The words seemed to grow heavier the longer she looked at them.

Saved.

That was the word her mother had avoided.

Six years ago, Lin Textile had been drowning in debt. Her father had already passed away, several suppliers were demanding payment, and the company had been close to shutting down.

Then an investor had appeared.

The debt had been restructured.

The company had survived.

Lin had always believed it was simply a business decision.

Now she wasn't so sure.

“Who left this here?” she asked.

  • The billionaire’s fake fiancée    Chapter 28

    The moment Lin Xinyue stepped out of Gu Yichen's office, her phone rang again.This time, it was Xiao Chen.“Where are you?”“Gu Group.”There was a pause.“With Gu Yichen?”“Yes.”Xiao Chen lowered her voice.“Then you should come back quickly.”“Why?”“I found something else.”Lin stopped walking.“What?”“The deleted authorization account wasn't just used to approve Han Zixuan's access.”Her expression changed.“What else was it used for?”“I can't explain it over the phone.”Lin glanced at Yichen.He was already watching her.“We're coming.”She ended the call.Yichen picked up his coat.“Let's go.”“You don't have to.”“I know.”He walked past her.“But I'm still coming.”Lin followed.This time, she didn't argue.---Twenty-five minutes later, they were back at Huaxin Law Firm.Xiao Chen was waiting in Lin's office.She looked nervous.“What did you find?”Xiao Chen turned the computer toward them.“I recovered part of the deleted access history.”Lin leaned closer.The screen s

    Lin did not sleep that night.Every time she closed her eyes, the same sentence returned.“The investor was Gu Yichen.”She sat by the window with a cup of tea that had gone cold hours ago.Outside, Shanghai glittered beneath the night sky.But inside the apartment, everything felt strangely still.She had spent weeks trying to uncover the identity of the person who had saved Lin Textile.She had expected a businessman.An investment company.Perhaps some wealthy stranger who had seen an opportunity when her family's company was struggling.She had never imagined him.Gu Yichen.The man who had walked into her life at the exact moment everything else was falling apart.The man who had helped her investigate the missing evidence.The man who had repeatedly told her that she did not have to trust him.Lin leaned back in her chair.Maybe that was why.He had known that eventually she would ask.She just hadn't expected the answer to hurt this much.Behind her, the bedroom door opened.He

    Lin Xinyue stood outside her mother's bedroom for nearly a minute before knocking.The apartment was quiet.Too quiet.She could hear the faint ticking of the clock in the living room.“Mom?”No answer.Lin knocked again.“Mom, are you awake?”The bedroom door opened.Lin Meiling appeared in her nightclothes, her expression sleepy.Then she saw her daughter's face.“What happened?”Lin stepped inside.“I need to ask you something.”Her mother's expression changed slightly.“About what?”“Dad.”The room went still.Lin Meiling's hand tightened around the edge of the door.“You haven't talked about him in years.”“I know.”“Why tonight?”Lin took the folded paper from her bag and handed it to her.Her mother read it.The color slowly disappeared from her face.For a long moment, she said nothing.Then she folded the paper.“Where did you get this?”“That doesn't matter.”“It matters to me.”“Mom.”Lin stepped closer.“I found records connected to Guangyuan Holdings. I found GHT-0614. I

But there should be a transfer receipt.”“Can we see it?”The archivist hesitated before nodding.“I'll check.”He walked away.Lin kept staring at the envelope

    Lin Xinyue did not reply to the message.She simply stared at the screen until it went dark.The words stayed in her mind.She had spent weeks asking who wanted Zhao convicted.Maybe that was the wrong question.What if the person behind everything did not care whether Zhao went to prison?What if the case itself was what they wanted?Lin slipped her phone into her bag.The legal records room was still behind her.She looked at the access log again.Han Zixuan's name remained on the screen.10:37 p.m.She took a picture of the record.Then another of the previous entries.She didn't delete anything.She didn't confront Han.Not yet.If he was involved, accusing him without evidence would only warn whoever was behind him.If he wasn't involved, she would be destroying the last piece of trust between them for nothing.Either way, she needed facts.Lin closed the records room and returned to her office.Xiao Chen was still there.“You're still working?”“I need a favor.”Xiao Chen immedi

    The courtroom was unusually quiet.Lin Xinyue noticed it the moment she walked in.The reporters who usually crowded the back rows were fewer than before. The whispers had almost disappeared. Even the prosecution team seemed more cautious.That worried her.When a courtroom became quiet after weeks of noise, it usually meant someone had changed their strategy.Lin placed her files on the table.Zhao Ming leaned toward her.“Is something wrong?”“I don't know yet.”Judge Chen entered.Everyone stood.The hearing began.The prosecutor rose with a new set of documents.“Your Honor, after reviewing the discrepancy raised by the defense, we have obtained the original transaction records.”Lin's eyes narrowed.Original?She hadn't been given those.The prosecutor handed the documents to the court clerk.Lin immediately stood.“Your Honor, may the defense inspect the records?”Judge Chen nodded.The clerk passed them over.Lin took the documents.She checked the transaction number first.814
