Xiang Yu's eyebrows were locked tightly. The problems encountered by Yan Jin's company were like a huge rock pressing on his heart. He knew very well that Yan Jin seemed calm on the surface, but he was under tremendous pressure in his heart. He called his assistant Chen Hao and said, "I want detailed information on all the patent applications and cooperation projects of Lu Group, the sooner the better."

Although Chen Hao was puzzled, he still sent the information to Xiang Yu as quickly as possible. Xiang Yu flipped through the documents and keenly discovered that a patent recently applied for by Lu's Group was highly consistent with the technical direction of Yan Jin's company's new product. He immediately contacted the company's legal department and carefully compared the technical documents of the two companies, and finally determined that Lu's Group had clearly plagiarized.

"It's them!" Xiang Yu's eyes flashed with a cold light. He had long suspected that this incident was not accidental, and now he finally found the mastermind behind it. He instructed Zhou Gongguan to contact several authoritative media and submit evidence of Lu Group's infringement, which immediately caused an uproar in the industry.

Yan Jin's company also responded quickly. With Xiang Yu's support, they filed a lawsuit in court, demanding that Lu Group stop infringing and compensate for the losses.

In court, the lawyers of both sides argued fiercely and refused to give in. Xiang Yu appeared in court as a witness for Yan Jin Company. He calmly stated his analysis and judgment of the incident, and provided detailed evidence, effectively refuting the other party's sophistry. In the end, the court ruled that Yan Jin Company won the case.

When the news came, Yan Jin's company was jubilant and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Yan Jin looked at Xiang Yu standing in the crowd, her eyes full of gratitude. She slowly walked up to him and said softly: "Thank you, this time thanks to you..."

Xiang Yu looked at the soft-looking but strong-willed woman in front of him, and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart. He opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say...

Yan Jin's voice was very light, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting Xiang Yu's heart, causing ripples. He looked at the sparkling crystal in her eyes, and an impulse to protect her surged in his heart. He wanted to tell her that these were what he should do, and he was willing to do anything for her.

"What are you saying? Between us..." Xiang Yu stopped talking halfway. He didn't know how to define their current relationship. The ink on the divorce agreement seemed to be still in front of him, reminding him that he had lost the qualification to say this.

Yan Jin also sensed his hesitation, and a bitter feeling welled up in her heart. Yes, they were already divorced, and now Xiang Yu was only helping her out of morality and responsibility.

"Thank you for everything you have done for the company, and thank you for your trust in me." Yan Jin avoided his gaze and hid all her emotions in these words.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a moment, and Assistant Chen and PR Zhou stepped aside with great tact, leaving space for the two. They looked at the scene in front of them, and their hearts were filled with emotion. Back then, although General Manager Xiang and General Manager Yan were married by agreement, there was always an invisible wall between them, making it difficult for people to get close to each other. But now, this wall seems to be slowly disintegrating, and the relationship between them is becoming more and more natural, and more and more tacit.

"It's getting late. I'll ask the driver to take you home." Xiang Yu broke the silence, with an imperceptible tenderness in his tone.

Yan Jin nodded slightly, not rejecting his kindness.

Watching Yan Jin's car leave, Xiang Yu felt mixed emotions. How he wished time could go back to when they first met. He would put aside all his worries, pursue her sincerely, give her a grand wedding, and make her the happiest woman in the world.

"Mr. Xiang, you should go back and have a rest early. The company's affairs have been handled, so you don't have to worry." PR Zhou's voice brought Xiang Yu back to reality.

"Okay, I understand." Xiang Yu responded lightly and turned to walk towards his car.

Looking at his back, PR Zhou and Assistant Chen exchanged a knowing look. They could see that Mr. Xiang's feelings for Mr. Yan were much deeper than he realized.

The next day, Yan Jin's company successfully survived the crisis, and all businesses began to get back on track. Partner Li called Yan Jin specifically, his tone full of praise: "Boss Yan, this time it's all thanks to you and..."

Partner Li was interrupted by a knock on the door before he could finish his words. Yan Jin said "sorry" and got up to open the door, but when he saw the person coming, he showed a surprised expression...

"Boss Yan, this time it's all thanks to you and...Boss Xiang." Partner Li pushed his glasses, his tone full of praise, "To be honest, I was a little worried before, after all, the opponent this time was aggressive, but I didn't expect Boss Xiang to be so bold and directly mobilized the resources of Xiang Group to help you solve the problem. It seems that he really cares about you."

Yan Jin's face flashed with an unnatural look. She coughed lightly and tried to change the subject: "Boss Li, you are joking. Boss Xiang is only helping us because of our years of cooperation."

"Haha, Mr. Yan, don't be so modest. Everyone can see that Mr. Xiang treats you as more than just a partner." Partner Li smiled meaningfully and did not continue the topic.

To celebrate this victory, Yan Jin specially booked a private room in a high-end restaurant near the company and invited all the people involved in this project.

The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant as the glasses clinked.

"Boss Yan, thanks to your planning, we were able to escape danger this time."

"Yes, President Yan, you are really the pillar of our company!"

Facing the praise from his colleagues, Yan Jin just smiled faintly and raised his glass in response: "This is the result of our joint efforts. Let's relax tonight. All the expenses will be paid by the company."

"Good!" Everyone cheered and raised their glasses to drink together.

Xiang Yu did not join in their fun. He stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, but his eyes were always on the figure who was chatting and laughing not far away.

Her smile was as bright and charming as ever, but it made him feel inexplicably bitter.

"Why are you drinking alone here?"

A familiar voice sounded in his ears. Xiang Yu turned around and saw Yan Jin walking towards him with a wine glass.

"Nothing, I just think the night view here is nice."

"Yes, it is indeed beautiful." Yan Jin followed his gaze and took in the entire night view of the city, which was full of lights and colors and was beautiful beyond words.

The two of them just stood there quietly, no one spoke, but the atmosphere between them was inexplicably harmonious.

"Yan Jin..." Xiang Yu finally plucked up the courage to speak his mind.

"Hmm?" Yan Jin turned to look at him, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

At this moment, their eyes met again, and each other's eyes were full of love.

The noise around them seemed to disappear at this moment, and the whole world was left with only the two of them.

Just when everyone was expecting them to announce their official reunion, Yan Jin's phone suddenly rang, breaking the wonderful atmosphere.

She glanced at the caller ID and frowned slightly. After answering the call, her expression gradually became solemn.

"What did you say? Are you sure?"

"I understand. I will rush back as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Jin's face no longer had the joy from before, and was replaced by a solemn look.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Xiang Yu noticed her abnormality and asked with concern.

"I..." Yan Jin hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell him the truth, "I received a letter from abroad. My... mother... may still be alive..."

"What's wrong? What happened?" Xiang Yu noticed Yan Jin's abnormality and asked with concern. Although Yan Jin's face returned to normal, his eyes could not hide his panic, and his fingers holding the phone turned slightly white.

"No, nothing." Yan Jin took a deep breath and tried to look calmer. "There are some things in the company that I need to deal with when I get back."

"I'll let Assistant Chen accompany you back to deal with it." Xiang Yu could see that she was deliberately avoiding the issue, and his doubts grew even more.

"No need, I've already arranged for someone to do it," Yan Jin avoided his gaze, her tone revealing a hint of urgency, "Don't worry, I'll be back after I finish it."

"Yan Jin..." Xiang Yu wanted to ask more, but was interrupted by Yan Jin.

"I really should go," Yan Jin forced a smile, "Everyone is still waiting to celebrate, please entertain them for me."

After saying this, she turned around and left in a hurry, ignoring Xiang Yu's surprised look.

Looking at her leaving, Xiang Yu felt as if a stone was blocking his heart, heavy. He always felt that Yan Jin was hiding something, but she didn't want to say it, and he couldn't force her.

"Mr. Xiang, what happened to Mr. Yan?" Gongguan Zhou couldn't help but feel worried when he saw Yan Jin leaving in a hurry.

"It's okay, the company had some urgent matters that needed her attention," Xiang Yu explained lightly, turning back to the table, but he could not hide the worry in his eyes.

Yan Jin rushed all the way home, and immediately locked herself in the study and locked the door. She took out the letter from her bag and opened it with trembling hands. There was only a short line of English on the letter:

"I know the truth about your mother. If you want to know, come to Paris."

Yan Jin's pupils shrank suddenly. Didn't her mother die more than 20 years ago? Why did this letter say that it knew the truth about her mother?

A chill ran up from the soles of her feet to her heart, and Yan Jin felt cold all over, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She tightly grasped the letter, and her knuckles turned white from excessive force.

After a long while, she finally found her voice and murmured in a low voice: "What is going on? Who is deliberately making things mysterious?"

Yan Jin quickly calmed down and began to analyze the authenticity of the letter. The handwriting was obviously a deliberate imitation, and the identity could not be identified. The content was vague, more like some kind of temptation or... a trap?

She called Assistant Chen again, "Please book me a flight to Paris tomorrow at the earliest. Also, please help me check this address..."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Jin's eyes flashed with determination. No matter who wrote the letter, she would find out the truth!

The night is as dark as ink.
