Chapter 81: Starting an investigation
“Jinhai didn’t see it right?”
“No. Sir is busy in a meeting.”
She felt relieved.
“Good. You come to the villa right now and hand it over to me, and don’t mention it to anybody, okay?”
Han Ru was stuck. “Um, mam…now?”
“Yes. Now!”
He had an important report to complete but how could he refuse the boss’s wife?
“O-okay.”
“Great! I will wait. Get here as quickly as possible.”
“Yes, mam.”
The call ended and he sighed. If I go quickly and return, I will still be able to make that report on time.
And even though just a little, he had this crush on her. So, he was a little bit excited to meet her.

“Um, so Nana. I will have to leave. I have to go somewhere.”, Huian said.
Jianyu asked, “What happened? I saw you a little nervous on the phone.”
“N-no it’s nothing. I haven’t had a proper breakfast today. It must be because of that. I was feeling worried after all, whether Nana would forgive me or not.”, she gave an excuse.
She looked at her, “But now everything is okay, right Nana?”
She tried to smile, “Yes.”
“That’s great. And I would have loved to spend some time with you but…”
“It’s alright Mrs. Liu.”
“Thanks. I will take my leave now. Bye Jianyu.”, and she hurriedly left.
Jianyu asked, “Are you okay? Look, if you don’t want to you are not forced to forgive her, okay? You don’t have to think about me or us being relatives. I understand she has crossed her limits. You can take your time.”
She smiled, “No really. I’m okay. It’s a new beginning. We have started dating and on such a good note I didn’t want to be sad or keep any resentments. We should always try to move forward in our life.”
He sighed. “I give up. You are the greatest of all. I bow down before you.”
He bowed down a ninety-degree and said, “Thank you for gracing this mere mortal with this divine chance to date a goddess like you.”
She facepalmed seeing his antics.

Han Ru reached Golden Sea villa where Huian was already waiting.
“Quick. Give me the letter.”
He couldn’t help but blush seeing her.
“Here.”, saying that he handed her the letter.
She grabbed it and said, “Okay, you can go now. You did a good job today.”
“Thank you Lady Liu.”, he felt like staying more but what could he say?
“Anything else?”
“Uh no. I will leave.”
He went and she ran over to Grandma Liu’s room.
“Grandma!”
“What?”, she saw her tensed and figured it out.
“Is it a letter again?”
She nodded.
“Quick. Open it.”
She opened the letter.
It all started two years back when a certain someone’s patience finally ran out.
Both understood it immediately. Especially Huian. She closed her eyes in helplessness. She felt like she suddenly aged a lot.
“Jinhai…”, Grandma Liu asked.
“No, he didn’t read it. Thankfully the spy I put found out in time.”
She sighed, “For now we can only stop these letters from reaching Jinhai. We have increased our chances though. That man you hired will keep an eye. Destroy this letter.”
She nodded.

Liu Jinhai was in a meeting watching the presentation one of his employees was giving.
“Sir, if you see the report, the statistics clearly indicate that the deal is in our favor. Our competitors – the Shen’s won’t stand a chance. We are giving resources in a reasonable bid, which is our main selling point.”
The file with the report was kept in front of him. He opened it.
He read the first two pages of it which were inline with the presentation. He had no doubt that Liu Corps will win the deal.
When he turned over to the third page, he saw a small letter with a light floral design.
He frowned and opened the letter.
A tip to emotional blackmail someone. Have a fake attack. It always works.
He furrowed his brows. He raised his hand indicating the employee to stop.
“Did you put this letter here?”
The employee frowned in confusion, “No, sir. There are only reports. I didn’t put any letter.”
He was silent for a while and said, “Hm. Continue.”
The meeting ended after twenty minutes and Jinhai called Assistant Xin.
“Investigate this.”
He read the letter and asked, “Huh? What does this mean? Maybe it came by mistake.”
“I also got a letter a day after my wedding anniversary. It was written ‘in cahoots with’.”
Assistant Xin doubted something.
“Sir…can it be any of our rivals? Maybe they want to distract us?”
“Or warn us from somebody? It cannot be a coincidence twice. Something is happening.”, he narrowed his eyes.
“I will immediately investigate this, Sir.”
Jinhai was now left alone in the meeting room. He stared up at the ceiling and drew a long sigh. He slowly raised his hand and touched the back of his neck. He felt the scar and closed his eyes.

“What!? Is this true Jianyu? You are not pulling my leg, are you?”, Mother Chen asked doubtfully.
“No, Mom. I really asked her out and she really agreed to date me.”
She was ecstatic.
“That’s such good news! Finally the day I have been waiting for has come.”, she was in her own world now.
“If everything goes well, we can announce Nana and your engagement in the next month’s Chen’s celebration banquet!”
