"As for your cousin?"
"Oh, you must be wondering how I knew, right?"
Old Master Jin chuckled, his voice deliberately drawn out with a mocking tone.
"It's quite a coincidence."
"Although I have been keeping an eye on you in Haicheng, Haicheng is Jingmin's territory after all. No matter how I arrange things, I can't figure out his deeper secrets."
However—
His smile was meaningful.
"While keeping an eye on it, we actually made an unexpected discovery."
"Take yesterday for example, Jingmin suddenly sent people from the hospital to investigate the identity of a man named Jin Xuan."
"I was puzzled at the time, how could he be so careless as to go to a public hospital to check his records?"
"But I kept an eye on him. Didn't he previously exploit a loophole in the contract out of jealousy to send that young man abroad?"
"Now they're investigating their identities—I'm thinking, even if Jingmin is petty, he wouldn't go so far as to retaliate against their entire family, would he?"
Chu Wuyang's face turned slightly pale upon hearing this.
She realized that Old Master Jin was deliberately letting slip some information.
"You're saying... Jingmin deliberately sent Jinxian to Thailand?"
Her voice was strained.
"Oh, so, Chu girl, you didn't know?"
Old Master Jin paused, his voice carrying a hint of perverse admiration.
It's like slowly and deliberately peeling back the layers of a knife.
"Haha, but speaking of which, this Jing Min kid is really ruthless, he has a bit of my style when I was young."
"Never show mercy to a threatening rival in love."
"He actually sent the person to the most ruthless underworld family in Thailand—the Chen family."
"Tsk, speaking of the Chen family, they were mortal enemies with Jingmin in business back in the day."
"Chu girl, just think about it, how meticulous is this boy?"
“He knows very well that when Jin Xian gets into trouble, you will definitely come to him for help because you saved his life.”
"If he then adopts an attitude of 'I am an enemy of the Chen family and cannot help you,' he can easily and effortlessly reject your request, thus giving you an explanation while leaving that kid completely hopeless."
"That's amazing, incredibly amazing!"
"I knew it! Jingmin has potential; the younger generation will surpass the older..."
As Grandpa Jin's voice faded into the distance, all that remained in Chu Wuyang's ears was a buzzing sound.
She struggled desperately, her voice trembling with her last strength.
"You're talking nonsense... Jingmin couldn't possibly do that."
"Yes...you're talking nonsense...this is outrageous."
“Jing Min clearly knows that Jin Xian is my savior. Even if he's jealous, he has a limit. He would never go crazy like this…”
"Of course a normal person wouldn't."
Grandpa Jin's voice rang out, sounding like a sigh, yet also like a laugh.
"Girl, don't forget—Jing Min isn't a normal person."
"Not...a normal person?"
Chu Wuyang murmured, her eyes momentarily glazed over.
The next moment, as if she had suddenly grasped something, her eyes lit up, and her tone became firm.
"No, Jingmin is a normal person!"
“He is undergoing treatment, and I am fully aware of his treatment progress,”
"Everything is progressing normally, and the treatment reports show that everything is stabilizing..."
"So you're talking nonsense, it's all nonsense!"
Old Master Jin's tone turned serious as he slowly uttered the last sentence.
"Yeah?"
"Then do you think... it's possible that Jingmin even fooled the doctor?"
Chu Wuyang lost control of her emotions, her voice trembling.
"Nonsense, all nonsense..."
On the other end of the phone, Mr. Jin's voice carried a hint of sigh and regret.
"Sigh, it seems that Chu girl still trusts Jingmin too much."
"Women who are deceived by men are the most pitiful."
"And I, an old man, am the one who can't stand seeing women being kept in the dark and deceiving themselves."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone beeped and the call was disconnected.
Soon, the phone screen lit up, and a series of photos popped up.
In the photo, Li Yan looks tense as he negotiates with several men in suits in a dimly lit private room. The man opposite him has the distinctive family crest of the Chen family from Thailand tattooed on his arm and has a cold expression. There are thick folders on the table.
Finally, one contract was highlighted, with the heading "Overseas Exclusive Performance Agreement".
Key terms are concise and professional:
— The performance organizer (Jin Xuan) shall exclusively provide performance and endorsement services to Party A (Chen's Entertainment Group) during the agreement period and shall not terminate the contract midway, leave the country without authorization, or change the work arrangements without authorization.
— Party B shall unconditionally comply with the itinerary, performance and business cooperation plan formulated by Party A.
— Without Party A's consent, Party B shall not return to China without authorization. Breach of contract shall be subject to substantial compensation (no less than five times the total contract amount).
— Contract validity period: three years.
There are several marked places on the appendix, with Jin Xian's signature and the seal of the Chen family's representative highlighted in red pen.
Chu Wuyang stared at her phone screen, her fingertips trembling slightly, her heart pounding as if it were in her throat.
As the photos scrolled by, her face gradually turned pale, and her breathing became erratic.
Li Yan, the Chen family, the contract...
Jin Xian previously mentioned "high-value overseas contracts".
She had initially thought it was just a business operation, but what she was seeing now almost perfectly matched what Mr. Jin had said.
"No, it's impossible..."
She murmured to herself, staggered backward, and almost knocked over the coffee table.
In a panic, she rushed to the drawers in the room and frantically pulled out stacks of thick psychotherapy reports.
