"What are you suspecting?" Jiang Ziyu snapped back to reality.
She rose from her chair and walked onto the balcony. The breeze seemed to clear her head.
Hearing the change in her voice, Mu Liangchen breathed a sigh of relief. "The hospital notified me that Di Mingjue is checking your past delivery records."
Her phone nearly slipped from her grasp. Jiang Ziyu couldn't believe it and pressed, "How? He couldn't possibly know about Xiao Ran and Yu Ze's existence."
"It's unclear at the moment, but one thing is certain: he's looking for you," Mu Liangchen said.
The two had met abroad years ago. Upon learning of Jiang Ziyu's past, Mu Liangchen personally helped her remain anonymous, including her delivery records and other relevant information.
However, Di Mingjue had many means, and what he wanted to know, he might eventually find out.
It seemed she couldn't stay in the capital for long.
"Liangchen, please keep a close eye on the hospital. I'll sort out my affairs as quickly as possible." Jiang Ziyu no longer pinned her hopes on Di Mingjue.
After ending the call, Jiang Ziyu contacted the housekeeper responsible for looking after Xiao Ran and Yu Ze. Learning that they were well and that no suspicious individuals had appeared recently, her anxious heart finally relaxed.
After a few extra instructions, Jiang Ziyu began to research the current situation of the Jiang Corporation.
She wouldn't have known if she hadn't investigated, but the moment she looked, she discovered the Jiang Corporation's clandestine dealings.
Was Di Mingjue's cooperation with the Jiang Corporation a ploy to lure the snakes out of their holes?
While she was contemplating this, Di Mingjue returned.
She put away her laptop and actively emerged from the room.
Since he was already suspicious, she decided to clear the air herself.
"You're back." Jiang Ziyu walked towards him naturally.
Noticing the blemishes on her face, Di Mingjue intentionally asked, "Your face didn't seem to have these before."
Before?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziyu didn't rush to respond. Instead, she cast a curious gaze upon his face.
"I've seen photos of you before, intimate photos with Sheng Yan," Di Mingjue said, his words filled with a hint of sourness.
When he saw Sheng Yan's arm around Jiang Ziyu's shoulders as she leaned into his embrace, he wished he could smash his phone.
It was Jiang Feifei again!
It seemed the reason for his suspicion was her in the photograph.
In front of him, Jiang Ziyu vigorously rubbed the blemishes on her face, "I got them from the sun while working. Plus, I had a severe allergic reaction recently, which made these spots more apparent."
Since even such forceful rubbing couldn't remove them, Di Mingjue felt it wasn't her.
If it truly were her, why would she intentionally hide her identity?
With that thought, Di Mingjue felt somewhat relieved.
As an unsettling presence, on one hand, he hoped Jiang Ziyu was the woman from back then so they could smoothly become a family. Yet, he also recalled that it was a contractual arrangement for children and feared that dredging up the past would embarrass her, causing her to flee his side.
Jiang Ziyu observed Di Mingjue's changing expressions, her mind gradually confirming her suspicions.
If the Jiang Corporation wasn't dealt with quickly, they would forever remain a ticking time bomb by her side.
"Does Di Jue Group absolutely need to cooperate with the Jiang Corporation?" Jiang Ziyu asked.
Looking up at her, Di Mingjue offered no response.
"I was just asking casually, I didn't mean anything else," Jiang Ziyu quickly added.
The Di Jue Group was vast and wealthy; whatever happened behind the scenes with the Jiang Corporation wouldn't significantly impact him.
In the same space, the two of them, with their unspoken thoughts, each kept their own secrets.
...
After Jiang Ziyu discovered that the Jiang Corporation was secretly involved in usury to operate the company, she had Mu Liangchen find the people behind the usurious loans and use a large sum of money to acquire their contract agreements.
Once the information was exposed, no company would cooperate with the Jiang Corporation at the risk of immense repercussions.
The moment she obtained the contracts, Jiang Ziyu didn't want to wait another minute and immediately made the contents public.
