Chapter 277 We Can Try
Xiao Tiantian nodded and added, "We also found out that the Jin family has been in frequent contact with several high-level figures recently. On the surface, they seem to be socializing normally, but in fact they may be exchanging interests."
As I listened to their analysis, I gradually came up with a bold plan. I raised my head and looked at them: "We need more evidence, especially hard evidence that can directly point to the Jin family. Lin Shu may be able to provide some clues, and we can try to cooperate with her."
Xu Sisi's eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly nodded: "Okay, as long as we can reveal the truth, we can try."
Then she patted my shoulder gently and said, "Momo, no matter what happens, I will be with you. However, I thought she would come in."
"I don't know why I'm outside, haha."
Aunt Zhou looked at our reactions in the cafe, thought I must have listened to her words, and then left.
We sat in a warm but slightly cramped corner of the cafe. Xu Sisi pointed at the computer screen with great interest. The screen flashed with the complex and suspicious data on the flow of funds of the Jin family. She analyzed the strangeness in it incessantly.
Xiao Tiantian would occasionally add unusual details that she had dug out from the social dynamics of the top members of the Jin family.
While listening to their explanations, I tried hard to sort out these clues in my mind, but there was always a heavy spot in my heart, worried about my sick grandmother and Lin Shu, who had a close connection with the Jin family.
At this moment, my cell phone suddenly buzzed, vibrating rapidly on the wooden table. I was startled and quickly picked up the phone. Qin Yu's name was displayed on the screen. I was slightly startled, and then I pressed the answer button.
"Hey, Qin Yu, what's wrong?" I tried to keep my tone calm, but the uneasiness in my heart still spread uncontrollably.
Qin Yu's voice came from the receiver, with obvious anxiety and nervousness: "I just got the news that the Jin family seems to be putting pressure on Lin Shu to force her to destroy a diary that is very important to you. The situation is very critical. You should go there quickly. Maybe you can get the diary, which may be the key evidence to uncover the Jin family's conspiracy!"
My face turned pale instantly, and the hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously.
Seeing that I looked unhappy, Xu Sisi and Xiao Tiantian immediately stopped their discussion and looked at me with concern.
I took a deep breath, tried to calm myself down, and then relayed Qin Yu's words to them.
Xiao Tiantian frowned, with a trace of worry in her eyes: "Could it be a trap set by the Jin family like last time, deliberately luring us over?"
I was also full of doubts, but when I thought of the possible existence of the key diary and the danger that Lin Shu might be facing at this moment, I said firmly: "Whether it is a trap or not, this is an important opportunity for us to find out the truth. We can't miss it."
Xu Sisi nodded vigorously, with a firm look in her eyes: "Okay, let's go together."
Jiang Yichen was in the office, exuding a cold aura.
A cell phone rang, and Jiang Yichen saw that it was me calling.
"Hey, Momo."
"Yichen, Qin Yu just called me and said that the diary is very important evidence."
"What diary?"
"that is……"
He just learned that Qin Yu told me about the diary, and that diary is crucial evidence. Once it is used by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences will be disastrous. Thinking of this, he slammed his hand on the desk, and the documents trembled.
He quickly picked up the intercom, "Lin Nan, cancel all my plans for this afternoon, immediately! There is new news."
Without waiting for Lin Nan's response, he hung up the phone, grabbed his coat, and walked out in big strides. When the company employees saw his dark face, they all fell silent, not daring to make a sound.
I was already waiting downstairs in the company, my face full of anxiety and uneasiness.
He walked quickly to her side, held my hand, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Let's go find Lin Shu now and find out about the diary." I held his hand back, as if I had grabbed a life-saving straw.
He and I quickly arrived at Lin Shu's residence. Jiang Yichen rang the doorbell with a gloomy face, his eyes revealing an unquestionable sense of oppression. The door opened, and Lin Shu saw them. A flash of panic flashed across her face, but she quickly pretended to be calm: "Boss Jiang, why are you here?"
"Diary." Jiang Yichen's voice was low and cold, carrying an unquestionable command.
Xu Sisi and I approached cautiously, and I tried to keep my tone gentle: "Aunt Lin, we know it's not easy for you, but this diary is crucial to uncovering the Jin family's conspiracy. Please give it to us."
Lin Shu's body was trembling slightly, her eyes full of confusion and fear: "No, no! The Jin family...they said that if I hand over the diary, they will not let my son go. I can't...I can't hurt him."
Xu Sisi took a step forward, her face full of sincerity: "Aunt Lin, don't worry, we will protect you and your grandson. We have a way to deal with the Jin family. As long as we have this diary, we can get evidence of their crimes and make them dare not threaten you again."
Lin Shu raised her head, tears flashing in her eyes: "Can you promise? You don't know the methods of the Jin family. They are cruel and ruthless. I... I am really scared."
I felt a pang of pain in my heart, and I said earnestly, "Aunt Lin, I understand your worries, but if you are always threatened by the Jin family, you and your son will never live a peaceful life. We are not fighting alone, there are also the police and other righteous forces. If you give us the diary, you are helping yourself and those who have been harmed by the Jin family, including my grandfather."
Lin Shu bit her lip, her eyes full of struggle. She looked at me, her voice tearful: "I...I really don't know what to do. I don't want to be controlled by the Jin family anymore, but I can't ignore my son's safety."
Xu Sisi held Lin Shu's hand and said firmly, "Aunt Lin, we can find a way to contact reliable people to protect your son now. Do you think this is okay? Give us the diary first, and we will fight against the Jin family together."
Lin Shu was silent for a long time, her eyes wandering over us, as if she was weighing the pros and cons. Although she seemed to have made a great decision, she only backed off slowly, her voice was full of determination: "I can't take the risk, I won't hand over the diary."
Afterwards, I mentioned Aunt Zhou. Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, then handed us the worn notebook with trembling hands.
Jiang Yichen took the diary, quickly flipped through a few pages, and only relaxed his vigilance a little after confirming that it was correct. But he still stood in front of me, like a solid barrier, protecting me firmly behind him.
