You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

coincidence?

Jiang Che didn't believe it.

On the third night, he continued his investigation following the lead of the bank where the account was opened.

He doesn't have the authority to directly access bank statements, but he can make indirect inferences using information from publicly available channels.

The combined registered capital of the three companies is less than 20 million yuan, but the total amount of outsourcing fees they have undertaken from Jiangsheng Group over the past three years has exceeded 100 million yuan.

One billion.

This number left Jiang Che speechless for a long time in front of the screen.

One hundred million yuan was transferred out of the Southwest Branch through three shell companies.

So where did all that money ultimately go?

He continued his investigation.

On the fourth night, he finally found a new clue.

In the business registration change records of Zhaofeng Engineering, he found that the company had undergone an equity change a year ago. The original individual shareholders withdrew and a corporate shareholder called "Yingheng Capital" took over.

Yingheng Capital.

Jiang Che looked up the name in the National Enterprise Credit Information System.

Registered location: Port City.

His heart skipped a beat.

Company information in Hong Kong is not as transparent as in mainland China; much of the core data cannot be found on public platforms in mainland China.

Fortunately, the Hong Kong Companies Registry website has a paid search portal where you can find limited information on shareholders and directors.

Jiang Che took out his phone, paid the query fee, and waited for about three minutes before the system returned the result.

Yingheng Capital has two registered shareholders.

The first one is a company called "Hongyuan Investment (Gangcheng)".

He had seen that name before.

In the email Liu Anping sent last time, he mentioned Hongyuan Investment, which has a cross-shareholding relationship with the investment company under his second uncle Jiang Dahe.

The name of the second shareholder made Jiang Che's fingertips stop on the keyboard.

Yung Cheong Trust (Port City) Limited.

Although he had never seen the name before, the Hong Kong Companies Registry's search system allowed for further tracing of the shareholder chain.

Jiang Che then paid another inquiry fee and waited for about two minutes before the system displayed the registration information for Yongchang Trust.

Jinye Holdings Group Co., Ltd.

Brocade leaves.

The naming method was simple and straightforward. Jiang Che immediately associated the name with Ye Yunjin upon seeing it.

Jiang Che then searched through a series of data and finally confirmed that the company was a subsidiary of the Ye Family Group.

The Ye family of Gangcheng.

Ye Yunjin.

Jiang Che stared at the words on the screen, his brain working at lightning speed.

He had always thought that his second uncle Jiang Dahe's petty actions were merely part of an internal power struggle.

A jealous younger brother wants to skim profits from the company, plant his own people, and slowly erode the family's assets.

This was still within Jiang Che's expectations and acceptable range.

But now, the appearance of Mr. Ye has completely changed the nature of the whole matter.

Ye Yunjin is Su Qinghe's biological mother and a member of the Ye family in Gangcheng.

In order to find Su Qinghe, this woman plans to gradually expand the Ye family's businesses and influence to the mainland.

And now, Ye has just appeared at the end of a financial chain suspected of transferring assets of Jiang Sheng Group.

Hongyuan Investment linked Jiang Dahe and the Ye family together.

That is to say-

There is likely some kind of entanglement of interests between Second Uncle and Ye Yunjin.

Jiang Che frowned as he began to recall Ye Yunjin's sudden appearance in front of Su Qinghe to acknowledge their kinship.

Was Ye Yunjin's reunion with her daughter truly driven solely by maternal affection?

Or is she trying to use Su Qinghe to play a bigger game in mainland China?

If there is indeed a collaboration between Second Uncle and Ye Yunjin, could her purpose in approaching Su Qinghe be related to Jiang Sheng Group?

After all, Su Qinghe is now Jiang Che's girlfriend.

If Ye Yunjin can influence Su Qinghe through the bond of "mother-daughter relationship," and then influence Jiang Che through Su Qinghe, then her position in this game will be far more than just that of a mother who wants to reunite with her daughter.

Thinking of this, Jiang Che felt a chill run down his spine.

He wasn't afraid to confront people head-on, whether they were his second uncle's men or Liu Wei's men; he would fight them one by one.

But Ye Yunjin is different.

She is Su Qinghe's biological mother.

Jiang Che knew that Su Qinghe said she didn't care about blood ties, only about the feelings between the two of them.

But when that day actually comes, if Ye Yunjin says or does something using her status as a mother, will Su Qinghe be completely unaffected?

He wasn't sure.

The study door was gently pushed open.

Su Qinghe walked in wearing a loose-fitting home T-shirt and carrying a cup of hot milk.

She didn't say anything, her gaze first falling on Jiang Che's face, looking at him for two seconds.

Under the light, the boy's profile was sharp, but there was a heavy feeling between his brows that she rarely saw.

His eyes were fixed on the screen, but his gaze remained fixed for a long time, clearly indicating that he was thinking about something.

Su Qinghe collected her thoughts, then walked in and placed the milk on the table.

Hearing the noise beside him, Jiang Che finally came to his senses and turned to look at her.

"Qinghe? Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I couldn't sleep," Su Qinghe said softly. "I noticed your study light was on, so I came to check on you."

She didn't ask him what he was busy with, nor did she jump over to look at his computer screen as usual.

She simply pulled up a chair and quietly sat down next to him.

Then I picked up the accounting textbook I hadn't finished reading this afternoon and silently turned to Chapter Six.

The two of them stood facing their own lights, neither of them saying a word.

The only sounds in the study were the soft rustling of turning pages and the chirping of insects from afar outside the window.

Jiang Che could always faintly smell the fragrance of the girl beside him.

Under this influence, he lost interest in continuing to look at the materials.

Jiang Che turned his head slightly, his gaze first falling on Su Qinghe's profile, and then on the way she turned the pages of the book with her fingertips.

In fact, Su Qinghe wasn't reading at all.

She flipped through the pages too slowly, pausing for a very long time on each page.

Judging from her learning progress over the past few days, this pace is far below the normal level.

She just wanted to be with him.

"Qinghe".

"Um?"

Su Qinghe looked up at him.

Jiang Che reached out and ruffled her hair. "I've drunk the milk. You go to sleep now."

Su Qinghe shook her head and carefully turned to the next page of the textbook.

"If you don't sleep, I won't sleep either."

Su Qinghe's attitude was extremely firm.

Jiang Che looked into her stubborn eyes, opened his mouth, but ultimately did not persist.

Because he knew it would be pointless to say anything.

Once Su Qinghe gets stubborn, not even ten oxen could pull her back.

"Alright then." Jiang Che sighed helplessly, reached out and closed the laptop. "Let's go back to sleep."

Su Qinghe then showed a satisfied expression, obediently stood up, put the textbook in her hand on the desk, and then naturally took Jiang Che's hand.

The two returned to the bedroom, turned off the lights, and got into bed.

Su Qinghe snuggled into Jiang Che's arms like a kitten, her face pressed against his chest, her breathing gradually becoming even.
