Yan Jin rubbed her brows. She was exhausted from the investigations over the past few days, but the huge amount of money in Zheng's partner's company account was like a thorn that pierced her heart and made her unable to ignore it. She decided to find an opportunity to meet Zheng in person.

The next day, Yan Jin met with Zheng in the name of discussing cooperation. The two talked in a tea room for a whole afternoon, from project planning to future development. Yan Jin asked about the ins and outs of the funds in a roundabout way, but the other party was always vague and seemed to be hiding something.

After this meeting, Yan Jin became more certain of her guess that there must be something fishy going on between Zheng and Xiang Mei. However, before she could investigate further, Xiang Mei took action.

"Brother," Xiang Mei's delicate voice rang in Xiang Yu's ears, "I saw my sister-in-law meeting a man in the teahouse today, and they seemed to be chatting happily."

Xiang Yu stopped what he was doing and frowned slightly: "What did you say?"

"My sister-in-law and a man were in the teahouse. I saw that they were quite intimate..." Xiang Mei deliberately spoke ambiguously, observing Xiang Yu's expression, "Brother, do you think my sister-in-law would cheat on you..."

"That's enough." Xiang Yu interrupted his sister, with a hint of displeasure in his tone. He knew that his sister had always disliked Yan Jin and often said things to sow discord in front of him, but he didn't expect that this time it would be brought up to this kind of thing.

"Brother, I'm just worried about you..." Xiang Mei wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Xiang Yu's cold look.

Xiang Yu pretended not to care, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He thought of Yan Jin's recent abnormal behavior, those late-night calls, those reasons for leaving early and returning late... Could it be that she was really hiding something from him?

At night, Yan Jin returned home, only to find Xiang Yu sitting in the living room, his face gloomy and silent. Her heart sank, and a bad premonition came to her mind...

Yan Jin walked into the living room and keenly noticed the oppressive atmosphere in the air. She calmly put her bag on the sofa, walked to Xiang Yu, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the company?"

Xiang Yu raised his head, his deep eyes fell on her face, with a hint of scrutiny and inquiry: "Where did you go this afternoon?"

Yan Jin understood, it seemed that Xiang Mei had already started her performance. She smiled casually and said, "What's wrong with talking about cooperation with a partner?"

"Partner? Which partner?" Xiang Yu asked, with a barely perceptible nervousness in his tone.

Yan Jin answered naturally, "It's Mr. Zheng. I have cooperated with the company several times before, and this time I want to discuss a new project."

"Mr. Zheng?" Xiang Yu repeated the name. The scene described by his sister emerged in his mind, and his doubts deepened.

Yan Jin saw through his thoughts and said frankly, "I know what you are thinking. Did someone tell you that I met a man in the tea room this afternoon? That man is President Zheng. We were just discussing business. If you don't believe me, you can check it out."

She looked directly at Xiang Yu with clear eyes and spoke in a sincere and firm tone. She believed that with Xiang Yu's judgment, he should be able to distinguish the true from the false.

However, what she didn't know was that Xiang Mei had already anticipated that she would explain to Xiang Yu and had arranged the "evidence" in advance.

At this moment, Xiang Yu's cell phone suddenly rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was his driver.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"Mr. Xiang, the woman you asked me to keep an eye on just came out of the teahouse with that man. Now they are in the same car, and the direction they are going seems to be..." The driver's voice was very low, but his tone could not hide his surprise.

Xiang Yu's face turned pale in an instant, and the fingers holding the phone turned slightly white due to the force.

"Send me the address." He said coldly and hung up the phone.

Yan Jin noticed his change in mood and felt a little uneasy: "What's wrong?"

Xiang Yu did not answer, but picked up his coat and strode towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Yan Jin asked.

"Go and verify some things." Xiang Yu said this without even turning his head, then slammed the door and left.

Yan Jin's heart suddenly sank, and an ominous premonition came to her mind. She immediately realized that something must have happened that she didn't know about...

Yan Jin stood there in a daze. Xiang Yu's figure slamming the door and leaving was like a heavy hammer, hitting her heart hard. Confirm? What did he want to prove? Confirm that she, Yan Jin, was a fickle woman who was secretly meeting other men behind his back?

An unprecedented grievance and anger rolled in her chest. She clenched her fists tightly, trying to control the emotions that were about to burst. She told herself to stay calm. Xiang Yu must have misunderstood something. She had expected Xiang Mei's tricks. But why? Why did he believe those unfounded accusations so easily, and he didn't even give her a chance to explain?

Yan Jin fell weakly on the sofa, replaying every moment she had spent with Xiang Yu in her mind. From the initial marriage agreement, to the later mutual respect, to the current mutual trust, she asked herself that she had never done anything to let him down. The funny thing was that he kept saying that he respected and trusted her, but in the end he even lost the most basic judgment.

The phone rang suddenly, and Yan Jin took a look. It was Xiang Yu calling. She hung up the phone without hesitation. At this moment, she was in no mood to talk to him, and she didn't want to listen to his cold questions.

She stood up and walked to the window, looking at the gradually darkening sky outside, feeling lost. What should she do? Should she continue to stay here and endure his suspicion and distrust?

No, she won't!

Yan Jin took a deep breath, and her eyes gradually became firm. She wanted to leave here, to give herself some space to think calmly, and to give Xiang Yu a chance to see the truth.

She returned to the bedroom, packed a few clothes, picked up her phone, and dialed a number...

"Hey, help me arrange a flight tonight to go to Country M."

There was a busy tone on the other end of the phone. Yan Jin hung up the phone, picked up her suitcase, and left Xiang's villa without looking back. After leaving the villa, Yan Jin drove directly to Chen's best friend's residence. She needed someone to talk to, and she needed someone to help her sort out her thoughts.

"What? Xiang Yu actually suspected you?!" After listening to Yan Jin's story, Chen's best friend stood up abruptly. Even her delicate makeup couldn't hide the anger on her face. "Why did he do that? Just based on those words that Xiang Mei said to sow discord?"

Yan Jin shook her head weakly, buried her face in her hands, and choked up a little: "I don't know... I really don't know what to do..."

Chen's best friend hugged Yan Jin distressedly, patted her back gently, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, Jinjin, I believe you. This matter must be caused by Xiang Mei, we can't let her succeed!"

"But, what can I do?" Yan Jin raised her head, her eyes reddened, "I've already explained it, he doesn't believe me, what else can I do?"

Chen's girlfriend's eyes shone, and she said firmly: "Explanation? What's the use of explanation! What we want is evidence! Jinjin, don't worry, I will definitely help you find evidence to prove your innocence!"

Yan Jin looked at Chen's determined eyes, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart. Yes, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death, she had to clear her name!

When she left Chen's girlfriend's place, night had already fallen. Yan Jin returned to the villa and looked at the empty room with mixed feelings. She left a letter on the desk, which was full of helplessness and disappointment, but also expressed her final trust and expectation for Xiang Yu.

"Xiang Yu, when you see this letter, I have already left. I know that you must be full of doubts and disappointment in me now, but I still want to tell you that I have never done anything to let you down. The reason why I chose to leave is not because I feel guilty, but because I need time and space to prove my innocence. I hope that you can give me a chance to explain, and I also hope that you can believe me..."

After doing all this, Yan Jin dragged her heavy suitcase and left the villa that had carried so much of her laughter and tears without looking back.

Late at night, Xiang Yu returned to the villa, only to find that the living room, which should have been lit, was now dark. Feeling a little uneasy, he quickly walked into the bedroom, only to find that the room was empty, with only a letter on the bedside table.

He opened the envelope with shaking hands, and saw lines of familiar handwriting. The contents of the letter were like needles, piercing his heart.

"Believe me……"

These three words seem so powerless and pale at this moment.

Xiang Yu sat dejectedly on the bedside, replaying Yan Jin's resolute back as she left in his mind. Only then did he realize what a stupid decision he had made.

He stood up suddenly, grabbed the car keys, rushed out of the villa, and drove into the night...

At the same time, Xiang Mei's room was brightly lit. She raised a triumphant smile, picked up her phone, and dialed a number: "Hello, the plan is going well. Next, it's our turn to act..."
