To seduce her

It’s dad’s jade pendant.

This was the third time Shen Yaochu had seen this jade pendant since his father's accident.

The mood is very different every time.

For the first time, this jade pendant opened the long-sealed box, revealing the mystery before her and Gao Yuchuan.

At that time, she was afraid that this was the key evidence to convict her father. When she saw the jade pendant, she felt worried, nervous, and scared.

The second time, this jade pendant appeared among a pile of evidence. It was one of the pieces that Gao Yuchuan had kept in a safe and it was covered in dust.

At that time, she was more disappointed and puzzled that Gao Yuchuan had concealed the truth from her. This jade pendant seemed to remind her that he did not want to clear her father's name.

This time, Gao Yuchuan personally and solemnly handed the jade pendant to her.

Said that the property should be returned to its original owner.

Shen Yaochu's fingertips trembled slightly, and she was deeply moved. She gently stroked the jade pendant, as if she could feel the warmth of her father.

At this moment, she was absolutely certain that her father Shen Chengan was not the murderer, and he was still the kind and upright man in her heart.

This jade pendant was worn by my father when he was alive. It is his relic and is extremely precious to Shen Yaochu.

Feeling the emotions surging in Shen Yaochu's heart, Gao Yuchuan put his arms around her slender waist and held her in his arms.

Tears welled up in Shen Yaochu's eyes. She held the jade pendant tightly, feeling the heavy emotion.

Shen Yaochu said softly: "Thank you."

"I should have returned it to you sooner."

Shen Yaochu held the jade pendant in his hand and rubbed it gently.

Gao Yuchuan lowered his head and looked at Shen Yaochu in his arms. She was silent with red eyes. He noticed that she seemed to be in a trance and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Shen Yaochu asked him: "Have you found the person who killed someone?"

Gao Yuchuan shook his head lightly, his expression solemn, and said in a low voice: "No. I suspect that he might have been protected by Zhou Rongguang and He Manyue."

Ever since he had someone track down the hacker, found the original picture, and identified the murderer, he sent people to look for him.

But after so long, there is no gain.

This person is the key evidence. Once he is caught, his testimony will be able to convict He Manyue.

But the more important this person is, the more He Manyue and Zhou Rongguang will protect him.

"Yeah, as expected." Shen Yaochu rubbed the jade pendant with her fingertips. The touch was warm and there was an inexplicable power coming from it: "We can always find it."

"Okay." Gao Yuchuan kissed her red eyes and said, "I want to go to the park to pick them up. Let's go together?"

Shen Yaochu put away her emotions and glanced at him: "Missing the child?"

"I do." Gao Yuchuan admitted.

office.

Gao Yushan sat alone at his desk, holding a photo tightly in his hand.

The edge of the photo has been rubbed repeatedly and is slightly curled, as if carrying Gao Yushan's surprise and doubt.

The photo shows that the murderer who came out of Yan's house on the day Yan Yuesheng died accidentally was indeed Shen Yaochu's father Shen Cheng'an.

Gao Yushan's face looked very bad, so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

His eyes lingered on the photo for a long time, with complex emotions flashing in his deep eyes.

He was also present on the day when the Yan family offered sacrifices to their ancestors and prayed for blessings. From that day on, he fell into endless struggle.

Hasn't he always been suspicious about Yan Yuesheng's death and wanted to find out the truth?

But he had too many concerns while staying in the Gao family.

That day Gao Yuchuan asked him if he wanted to investigate with him, and he really wanted to agree.

However, he knew that Gao Yuchuan was on guard against him, and it was impossible for them to exchange information.

If Gao Yuchuan knew that the results of his investigation were unfavorable to Shen Yaochu, Gao Yuchuan would most likely stop him from investigating further.

He is different from Gao Yuchuan. Gao Yuchuan wants to protect Shen Yaochu, but he really just wants to know the truth.

He took a deep breath, trying to temporarily suppress the turmoil in his heart.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door, interrupting Gao Yushan's thoughts.

Gao Yushan raised his head, a hint of alertness flashed in his eyes, and he put the photo in his hand into the bottom layer of the drawer. Then he regained his usual calmness and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

The door slowly opened and a familiar figure appeared at the door.

Gao Yushan was a little surprised that it was He Manyue.

"Yushan." He Manyue was wearing an elegant cheongsam with a gentle smile on her face. She walked towards him at a leisurely pace and asked, "Are you busy?"

Gao Yushan smiled and said, "Aunt He, do you have something to talk to me about?"

The sunlight shone through the half-closed curtains, casting patches of light into the office. Gao Yushan was clearly smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes, which instead held a barely perceptible scrutiny.

"Well, I have something to ask you, and I think we need to talk."

"Okay." Gao Yushan stood up and walked to the sofa, motioning He Manyue to sit down.

Gao Yushan knew that she was smiling but had ill intentions. He could clearly feel the undercurrent between them.

"Yushan, last time you had a fight with Yuchuan, I helped you persuade him. But really..." He Manyue sighed disappointedly: "After all, I am a stepmother in this family, and there are some things I really shouldn't say. But I know that you and I have the same idea."

"Since you are dad's current wife, you can certainly say whatever you want to say." Gao Yushan's tone was just the right amount of respect.

He Manyue looked at him gratefully: "You are the only one who understands me. He asked you to investigate that matter with him, do you really not want to investigate it?"

Hearing He Manyue's words, Gao Yushan's eyes darkened slightly, and then he regained his gentleness: "I think they are acting too impulsively. If they continue like this, it will only bring trouble to the Gao family."

He Manyue nodded, a hint of approval flashed in her eyes, and she said bluntly: "That's right, I don't want to see this family fall into chaos again. So, I want to cooperate with you."

"Cooperation?" Gao Yushan's heart was moved, but his face remained calm: "Then why don't you want them to investigate further?"

"I have the same idea as you! I have been in the Gao family for so many years, and I really don't want the Gao family, which has finally calmed down, to become chaotic again." He Manyue explained: "Your father is old now, and he is already very tired of dealing with the affairs of the Gao Group. I really don't want to see him worrying anymore."

Hearing this, Gao Yushan nodded.

What He Manyue said seemed to make sense.

As a second wife, she naturally did not want the Gao family to bring up the matter of Gao Yuanbin’s ex-wife again.

But couldn't she just ignore it? Why did she cooperate with him to stop Gao Yuchuan and Shen Yaochu from investigating?

Could it be that these things have something to do with her?

"So you want me to help you stop them from continuing their investigation?"

Gao Yushan raised his eyes and looked at He Manyue: "Do you have any plan to stop it? How can I help you?"
