In the early morning, the morning light of Haicheng poured in through the French windows, onto the white sheets and the woman's quiet sleeping face.
Su Wanyin slowly opened her eyes, everything from last night still echoing in her mind. Li Jingchen stood in the moonlight and said, "I will take back what belongs to the Su family for you," which was like a nail driving into her heart.
For the first time, she had the courage to stop running away.
"Are you up?" A familiar low voice came from the bedroom door.
She looked up and saw that Li Jingchen had put on a suit and was standing by the door, holding a document in his hand, his eyes fell on her, and his eyes were gentle.
"What is this?" She stood up and walked closer.
Li Jingchen handed her the document: "The original property transfer information of the Su's old house, and a share transfer certificate that your father left for you."
Su Wanyin's fingers trembled slightly, and she turned over the slightly old document, and the familiar signature came into view "Su Zhiyuan".
Her eyes were red: "How did you find these things?"
"Your father's secretary was my father's man." Li Jingchen said calmly, "Before he died, he asked someone to keep this information. He thought the Su family would not make a comeback, but he didn't expect to wait for you."
"He hopes you can take back what belongs to the Su family."
Su Wanyin's heart tightened, and an unprecedented power rolled up in her chest.
"I will," she said softly but firmly, "I won't let them swallow the blood and sweat of the Su family in vain."
Li Jingchen's mouth corners slightly raised, and he reached out and stroked her cheek: "This is my Su Wanyin."
Ten o'clock in the morning, the internal meeting room of the Li Group.
A red-headed document entitled "Su's Old Industry Re-listing and Preferential Acquisition Proposal" appeared on the board of directors' meeting table.
Cheng Anyan reported: "According to the information, the four major industries under the Su family have been divided up, and the controlling rights are held by Shen, Lin and Bai respectively. However, the relationship between them is complicated and they are mutually restrained. If they can act accurately, Miss Su is expected to regain control of the two core assets at the lowest cost."
"We have contacted Zhao Tong, one of the directors of the Bai Group. He has long been dissatisfied with Bai Jingcheng's tough attitude within the Bai Group and intends to sell his shares."
Li Jingchen nodded, his voice cold: "The logistics and warehousing of the Bai family is the foundation that the Su family has spent ten years building."
"This time, they have to spit out the principal and interest together."
Cheng Anyan hesitated and added: "But the Shen family has learned about Miss Su's identity and has begun to counter-layout. They have frequent contacts with the Lin family and may be plotting to merge the real estate projects in the Su family's legacy."
Li Jingchen's eyes suddenly sank.
"Lin Zhonghai?" Su Wanyin's face changed slightly when she heard the familiar name.
"Yes, he is now one of the actual controllers of Lin's Real Estate. He bought the old riverside land of the Su family at a low price through bankruptcy liquidation."
Su Wanyin was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Can you show me the transfer agreement of that land?"
Cheng Anyan nodded and immediately started to deal with it.
She lowered her eyes and clenched her fingertips into fists. She remembered that the land was one of her mother's favorite garden projects and the most beautiful memory of her childhood.
Now it has fallen into the hands of her "uncle"...
In the evening, a western restaurant in the center of Haicheng.
Lin Zhonghai was wearing an expensive suit and a familiar hypocritical smile on his face.
"Wanyin, I heard that you have been very close to Li Jingchen recently?" He spoke in a gentle tone, but his edge was hidden.
Su Wanyin nodded, her expression calm: "He is helping me find out the truth about my father's accident."
Lin Zhonghai's expression changed slightly, and then he smiled: "You are still young, don't always worry about the past. The Su family's affairs... It's been so long, let it go."
She slowly took out a copy from her handbag and spread it on the table.
"You bought this transfer agreement through the auction platform three years ago in the name of the Su family's bankruptcy, right?"
Lin Zhonghai's face froze instantly.
Su Wanyin said slowly: "That piece of land was assigned to my mother by my father. It was pre-marital property."
"So in theory, it should not be included in the scope of Su's bankruptcy liquidation."
Lin Zhonghai sweated on his forehead: "Wanyin, you...what do you mean?"
She looked at him with clear eyes: "I want you to return the land, or I will submit this transfer contract to the court, together with your illegal transaction account with Shen's."
"Lin Zhonghai, you'd better make one thing clear"
"I'm not the Su Wanyin who only knew how to hide behind my mother and cry."
Lin Zhonghai was speechless and couldn't say a word of rebuttal for a long time.
That night.
Su Wanyin returned to the villa and sat in a corner of the living room. She was still a little dazed.
She thought she would be at a loss when facing Lin Zhonghai, but when she really issued a threat, she was particularly sober.
She finally understood what Li Jingchen said, "Sometimes, you don't need mercy."
"You did a good job."
The man's voice came from above her head. She looked up and saw Li Jingchen coming with two glasses of red wine in his hands.
"Celebrate your first negotiation victory in your life."
She took the wine glass and whispered, "I'm a little scared."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid that I will become different from myself."
Li Jingchen looked at her and slowly reached out to embrace her in his arms.
"You haven't changed. You just finally learned to protect yourself and the things you care about."
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "And you will always be the you I like."
The next day, the news of "Su Wanyin officially launched an acquisition of Su's old assets" made the financial headlines.
At the same time, an anonymous material accusing Shen's second house of illegal overseas financing appeared in the mailbox of the Commercial Administration Bureau.
In just two days, the entire Haicheng business circle was in a state of panic.
"This woman really started to take action." Shen Zhiyan stared at the computer screen, his face alternating between blue and white.
He could not imagine that the girl who once let him knead in his palm could now press forward step by step, and even Li Jingchen stood behind her.
"Since she wants to fight, don't blame me for not cherishing the old friendship."
"We... can also use the weakness of the Li family."
He made a call, his tone cold:
"Check the overseas project that Li Jingchen and Wen's cooperated on, and dig out the gray funding line."
"Since she dared to touch me, let her see whether Li Jingchen is really clean."
In the night, Li Jingchen stood on the balcony, holding a cigarette between his fingers, but never lit it.
He was waiting for a message.
Cheng Anyan's text message finally came:
"Shen Zhiyan began to investigate the Wen family line. He suspected that there was an account problem between you and Wen's."
He looked at the screen of his mobile phone, his eyes slightly narrowed.
The next moment, he turned off the phone and turned to walk into the bedroom.
Su Wanyin was tired and fell asleep at the head of the bed. He walked to her side and gently tucked the corner of the quilt for her.
His eyes fell on her peaceful sleeping face, and a hint of forbearance flashed across his eyes.
"Don't worry," he murmured softly, "Even if it's a pit of fire, I will take you to shore step by step."
