Huo Jin stopped him and said, "Don't alert Qin Tianyi yet. If Susu has really recovered her memory, she'll be even less likely to go to Qin Tianyi. Firstly, she needs to protect Little Star. Secondly, what's the use of finding an irresponsible man like Qin Tianyi? When he broke off his engagement with Shu Yan, he said he didn't want to delay her, but later he got Shu Yan pregnant. Shu Yan is already seven or eight months pregnant, and he's still unwilling to take responsibility. He's not a good person either."
"I always feel that Qin Tianyi isn't as you say. I watched him and Susu go through everything together. The only person he loves is Susu. How could... how could something happen with Shu Yan? There must be some misunderstanding in between." Chang Qingchuan remained skeptical about the recent dispute between the Shu family and Qin Tianyi.
However, Huo Jin believed and sympathized with Shu Yan in this matter. She said to Qingchuan with some dissatisfaction, "Just because he's your big boss, you think he's so devoted to Susu. I admit that Shu Yan, growing up in such a family environment, has a somewhat spoiled and eccentric personality. But as a woman, she wouldn't act recklessly in such matters, especially when it concerns the child in her womb. Why would she falsely accuse Qin Tianyi of being the father? I know she went abroad with Qin Tianyi that time, and they did stay in the same hotel. Uncle Shu checked the hotel surveillance. One night, Qin Tianyi went to Shu Yan's room. All the facts are clear, yet Qin Tianyi still wants to deny it, saying they'll do a DNA test after the child is born. This is a complete humiliation for the Shu family."
Chang Qingchuan, however, felt that Shu Yan was framing Qin Tianyi. In his eyes, someone like Shu Yan was capable of anything. But he didn't want to argue with Huo Jin about it anymore, so he said, "Then let's wait for the child to be born and do the DNA test. That way, no one will have anything to say."
"You..."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Where do you think Susu would go?" Chang Qingchuan changed the subject. "The problem is, she only has a fake passport with her. If no one helps her, where can she hide by herself, and how will she make a living? Could she have already left Lancheng?"
Huo Jin couldn't say for sure where she would go. After thinking for a moment, she said to Chang Qingchuan, "Why don't you go to Aoxiang Group tomorrow to see Qin Tianyi? Try to gauge his reaction first and see if Susu has contacted him. Then we can figure out a plan."
"That's the only way." Chang Qingchuan then asked worriedly, "Will Yang Sijie let it go after seeing that note and letter?"
"Of course not," Huo Jin said as if to herself. "Yang Sijie won't stop looking for her. Her doing this will only make Yang Sijie stop bothering us."
...
The next morning, Qin Tianyi sat in the president's office of the group. He glanced at the flight time to Paris that his secretary had booked for him. He would depart tonight and should be able to see Gu Susu by tomorrow evening.
He wanted to show Gu Susu the photos he had just obtained, to let her see what kind of person the man she liked, Yang Sijie, really was.
Qin Tianyi spilled all the photos from the envelope on his desk and admired them one by one, a charming curve forming on his lips.
Yang Sijie in the photos was around twenty years old, still very youthful. In New York's most famous club, he was wearing only pants with a simulated elephant head design, the trunk particularly long.
He was surrounded by a group of bejeweled old women. Some were directly stuffing dollars into his pants, while others were playfully pinching his long elephant trunk and joking with him...
It didn't matter that Gu Susu had lost her memory. Even if she hadn't, she wouldn't know that Yang Sijie had such a past.
Now, he was already imagining Gu Susu's expression when she saw these photos. This was the man she cherished. He wondered if she could still love Yang Sijie after seeing this.
How funny, it was truly hilarious!
At that moment, he heard a knock on his office door. He suppressed his smile, put the photos back into the envelope, and said, "Come in."
Xiao Anjing walked in quickly. Seeing that he wasn't holding any documents, Qin Tianyi asked, "Is there anything I need to sign? I'm flying to Paris this afternoon and should be back in a few days."
Xiao Anjing approached him and said with a solemn expression, "Young Master, Yang Sijie has come to Lancheng."
"He's come to Lancheng, alone?" Qin Tianyi asked, surprised.
Xiao Anjing knew he was asking if Gu Susu had returned with Yang Sijie. He replied, "It should be just him alone."
Qin Tianyi fell into thought, unable to understand why Yang Sijie would come to Lancheng alone. He had no investment projects in Lancheng recently.
Moreover, Sophie hadn't sent him any design drafts for a while. Several designs were supposed to be submitted yesterday, but yesterday he checked Twitter, and Sophie wasn't online, nor had she sent him any emails. Could something have happened in Paris?
Seeing that he had fallen silent, Xiao Anjing said worriedly, "Could that Yang Sijie have sensed something? Is he here to target us?"
"Impossible," Qin Tianyi believed that everything he was currently doing was highly confidential and would not be leaked.
"Then why is he here alone for no reason? I just inquired. He booked a suite in a grand hotel for a month. He'll likely be staying here for quite some time."
"I understand. Have more people keep an eye on him and report any of his actions to me immediately." Qin Tianyi rested his chin on his clasped hands. It seemed he needed to go to Paris as soon as possible to check if something had happened to Sophie, and if it was related to Susu.
"Alright."
"After I leave, no matter what happens here, you must stabilize the situation. I'll be back soon," Qin Tianyi instructed him.
He actually wanted to advise Qin Tianyi not to go to Paris at this time, but he also knew that once Tianyi knew Gu Susu was in Paris, he couldn't stop him.
Tianyi still couldn't completely forget about Gu Susu. After all, this woman had caused them considerable harm. Aoxiang Group was still recovering its strength.
"Understood." As Xiao Anjing walked out of the office, he encountered Chang Qingchuan, who had come to see Qin Tianyi.
Chang Qingchuan was talking to Qin Tianyi's secretary and saw him. He greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Xiao."
"Hello, Chief Chang. Why are you here? Is there something wrong with Mishang?" Xiao Anjing asked.
Chang Qingchuan smiled and said, "Nothing major. I have a few marketing proposals that I'd like President Qin to help finalize."
"Then you should go in quickly. President Qin is free right now. He's flying abroad this afternoon, so you've come at the perfect time." Xiao Anjing patted his shoulder and then returned to his own office.
Chang Qingchuan didn't barge in directly. He asked the secretary at the door to make an internal call to Qin Tianyi.
The secretary said he could go in, so he pushed the door open and entered Qin Tianyi's office.
