Chapter 497: Chapter 496: It’s Easy to Suggest Something Psychologically

"President Shen."

The phone connected, and Assistant Chen’s voice came through, the background noise suggesting he was outside.

Shen Yi asked in a deep voice, "What’s the situation?"

"There’s no concrete evidence yet, but Ren Yushi indeed had contact with Ye Shiying," Assistant Chen reported.

"Alright, keep looking."

"Understood. I’ll inform President Shen as soon as there’s any news."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yi remained standing by the window. In truth, investigating who had tried to harm Ye Wanwan now was meaningless.

If He Qingyun could use her own brother, let alone Ye Shiying and Ye Mingrui.

Shen Yi just wanted to confirm whether Ye Shiying had really been reborn.

If he wanted to know whether Ren Yushi was behind it, it was actually quite simple—just call Ren Yushi directly.

However, Shen Yi didn’t want to have any more to do with those people. All the past grudges, no matter the connection to him, he no longer wanted to deal with.

What he needed to do now was to protect Ye Wanwan and Zhouzhou. They were to start their new life. Everything from the past life had nothing to do with them anymore.

There was only one thought in Shen Yi’s heart, let them live or die, just don’t come bothering him!

So he chose to have Assistant Chen secretly investigate. He just wanted an answer for himself.

The next afternoon.

Shen Yi was working in his office. When someone knocked on the door, he said without looking up, "Come in."

Assistant Chen entered from the outside and stood across from Shen Yi, respectfully calling out, "President Shen."

Shen Yi looked up at Assistant Chen, obviously waiting for him to speak.

Assistant Chen reported, "I checked Ye Shiying’s whereabouts before she killed Qin Yanbo and found that she indeed had contact with Ren Yushi during that time."

"But Ye Shiying didn’t seem to know about Ren Yushi’s connection to He Qingyun or what Ren Yushi did for a living. They met a few times by chance, not even enough to call them friends."

"Besides that, there’s nothing else."

"However, I consulted a psychologist, who said that someone like Ye Shiying is very susceptible to psychological suggestions."

"For instance, Ye Shiying firmly believed that Qin Yansen wanted to kill her, but in truth, Qin Yansen only laid hands on her once."

At this point, Assistant Chen quickly added, "I’m not saying that laying hands on someone for the first time doesn’t count or anything!"

Shen Yi looked at Assistant Chen, indicating he understood, and Assistant Chen continued, "But how could Ye Shiying decide to kill him, considering Qin Yansen had only physically hurt her once? That’s murder, and with such a brutal method too!"

"She must have harbored an extraordinarily intense hatred towards Qin Yansen to act like that."

"The same is true for Madam. It must be because of enough hatred that she would risk exposing her identity just to harm Madam."

After Assistant Chen finished speaking, Shen Yi remained silent for a while before finally saying, "I understand. You can go now."

As the days passed, the weather grew hotter, and stepping outside meant feeling the sun’s blistering heat, as if it could melt a person.

Ye Wanwan had been somewhat irritable lately—perhaps because of the scorching weather or maybe because of Zhouzhou.

The sound of a door opening came, and Shen Yi looked up to see Ye Wanwan, freshly showered, stepping out of the bathroom.
