On the way back, Meng Tingwan told Tang Qian everything that Xiao Wu had said earlier.

Tang Qian frowned slightly, looking bewildered by what she had just said. "Wanwan, did Xiao Wu really say that?"

“Yes, he had many people confirm that Chen Musheng did indeed stay there five years ago.” Meng Tingwan observed her reaction and felt that her complexion was not good.

"Qianqian, what's wrong? Did he say something to you?"

Tang Qian recalled what Chen Musheng had just told her, and combined it with what had just happened, she grabbed Meng Tingwan's hand and said urgently, "Wanwan, I checked Chen Musheng's information back then, and there was really no problem. There was not even any trace of him working in the palace. So I suspect that his identity information is wrong, and it is very likely that he is related to the person behind it."

Meng Tingwan thought it made sense. "Then I'll have Xiao Wu investigate again. But Qianqian, I think you should ask him about his identity yourself."

"But...but I haven't figured out how to tell him yet." Tang Qian looked troubled.

Especially after hearing what Chen Musheng said there, she was even more at a loss for words.

Meng Tingwan understood her inner turmoil and distress, so she took her hand and placed it over her heart, saying, "Then follow your heart. Its first reaction will be your answer."

As soon as the group returned to Yuezhou, people from the Tang family came and took Tang Qian away.

Because of this incident, Tang Group's stock started to fall in the morning. Fortunately, the Tang family is not a pushover; they have strong financial backing and can still control the situation.

Cheng Yu dropped Meng Tingwan off at the entrance of Jinghua Royal Garden. As she was getting out of the car, he took her hand and hugged her tightly. "Tingting, I might be back late these next few days. Don't wait for me. Take care of yourself."

Meng Tingwan responded softly, patting his back with her hand, "Go ahead and do what you need to do, don't worry about me."

“I arranged for people to protect you when you went out, and I’m also investigating the car accident.” Cheng Yu let go of her and gently rubbed her cheek with his fingertips.

"Okay, let me know when you have the results."

"Don't worry." Cheng Yu leaned down and kissed her forehead. "It's cold outside, come inside quickly."

Only after seeing her figure at the door did Cheng Yu turn around and get into the car. "Is he still at the company?"

Feng Zhuo knew who the boss was asking about, so he nodded and said, "Yes."

"Let's go back to the company."

"it is good."

In the president's office of the Cheng Group, Cheng Yan propped his feet up on the table and leisurely scrolled through videos on his phone.

"Miss, you cannot go in."

Suddenly, the secretary's voice came from outside the door.

Before Cheng Yan could react, Ye Mengtong appeared in front of him.

"Cheng Yan, you really are here!"

The girl's tone was somewhat angry.

"Tongtong? What brings you here?" Cheng Yan was surprised and immediately put her feet down from the table.

Ye Mengtong observed her surroundings, frowned, and asked, "What are you doing here? Also, why don't you answer my calls or reply to my messages?"

Looking at the expression on her face, Cheng Yan suddenly stopped himself from saying the words he was about to explain.

He caught a glimpse of the hem of his coat peeking out from the doorway out of the corner of his eye, and understood immediately. He put his foot back on the table, a nonchalant expression on his face. "This is my company. I can be wherever I want. As for why I don't want to contact you, well, of course, it's because I don't want to."

“You…” Ye Mengtong felt a surge of grievance when she saw the indifferent expression on his face.

"Don't want to contact me? Why don't you want to contact me?"

"No way, are you sick? You need a reason not to contact me?" Cheng Yan sneered, his eyes full of disdain. "I am the second young master of the Cheng family. Countless women want to get close to me. Do you think I need to write a long essay for you to dump a woman?"

Ye Mengtong couldn't believe that the man in front of her was the same man she had been with just a few days ago.

That's such a quick change of heart!

“Cheng Yan, I know you’re not that kind of person. Actually, I’ve been contacting you these past few days because I wanted to tell you something.”

"What is it? Speak up, then get out." Cheng Yan propped his head up with his hand, his entire being radiating impatience.

Ye Mengtong bit her lip before slowly speaking, "Cheng Yan, actually I..."

She wanted to say that she had known him for a long time and asked if he still remembered her.

Judging from the man's expression, even if I said something, it probably wouldn't make any difference.

So, she made up her mind and blurted out, "I like you."

Cheng Yan's expression froze, his eyes filled with disbelief, but he quickly blinked to hide his emotions. "That's it?"

Ye Mengtong nodded, "Mm."

"Okay, I got it. Get lost."

Cheng Yan's words pierced Ye Mengtong's heart, and her voice trembled, "Cheng Yan, is this your answer?"

"I think you're really sick in the head. Just because you like me doesn't mean I have to like you back. All the women in Yuezhou like me, do I have to like them all too?" Cheng Yan sneered. "Before, I was only with you for the novelty, and I did think you were good at gambling, but that's all."

"But there is indeed one regret, I couldn't sleep with you even once."

Ye Mengtong was enraged by his words. Her hands trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Cheng Yan, you are shameless!"

Cheng Yan raised an eyebrow nonchalantly, his tone flippant, "I've always been like this, but if you really like me, how about sleeping with me once?"

Ye Mengtong was furious. "I'll fucking sleep with your grandpa, Cheng Yan. People outside say you're a good-for-nothing, a parasite in the family, and I think it's true."

After saying that, she turned and left, her back view resolute.

Cheng Yan remained silent, but his hands, hidden under the table, were clenched very tightly.

Tongtong, I'm sorry.

There are some things I really can't involve you in.

He touched his face and looked towards the doorway again.

As Ye Mengtong walked out of the hall, she ran into Cheng Yu and Feng Zhuo coming in.

She didn't look to the side and quickly walked out the door.

After getting into the taxi, Ye Mengtong gave the driver an address and then thought again about what she had just said to Cheng Yan.

She didn't believe that a person could change their personality in just a few days, even if Cheng Yan had always been this way.

But his behavior today was indeed unusual.

Could something have happened to the Cheng Group?

Ye Mengtong pursed her lips and thought for a moment before taking out her phone and dialing a number.

The call was connected quickly.

"Brother, I need your help to investigate something."

-

Inside the office, Cheng Yan and Cheng Yu's argument attracted a lot of onlookers.

Rumors are circulating in the company group that the second young master Cheng is going to seize power.

The story quickly spread on Weibo.

Public opinion quickly escalated and became uncontrollable.

Meng Tingwan also saw the trending topic and couldn't help but feel a little worried. She picked up her phone to call Cheng Yu to ask him about it, but a number popped up first.

"Hello, Aunt Guo."
