—With you here, how could I not come…
This sentence kept echoing in Ye Xinning's mind—so brief, yet so powerful.
She lowered her head, looking at the floor, and for the first time realized that a single sentence could have such a profound impact on her.
Shen Lin said no more, but held her hand tightly. "Let's go, Mom is still waiting for us inside."
"good."
Ye Xinning and Shen Lin walked in together. As soon as they entered, everyone looked up at them.
Who are you?
"Excuse me, Ye Rouxin is my mother. I am Ye Xinning. I want to see my mother."
"Ye Rouxin's daughter?"
"Um."
"I'm sorry, Ye Rouxin was just brought here by us and doesn't have the right to visit her yet."
Ye Xinning frowned. According to the rules, that was indeed the case.
She was careless; how could she forget this because she was worried?
Just as she was wondering how she could see Ye Rouxin, a middle-aged man walked over from not far away. "Mr. Shen is here. I'm sorry, I was held up by work."
Ye Xinning looked at the person walking over and saw that it was Chen Qing, the director of the Public Security Bureau.
"Director Chen, hello."
Chen Qing walked up to Shen Lin, his attitude friendly and polite, "Mr. Shen, please wait a moment, I'll make some arrangements."
"good."
Chen Qing turned and whispered a few words to the person next to him, when someone came up to Ye Xinning and said, "Please come with me."
Seeing the sudden turn of events, Ye Xinning said, "Let's go." Shen Lin took her hand.
“Mr. Shen, please take care of your business first. We can get together again later when we have time,” Chen Qing said from the side.
"Okay, thank you, Director Chen."
"Mr. Shen, you're too kind."
Ye Xinning followed Shen Lin and walked with the others. Thinking about what had just happened, she quickly understood what was going on.
If Shen Lin hadn't come, she would never have been able to see her mother.
"Thank you," she said softly, squeezing Shen Lin's hand.
Shen Lin lowered his head, his gaze falling on her face. "What nonsense are you talking about? We're husband and wife. Do we need to say thank you to each other?"
Ye Xinning, "..."
Too.
They are now husband and wife.
She no longer needs to shoulder burdens alone when she encounters problems; Shen Lin is now by her side.
When Ye Xinning met Ye Rouxin, there was a long table between them, and in that room, there were many people watching them.
Ye Xinning knew that it was not easy for Shen Lin to get this meeting opportunity, so she calmed herself down as quickly as possible.
"mom."
Ye Rouxin hadn't expected Ye Xinning to be able to come in. In just half a day, her face was already full of fatigue and vicissitudes, and her usual dignity and seriousness were nowhere to be seen.
"Ningning."
Seeing how haggard Ye Rouxin had become, Ye Xinning felt a pang of sadness and struggled to hold back her tears.
"Mom, Shen Lin came with me. We don't have much time, so can we make it quick?"
"good."
"I remarried Shen Lin. Before I talk about your situation, I feel it's necessary for me to tell you this."
Upon hearing Ye Xinning say that she had remarried Shen Lin, Ye Rouxin was initially surprised, but then she understood.
“You both still have feelings for each other, so remarriage is only a matter of time. But I’m glad you saw through it so quickly.”
"Thank you, Mom."
Ye Xinning pursed her lips and continued, "Mom, why were you suddenly found out that you were suspected of embezzling funds, and such a large amount at that?"
Do you think I would make such a basic mistake?
“I believe my mother would never do such a thing.”
Hearing Ye Xinning say that she believed in her, Ye Rouxin was touched. "It's good that you believe in me. I thought you would doubt me too."
“I am your daughter, and I will not doubt you even if anyone doubts you.”
Ye Rouxin's eyes were a little moist. She was a strong woman who had weathered many storms and walked in the business world for many years. She seemed strong, but in reality, she had a soft heart. Ye Xinning was her daughter, and what she longed for most was Ye Xinning's trust.
“Ningning, your belief gives Mom strength. I’m so happy that Mom can tell you clearly that I have never done anything illegal or criminal.”
"Why did this happen?"
As a lawyer, Ye Xinning was acutely aware of the principles of public security work. If there wasn't overwhelming evidence, the public security authorities wouldn't have arrested Ye Rouxin so quickly.
"I was framed."
"Who is it?" Ye Xinning asked.
"I have no idea."
Ye Rouxin rubbed her temples. "I have no clue what to do. The police acted too quickly. There were no warning signs at all. I still don't know how the funds that were supposed to be invested in the project ended up in my personal account and became my personal investment profit."
"Invest in projects?" Ye Xinning caught the key point in Ye Rouxin's words.
"What project? Mom, could you explain it to me more clearly?"
"It's a real estate investment project. A month ago, the project officially started construction. The project manager applied for funding, and I signed it. But for some reason, the money wasn't used for the project. Instead, it became my personal profit. I'm still completely baffled and have no idea what happened."
Ye Xinning remembered the key points Ye Rouxin had mentioned. "I will look into the project, but Mom, I have a few questions I want to ask you."
"Okay, go ahead."
"Xia He, is this related to the project you mentioned?"
Ye Rouxin was puzzled. Why would Ye Xinning bring up Xia He at this time? "No, what's wrong?"
"Really not? Mom, think about it carefully."
"Really, no. I personally appointed the person in charge of this project from the very beginning. Xia He has never been involved in this project."
"So, Xia He wasn't the one handling the funding application?"
"no."
If it's not Xia He, then we can rule out a few possibilities.
"Okay, I understand."
Why would you suspect Xia He?
"I will tell you in detail why I suspect Xia He after you are safe and sound, Mom. I haven't found out yet."
Ye Rouxin looked at Ye Xinning and understood why she said it so solemnly.
"When you asked me last time if Xia He could leave the Ye Group, you weren't joking, were you serious?"
"Yes, I'm serious."
Ye Rouxin fell silent.
Xia He has been with the Ye Group for many years, and has helped her countless times during that time. Through this interaction and cooperation, she has developed unconditional trust in Xia He. And now, what Ye Xinning is saying...
If Xia He really has a problem...
