Old Port Tea Restaurant.
After Zhen Zhu left, Zhen Chongming immediately put the USB drive into the computer and scanned the data on it. His eyes flashed with ecstasy.
“I finally have the data.”
He called a number, saying as he spoke, “I’ll talk to Zhen Yiping tomorrow.”
This data was the Zhen family’s lifeline and involved many secrets of the group that could not be revealed to outsiders.
If this data was leaked or found out by compet.i.tors, it would be a fatal blow to the company.
With this data, Zhen Yiping would definitely agree to his return to Zhen Group.
The other party didn’t seem to agree with Zhen Chongming’s words and said lightly, “You want to threaten Zhen Yiping with this little bargaining chip?” “But this data is of great importance. Zhen Yiping should know the importance of it.”
Zhen Chongming was full of confidence. “I know him quite well. He values Zhen Group more than anything else and would never allow this information to be leaked.”
“I’m not doubting your judgment,”
“However, do you really believe that Zhen Zhu gave you what you wanted?” “You mean, this girl lied to me?”
Zhen Chongming’s pupils constricted. “But her only objective is to find out the truth about her mother’s death. Now that she knows, she probably hates Zhen Yiping to the core. How could she give me fake data?”
“She and Zhen Yiping are related by blood, and Shen Hanyu has been mediating their relationship.”
The other party sneered. “Shen Hanyu was able to convince her to return to the company, and he was also able to get Zhen Yiping to acquiesce to her. How do you know what the true nature of their relationship is?”
“So you mean…” Zhen Chongming asked suspiciously.
“Add another chip. It would be best if there were no problems with the data. If there were any problems with it, at least we still have a backup plan.”
“I heard that Zhen Zhu has been praised by Zhen Yiping in the company recently. Let me see how he will choose between the Zhen family and his daughter.”
Zhen Chongming’s eyes flickered as if he was conflicted. However, after a few seconds, he made a decision. “Alright, I’ll listen to you!”

Tang Bochuan took the earliest flight back to the capital, saying that he would arrive at the hospital by noon.
It was obvious that Shen Hanyu had informed Tang Bochuan in advance. When he received Zhen Zhu’s call, he was not surprised at all and understood Zhen Zhu’s feelings. “Miss, come to the hospital to find me.”
“Let’s find a place to talk after I’m done reporting to President Zhen.”
Zhen Zhu felt uneasy the entire morning.
It was only eleven o’clock when she left the company in a hurry and drove to the hospital.
The car got off the highway and was about to turn when it collided with a car.
The huge impact caused her body to slam into the seat. She was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses.
Fortunately, she was fine, but the front of the car was damaged and could not be driven.
The driver had already gotten out of the car. His car was also badly hit and could not drive anymore.
That person was about the same age as her, and his att.i.tude was very friendly as he kept apologizing.
Zhen Zhu had urgent matters to attend to, so it wasn’t convenient for her to argue with him.
She called the insurance company and waited for the personnel to come over and handle it. After towing the car away, she stood by the roadside and called for a taxi.
The driver of the car called a friend to pick him up in advance. When he was about to get into the car, he saw Zhen Zhu standing by the roadside and walked over apologetically. “Miss Zhen, if you have something urgent, why don’t I give you a ride? I’m really sorry about what happened today.”
Zhen Zhu looked at the time and didn’t think too much. “Sure, thank you.”
The car stopped by the roadside not long after they moved. She was puzzled. “What’s wrong?”
The driver smiled and turned around. “I have to pick up two more people.”
Zhen Zhu frowned, but before she could say anything, the back door opened from both sides and two young and strong men got in. Both of them were expressionless and sat on either side of her.
The car quickly restarted and the shadows of the trees on the roadside flew past.
This was not the way to the hospital at all. Moreover, the speed of the car was a little too fast.
Her heart sank. “What do you want?”
The driver looked at her with a strange smile. “Miss Zhen Zhu, your Seventh Uncle asked us to pick you up.”
Her expression changed slightly. “I’m busy now. I don’t have time to see him.”
As she spoke, she wanted to pull the car door open, but the people on both sides quickly grabbed her and s.n.a.t.c.hed her phone at the same time.
“Well be there very soon, as your Seventh Uncle is waiting for you.”
“Miss Zhen Zhu, don’t struggle.” The driver smiled.

Zhen Yiping leaned against the bed. He looked weak, but his eyes were still bright.
He stared at Tang Bochuan. “Does Hanyu really think so?”
“Yes, the explosion was definitely not an accident. It’s not just President Shen who thinks so, it’s also… What I think.”
Tang Bochuan said in a low voice, “The relationship between the military factory and the upper management has been intertwined over the years. The few CEOs have their own ways of doing things, and the people below are also competing to show their loyalty. There are many people involved in this incident.”
He reported everything that he had found out in the dark these past few days. He lowered his voice so that only Zhen Yiping could hear him. “President Shen said that if we want the Zhen family to stay out of this, we have to be ruthless and pull out the carrot from the mud before we can give an explanation to the higher-ups. However, this would be equivalent to exposing our own dirty laundry. This would definitely kill a thousand enemies and damage eight hundred from this. The huge scale of the Southwest Military Factory is equivalent to a blood interchange. It will be difficult to say whether we could continue to gain the trust of the higher-ups in the future.”
Tang Bochuan paused for a moment. “President Shen said that this matter is of great importance. Therefore, President Zhen must make the decision personally before he can make the next step.”
Zhen Yiping’s expression was solemn. After a long silence, he sighed heavily.
The military industry had always been a part of the Zhen family’s main business. Because he trusted the people his father left behind, he had not been involved in it for many years.
There had been cases of management personnel fighting for power in the past, but it did not affect the business. On the account that those people were all old people, Zhen Yiping only compromised and persuaded them to reconcile each time. He did not take it to heart.
But now, the secret struggle between those people had seriously interfered with the development of normal business and even caused such a big mess.
Exposing his own family’s dirty laundry and breaking his own arm was painful, but right now, it was the most beneficial to the Zhen family.
Otherwise, even if the family could hide this matter, if the higher-ups’ investigation team found out one day, the Zhen family would be completely helpless.
“I’m not there, so let Hanyu do it for you.”
Zhen Yiping said slowly, “Tell him that I support any decision he makes.”
Tang Bochuan nodded in agreement. There are still some things that President Shen asked me to give to you. It was about… The investigation of the truth behind the death of Eldest Miss’s mother.”
He took out a portable hard drive from his briefcase and placed it in front of Zhen Yiping.
Only then did he say respectfully, “President Shen said that the evidence he found when he went overseas the last few times is inside. He didn’t want to let you know at this time, but Eldest Miss has been quite anxious. President Shen was afraid that something would happen at this juncture, so he still asked me to bring it back to you..”
