155: Chapter 155 Investigating the Details

"I've already said it, there's no need for thanks between you and me. Alright, I can't talk anymore, I need to rush back to write a report."

Shen Yan didn't want to delay Liu Hui, so he acknowledged her and then hung up the phone.

Putting away his phone, Shen Yan looked out at the trees outside the window.

At this moment, the anger stirred by Chen Ling trying to sell guardianship had been considerably quelled by the news of his sister waking up safely.

His anger subsided.

His rationality returned.

He tapped the steering wheel with his hand while seriously considering Chen Ling's attempt to extort money from him using guardianship.

To be honest, although he admitted he didn't really understand Chen Ling, he didn't think Chen Ling was capable of doing such a thing.

In other words, he didn't think Chen Ling could come up with such an idea.

Perhaps in other matters, Chen Ling was indeed not a competent mother, but she loved Youyou.

If she didn't love her, Chen Ling wouldn't have tried every possible way to get Youyou back.

Therefore, he felt that this matter was very likely suggested to Chen Ling by someone else.

Currently, there are few people around Chen Ling who have a say.

So, besides Yang Jin, he couldn't think of anyone else.

"Yang Jin..."

After muttering to himself, he took out his phone and called Chen Guangke.

"Hello, where are you now?"

Hearing the question, Chen Guangke felt utterly bewildered.

"It's not quitting time yet, where else would I be but at the Company Name?"

Shen Yan replied to Chen Guangke, "Then come down and find me now."

Chen Guangke blinked and asked, "You're downstairs at the Company Name? What's wrong?"

Shen Yan didn't want to talk on the phone, so he told Chen Guangke, "You'll know when you come down. Hurry up, don't make me wait too long."

After saying that, he directly hung up the phone.

Looking at the call screen that had been hung up before he could even speak, Chen Guangke couldn't help but complain, "Why is his personality becoming more and more like mine... The key is he's not learning the good things, just my impatient temper..."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Ya popped up beside him and asked, "What's wrong? Did Brother Shen call you?"

Chen Guangke was startled by her.

"Holy crap!"

"Why do you walk without making a sound now?"

Wu Ya replied with a wry smile, "My cubicle is right across from yours, what sound would I make walking? You still haven't answered me, did Brother Shen ask you to go down?"

Chen Guangke rolled his eyes.

"Yes, yes, yes, your Brother Shen asked me to go down. What, do you want to come down with me too?"

Wu Ya replied with a hint of jealousy, "I'm not going down with you. After all, Brother Shen only saved you, he didn't call me. If I went down with you, Brother Shen would scold me."

Chen Guangke shook his head as he got up from his cubicle.

"Since you're not going down, why are you asking me so many questions? Never mind, since you're there, help me tell the HR Staff that I've gone out on official business."

Wu Ya nodded perfunctorily and replied, "Got it, they definitely won't deduct your salary. So, what did Brother Shen call you down for?"

Chen Guangke honestly shook his head.

"I don't know, he just told me to come down. It's probably nothing too important."

Wu Ya narrowed her eyes.

She didn't quite believe that Chen Guangke really didn't know.

However, she felt that since he didn't want to say, there was no need for her to force it.

"Alright then, you go."

Chen Guangke nodded, picked up his phone, and ran downstairs.

After waiting for five minutes, Shen Yan finally saw Chen Guangke.

"Bang!"

The sound of a car door closing rang out.

Shen Yan impatiently asked Chen Guangke, "Why are you getting slower and slower?"

Chen Guangke's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Slow?!"

"Do you think I'm Superman? Do I not need time to shut down my computer and hand over work? Do I not need time to run down from upstairs?!"

Seeing that he seemed genuinely angry, Shen Yan quickly explained, "Oh, I'm not mad at you, I'm just a bit annoyed and want to quickly discuss the next steps with you."

Chen Guangke scoffed.

"You're still thinking about that Fuchen Enterprise acquisition, right?"

"If you ask me, don't think too much about it. We should only do what we have the resources for. I think this matter..."

Before he could finish, Shen Yan directly said, "It's not about that. What I want to talk about is that Chen Ling's new boyfriend came to see me."

"What?!" Chen Guangke was shocked. "You said Chen Ling's new boyfriend came to see you? What for?"

Shen Yan sighed and replied, "Asking if I'm willing to pay for Youyou's guardianship."

"Damn it!" Chen Guangke couldn't help but curse. "Are they crazy for money? To actually threaten you for money using Youyou's guardianship!"

Shen Yan shrugged.

"Maybe they really are crazy for money, but I think there's something fishy about this."

Chen Guangke immediately replied without thinking, "No need to think, there's definitely something fishy about this. "Although I don't think highly of Chen Ling, I don't believe she would do something like this. Could it be her new boyfriend who came to you on his own?"

"Although I don't think highly of Chen Ling, I don't believe she would do something like this. Could it be her new boyfriend who came to you on his own?"

Shen Yan didn't expect Chen Guangke to have the exact same thought as him.

He curiously asked Chen Guangke, "Don't you usually have a bad impression of Chen Ling? Why do you also think she wouldn't do something like this?"

Chen Guangke pouted.

He indeed didn't have a good impression of Chen Ling.

But when Chen Ling and Shen Yan were still married and very much in love, he had seen Chen Ling's interactions with Youyou.

Although Chen Ling was indeed not a competent mother, he didn't think Chen Ling didn't love her daughter, nor did he think Chen Ling would sell her daughter's guardianship for money.

Thinking this, he voiced his thoughts.

After listening to Chen Guangke's thoughts, Shen Yan nodded.

"Exactly, that's what I was thinking too, but Chen Ling is aware of this matter because I've already called her."

Chen Guangke was shocked for the third time.

"Damn it! Has she really sunk that low now?"

Shen Yan raised his hand and patted his shoulder, signaling him to calm down first.

"Don't rush yet, I don't think this matter is necessarily what we imagine it to be."

"Do you know this person, Yang Jin?"

Chen Guangke blinked and replied very honestly, "Yang Jin is Chen Ling's new boyfriend? I don't know him, is he in our line of work too?"

Shen Yan opened his phone, searched for the name Yang Jin on a search app, and then handed the search results to Chen Guangke.

"The boss of a Financial Company?"

Chen Guangke frowned as he read.

"It looks like his company is doing pretty well, he doesn't seem to be short on money."
