Ruan Yuan...
Shen Lin hadn't seen the name Ruan Yuan for a very, very long time, let alone met her.
Seeing Ruan Yuan's name suddenly appear in a project of the Ye Group makes Shen Lin think twice.
He called Wenzhu and instructed her to investigate why Ruan Yuan was involved in the Ye Group's projects.
After finishing these matters, Shen Lin got up and went back to his bedroom.
When he returned to the bedroom, Ye Xinning was already asleep. Seeing her furrowed brows even in her sleep, Chen Lin felt a pang of heartache. He leaned down and gently kissed Ye Xinning's forehead without disturbing her, then turned and went to the bathroom.
...
The following day, Ye Xinning went to apply to become Ye Rouxin's defense lawyer. Everything went smoothly, but when she came out, she unexpectedly ran into Huo Qijun.
This was the first time the two had met since Ye Rouxin's accident.
Looking at Huo Qijun's smiling face, Ye Xinning found it utterly ridiculous.
"My mother had an accident, but Chairman Huo doesn't seem sad at all?"
“I’m not sad because I believe your mother is innocent. It’s just a matter of time before she gets out.”
"Is that so?" Ye Xinning simply smiled.
Huo Qijun could tell what she was thinking from her cold and indifferent gaze.
"Are you doubting me?"
"Kenneth Fok, you better not let me find out that my mother's matter is related to you, otherwise, I will make you pay the price with all my might."
After saying that, Ye Xinning left without waiting for Huo Qijun to speak.
Huo Qijun stood there, watching Ye Xinning's departing figure, without making a move for a long time.
...
On the other side, Ye Xinning received a call from Shen Lin as soon as she got into the car, asking where she was.
"Just came out of the courthouse."
"Have the defense lawyers finished handling everything?"
Ye Xinning hummed in agreement, and then Chen Lin's voice came through the phone again, "I have something to tell you. I'll come to your law firm to pick you up later."
Is something you need to say? And why are you in such a hurry? Ye Xinning couldn't help but feel a little worried. "What's wrong? Did you find out anything?"
"Ruan Yuan is in your mother's project."
Ye Xinning was stunned.
It's been so long since I've heard the name Ruan Yuan. I remember the last time I saw Ruan Yuan was at a bar. Ruan Yuan deliberately came up to provoke me and got a beating from Shen Ting.
She wasn't a particularly important person; she only came into contact with him because he was Jiang An's friend. Later, she gradually forgot about him and never thought about him again.
"You don't need to come to the law firm to see me. I'll just come to your company."
Ye Xinning started the car and spoke to Shen Lin on the other end of the phone.
She needed to find out exactly what happened regarding Ruan Yuan, why Ruan Yuan was involved in her mother's affair, what role Ruan Yuan played in it, and so on. She needed to find answers to all these questions.
...
Half an hour later, Ye Xinning's car stopped in front of Shen's Group. This was her first time visiting Shen's Group since they got back together.
As luck would have it, Ye Xinning ran into Shen Yu coming out of the building just as she went in.
Upon seeing Ye Xinning, Shen Yu was clearly surprised. "Ningning's here."
Ye Xinning nodded and said, "Hello, Dad. I've come to see Shen Lin about something."
Shen Yu smiled at the sound of "Dad." "Okay, he should be in his office. Do you need me to take you up?"
Ye Xinning shook her head. "No need, Dad, go ahead and do your work. I can go up by myself."
Hearing her say that, Shen Yu didn't press the matter further, "Okay."
Ye Xinning bent down slightly, preparing to enter the elevator.
But Shen Yu called out to her at that moment.
"Ningning."
"Hmm." Ye Xinning turned to look at Shen Yu. "Is there anything Dad wants to tell me?"
“I’ve also taken note of your mother’s situation. Don’t be too stressed. Your mother won’t do anything illegal, and this matter will have a good ending.”
"Thank you, Dad."
"Go."
Ye Xinning nodded, turned and entered the elevator. She knew in her heart that Shen Yu's words were a heartwarming gesture, and she was very grateful for his concern.
Ye Xinning arrived at the entrance of the president's office. Wen Zhu walked over from a short distance away and said, "President's wife."
"Hello, Assistant Wen."
"Mr. Shen has a meeting that won't end for a while. Madam, please go inside and wait."
"good."
Wenzhu led her to sit on the sofa and then instructed someone to pour her coffee.
Ye Xinning waited for Shen Lin while drinking coffee. Not long after, in about ten minutes, Shen Lin finished his meeting, pushed open the door and came in, seeing Ye Xinning sitting on the sofa.
He walked straight over, bent down, and gently kissed Ye Xinning on the lips.
These past few days, he's been making these intimate gestures all the time. Ye Xinning was a little unaccustomed to it at first, but now she's basically gotten used to it.
"it's over?"
"Hmm, have you been waiting for a long time?"
Ye Xinning shook her head. "No, I just arrived a little while ago."
Seeing the unconcealed exhaustion on her face, Shen Lin felt a pang of heartache. "Are you very tired?"
"It's not that I'm tired, it's mainly that I'm worried."
Shen Lin could understand her feelings. "When I asked Wen Zhu to organize the project-related personnel, I found that Ruan Yuan was also among them. Ruan Yuan... has a special identity, so I asked Wen Zhu to investigate further."
Ye Xinning sat up straight and listened attentively to Shen Lin's words, "And then, did you find anything?"
"Ruan Yuan knows Xia He."
Ruan Yuan and Xia He know each other...
Ye Xinning frowned deeply, unable to connect these two people together at all.
Why do they know each other?
"Ruan Yuan is a well-known person in Beicheng, and she's quite capable. It's not surprising that Xia He knows her. After all, Xia He has worked with her mother for so many years, so it's not surprising that she would want to know people with status and ability."
"So, is it possible that Xia He and Ruan Yuan conspired together to scheme against my mother?"
There is no evidence yet.
Disappointment was clearly visible in Ye Xinning's eyes.
Shen Lin continued, "What can be proven now is that Mom did sign for that sum of money. What we need to find out now is the circumstances under which Mom signed it?"
After much thought, Ye Xinning realized that the only person who could get Ye Rouxin to sign her name so discreetly, while keeping the contents completely different from reality, was Xia He.
But the lack of evidence leaves us helpless.
"I understand. Is Ruan Yuan in Nancheng now?"
"I'll have someone keep an eye on Ruan Yuan, so you don't need to worry about things here. I'll let you know as soon as there's any news."
When talking about Ruan Yuan's many affairs, Ye Xinning couldn't help but think of Jiang An.
Where is Jiang An?
