Upon hearing Song Zhengchu's words, Ji Jianshen's expression instantly changed.
He looked at Song Zhengchu and asked, "Who is the man in the photo?"
"Qin Yongwang".
In Ji Jianshen's mind, this person was completely unfamiliar. Now, hearing Ji Jianshen mention this person, he thought of Gu Shilin, "So this person is Gu Shilin's biological father?"
Since Song Zhengchu had spoken to Ji Jianshen about these things, he had naturally intended not to hide anything.
"The photos Song Xiang gave me were of Mu Mingwei and Qin Yongwang when they were young. They were very close, and their relationship was so intimate that it was obvious without any need for speculation. The fact that Song Xiang gave me these photos probably means that Gu Shilin is Qin Yongwang and Mu Mingwei's child."
Ji Jianshen's hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched tightly together.
That makes sense.
Mu Mingwei deeply loved Qin Yongwang and married his father out of necessity. Even after marriage, she continued to have contact with Qin Yongwang, which led to the birth of Gu Shilin. After Gu Shilin was born, Mu Mingwei began to feel afraid and worried. So she first caused the death of his father and later told everyone that he had gone missing using a so-called accident.
In this way, no one would know about Gu Shilin's background. Not only that, Gu Shilin could also rightfully take over the Gu Group.
But what Mu Mingwei didn't expect was that Qin Yongwang would later get into trouble. Qin Yongwang's accident caused Mu Mingwei to collapse completely and fall into a cycle of revenge. She began to plot against Shen Lin, Ye Xinning, and Ye Rouxin to take revenge on Song Zhengchu.
In Mu Mingwei's view, it was Song Zhengchu who killed Qin Yongwang.
Thinking about these things, Ji Jianshen's gaze became even more profound.
"Did Uncle Song tell Xin Ning about these things?"
"I haven't told her yet; these things are too complicated."
Ji Jianshen remained silent for a long time before speaking, "Uncle Song, you should tell her. She has the right to know about this."
"I know, let's wait and see."
That's what Song Zhengchu said.
After a brief silence of a few seconds, he spoke, "By the way, we've been investigating Shen Lin too. You should know him better than I do, and know what kind of person he is. Instead of letting him investigate, why don't you go and tell him your identity and what you want to do? Perhaps doing so will make him stop and stop helping Gu Shilin."
Song Zhengchu said all this with Ji Jianshen's best interests at heart. He knew that Ji Jianshen was determined to take revenge, and Shen Lin, if unaware of the truth, would not have allowed Ji Jianshen to target the Gu family and Gu Shilin.
Ji Jianshen knew exactly what Song Zhengchu meant. His gaze fell into the distance, and after a long while, he opened his mouth and said, "Everyone has their own standpoint, and he is no exception."
...
After leaving the ward, Ye Xinning found a quiet, secluded spot outside to eat.
She wasn't in a hurry and ate slowly. Given the situation just now, they must have wanted her to go back slowly. Since that was the case, she should give them time to talk.
Zhou Yun stood beside her waiting for her to eat. Seeing that he was still standing, Ye Xinning said, "Sit down, let's talk here."
Zhou Yun felt embarrassed to sit down. "Please sit down, Miss. I'll just stand."
"It's alright, sit down. I happen to have a few questions I'd like to ask you."
Ye Xinning invited him repeatedly, and Zhou Yun could not refuse again, so he sat down opposite Ye Xinning.
"Miss, please speak."
"Did my father and Ji Jianshen maintain contact after NATO was established?"
"The gentleman rarely mentions this matter, only saying that Mr. Song has been of great help to him."
How much does my father know about Ji Jianshen's affairs?
"I know almost everything."
"Does my father know about my meeting with Ji Jianshen abroad back then?" Ye Xinning continued to ask.
Zhou Yun hadn't expected that this was the question she wanted to ask, and after stammering for a long time, she couldn't say anything.
Ye Xinning lowered her head and ate her rice absentmindedly. "Tell me. Since I asked, even if you don't tell me, I have ways to find out from other places."
After hesitating for a while, Zhou Yun finally spoke under Ye Xinning's questioning, "It was Mr. Song who asked you to take care of Miss. At the time, you were busy with things in Beicheng, but when you heard Mr. Song say that you need someone to accompany you, you went to find Miss without much hesitation."
Ye Xinning put down her cutlery, leaned back in her chair, and remained silent for a long time.
Zhou Yun reflected on whether she had said something wrong.
"Miss……"
"Zhou Yun, I have one last question: When I met Ji Jianshen again abroad, was it a coincidence, or was it premeditated?"
"It wouldn't be accurate to say it was premeditated, but it was no coincidence that you appeared there. You had been following me for several days before that, but I just didn't notice."
Ye Xinning loosened her clenched fist again, and she knew it.
I didn't think much of it when I didn't know about these things, but now that I do, everything seems suspicious.
She had just gone abroad because of her amnesia in Nancheng, and Ji Jianshen happened to be there.
Isn't all of this too much of a coincidence? It turns out that they all knew about it, and only she foolishly thought it was just a coincidence.
Ye Xinning kept her head down and remained silent for a long time.
Zhou Yun continued cautiously, "Miss, our master, apart from the most important thing of revenge, only has you in his heart. No matter what, he thinks of you."
Ye Xinning hummed in agreement, her attitude ambiguous. "I understand, Zhou Yun. Go ahead and do your own thing. Don't worry about me."
Zhou Yun moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but fearing that Ye Xinning would be annoyed, she shut her mouth and left.
Ye Xinning sat there alone, thinking about Ji Jianshen, her father, and the events that had happened recently. Her thoughts were heavy, and she didn't even notice that someone was standing behind her.
"Ji Jianshen seems to care about you quite a bit." A deep voice sounded from behind. Ye Xinning paused for a second, then turned around and saw Shen Lin standing not far away. It was evening, and she hadn't seen Shen Lin for most of the afternoon, so she thought he had left.
Whether he cares about me or not is none of your business.
After saying this coldly, Ye Xinning lowered her head and refused to look at Shen Lin.
Shen Lin was somewhat hurt by her cold attitude, but he still resolutely walked over and sat down opposite her.
"Does it have nothing to do with me? Don't forget, my name is still on the other half of your marriage certificate. Legally speaking, you are still my wife."
"How about I go back to Nancheng with you right now and get the divorce done, so you won't keep bringing it up all the time?"
