After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it
Chapter 48 Unsigned Secret Letter
The celebration ended with laughter and joy, and the guests left the banquet hall one after another with expectations for the future. Yan Jin and Xiang Yu returned to the office, exhausted but excited. The secretary brought a cup of coffee and an unsigned envelope.
"What is this?" Yan Jin asked in confusion, stroking the envelope with her slender fingers. It felt rough, like cheap recycled paper.
"Just open it and you'll know." Xiang Yu rubbed his eyebrows, with a hint of fatigue in his tone.
Yan Jin opened the envelope and pulled out the letter. On the letter was printed text, no signature, no inscription, and there was a cold malice between the lines. She quickly glanced through it, her face turned pale in an instant, and her fingers holding the letter trembled slightly.
Xiang Yu noticed her strangeness, put down the documents in his hand, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yan Jin took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and handed him the letter, "Read it yourself."
Xiang Yu took the letter, glanced at the contents, and frowned. The letter revealed a shocking secret about the founder of Xiang Group. If this secret was made public, it would cause a devastating blow to the company's reputation and might even put the company in an irreparable situation.
"This..." Xiang Yu's face was gloomy, and he found it difficult to digest this sudden news for a while.
"Could this be a prank?" Yan Jin forced himself to calm down and analyzed, "After all, in an occasion like tonight, there must be many people who want to take advantage of the situation."
Xiang Yu shook his head. "No, the letter mentioned a lot of details, some of which even I don't know. It's impossible that they were fabricated out of thin air."
"What should we do now?" Yan Jin felt powerless. She had finally gotten the company back on track, but now it was facing a huge crisis again.
"First, find out the source of this letter," Xiang Yu made a prompt decision, "Also, this matter must not be leaked, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Yan Jin nodded and immediately began to investigate. She retrieved the surveillance video of the banquet hall to try to find out who sent the letter. At the same time, Xiang Yu also began to contact the company's elders, trying to get more information about the founder from them.
It was late at night, and the lights in the office were still on. Yan Jin and Xiang Yu's faces were full of solemnity. They knew that a new storm was approaching, and they had to be prepared before the storm came...
"Could it be..." Yan Jin suddenly thought of something, and looked up at Xiang Yu, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Yan Jin took a deep breath and lowered his voice and said, "Could it be... related to what happened before?"
Xiang Yu understood what she meant instantly. Those things were the common shadows in their hearts, and also the fuse that led to their final divorce. Thinking of this, Xiang Yu's face became even gloomier, and a trace of pain and anger flashed in his eyes.
"You mean..." He paused and didn't continue, but both of them knew what he meant.
"I'm just guessing. After all, this matter is too strange." Yan Jin calmed down and analyzed rationally, "If the purpose of this letter is to attack the Xiang family, why choose an occasion like today? Moreover, the details mentioned in the letter are known to very few people except the company's veterans, unless..."
"Unless it's someone who is familiar with the inside story." Xiang Yu took over her words with a cold tone.
"That's right." Yan Jin nodded, "So, we can't rule out any possibility, including..."
She didn't say anything more, but Xiang Yu already understood what she meant. They both thought of the same person - Xiang Yu's sister, Xiang Lin.
Xiang Lin has always held a grudge against Yan Jin, believing that she had taken away her brother's love and the family status that should have belonged to her. During their marriage, Xiang Lin had repeatedly sowed discord and created conflicts, and even used the company's resources to suppress Yan Jin's company.
"I'll check." Xiang Yu said firmly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
In order not to alert the enemy, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu decided to investigate the matter secretly. They acted separately, with Xiang Yu responsible for investigating the details mentioned in the letter from within the company and whether any employees had been exposed to similar information. Yan Jin used his own connections to investigate the source of the envelope and Xiang Lin's recent movements.
The investigation process was more difficult than they had imagined. There seemed to be an invisible force within the company that was obstructing their investigation, and Xiang Lin also became unusually low-key, secretive and elusive.
Just when they were at a loss, Yan Jin's best friend Chen Lin brought a piece of news.
"I heard that Xiang Lin has been very close to a private detective recently..." Chen Lin lowered her voice with a hint of worry in her tone, "I'm worried..."
Yan Jin and Xiang Yu exchanged glances, and immediately understood. It seemed that their guess was right. This letter was most likely Xiang Lin's last trick.
"I understand. Thank you, Linlin." Yan Jin took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm.
"Jinjin, you must be careful." Chen Lin looked at her worriedly, "Xiang Lin is capable of anything."
"I know." Yan Jin nodded, "Don't worry, I will protect myself."
After seeing Chen Lin off, Yan Jin immediately told Xiang Yu the news.
"It seems that she is planning to burn her boats." Xiang Yu's face was terribly gloomy, and there was a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.
"What should we do now?" Yan Jin asked.
"I will go find her." Xiang Yu said coldly, "Some things are time to end."
He stood up, picked up his coat, and strode out of the office. Yan Jin looked at his back, and a sense of uneasiness surged in her heart, like the calm before the storm.
"Brother..." The office door was suddenly pushed open, and Xiang Lin stood at the door with a pitiful look on her face, "I heard..."
Xiang Yu turned around abruptly, his eyes as sharp as a knife, staring at her coldly, and said word by word: "What do you know?"
Xiang Lin was frightened by Xiang Yu's eyes and took a step back, stammering and unable to speak. She didn't expect her brother to look at her in this way, as if he could see through all her thoughts at a glance.
"Why aren't you talking?" Xiang Yu approached step by step, his tone icy and without a trace of warmth, "Don't you know everything? Then tell me, did you ask someone to deliver that letter?"
Xiang Lin's face was pale, her lips trembled, but she didn't dare to look directly into Xiang Yu's eyes. Her silence had already given Xiang Yu the answer.
"Why are you doing this?" Xiang Yu suppressed his anger, his voice low and suppressed, "Do you know that by doing this you will ruin the Xiang family and yourself!"
"Brother, I..." Xiang Lin's tears burst out instantly, "I just... I just want to help you..."
"Help me?" Xiang Yu sneered, "Is this your way of helping me? Using such despicable means to hurt an innocent person?"
Xiang Lin wanted to explain further, but was interrupted by Xiang Yu. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his surging emotions.
He knew that he was also responsible for Xiang Lin's transformation. He had doted on his sister so much since she was little that she became spoiled, willful, and reckless.
However, he couldn't indulge her any longer. This incident had already touched his bottom line.
"Linlin," he opened his eyes, his gaze full of fatigue and helplessness, "Go away, and don't appear in front of me again."
"Brother!" Xiang Lin couldn't believe her ears. Her brother actually wanted to break off relations with her?
"Get out!" Xiang Yu turned around abruptly and didn't even look at her.
Xiang Lin ran out of the office crying, leaving Xiang Yu standing there alone, his back looking desolate and lonely.
Yan Jin had been standing outside the door, and heard the conversation between the two clearly. She did not go in to disturb them, but just waited quietly.
Xiang Yu walked up to her and smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry to make you laugh."
"No." Yan Jin shook his head, "I can understand your feelings."
"I haven't figured out how to deal with this matter yet." Xiang Yu rubbed his brow tiredly, "I don't know how to explain it to my family members and the public."
"I will help you." Yan Jin said firmly, "No matter how much it costs, I will protect the interests of the Xiang Group and you."
Xiang Yu looked at her gratefully, a warm feeling welling up in his heart.
At this moment, there was a knock on the office door. A strange voice sounded outside the door: "Mr. Xiang, Mr. Yan, can I come in? I have a business deal that I want to discuss with you two..."
"Come in." Xiang Yu said in a deep voice, with lingering fatigue still between his brows.
A tall man wearing sunglasses walked in. He was wearing a black suit and exuded an indescribable sense of oppression. The man took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of deep and sharp eyes, with an ambiguous smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Mr. Xiang, Mr. Yan, I have long heard of your names." The man nodded slightly, his voice low and hoarse, "My name is K, and I am here to discuss a deal with you two."
Xiang Yu and Yan Jin exchanged a wary look. K's appearance was too abrupt, and his tone and attitude were full of weirdness.
"What deal?" Yan Jin asked calmly, examining K with sharp eyes.
"I know that Xiang Group has encountered some troubles recently," K's smile deepened, "I can help you solve this crisis, but in return, I need you..."
K paused deliberately, observing Xiang Yu and Yan Jin's reactions, and then slowly stated his conditions: "I want you to help me find someone."
"Who?" Xiang Yu asked, with a barely perceptible hint of nervousness in his tone.
K did not answer directly, but took out a photo from his pocket, put it on the table and pushed it in front of them. The photo showed a young and beautiful woman with a cold and distant look between her eyebrows. It was the one who left without saying goodbye a few years ago...
"I want you to help me find her." K's voice was low and firm, with an unquestionable determination in his tone.
Xiang Yu's pupils suddenly shrank. The woman in the photo was like a thunderclap, exploding in his mind, instantly bringing him back to the past full of sweetness and bitterness.
"Ayu..." Yan Jin noticed that Xiang Yu was acting strangely, and gently held his hand, looking at him worriedly.
Xiang Yu took a deep breath, trying to suppress the emotions surging in his heart, turned his head to look at K, his eyes became firm and cold: "Why should we believe you?"
"You have no choice." K sneered, stood up, and looked down at them, "If you don't agree, then..."
K didn't say anything more, but he believed that Xiang Yu and Yan Jin understood what he meant. He turned and walked towards the door. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned his back to them, and said, "I will come back to hear your answers in three days."
After K left, the room fell into silence. Xiang Yu tightly grasped the photo, his knuckles turning white. The woman in the photo seemed to be smiling at him, but also seemed to be mocking his incompetence and cowardice.
"Ayu, what's wrong with you?" Yan Jin asked worriedly. She had never seen Xiang Yu lose his composure like this.
Xiang Yu did not answer, but stared at the photo, as if he wanted to see through it. After a long time, he slowly spoke in a hoarse and low voice: "She's back..."
