Ye Xinning's hand, which was at her side, froze, her body stiffened, and she became tense instantly. Even her voice trembled without her noticing.
"Aunt Wen, do you think she might not be carrying Shen Lin's child?"
Aunt Wen took out a stack of materials from her bag and handed them to Ye Xinning, saying, "Miss, please take a look."
Ye Xinning took the materials from Wen Yu's hand, puzzled. "What are these?"
"You'll see when you see it."
Ye Xinning flipped through the documents, looking at each one one by one. These were all reports from every inspection Jiang An had conducted since leaving Nancheng.
What Ye Xinning found strange was that the reports here were not from the same hospital.
"Miss, you've noticed something's wrong, haven't you?"
Ye Xinning pursed her lips, but she roughly understood what Aunt Wen meant.
"Did Jiang An secretly go to another hospital for a checkup without telling Shen Lin?"
“Yes.” Aunt Wen pointed to the frequency on the report. “And what’s really strange is that Jiang An only goes for checkups when the doctor arranged by President Shen isn’t around.”
Ye Xinning lowered her head, her mind racing.
After seeing Jiang An off, Shen Lin arranged for a doctor to conduct a paternity test, but Jiang An secretly went to the doctor for a separate examination.
Could it be true, as Aunt Wen said, that the child in Jiang An's belly is not Shen Lin's? But if the child is not Shen Lin's, why would Jiang An lie? Why would Shen Lin take responsibility for Jiang An and arrange for her to stay at the riverside villa after she became pregnant?
Ye Xinning couldn't understand these questions. These matters were like a huge mystery that troubled her, and she couldn't think of a solution.
"Aunt Wen, is there any way to get a paternity test done for the child in Jiang An's belly?"
Wen Yu shook his head and said truthfully, "It's quite difficult at the moment. Jiang An is very wary, and she's even wary of President Shen's people. It's very difficult for us to operate secretly."
Ye Xinning rubbed her temples, trying to relieve her fatigue while thinking about whether there was a better way to solve the problem.
"Miss, I think..."
Wen Yu spoke during her silence.
Ye Xinning nodded, "Aunt Wen, please feel free to say whatever you want to say."
"I think if Miss wants to know the details of this matter, she might as well have a good talk with Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen is the person involved, so starting with him is actually the simplest way."
“I understand the reasoning, but things between me and Shen Lin are not something that can be explained in just a few words.”
"Could it be that sometimes Miss is overcomplicating things, which is why she has these worries?"
Ye Xinning pursed her lips. "Maybe."
"Then why not give it a try?"
Ye Xinning thought carefully about what Wen Yu said and felt that every sentence made sense.
Yes, Shen Lin is the most important person. No matter what, she only cares about Shen Lin. So why not start with Shen Lin directly?
Having thought this through, Ye Xin made up his mind, "Okay, I'll give it a try."
Try asking Shen Lin, or rather, try to trust Shen Lin just once.
After discussing Jiang An's matter, Wen Yu asked Ye Xinning about the purpose of calling her back this time.
"Does Miss have any specific thoughts on what she mentioned on the phone earlier?"
Mentioning this matter, Ye Xinning's expression became serious and solemn. "Aunt Wen, I want to know what else happened to me during the time I was imprisoned and deprived of my freedom by Huo Yanzhi."
Speaking of this matter, Wen Yu's expression was full of heartache for Ye Xinning, "If we start investigating these things again, I'm worried that it will cause further harm to Miss."
After all, given what happened back then, if Miss hadn't stopped her, she would have almost perished together with the two Huo brothers.
Ye Xinning clenched her hands tightly, her fingertips turning white, trying her best to control herself so as not to lose control of her emotions.
If she could, she would never want to think about what happened back then again.
That was the first day after Shen Lin went missing. She went back to the Ye family to ask her mother to help her find Shen Lin, but her mother was not home, and only Huo Yanzhi was at home.
She already disliked Huo Yanzhi a lot at that time. When she saw him, she didn't say a word and turned to leave.
Huo Yanzhi held her hand, preventing her from leaving.
In a fit of rage, she slapped Huo Yanzhi and told him everything about her and Shen Lin, telling him to stay away from her.
It was this behavior that angered Huo Yanzhi. As soon as she left the Ye family, Huo Yanzhi drove up to her and took her to the basement of his villa outside the city.
There, Ye Xinning spent the darkest period of her life.
Huo Yanzhi deprived her of her freedom, had people watch over her, and wouldn't let her leave that basement. Not only that, he would also talk to her every day with frightening things. He wouldn't let her contact anyone, leave, or mention Shen Lin.
She didn't want to be tormented by Huo Yanzhi like this, and thought about leaving every day.
At first, she begged the people watching her to let her go, but they were all Huo Yanzhi's men, so how could they possibly let her go?
Day after day, countless days passed, and she was still imprisoned by Huo Yanzhi. She was extremely worried about Shen Lin and just wanted to leave. She tried every possible way to leave, but instead of leaving, she encountered the biggest nightmare of her life.
Huo Yanzhi was away on a business trip and hadn't come for many days. Seeing that her people had bought alcohol to relax, and perhaps emboldened by the alcohol, those people actually set their sights on her...
Ye Xinning didn't want to think about the details that followed. Just mentioning it made her feel a chill run down her spine.
If Huo Yanzhi had arrived any later that day, Ye Xinning would have become the biggest joke in Nancheng.
If she hadn't still possessed some fighting skills to hold on until Huo Yanzhi arrived, Ye Xinning might not have existed in the world after that day.
She was traumatized by that incident and suffered from numerous psychological problems, including developing obsessive-compulsive disorder related to cleanliness.
Contact with strangers gives her an overwhelming sense of aversion, and she can't sleep alone in the dark. No matter what, she always has to leave a light on.
After that incident, Huo Yanzhi dared not let any men guard her anymore. He found many skilled women to watch over her 24 hours a day.
It was under such supervision that Huo Yanzhi discovered the scar on her wrist and the bracelet on her hand.
Huo Yanzhi was obsessive enough that he believed he loved her and could not accept that she had feelings for Shen Lin. So he took her to the hospital and had the doctor forcibly anesthetize her to remove the scar on her hand.
For so long, she had never thought much of it, assuming that Huo Yanzhi had only done that one thing at the hospital. But Mu Yinjing's words that day made her feel that there might be something she had overlooked.
"Aunt Wen, no matter what, I must find out."
