After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it
Chapter 120: The Threat in the Shadows
Yan Jin walked into the elevator and pressed the floor button. The elevator slowly rose, and she leaned against the cold wall of the car, her heart in turmoil. The content of the mysterious phone call was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves and lingering.
"Yan Jin, you'd better take a clear look at the people around you now, and don't be blinded by appearances!"
This warning echoed in her ears repeatedly, with a hint of weirdness and threat. Yan Jin couldn't help but recall every moment she spent with Xiang Yu. He was considerate, gentle and caring, and even more caring after the divorce. Was all this a disguise? Was he really hiding something from her?
Yan Jin shook her head vigorously, trying to get rid of these absurd thoughts. She thought she knew Xiang Yu very well, and he would not use such means. But the mysterious phone call and the voice on the other end of the phone were so real that she couldn't ignore them.
After returning to the apartment, Xiang Yu sent a message asking if she had arrived home. Yan Jin stared at the screen of her mobile phone, hesitated for a moment, and finally replied with a "yeah". She didn't know how to face him, and she didn't know whether she should tell him about the mysterious phone call.
In the next few days, Yan Jin was absent-minded, and the shadow of the mysterious phone call always loomed over her. Xiang Yu noticed her strangeness and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Is it because of the company's affairs that are embarrassing you?"
Yan Jin forced a smile and said, "It's okay. I'm just a little tired lately."
She didn't want to make Xiang Yu worry, and she didn't want to doubt him because of an unknown phone call. However, the doubts in her heart grew like vines, making her unable to feel at ease.
That day, Yan Jin came to the company and after finishing the work at hand, she habitually opened the drawer to find a document. However, at this moment, her eyes were attracted by a file bag in the corner.
It was an old-looking file bag with no markings on it. Yan Jin took it out for some unknown reason, opened it, and his face turned pale instantly. The file bag contained a secret document about the Xiang Group, and the content of the document seemed to be related to the previous family secrets...
Yan Jin's fingers trembled slightly, and the contents of the document became blurred in front of her eyes. This document recorded in detail some unknown secret transactions in the early days of the Xiang Group's development, which involved some illegal means and gray areas, and the manipulators behind these events seemed to have a close connection with Xiang Yu's family.
"How is this possible..." Yan Jin muttered to herself, her heart was in turmoil. Could it be that Xiang Yu approached her for another purpose? Could it be that behind his gentle and considerate attitude, there was a hidden secret?
Yan Jin took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She put the file back and closed the drawer, but the doubts in her heart kept snowballing. She decided to investigate on her own to find out the truth.
In the following days, Yan Jin began to collect information about the Xiang Group and the Xiang Yu family intentionally or unintentionally. She looked through the company's past financial statements, followed various news and rumors in the industry, and even used her free time to visit some old friends who had business dealings with the Xiang family.
At the same time, Yan Jin was also careful to avoid attracting Xiang Yu's attention. She knew that if he noticed her suspicion, it might alert the enemy and even put herself in danger.
"Jin, have you been hiding something from me recently?" One night, Xiang Yu came to Yan Jin's apartment and asked with concern.
"No, what could I possibly hide from you?" Yan Jin answered in a nonchalant manner, but a barely perceptible panic flashed across his eyes.
Xiang Yu did not ask any more questions, but just gently held her in his arms and said softly: "No matter what happens, tell me, okay? I will always be by your side."
Yan Jin leaned on his shoulder, feeling his warm embrace, with mixed feelings in her heart. She didn't know how to face this feeling, nor how to deal with the current predicament.
That night, Yan Jin returned home and just opened the door, she felt something strange. The lights in the corridor were dim, and there was a subtle fragrance in the air. Her heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.
"Who's there?" Yan Jin asked softly, reaching for her phone in her bag.
Just then, a dark figure flashed out from the corner, stuffed a package into her hand, and then quickly disappeared into the night.
Yan Jin opened the package with shaking hands, and inside were some photos and documents. The photos showed Xiang Yu's intimate photos with different women, while the documents were some negative reports about the Xiang Group, including some questions about Xiang Yu's personal style and business ethics.
Yan Jin's face turned pale, and the photos and documents in her hands seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, making her breathless. At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, and Yan Jin looked down and saw an unfamiliar number on the screen.
She hesitated for a moment, and finally pressed the answer button.
"Ms. Yan, did you receive the things? Do you believe what I said now?" A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of sarcasm and complacency.
"Who are you? Why are you doing this?" Yan Jin asked, suppressing the fear and anger in his heart.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I know a lot of secrets about Xiang Yu, and I also know what you want..."
"What do you want?"
"It's very simple. You..."
"What do you want?" Yan Jin tightly gripped the phone and forced herself to calm down. She knew that every word in the conversation with this mysterious man might determine her future.
"Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you," the other party chuckled, but there was a hint of coldness in his tone, "I just want you to see Xiang Yu's true face. He is not as simple as you think."
The phone was suddenly hung up, leaving only a busy tone echoing in Yan Jin's ears. She fell weakly on the sofa, the photos in the package scattered all over the floor, and those intimate pictures were like sharp blades, cutting scars in her heart.
The next day, Yan Jin forced herself to keep her spirits and went to a date at a high-end restaurant to have lunch with Xiang Yu. She tried to act as if nothing had happened, but the uneasiness in her heart was like an indelible shadow, shrouding her.
"Yu, I heard that the company is bidding for a large project recently, and the competition seems to be very fierce?" Yan Jin mentioned it casually, but his eyes were fixed on Xiang Yu, observing every subtle expression on his face.
"That's true," Xiang Yu put down his knife and fork, and met Yan Jin's gaze calmly, "But don't worry, everything is under control."
"I heard..." Yan Jin paused, as if mustering up his courage, "I heard that this project involves some... not-so-glorious means?"
Xiang Yu frowned slightly, then relaxed. He held Yan Jin's hand, speaking gently but firmly, "Jin, the business world is like a battlefield. Some things are beyond your control, but I can assure you that everything I do is for the company and for our future."
Although Xiang Yu's answer sounded sincere and frank, Yan Jin's doubts were not completely eliminated. The mysterious man's warning, the photos, the documents, and the rumors about Xiang Yu's family were like pieces of a puzzle, piecing together a truth that made her uneasy.
In the evening, Yan Jin sent Xiang Yu away and returned to the empty apartment. An unprecedented feeling of exhaustion came over her. She knew that she could not escape like this any longer. She had to make a choice, either believe Xiang Yu, or...
"Ding-dong-"
The doorbell rang suddenly, and Yan Jin's heart jumped. She walked to the door and looked out through the peephole, only to see a man in a black windbreaker and a baseball cap standing outside the door, holding a familiar package in his hand.
The man raised his head and met Yan Jin's eyes in the narrow space of the cat's eye. A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slowly said: "Miss Yan, we meet again..."
Yan Jin took a deep breath and slowly opened the door. The man handed her the package with a hint of warning in his tone: "There are some things in here that you should be interested in. I hope you can make a wise choice."
Yan Jin took the package, closed the door, and slid down against the cold door panel. A deep sense of powerlessness surrounded her. She returned to the living room and opened the package. Inside was a document recording some unknown business transactions of Xiang Yu Company, some of which were illegal operations.
"Who are you? Why are you doing this?" Yan Jin murmured to herself in the air. She knew that this mysterious man had been observing her secretly, perhaps watching her every move in some corner.
"If you want to know the answer, come see me."
The phone screen lit up, and a text message from an unfamiliar number made her heart tremble. The text message contained only a short sentence, but it was like a sharp blade, pointing directly at her inner fear and anxiety.
Yan Jin hesitated for a moment, and finally called Xiang Yu. She told him the mysterious man's warning and her own discovery, her tone full of anxiety and uneasiness. Xiang Yu on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then said firmly: "Jin, don't be afraid, I will handle this matter, and we will face it together."
Xiang Yu's tone comforted Yan Jin, and she knew she was not fighting alone. The two decided not to sit and wait for death, and they began to investigate the identity and purpose of the mysterious man, trying to uncover the truth hidden in the shadows.
However, just when they thought everything was moving in the right direction, Yan Jin's phone rang again.
"Don't try to investigate me again, or you'll regret it."
On the screen, the mysterious man's warning was like a flash of lightning, shattering the last hope in Yan Jin's heart. She held the phone, her fingertips turning white, and an ominous premonition loomed in her heart...
