Chapter 288 A Long-Awaited Reunion: Jiang Yunzhou Can Never Let Shu Ying Go.

Ye Zhanying was about to lash out, but remembering that Shu Ying had come to do serious business, she immediately made way for her.

She followed behind Shu Ying, hands on her hips, more excited than anyone else, as if her own daughter had made something of herself.

Jiang Yunzhou stood behind Orlov and Novich, his eyes fixed on Shu Ying.

The long-awaited reunion didn't bring the expected tears; instead, it brought joy at seeing Shuying safe and sound.

The moment Shu Ying stepped out of the car, slowly appearing in his field of vision, the whole world seemed to suddenly gain a splash of color in a black and white picture.

At that moment, he knew in his heart that he would probably have to live his life clinging to this one thought.

After all these years, he still couldn't let go of his obsession with Shu Ying.

Even though he had been using his career to numb himself all these years, when that person actually appeared in front of him, all the things he thought he had forgotten would rush back. Countless moments came at the same time, and when he saw his beloved again, all that remained in his heart was heartache.

Perhaps they shouldn't have parted ways, but everyone has their own destiny, and fate doesn't always go as planned.

With Shu Ying's arrival, the waiting crowd became somewhat restless. Although they knew from Jiang Yunzhou that a girl would be coming, they did not expect her to be so young and as beautiful as a flower, making it hard to look away.

Commander Zeng and Old Du walked at the front, and Liu Hui and Factory Director Zheng Deming, who were anxiously waiting, immediately ran over as soon as they saw them.

"Old Du, Brigade Commander Zeng, you've finally arrived."

They were all eagerly waiting here, practically like ants on a hot pan.

The team that went out to chase the person yesterday still hasn't found any clues. But the person couldn't have gone far. We need to investigate which direction the secret passage leads.

This is a matter of life and death, and it has already caused widespread panic. There is no time to lose; the truth of the case must be revealed as soon as possible.

Brigade Commander Zeng extended both arms and grasped Liu Hui's hands, saying, "Director Liu, you've been waiting for a long time."

After he finished speaking, he measured his body and then gestured to introduce Shu Ying, who was standing next to him.

"This is Comrade Shu Ying. We have already learned the basic situation on the way here. Is there anything else you need to introduce? Please let us get acquainted with it first."

Shu Ying nodded, showing no stage fright even in front of so many people.

She extended her hand and said, "Hello, Director Liu."

Liu Hui, his face full of excitement, politely extended half his hand to shake it. "Comrade Shu Ying's arrival is like a timely rain. We have already pieced the documents together, but a part is still missing. The original is right here. In addition, we suspect that someone may have copied the data, but we do not have any evidence yet."

Wu Linghua and Zhou Weizhou exchanged a glance; it seemed the mission was imminent.

However, Du Zhiwei looked somewhat unhappy.

Liu Hui, a department head, practically had his eyes light up when he saw Shu Ying.

Shu Ying nodded, only seeing a patch of blood on the ground. Chen Guilin was covered with clothes; Xie Zhiyan was worried she would have nightmares, so he deliberately blocked her view.

Zheng Deming realized Xie Zhiyan's intention, waved his hand, and soon someone covered the corpse with a white cloth.

"Director Liu, I need to review those documents first. I also need paper and pen. That's all I can think of for now. I'll let you know if I need anything else along the way."

Liu Hui quickly put down the paper and pen. "Okay, I'll have someone prepare them right away. Everyone, please move to the department office. It'll be quieter there. There will be someone here to handle things. The police will come and coordinate with us later."

Wu Linghua just wanted to see the original document as soon as possible. She even brought a dictionary with her today, but she didn't know if it would be of any use.

As Shu Ying followed Director Liu forward, she noticed a burning gaze upon her. She didn't immediately recognize Jiang Yunzhou; she chatted with the people around her for a long time before finally meeting his eyes.

Knowing that the other person was there, she had no other emotions when they met. The moment their eyes met, Shu Ying nodded to him and continued to follow Liu Hui inside.

Jiang Yunzhou stared at Shu Ying's back for a long time.

The last time they met, she also showed him her back, but at that time she was still alone, and there were endless possibilities between them.

But when they met again, she was now a mother of two, and standing beside her was the person who would accompany her for the rest of her life.

He had tried to ignore the bitterness in his heart, but Shu Ying had occupied almost the entire first half of his life.

They were childhood playmates and had been the subject of jokes about getting married. Though the speaker meant no harm, the listener took it to heart and he had indeed fantasized about it countless times.

During those arduous days of studying abroad, the only thing that could sustain him was Shuying's smile.

He thought that if he worked harder and became more outstanding, Shu Ying would eventually notice him.

It wasn't until the news of her marriage came that Jiang Yunzhou belatedly realized that matters of the heart don't discriminate based on who came first or who came later, and there's no such thing as being close to someone and getting the moon first.

But he always felt regretful. Someone as wonderful as Shu Ying deserved a better man. Who in this world could possibly be worthy of her?

Jiang Yunzhou's mind was in complete turmoil, and he even forgot to conceal his fiery gaze.

Seeing that Shu Ying had left, Ye Zhanying and Qi Zecheng immediately ran to Xie Zhiyan's side.

Ye Zhanying glanced in the direction of the office, a smile still on her face.

"I thought you would arrive earlier. It's not a long distance, why did it take you so long?"

Xie Zhiyan glanced at her, then turned away calmly, seemingly having no intention of answering her question.

Ye Zhanying didn't understand what he meant, pointed to herself with one finger, and looked at Qi Zecheng next to her.

"What is he so proud of? Just because he married a good wife? What's so great about that? He's not the one who's amazing."

Ye Zhanying was unconvinced.

Qi Zecheng comforted her like a caring older brother, "Didn't you realize that he didn't want them to come at all? He probably couldn't reason with them. Don't you know his temper? He takes out all the anger he gets from his wife on his brothers."

Ye Zhanying looked as if he had just had a sudden epiphany.

She punched Xie Zhiyan hard in the back without any mercy. "I knew your expression was off today. If you ask me, this is where you went wrong. Comrade Shu Ying has the ability, why stop her from shining? This is a great opportunity to make a contribution. Don't you know how many people in the compound are talking about her identity? Once this matter is publicized, who will dare to mock her anymore?"
