Chapter 276 Her phone has evidence
I nodded, feeling a little more direction in my mind. Jiang Yichen reached out and took my hand, his voice low and firm: "Momo, don't worry, the truth will be revealed soon."
I felt the warmth of his hand, and the panic in my heart gradually subsided. I looked up at him, my eyes filled with gratitude: "Yichen, thank you. I really don't know what I would have done without you."
He gently patted the back of my hand and smiled slightly, saying, "Don't talk about these things, we've been through so much together."
A warm feeling welled up inside me. Yes, I'm not alone. I still have him, and I still have Xu Sisi and Xiaotiantian.
Just then, my phone vibrated. It was a message from Xu Sisi: "Momo, we've found some financial irregularities in the Jin family. Let's meet somewhere tomorrow to discuss it in detail."
I replied with "Okay," and then turned to Jiang Yichen and said, "Sisi and the others have found some clues and asked us to go with them tomorrow."
Jiang Yichen nodded: "Okay, we'll go over once Grandma's condition stabilizes."
I looked at my grandmother sleeping peacefully on the bed.
Then, I stood up and went outside to let Grandma rest by herself.
I know the road ahead won't be smooth, but as long as they're there, I have the courage to keep going. No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, I will uncover the truth and seek justice for my grandfather.
After washing up, I lay in bed, my heart filled with mixed emotions. I remembered what my grandmother had just told me: Lin Shu wasn't a bad person; she was forced into it. When she mentioned that the Jin family had kidnapped Lin Shu's son twenty years ago, her voice trembled violently, and her eyes were filled with helplessness and sorrow.
“Momo, Lin Shu… she was also a victim.” Grandma’s voice was weak, tinged with weariness. “Back then, the Jin family kidnapped her grandson to control her. She had no choice but to obey their orders and do many things against her will…”
Listening to my grandmother's words, I felt incredibly conflicted. I had always believed Lin Shu was an accomplice of the Jin family, and even harbored deep hatred for her. But now, my grandmother's words were shaking my opinion of her. I lowered my head, a hint of doubt and pity in my eyes, my mind a jumbled mess.
Just then, Jiang Yichen gently squeezed my hand. As soon as I looked up, I met his deep eyes. His gaze was gentle yet firm, as if telling me, "What are you thinking about? Pregnant women need to rest well."
My heart warmed, and I squeezed his hand back tightly. "It's okay."
He was still worried and whispered that he was afraid I was overworking myself.
After listening, I immediately prepared to get some rest.
The next day, Jiang Yichen went to work. Sisi told me that someone wanted to see me.
While I was having coffee with Sisi, the waiter suddenly whispered, "Ms. Gu, there is a Ms. Zhou outside who wants to see you."
I was taken aback. Ms. Zhou? Weren't you supposed to come in?
I turned to Xu Sisi and said, "Wait here for a moment, I'm going out for a bit."
She nodded and whispered, "Be careful, call me anytime if anything happens."
I walked out of the coffee shop and saw a well-dressed, elegant middle-aged woman standing in the corridor. She saw me, smiled slightly, and walked over: "You must be Gu Mo? I'm Aunt Zhou, Lin Shu's friend."
I was a little surprised; I hadn't expected her to appear so suddenly. Before I could even speak, Aunt Zhou continued, "I know you have many questions about Lin Shu right now, and I've come to tell you some things."
I watched her remain silent, gesturing for her to continue. Aunt Zhou sighed, her voice low: "Lin Shu hasn't had an easy time these past few years. Her grandson is controlled by the Jin family, and she has no choice but to work for them. But she's always felt guilty, especially about what happened to your grandfather. There's evidence on her phone."
As I listened to her words, my doubts were gradually replaced by a complex emotion. It turned out that Lin Shu wasn't as cold-hearted as I had imagined; she also had her own hardships.
Just then, my phone vibrated. It was Xu Sisi calling. I answered, and her voice, tinged with excitement, came through the receiver: "Momo, how's it going? We just found some new clues! A huge sum of money from the Jin family has recently flowed overseas, and the backgrounds of several companies they've been in contact with are very suspicious. I think this might be the breakthrough!"
As I listened to her report, I gradually gained a direction, but I whispered, "I'll talk about it later."
After hanging up the phone, I gripped it tightly, my fingers clenching slightly. My heart felt heavy, as if something was pressing down on it. Xu Sisi's voice still echoed in my ears, carrying a hint of barely concealed excitement.
I tried to calm myself down. Regardless of what Lin Shu had done in the past, the focus now was no longer on dwelling on past grievances, but on uncovering the truth about the Jin family. Grandpa's injustice, Grandma's helplessness, Lin Shu's predicament, and those innocent people manipulated by the Jin family... all of this needed to be resolved.
I turned to look at Aunt Zhou. Her eyes were gentle yet firm, as if she had already seen through my inner struggle. I said softly, "Ms. Zhou, thank you for telling me all this. I will continue to investigate and will definitely bring justice to everyone."
Aunt Zhou nodded slightly, a hint of relief flashing in her eyes. Her voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable strength: "Lin Shu knows you're investigating this matter. Although she's very resistant, there's definitely a way to get her to agree."
I was stunned for a moment, my heart filled with mixed emotions. Lin Shu's consent? This caught me off guard. Once, my hatred for her was almost ingrained in my bones; I considered her an accomplice of the Jin family, the culprit who caused my grandfather's imprisonment. But now, hearing her name, a complex and indescribable feeling welled up within me.
Perhaps she wasn't the enemy, but another victim.
My hostility towards Lin Shu gradually dissipated. Perhaps we were all just pawns manipulated by the Jin family, only she had fallen into this vortex earlier than me. After our conversation, I left.
"Momo!" Xu Sisi waved at me with an excited smile on her face.
I went over and sat down, and Little Sweetie immediately handed me a cup of hot coffee: "Have some, warm yourself up."
I took the coffee, took a sip, and felt the warm liquid slide down my throat, making me feel much more relaxed.
Xu Sisi eagerly turned on her computer, pointed to the data on the screen, and said, "We found that the Jin family recently had a huge sum of money flowed overseas, and the backgrounds of several companies they've been in contact with are very suspicious. I think this might be the breakthrough!"
I leaned closer for a closer look, and gradually a direction came to mind. I frowned slightly: "The legal representatives of these companies are all empty shells, and the flow of funds is also very secretive. The Jin family is indeed cunning."
