This string of numbers she entered this time was actually the computer.

The light from the computer screen reflected Zhen Zhu’s face as she nervously checked the doc.u.ments on the computer.

She was stunned for a long time before she closed her laptop and rushed out of Zhen Yiping’s office.

When she stepped out of the office, her phone rang while she was still in the elevator.

“Did you get it?” Zhen Chongming asked anxiously.

Zhen Zhu composed herself. “I got it.”

“Alright, I’m waiting at the Old Port Tea Restaurant.”

Zhen Chongming sounded excited. “I’ll wait for you there.”

“Isn’t it too late for me to go now?”

Zhen Zhu glanced at the time. It was almost 12 o’clock at night.

“If you gave it to me earlier, I would feel at ease.”

Zhen Chongming said, “Otherwise, 1 won’t be able to sleep tonight. Besides, I’ve already prepared the gift for you.”

She hadn’t taken any action in the past few days. Zhen Chongming was afraid that she would go back on her word, so he took the initiative to call her. He said that when he went to take care of her mother’s funeral, he had received a lot of belongings from the police.

Even though he had basically given everything to Zhen Yiping, he had only left one thing behind. “You’ll know what this is once you see it.”

Zhen Zhu pursed her lips, the truth of the world, I am in the past.”

At Old Port Tea Restaurant.

Zhen Chongming was waiting for her. “Where’s the thing?”

Zhen Zhu gripped the USB in her hand tightly. “What’s the present you’re talking about?”

“This.”

He also took out a USB and handed it to her. “Inside are the photos your mother took after she went abroad. There were her own pictures as well as that man’s.”

He glanced at her tightly clenched hands and smiled, “At that time, I thought that your father hated your mother and definitely wouldn’t want to see these photos, so 1 kept them on my own. I originally wanted to give them to you at the right time.”

Zhen Zhu took it and slowly placed the USB drive on the table before pus.h.i.+ng it over.

However, halfway through, she paused. “Are you sure you can return to Zhen Group with this data?”

“Of course.”

Zhen Chongming’s eyes sparkled. “Good Niece, once Seventh Uncle returns to Zhen Group, I will help you clear all obstacles. Then, the company will be yours.”

“Can I ask,”

She looked at him quietly. “How do you plan to return to the company?”

“This is not something that Niece should know.”

Zhen Chongming smiled. “Anyway, I won’t take long.”

Sheu did not say anything. She slowly raised her hand and revealed the small black USB. “Then, let’s have a pleasant cooperation.”

Zhen Chongming couldn’t wait to pick it up immediately. He even smiled until the wrinkles at the corner of his eyes showed. “Nice working with you, my good niece.”

When she got home, Zhen Zhu opened the photos on the USB drive on her computer.

The familiar faces in the photos were the faces of her mother when she was young.

Some of them were taken alone, while some were of her snuggling up to that man.

The first hundred or so photos should have made her very happy. Every photo was full of smiles and spirits.

However, the more she went on, the more the light in her eyes dimmed, as if it was covered by something, like a dark cloud.

Even if she forced a smile, it could not hide the melancholy in her eyes.

Somewhere in the southwest.

Shen Hanyu settled the family members of the injured and returned to the hotel.

These days, he had barely gotten proper sleep. Although it was tiring, he still could not rest.

The explosion at the Southwest Military Factory happened when Tang Bochuan led a government department leader from Beijing to investigate.

Not only were there many casualties, but the leader was also seriously injured and was still in danger.

This matter had a huge impact. If it weren’t for the military factory being involved and the higher-ups not wanting to publicize it, it would have already caused a huge commotion. Just the pressure brought by public opinion was enough to cause the Zhen family to suffer huge losses.

It was said that the higher-ups were very angry and attached great importance to this matter. They even sent higher-level officials to investigate this incident.

The results of the investigation would directly affect the future of the Zhen family.

Zhen Yiping was right. If this matter was not handled well, it would be a disaster for the Zhen family.

Although Shen Hanyu looked extremely tired, he still rubbed his forehead and forced himself to look energetic. He took the stack of investigation materials that his secretary had sent over and read it carefully. His brows gradually furrowed.

On the surface, this event looked like a normal accident, but it was too coincidental.

All the evidence was complete, proving that this was an accident caused by human negligence.

The culprit behind it had already died in this accident, and there was no way to investigate it.

The employees who could enter the Southwestern Military Factory’s core operation processes were all old employees who had been around for more than three years. Whether it was their ability or background, they had all been tested. Logically speaking, such negligence should not have happened.

However, the culprit had made a mistake and even rushed to the leader’s inspection…

Shen Hanyu was deep in thought when Zhen Zhu called him. “Cousin.”

“It’s so late. What’s the matter?”

“When will you be able to return to Beijing?”

“I’m not sure. I’m afraid it’ll take some time.”

Shen Hanyu stopped flipping through the doc.u.ments. “Why? Impatient?”

“What do you think?”

She was obviously unhappy. “Didn’t you already find out the truth? Can’t you show me the evidence first? Must you keep me in suspense?”

“Is that why you called so late?” Shen Hanyu asked lightly.

She was silent for a long time. “I just want to ask you, is my mother’s death related to Zhen Yiping?”

“No, he’s not.”

Shen Hanyu’s tone was resolute. “Forgive me for being blunt, but you’ve been blaming your father wrongly.”

“How can 1 believe you?” Zhen Zhu was stunned and said with a complicated expression.

“Without solid evidence, I will never make a conclusion easily.”

He pondered for a few seconds. “How about this? I’ll ask Tang Bochuan to return to the capital tomorrow. I’ll give him the evidence. If you’re willing, you can go to him.”

Tang Bochuan was also injured in the accident, but it wasn’t that serious.

He couldn’t stay in the hospital any longer, so he insisted on leaving and helping Shen Hanyu.

However, Shen Hanyu wanted him to go back to the capital so that he could recuperate. Secondly, the Southwest Military Factory was far more complicated than Shen Hanyu had thought. There were some problems that he couldn’t communicate with Zhen Yiping over the phone, so he wanted Tang Bochuan to go back and relay the message.

He had accidentally found out the truth behind Zhen Zhu’s mother’s death, and he had to tell Zhen Yiping and Zhen Zhu about it sooner or later.

It was an eventful time now. He was tied up by the southwest issue and was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to leave for a while. Moreover, Zhen Yiping was sick and hospitalized. Although Xu Kejing was in charge of the situation in the group, he was only a vice president after all, so he couldn’t help but be restrained.

If the father and daughter were to resolve the misunderstanding in advance, and if Zhen Zhu was willing, it wouldn’t be impossible for her to take charge of the company in advance.

At that time, with Xu Kejing and Tang Bochuan a.s.sisting her, Shen Hanyu and Zhen Yiping would be more at ease. It would also prevent any restless Zhen family members from taking advantage of the situation and causing trouble.

Seemingly recalling something, Shen Hanyu said, “After you meet Tang Bochuan, you’d better meet your father. He must have something to tell you.”

Zhen Zhu was silent for a long time before replying, “We’ll discuss it later.”
