Chapter 845: 845: You're Making It Difficult for Me

Yin Zhen said, “I deeply regret now, I was too naive, thinking that I could compete fairly, but I didn’t expect him to attempt to kill me right off the bat.”

“Considering that you and Tangtang have been friends, I can offer you some help,” Wen Yanqing said calmly, “I know people, and Chen Tian’s subordinates who responded to the call at your house must have secured some initial evidence. If you want to take the legal route, I can help you.”

To his surprise, Yin Zhen shook her head, her gaze turning cold, “Investigations, collecting evidence, interrogations, the whole set of procedures is too slow, and I’d also be risking him cunningly getting away.”

“It seems you don’t plan on using the law to protect yourself?”

“I don’t want to drag out a fight with them, since he’s using underhanded tactics, why can’t I take a shortcut.”

“Miss Yin, I’m a law-abiding good citizen,” Wen Yanqing shook his head, “You want to fight fire with fire, but if someone catches you and kills you, what about your mother?”

Yin Zhen fell silent.

After a long while, she said, “That’s why I’m asking for your help. Given your current position, you must have no shortage of enemies, but none of them is a match for you.”

Wen Yanqing leaned back in his chair and sighed slightly, “This puts me in a difficult position; after all, this is a family matter of yours. Helping you provides me no benefit.”

“I will pay you,” Yin Zhen said.

Wen Yanqing smiled slightly, “Do you think I need money? You know, if it weren’t for your trouble and Tangtang being so concerned, always visiting the hospital, I might be enjoying pool time with Tangtang right now, you understand, right?”

He sighed lightly, “I booked a hotel to teach her how to swim, and what a great opportunity all wasted.”

Yin Zhen clenched her teeth, “What do you want?”

“It’s not what I want, but what you can offer,” Wen Yanqing chuckled, “After all, aside from being your good friend’s husband, I’m also a businessman.”

“I’ll offer you satisfactory benefits,” Yin Zhen promised, “Once I’m recovered and discharged from the hospital, I’ll come to Shengfang with sincerity to discuss it in detail.”

“I believe Miss Yin is honest and trustworthy. To avoid Tangtang constantly worrying about you, I’ll lend a hand first,” Wen Yanqing said composedly, “But it will take some time to put into action. Can you wait?”

Yin Zhen exhaled a heavy breath, “I can, as long as it’ll bring them down, I can wait.”

Wen Yanqing added, “However, I have a condition, the specifics of our discussion today—there’s no need to tell Tangtang, so as not to worry her.”

Yin Zhen nodded and then said helplessly, “Gantang can weather the storm, she’s not a delicate flower in a greenhouse.”

“How is she not?” said Wen Yanqing, “She’s delicate and soft and needs to be carefully cherished in the palm of the hand.”

Yin Zhen: …Illness has left me unable to retort.

Have you selectively forgotten how Lin Gantang used to roll up her sleeves and get to work?

After finishing their conversation, Wen Yanqing didn’t stay long in the hospital room with Lin Gantang, after all, Yin Zhen needed to rest.

Lin Fan saw the two of them out and received a call from his agent upon returning.

“When are you coming back? I’m afraid you’ll miss tomorrow’s audition,” said the voice on the phone.

Lin Fan stood at the corner of the wall, looking at the hospital room in front of him, and said, “Brother Fan, I’m not going to the audition, clear my schedule for these days.”

“President Yin’s health hasn’t improved?” As Lin Fan’s agent, Yu Fan was well aware of the relationship between Lin Fan and Yin Zhen.

“Right, her current situation isn’t very good, I want to stay with her.”

There was silence on the other end of the line, followed by Yu Fan’s soft sigh, “Alright, make your own decision, but I hope you won’t regret it later. After all, Director Yang’s productions are top-notch, it’s such a shame to miss out.”
