Zhan Mohan stroked Wei Yumeng's hair to comfort her. "I know, if something like this happened to you, I would probably be even more uneasy afterward, and might even lose control."
"But Mohan, though I'm about to say something you won't want to hear, there is indeed something wrong with this Chen Yutong."
As Wei Yumeng spoke, she felt conflicted. She wasn't sure if telling Zhan Mohan this was good or bad. If this woman, Chen Yutong, really caused problems between Zhan Mohan and Zhan Yangyi, things would only become more complicated.
However, given what Zhan Mohan had gone through, it was impossible for him not to have noticed that something was amiss.
"Yes, you're right, but our current situation is very awkward," Zhan Mohan said, also frowning.
Wei Yumeng naturally agreed. Just as she had worried before, they were in no position to tell Zhan Yangyi the truth. But if they let things continue this way, who knew what would happen.
Then, Wei Yumeng reconsidered. Mu Linjing had already told Zhan Yangyi about the matter before, but Zhan Yangyi clearly hadn't taken it seriously. That's why Chen Yutong continued to act this way.
This also implied, indirectly, that even if Zhan Yangyi heard about this, he might not believe it.
Just as Wei Yumeng was at a loss, Zhan Mohan spoke, "He really should know about this, but in another way."
Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan, knowing he must have his own plan. All she could do now was trust him.
Jing Yan looked at the villa before him and couldn't help but sigh. He had told Wei Yumeng to call him if anything happened, but he hadn't expected things to escalate so quickly and so seriously.
This was Zhan Yangyi's home, and his destination this time. His mission was to casually inform Zhan Yangyi about the earring.
When he had received this request, he had asked why they didn't just tell Zhan Yangyi directly. Zhan Mohan had said that if he told him plainly, he might not believe it. However, if he provided certain clues, Zhan Yangyi would investigate and gradually uncover the truth himself, which would be much more credible.
Jing Yan shrugged, knowing he could only follow Zhan Mohan's instructions.
He pressed the doorbell, and after a moment, a butler opened the door and let him in.
Zhan Yangyi, dressed in simple homewear, was reading in the living room. He stood up upon seeing Jing Yan.
"Mr. Zhan, Mr. Zhan sent me to check on you," Jing Yan said.
This made Zhan Yangyi a bit embarrassed. "I only mentioned feeling a bit unwell. I didn't expect Mohan to remember and send you all this way."
Jing Yan replied tactfully, "Mr. Zhan, please don't be polite. It's my duty. I'm the family doctor for the Zhan family. Since you are Mr. Zhan's elder brother, it is naturally within my scope of responsibility."
Zhan Yangyi nodded. Although he had met Jing Yan before, and the occasion had been somewhat awkward, he found he didn't dislike Jing Yan this time.
Jing Yan took out his diagnostic equipment and began various examinations on Zhan Yangyi, while also inquiring about his condition.
"What are Mr. Zhan's working hours recently?"
"Sometimes eight hours, sometimes longer, nearly twelve hours."
"Have you participated in any banquets recently?"
Zhan Yangyi thought for a moment. "No, my partners are very disciplined and usually don't force me to drink."
Hearing this, Jing Yan knew his opportunity had arrived.
"It seems Mr. Zhan's partners are much more sensible," Jing Yan said, putting on a troubled expression. "To be honest, Mr. Zhan got very drunk a few days ago. I had to pick him up from the hotel."
Zhan Yangyi was a bit surprised by this. "In my impression, he doesn't seem like the type to get drunk."
"Indeed, I found it hard to believe as well. However, according to Miss Chen, who was with Mr. Zhan at the time, Mr. Zhan had no choice but to drink a lot because that partner was a heavy drinker."
"Miss Chen?" Zhan Yangyi blinked. He couldn't be sure if he was mistaken, or if this Miss Chen was indeed Chen Yutong.
But he couldn't directly ask, as it would make him seem overly concerned.
"Mr. Zhan, have your legs ever been injured?"
While Zhan Yangyi was lost in thought, Jing Yan changed the subject.
"Yes, I was in a car accident before."
Jing Yan nodded. "Although the injury seems to have mostly healed, you should still take good care of it."
After the examination, Jing Yan stood up and packed his equipment.
"Mr. Zhan, you can rest assured, there are no major problems with your health. You just need to adjust your working hours and find a balance between work and rest; that's the best way to live."
"Thank you for coming today."
Jing Yan smiled and handed Zhan Yangyi a business card. "You're welcome. Here's my card with my phone number. If you feel unwell in the future, you can contact me directly."
As Jing Yan was about to leave, he turned around, and something fell from his trouser pocket. Jing Yan, however, seemed unaware.
Zhan Yangyi stepped forward to pick it up, only to find it was something he was all too familiar with – Chen Yutong's earring. But how could it be with Jing Yan?
"Wait." Zhan Yangyi's polite demeanor vanished completely, his tone turning cold.
Jing Yan was startled by Zhan Yangyi's abruptness. He turned to face him. "Mr. Zhan, is there anything else?"
"Where did you get this earring?" Zhan Yangyi's tone was interrogative, making Jing Yan feel somewhat overwhelmed.
"This..."
"Speak!"
The more Jing Yan hesitated, the angrier Zhan Yangyi became.
"Mr. Zhan, I can tell you what happened, but can you promise not to tell Mr. Zhan?" Jing Yan asked cautiously, as if genuinely afraid of Zhan Mohan knowing.
Zhan Yangyi considered for a moment and nodded slightly. "Alright."
"Actually, it's like this. The other day, I went to the hotel to pick up Mr. Zhan. Mr. Zhan was with Miss Chen at the time, that famous model Chen Yutong. Although I felt Mr. Zhan was drunk and unconscious and wouldn't do anything, I found this earring in Mr. Zhan's coat."
At this point, Jing Yan thought he heard the sound of Zhan Yangyi's knuckles cracking – a sign of him clenching his fist in anger.
"And then?"
Jing Yan continued, "Because I was worried it would affect Mr. Zhan's relationship with his wife, I took it upon myself to take the earring. I almost forgot about it later, so it accidentally fell out here."
