Foreign exchange bank office.
Lin Yuanzhi was looking at the account book anxiously when suddenly the door slammed. He looked up and saw Qian Meilin walking in leisurely. Lin Yuanzhi quickly tidied up the table and put on a flattering smile.
However, Qian Meilin looked arrogant and didn't even glance at him when she entered his office.
After she walked to the sofa for entertaining guests and sat down, she looked up at Lin Yuanzhi lazily and said, "You are such a busy man. I'm afraid you don't even know that something happened outside?"
Lin Yuanzhi felt a little upset when he saw Qian Meilin. His wife was increasingly not taking him seriously. But he still needed help from the Qian family, so he could only be humble and submissive.
Lin Yuanzhi: "I'm not a busy man. It's just that my house is empty. My son is abroad and you're not home all the time. It's lonely and uncomfortable. Are you still angry with me? It's not good to live with your parents all the time. Come home with me today."
"Heh..." Qian Meilin sneered, "I live well at my parents' place. I have people who care about me and take care of me. I don't have to suffer from anger all day long. I feel very comfortable. Going home? That's my home!"
Some time ago, Qian Meilin had a big quarrel with Lin Yuanzhi because she accidentally saw him giving money to Zhao Jiabao. She could turn a blind eye and tolerate the existence of Lin Yuanzhi's son outside, but it did not mean that she allowed Lin Yuanzhi to spend money on him.
Qian Meilin didn't know until she checked, and she was shocked. Over the past few years, Lin Yuanzhi had been secretly giving Zhao Jiabao money every month, tens of thousands of dollars!
Qian Meilin was immediately furious. She was the one who took care of everything at home and outside, including all the expenses, including her son's overseas study expenses. Even Lin Yuanzhi's ability to become the president of this small bank was all supported by the Qian family's financial support.
As a result, Lin Yuanzhi, this scoundrel, actually used her family's money to support that son outside!
Qian Meilin was so angry that she didn't want to see him anymore, so she packed up her things and went back to her parents' home, where she has been living for nearly two months.
This time she suddenly came to see Lin Yuanzhi, not because she had calmed down, but because she heard that Zhao Jiabao had committed a crime and was taken to the Public Security Bureau. It was said that he would most likely go to jail, so she came specifically to see Lin Yuanzhi's joke.
But...looking at him, it seems like he hasn't received the message yet.
Qian Meilin gave a strange smile and said, "Since it's not easy for you, I won't say any more."
When Lin Yuanzhi heard this, he just smiled and wanted to continue the reconciliation, but he heard Qian Meilin continue: "Look at you, you spent so much money to support your useless son, but in the end he ended up in jail and all the money was wasted. I feel ashamed for you."
Lin Yuanzhi's face froze, and he asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Qian Meilin pretended to be surprised and said, "You don't know yet? Zhao Jiabao was arrested and taken to the Public Security Bureau two days ago. I heard that he made a serious mistake and will inevitably go to jail."
"Take him to the Public Security Bureau?!" Lin Yuanzhi said in disbelief, "How is that possible? Jiabao, how could Jiabao...doesn't the Zhao family care about him?"
Qian Meilin sneered contemptuously and said, "Given his condition, I find it strange that the Zhao family tolerated him for so many years! Anyway, I don't think the Zhao family will intervene this time. Your precious son has already been in jail for two days and two nights."
Lin Yuanzhi stood up suddenly, looking uneasy.
He turned around anxiously and said, "Meilin, I'm going to go see Jiabao first, and I'll pick you up later. After all, Jiabao is still a child. Although he likes to play, he's not guilty of this!"
Qian Meilin snorted disdainfully and said, "If you want to go, how can I stop you? In your eyes, we are not as important as the dead Zhao Qinglan. You even treat the prodigal son she left behind as a treasure!"
"Meilin..." Lin Yuanzhi was anxious and didn't care about Qian Meilin's sour words. He just said a few perfunctorily, "I won't care about Jiabao anymore after he gets married and has a career. In my heart, our little family is the most important."
After saying this, he left the office in a hurry.
Qian Meilin, who was left alone in the office, appeared to be indifferent, but after Lin Yuanzhi left, she was still furious and her face turned blue.
She stood up and walked to Lin Yuanzhi's desk, picked up the documents on his desk and started throwing and hitting them to vent her anger.
"You heartless bastard! I've given so much for you, but you still only have Zhao Qinglan in your heart! If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have married you!"
She let out a violent outburst, throwing the documents everywhere, then stopped panting.
Just as Qian Meilin lowered her head to tidy up her slightly messy hair and was about to leave, her eyes suddenly swept across a document on the desk and froze for a moment.
This was a document that was pressed at the bottom. Qian Meilin threw and dropped it just now, causing the document to be exposed.
It was an account book, and the open page was displayed in front of Qian Meilin, indicating that the owner of the office who had just left happened to see this page.
Qian Meilin's eyes rolled, and she thought that Lin Yuanzhi had been coming to her parents every now and then to ask for deposits and investments recently. It seemed that the bank's performance was about to decline.
Out of curiosity, she picked up the account book and flipped through it casually.
Qian Meilin is an accountant. She is straightforward and efficient, and her accounting skills are also very impressive.
Just flipping the page casually, Qian Meilin's eyes slowly froze.
Her expression gradually changed from casual to cautious, and the speed of turning the pages went from fast to slow, and then suddenly became fast again.
Finally, she slammed the account book down, her face livid as she uttered through her teeth: "Lin! Yuan! Zhi! You are really great!"

On the other hand, Lin Yuanzhi hurried to Zhao's house, not knowing what his wife, who he had forgotten in the office, had discovered.
He was thinking about Zhao Jiabao so much that he didn't even bother with courtesy when he arrived at the Zhao family's house. He knocked on the door anxiously and shouted, "Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao, are you there? I'm Yuanzhi!"
After a while, the door opened and the family's nanny, Aunt Zhang, came out. She looked Lin Yuanzhi up and down and said unhappily, "Mr. Lin, don't knock so loudly. The old man and the old lady are old and can't stand such noise."
The Zhao family's two elders disliked Lin Yuanzhi and never let him visit them, so naturally, Mother Zhang didn't have a good attitude towards him either.
Lin Yuanzhi hesitated for a moment, and had to say, "I have something urgent to do and need to find Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao. By the way, where is Jiabao? Where is he?"
Then he noticed that when Zhang's mother heard Zhao Jiabao's name, a look of disdain appeared on her face.
Lin Yuanzhi's heart tightened, thinking, Jiabao's situation in the Zhao family has become so pitiful?
Mrs. Zhang: "Mr. Lin, you came at an unfortunate time. The old man and the old lady are out at the moment and are not at home."
Lin Yuanzhi asked hurriedly: "Did you go to the police station to pick up Jiabao? Is Jiabao there?"
Mother Zhang paused for a moment, then looked at Lin Yuanzhi with a strange look and said, "Mr. Lin, you still don't know what Zhao Jiabao has done wrong, right? No, he is no longer a member of the Zhao family, and his surname should not be Zhao."
Lin Yuanzhi suddenly felt absurd: "No matter what he did, why did he have to do this? When did Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao become so cruel? It's fine if they hate me, but why don't they care about Qinglan's son, their grandson? They even want to kick him out of the house!"
Lin Yuanzhi became more and more angry as he spoke. Seeing that Zhang's mother still wanted to say something, he didn't want to listen anymore. He waved his hand and turned away angrily.
If the Zhao family doesn't care about Jiabao, then he will! Jiabao is his and Qinglan's child, the treasure that Qinglan left for him in this world, and he will not sit idly by no matter what!
Mother Zhang looked at Lin Yuanzhi's angry back as he walked away, shaking her head and saying, "Why are you so excited? You adopted a fake son and you don't even want to listen to my explanation."
After leaving, Lin Yuanzhi went directly to the Public Security Bureau, where he finally met Zhao Jiabao.
The two were separated by some distance. As soon as Zhao Jiabao saw Lin Yuanzhi's concerned look, he burst into tears, calling him daddy and complaining.
Lin Yuanzhi saw that Zhao Jiabao, whom he had not seen for only a week, had become so thin that he was almost unrecognizable. He looked decadent and cowardly, as if he had suffered a lot of torture.
He was furious and said to Zhao Jiabao, "Jiabao, just be patient and wait for Dad. Dad will definitely find the best lawyer for you and get you out as soon as possible!"
The young policeman standing guard at the side could not help but remain speechless.
Zhao Jiabao was deeply moved: "Dad...you are my real dad!"
Lin Yuanzhi was also moved and said, "Silly child, if I'm not your biological father, then who is? Don't worry, the Zhao family can be cruel and ignore you, but I definitely won't!"
Zhao Jiabao was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Lin Yuanzhi probably didn't know that he was impersonating his identity and still thought he was his biological son.
He felt a little guilty, but he still clung to this only life-saving straw and refused to let go.
"Dad, you're all I have now, you have to help me! I really can't stay here any longer, I can't eat or sleep well every day, and there are so many bad people around!"
"Okay, okay!" Lin Yuanzhi said distressedly, "Dad will go find someone right now to pick you up as soon as possible. Just bear with it for two more days!"
The meeting time was over and Zhao Jiabao was taken back.
On the way to escort Lin Yuanzhi out, the young police officer couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Mr. Lin, we have already investigated Zhao Jiabao's crime very clearly. We have both witnesses and evidence. It is good to pamper children, but it is not good to spoil them blindly."
Lin Yuanzhi said coldly: "Comrade Public Security, Jiabao has a simple personality and is easily influenced by others. I don't know what he did, but I can be sure that he must have been instigated or framed. I will ask a lawyer to help deal with the following matters. Please handle the case according to the law and don't deliberately target him."
My goodness, this guy has no idea what his son has done wrong?
The young policeman was speechless.
He was speechless for a while, and finally said: "Mr. Lin, you should first understand how your son bought the money to hurt people."
After saying that, the young policeman turned around and went back to the Public Security Bureau.
After hearing what he said, Lin Yuanzhi stood there in a daze.
Buying a weapon to hurt someone? How could Jiabao do such a thing?
