After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

Chapter 121: Dawn in the Mist

Yan Jin held the phone, her fingertips almost embedded in the screen. The warning message was like a thorn in her flesh, lingering and almost breaking her already tense nerves. When Xiang Yu arrived, he saw her pale face, trying to remain calm.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He held her hand, and the warmth of his palm conveyed silent comfort.

Yan Jin took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner panic, and handed him the phone, "We can't just sit there and wait for death any longer."

Xiang Yu looked at the text message, his eyes gradually became sharper. He knew that avoiding the problem would not solve the problem, but would only make the other party more unscrupulous.

"What do you want to do?" he asked.

"Investigate!" Yan Jin said without hesitation, "Find out the identity and purpose of this person. I want to see what he wants to do!"

Xiang Yu nodded, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. Yan Jin's tenacity and courage always attracted him invisibly.

They began to act separately. Xiang Yu used his network of connections to investigate suspicious people and recent unusual events. Yan Jin carefully recalled every detail of the past, trying to find clues.

Time passed by in the intense investigation. Finally, after several sleepless nights, they found a clue.

"Look at this." Xiang Yu handed a document to Yan Jin, "This is the information about the power struggle within the family five years ago. It mentions a mysterious person who secretly manipulated many things, but in the end he disappeared."

Yan Jin took the document and read it carefully. As she pieced together the information, a bold guess gradually formed in her mind.

"You mean..." She raised her head and looked at Xiang Yu, "This person may still be alive and hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge?"

Xiang Yu nodded, "This is just my guess, but judging from the clues we have so far, it is very likely."

"What is his purpose? To destroy the Xiang family?" Yan Jin was puzzled.

Xiang Yu was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Perhaps, there is a deeper purpose..."

He walked to the window and looked at the flashing neon lights in the distance. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes. "Maybe he wants to use the conflict between us to achieve his ulterior motives..."

Yan Jin's heart sank suddenly. If this was true, then she and Xiang Yu were just pieces on each other's chessboard.

"What should we do now?" she asked, with a hint of confusion in her tone.

Xiang Yu turned around and looked at her, his eyes firm and deep, "Find him, and then..."

He paused, walked in front of her, and gently held her in his arms, "...to protect you."

Yan Jin leaned on his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, and an unprecedented sense of security surrounded her.

However, just when they thought they were getting closer to the truth, new changes quietly arrived.

Late at night, in Xiang Yu's study, the lights were dim. He sat at the desk, frowning, holding a photo in his hand. In the photo, there was a strange man with a stern face and sinister eyes.

Suddenly, the door of the study was gently pushed open, and a dark figure walked in silently...

Yan Jin's heart skipped a beat. She was acutely aware of the dangerous aura emanating from the man in the photo. "Who is he?" she asked in a low voice, with a barely perceptible hint of worry in her tone.

"We suspect he is the mastermind behind this," Xiang Yu turned the photo over and saw an address written in red on the back. "I found out that he has been here frequently recently."

"Do you want to meet him?" Yan Jin frowned slightly. Her intuition told her that this person was very dangerous and any rash action would only alert the enemy.

Xiang Yu's deep gaze fell on her face, "We must get more evidence to completely crush his conspiracy, right?"

Yan Jin was silent. She understood Xiang Yu's determination and what this action meant. They were like walking on a tightrope, and if they were not careful, they would fall into the abyss.

"Okay," Yan Jin finally nodded, "I'll go with you."

Seeing the determination in her eyes, Xiang Yu felt warm in his heart. He held her hand and said, "Don't worry, I will protect you."

As night fell, the city fell into silence, with only the dim street lights still silently guarding the night walkers. Yan Jin and Xiang Yu disguised themselves and quietly came to the address behind the photo.

It was an abandoned factory, surrounded by weeds and exuding a gloomy atmosphere. Yan Jin tightly grasped the electric baton in his hand, and his palms were slightly sweaty.

"Be careful," Xiang Yu's voice sounded in her ears, with a hint of soothing power.

They crouched down and approached the factory cautiously under the cover of night. The factory was dark, with only a faint light coming from a shabby window.

"It's right inside," Xiang Yu pointed at the window and said in a low voice.

They looked at each other, and they could see the tension and determination in each other's eyes. Taking a deep breath, Xiang Yu walked to the window first, gently pushed it open, and turned over to go in first. Yan Jin followed closely behind, landing lightly on the floor.

The factory was filled with a damp and moldy smell. In the dim light, some abandoned machines and debris could be vaguely seen.

"Someone!" Yan Jin suddenly said in a low voice. She felt something strange, as if someone was watching them secretly.

Xiang Yu immediately became alert. He clenched his fists and signaled Yan Jin to hide behind him. Suddenly, the lights flickered and a dark shadow flashed in front of them...

"Who's there?" Xiang Yu shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the empty factory.

The answer he got was a suffocating silence. The shadow disappeared very quickly, and Xiang Yu and Yan Jin immediately chased after it. The factory was complicated, with piles of machinery and sundries, which made their pursuit more difficult.

"Search separately!" Xiang Yu growled, and the two of them quickly chased in different directions.

Yan Jin held the electric baton in her hand, her heart pounding. She was highly alert and observed the movements around her, taking every step carefully. Suddenly, she heard a slight noise coming from the front, like the sound of metal rubbing. She slowed down, held her breath, and slowly moved closer to the direction of the sound.

In the dim light, a tall figure was facing away from her, holding something in his hand. Yan Jin's mind raced, could this be the man in the photo?

"Don't move!" She raised the stun gun and shouted.

The man heard the voice and slowly turned around. With the weak light, Yan Jin saw his face clearly. It was a completely unfamiliar face, but his eyes were cold and fierce, which made people shudder.

"Who are you? Why are you following us?" Yan Jin asked, with a barely perceptible tremor in his tone.

The man didn't say anything, but sneered, suddenly took out a dagger from his pocket, and rushed towards Yan Jin. Yan Jin was prepared, dodged the attack sideways, and the electric baton in his hand hit his arm accurately. The man screamed, and the dagger fell to the ground. He covered his arm, glared at Yan Jin fiercely, and turned to flee.

"Stop!" Yan Jin chased after him, but lost sight of the man around the corner.

At this time, Xiang Yu also rushed over. "How is it? Are you okay?" he asked anxiously. He was relieved to see that Yan Jin was safe and sound.

"I'm fine, I let him get away." Yan Jin shook his head, with a hint of unwillingness in his tone.

"Don't worry, he can't run away." Xiang Yu comforted him, and then pointed to the dagger that fell on the ground, "There may be his fingerprints on it."

The two returned to the place where the dagger fell and searched carefully, but found nothing.

"It seems that he has been prepared for this." Yan Jin frowned, feeling uneasy.

"Let's leave here first." Xiang Yu took Yan Jin's hand and walked out of the factory quickly.

The night deepened, and the cool breeze could not blow away the haze in their hearts. They walked side by side on the way back, and no one spoke.

"What are you thinking about?" Finally, Xiang Yu broke the silence.

Yan Jin raised her head and looked at the man in front of her. Under the moonlight, his profile was clearly defined, and his deep eyes were filled with worry and concern. Her heart suddenly warmed up. "Nothing, I just feel that this matter is becoming more and more complicated."

"The truth will always come to light." Xiang Yu held her hand tightly, his tone firm.

"Xiang Yu," Yan Jin suddenly stopped and looked into his eyes, "Do you regret it?"

"What do you regret?"

"I regret divorcing me."

Xiang Yu was silent for a moment, then he gently held her in his arms, "Yes, I regret it. I thought I could live without you, but I found out that I was wrong. I have long been accustomed to your existence, your care, and your company. Without you, my life is like a stagnant pool of water, without any waves."

Yan Jin's eyes were slightly moist. She buried her head in his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat and feeling his warmth. At this moment, she was finally sure that this man truly loved her.

"Jin'er," Xiang Yu held her face and gently wiped away the tears from her eyes, "Come back to me, okay?"

Yan Jin looked into his affectionate eyes, her heart filled with emotion and happiness. She nodded and said "hmm" softly.

Just when they thought they were about to uncover all the mysteries and find the mastermind behind the scenes, they discovered that things were far more complicated than they had imagined...

Under the moonlight, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin held hands, and the love in each other's eyes was so strong that it could not be dissolved. But at this moment, Yan Jin's phone rang suddenly, breaking this beautiful atmosphere. The caller ID was Xiang Yu's assistant, who said in a hurried tone: "Mr. Xiang, it's bad, 'he' disappeared and left a letter..."

The content of the letter was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the hopes that the two had just ignited. In the letter, the mysterious man admitted that everything he had done was to attract their attention, and his real goal was to destroy the business empire that Xiang Yu and Yan Jin had jointly built!

"What a great trick!" Xiang Yu crumpled the letter into a ball, his eyes sharp. Yan Jin held his hand and said calmly: "Now is not the time to act on impulse. The most urgent task is to find out his true identity and purpose."

The two immediately launched an intense investigation. They retrieved all surveillance videos related to the mysterious man and analyzed his behavior patterns, trying to find clues. As the investigation deepened, a huge and secretive organization gradually surfaced. Its power and cruel methods were shocking.

"It seems that we have provoked a powerful guy." Yan Jin looked at the information in his hand with a frown.

Xiang Yu took Yan Jin into his arms and said firmly, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Yan Jin raised her head and looked at him, with a determined light in her eyes, "We will face it together."

Late at night, the two sat side by side in the study, with documents and materials piled on the table. They had been working for more than ten hours, but they were not tired at all, because they knew that a bigger storm was coming.

"Jin'er, go to bed early. We still have a lot of things to do tomorrow." Xiang Yu stroked Yan Jin's hair gently, his tone full of heartache.

Yan Jin shook her head and pointed at the documents on the table. "I want to take another look at this financial report. I always feel that..."

Her voice suddenly stopped, as if she suddenly thought of something, she raised her head abruptly, and looked at Xiang Yu with burning eyes, "Wait, this report..."
