Chapter 107: Each Has Their Own Little Schemes

Everyone present is a businessperson; no one is a fool.

If they sign and do not cooperate with Top Sheng, then their only remaining partner is Sheng Yukai; a monopoly benefits no one.

"I'm leaving too."

"Let's all go. This is their internal feud, and they're using everyone else as cannon fodder."

Before long, everyone had left.

……

Securities Regulatory Commission Investigation Room.

Two staff members sat behind a desk, their faces full of solemnity.

The young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses glanced at Yingzi and pushed a document directly over: "Sign."

Yingzi took it, looked, and was so angry she laughed!

"Not signing."

After saying this, she pushed the document back and leaned against the back of the chair to close her eyes and rest.

The content on the document was practically equivalent to a confession; whoever signed it would be a fool.

"Slap!"

Gold-rimmed glasses slammed a palm onto the table: "Ying Zi, be honest. You've already reached this point, and you're still acting tough? Don't think that just because you don't sign, nothing will happen. Even if you don't sign, we will still investigate your issues thoroughly."

Yingzi didn't even lift her eyelids: "Go ahead and investigate. Our company is compliant and law-abiding; you can investigate as you please."

"Fine, you just wait for me."

Gold-rimmed glasses stormed out in a rage.

The slightly older woman said quickly: "Don't go head-to-head with him. He is our newly appointed director. A new official applies three fires; be careful he doesn't make you his first target!"

"Thank you."

The woman then went out as well. Shi Youxuan opened her eyes, her large eyes blinking; she knew trouble had come to provoke her on its own.

From the moment she saw Gold-rimmed glasses, Yingzi knew who was causing trouble behind the scenes!

Gold-rimmed glasses was a former suitor of Shi Yuke and had been to the Shi Family more than once. Shi Youxuan recognized him the first moment she saw him.

Shi Yucheng had actually quite liked this young man at the time, but Shi Yuke had always looked down on the Securities Regulatory Commission as a "clear-water yamen" (a low-profit government office), so she had always kept him as a backup.

She just hadn't expected that he would actually be put to use this time.

Gold-rimmed glasses came out of the interrogation room and called Shi Yuke to report the situation here. Shi Yuke had long anticipated that Yingzi wouldn't sign, so she had told Gold-rimmed glasses to intimidate her.

Not signing was fine, as long as she didn't oppose the Sheng Family in the future!

……

Ginza top-floor office area.

Jian Yining was pacing back and forth in the large room, wringing his hands in anxiety, repeating incessantly: "What to do? It's already dark and they won't let her out, and they won't let me see her, what to do..."

Yun Zhe Hao protested: "Can you sit down and rest for a while? Stop pacing; you're making me dizzy."

Jian Yining said: "If you can immediately come up with a way to get Yingzi out, I promise not to pace, and I won't even appear in front of you, how about that?"

Isn't that just nonsense?

If they had a way, they would have done it long ago; they wouldn't be sitting here worrying in vain.

Almost every phone call that could be made had been made, and every connection that could be used had been used, but that person in charge at the Securities Regulatory Commission was completely immovable, saying the person was currently under investigation and would not be released until there was a result.

Jian Yining was frantic: "How long are they going to investigate, huh? When will Yingzi be released? What evidence do they have to arrest people indiscriminately, huh? On what grounds, on what grounds?"

The person who usually never lost his temper was now ready to ignite at a touch; he was self-combusting even without anyone lighting a fire!

Sheng Hanyu stood up: "I'm going to the Securities Regulatory Commission."

"I'll go with you."

Jian Yining followed to catch up.

Sheng Hanyu glanced at him: "No need. You just wait here for news; I'll go myself."

"No, Yingzi's business is my business; I'm not at ease with you going alone..."

Before Jian Yining could finish, he was pinned down by Yun Zhe Hao and Sheng Zerong, one on each side.

The two of them forcibly pressed him into the sofa to sit.

Yun Zhe Hao: "You wait here and don't go along to cause trouble. Are you worried that Hanyu will run off with Yingzi?"

Sheng Zerong was much gentler, patiently explaining to him: "My big brother has his own methods. He doesn't like others following him when he does things; he wouldn't even take the two of us..."

……

It was pitch black by the time Sheng Hanyu arrived downstairs at the Securities Regulatory Commission.

The staff in the office building had all finished work; every window was pitch black, and only the guard room still had its lights on.

He circled the building once, then climbed up along a drainpipe, agile as a monkey.

This was a blind spot for surveillance; the cameras couldn't catch him.

There was a window on the third floor that wasn't closed; Sheng Hanyu nimbly slipped through the window—success!

This was his "method."

When he was young, because he was mischievous, Sheng Hanyu was often locked up by his grandfather. Every time, he had a way to run out, and over time, he practiced this "skill."

Of course, he couldn't bring Jian Yining along.

The aloof Sheng Hanyu was actually using this method to save someone; if they knew, he would be teased for a lifetime!

Climbing through the window led into a restroom, but there was no one there now.

He pushed the door open and went straight to the fourth floor. Sheng Hanyu had already investigated before coming; the fourth floor was the investigation room. If it were official business, there would definitely be guards at the door.

But if the people here had been bribed and exploited, there probably wouldn't be any guards.

After all, this kind of thing couldn't see the light of day, so the fewer people who knew, the better!

There was indeed no one outside the interrogation room, and the key was actually hanging on the door.

He opened the door and went in; Yingzi was curled up in the corner, asleep.

She was hugging her knees, looking like a tiny little ball, just like a cat!

Moonlight poured in and shone on her, and for a moment, Sheng Hanyu was actually a bit dazed, dazed into feeling that this was the lost Shi Youxuan.

It was too similar, especially the posture she was sleeping in; it was exactly the same.

Shi Youxuan always liked to curl up in a corner or in a closet, just like a cat.

He walked over and patted her shoulder: "Stop sleeping, come with me."

"Annoying—"

Yingzi swatted his hand away with a coquettish pout, but immediately realized something was wrong!

She stood up abruptly from the floor, her head nearly hitting Sheng Hanyu's chin.

Subconsciously, she wanted to shout: "Help—"

Just as she shouted one word, Sheng Hanyu was quick-eyed and fast-handed; he pulled her into his arms and covered her mouth: "Don't shout, it's me."

Yingzi looked at him with wide, terrified eyes, yet there was not much expression on her face; Sheng Hanyu also looked at her suspiciously, their eyes meeting, in close contact.

The more she looked, the more flustered Yingzi became, her back soaked through with sweat.

The more he looked, the more Sheng Hanyu felt that there was something wrong with Yingzi; her eyes told him that she was very nervous.

Yet the expression on her face looked like she had facial paralysis; if she were someone skilled at hiding emotions, it would absolutely not be like this.

Her gaze and facial expression were too uncoordinated, so uncoordinated that it was as if there were a mask on her face... A flash of inspiration struck Sheng Hanyu's mind, and just as this thought emerged, he was suddenly hit heavily on the foot, the pain making him clench his teeth tightly.

Yingzi's slender Spring Shoes heel stomped hard onto his foot; Sheng Hanyu loosened his grip in pain, and she took the opportunity to break free from his embrace, pull open the door, and run away, as panicked as a startled little deer.

Sheng Hanyu returned along the original path.

Shi Youxuan ran out from the main gate and didn't stop until she had run very far.

No one was chasing her from behind, including Sheng Hanyu; she breathed a sigh of relief, so she stopped running and walked slowly, thinking of a way.

Why did he come?

No matter how she thought about it, Shi Youxuan couldn't figure it out; if he had come to save her, there was no one else, only he himself had suddenly appeared in the interrogation room, as if he had fallen from the sky; it was too sudden.

Nothing good ever falls from the sky; she had already thought of a plan to escape smoothly.

And now, it had all been messed up.

Sheng Hanyu's sudden appearance not only messed up her plan but also almost saw through her identity, nearly scaring the soul out of Shi Youxuan.

Where to go now?
