In the garden, the two people speaking fell silent, and Shen Yun’an’s brows slightly furrowed.
Shen Yi, however, was not afraid of him and spoke frankly, "She seems unable to imagine how bad a person can become; I don’t feel at ease with Wanwan by herself in the country."
It was precisely because of this that situations one occurred; perhaps she wasn’t unaware of the danger she was in, but she hadn’t expected them to go to such extremes.
Before returning to the country, he had planned to go there after sorting out Ye Shiying’s affairs, but when he landed and learned that Ye Wanwan had been kidnapped, he was thrown into a panic.
Why did he have to be so far away from Ye Wanwan? Why couldn’t he protect her at the first sign of trouble?
If something had happened to her, what would he do?
These past few days, he was constantly with Wanwan, seemingly completely forgetting there was such a thing as work.
All he could think about was that as long as Ye Wanwan was safe and healthy, that was enough.
He had no other extravagant hopes, just as long as she was all right!
Shen Yun’an frowned and after a long while, he said in a deep voice, "Wanwan’s incident this time was an accident, and moreover, it served as a warning to her, so that in the future she won’t be so..."
Shen Yun’an initially wanted to say "foolish", but then he thought of her as his own daughter-in-law and felt he shouldn’t speak of her that way.
After all, his daughter-in-law was young and had not experienced the harshness of society, so it was normal for her to not expect the extent of another’s malice and to be naïve.
After a few seconds’ pause, Shen Yun’an continued, "Your trip this time will take at most three to four months, and you’ll be back soon."
Actually, the progress over there was going smoothly, and Shen Yi had already been away for quite a while, so his stay this time wouldn’t be long.
Shen Yun’an sighed softly, "Shen Yi, you are my only son, the responsibility of Jinghong is on you; you have to take it on."
This job in D Country, originally, didn’t have to be Shen Yi, but as everyone knew, once Shen Yi returned home this time, he was planning to step down and hand over the company management to him.
Because of this, the directors and executives in the company were all watching closely.
The Shen Family had its foundation for so many years, it could not be easily shaken by others, but they still needed to be cautious and not give others any leverage.
If Shen Yi were to take over the company, he needed to show some capability to make the directors recognize him as the new leader.
Shen Yi remained silent, fully aware of his father’s intentions, but the thought of Ye Wanwan made all those things seem unimportant.
Ye Wanwan hadn’t expected to overhear these words, so she turned around and quietly left.
A week had passed since Ye Wanwan’s kidnapping. Ye Mingrui, who confessed to the kidnapping and murder at the villa, had been formally detained, awaiting the court’s judgment.
However, there was a problem with Ye Shiying’s side. She admitted to the murder but insisted she acted under threat—if she hadn’t killed Qin Yansen, Qin Yansen would have killed her.
It was in self-defense that she had attacked Qin Yansen!
Professional appraisers had verified that Ye Shiying indeed bore signs of being beaten, and given the severity of her injuries long after Qin Yansen’s death, it was proof of how badly she had been beaten at the time.
What was more critical was that she was now pregnant and in poor health, so she could only recuperate in the hospital.
