Chapter 163 What is their relationship?
The doorknob turned.
With a click, the door was pushed open from the outside.
The man who came in was dressed in a suit and tie, with a tall stature and no expression on his face. It was Ji Bingqian's special assistant, Zhou Yuan.
Seeing the person coming, Xu Yueqing's tense nerves suddenly relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it’s not Chongming.
She turned her head and looked at Chen Quan, who was almost frightened to death, and lowered her voice to comfort him.
"Don't be afraid, he is Mr. Ji's special assistant and he won't do anything to you."
Chen Quan seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. He looked up at her, then glanced at Ji Bingqian in fear, and finally nodded stiffly.
Zhou Yuan walked in with a thick stack of information in his hands. He looked straight ahead, as if he didn't notice the embarrassed Chen Quan in the box, and walked straight towards Ji Bingqian.
"Mr. Ji."
Ji Bingqian glanced at him and raised his chin slightly towards the empty cubicle next to him.
Zhou Yuan immediately understood and followed with the information.
The two of them walked to the other side of the screen, one in front and one behind, blocking Chen Quan's sight.
Zhou Yuan placed the stack of documents in his arms, which was almost as thick as a brick, on the small table, took out a part of it and handed it to Ji Bingqian.
"Boss Ji, you asked me to investigate Chongming's background before, and I've almost finished it."
"On the way here just now, my people uncovered the network of connections behind him."
"Everything that can be found so far is in here."
Xu Yueqing listened to their conversation and followed them.
Her eyes fell on the thick stack of A4 paper filled with names and various complex lines.
This is Chongming's death.
It is also the key to saving Chen Quan's daughter and even saving more people.
She pursed her lips and was about to ask Ji Bingqian if she could take a look too.
The man seemed to have noticed her gaze, and without even looking up, he took out a document from the stack and handed it to her.
"Take a look."
Xu Yueqing's gaze shifted to the document.
He handed it over casually, but Xu Yueqing's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
It's a feeling of being completely trusted.
She suppressed the strange throbbing in her heart and reached out to take the information.
The only sounds in the compartment were the rustling of flipping papers and Zhou Yuan's almost inaudible breathing.
Xu Yueqing read ten lines at a glance, and the more he read, the tighter his delicate eyebrows furrowed.
The information shows a complex network of relationships, each of which involves huge interests and power-for-money transactions, which is frightening to read.
She subconsciously glanced at the man beside her.
Ji Bingqian's expression didn't change much, he still looked cold and indifferent, but Xu Yueqing still keenly noticed that his hand was holding the paper very tightly and his jawline was tense.
Suddenly, both of them stopped moving at the same time.
His eyes were fixed on the same page, or to be more precise, on a photo pinned to that page.
The photo seems to have been taken from the surveillance video of a banquet. The image quality is not top-notch, but it is clear enough.
The background is full of elegant people drinking and chatting, and the protagonist of the photo is none other than President Chongming, who has a warm smile on his face.
Next to him stood a woman in a champagne-colored evening gown.
"Isn't this..." Xu Yueqing's voice was filled with surprise. "Isn't this your sister-in-law?"
Ji Xiaochen's girlfriend, Ai Xue.
That gentle, smiling face instantly appeared in Xu Yueqing's mind.
She still remembered that during that unpleasant meeting at the Ji family's old house, Ai Xue was the only person who showed kindness to her.
