Chapter 42: Chen Sen's Interrogation

  Chen Sen checked into the Ying Huang Hotel and spent the entire afternoon watching the surveillance footage. On the screen, Chen Sen saw a figure that caught his attention - it was Qiao Anna. He continued to follow her on the screen and surprisingly saw her lurking around Ruan Jincheng's office door before entering his office.

  Having seen this, Chen Sen seemed to have understood something, picked up the phone and dialed Yan Lingfeng.

  "Hey, Ling Feng."

  "Forest" Rang Ling Feng shouted.

  "You knew it all along, didn't you?" Chen Sen recalled what Ruan Lingfeng had told him: "Go help me check the surveillance and my dad's office." Only then did he understand the real reason Ruan Lingfeng had asked him to come.

  "It's just uncertain," said Ruan Lingfeng.

  "What do you plan to do?"

  Ran Lingfeng said: "I don't want to get involved in this matter."

  Ran Lingfeng knew that Chen Sen liked Qiao Anna, so he let Chen Sen go to the UK from afar. In order not to hurt each other's feelings, Ran Lingfeng had to let Chen Sen handle it. Chen Sen also knew that Ran Lingfeng didn't want to see Qiao Anna again, and Ran Lingfeng did this for Qiao Anna, in order not to let Qiao Anna make another mistake, so he let him come to the UK, with the purpose of letting Chen Sen advise Qiao Anna. It's just that Chen Sen doesn't understand when Ran Lingfeng knew about this matter and how he knew it.

  Chen Sen hung up the phone and then called Joanne to ask where she was. Then, he drove to Joanne's residence.

  Joanna had a complex and contradictory heart towards Chen Sen, because Joanna always believed that her heart loved Ran Lingfeng, but facing Chen Sen's meticulous care, Joanna's heart became more dependent on Chen Sen.

  Chen Sen arrived at Joanna's home, sat on the sofa, and Joanna made a cup of coffee for Chen Sen in the kitchen. She placed it in front of him, and Chen Sen kept stirring the coffee because he didn't want to hurt Joanna, so he didn't know how to start talking to her.

  Joanna looked at Chen Sen who was silent and said: "Sen, how long are you planning to stay in London?"

  Chen Sen put down his coffee and said, "It's still uncertain."

  Joanna saw that Chen Sen was preoccupied with worries and her heart felt a little apprehensive, saying: "I heard that Ling Feng is ill, how is he now?"

  "It's much better now," Chen Sen said calmly.

  Joanna smiled wryly and said, "Is that so? Well, good."

  "Is everything going smoothly at the company?" Chen Sen didn't know why he asked that, knowing full well Joanna's purpose for coming to Ying Huang, yet pretending not to know, and asking painfully.

  "It's okay, first time working, wasn't very used to it at the beginning, but later realized that work isn't as dull as I imagined." Joanna kept fidgeting with her fingers.

  Chen Sen didn't look at Joanna, silently sitting on the sofa, not showing his usual care and concern for Joanna, which made Joanna feel even more uneasy.

  "Are you just coming to the company simply because you want to work?"

  Chen Sen's words made Joanne stunned for a moment, and she said: "Of course I came to the company to work, otherwise what do you think I'm here for?"

  Chen Sen asked again: "Is it really like this?"

  Joanna's heart began to beat faster, she started to fear that Chen Sen would know everything she had done. When she saw Ruan Jichen being taken away by the people from the Supervision Institute, Joanna knew how serious this matter was. She started to fear going to jail, and also feared losing her reputation, even more so, she feared losing the people around her.

  Joanna didn't respond, sitting on the sofa and fiddling with her fingers. Chen Sen really wanted to give Joanna a chance, a chance to reform herself, but Joanna didn't realize her own mistakes, which made Chen Sen feel very disappointed. Chen Sen said: "Anna, why? Why do you have to do this? Is it really for Ling Feng?"

  Joanna said: "Yes, for Lingfeng, I dare to do anything. I have already warned Jiang Xueer, it's her who didn't listen to my advice."

  "Could it be that even Ling Feng, the one you love the most, you also have the heart to hurt?"

  "What I can't get, others also want."

  "So you would stop at nothing to get into the company, leak the company's plans, and even design Jiang Xue'er to fall into the sea?" Chen Sen asked.

  Joanna replied: "Yes."

  Chen Sen heard this and finally erupted in anger, roaring: "Do you know that doing things this way is against the law? This will only ruin your life! Do you know?" Chen Sen did not expect Qiao Anna's attitude of not giving up everything and swearing to fight on, which made Chen Sen even more heartbroken.

  "I don't care, as long as I can do it, I'll do whatever it takes." Joanna cried out.

  "Anna, you're beyond help." Chen Sen took his suit and was about to leave when Joanne suddenly found it hard to breathe and fainted.

  "Anna, Anna..." Chen Sen kept calling Joanne without a response. He laid Joanne flat on the ground, pinched her middle finger with his fingers, and massaged her joints in her hands and feet. When Joanne slowly came to, he carried her into the room to rest.

  In the evening, Tang Huaxin and Chen Sen went to a bar for drinks. Chen Sen was in a bad mood, sitting alone drinking silently, not even talking to Tang Huaxin.

  Tang Huaxin saw Chen Sen's sad expression and knew that something was wrong. He smiled and said, "Sen, what's wrong with you? We rarely go out for a drink together, are you thinking of drinking alone?"

  Chen Sen was in a terrible mood, he just wanted to use alcohol to numb himself, so that he could forget the pain and forget himself.
