in order to distance yourself from them, fearing that future events would affect them.
"But it's useless. Once everything you've done is exposed, you'll be a criminal forever, and your helpless family will be the first target.
"Or do you believe Yan Zhaoting will help you take them abroad together?"
Tian Ji's body trembled violently.
Yan Sui took in his reaction and knew that she had guessed right.
She took out a document from her bag and handed it to Tian Ji: "This is what my friend got. Your family is not on the list of people who fled the country with Yan Zhaoting."
Yan Sui didn't know what kind of deal Tian Ji and Yan Zhaoting had made, but she could probably guess it from Tian Ji's reaction.
It was nothing more than him admitting all the evidence of Yan Zhaoting's guilt, and Yan Zhaoting took his family abroad with him.
