Chapter 31: Quickly Wearing and Falling in Love with the Dark CEO (Thirteen)
"You want to impress me with family affection? Don't be naive, Lin Yuanshan." Lin Yehan's voice was icy cold, and there was no warmth in his eyes. "You always want benefits. Family affection is worthless to you."
The atmosphere at the negotiation table instantly dropped to freezing point. I clenched my fists nervously, and my palms were full of sweat. Lin Yuanshan's face was livid, but he didn't get angry. He just looked at Lin Yehan meaningfully, then stood up and left the meeting room.
"Yehan, are you okay?" I asked worriedly. Lin Yehan rubbed his brows tiredly, reached out and held me in his arms, "Don't worry, I'm fine. This battle has just begun, and I will not give up easily. I have children and a family now. I am your lover and the father of your children." His tone was firm, and his eyes were full of confidence.
In order to fight back, Lin Yehan and I made a careful plan. We decided to take the initiative and expose the true identity of the "mysterious man" and Su Ran before they took action. Although Mr. Lin was old, he was still very skilled. He used his connections and resources accumulated over the years to secretly help us collect evidence.
I used my assistant's identity to pay close attention to the company's internal movements, trying to find Su Ran's flaws. Hard work pays off. I accidentally discovered that Su Ran often contacted an unfamiliar number without Lin Yehan's knowledge, and the content of each call was very secretive. My intuition told me that this person might be the "mysterious person" who had been hiding behind the scenes and controlling everything.
I told Lin Yehan about Su Ran's suspicious call records, and he immediately arranged for someone to investigate the number. It turned out that the user of this number was very cunning. He used an Internet phone every time he called, and the address kept changing, making it difficult to track. But the net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it. Just when we were at a loss, good news came from Master Lin. He found the true identity of the "mysterious man".
It turns out that the "mysterious man" is actually Lin Yehan's half brother. He was kidnapped in an accident and lived away from home for many years. He only recently learned about his life experience. He then held a grudge and wanted to take revenge on the Lin family and take away everything that belonged to Lin Yehan.
The truth is out, and we decide to close the net and catch the "mysterious man" and Su Ran in one fell swoop. Lin Yehan deliberately spread the news that he had already obtained evidence of the "mysterious man"'s crime and was ready to summon all members of the family. As the richest family in Lanken City, the Lin family controls 50% of the commercial properties in the city.
To have the status today, it is essential to have the unity of the family. After Ye Han's adoptive father who is also his cousin handed the group over to him, he became the head of the Lin family. Now if someone wants to harm the head of the family, the members of the Lin family will naturally not agree. After all, they are of the same blood. If anything happens to Lin Yehan, the Lin family will definitely suffer a great loss. There are many people who can do business, but few business geniuses.
The mysterious man panicked when he learned that his plan had failed. He tried to escape from Lanken City, but was caught by the police who had already laid a dragnet. Su Ran also failed to escape the punishment of the law. She was arrested by the police for suspected commercial espionage and embezzlement of public funds.
I will never forget the resentful look in Su Ran's eyes when she was taken away by the police. She glared at me fiercely, as if she wanted to tear me apart, and kept muttering: "Feng Ziang, just wait for me, I won't let you go!"
I didn't take her threat seriously, but I knew her family didn't have enough money to save her. I also believed that justice would eventually triumph over evil, and the love between Lin Yehan and I would become more steadfast after going through all the trials and tribulations.
Su Ran eventually paid the price for what she did. Watching her being taken away by the police, I felt no pleasure, only endless sighs. The business world is like a battlefield. Some people do whatever it takes for profit, while others stick to their bottom line. As for me, I just want to keep my heart and protect the people I love.
The Lin Group survived this crisis, and everything seemed to have returned to normal. The mystery of Lin Yehan's life was also made public, and the Lin family was filled with guilt and love for this eldest son who was living away from home. Grandpa Lin even held Lin Yehan's hand, tears streaming down his face, and kept saying, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."
I know that for Lin Yehan, this is the ending he really wants. What he needs is not power and status, but the recognition and love of his family.
Lin Yehan's biological father saw that his plan had failed and didn't want to fight for the family property with his other son anymore. But deep down, I really didn't like this old guy anymore because he gave Lin Yehan a half-brother. But he is Yehan's father after all. Seeing the scene of him reuniting with his family, I couldn't help but get teary-eyed and I was really happy for him.
After the storm subsided, Lin Yehan specially held a celebration banquet in the company to thank all employees for their dedication and hard work. After the banquet, he kept me alone.
"Zi'ang, thank you." His deep eyes flickered with emotions that I couldn't understand.
I felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, so I smiled casually and said, "Why thank me? I didn't do anything."
"No, you did a lot." He took my hand, his tone serious and firm, "If you hadn't discovered Su Ran's abnormality, if you hadn't reminded me again and again, maybe I would still be kept in the dark, and the consequences would be disastrous."
"I just did what I was supposed to do." I lowered my head, not daring to look him in the eye.
His hand gently lifted my chin and forced me to look him in the eye: "Zi'ang, you know what? You are braver and smarter than I thought."
His eyes were so hot that I felt my cheeks starting to heat up and my heartbeat started to speed up uncontrollably.
"No way..." I tried to explain in panic, but he pulled me into his arms.
"Zi'ang, I like you." His voice was low and gentle, as if he was making a promise to me, and he kissed me directly in front of everyone.
I was stunned, forgot to struggle, and let him hold me tightly. At this moment, it seemed that only his warm embrace and strong heartbeat were left in my world.
The company's annual meeting arrived as scheduled. Lin Yehan changed his usual cold attitude and gave a touching speech on the stage, thanking everyone for their support. Then, he changed the subject and turned his gaze in the direction of me.
"Finally, I want to thank someone. It was she who made me believe in love and understand what is the most precious thing in life." His eyes were burning and affectionate. "Feng Ziang, he is my lover. We are both men. He is also my husband and the father of my child."
The sudden confession caught me off guard. I stared at him blankly, my mind going blank. There was thunderous applause and cheers from the audience, and my colleagues were all cheering me to kiss him.
I took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in my heart, raised my head, met his expectant gaze, and nodded gently.
"I do."
At that moment, his face lit up with a brilliant smile, brighter than the stars in the night sky. He walked down the stage, knelt on one knee, and put an exquisite diamond ring on my finger.
Happiness came so suddenly that I felt like I was dreaming.
However, happiness is always short-lived. Just when everyone was immersed in joy, Lin Yehan's assistant hurriedly walked up to him and whispered a few words. Lin Yehan's face instantly became solemn, and he hurriedly left the table, leaving the guests full of doubts.
Feeling uneasy, I followed him to his office. I saw that he was holding a letter in his hand and his face was terribly gloomy.
"What's wrong?" I asked worriedly.
He took a deep breath and handed the letter to me: "Read it yourself."
I took the letter, opened it, and my face turned pale. There was only one sentence in the letter:
"Want to know the cause of your mother's death? Come to xxxxx and I'll tell you the truth."
My mother has been dead for many years and I have never known the cause of her death. Now, this letter suddenly appeared and mentioned
The word "truth". How can I not feel fear?
Who sent this letter? What is the "truth" he mentioned?
