Zhan Yangyi didn't know how he got home. He was supposed to find Chen Yutong, but why did he feel lost after hearing those things?
"Yutong, was it really you who did it?"
Zhan Yangyi recalled Chen Yutong's behavior that day, as well as some subsequent events.
Chen Yutong was so abnormal during that period, yet he had never thought of it in a negative way.
If Chen Yutong had killed Old Master Zhan for the inheritance, but unexpectedly, the inheritance Old Master Zhan divided among them was far less than imagined, so she ran away from home.
Thinking of it this way, it was so reasonable.
Zhan Yangyi clenched his fist. Regardless of whether the truth was like this, he had to find Chen Yutong himself and confirm everything from her mouth.
Zhan Mohan had also been searching for Chen Yutong without stopping, but three days had passed, and Chen Yutong's whereabouts were still unknown. There were some intelligence reports saying that Chen Yutong had appeared in certain areas.
"Mr. Zhan, we've already sent people to check these areas, but we haven't found Miss Chen."
Fang Xun said with some regret.
Zhan Mohan frowned. His understanding of Chen Yutong was limited, so he could only search based on these clues.
Just then, Zhan Yichen walked into the office. "Brother, I have a clue."
He said, turning his phone towards Zhan Mohan. "I found sister-in-law's transaction account and discovered that she had contacted the buyer in the past two days. So, through some technical means, I obtained her current address."
Zhan Yichen displayed the found address to Zhan Mohan.
After looking at it, Zhan Mohan's heart stirred. This location was near the place where she and Zhan Yangyi used to live.
Perhaps Chen Yutong found that place to stay because she missed their past life.
"Let's go there now and tell Big Brother this news too."
Zhan Yichen nodded and immediately went to contact Zhan Yangyi.
Zhan Yangyi had almost believed that Chen Yutong had done all this for money.
But when he heard the location Zhan Yichen told him, he couldn't help but feel sad.
Chen Yutong was not without feelings for him; she had always loved him, and still did.
Along the way, he kept thinking about how to communicate with Chen Yutong properly. But when he thought of what Zhan Mohan had told him before, his heart sank to the bottom.
How could he face Chen Yutong?
"We're here." Fang Xun stopped the car.
Zhan Mohan, Zhan Yangyi, and Zhan Yichen got out of the car together.
This was a very simple residential area. No one would have thought that Chen Yutong would hide in such a place.
Following the address, they arrived at the door of Chen Yutong's current room.
Zhan Mohan and Zhan Yichen tacitly left the space for Zhan Yangyi. Zhan Yangyi finally stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Who?"
Chen Yutong's voice indeed came from inside the room.
Zhan Yangyi didn't speak but continued to knock. Finally, Chen Yutong opened the door.
The moment she saw Zhan Yangyi and the others, Chen Yutong immediately tried to close the door, but Zhan Yangyi was quick and blocked her action.
"Let go!"
How could Zhan Yangyi let go? "Yutong, can we talk?"
"We have nothing to talk about anymore," Chen Yutong said stubbornly.
Zhan Yangyi tried to relax his voice and said softly to Chen Yutong, "Yutong, we've finally come this far. Do you really want all of this to end like this?"
Chen Yutong bit her lower lip and said nothing.
"Let me come in and talk, okay?" Zhan Yangyi coaxed.
Chen Yutong couldn't help but look at Zhan Mohan and Zhan Yichen.
The two immediately understood and no longer stayed there, turning and leaving. Now, only Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong were left.
Chen Yutong still opened the door and let Zhan Yangyi in.
"You live here?" Zhan Yangyi looked at the situation in the room and frowned with heartache.
Chen Yutong said nothing, just sat on the sofa. "Just say what you have to say."
"Yutong, is that inheritance so important to you?"
"Yes," Chen Yutong said without thinking. "Our child needs more money, and so does our family."
"But all of this can be achieved through our own efforts. We don't have to go through such means." Zhan Yangyi said, taking out his promotion report from Zhan Corporation. "Look, I'm already a project manager. If this continues, our lives will get better."
Chen Yutong only glanced at it faintly but said nothing.
And it was precisely this look that made Zhan Yangyi a little sad. He didn't understand why, even after saying so much, Chen Yutong was still unwilling to compromise.
Or, for her, money was always more important.
"Yutong, come back with me. I know you might not be able to accept it now, but give me some time, and you'll see the changes in our lives." Zhan Yangyi said, reaching out to hold Chen Yutong.
But Chen Yutong kept her distance from Zhan Yangyi.
Zhan Yangyi thought he had been patient enough and was coaxing Chen Yutong.
But what he received was Chen Yutong's attitude. He had not directly revealed Zhan Mohan's suspicion of her, considering Chen Yutong's feelings.
He had intended to judge whether she was involved in this matter based on her reaction.
He had always believed in her, but why was everything only heading in a worse direction at this moment?
Chen Yutong's attitude was too disheartening for him.
"Do you love money that much?" Zhan Yangyi blurted out. "Or did you marry me for money from the beginning? Did you even kill Grandpa for the inheritance!"
"What did you say?" Chen Yutong looked at Zhan Yangyi incredulously.
Zhan Yangyi just looked at her coldly and said, "We have investigated everything. Grandpa's death was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. And you were the last one to leave the ward that day. Your emotions have been abnormal since then. It's also because you tampered with Grandpa, right?"
As soon as his words fell, he received a fierce slap from Chen Yutong.
"How... how can you say that? In your heart, am I that kind of person who would do anything?" Chen Yutong shouted at Zhan Yangyi.
Chen Yutong had never been so heartbroken before. Before, she was just angry, angry about everything Zhan Yangyi had done.
But now, Zhan Yangyi was saying this about her. How could she accept it?
"Get out!" Chen Yutong pointed angrily towards the door.
Zhan Yangyi looked at Chen Yutong, and his heart was no better. He was completely disappointed and stood up without hesitation, walking towards the door.
