After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

beep - beep -

The piercing busy tone echoed in her ears, and Yan Jin's knuckles turned white as she held the phone. She felt dizzy, and slowly sat down on the table, taking a few deep breaths before she managed to calm down. The other party's words were like a nightmare that could not be shaken off, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting her heart, making her flustered.

"What does he know? My secret... my child..." Yan Jin murmured in a low voice, her mind in a mess. So many years had passed, and the past that she had deliberately forgotten was now so easily dug up by someone, like an invisible hand, tightly strangling her throat, making it impossible for her to breathe.

She subconsciously wanted to find someone to talk to and seek help, and the first person she thought of was Xiang Yu. However, when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back. No, I can't tell him! Countless thoughts flashed through Yan Jin's mind. If Xiang Yu knew, what would he think? Would he believe her? Would he think she was taking advantage of the child?

No, she couldn't take that risk. At least not now...

In the next few days, Yan Jin felt like she was imprisoned in an invisible cage. That mysterious phone call was like a time bomb that would explode at any time and blow her to pieces. She didn't dare to turn on her phone or answer any strange calls, for fear of hearing that creepy voice.

However, the more you fear something, the more it will come. That night, Yan Jin's phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar number. She hesitated for a moment, but finally pressed the answer button.

"Why aren't you talking? Are you scared?" A familiar cold male voice came from the other end of the phone.

Yan Jin took a deep breath and tried to control her trembling voice and said, "What do you want?"

"I just want you to remember something, something you deliberately want to forget..." The other party paused and continued, "Do you know who your parents are? Do you know why they abandoned you?"

"You're talking nonsense! I don't know what you're talking about!" Yan Jin retorted harshly, but there was a hint of panic in his tone.

The other party chuckled and continued, "Don't rush to deny it. I will slowly tell you...about your life experience, about the secrets of your parents..."

Yan Jin felt her eyes go dark and she almost fainted. She tried desperately to piece together some information from the other party's words, but those fragmented fragments were like puzzle pieces scattered in a maze, making her feel even more confused and frightened...

With a beep, the call was hung up again. Yan Jin slumped on the sofa, the other party's words echoing in her mind. She knew that she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. She had to find out the truth, even if...she had to face the dark past alone.

The next morning, Yan Jin went out. She wanted to find out her own life experience and uncover the secrets hidden by that mysterious man...

Yan Jin drove to the orphanage where she grew up. The director had been replaced by a kind and amiable middle-aged woman. In response to Yan Jin's inquiry, the new director said that she didn't know Yan Jin's situation, but only knew that she was abandoned at the door of the orphanage by a young couple.

"Are all the records from that year gone?" Yan Jin asked anxiously, and the glimmer of hope that had ignited in his heart was shattered.

"I'm sorry, Miss Yan, the previous dean has retired and the information is gone." The new dean shook his head helplessly.

Yan Jin suppressed her disappointment and left the orphanage, her mind constantly replaying the words of the mysterious man. Parents... secrets... these words were like a fog that surrounded her tightly and made her feel suffocated.

In the next few days, Yan Jin visited many places, trying to find any clues about her life experience, but she found nothing. She became silent and worried, and couldn't even concentrate on her work.

Xiang Yu saw all of this. He didn't know what had happened, but his intuition told him that Yan Jin must have encountered some trouble.

"Jin'er, what's wrong with you recently? Are you too tired from the company's work?" Xiang Yu asked with concern during dinner.

Yan Jin forced a smile and shook her head: "I'm fine, maybe I've been under a lot of work pressure lately."

"If you have anything to say, you can tell me. Don't carry it all by yourself." Xiang Yu reached out and held Yan Jin's hand, trying to give her some warmth.

Yan Jin retracted her hand as if she had received an electric shock, lowered her head, and dared not look directly into Xiang Yu's eyes. She wanted to tell him everything, but she was afraid that he would leave her after knowing the truth.

"It's really okay, I... I'm going to the bathroom." Yan Jin hurriedly got up and fled from the dining table.

Looking at Yan Jin's flustered back, Xiang Yu frowned tightly. He had a hunch that Yan Jin was deliberately hiding something, and this secret might push them apart again...

That night, Yan Jin's phone rang again with the number that made her shudder. She took a deep breath and answered the call.

"What have you thought about it? Are you ready to face your past?" The other party's voice was tinged with teasing.

"What exactly do you want?" Yan Jin asked coldly, suppressing the fear in his heart.

"Don't worry, my gift is ready, you will know soon..." The other party's voice became lower and lower, and finally turned into a weird laugh.

After the call was hung up, a picture message appeared on Yan Jin's phone screen. She clicked it with trembling hands. The next second, the phone slipped from her hand and her face turned pale instantly... The picture message contained an old photo of a young couple, smiling brightly and snuggling together intimately. The background of the photo was the orphanage where Yan Jin grew up.

Yan Jin felt as if her heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and she could hardly breathe. This photo was undoubtedly telling her that everything the mysterious man said was true, and there was something else behind her life experience.

Fear, doubt, anger, all kinds of emotions intertwined together, almost drowning Yan Jin. She didn't understand why she was abandoned by her parents? Why did they never look for her in all these years? And why did this mysterious person want to uncover the scars of her past?

Since that night, Yan Jin has had nightmares, with that photo and her parents' unfamiliar faces always appearing in her dreams. Her mood has also become increasingly unstable, and she often stares blankly alone, even absent-minded at work.

Xiang Yu saw it all and was anxious. He didn't know what Yan Jin was hiding, but he could feel that she was experiencing great pain in her heart. He decided to help Yan Jin through this difficult time no matter what.

He began to secretly investigate the mysterious number and arranged bodyguards to protect Yan Jin's safety 24 hours a day. He hoped to find the mastermind behind the incident and completely solve the problem so that Yan Jin would no longer be afraid.

"Jin'er, no matter what happens, don't be afraid. I will always be with you." Xiang Yu held Yan Jin's hand tightly, his eyes firm and gentle.

Yan Jin raised her head and looked at the man in front of her. His eyes were full of worry and love, which made her feel a little warm and comforted. She wanted to tell him everything, but she was afraid that he would leave her because of this.

"I just... had some nightmares. It's okay. I will adjust myself." Yan Jin finally chose to hide it. She was afraid of losing Xiang Yu, and even more afraid of facing her past.

Xiang Yu did not ask any more questions, but he knew that Yan Jin was not telling the truth. He was more determined to find out the truth, because what he wanted to protect was not only Yan Jin's personal safety, but also her broken heart.

A few days later, Yan Jin accidentally found a diary while sorting out old things. The diary was very old, the paper was yellowed, and there was no mark on the cover. She curiously opened it and saw a line of beautiful handwriting on the first page:

"Jin'er, my baby, mommy loves you..."

This diary, like a flash of lightning, split the fog of Yan Jin's memory. She flipped through it tremblingly, and every page was filled with the tenderness of maternal love and longing for her daughter. The diary recorded the joy of the mother's pregnancy, the pain of childbirth, and the good wishes for her daughter's future life.

After reading the diary, Yan Jin burst into tears. She finally understood that she was not abandoned by her parents, but they were forced to separate from her for some reason. But what was the reason?

On the last page of the diary, there was a yellowed note with an address and a line of words written on it: "If one day you see this diary, go to this address, where you may be able to solve all your doubts."

As if grasping a life-saving straw, Yan Jin immediately drove to the address on the note. It was an old bookstore located in a corner of the city, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

The bookstore owner was a kind old man. He looked at Yan Jin, and a strange look flashed in his cloudy eyes. After learning the purpose of Yan Jin's visit, he took out a thick photo album from the depths of the bookshelf.

"Your mother often came to me back then. She once said that if her daughter came to see her one day, she would give her this photo album." The old man said slowly.

Yan Jin took the album tremblingly, and turned to the first page. A photo came into view. It was a photo of a young woman. Her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Yan Jin!

Just as Yan Jin was about to continue looking through the photo album to find more clues, the phone in the bookstore suddenly rang. The old man answered the phone and his face suddenly changed.

"What did you say? Okay, okay, I'll burn it right away..."

Before the old man could finish his words, he was interrupted by a burst of hurried footsteps. A group of men in black rushed into the bookstore and surrounded Yan Jin and the old man without saying a word.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Yan Jin asked in horror.

"Someone doesn't want you to know the truth." The leading man in black said coldly, "Hand over the photo album, and we can consider letting you go."

Before he finished speaking, the men in black began to search the bookstore. Yan Jin held the photo album tightly, knowing that this was her only hope to solve the mystery of her life.

In the chaos, the old man took advantage of the situation and stuffed a USB drive into Yan Jin's hand, whispering, "Child, everything you want is in here..."

The next second, a raging fire ignited in the bookstore, devouring everything, including Yan Jin's last hope...

"No——" Yan Jin's desperate cry was particularly harsh in the firelight. Her eyes fell on the phone. The familiar number flashed again, like a call from hell...

The call was connected, and a mysterious man's cold laughter came from the other end: "It seems that you have discovered something interesting..."
