Chapter 418 The sound of heartbreak
"Mr. Yan, long time no see. How have you been recently?" Lin Ze's hypocritical greeting came from the other end of the phone. Yan Jin's fingers holding the phone suddenly tightened, and his nails turned white.
"If you have something to say, just say it." Yan Jin said coldly, without a trace of warmth in his tone.
"That's straightforward. You are worthy of being Mr. Yan." Lin Ze chuckled. "I heard that Yan's is developing a new project recently. I happen to have some resources, so maybe I can help."
Yan Jin knew very well that Lin Ze contacted her on his own initiative and there was no way he had any good intentions. However, out of caution, she still asked calmly, "What resources?"
Lin Ze pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice, throwing out the bait: "This project requires a special material that is hard to find on the market. I know a few suppliers..."
Yan Jin did not respond, but just listened to Lin Ze describing the so-called "resources" and sneered in his heart. His wishful thinking was nothing more than to use Yan's channels to make huge profits.
After hanging up the phone, Yan Jin immediately asked someone to investigate the "resources" that Lin Ze mentioned. As expected, everything was a scam he had carefully planned. Yan Jin rubbed his eyebrows, feeling exhausted.
On the other hand, Xiang Yu had to work overtime overnight because of company matters. When he returned to the office, he found a document left on the coffee table. It was the project information that Yan Jin was in charge of.
For some unknown reason, he picked up the document and started flipping through it. The more he read, the tighter his brows furrowed, and his face became gloomier. The document contained some email records, and the sender was Lin Ze. The content of the email was about the details of the project cooperation. Some of the obscure wording clearly pointed to commercial fraud.
Xiang Yu felt a surge of anger rushing to his head. He slammed the document shut. The scene of Yan Jin and Lin Ze chatting and laughing emerged in his mind. It was as if his heart was pierced by a sharp blade, and the building of trust collapsed in an instant.
He picked up his phone and called his assistant. His tone was icy cold: "Give me all the information about the cooperation project between Lin Ze and Yan's, and..."
He paused, the veins popping out of his hand holding the phone, and he spoke word by word: "All the evidence related to Yan Jin, check it out for me!"
Yan Jin put down her phone, took a deep breath, and tried to keep herself calm. Lin Ze's sinister intentions were obvious, and she had to find evidence to prove her innocence as soon as possible.
"Jinjin, don't worry, we will find out everything." Chen's best friend held Yan Jin's hand and gave her strength. "Lin Ze is a despicable villain, I will never let him go!"
Yan Jin nodded, with a determined light in his eyes: "I will definitely find out the truth and will not let him succeed."
They immediately took action, retrieved surveillance videos, looked for witnesses, and collected all the evidence that could prove Yan Jin's innocence. However, as time passed, their efforts seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, with no progress.
On the other hand, Xiang Yu was already in deep suspicion and anger. The investigation materials sent by his assistant were like huge rocks, weighing him down. Those photos, emails, and records all proved the "close relationship" between Yan Jin and Lin Ze.
"Impossible, this is impossible..." Xiang Yu muttered to himself. He didn't want to believe that Yan Jin, who had always been independent, strong, calm and rational in front of him, would do such a thing.
However, the facts were before his eyes, and he had no choice but to believe it. He closed his eyes in pain, and his mind kept replaying every detail of their past. Those sweet memories now turned into sharp blades, cutting his heart mercilessly.
"Get a divorce."
When Xiang Yu said these three words, Yan Jin's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, almost suffocating.
"Why?" she asked in a trembling voice, trying to hold back the tears in her eyes.
"No reason." Xiang Yu turned his head away, not daring to look into her eyes. "There is no trust between us anymore, and there is no need to continue this marriage."
"No, it's not like that..." Yan Jin shook her head desperately. She wanted to explain, wanted to tell him that she was framed, but looking at Xiang Yu's cold eyes, all the words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.
"I will ask a lawyer to draft a divorce agreement and you can sign it." After Xiang Yu said this, he turned and left without any hesitation.
Yan Jin fell weakly on the sofa, tears finally bursting out. Despair overwhelmed her like a tide.
At this time, Chen's best friend finally discovered Lin Ze's real purpose - he wanted to swallow up the Yan family!
"Mr. Xiang, listen to me, all of this is Lin Ze's conspiracy, he..." Chen's girlfriend took the evidence in her hand and wanted to explain it to Xiang Yu. However, before she could finish, she was interrupted by Xiang Yu's cold voice:
"That's enough! Stop making up excuses for her!"
Chen's girlfriend looked at Xiang Yu in disbelief. This once shrewd and wise man seemed to be blinded at this moment and refused to believe any truth. "Mr. Xiang, I guarantee with my character that Jin Jin was definitely wronged! Lin Ze..."
"That's enough!" Xiang Yu stood up suddenly and interrupted Chen's girlfriend, his tone was icy and piercing, "At this point, do you still want to continue making up lies for her? She and you are just birds of a feather!"
Chen's girlfriend's hands fell down weakly, and the documents in her hands fell to the ground, just like her broken heart. She never thought that her good intentions would be exchanged for such humiliation and questioning.
Yan Jin had been standing outside the door, and heard the conversation between the two clearly. Despair wrapped around her heart like a vine, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. She had thought that the love between them was indestructible, but she had never expected that it would be so vulnerable in the face of suspicion and doubt.
She pushed the door open, walked into the room, and looked at Xiang Yu calmly, without tears or pleading, but with endless disappointment and determination. "Xiang Yu, you want a divorce, I agree."
Xiang Yu felt a pain in his heart, but forced himself not to look at her hurt eyes. "Very good, I hope you can do what you said."
"But," Yan Jin paused, and said firmly, "I have one condition."
Xiang Yu frowned, "What conditions?"
"Give me a month," Yan Jin looked him straight in the eye and said word by word, "I will prove my innocence and let you see Lin Ze's true face!"
Xiang Yu sneered, "One month? Do you think you still have time?"
"Whether I have time or not, you will know in a month." Yan Jin didn't look at him again, turned and left, his back resolute and aloof.
Xiang Yu was the only one left in the room. He looked at the empty doorway, feeling lost. The disappointment and determination in Yan Jin's eyes were engraved in his mind like a brand, lingering. Was he really wrong? But were those evidences and photos all fake?
One month is neither long nor short. Yan Jin knew that this would be a tough battle, but she had no way out. She had to win, for herself and for their love.
She began to investigate Lin Ze's background in depth, like an invisible net that slowly tightened, and the prey in the center of the net gradually revealed its ferocious fangs...
"What did you say? You mean, you found evidence of Lin Ze's financial transactions with overseas funds?!" Chen's best friend's voice became sharp because of shock, and she looked at the computer screen in front of her in disbelief.
"Hush..." Yan Jin's face was solemn, motioning her to lower her voice, his fingers quickly tapping the keyboard, the code on the screen pouring down like a waterfall, "Don't worry, it's not over yet, things are more complicated than we thought..."
