At three o'clock in the morning, the lights in the city are still on.
Rong Yin sat in the study, and the documents she spread out were records of her mother's old case.
One of the pages contained a letter, dated three years ago, and the recipient was Lin Zhiyuan.
Her fingertips trembled.
Sure enough, the Lin family not only knew about her mother's imprisonment, but also most likely participated in the tampering of evidence.
And after that storm, she once thought that Lin Zhiyuan was really "helpless".
She was so stupid.
**
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Rong Yin appeared at the group headquarters as usual, with a calm expression, but in fact, murderous intent had already surged in her heart.
She knew that this was a war without gunpowder.
The appearance of Lin Zhiyuan was not just a simple rekindling of old love.
The people behind him had already used her as a pawn, pushing her step by step into Chi Yuchuan's heart.
**
In the afternoon, an anonymous letter of complaint was sent from the core senior management of the group.
The content was: Chi was suspected of commercial money laundering many years ago, and the mastermind was the current president Chi Yuchuan, and the evidence was in Rongyin's hands.
The storm broke out instantly, and the board of directors was shaken.
At this moment, Rongyin was outside the president's office.
The secretary looked at her with a complicated expression: "Chi is waiting for you."
She pushed the door open.
The man sat behind the desk, wearing a straight suit and a cold expression.
"Tell me, did you bring back Lin Zhiyuan's "evidence" after meeting him?"
Rongyin looked at him: "Do you suspect me?"
Chi Yuchuan's eyes were calm, as calm as if he had dissected her.
"It's not suspicion, it's judgment."
"Rongyin, I have turned off the surveillance on you."
"So now, I will believe whatever you say."
"But if you tell a lie, I will never believe it again."
**
The air was silent for a moment.
Rong Yin walked slowly towards him, took out a USB flash drive and a file bag, and put them on the table with a snap.
"I got what you wanted."
"It's not that I doubt you, but I want to find out who has used me for so many years."
"Do you think I'm just looking for the truth?"
She looked into his eyes: "No, I'm clearing my name."
Chi Yuchuan was stunned.
Her expression was stubborn and sober, like a knife, piercing his heart.
He finally understood that she didn't disbelieve him.
She would no longer allow herself to be influenced by anyone.
Including him.
**
Late at night, Lin Zhiyuan stood on the balcony of the hotel, looking at the "failed plan" briefing he had just received, with a sneer on his face.
"Rong Yin... she still chose him."
"What a pity."
Behind him, the second uncle of the Chi family walked out of the shadows with a sinister look.
"Since Rongyin refuses to change sides, let her pay the price."
"Since she cares so much about Chi Yuchuan, then - destroy Chi Yuchuan."
**
At the same time.
Rongyin backed up all the data copied from the USB flash drive in two copies, one to the lawyer and one in an offline encrypted server.
She is no longer the girl who was deceived by someone's words.
She wants to protect not only herself, but also Chi Yuchuan.
Maybe they had a rift.
But she knew that Chi Yuchuan was not a bad person.
He would not harm her mother, nor would he put her in an unjust situation.
He was the person she had cried countless times at night but was reluctant to let go.
That kind of feeling has long been deeply rooted in her bones and blood.
**
At four o'clock in the morning, she gently pushed open the door of Chi Yuchuan's bedroom.
The man was still sleeping soundly, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be in a restless dream.
Rongyin slowly approached and sat by the bed.
She whispered, "Chi Yuchuan, I believe you."
"Even if the whole world says you are wrong, I will pull you back."
The man opened his eyes slightly, his eyes were tired, but they became clear the moment she approached.
"Rong Yin..."
She covered his hand: "Let's tear the truth together, okay?"
He didn't say anything, just reached out and pulled her into his arms.
At that moment, all his defenses finally collapsed completely.
She is back.
Really back.
**
And the crisis has just begun.
