Meanwhile, Pei Sheng showed Qi Yan a share transfer contract and asked whether Yan Tingshen could truly have known nothing about it.

• Qin You decided not to show Yan Tingshen the two Cehai Group share transfer contracts yet, hoping to complete the task without increasing Yan Tingshen’s favorability.
