Xinwan gripped the phone tightly in her palm. Her entire body was icy cold, and the heavy feeling in her chest was like a ferocious tidal wave that kept assaulting her. Her throat was a little dry, and the taste in her throat was bitter.
What is this?
Tong Xinwan, what are you upset about? What's there to be upset about?
Wen Han-woo, Wen Han-woo.
He's speaking to you in such a proper manner. Why are you venting your anger on him?
Her body couldn't help but go weak. She leaned against the door and slowly slid down to the floor. She hugged her knees with both hands and buried her face in them.
…
When Wen Hanyu returned to the condominium, it was already almost nine in the evening. Tong Yanyu was still sitting in the living room, waiting. The auntie stood by the side, carefully accompanying him. As soon as he heard the door open, Tong Yanyu jumped up from the sofa. However, when he saw the figure changing his shoes at the entrance, there was only a tall and straight male figure. The anticipation in the little guy's eyes immediately disappeared.
"Why isn't mom coming? She even said that she's going to pick me up today. "
Wen Han-woo changed into his slippers and walked into the living room. He casually threw the car keys on the coffee table and glanced at the auntie who nodded at him in greeting. He waved his hand and gestured for her to go back and rest. When he turned his head, he saw the disappointed look on his son's face.
He was already very upset, so he wasn't in the mood to comfort him. However, he still patiently adjusted his trousers and squatted down. "Xiao Yu, your mom has something to deal with, so she won't be coming over today. You can go back and rest now. Have you showered?"
Tong Yanyu stubbornly turned his face away. He didn't seem to believe Wen Han-woo's words because Family Wen had forcefully locked him up for a few days and didn't allow him to see his mother.
"I'm not lying to you."
Wen Han-woo was not in the mood to deal with him. After some thought, he said, "How about this? Go to bed obediently today. After school tomorrow evening, I'll send you to your grandparents' place, okay?"
Tong Yanyu's tiny eyebrows twitched slightly, and the expression on his face changed from dark to cloudy. He was clearly moved by Wen Han-woo's suggestion. But the little guy is crazy.
She was very cautious. After hesitating for a moment, she stretched out her little finger and hooked it at Wen Han-woo's delicate features. "You can't lie to me, okay? Let's make a pinky promise first. You don't have much credibility with me. "
Wen Han-woo raised an eyebrow. "Not very trustworthy? Why do you say that? "
"Uncle, you must have forgotten, right? Previously, when we were at Grandpa's house, I secretly helped you bring it into my mother's room. You should have gotten something from it too. Didn't you remember my contribution? But other than yelling at me when my mother wasn't around, you didn't give me any benefits. "
The haze in Wen Hanyu's heart seemed to have dissipated by more than half. He reached out his hand and gently stroked his eyebrows. He smiled and said, "Do you know why I was so fierce to you? This is the difference between an uncle and a father. "
"Whenever you call me 'father', I'll treat you like a father. If you keep calling me 'uncle', then I'll treat you like an uncle."
Tong Yanyu snorted. "Are you trying to trick me? I'm not stupid. I've said it before. Whenever you call my mother 'wife', I'll call you 'father'. Don't think that I'll fall for it! I can't let my mother make a losing deal, but I can consider letting my mother do a buy-one-get-one-free deal. "
Wen Han-woo casually chatted with his son for a while, and his mood improved. In the end, he coaxed his son to obediently rest by promising to send him back to the Family Jiang the next day.
He went into his room and took a shower. When he came out, he was holding a dry towel in one hand. He wiped his wet hair and went straight to the study. He took out the contract with the Jiang Group and read it carefully. After confirming that there were no problems, he gave Chen Fangfei a call.
Since she had been his chief secretary for many years, of course she knew why Wen Han-woo called her at this time.
Chen Fangfei said directly, "CEO Wen, I've already asked around about Jiang Youyi. He's inside right now, but he doesn't admit to his crime. He said that his assistant signed the contract with another company without his consent. However, his assistant said something else. CEO Wen, you might have seen that person before. He's the person in charge of the Jiang Group's project. His name is Li Jun. He's someone that Jiang Youyi trusts. He told the people in the economic investigation team that he had conspired with Jiang Youyi to come up with this plan, including the fact that he had been investigated. He said that Jiang Youyi had taken two billion yuan, but only gave him fifty million yuan. He had been the scapegoat. Originally, he had wanted him to 'abscond' and donate the money, then give the rest of the money to Jiang Youyi. However, he felt that Jiang Youyi was too black-hearted. She only gave him a small amount of two billion yuan. Moreover, he had to bear such a crime, so he revealed the whole thing. "
Wen Han-woo held his phone with one hand and his laptop with the other.
The man's slender fingers tapped lightly on the laptop screen. Looking at the information that popped up on the screen, he frowned. In the quiet space, his deep voice sounded more solid. "Investigate that Li Jun again. Find out who his family members are, who he met before the incident, and his bank card information. Find out everything."
He paused and suddenly asked, "Do you know who the person in charge of the economic investigation team is?"
Chen Fangfei probably didn't expect Wen Han-woo to be so concerned.
Actually, this was the Jiang Group's matter. To put it bluntly, the Wen Group was the one that was at a disadvantage. However, if Wen Han-woo rashly helped Jiang Youyi at this time, it was very likely that he would be slandered by people with ulterior motives.
This industry wasn't clean to begin with. The Wen Group had been the leading company in City B for so many years. It wasn't that no one had coveted this position. It wasn't that no one didn't want to overthrow the Family Wen and Wen Han-woo. It was just a matter of whether or not they had the opportunity and ability.
Of course, she believed in her boss's ability. Not everyone could act rashly. However, the current situation was still rather sensitive. If they weren't careful, others might accuse them of colluding. After all, the Wen Group and the Jiang Group used to have a "business marriage" in the past.
Chen Fangfei thought about it and said very cautiously, "CEO Wen, regarding this matter, wouldn't it be better for us to watch from the sidelines?"
Wen Han-woo's index finger just happened to tap on a corner of the laptop screen. The moment he heard this, his finger gently swiped and the touchscreen instantly sensed it. He didn't know where he tapped, but Jiang Youyi's personal information suddenly popped up on the screen. The man's gaze shifted and saw his daughter's section. It was a beautiful photo with three words below. He was no stranger to it. At this moment, he looked at it carefully and seriously —
Tong Xinwan.
He repeated it in his heart.
Beside it was an introduction about her, which year of birth, her identity, and her marriage. There was probably no time to edit it. On her husband's section, there were three words — Wen Han-woo.
The man's gaze deepened as he stared at the word "husband". There were countless emotions that he couldn't control rolling in his heart.
"CEO Wen? CEO Wen? "
Chen Fangfei didn't receive a reply from Wen Han-woo for a long time. She was even worried that there was something wrong with her phone, so she called a few more times. Just as she was about to hang up and call again, she heard a calm male voice.
"Go and find out who is in charge of this case from the economic investigation department. Also, find out Li Jun's information clearly."
Before hanging up, Chen Fangfei heard him say emotionlessly, "Secretary Chen, it's been hard on you tonight."
Chen Fangfei held her phone and complained incessantly — Grandpa Wen, do you mean that I have to arrange everything you need tonight?
Seriously — You have the opposite sex, but you have no humanity! …
Xinwan didn't rest well the entire night. In fact, she didn't sleep in her own room for the latter half of the night. She was afraid that Tong Qing Meng would let her imagination run wild when she was alone at night. Her mother's health hadn't been particularly good in recent years, so she went to sleep in the same room as Tong Qing Meng.
The mother and daughter had been so close to each other for too long. Tong Qing Meng asked her faintly, "Wanwan, have you ever hated your mother?"
Xinwan's mind was in a mess at that time, but when she heard this sentence, she immediately retorted, "Mom, why should I hate you?"
"We seem to have had too much, but actually, we're not as good as before. Wanwan, you've sacrificed too much for your mother and grandmother. I want you to be happy now, but I always feel powerless. Now that something has happened to your father, I feel like I'm out of my wits. "
Xinwan didn't know what she was thinking at that time. She blurted out, "Mom, do you love Dad very much?"
However, this question was like a stone sinking into the sea. Tong Qing Meng didn't answer her.
Later, she heard her mother's even breathing. She thought that her mother must be too tired and fell asleep just like that.
When she woke up in the morning, Tong Qing Meng was no longer in bed. Xinwan took a thin jacket and put it on. After washing up, she went downstairs. She happened to hear Tong Qing Meng talking on the phone in the living room.
"Xiao Zhu, I know this matter is a little tricky now. How about this? Can you contact the people from the economic investigation department? At least let me meet Youyi first. What did you say? Okay, I'll get a lawyer in the afternoon. "
Xinwan knew that the "Xiao Zhu" her mother was talking about was her father's secretary. She didn't know what the secretary said, but Tong Qing Meng's expression didn't look optimistic. After hanging up, she turned around and saw Xinwan coming downstairs.
"Wanwan, you're up?"
"Mom, don't worry about this. Actually, I did some research last night. Although commercial fraud is a little troublesome, it's not like there's no other way. Let me handle it, okay?"
Xinwan thought about it. Since it was a divorce and custody case, if it wasn't convenient to contact Tan Ji, she could at least contact him about her father's matter. Under such circumstances, it was naturally easier to find someone she was familiar with. "I know a lawyer. I'll go out and contact him later. Dad hasn't done it before. He'll be fine."
Tong Qing Meng couldn't be at ease. She lost her composure and fell onto the sofa. "I don't know what Family Wen is thinking. If no one steps forward in this situation, your father will be in danger. Wanwan … "
She was a little embarrassed to continue, but how could Xinwan not know what her mother was thinking?
She pursed her lips and tried her best to comfort her mother. "Mom, I know what you want to say to me. Don't worry. I'll look for Wen Han-woo. I've said before that I won't let anything happen to Dad."
