Chapter 208
At Rong City airport, a family of three disembarked from the plane. The driver had been waiting for them for some time.
Xu Xiuhe immediately called Liu Bo, instructing him to monitor various online messages and start managing relations for any mentions related to Shen Yin.
In the small group chat of the three suddenly rich and handsome brothers:
Chang Zhiyuan frantically tagged Xu Xiuhe, asking why he had returned so early and if something had happened at the company.
[It's not about the company.]
Xu Xiuhe didn't know how to tell Chang Zhiyuan about Shen Yin's situation. It wasn't an easy topic to discuss, and probably only he, the Shen family, and Yang Cui knew about Zhou Man's involvement.
[Tell us. Good brothers face difficulties together.]
[It's about some negative news from my wife's past.]
[Huh? Your wife didn't love you before? Your wife had mental health issues in the past?]
That was all Chang Zhiyuan knew.
[It might be more serious than that.]
Xu Xiuhe didn't want to reveal it, but Chang Zhiyuan worked in media and had professional methods for dealing with opinion.
[Even more serious?]
[Don't tell me your wife liked women before?]
...
[Wow, did I actually guess right? That's explosive.]
Chang Zhiyuan was originally sitting on the couch in Shu Yi's hospital room when he sent this message as a joke, but Xu Xiuhe didn't deny it.
Chang Zhiyuan slapped his own mouth, unable to believe that his casual remark had hit the mark.
He excitedly stood up from the couch.
"What's wrong, you..." Shu Yi asked, staring at Chang Zhiyuan's actions before she could finish her sentence.
"It's nothing, nothing." Chang Zhiyuan ran his hand through his hair.
Trying to calm himself down, he sat back on the couch.
[Not exactly. That woman deceived her. She was young at the time and couldn't distinguish her feelings. The woman was nice to her, but in reality, it was to scam her for money.]
[Damn, that's disgusting. Why didn't that woman go scam men instead?]
[How do you know she didn't scam men? She's now the wife of Guo Wei in Pei City.]
Sitting on the couch, Chang Zhiyuan felt like he had just watched an exciting drama unfold. There's no shortage of gossip these days, but something this juicy happening to someone he knew was a first.
[Guo Wei isn't a good person.]
[That woman sent a message to my wife, asking her to transfer money, or else she'd expose their relationship.]
[What the hell? Is this woman crazy? It's ancient history, and now she's coming out asking for money? She must have some serious issues.]
[So how are you handling it?]
Xue Jingrui suddenly chimed in.
[We're doing PR work to prevent the news from leaking. If it gets out, online opinion will be uncontrollable. Many people still can't accept these things.]
[Alright, I'll have someone keep an eye on it. But to completely control the situation, we need to find the source. Find that scammer.]
Xu Xiuhe naturally knew this, which was why he had rushed back to Rong City from far-away Yun City.
Xu Xiuhe dropped off Shen Yin and Xu Yunzheng at Ziyue Manor, then drove to the company himself.
"CEO, why are you back?" Liu Bo, holding some documents, had just left the office when he saw Xu Xiuhe coming out of the elevator.

"Come to my office."
Liu Bo didn't ask further and followed Xu Xiuhe into the office.
"CEO."
"Can you contact some private investigators?"
"Of course. With money, we can contact anyone."
"Get in touch with several. Have them come over this afternoon. There's no negative news online, right?"
"No, none at all."
After Liu Bo left, Xu Xiuhe called Shen Yin.
"Hey, I won't be coming back for lunch. If that woman sends you any more messages, let me know immediately."
This issue was indeed tricky. Xu Xiuhe was worried Zhou Man might do something, so he had already arranged for increased security around Ziyue Manor. freewebnøvel.com
In the afternoon, several private investigators arrived at the reception room of Heyuan Group.
"The job is in Pei City. Anyone uncomfortable with going there?"
Xu Xiuhe asked.
The investigators in black clothing remained silent. Pei City was just next to Rong City, not far at all. As detectives, there was nowhere they couldn't go. Moreover, the client for this job was the CEO of Heyuan Group, so the pay would certainly be good.
They weren't fools. How could they pass up an opportunity to make money?
"If no one objects, let's start investigating this person."
Xu Xiuhe took out a previous photo of Zhou Man.
"I want to see all detailed information about this person. Her parents, her family, her various romantic histories. At the same time, these investigation results can only be seen by me. The compensation won't be low."
The investigators immediately expressed that they could set out at any time.
Xu Xiuhe sat on the couch, twisting the ring on his middle finger. After pondering for a while, he got up, drove back to Ziyue Manor.
"It's nothing, give me your phone," Xu Xiuhe said.
Shen Yin didn't know why Xu Xiuhe wanted her phone, but she knew this man always had his reasons for whatever he did.
The man took the phone and sat on the couch, holding Shen Yin's phone and navigating to the messages page.
The page still only showed that one message Zhou Man had sent, along with a bank account number.
"You're not going to send her money, are you?"
Shen Yin asked.
"Your husband isn't stupid or a sucker."
Xu Xiuhe typed for a few minutes, then returned the phone to Shen Yin.
[Try it. You think just because you have something, I don't have anything on you?]
Shen Yin read the message, then looked at Xu Xiuhe.
"Isn't that too risky?" Shen Yin asked.
"She probably doesn't have any substantial evidence, or she would have released it already. Now we need to intimidate her a bit. She can't be completely clean; at the very least, fraud counts as one charge."
"Do you have a plan?"
"Yes. She probably won't dare to act rashly now. I've already had people gathering information on her. During this time, try not to go out as much as possible."
"Alright, that's fine."
Going out or not didn't matter much to her. She could stay indoors for a whole month if needed.
"If you get bored, you can come with me to the company."
"I'm not bored!"
"You really don't want to be with me that much?"
"What would I do at your company? Wouldn't that be even more boring?"
"Daddy, Zhengzheng wants to go!" Xu Yunzheng, who had been intently watching TV, moved to Xu Xiuhe's side and pleaded coquettishly after hearing their conversation.
"Then ask your mom. If mom's willing to go, Zhengzheng can come to the company with daddy."
Hearing this, Xu Yunzheng moved next to Shen Yin and hugged her arm. His eyes blinked repeatedly.
"Mom, Mommy."
"Yes, dear."
"Zhengzheng loves Mommy."
"Mommy loves Zhengzheng too."
Shen Yin surely knew what Zhengzheng was thinking, but she deliberately didn't say it out loud.
"Will Mommy take Zhengzheng to find Daddy?"
"Isn't Daddy right beside Zhengzheng?" Shen Yin teased.
"Zhengzheng means to always be by Daddy's side."
