When Wei Yumeng arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Zhan Mohan was already waiting for her outside.
"Mohan, where are Lin Jing and Yichen?" Wei Yumeng asked anxiously.
Zhan Mohan merely glanced indifferently towards the Civil Affairs Bureau, his mood clearly not good.
Wei Yumeng couldn't bother with anything else and rushed in with her voice recorder.
All she wanted now was to believe that she could still make it in time. She knew too well how much Mu Linjing loved Zhan Yichen.
She truly didn't want to see such a beautiful couple, being forced to separate because of such a slander.
"Have you two made up your minds? Being together is your destiny. Do you really want to give up this marriage?"
The staff member asked again.
Mu Linjing's hands were still trembling, and she was still holding Zhan Yichen's hand tightly.
Zhan Yichen's eyes were also filled with sadness as he held Mu Linjing's hand back firmly.
In the eyes of the staff, these two did not look like a couple who would go so far as to divorce.
However, this situation only lasted for a short while before Mu Linjing was the first to let go of Zhan Yichen's hand.
"I've decided," she said slowly, her voice heavy.
Zhan Yichen's eyes were also filled with disappointment, "Mm, let's divorce."
The staff member sighed and picked up the stamp on the table. Once this stamp was pressed, everything would become final.
Just as the stamp was about to be pressed down, a voice interrupted the staff member's action.
"Wait! You can't divorce!" Wei Yumeng ran over, panting, "You don't need to divorce anymore. The truth is out. Please believe me."
The staff member even let out a sigh of relief.
As she watched the three of them leave, she waved at them cordially.
In her eyes, this couple had probably encountered some insurmountable difficulty that forced them apart, rather than genuinely wanting to divorce.
Although they returned to Wei Yumeng's house together, the atmosphere remained heavy.
Wei Yumeng spoke first, "I've obtained Huang Yinghua's recording. He personally admitted that he never had any relations with Yichen. Everything was fake."
As she spoke, she pressed the play button.
When the recording finished playing, Mu Linjing looked at Zhan Yichen, unsure of how to react.
"Yichen, I… I…" Mu Linjing now wished she could slap herself.
Wei Yumeng had clearly told her before they left that she would get a crucial recording that would reveal the truth.
Yet, she had insisted on her own way, leading to this farce.
Zhan Yichen simply held her tightly in his arms, "It's all right now. As long as everything is clear."
But Mu Linjing suddenly remembered, "Right, the reason I did that was because I received a call. The caller said he was Yichen's boyfriend, and that's when I…"
Thinking of this, Mu Linjing's sadness turned into anger. No matter who was behind this, she was determined to make them pay.
She, Mu Linjing, was never one to be bullied.
Wei Yumeng continued, "Now we can confirm that everything that happened before was fake. We just need to confront Huang Yinghua to find out why he did it."
But as soon as she finished speaking, a knock sounded at the door.
When the door was opened, Fang Xun entered, dragging Huang Yinghua with him.
Huang Yinghua, unaware that he was about to face misfortune, looked at everyone with a shameless expression.
"Mr. Zhan, and Young Master Zhan, what brings you to invite me for a gathering today?"
Mu Linjing stood up abruptly, "Who wants to gather with you? We've already figured it out. Just honestly tell us, who instructed you to do that?"
"That? My memory is poor, and I don't remember doing anything to wrong you."
"Is that so?" Zhan Mohan sneered, "Remember what you just said. You'll soon pay the price for your words."
Huang Yinghua's body stiffened involuntarily. It was only then that he realized something was terribly wrong.
Wei Yumeng stepped forward and said to him, "We have found evidence proving that what happened between you and Yichen before was fake. What was your purpose in doing this?"
"Don't try to trick me. You say you have evidence, so you have evidence? I don't believe it."
Wei Yumeng had no choice but to play the recording for him again in front of him.
This time, Huang Yinghua's legs finally gave out, and he knelt on the ground.
"How could you possibly get that recording?" Just as he finished speaking, Shang Hong, whom they had met that day, spoke up, "So… you were in on it together."
Zhan Yichen said coldly, "Can you tell us now who instructed you to do this?"
"I…" Huang Yinghua seemed hesitant.
Zhan Mohan glared at him, and only then did he say, "You guessed wrong. No one instructed me to do this. I did this because I simply couldn't stand your Zhan family."
Huang Yinghua spoke with indignation, "Our Huang family has a history of several decades in Pengcheng. Our reputation here should have been getting better and better. But it's all due to the suppression by your Zhan family that businesses like ours can't get ahead. Perhaps you don't know, but our family's business is on the verge of collapse."
Hearing this, Wei Yumeng found it strange. Chai Yanyu had mentioned earlier that their Chai Group seemed interested in cooperating with Yinghua Technology. Yinghua Technology didn't seem like it was at its end.
However, she didn't voice her doubts and continued to listen to Huang Yinghua's explanation.
"I did this so that others would know that besides your Zhan family, there is also our Yinghua Technology in Pengcheng. You can't just control everything."
Huang Yinghua spoke with such sincerity that it didn't seem like he was lying.
Zhan Mohan frowned upon hearing this. If the Zhan Group he managed was indeed in such a situation, he would have to seriously reflect on it. After all, to be a good enterprise, one shouldn't suppress other small and medium-sized businesses.
But in reality, there were many loopholes in Huang Yinghua's words. Although the Zhan Group could indeed control everything in Pengcheng, they currently had no concrete project goals in the field of electronic technology, let alone suppressing other electronic companies.
Even so, no matter how much Zhan Mohan questioned him, Huang Yinghua's words showed no sign of changing.
"Since you've found out, I have nothing more to say. The victor wins, the vanquished loses. I'm willing to pay the price for what I've done." Huang Yinghua's expression was one of resolute acceptance of his fate.
Zhan Mohan, however, thought for a moment and said, "Are you so sure that I will only deal with you? You keep saying this is for Yinghua Technology, but have you considered that my Zhan Group can control everything, and it's very easy to destroy a company?"
