Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 132 - 0130 Don’t worry, I’m here!

The falling leaves were withered, and the gentle wind carried a hint of coldness, yet for Longjia Group, this season heralded a particularly troubled autumn!

The death of Shen Tianlong and the suicide of an old shareholder of Longjia Group thrust the spotlight back onto Shen Mengchen, the beautiful chairwoman.

Whether Shen Mengchen, hailed as the Hua Mulan of the business world, could make it through this tough time and steer Longjia back on course was the subject of much speculation.

Even though the police had not made the news of Shen Tianlong’s sudden death public, the information still became widely known, which infuriated Shen Mengchen. Grieving and angry, she sat in silence in her office for an entire day.

"Young Master Ye, perhaps you should go in and comfort Miss Shen," the housekeeper, Liu, said to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu nodded and pushed the door open to enter. Liu, the housekeeper, set about dealing with the aftermath of Shen Tianlong’s death.

The office was shrouded in darkness, lit by only a faint glimmer of light.

Despite being broad daylight, Shen Mengchen had covered all the windows of her office, blocking out any sunlight.

Shen Mengchen sat on the sofa, staring blankly, motionless.

The lively girl of yesterday had been defeated by the death of Shen Tianlong and the upheavals within the company.

Ye Qiu didn’t speak; he just quietly walked over and sat next to Shen Mengchen, and the two of them sat there together.

Who knows how much time had passed when Shen Mengchen’s head rested on Ye Qiu’s shoulder.

"Have you made up your mind?" Ye Qiu asked softly.

"Yes."

"Then be strong, pull yourself together, and finish the task your father left undone. He hasn’t really left; he is still watching over his daughter from heaven, hoping she is happy."

Speaking of her father, Shen Mengchen couldn’t help but let her tears fall, soaking Ye Qiu’s shoulder.

"Now I’m all alone, Ye Qiu, can you understand how I feel?" Shen Mengchen said. She did not cry out loud but let her tears flow continuously.

"At least you’ve seen your parents. I don’t even know who my birth parents are. I was raised by my master from a young age. I can understand how you feel," Ye Qiu said wistfully.

This was also the first time that Ye Qiu had spoken about his own background.

"Now that he’s gone, nobody will indulge my little temper tantrums anymore. Seeing my father lying there in peace, my heart really hurts," Shen Mengchen said, trembling. Each time she spoke of her father, she couldn’t control her emotions.

"You still have me," Ye Qiu said calmly.

"Will you indulge me and spoil me?"

"I will."

"Come back to your senses and become the grown-up Shen Mengchen I see in my eyes. Don’t disappoint your father; under your leadership, Longjia will become stronger than ever."

"Will it?"

"It certainly will."

The two sat that way in the pitch-dark office, in absolute silence, when suddenly Shen Mengchen stood up. She walked to the window and drew back the curtains; sunlight flooded in, banishing the darkness with its brilliance.

"Father loved standing here, looking at the scenery," Shen Mengchen said, facing the sunlight. With her eyes closed, she basked in the warmth. Turning around, she flashed a radiant smile, "Ye Qiu, thank you."

Seeing Shen Mengchen wipe away her tears and reveal a look filled with fighting spirit and motivation, he knew Shen Mengchen had recovered.

Ye Qiu stood up and, shoulder to shoulder with Shen Mengchen, they looked out of the window together.

In the sky, two swallows appeared, chasing and playing with each other as they flew past the window into the distance.

Before long, Shangguan Hong arrived. Having learned of Shen Tianlong’s passing, she made a special trip to the company to visit Shen Mengchen. The quiet conversation between the two women was something Ye Qiu didn’t overhear, and he left the Longjia building.

He was now eager to find the assassin who had killed Shen Tianlong, not just for Shen Mengchen to avenge her father, but for another crucial reason—the identity of the perpetrator.

Confucians disrupt the law with words; knights break the law with force!

In the world of ordinary people, there are rules for ordinary people; in the world of martial artists, there are likewise rules for martial artists.

Martial artists generally do not interfere with the affairs of ordinary people, just like Ye Qiu, although a personal bodyguard, never persecutes an ordinary person. It is both a principle and a rule. However, the person who killed Shen Tianlong was different. When Ye Qiu examined Shen Tianlong’s body, he found that the person was a martial arts expert.

An expert committing murder against an ordinary person is taboo and crosses a boundary. Such people are the most dangerous and are despised by all in the martial world.

Those fearless of consequence are the most dangerous. Ye Qiu must find that person as quickly as possible, otherwise Shen Mengchen might be the next to die, and he would not allow such a thing to happen.

Ye Qiu found Huo Qian and hoped Huo Qian would help him investigate some matters. Without any hesitation, Huo Qian followed Ye Qiu’s instructions and had people gather information.

He would not count on Lin Qiao’er to find the murderer. Given that it was someone from the martial world, the police would find it very difficult to deal with, and even catching a glimpse of a shadow would be tough.

He had not seen Huo Qian for some days, and after a quick meal together, Ye Qiu hurriedly left.

Ye Zi had something to do. For her, accustomed to being an assassin, moderate times are tolerable in short bursts, but if prolonged, Ye Zi starts to get restless. Seeing that Ye Qiu asked her to track down a stranger, Ye Zi appeared excited and left happily.

"Remember, do not engage with the person at all. Inform me immediately if there is any news so I can deal with it," Ye Qiu reiterated.

"Okay," Ye Zi turned and left.

...

Longjia Corporation, due to the reform initiated by Shen Mengchen, faced a strong backlash, especially after a senior shareholder’s suicide by jumping from a building, whisperings of another kind started to circulate.

Shen Mengchen was accused of biting the hand that feeds!

This unfavorable speculation spread not just within Longjia but also throughout the entire business community.

From her father’s sudden demise to the shareholder’s suicide, everything happened in one day. Shen Mengchen believed it was not a coincidence but someone deliberately targeting her.

After Shangguan Hong left, Shen Mengchen started to deal with the unsettled internal matters of the company.

Whose interests had she harmed?

And who coveted her position as chairman?

Shen Mengchen was far from foolish. She quickly narrowed her focus to one person.

Wang Jianguo!

Thinking of Wang Jianguo’s reactions in the past, especially his response when she announced the reform and offered some shares, his reaction was not very intense. This was a point of suspicion.

Moreover, according to her trusted subordinates, Wang Jianguo had not been in a bad mood these past two days, and those from Wang Jianguo’s faction initially appeared restless but soon became very calm without any noticeable actions.

"The lack of action is the biggest suspect," Shen Mengchen almost certainly believed that, whether it was her father’s sudden death or the shareholder’s suicide, there must be Wang Jianguo’s shadow behind it.

Having identified a target, Shen Mengchen started to consider her strategy. The thought of her beloved father being murdered filled her with indignant anger, but the more she felt this way, the more she reminded herself to stay calm. Only with calmness could she devise a better plan to bring her opponent to justice.

Before long, Shen Mengchen called Huang Ya into her office.

...

Sitting in the office, Wang Jianguo and Wang Xinhua were leisurely drinking tea.

"It looks like my plan is perfect. This should give Shen Mengchen enough to worry about. The company’s troubles are all her doing. Xinhua, release another statement, claiming that it was Shen Mengchen’s insistence on reform that infuriated the former chairman to death," Wang Jianguo revealed a sinister smile.

Wang Xinhua gave a thumbs up, "Big brother, that’s really clever!"

"Right, don’t get in touch with Rong Da for now. Now that Shen Tianlong is dead, dealing with Shen Mengchen will be much easier. If she catches us red-handed, this fire might burn us too, which would be losing the gains for the losses," Wang Jianguo cautioned.

"With Cheng Hu and Ruan Guotao left supporting Rong Da and without Ge Yusheng, Rong Da’s development will stop there. Once we seize the voice of Longjia and swallow Rong Da effortlessly, we’ll be the ones calling the shots in the business world of Zhongshan City."

"Heh, then let’s congratulate big brother in advance!" Wang Xinhua echoed.

Their laughter echoed in the office...
