Chapter 111: Starting to Suspect

Several people at the meeting reached a consensus that Yingzi would come forward to make the deal with Shi Yuke.

After the meeting, Yingzi noticed someone following her. She turned around to see it was Sheng Hanyu, so she stopped and asked him, "I'm going to see Shi Yuke; are you going to follow me too?"

"Where are you living now?"

Shi Youxuan had been staying at a hotel for the past few days. Hearing his question, she blurted out, "What's it to you?"

"I've moved back, so you should go back and live there. It's not convenient for a young woman to always live outside." Sheng Hanyu walked away after saying this, as if he had only sought out Yingzi to say this one thing.

She stood frozen in place, not moving for a long time.

It wasn't until Jian Yining came over and asked her what was wrong that she repeated Sheng Hanyu's exact words to him.

Jian Yining said almost without hesitation, "What's there to consider? You should just move into my Villa. That place is quiet, and with his people there, the safety factor is high too."

She considered it for a while but still decided to move into her own Apartment. Although the incident last time hadn't caused her much impact, it had served as a reminder: it was better to stay away from Sheng Hanyu.

……

Yingzi and Shi Yuke met again at the same coffee shop where they had met last time.

Shi Yuke didn't waste any words; she took out a file bag and handed it to her: "The information is all inside. Take a look."

Yingzi took it and glanced at Shi Yuke: "You changed your mind pretty quickly. You must have been provoked by something, right?"

The two had only met yesterday, yet today Shi Yuke looked so haggard she seemed to have aged several years. The dark circles under her eyes were covered with thick makeup, yet a faint bluish tint remained.

If nothing had happened, she wouldn't have changed her mind so quickly.

Shi Yuke didn't say a word. She wouldn't tell Yingzi about the family matters, but the hatred in her heart for Bai Xue was already overflowing. This old hag was always working against her.

She was going to make her regret it until she cried.

After taking the information and glancing at it roughly, Yingzi knew it couldn't be fake.

So she asked Shi Yuke: "How much do you want to sell this for?"

"One hundred million."

One hundred million was acceptable; the price was reliable and not an exorbitant demand.

Yingzi was also very straightforward: "I'll give you one hundred and fifty million. One hundred million is for buying your things this time, and fifty million is the deposit for the next time." After saying this, she took out a check, scribbled the amount on it, and handed it to Shi Yuke.

Shi Yuke didn't say a word; she picked up the check and left.

To Shi Yuke, money wasn't the most important thing right now. What mattered most was that she could use this thing to anger that old hag to death.

Yesterday, when she moved into the Sheng Family with her luggage, the old hag wouldn't let her share a room with Sheng Yukai, but instead arranged for her to stay in the servant's quarters.

She even made her do servant's work, saying that a daughter-in-law had to adapt to the family's rules first. Wasn't that just looking for trouble for her, hoping she would voluntarily ask for a divorce and leave with nothing?

Shi Yuke was well aware of Bai Xue's petty nature.

That was why she sought out Yingzi—to give the Sheng Family a warning and take revenge in a different way!

Yingzi took the information back to Ginza and handed it to Sheng Hanyu.

Sheng Hanyu didn't look at the information but stared fixedly at Yingzi, making her feel flustered: "What are you looking at me for? I don't have flowers growing on my face."

"There's no expression on your face. Don't you think that's strange?" He actually asked what he was thinking in his heart.

Yingzi stepped back unconsciously, feeling guilty but putting on a brave front: "This, what's so strange about this? You have an ice-cold face yourself, yet you complain about others having no expression? Do you understand the concept of not showing one's emotions? If I wore all my feelings on my face for everyone to see, how would I survive in Jiangzhou..."

She spoke with great conviction, and it sounded quite plausible.

Just as she was about to leave after speaking, Sheng Hanyu added another line: "You seem very familiar with Shi Yuke?"

"Not familiar. I already said I ran into her at the hospital, and that's why she sought me out." Yingzi's mind raced, looking for an excuse to keep Sheng Hanyu from being suspicious: "If the person she ran into that day had been you, she would have wanted to cooperate with you too."

Sheng Hanyu maintained the same tone: "You went to the hospital that day to serve as a Special Nurse for Chairman Shi, not to discuss cooperation."

Shi Youxuan's heart pounded so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest. She tried hard to stay calm and control herself from panicking.

She tried to speak to him in as calm a tone as possible: "I don't understand what you're talking about. You're sick."

She walked out and slammed the office door with a "bang" that shook the room, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Sheng Hanyu called his subordinate: "From now on, keep an eye on Chairman Ying. Report to me everywhere she goes and who she meets."

After hanging up, Sheng Hanyu leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.

The investigation into Yingzi's background last time showed no problems at all. It was too perfect—so perfect it didn't seem real!

He recalled that from the moment he first met Yingzi, this person had a sense of familiarity. At first, he thought it was Yixin, but later, after ruling out the possibility of Yixin, he hadn't thought of anyone else.

But a few nights ago, after seeing her figure huddled in the corner, Sheng Hanyu felt as if he had been struck by a sudden realization!

Many aspects of Yingzi were very similar to Shi Youxuan. Aside from the different appearance and the fact that she wasn't foolish, there were too many other similarities...

Besides, was Shi Youxuan really foolish?

The two had only lived together for a few days, but at the time, he had suspected she was faking it. It was just that before he could investigate further, he discovered "Jian Yixin" on the surveillance footage, and then he moved to the Apartment.

Although Shi Youxuan had been avoiding Sheng Hanyu these past few days, his own heart was also in chaos and very conflicted.

More and more evidence indicated that Jian Yixin seemed not to exist!

He was particularly unwilling to admit this was the truth, but no matter how he reasoned it, this result seemed correct.

If the truth really was as he suspected, how was he to face his relationship with "Yingzi"?

He hadn't figured out this problem yet, and there were still many things that needed to be verified, so Sheng Hanyu had only been testing Yingzi these past few days, but her reactions were abnormal.

The more abnormal she was, the more it proved there was a problem.

……

Shi Family.

After being discharged from the hospital, Shi Yucheng didn't go to the company but stayed home to recuperate.

While in the hospital, the Special Nurse Xiaoying had given him an idea, saying that many company bosses nowadays didn't do everything themselves, but instead hired reliable and experienced professional managers to do the work.

The BOSS only needed to go to the company occasionally to check on the situation and audit the accounts!

Xiaoying had even recommended a manager to Shi Yucheng. Jiang Yadan disagreed, but Shi Yucheng expressed a willingness to try.

In just over ten days, the person recommended by Xiaoying had organized the company's long-standing messy accounts into perfect order.

The new Manager Chen is very capable; in a short time, he has brought over a dozen orders to the company, and the profit from each one is not low.

The company soon had a new atmosphere, everything was developing in a good direction, and Shi Yucheng was also resting at home with peace of mind!

He was just waiting for his health to improve so he could go out and find his second daughter; Xiaoying is too much like his second daughter, which makes him miss his own daughter even more.

As for Shi Yuke... he cannot think about her; his head hurts as soon as he does!

"Ding-dong—"

"Ding-dong—"

The doorbell rang, and Jiang Yadan went to open the door, but she quickly ran back: "It's bad, Yu Cheng, it's bad, Sheng Hanyu is here..." She was flustered and paced back and forth in the living room in a panic.

"Open the door? Why are you panicking because he's here?" Shi Yucheng was dissatisfied and even more confused.

"Oh, you don't know..." Jiang Yadan wanted to talk about what happened on the internet a while ago, but then realized she couldn't explain it in a sentence or two; that was something her daughter had caused, and while Shi Yucheng didn't know, she had known the whole process.
