Shen Lin's words were both ironic and self-mocking.
Ji Jianshen turned his head slightly to meet his gaze. "Chen Lin, what I said is true. If I wanted to, she wouldn't have gone back to Nancheng in the first place."
Shen Lin believed this, and it was precisely because he knew that Ji Jianshen was a very important person to Ye Xinning that he felt uncomfortable.
“But Shen Lin, even if Xin Ning returns to Nancheng, you still let her down. Now everything is the result of your own actions, so in the future, I hope you will not disturb her life anymore.”
"So, in what capacity are you saying these things to me now?"
"My identity is not important. What matters is that you and her are in the past."
After saying this, Ji Jianshen stood up.
Shen Lin left before him, his tone heavy, "Why target the Gu Group? Is it aimed at me, or is there another reason?"
"Why would I go through all this trouble to deal with you?"
"So, you have a grudge against my aunt's family?"
"Shen Lin, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do."
After saying this, Ji Jianshen quickly left and soon disappeared from sight.
Shen Lin sat in his seat, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
After a long while, he made a phone call.
The call was quickly connected, and Wenzhu's voice came from the other end, "President Shen."
"Check when Ji Jianshen came to Beicheng to develop his career. Also, check who Ji Jianshen mainly contacted before going to Beicheng."
"good."
After Shen Lin finished giving his instructions and hung up the phone, he thought about what Ji Jianshen had said and a guess formed in his mind.
When an idea comes to mind, Shen Lin's first reaction is to deny it. However, once a thought is formed, it cannot be changed.
If his guess is true...
Then we can get a reasonable explanation for why Ji Jianshen did all this.
Then his relationship with Ji Jianshen and Ye Xinning will become even more complicated.
Just thinking about it, Shen Lin clenched his fists. All he could do now was wait.
...
After Shen Lin asked Wen Zhu to investigate Ji Jianshen, Ji Jianshen became even more ruthless in his suppression of the Gu Group. The Gu Group suffered one incident after another, first the senior executives were investigated, and then the projects were summoned for talks.
Gu Shilin was extremely busy, with endless phone calls and meetings every day.
The fact that the Gu Group was in such a predicament finally alarmed Mu Mingwei.
"What's going on? Why are there so many problems? Have you found out who's behind this?"
In the Gu family's living room, Mu Mingwei asked Gu Shilin a question.
Gu Shilin shook his head and then nodded. "He's a very strange person. Our Gu Group has never offended him, but this person is single-mindedly trying to kill us."
Mu Mingwei asked, "Who?"
“One of them is named Ji Jianshen, from Beicheng,” Gu Shilin said truthfully.
Mu Mingwei narrowed her eyes, "Ji Jianshen, is it? I want to meet this guy and see who exactly is capable of driving the Gu Group to this point."
Mu Mingwei asked Gu Shilin to arrange a meeting with Ji Jianshen. Gu Shilin thought that Ji Jianshen wouldn't even see her, so he figured he definitely wouldn't see Mu Mingwei either.
To Gu Shilin's surprise, Ji Jianshen actually agreed to meet.
Gu Shilin drove Mu Mingwei to the meeting place. When they arrived, Ji Jianshen was already there, sitting alone by the sea with his back to them.
People were coming and going on the beach. Gu Shilin and Mu Mingwei walked over together. Mu Mingwei said, "Didn't he say that I should go alone? You wait here for me, I'll go and talk to him by myself."
Gu Shilin was somewhat uneasy. After all, seeing everything he had seen, Ji Jianshen was a very deep and mysterious person. He appeared out of nowhere and targeted the Gu family for no apparent reason.
"Mom, let me go with you," Gu Shilin said, still worried.
Mu Mingwei said, "Don't worry, there are so many people here, what could he possibly do to me?"
"Is it really possible?"
"OK."
Mu Mingwei patted Gu Shilin on the back and walked forward.
The further Mu Mingwei walked, the more curious she became about the person sitting there. As she got closer, looking at that young figure from behind, Mu Mingwei suddenly felt a sense of familiarity for some reason.
She shook her head, clutching the prayer beads in her hand. What was she thinking? How could she feel familiar with someone she had never met before?
Mu Mingwei walked closer and closer until she finally stood behind Ji Jianshen. "Are you Mr. Ji Jianshen?" she asked tentatively.
Ji Jianshen, who was sitting in front, did not move. Just as Mu Mingwei was about to speak again, the person in front suddenly turned around. It would have been better if he hadn't turned around, because when he did, the prayer beads in Mu Mingwei's hand were almost torn off.
She looked at the man in front of her, her expression filled with panic, fear, and disbelief.
Ji Jianshen looked at Mu Mingwei, taking in all her reactions.
Ji Jianshen smiled slightly, but his eyes were cold. Such a reaction was quite interesting.
"Mrs. Gu," he said, his tone ambiguous, his mood hard to discern.
Madam Gu...
This title, this face—all of this almost caused Mu Mingwei to lose her proud emotional control.
How can they look so alike...
Mu Mingwei gripped the prayer beads tightly with both hands. No, no, it must be just a coincidence, it must be just a coincidence.
Mu Mingwei kept telling herself not to overthink things, and only spoke after she had calmed down.
"Mr. Ji Jianshen? Hello, nice to meet you. I am Gu Shilin's mother."
"Mrs. Gu seems very nervous?" Ji Jianshen asked, his tone still as calm as ever.
Mu Mingwei hadn't expected the person in front of her to be so perceptive. She smiled and said, "Mr. Ji, you're joking. I just didn't expect that the person who was making things difficult for our Ye Group was such a young junior like you."
"Does Madam Gu think I'm making things difficult for her?"
"Mr. Ji, could you please tell us why you are making things difficult for our Ye Group?"
"Why?" Ji Jianshen asked as if he had heard a joke. He lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers, speaking softly and indifferently, "I just did what I wanted to do. Do I need so many reasons?"
"So, Mr. Ji, you're saying you're not going to show leniency?"
"Not prepared."
At this point in the conversation, Mu Mingwei understood Ji Jianshen's meaning.
"Since Mr. Ji is not prepared to let go, then pretend I never came here."
After saying that, Mu Mingwei prepared to turn around.
Ji Jianshen spoke up at this moment, "Madam Gu, over the years, have you ever dreamed of your deceased loved ones in the dead of night?"
Mu Mingwei froze. She turned around, her eyes wide with disbelief, biting her lip as she stared at Ji Jianshen.
"What do you mean?"
