At five o'clock in the morning, the rainstorm did not stop.
Rongyin returned to the apartment, and the whole figure came out of the ruins.
She turned on the computer and inserted the USB flash drive. The screen beat slowly, and an audio file called [Yinyin, If You're Still Alive] jumped into her eyes.
Her fingers trembled and opened.
The audio began to play, and it was a soft and familiar female voice.
"Yinyin, I'm mom."
"If you hear this recording... it means that something has happened to us."
Rong Yin bit his lip, and tears rolled down his eyes uncontrollably.
"You must be curious about why our car had an accident that day. In fact... we have been targeted for a long time.
"When your father was in Chi's Finance Department, he found that the company had set up a private account, smuggled overseas weapons, and reported it to the senior management."
"And your grandfather... Do you remember him? He is from the Military Law Department. He... once held the evidence of the Chi family.
There was a sudden gasp in the audio, which seemed to be recorded while avoiding tracking.
"We have hidden a piece of evidence... put it in the old music box when you were a child. You have to remember that it is the only key that can clear the truth."
Rong Yin suddenly stood up, rushed into the bedroom, and turned out an old pink music box from the depths of the wardrobe.
She remembered that this box was given by her mother, and she had never opened it for ten years.
Snap.
She pressed the hidden button, and a layer of hidden grid popped out of the base.
Inside, there is an old disk and a yellowed handwritten letter lying quietly inside.
——
At the same time.
Chi's Group, the top floor conference room.
Chi Michuan sat in the main seat with a gloomy face, holding the information he had just obtained from the bodyguard.
"Did Rong Yin go to see Zhou Yuansheng?" He said coldly.
The assistant nodded and said, "Yes, he is a sideline who was expelled from the Chi family. He once failed to fight for power with your father and is suspected of having some illegal evidence of the Chi family."
"It seems that he intends to use Rongyin as a weapon."
Chi Yuchuan's eyes were cold, and his thin lips gently opened: "I warned him not to touch her."
"President, what should I do now?"
"Check." His eyes were as deep as a cold pool. "To find out who he is joining hands with and who dares to touch her... I will make him disappear overnight."
With that, he got up and left the seat without a trace of warmth in his voice.
"I'm going to see her in person."
——
Night falls.
Rong Yin took the disk to an abandoned Internet bar.
There is the only host that can still read this old device.
The screen was dark for a while, and suddenly a string of encrypted files popped up.
She decrypted it little by little and finally saw a key video--
In the picture, there is a ledger, a string of overseas accounts, and an extremely familiar name:
[Chi Yuankun]
——Chi Michuan's father.
At the same time, a surveillance screenshot is attached - a man in a suit is dealing with a stranger at the airport.
She stared wide - that face was clearly the "uncle" she had seen in the Chi family when she was a child - Chi's father's younger brother.
At the end of the document, there is an unpublished police recording.
[Police: Do you have conclusive evidence that Chi's Group is involved in illegal transactions?
Woman: I saw them transferring weapons samples with my own eyes... Before my husband died, he recorded the whole process for me.]
Rongyin's fingers stiffened, and his eyes were red again.
She finally understood that the death of her parents was really not an accident.
She finally understood that the Chi family was not as simple as she thought.
And Chi Michuan, from the beginning, stood in the middle of the line of fire.
——
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
She turned around suddenly.
Chi Michuan stood at the door, and the rain dripped down his suit, and his eyes were obscure.
He slowly approached with a low voice: "Have you seen it?"
Rong Yin looked up with complicated emotions in his eyes.
"You knew it long ago?"
He didn't deny it: "I've known it since I took over the Chi family at the age of eighteen."
"You never thought of telling me?"
Chi Yuchuan looked at her and whispered, "I dare not."
"Don't you dare, or are you afraid that I won't believe you anymore after I know the truth?"
Chi Michuan was silent.
Rong Yin took a gentle breath, and his voice almost trembled: "Then tell me that you love me, is it also made up?"
He frowned and suddenly reached out and held her into his arms.
"Rong Yin, I lied to you, but loving you is never half false."
She didn't struggle, but didn't respond.
Chi Michuan put his chin on her shoulder, and his tone was softer than before:
"If you want to hate, just hate, but don't push me away. I will accompany you, investigate together, and pull the Chi family out of the darkness together.
Rong Yin said softly, "What if your father goes to jail and the Chi family goes bankrupt?"
He closed his eyes and said slowly:
"I admit it."
"As long as you are here, I can stand up even if the Chi family collapses." An anonymous account posted a data map on the whole network, with a sentence:
[Chi Yuchuan, the son of the Chi family, is also one of the suspects, whether he knows about his involvement in his father's crime.]
The whole network exploded.
Finance, entertainment, law, gossip... will push Chi Yuchuan to the forefront.
Rong Yin looked at the explosive article, and his heart suddenly sank.
Chi Michuan... was really forced into the most dangerous situation.
And she must make a decision--
Stand by his side, or reveal the whole truth.
