Chapter 1703 I Don't Seem to Know You

Qin Yuan smiled and waved his hand: "Don't say that, I just did what I should do. But, Jiaojiao, you still have to be careful in the future. There is a mixed bag of people in this kind of place."

Meng Jiaojiao nodded with a solemn expression: "I know, but sometimes, I just want to come here to release the pressure. You know, since my father passed away, I feel like the whole world is pressing on my shoulders. "

When Qin Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Meng Jiaojiao. He patted her shoulder gently and comforted: "Don't worry, everything will be fine with me here."

The two continued to drink and chat, and the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed. However, what they don't know is that there is a pair of eyes silently watching them in the dark, and those eyes are full of jealousy and resentment...

As the night wore on, the crowd in the bar began to disperse. Qin Yuan and Meng Jiaojiao walked out of the bar and prepared to leave separately. However, at this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in their sight.

"Jiaojiao, why are you here?" The person coming was none other than Meng Jiaojiao's stepmother, Li Wan. Her eyes were full of surprise and anger, as if she had discovered some ulterior secret.

When Meng Jiaojiao saw this, her expression changed. She quickly adjusted her mood and said coldly: "What does it have to do with you if I drink here?"

Hearing this, Li Wan was so angry that she trembled all over: "You... how could you do this! Not long after your father came in, you did this to yourself! Are you worthy of him?"

When Meng Jiaojiao heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red. She gritted her teeth and held back tears: "Don't mention my father! You have no qualifications! You don't understand me at all!"

After saying that, she turned around and ran away, leaving Li Wan and Qin Yuan standing there stunned. Qin Yuan looked at Meng Jiaojiao's retreating back, his heart filled with worry.

When Qin Yuan saw this, he quickly chased after him.

The night was dark, and the sea breeze was blowing through the streets of Haidong City with a bit of coolness. Qin Yuan drove slowly on the empty road, with a gloomy-looking Meng Jiaojiao sitting in the passenger seat. The atmosphere in the car was heavy and depressing, with only the faint light on the dashboard dancing between the two of them, as if trying to illuminate the haze in each other's hearts.

"Jiaojiao, what happened tonight..." Qin Yuan spoke, his voice gentle but with a hint of unnoticeable worry, "It's better to go as little as possible in the future. That kind of place is not suitable for you, you deserve a better life."

Meng Jiaojiao lowered her head, gently stroking the bag in her hand with her fingers, and looked out the window with empty eyes: "A better life? Qin Yuan, do you know? Since my father passed away, I feel that everything has lost its meaning." Meng The consortium, that name that once made me proud, has now become a pain in my heart.”

When Qin Yuan heard this, his heart tightened. He understood the pain in Meng Jiaojiao's heart, but he also knew that the comfort at this moment was pale and feeble. But he still tried to persuade: "Jiaojiao, although your father is gone, you still have Tianyu and those of us who care about you. The Meng Family Group is your home and Tianyu's home, and it needs you to protect it together." ”

Meng Jiaojiao gave a bitter smile and turned around, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes: "Protect? How to protect? Do you know? Now the Meng Group has become an empty shell, and all of the so-called partners seem to have heard of it. The sharks that smelled of blood wanted a piece of the pie, and my father’s life’s work was about to be destroyed.”

Qin Yuan frowned. He did not expect that the situation of the Meng Group was so serious. But he knew that what Meng Jiaojiao needed at this moment was encouragement and support rather than empty sympathy.

"Jiaojiao, I know this is difficult for you. But you can't give up like this, and your father in Tianzhiling won't want to see you like this. Besides, Tianyu is still young, and he needs your guidance and support. You are His sister is also his role model." Qin Yuan's words were full of sincerity and power.

Meng Jiaojiao's eyes turned red when she heard this. She lowered her head and spoke slowly after a moment of silence: "Qin Yuan, do you know? I actually envy you. You have a firm goal, know what you want, and know who you are. What to do. And what about me? I once thought that as long as I worked hard, I could satisfy my father and move the Meng Group to a higher level. But now, I have lost my goal and lost everything. Momentum to move forward.”

Qin Yuan felt a pain in his heart. He stretched out his hand and patted Meng Jiaojiao's shoulder gently: "Jiaojiao, there will always be ups and downs in life. Although your father is gone, he left you more than just Meng Jiaojiao. Consortium, as well as his wisdom and courage. You can't deny yourself so easily, let alone give up. Tianyu needs you, and Meng's Consortium also needs you. We will get through this difficulty together. "

Meng Jiaojiao raised her head, with tears in her eyes, but more of a determination and gratitude: "Qin Yuan, thank you. With you here, I feel that I have strength again. But, I really don't know what to do. Only then can all this be saved.”

Qin Yuan smiled and said firmly: "Jiaojiao, remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can never lose confidence and courage. The first thing we have to do is to find out the truth about your father's death. I believe, As long as we find the truth, we can find a solution to the problem. Moreover, we must re-plan the development direction of the Meng Group and find new growth points. This requires your wisdom and decision-making, as well as our joint efforts."

Meng Jiaojiao heard a glimmer of light in her eyes. She knew that Qin Yuan was right. She couldn't just give up, she still had responsibilities and a mission. Moreover, she didn't want her father's life's hard work to be ruined in one day.

"Okay, Qin Yuan." Meng Jiaojiao took a deep breath, as if she had made some determination, "I will cheer up. Let's work together to protect the Meng Group and find out the truth."

When Qin Yuan heard this, he felt relieved. He knew that Meng Jiaojiao finally got out of the haze in her heart and regained the motivation to move forward. He smiled and nodded: "That's right, Jiaojiao. I believe in you and I believe that we will be able to get through this difficulty."

The car continued to drive forward, and the scenery outside the window was constantly changing. But the atmosphere in the car has become much more relaxed. Meng Jiaojiao and Qin Yuan began to discuss the future plans of the Meng Group and how to launch an investigation. Their conversation was full of wisdom and passion, as if they were drawing a blueprint for the future together.

Soon, the car stopped in front of the Meng family's gate. Meng Jiaojiao got out of the car and looked back at Qin Yuan, her eyes full of gratitude and reluctance: "Qin Yuan, thank you tonight. Without you, I might still be sinking and unable to extricate myself."

Qin Yuan smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "Jiaojiao, don't say that. We are friends and partners. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face it together and overcome it together."

Meng Jiaojiao nodded, with a firm light shining in her eyes: "Well, let's face it together and overcome it together. Qin Yuan, good night."

"Good night, Jiaojiao." Qin Yuan responded with a smile and watched Meng Jiaojiao walk into the house.

However, just when Meng Jiaojiao was about to disappear from sight, she suddenly turned around and shouted to Qin Yuan: "Qin Yuan, let's go to the company together tomorrow! I want to start over, for my father, for Tianyu, and for me. Own!"

When Qin Yuan heard this, his heart was lifted. He knew that Meng Jiaojiao had completely emerged from the gloom and had regained her own light. He smiled, nodded, and responded loudly: "Okay! Let's work together tomorrow, for the Meng Group and our future!"

In the night, the figures of the two people gradually blurred. But their dialogue and determination are like the brightest stars in the night sky, lighting up each other's path forward.

In the dark night, Qin Yuan drove through the streets of Haidong City, thinking about his next plan. Meng Jiaojiao's lost and tenacious eyes kept reappearing in his mind, making him more determined to find out the truth. He knew that Meng Tianyu, as the male member of the Meng family, should also take responsibility at this moment, stay with Meng Jiaojiao and give her the most solid support.

The car stopped in front of the Meng family villa, and Qin Yuan rang the doorbell. After a while, Meng Tianyu rubbed his eyes and opened the door with a sleepy look.

"Tianyu, why aren't you asleep yet?" Qin Yuan looked at the young man in front of him with a hint of reproach and concern in his tone.

Meng Tianyu yawned and scratched his head: "Brother Qin, I can't sleep, and my heart is always in chaos. Sister, is she... okay?"

Qin Yuan patted Meng Tianyu's shoulder gently, with a firm look in his eyes: "Tianyu, your sister needs you very much now. Although she looks strong on the surface, she is actually very fragile inside. As the only man in the family, you should spend more time with her. Stay with her and give her some comfort and support."

When Meng Tianyu heard this, his eyes sharpened, and he seemed to understand something instantly: "Brother Qin, you are right. I should spend more time with my sister. She has to bear too much on her own."

Qin Yuan nodded and softened his tone: "Well, that's right. Your sister needs the company of her family very much now. Moreover, you can't be immersed in sadness all the time. You have to cheer up and protect this family with you."

Meng Tianyu took a deep breath, with a firm light shining in his eyes: "Brother Qin, don't worry, I will do it. Then... what are you going to do next?"

Qin Yuan pondered for a moment, and a sharp flash appeared in his eyes: "I plan to investigate the last suspect, Liu Defa. Your father had many interactions with him during his lifetime, and as far as I know, his recent behavior is also very suspicious."

Meng Tianyu frowned when he heard this: "Liu Defa? I have heard of that person, but I don't know much about him. Brother Qin, you must be careful when checking him, he is not a good person."

Qin Yuan smiled and patted his chest: "Don't worry, Tianyu. I have my own sense of proportion. Your task now is to accompany your sister well and let her feel the warmth of the family. Leave other matters to me."

Meng Tianyu nodded, his eyes full of trust in Qin Yuan: "Brother Qin, you must be careful. I will wait for you to come back and uncover the truth together."

Qin Yuan smiled and nodded, turned around and left the Meng family villa. He knew that the road ahead would be full of unknowns and dangers, but he was willing to go through fire and water for Meng Jiaojiao and the Meng family without hesitation.

In the night, Qin Yuan's figure gradually disappeared at the end of the street. Meng Tianyu closed the door, turned around and walked towards Meng Jiaojiao's room. He knew that his sister must need him very much at this moment.

Early the next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone on the land of Haidong City, Qin Yuan had already changed into casual clothes and was ready to set off to find clues about Liu Defa. He knew in his heart that it would not be easy to find Liu Defa, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would not give up.

After some inquiring and investigation, Qin Yuan finally learned a secret of Liu Defa - he likes to go to underground casinos very much! This discovery made Qin Yuan's eyes light up. He knew that underground casinos often hide all kinds of dirty transactions and secrets. Maybe there, he could find more clues about Liu Defa.

So, Qin Yuan disguised himself and sneaked into the underground casino where Liu Defa often went. The casino was bustling with people, filled with smoke, and various gambling games were going on. Qin Yuan looked around, looking for Liu Defa's figure.

Finally, he saw Liu Defa at a gaming table in a corner. Liu Defa had a sinister face and cunning eyes, and he was concentrating on the gambling game. Qin Yuan was secretly happy and quietly approached Liu Defa.

"Hey, isn't this Boss Liu? How's your luck today?" Qin Yuan greeted him pretending to be familiar, trying to get more information.

Liu Defa raised his head and glanced at Qin Yuan, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes: "Who are you? I don't seem to know you."

Qin Yuan smiled, took out a wad of bills from his pocket, and placed it on the gambling table: "Boss Liu, don't be so nervous. I'm here to play a few games, and I want to make friends with Boss Liu."

When Liu Defa saw this, the vigilance in his eyes relaxed a little: "Oh? Making friends? Then you have to be careful, I am not easy to get along with."

Qin Yuan smiled and didn't take it seriously: "What are you talking about, Boss Liu? I think Boss Liu is also a cheerful person. How about we have a bet to establish friendship?"

When Liu Defa heard this, he laughed loudly: "Okay! I like cheerful people! Then let's have a game!"

As a result, the two began a fierce gambling game. Qin Yuan deliberately let Liu Defa win, and gradually gained Liu Defa's trust.

"Brother, you are so lucky!" Liu Defa smiled proudly and patted Qin Yuan on the shoulder, "But it doesn't matter, brother, I will teach you two tricks, and I guarantee that you will win every time you gamble in the future!"

Qin Yuan smiled and pretended to be grateful: "Thank you very much, Boss Liu, for your advice. But having said that, Boss Liu likes gambling so much, is there any special place to go? I heard that some casinos have a lot of good things hidden there. What’s the stuff?”

When Liu Defa heard this, his eyes froze, but he quickly returned to normal: "Oh? Brother, do you know this too? It seems that you are also an expert. But those places are not accessible casually, you have to have connections."

Qin Yuan's heart moved and he knew that Liu Defa had taken the bait. He smiled pretending to be mysterious: "Boss Liu, to tell you the truth, I actually have some connections. It's just that I haven't found a suitable partner. I wonder if Boss Liu is interested in working together?"
