On the way back, Mo Qingyun asked Ou Yunchen what he planned to do in the future, but Ou Yunchen was silent for a moment before laughing it off.
Ou Yunchen: "I'll pay off my debts first, maybe things will get better one day."
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "How will you repay it? You've sold everything you could, mortgaged everything you could, but you still can't pay it off."
Ou Yunchen: "Don't worry about me, I'll find a way."
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "Borrowing money from others is just robbing Peter to pay Paul, isn't it? You'll always have external debt."
Ou Yunchen smiled and didn't answer. His mind was entirely focused on how to use the evidence he had just obtained to completely expose Xie Youlin's true face.
Seeing that Ou Yunchen didn't want to continue the conversation, Mo Qingyun had no choice but to drop it. Both returned home with their own thoughts.
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "I'm going back to my room to lie down for a while."
Ou Yunchen: "You got up so early, you should rest for a bit."
Mo Qingyun hugged Ou Yunchen and went back to her room.
At this time, Ou Yunchen used smoking as an excuse and went to the balcony.
—Ou Yunchen on the phone—
Ou Yunchen: "I've figured out a way to deal with Xie Youlin."
Sister Hong: "Did you get the USB drive?"
Ou Yunchen: "Not yet, but I know his true identity."
Sister Hong: "What identity?"
Ou Yunchen: "I went to the orphanage where Mo Qingyun lived as a child and found a file. The little boy's name was Xiaoyu, and he was abandoned at the orphanage door at the age of four."
Sister Hong: "Was that Xie Youlin as a child?"
Ou Yunchen: "I can't be 100% sure, but that boy was deaf in both ears, yet Xie Youlin can hear. The only suspicious thing is that he knows sign language."
Sister Hong: "Children abandoned in that era mostly had some disability, and it was unlikely to find their biological parents."
Ou Yunchen: "But since Xie Hongtian died, the people I sent to follow Xie Youlin discovered he was very close to a deaf and mute couple, and they now live in the same neighborhood."
Sister Hong: "That deaf and mute couple lives in the same neighborhood as Xie Youlin? It seems their conditions are quite good."
Ou Yunchen: "It's possible Xie Youlin bought the house for them. Oh, right, I also saw that the couple seemed to call Xie Youlin son and were making pork rib soup for him."
Sister Hong: "Even if it can be proven that Xie Youlin was adopted, he still has the right to inherit Xie's fortune, unless Xie Hongtian's will stated that Xie Youlin is not entitled to inherit the property."
"But as it stands, with Xie Hongtian's sudden death, there was no time to make a will."
Ou Yunchen: "What should I do now?"
Sister Hong: "Perhaps you can find out that Xie Youlin was adopted to appease Mrs. Xie's madness, not to treat him as family. Xie Hongtian didn't intend for this non-biological son to inherit the family business in the future. You can also find evidence that he doesn't support his parents..."
—Ou Yunchen's call ends—
Turning around, Ou Yunchen happened to see Mo Qingyun standing behind him. He didn't know how long this little mute had been standing there, nor how much she had heard.
Mo Qingyun broke the stalemate first.
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "I want to go to the supermarket, are you going?"
Ou Yunchen: "No, I have something to do."
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "Okay."
Mo Qingyun went to the supermarket. She originally wanted to tell Ou Yunchen that she had come up with a plan.
That was, she would find Su Ruiyi. The Su family was so rich, and she liked Ou Yunchen so much. At this time, maybe she could help...
But when she heard Ou Yunchen preparing to use Xie Youlin's adoptive status against him, Mo Qingyun panicked, her mind went blank.
Should she tell Xie Youlin about this?
Let Xie Youlin lose the Xie family?
Or watch her friend, with whom she grew up in the orphanage, become an orphan again?
Mo Qingyun was very conflicted. She didn't know how to help them.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ou Yunchen had already begun his counterattack plan.
He had the paparazzi Fan Zhijie spread the news that Xie Youlin might not be Xie's biological son, which would cause some suspicion about whether this son killed Mrs. Xie to inherit the family fortune.
On the other hand, Ou Yunchen, through his conversation with Shen Yuxuan, also revealed how Xie Youlin had indirectly abused the mad Mrs. Xie, bringing new clues to the case.
Everything was waiting for Xie Youlin to take the bait. As long as he dared to publicly clarify that he was Xie Hongtian's biological son, Fan Zhijie would immediately release his daily life with the deaf and mute couple!
This caught Xie Youlin completely off guard!
***
As expected, the court summoned Xie Youlin. They obtained evidence that Xie Youlin had fired all the Xie family's servants after Xie Hongtian's death, and learned from the doctor that Xie Youlin had deliberately not given medicine to the sick Mrs. Xie.
Shen Yuxuan's image seemed to be gradually shifting from that of an intentional killer to a scapegoat. The entire internet was speculating, and the case was becoming increasingly complex, attracting a lot of attention!
Now, even Xie Youlin, who possessed the USB drive, could not take out the contents and use them.
Because the entire internet was watching, public pressure would force the authorities to reinvestigate.
Where could anything exist that could disregard fairness and justice in full view of the public, yet with partiality bring about supreme power?
Xie Youlin roared in anger in his office. Those people were no longer obeying him!
Threats no longer seemed to bring him the results he wanted!
Xie Youlin thought and thought. Shen Yuxuan was truly a troublesome woman. If she were to die in the detention center, perhaps the investigation would stop.
Wouldn't a quick conclusion be better?
Why make such a big fuss and force the case to be dug deeper!
Wasting each other's time and energy!
Xie Youlin immediately drove to the detention center, but at the entrance, he ran into Ou Yunchen coming out!
Xie Youlin rushed out of the car and questioned Ou Yunchen: "Why are you here? Are you colluding with Shen Yuxuan to harm me?"
Ou Yunchen: "I'm here to listen to stories."
Xie Youlin: "You're here to see Shen Yuxuan, right?"
Ou Yunchen suddenly grabbed Xie Youlin's wrist, pulled him closer, and whispered powerfully into his ear: "You're finished!"
In the second Xie Youlin was stunned, Ou Yunchen immediately pushed him away, got into a Koenigsegg, revved the engine, and disappeared into the distance, kicking up dust.
Xie Youlin became even more certain that Ou Yunchen was behind everything. It must have been from Shen Yuxuan that he heard the story and then slandered him online!
***
Ou Yunchen, who had been living at Mo Qingyun's place, played the role of a freeloader, but he would also show his capabilities occasionally.
For example, before Mo Qingyun got off work and came home, he would have dinner ready. He would also clean the house and do laundry during the day.
Even the neighbors thought they were a newlywed couple, and would praise Mo Qingyun for finding a capable husband when they met.
