75: Chapter 76 The Discovery of Yin's Father and Tianchou
Yin Hanhai's tapping fingers suddenly stopped, a flash of sharp light in his eyes: "Are you saying she might have been pregnant with Yang Wenbin's child?"
"It is only a high suspicion; there is no concrete evidence. The people involved back then either cannot be found or are tight-lipped. After Yang Wenbin died, the Yang Family also seemed to be evasive about this matter." Chen Feng said cautiously, "In addition, Shen Nian's whereabouts in the few years after she left Jiangzhou are a mystery. We only found that she stayed briefly in a few overseas countries, but what she specifically did is unknown. It wasn't until a few years ago that she made a high-profile return as the founder of 'Yifei Intelligence'."
Yin Hanhai pondered for a moment: "Does she have any contact with Yang Junyi now?"
"On the surface, they occasionally cross paths at business events, but privately, there seems to be no close interaction. However..." Chen Feng paused, "We found that about half a year ago, Shen Nian's 'Wing Flight' experienced a severe capital chain crisis and almost collapsed. But the crisis was quickly resolved by an injection of mysterious capital. The source of these funds is very hidden; after several transfers, it finally pointed to an offshore fund overseas that has some connection with the Yang Family."
The study fell into a brief silence. Yin Hanhai's fingers continued to tap on the desk, the rhythm slow and heavy. Shen Nian's relationship with the Yang Family was indeed extraordinary, perhaps even involving offspring and secret financial dealings. A woman with such a complex background and deep thoughts, who deliberately approached Yu Bo, must have a significant motive. And that Lin Rui was likely just a pawn being used.
"Continue to investigate Shen Nian and that offshore fund, and see if there are any other dealings between her and Yang Junyi privately." Yin Hanhai ordered in a deep voice, "As for Lin Rui, stay put for now and see who he contacts next. Also," he looked at Chen Feng with sharp eyes, "What has that kid Tianchou been doing lately?"
Mentioning the young master, Chen Feng's face showed a complex expression of helplessness and admiration: "Young Master Tianchou... he is also investigating. Moreover, he is using his own methods. He seems to have locked onto Lin Rui, and... his technical skills are quite brilliant; our people were almost counter-tracked by him."
Upon hearing this, Yin Hanhai first frowned, then smoothed his brow, his lips even curling into an almost imperceptible arc. His son had never walked the beaten path since he was a child; his IQ and EQ were ridiculously high, and he was obsessed with computer and network technology. He just didn't expect him to use it on this, this time.
"Let him investigate, just make sure he doesn't put himself in danger." Yin Hanhai waved his hand, "It's good for young people to have some spirit. However, have someone watch him secretly so he doesn't go too far."
"Yes, Chairman." Chen Feng acknowledged the order.
"Also," Yin Hanhai's gaze became cold again, "How is the 'Yin Angel' project on Yu Bo's side coming along?"
"Mr. Yu is moving very quickly; he has already set up a special preparatory group. The initial funds are in place, and he is currently contacting medical experts and looking for a location. Judging by the looks of it, he is serious." Chen Feng reported truthfully.
Yin Hanhai nodded, his expression softening slightly. That Yu Bo could use this method to make amends and show his stance meant he still had some sense of responsibility. But this was far from enough. He must figure out who was stirring up trouble behind the scenes and what their purpose was. Anyone who dared to target his daughter, Yin Hanhai, he would not let go, no matter who they were!
"Go ahead, report any progress at any time." Yin Hanhai waved Chen Feng away.
Tianchou sat cross-legged on the carpet in his room, surrounded by three open laptops and various electronic devices. Code and data streams that were difficult for ordinary people to understand were jumping on the screens. He had a lollipop in his mouth, his brows tightly locked, and his fingers were flying across the keyboard.
"Lin Rui... Deputy Manager of the Marketing Department, the nephew of that Uncle Lin who works under Dad..." He muttered to himself. He had cracked part of the conversation record in an encrypted chat window on the screen. The content was vague, but it mentioned words like "photo", "video", "done", and "money", as well as an address for someone called "Miss Su".
Miss Su? Tianchou searched quickly in his mind. Someone who had a grudge with his sister and had the surname Su... Older Female Cousin... Su Man?
He immediately changed direction and began using the "small tools" he had built to infiltrate some social platforms and consumption record databases, tracking recent activities related to Su Man. Soon, he discovered something interesting: Su Man had recently been frequently visiting a high-end private club in the west of the city, and the vague IP address in Lin Rui's encrypted chat records had also appeared on a public network near that club. The timing was right around when the video was sent.
"Interesting..." Tianchou licked his lollipop, his eyes brightening. It seemed the person behind Lin Rui was very likely this Su Man. What was the motive? Hatred born from love? Revenge against Yu Bo? Or wanting to take the opportunity to ruin his sister's marriage?
Just as he was about to dig deeper into the specific transaction evidence between Su Man and Lin Rui, his phone suddenly vibrated. It was an encrypted message from an anonymous code ID he was familiar with.
"Kid, you're investigating quite happily, aren't you? Be careful not to burn yourself." The content of the message was teasing, but the warning was obvious.
Tianchou raised an eyebrow and quickly replied: "Old Ghost, you've also got your eyes on this trail? How about sharing resources?"
The other party was silent for a few seconds, then sent an encrypted file package and a sentence: "Lin Rui is the bait, Su Man is the gun, but there might be more than one hand holding the gun. Be careful of the Yang Family. Also, your dad's people are about to discover you, keep it low profile."
The file package needed time to decrypt, but the words "Yang Family" made Tianchou's heart jump. He had also heard about the relationship between Shen Nian and the Yang Family. Could it be that this matter involved even more complex forces behind the scenes?
He immediately cleared away some of the overly obvious tracking traces and transferred the core data to a more hidden cloud. At the same time, he became deeply interested in the identity of that mysterious ID "Old Ghost". Being able to detect his movements so quickly, knowing that his dad was investigating, and even mentioning the Yang Family... this person was definitely not simple, and it seemed... they didn't have any malice toward them?
He was just about to send the preliminary conclusions to his sister when his phone vibrated first.
It was a message from Tianxue: "Tianchou, are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together; I have something I want to ask you."
Tianchou raised an eyebrow and quickly replied: "Sure, if my older sister is treating, I must be free! You pick the place, I'll be there on time." He also happened to want to tell his sister about his findings.
