Mu Linjing finally managed to get Wei Yumeng to rest, and she waited for Zhan Yichen to return alone.
As soon as Zhan Yichen entered, Mu Linjing anxiously asked, "How did it go?"
"I've talked to my brother, and he's willing to investigate the matter before reaching a conclusion."
Hearing this, Mu Linjing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She hoped that Zhan Mohan could truly find something to prove Wei Yumeng's innocence.
"However, wife, although I've accomplished the task you gave me, shouldn't you also resolve my doubts?"
Mu Linjing looked at Zhan Yichen with some confusion, "What doubts?"
"I learned from my brother that you weren't present when the incident happened, so how did you know it so clearly?" Zhan Yichen looked at Mu Linjing seriously, waiting for her answer.
Mu Linjing felt a little embarrassed. The reason she didn't say anything at the time was due to some worry, as the other party's identity was somewhat sensitive.
"You won't tell me? Then let me guess..." Zhan Yichen carefully observed Mu Linjing's reaction. "Was it Chai Yanyu who told you?"
Upon hearing Chai Yanyu's name, Mu Linjing indeed flinched.
"Just as I thought," Zhan Yichen nodded.
"Husband, I didn't say it because..."
"Because I'm part of the Zhan family, so you were afraid I would side with the Zhan family?" Zhan Yichen shook his head helplessly. "Don't forget, wife, you are also part of the Zhan family now."
"That's not what I meant. In short, I don't think Chai Yanyu is that bad," Mu Linjing explained. "I told you before that when Yumeng jumped into the lake, he was the one who saved her and then found me. I think he genuinely cares about Yumeng. Of course, he also told me those things and speculations, and he repeatedly told me not to hand Yumeng over to the Zhan family."
Mu Linjing sighed, "I always feel like he has some misunderstanding about the Zhan family, but I can't quite explain it."
Zhan Yichen thought for a moment and asked, "You mentioned earlier that Chai Yanyu is the CEO of Chai Corporation. Is his influence quite significant?"
"Probably?" Mu Linjing wasn't entirely sure, but as a CEO, he must have some influence.
"Then, can we consider this possibility? Perhaps Chai Yanyu discovered something, which is why he sent Wei Yumeng to us and didn't let her return to the Zhan family."
Mu Linjing suddenly realized. This idea could indeed explain the situation, but it also brought up new questions: "Then what did he discover?"
Zhan Yichen shrugged, "I don't know about that. Perhaps we can only find out by asking him directly."
However, this reminded Mu Linjing, "I have a guess. The reason Chai Yanyu claimed to have a relationship with Yumeng in front of Zhan Mohan might be based on your guess?"
"What you're saying makes sense, but it's hard to say if this is really the case. However, one thing is certain: Chai Yanyu has feelings for sister-in-law," Zhan Yichen said, looking at Mu Linjing.
Mu Linjing nodded solemnly, "I think so too."
Zhan Yichen stretched, "Since he has feelings for sister-in-law, then it's easy. He wouldn't want sister-in-law to be in a desperate situation. We'll arrange to meet him tomorrow, and perhaps everything can be resolved."
Mu Linjing looked at Zhan Yichen, feeling a sense of relief in her heart.
Due to work, she and Zhan Yichen had been separated for too long. This feeling now made her feel incredibly secure.
Seeing Mu Linjing staring at him blankly, Zhan Yichen leaned down and moved his face closer to hers.
"What? Haven't seen me in a while and think I've gotten more handsome?"
Mu Linjing turned her head away, "What are you thinking?"
But Zhan Yichen saw her blushing earlobes.
Unlike the atmosphere at Zhan Yichen's home, Zhan Mohan's return was still cold and deserted. Wei Yumeng was nowhere to be seen.
Even the two children were unwilling to speak to him much recently, believing he was divorcing Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng had been away from home for four days. She hadn't returned since the conflict he had with them that day.
He had been angry, thinking that Wei Yumeng had been with Chai Yanyu all these days.
However, today, seeing Zhan Yichen so eagerly inquiring about the situation and his views, he guessed that Wei Yumeng was most likely at Zhan Yichen's place.
Fang Xun rushed to Zhan Mohan's house. He was a little confused as to why Zhan Mohan had asked him to come over at this time.
"Mr. Zhan, has something happened?" Fang Xun was perplexed.
However, he was also worried. Had something else happened with Wei Yumeng?
"Help me investigate the hotel where Yumeng stayed with Chai Yanyu that night and find out exactly what happened."
"Understood."
Just as Fang Xun was about to leave, Zhan Mohan stopped him.
"By the way, how did you know Yumeng was in trouble that day?"
Fang Xun thought for a moment, "It was Madam Chen Yutong..."
As soon as he said it, he realized something was off. He had participated in so many investigations before and naturally understood the intricacies involved.
"I apologize, Mr. Zhan. I heard that Madam was in trouble at the time, so I didn't pay attention to that detail."
Zhan Mohan just frowned and didn't intend to pursue the matter further. "Alright, go and do what you need to do."
Only then did Fang Xun leave to investigate.
Zhan Mohan truly hadn't expected that this matter might even involve Chen Yutong. But now, he could only confirm that she knew about Wei Yumeng's situation, not that she had orchestrated it.
He felt a headache coming on, but for now, he needed to clarify Wei Yumeng's situation first.
Although it was getting late, Fang Xun dared not be negligent.
After all, he had seen Zhan Mohan's condition recently. Although Zhan Mohan didn't say it aloud, having followed him for so long, he could tell how much this matter had affected him.
Furthermore, he had been living under Zhan Mohan's gloomy aura every day for the past few days. In contrast, Zhan Mohan's mood had improved significantly just now, meaning he must have made some other discovery.
Fang Xun sincerely wished for Zhan Mohan and Wei Yumeng to reconcile.
With these thoughts, he arrived at the entrance of the hotel.
"Welcome, sir. Are you here for a room?" the staff member asked enthusiastically.
"I need to ask you something. Do you know about that incident involving Mrs. Zhan Corporation's wife?"
Upon hearing this, the person looked apprehensive. "I don't know. I just started working here."
However, Fang Xun could tell that this person definitely knew something.
"Are you really unaware, or are you unwilling to speak? Perhaps you were involved in the incident, which is why you're saying this?" Fang Xun exaggerated intentionally. "What do you think would happen if I reported this to the Zhan family?"
The waiter's expression immediately changed. "This... how can that be?"
Even he knew the influence of the Zhan family. He was just a small waiter. If he offended the Zhan family, would he still have a livelihood in the future?
