Perhaps it's time to have a good talk with Chen Xiaoyan. Li Jin returned home and saw the nanny playing with her daughter; the heartwarming scene gradually dispelled all her anxieties. When Nianjin saw her mother approaching, she excitedly stretched out her little hands, babbling for a hug.
A gentle smile appeared on Li Jin's face as she gently picked up her daughter and kissed her fair cheek. At that moment, the nanny spoke up somewhat nervously, "Madam, could I leave a little earlier today? My son has a day off from school, and I'd like to go home and cook him something nice."
Li Jin smiled and nodded, then took out 100 yuan from her bag and handed it to the nanny, saying, "Sister Wang, this money is for the child to buy food. It's not easy for the child to come back, so buy him some good food."
The nanny quickly declined, saying, "Madam, the salary you pay me is already very high. I can't accept this money."
"Sister Wang, this is for the child, please take it," Li Jin insisted. Seeing Li Jin's resolute attitude, the nanny's eyes reddened slightly, and she had no choice but to accept it, thanking her repeatedly, "Madam, you're so kind, I don't know how to repay you." Li Jin smiled and replied, "Sister Wang, you always take such good care of Nianjin, I'm so grateful to you. You should go back now, don't keep the child waiting."
After the nanny left, Li Jin fed her daughter some fruit and coaxed her to sleep. She then fell into deep thought, pondering how to talk to Chen Xiaoyan. After much deliberation, she decided to start by reminiscing about their past relationship, since they had once enjoyed a harmonious time together.
The next day, Li Jin arranged to meet Chen Xiaoyan at a quiet coffee shop. Chen Xiaoyan arrived late, dressed in fashionable clothes, with a hint of arrogance on her face. Upon seeing her, Li Jin smiled and stood up, inviting Chen Xiaoyan to sit down. Then, she said sincerely, "Xiaoyan, we've known each other for so long, let's be frank and open about some things today..." Chen Xiaoyan raised an eyebrow, looking at Li Jin with a half-smile, a hint of wariness in her eyes, quietly waiting for her to continue.
Li Jin took a deep breath, looked directly into Chen Xiaoyan's eyes, and slowly said, "Xiaoyan, I know you've always harbored resentment towards Gong Moze for abducting Lin Jianye, but do you really know the truth of the matter?"
Chen Xiaoyan sneered, turned her head away, and said disdainfully, "What's there not to know? The Liu family all told me that Gong Moze took Jianye away to settle a personal score. Jianye is just an ordinary person, what serious mistake could he have made?"
Li Jin shook his head slightly, his eyes full of regret: "Xiaoyan, you have been used by the Liu family. Lin Jianye is not an ordinary person at all; he is actually a spy. Gong Moze only arrested him in accordance with the law during the course of his mission. All of this was a scheme set up by the Liu family. They used your feelings for Lin Jianye to incite you to turn against me, thereby achieving their goal of striking at the Gong family."
Chen Xiaoyan's body trembled slightly, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure: "Don't make up stories here! How could Jianye be a spy? You're just making up lies to exonerate Gong Moze!"
Li Jin silently took out the documents provided by Snake Brother from his bag and gently pushed them in front of Chen Xiaoyan: "Take a look at these. These are some of the conclusive evidence of Lin Jianye's espionage activities. He secretly colluded with foreign forces and sold state secrets. These are irrefutable facts. Gong Moze arrested him out of a sense of responsibility to the country and the people, not because of what you think."
Chen Xiaoyan stared at the documents on the table, her hands trembling slightly. She bit her lip, falling silent, seemingly undergoing a fierce internal struggle. After a long while, she slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with pain and resolve: "Spies? Utterly laughable. You two are both ruthless people; you could even fabricate this kind of evidence. It seems you've put in a lot of effort!"
Seeing that Chen Xiaoyan was still so stubborn, Li Jin closed his eyes helplessly, his voice tinged with a sense of powerlessness: "Xiaoyan, how could I lie to you? We suffered together in the countryside, and I've never forgotten those days. I understand your deep feelings for Lin Jianye, but he really isn't worth you going to such lengths for him. You've already been used as a pawn by the Liu family; they're just using you to achieve their own ulterior motives."
Chen Xiaoyan sneered, "Is that so? So what if the Liu family used me as a pawn? So what if Jianye really was a spy? It doesn't change the fact that he was killed by Gong Moze!"
Li Jin looked at Chen Xiaoyan with a sincere and firm expression: "Xiaoyan, Lin Jianye has crossed the legal line. His actions have caused enormous harm to the country, and no one can cover this up. As a soldier, Gong Moze's duty is to safeguard the country's security and interests. If he turns a blind eye to espionage because of personal feelings, that would be a true dereliction of duty. Think about it calmly. Over the years, besides instilling hatred towards the Gong family in you, has the Liu family ever truly considered your needs?"
