After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it
Chapter 40 Bright Future
Xiang Mei's disappearance was like a bomb, shattering Xiang Yu and Yan Jin's already precarious hearts. They could not imagine how desperate the girl who was once willful and yet innocent would be now.
"My little sister must have encountered some difficulties that she left behind such a letter." Xiang Yu clenched his hands into fists, his knuckles turning white, "We must find her!"
Although Yan Jin was disappointed with what Xiang Mei did, she was her younger sister after all, so she couldn't just sit back and watch. "What do you think?"
"I checked the company's surveillance. My little sister was last seen in a cafe in the suburbs." Xiang Yu pulled up a photo on his phone and pointed at a blurry figure. "I'm going to go there and take a look. Maybe I can find some clues."
"I'll go with you." Yan Jin said without hesitation.
The quiet environment of the cafe in the suburbs was in sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city. Xiang Yu and Yan Jin found the seat where Xiang Mei had sat and carefully searched for any clues that might have been left behind.
"Look!" Yan Jin suddenly pointed at a tiny scratch on the table, "This looks like some kind of symbol."
Xiang Yu carefully identified it and frowned. "I seem to have seen this symbol somewhere..."
"Could it be..." Yan Jin seemed to have thought of something, and his expression turned a little ugly.
"Yes, it's 'Night Owl'." Xiang Yu said in a deep voice, "When I was investigating the internal problems of the company, I accidentally found some clues about this organization. They act in secret and ruthlessly, and specialize in commercial espionage."
"You mean, my little sister might have a connection with this 'Night Owl' organization?" Yan Jin's heart sank.
"I can't be sure yet, but..." Xiang Yu paused and took out a micro USB flash drive from his pocket. "I found this in my little sister's room. It should contain some of her secrets."
The two returned to the car and connected the USB drive to the laptop. As the files were opened, a shocking truth gradually surfaced.
"How could this happen..." Yan Jin looked at the content on the screen, his face as pale as paper.
"It seems that we all underestimated my little sister." Xiang Yu's eyes flashed with a complicated look, "We also underestimated the ambition of Night Owl."
The files in the USB flash drive show that Xiang Mei was not completely used by the "Night Owl" organization. She played a more important role in it and even took the initiative to provide intelligence to the "Night Owl" in order to retaliate against Xiang Yu and Yan Jin.
"Why would she do this?" Yan Jin shook her head in disbelief. "Even if there was a misunderstanding between us, she shouldn't..."
"Perhaps, we should think about it from another perspective." Xiang Yu's tone was frighteningly calm. "We are all responsible for my little sister becoming what she is now."
Yan Jin was silent. She knew Xiang Yu was right. Long-term neglect and misunderstanding had gradually twisted Xiang Mei's heart and eventually led her down a path of no return.
"Now is not the time to blame ourselves." Xiang Yu closed the computer, "We must find my little sister as soon as possible and stop her from making further mistakes."
"But where do we find it?" Yan Jin asked blankly.
"There is an encrypted message in the USB drive. After I deciphered it, I found that..." Xiang Yu took a deep breath, "It is a route map to the dock."
As night fell, the sea breeze howled. Xiang Yu and Yan Jin drove to the dock, and there was an air of uneasiness in the air.
"It seems we are late." Yan Jin looked at the empty dock and had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Wait," Xiang Yu suddenly pointed at a cargo ship in the distance that was about to leave the port, "That ship..."
"What's wrong?" Yan Jin followed his gaze and saw a familiar figure flash by on the deck of the freighter.
"It's my little sister!"
"Come on!"
The roar of the engine cut through the night sky, and two cars sped towards the dock, one in front and one behind... The roar of the engine echoed in the empty dock, Xiang Yu stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the black car rushed towards the cargo ship that was about to leave the port like an arrow. Yan Jin sat in the co-pilot, staring nervously at the approaching ship, his palms full of sweat.
"It's too late!" Yan Jin shouted anxiously as he watched the distance between them gradually widen.
Xiang Yu said nothing, his eyes firmly fixed on the freighter. He suddenly turned the steering wheel, and the car did a beautiful drift and stopped next to a speedboat at the dock.
"Get up!" Xiang Yu jumped out of the car and quickly untied the cable.
Yan Jin jumped onto the speedboat without hesitation. The roar of the engine sounded again, and the speedboat cut through the waves and chased in the direction of the freighter.
The sea breeze was howling, the waves were hitting the hull, Yan Jin held the handrail tightly, with mixed feelings in her heart. She had never thought that she would fight side by side with Xiang Yu in this way, and their common goal was to save the sister who had hurt her.
"We must stop them before they leave the high seas!" Xiang Yu said loudly, his voice drowning out the howling sea breeze.
Yan Jin understood that once the freighter entered the high seas, it would be like a fish entering the ocean. Trying to find Xiang Mei would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "What are you going to do?"
Xiang Yu did not answer, but pushed the accelerator to the maximum. The speed of the speedboat increased again, like an arrow shot from a bow, rapidly approaching the freighter in front.
At this moment, several figures suddenly appeared on the deck of the freighter, holding weapons and shooting in the direction of the speedboat.
"Get down!" Xiang Yu protected Yan Jin under his body. Bullets whizzed over their heads and hit the deck of the speedboat, splashing wood chips.
Yan Jin's heart was beating in her throat, but she knew that now was not the time to be afraid, she had to trust Xiang Yu.
"Hold on tight!" Xiang Yu shouted, and suddenly turned the boat around and headed in another direction.
Bullets chased the speedboat, stirring up water columns on the sea. Xiang Yu relied on his superb driving skills to shuttle through the hail of bullets and avoid the attack of bullets.
"There are too many of them. We can't fight them head-on." Yan Jin said anxiously while hiding in the cabin, "We must find a way to contact for help!"
"It's too late!" Xiang Yu said, pulling out a black box from his pocket. "This is a signal jammer. It can temporarily cut off their communications and buy us some time."
He pressed the button and the box made a slight buzzing sound. Almost at the same time, the gunfire on the freighter stopped and the figures on the deck became panicked.
"Now!" Xiang Yu seized the opportunity, turned the bow again, and rushed towards the freighter...
The speedboat finally stopped under the freighter, and a huge shadow loomed over them. Yan Jin looked up at the behemoth in front of him, feeling a little uneasy.
"We have to go up." Xiang Yu climbed up the freighter's cable first, turned around and said to Yan Jin, "Be careful."
Yan Jin nodded and climbed up as well. There was no one on the deck of the freighter, only the sea breeze whistling past, bringing with it waves of chill.
"They should be hiding." Xiang Yu looked around vigilantly, "Let's split up and send a signal when we find my little sister."
Yan Jin nodded, and the two of them walked in different directions. The sound of their footsteps echoed on the empty deck, sounding particularly clear...
"It seems that we have found more than expected." In the dark cabin, Xiang Yu looked at the scene in front of him with a cold tone.
In the dim light, in the shadows of the piled-up containers, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin finally found the tied-up Xiang Mei. She was pale and obviously frightened, but she was safe. Seeing the two of them, Xiang Mei burst into tears, "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm so scared..."
Xiang Yu untied the ropes on her body and held her tightly in his arms, "It's okay, it's okay, brother is here."
"Brother, I was wrong," Xiang Mei said in a tearful voice, "I shouldn't have believed what they said, I..."
"Don't talk about it for now," Yan Jin interrupted her, "Let's leave here first."
Suddenly, Yan Jin's phone rang. It was her best friend Chen calling. "Jin Jin, I found out! The registration information of the freighter is fake, but according to my tracking, the real manipulator behind the scenes is..."
Before Chen's girlfriend finished speaking, a busy tone came from the other end of the phone. Yan Jin's face changed, and an ominous premonition came to her heart.
"What's wrong?" Xiang Yu asked.
"Something seems to have happened to my friend," Yan Jin said anxiously, "She found some clues, but before she could finish..."
"Don't worry, let's get my little sister back safely first," Xiang Yu comforted her, "I believe in your friend, she will be fine."
Just then, a deep voice came from behind them: "None of you can leave."
The three of them looked back and saw that Partner Zheng and a few men in black were blocking their way with a sinister smile on their faces.
"Mr. Zheng, what do you mean?" Xiang Yu asked coldly.
"What do you mean?" Partner Zheng sneered, "Xiang Yu, you don't really think I'm just an ordinary partner, do you? I tell you, I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"
"Why are you doing this?" Yan Jin asked, "You are also a partner of Xiang's. What benefits will this bring to you?"
"Benefits?" A trace of greed flashed in Zheng's eyes. "As long as I get rid of you and the Xiang family, the entire market will be mine! And you," he turned to look at Yan Jin, "Do you think you can really get rid of me? When I get you, I will let you watch with your own eyes that your company and your family will be destroyed in my hands!"
"You're crazy!" Yan Jin shouted angrily.
"Crazy? Hahaha," Partner Zheng laughed wildly, "Yes, I am crazy, and you guys drove me crazy!"
"Who is behind you?" Xiang Yu looked at him with a sharp gaze, "Who instructed you to do this?"
Partner Zheng's face changed, but then he returned to his sneer: "Want to know? Go to hell and ask!"
He waved his hand, and the men in black immediately surrounded him...
The men in black were approaching step by step. Xiang Yu protected Yan Jin and Xiang Mei behind him and calmly analyzed the situation. He knew that a head-on confrontation would only put him in a passive position, so he had to find a way to delay time.
"Mr. Zheng, aren't you afraid of legal sanctions for doing this?" Xiang Yu asked sternly, trying to awaken a bit of rationality in his heart.
“Law?” Partner Zheng laughed as if he had heard a joke. “When I control the entire market, I will be the law!”
"You are too naive," Yan Jin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "Do you think that what you did was really perfect? Do you think the people behind you will really let you get what you want?"
Partner Zheng's face changed slightly, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. Yan Jin's words seemed to have touched upon the anxiety deep in his heart.
"What do you mean?" He tried to remain calm, but his tone was trembling.
"You will know soon," Yan Jin said with a sneer on his face, "I have already notified the police, and they will be here soon."
When Zheng heard the word "police", he panicked. He didn't expect Yan Jin to be so prepared, and he didn't expect her to be so decisive in calling the police.
"Do it! Do it quickly!" He yelled hysterically, trying to silence Xiang Yu and Yan Jin before the police arrived.
The men in black rushed forward, Xiang Yu protected Yan Jin and Xiang Mei behind him, and fought a desperate battle with them. The container terminal suddenly fell into chaos, with shouting, fighting, and metal collisions intertwined, forming a thrilling scene.
At the critical moment, a burst of urgent sirens was heard at the entrance of the dock, and the dazzling police lights cut through the night sky, illuminating the entire dock.
"The police are here!" Someone shouted, and Zheng's partner and the man in black showed despair on their faces. They knew that everything was over.
The police quickly surrounded the entire dock and arrested Zheng Heyou and his men. Xiang Mei was also rescued. She threw herself into Xiang Yu's arms in shock and burst into tears.
Yan Jin looked at the scene in front of her, and her heart finally relaxed. She knew that the crisis was finally resolved.
However, at this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Dr. Wang.
"Ms. Yan, this is not good," Doctor Wang's voice was filled with anxiety, "Mr. Xiang..."
The piercing ring of the cell phone broke the brief tranquility of the dock. Yan Jin's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came over her. She took a deep breath, tried to stay calm, and answered the call.
"Doctor Wang, what's wrong? Is it my grandfather who..." Yan Jin's voice trembled slightly, and she didn't dare to say the worst possible scenario.
"Ms. Yan, please don't worry," Doctor Wang's voice was a little tired, "The old man is fine, but..." He paused, as if organizing his words, "It's just that he just woke up and was very excited. He kept shouting that he wanted to see you. I was afraid that his excitement would affect his condition, so I called you..."
Yan Jin's heart finally settled down. She let out a long sigh and said, "I understand. I'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Jin turned to look at Xiang Yu, only to see that he was looking at her with a worried look on his face.
"My grandpa has woken up and he wants to see me." Yan Jin said softly.
Xiang Yu nodded, held her hand, and said softly: "I'll go with you."
Yan Jin and Xiang Yu hurried to the hospital. In the ward, Old Man Xiang had recovered some of his spirit and was anxiously waiting for Yan Jin's arrival.
Seeing Yan Jin and Xiang Yu walk into the ward, Mr. Xiang's cloudy eyes were suddenly filled with tears. His lips trembled, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak because he was too excited.
Yan Jin walked to the bedside, held Grandpa's hand, and said softly: "Grandpa, I'm back, I'm fine."
Hearing Yan Jin's voice, Mr. Xiang finally couldn't hold back his tears. He held Yan Jin's hand tightly, as if he wanted to pour all his thoughts and worries into this brief contact.
Seeing this, Xiang Mei felt mixed emotions. She finally realized what a stupid mistake she had made. She almost lost her brother and her family.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I'm sorry..." Xiang Mei's voice was choked with sobs. She walked to Yan Jin and bowed deeply. "I know I was wrong. I was too willful and ignorant before. I caused you a lot of trouble. I promise I will change in the future. Please forgive me..."
Yan Jin looked at the tearful girl in front of her, her heart full of sympathy and pity. She knew that Xiang Mei was just temporarily lost and did not really want to hurt them.
"Let the past be the past," Yan Jin helped Xiang Mei up and said softly, "We are a family and we should stay together in the future."
Xiang Yu also came over, patted his sister's shoulder gently, and said: "You can recognize your mistakes, which is the biggest progress. I believe you will do better in the future."
After hearing what Yan Jin and Xiang Yu said, Xiang Mei could no longer stop crying. She threw herself into her brother's arms and burst into tears.
After going through this storm, the Xiang family finally reunited, and their hearts were more closely connected. With the joint efforts of Yan Jin and Xiang Yu, the Xiang Group overcame the current difficulties and ushered in new development opportunities.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines into the ward, casting a layer of warm light on this family that has gone through so much. They believe that every day in the future will be a bright future full of hope.
