Chapter 242: 242: I Don’t Need to Explain Myself

The style of the not-so-spacious executive office is simple and clear.

The cool breeze brushes through the open windows, intermittently rustling the papers on the desk.

Jin Chenye’s tall figure stands by the window, a cigarette perched on his fingertips, though he doesn’t smoke.

The flickering ember of the cigarette, sometimes shines on his face, unveiling his obscure mood, and then vanishes.

Jin Chenye stands straight, his gaze empty as he stares ahead.

There’s the sound of footsteps behind him. Jin Chenye’s eyes narrow, his melancholic expression withdraws as he turns around.

“Boss, following your order, all the loose shares in the stock market have been gathered. Here are the latest results.” The assistant strides in, placing the file on the table and lowers his voice to report.

“Any suspicions aroused?” Jin Chenye glances at it, his lips parting indifferently.

“None so far.”

“Keep a close eye on Dan Hanjie. The moment he makes a move notify me.” Jin Chenye instructs cautiously.

“Yes.” The assistant paused for a second, “Boss, Miss Qin was absent at this afternoon’s regular meeting.”

“Do you know where she went?” Jin Chenye’s gaze sharpens, his clenched fingers subtly betray his worries.

“According to the duty secretary, she was discussing the details of a contract at Dan Group. I had someone check. Miss Qin had lunch with Dan Hanjie at Ying Shui Pavilion before heading over to Dan Group.”

The assistant paused, then spoke again.

“Boss, why not let Miss Qin know that you never intended to imprison her? Even if Dan Hanjie hadn’t forced Miss Meng to retract her statement, we had already prepared a rescue plan. At most, she would have been detained for a while, as a warning.”

Now, Dan Hanjie seems like the good guy.

And it’s obvious that the boss hasn’t moved on…..

“She won’t appreciate it, and I don’t believe she didn’t hurt my mom, she doesn’t believe that I won’t hurt her… She holds a grudge against my mom, and similarly, against me too.” Jin Chenye’s eyes darken, his tone plummeting.

“But it’s good this way too, hatred is also a way to keep someone close.” Whether it be her hating him or him hating her, neither can escape the other.

“Let someone keep tabs on Dan Hanjie, continue buying shares in Qin Group. This time, start with the old stockholders of Qin Group.” Jin Chenye’s gaze hardens, leaving only a cold demeanor on his face.

Every movement, every assertion conveys the decisive aura of a ruler.

“About Miss Qin remaining at Dan Hanjie’s side…”

“Find an excuse and get her back to the company as soon as possible.” As Jin Chenye finishes his sentence, he sees a figure out of the corner of his eye by the door, his gaze narrows.

“Miss Meng.” The assistant is taken aback, extending a polite greeting to the unexpectedly appearing Meng Ziqi.

Glancing at Jin Chenye who didn’t say anything, the assistant takes his leave respectfully.

“Ye, can’t you let go of Qin Youxuan? Even if she’s your sister, even if she wants to take your mom’s life!” Meng Ziqi rushes over to Jin Chenye’s desk, the grip on her purse taut in anger.

If she hadn’t heard it herself, she would never believe that Jin Chenye would give such directives to his assistant.

Is he bothered that Qin Youxuan and Dan Hanjie are spending time together? Does that mean, he has never let go of that woman, not even for a moment?

“When did I need to explain my business to you?” There’s a slight shift in Jin Chenye’s gaze as he straightens his collar and glances at Meng Ziqi’s upset expression.
