Chapter 266: Tricks
Xiao Tiantian also called: "Sister Mo, don't worry, we will definitely get through this!"
I smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Yichen accelerated the progress of the investigation and found clues from his grandmother's friend. In the evening, he walked into the study room with the information he had just received: "Momo, there is progress."
I immediately sat up straight and asked, "What did you find out?"
"My grandma's friend."
Jiang Yichen handed the document to her. "They are distant relatives of the Jin family. Moreover, they also contributed to the group's financial difficulties before."
Suddenly, just as he was about to find out what was going on, he received another call. After listening to it, his face changed drastically: "What? Something happened to Li Yunma?"
In the hospital, Li Yunma was still being rescued. I sat on a bench in the corridor, clasping my hands tightly.
Late at night, I informed Xu Sisi and Xiao Tiantian, and they also wanted to come, so they accompanied me to the hospital and comforted me softly, "It will be fine."
Just then, a nurse came running over: "Ms. Gu, Ms. Li is awake and she wants to see you."
I immediately stood up and followed the nurse into the ward.
Li Yunma's face was pale, but her eyes were very firm: "Miss Gu..."
"Don't talk." I held her hand.
"have a good rest."
At this time, Li Wan still did not tell the truth. She wanted to retrieve the surveillance footage, but it turned out that the footage had been tampered with.
At the same time, in the Jin family's office, Jin Mingyuan sat on a leather sofa, playing with a jade ring in his hand, with a cold smile on his lips. The assistant stood aside and reported in a low voice: "Boss Jin, everything has been arranged for Li Yunma."
Jin Mingyuan sneered: "Money is not a problem, as long as she can get the information." He paused, "What about the cleaning lady?"
"It has been arranged. She will report to us the progress of Gu Mo's studio at any time."
Jin Mingyuan nodded with satisfaction: "This time, I will make Gu Mo's studio completely bankrupt and never recover again."
After I settled Li Wan down, fortunately it wasn't too serious. When I got home, I continued to ask about the incident with my grandmother's friend. I put down the photo in my hand and said, "This document doesn't seem to make sense. What did you find out?"
"Grandma's friend Lin Shu," he put the file on the desk, "is a distant relative of the Jin family. Moreover, they also contributed to the group's previous financial difficulties."
I opened the file and the first page was a bank statement. The high-interest loan from three years ago was actually from a small, unknown company.
"This company is registered in the Cayman Islands," Jiang Yichen pointed to the information on the document, "and the actual controller is Lin Shu." He paused, "What's more, just one week before we accepted the loan, this company received a huge transfer from the Jin Group."
"During that time, grandma often talked to Lin Shu on the phone, and she looked worried every time after the call. Then suddenly one day, grandma said she had found an "old friend" who was willing to provide a loan."
"One more thing," Jiang Yichen opened his laptop.
"My grandmother mentioned her once or twice before. I know her name is Lin Shu. Now I've found out that her son is the financial director of Jin's Group." He pulled up a personnel file. "Moreover, he joined the company at a time when our capital chain was at its tightest."
I stared at the photo on the screen. The man in a suit and tie did look a bit like Lin Shu. Suddenly, I remembered the tea set that Lin Shu gave to my grandmother on her birthday.
"Wait," I stood up suddenly, "the tea set!"
I rushed into grandma's room and found the exquisite purple clay tea set from the cabinet. I looked at it carefully under the lamp and saw a string of numbers engraved on the bottom of the teapot.
Jiang Yichen followed in and immediately turned on the computer after seeing the string of numbers: "This is the safe deposit box number of the Swiss Bank."
Just then, my cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
"Momo," Lin Shu's hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, "There are some things I want to tell you in person..."
I glanced at Jiang Yichen, and he nodded, motioning for me to continue.
"Aunt Lin, it's so late..."
"I know you're checking on me," she interrupted me. "Come to the old house to see me next week. Remember, you come alone."
The call was disconnected. I looked at Jiang Yichen, who was already checking the surveillance footage around the old house.
"It's too dangerous." He frowned and said, "I'll send someone to follow you."
"No," I shook my head. "Since she specifically asked me to go alone, I'll do as she says. You just need to meet her outside."
Jiang Yichen wanted to say something when my cell phone rang again.
This time it was a text message, and the sender was shown as "Grandma". After her last birthday, Grandma went on a trip with Lin Shu.
I clicked on the message and it was a photo - my grandmother's diary when she was young. On the page that was opened it said: "Shuhua came to visit today and talked about the Jin family. She was very worried..."
My hands began to tremble. I had never seen this diary before.
"It seems," Jiang Yichen's voice turned cold, "things are more complicated than we thought."
That morning, I went to the hospital alone for a prenatal checkup. Gu Bai was worried and insisted on going with me.
"Sister, you haven't looked well lately," Gu Bai said as he drove, glancing at me worriedly from time to time, "I can help with the studio."
I leaned back in the passenger seat and rubbed my temples: "It's okay, I just haven't been sleeping well lately."
"I'm not a child anymore," Gu Bai said seriously, tightening his grip on the steering wheel, "and I've also learned a lot of business knowledge, so I can help."
I turned my head to look at my brother. His profile, which was focused on driving, had lost its boyish innocence and was replaced by a bit of maturity. I felt warm in my heart: "Okay, when this storm is over, I will let you come to help."
When we arrived at the hospital, Gu Bai accompanied me in the waiting room. He sat next to me, his eyes never leaving my slightly pale face.
"Sister, would you like some water?" He handed me a bottle of warm water, his eyes full of concern.
I was about to speak when my cell phone rang. The caller ID showed it was Li Yunma.
"Ms. Li?" I answered the phone. "How are you doing recently? How is the baby?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and Li Yunma's voice was a little hoarse: "Miss Gu... I... I want to tell you something."
I sat up straight, my fingers unconsciously clenched the phone: "Tell me, are you encountering any difficulties?"
"Ms. Gu, you...please don't help me anymore in the future." Li Yunma's voice trembled a little.
I was stunned: "Why? Did something happen?"
"No..." Li Yunma's voice became lower and lower.
"It's just...it's just that my life has been affected...I don't want to trouble you anymore..."
I frowned and said in a gentler tone: “Ms. Li, if you encounter any difficulties, be sure to tell me and I will help you.”
"No need..." Li Yunma suddenly choked up, "Really no need... I'm sorry..."
The call was disconnected. I held the phone, my heart full of doubts. Gu Bai was watching from the side, his eyes thoughtful.
