Chapter 206 The one who tied the knot must untie it.
Su Ruan's eyes were hot and swollen, but she clenched her teeth tightly to prevent the tears from welling up.
Don't cry.
If you cry, you've truly lost.
That old man Yan Hongyi is probably waiting to see news of her breakdown and loss of control.
She lost her momentum, she lost the battle, and she also lost to that old Deng who was waiting to see her make a fool of herself!
She took a deep breath and forced herself to straighten her spine, like a bamboo that would rather break than bend.
Just then, my phone vibrated in my palm; there was a new WeChat message from Song Shengsheng.
[Ruan Ruan! The investigation into Mu Chuji is showing promising results; it's quite interesting.]
[Get on the plane first, call me back when you land, don't panic.]
Boarding the plane?
Su Ruan twitched the corner of her mouth and flicked it back.
The call was answered instantly.
"Ruan Ruan? Have you taken off yet?"
Song Shengsheng sounded somewhat surprised.
"I didn't make it."
Su Ruan's voice was hoarse.
"The visa application was blocked at the last minute by the highest level."
"What?!"
Song Shengsheng swore and immediately understood.
"That old man from the Yan family has such a long reach?"
"Um."
Su Ruan closed her eyes wearily.
What did you find?
Song Shengsheng immediately got to the point.
“I hired someone to hack into her call logs, email, and ride-hailing records using some technical means.”
"Mu Chuji is a low-ranking assistant in the president's office, but in the last three days, she has had two unusually frequent email exchanges, the recipient of which is the private secretary of the Yan family's old mansion."
"She made six phone calls to Yan Hongyi within a week, the longest of which lasted forty-three minutes."
Song Shengsheng paused, lowering her voice.
"It was the night before President Yan went missing."
"Around the time President Yan went to Zurich, she visited Jinyuan at least three times!"
Su Ruan's heart sank.
Her guess was almost confirmed.
She knew it!
I knew it was this wicked lotus that was causing trouble!
Mu Chuji, the transmigrator with a cheat code, revealed Yan Tingnan's trump card and plan to the old man in advance!
No wonder the old man could time it so precisely and defeat his enemy with a single move.
Song Shengsheng was furious on the other end of the phone.
"Ruanruan, what do we do now?"
Su Ruan stared at the display screen in the distance, where the boarding signal had stopped, and her eyes gradually turned cold.
"Sheng Sheng, keep an eye on things and tell me immediately if there's any new development."
"Okay, over there..."
She took a deep breath and forced her chaotic and anxious mind to start working.
"I'm fine."
Su Ruan's voice carried a forced sense of exhaustion.
"If I can't go back, so be it. I can still play games in China. That's it."
Before Song Shengsheng could say anything more, she hung up the call.
After hanging up the phone, the empty airport terminal felt even more deserted.
Su Ruan dragged her small carry-on suitcase, her steps unsteady as she walked towards the parking lot.
Her flight was canceled, her visa was blocked, and she couldn't even leave the country.
Yan Tingnan was thousands of miles away, and there was no news of him.
Back home, the old man, armed with both the indenture and Yan Tingnan's safety, used a two-pronged approach to drive her into a desperate situation.
The variable of Mu Chuji was like a pre-planted bomb, shattering all of her and Yan Tingnan's plans.
She believed that after awakening, she seized the initiative, changed her fate, and seduced the unattainable man in the original work, and once thought she could control the whole situation.
But it was only at this moment that she clearly realized how vulnerable her cleverness and foresight were.
Is signing that agreement the only option, gambling on the old man's vague and uncertain guarantee?
no.
Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that even if they sign, Old Deng will never let Yan Tingnan go.
Compromise will only lead both of them to utter ruin.
If we don't sign, what will Yan Tingnan do?
That old man is ruthless; what wouldn't he do?
Since the root of the problem lies in Mu Chuji's spoilers, the breakthrough can also be found by working through her!
Since this double-edged sword can hurt them, why can't it be used in reverse?
Could they even try to turn her against them?
However, Mu Chuji harbored deep hostility towards her, making cooperation almost impossible.
The success rate is pitifully low.
The one who tied the knot must untie it.
The predicament was caused by Mu Chuji's spoiler.
Therefore, the only way to break out of this predicament is to take a roundabout approach and start with Mu Chuji.
She couldn't fly to Zurich, but Mu Chuji was in China.
Let's take a gamble!
If you can't mess with the old man, can't you at least mess with this little Biluochun tea girl, Mu Chuji?
OK.
Old Deng cut off her flight, right?
Did they think this would keep her trapped in China and make her obediently sign that indenture?
dream!
Grandma just wouldn't believe it!
We can still overturn your chessboard domestically!
She'll go find Mu Chuji tomorrow!
She took a deep breath and pulled up her carry-on suitcase.
Yan Tingnan...
How is he doing in Zurich now?
Meanwhile, in Zurich at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Inside a highly confidential investigation room.
Yan Tingnan sat on the hardwood chair, his back straight, like a pine tree that could not bend under the weight of snow.
His face was expressionless, but a cold glint lurked deep in his eyes.
Even in such a predicament, he showed no sign of being disheveled.
The door was pushed open.
Lu Zhuo and He Sichen walked in quickly, followed by a local lawyer in a suit and tie.
"Old Yan!"
Lu Zhuo stepped forward, his brows furrowed.
Are you alright?
Yan Tingnan opened his eyes, his gaze clear and bright, showing no signs of fatigue.
"What could possibly happen in forty-eight hours?"
He Sichen handed over a cup of hot coffee, his handsome face covered with a layer of frost.
"The other party is making a big deal out of a trivial funding application process, which is clearly a deliberate attempt to delay the process."
"The allegations are fabricated, but the procedures were compliant. The other party exploited the complicated local legal process with the aim of wearing us down."
“I have contacted the best legal team, and as early as tomorrow afternoon, you and Jinghuai can have the restrictions temporarily lifted to leave the country.”
Yan Tingnan took the coffee but didn't drink it.
He knew, of course, that it was intentional.
The operation failed at the last minute.
Key core keys and some details of fund flows were leaked.
The key figure who was being recruited suddenly turned against them, and the funding channels were frozen in advance.
There must be something fishy going on inside.
Moreover, it is a ghost that has access to the most critical time points and key information.
"Have you found out?"
Yan Tingnan's voice was low and deep.
Lu Zhuo's face was grim.
"The key information and the timing of the operation were leaked."
"The other side retaliated at the perfect moment. Our people had just arrived when they were asked to cooperate with the investigation."
"You are being targeted and your communications have been cut off; this is also part of the plan."
Yan Tingnan lowered her eyes, looking at her clean and slender fingers.
Su Ruan's image appeared in my mind.
She must have been terrified after being out of contact for so long.
Just then, Lu Zhuo's phone vibrated.
He glanced at the screen, his expression changed slightly, and he looked at Yan Tingnan.
"It's the old man's phone call."
Yan Tingnan raised his eyes, a storm gathering deep within them, before returning to a calm, icy sea.
He reached out his hand.
Lu Zhuo handed over the phone.
Yan Tingnan pressed the answer button, put it to her ear, and didn't say anything.
"Tingnan, how are you adjusting to the weather in Zurich?"
"It's not as good as Jinyuan, it's a cesspool of smoke and filth."
Yan Hongyi chuckled softly.
"Young man, it's not a bad thing to suffer a little."
"Accept the loss, and stand firm when beaten."
Yan Tingnan remained silent, waiting for him to continue.
Aren't you curious?
Yan Hongyi changed the subject.
"How could you have lost such a meticulously planned scheme?"
"Don't you want to know who the mole is in your life?"
Yan Tingnan gripped her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white.
What are you trying to say?
Yan Hongyi said slowly and deliberately, "Let me guess, you suspect Jing Huai?"
"You suspect the elderly person who's been with you for over a decade?"
He paused, his tone playful.
Unfortunately, neither is true.
Yan Hongyi seemed quite satisfied with his silence, and slowly dropped the bombshell he had been planning.
"You are my good wife, Su Ruan."
