After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 273 Finding a Way to Break Through

Led by the administrator, we entered the dimly lit warehouse on the second floor.

The smell of old paper filled the air, and the piles of file boxes seemed to be silently telling the story of bygone years.

The administrator pointed to a dusty bookshelf in the corner and said in a low voice, "The shipping records and contract filings from twenty years ago are all there. Take your time to look them up, and call me anytime if you need anything."

I nodded slightly, suppressing my eagerness, and quickly walked to the bookshelf, pulling out a stack of files to carefully read through.

Jiang Yichen and I, who were standing next to each other, each picked up a stack of documents, our eyes focused, carefully searching line by line and word by word.

In the silence, time slipped by quietly, and the atmosphere in the warehouse grew increasingly oppressive.

Suddenly, my fingers stopped, and my gaze settled on a yellowed contract, where the name "Lin Shu" stood out.

My heart skipped a beat, and my eyes lit up instantly. I hurriedly handed the contract to Jiang Yichen, my voice trembling: "Look, this is the shipping contract signed by Lin Shu. The date is exactly the same year the fake drug case happened."

Jiang Yichen took the contract, scrutinizing it with sharp eyes, a cold glint flashing in his gaze: "That's right, this is the key evidence we've been looking for."

I stared intently at the contract with a serious expression: "With this, we might be able to uncover a corner of the conspiracy between the Jin family and Lin Shu."

Overwhelmed with joy, I almost shouted out loud, but I forced myself to hold back and said in a low voice, "Great! We've finally made a major discovery!"

Jiang Yichen looked at me, his eyes full of approval, and the corners of his lips slightly raised: "Thanks to your persistence and keen insight, we were able to find the clues so quickly."

I smiled back and said in a relaxed tone, "This is thanks to our team; everyone was indispensable."

"Let's go back first. Now it's time for the Jin family and Lin Shu to pay the price." Jiang Yichen's voice was low and firm.

"Mmm," I replied softly, my heart brimming with fighting spirit.

However, just as he was about to leave, Jiang Yichen suddenly stopped, his eyes deep: "Continue investigating, there may be more crucial clues."

I nodded and looked down at the files again.

His fingers glide lightly across the paper, his gaze focused.

Every detail is like an important piece of a puzzle, waiting to be pieced together to complete it.

Just then, my phone vibrated gently in my pocket.

I quietly took out my phone. It was a message from Little Sweetie: "Sister Mo, there's someone lurking around outside suspiciously. Something seems off."

These people are from the Kim family; they've been monitoring us.

My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly replied, "Keep a close eye on them and don't let them get close to the archives."

"Understood." Sweetie's reply was brief and decisive.

I put down my phone, looked at Jiang Yichen, and whispered, "Little Sweetie said there's something going on outside; someone's been loitering nearby."

Jiang Yichen's eyes were sharp as an eagle's, and his voice was icy: "It seems that someone doesn't want us to find out the truth and wants to stop us."

I nodded silently, my unease spreading rapidly like vines.

We must speed things up, or we will fall into an even bigger crisis.

"Keep searching." Jiang Yichen's tone left no room for argument. "Time is running out."

I took a deep breath, suppressing my unease, and quickly flipped through the files, my eyes blazing.

Inside the warehouse, only the rustling sound of papers turning echoed.

At this moment, Little Sweetie remained highly vigilant outside.

Her slender figure, bathed in sunlight, resembled that of an alert lioness.

His eyes scanned the surroundings like an eagle's, his hand gripping his phone tightly, ready to sound the alarm at any moment.

The phone vibrated again, and Xiaotiantian's nervous voice came through: "Sister Mo, there are more and more people, and they are slowly getting closer."

"Stay vigilant and notify me immediately if anything unusual happens."

I tried my best to keep my voice steady.

"clear."

After a brief response, the call ended.

I continued flipping through the files, with Jiang Yichen standing beside me.

“There’s a problem here.” I pointed to a line of text in the file and said in a low voice, “The time points mentioned in Lin Shu’s confession don’t match Grandpa’s schedule.”

Jiang Yichen leaned closer to examine it, his brows furrowed, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "There is indeed a contradiction. If what she said is true, then Grandpa wasn't at the company at all at the time, there must be something hidden behind this."

Lin Shu's confession seemed to conceal a deeper secret, but I couldn't be sure what it was. I turned to the next page, my fingers lightly gliding over the paper, my eyes gleaming. A bank statement came into view; my pupils contracted slightly, and my heart suddenly raced.

"Jiang Yichen, look at this!" My voice trembled slightly with excitement as I pointed forcefully to a line of records on the transaction details. "Three months before the incident, Lin Shu's account received a huge remittance, and the remitter turned out to be the predecessor company of the Jin family!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen immediately leaned closer to examine it carefully.

His brows furrowed, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: "The timing is too coincidental. This remittance is exactly one week before your grandfather signed the shipping contract. There must be some shady dealings behind it."

I nodded vigorously, a mixture of excitement and nervousness in my eyes: "Yes! This is definitely not a coincidence. Lin Shu is very likely the mole planted by the Jin family in the Jiang family. She took money and betrayed the Jiang family at a crucial moment!"

Jiang Yichen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile: "It really is her. But things are probably not that simple; there may be a bigger conspiracy behind this."

I looked up at him, my eyes sparkling with excitement, as if I had already glimpsed the outline of the truth.

Jiang Yichen looked at me, and his eyes suddenly softened.

He reached out and gently patted my head, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze: "You're amazing."

Just then, a loud crashing sound came from outside the warehouse.

My heart jumped into my throat, and I almost dropped the file in my hand.

Jiang Yichen quickly stepped in front of me, his eyes sharp as a hawk's, watching the warehouse door warily.

Just then, a figure darted into the warehouse. I was about to cry out in surprise when I saw the person close the door behind them and block it with a heavy object.

The mysterious man slowly removed his hat and mask, revealing a young and resolute face, with a fierce and persistent look in his eyes.

He was slightly out of breath, glanced at me and Jiang Yichen, and broke the tense silence with his words: "My name is Qin Yu. The Jin family ruined my family and caused my death. I have been lying low for many years, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge."

A painful memory flashed in his eyes as he continued, "Back then, the Jin family resorted to any means to seize my family's business. They first framed my father for business fraud, causing him to be unjustly imprisoned, where he suffered torture and eventually died with resentment. My mother couldn't bear such a blow and died of depression not long after. As for me, I managed to escape and have been living under an assumed name all these years, collecting evidence of the Jin family's crimes."

Qin Yu clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, his tone filled with hatred: "I've been secretly keeping an eye on the Jin family's every move. I know about their feud with the Jiang family, and I also know that you're investigating the fake medicine case. I followed those henchmen of the Jin family and found that they were heading towards the archives, so I guessed that you might be in danger, and that's why I came to help."

Jiang Yichen and I exchanged a glance. Jiang Yichen nodded slightly, his eyes showing more trust: "Thank you. We'll handle this together."

Qin Yu's gaze was firm: "They have a lot of people, we need to think of a way. We can't let this evidence fall into their hands."

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down: "Yes, let's hide the important evidence first, and then figure out a way to break through."
