CHAPTER 291: CHAPTER 291: THE REASON FOR WANDERING

However, they did not know that at this very moment, Bai Long had someone send an important document to the study in Li Garden.

"Mr. Li, this has just been received."

"Put it down."

The bodyguard respectfully placed the folder on the table before quickly departing.

Li Zishen slowly opened the folder.

Inside was an investment contract from overseas. The main content was the promise to provide substantial financial support to Li Wanshan over the next five years to help him expand into the overseas market.

This contract would undoubtedly bring great benefits to Li Wanshan.

If he really had this financial backing, he could indeed stir up quite a storm within the Yishen Group.

Who would help like this for no reason?

Li Zishen suspected there was a problem, very likely related to some manipulator behind the scenes.

Suddenly, at this moment, someone knocked on the study door.

After receiving permission, Chen Xin quickly entered the study and said very seriously, "Brother Shen, the new funds Li Wanshan invested in three overseas companies are all fake, and the person in charge has run away."

Li Zishen’s expression changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Shell companies?"

"Rough estimates suggest Li Wanshan might have put in all his assets, and I heard that... Second Aunt Lai has also borrowed a lot of money from her relatives," Chen Xin added.

Li Zishen was so furious that he punched the table.

He just wanted to buy out Li Wanshan’s current companies at a fair price to vent his mother’s anger but never considered crushing him completely!

"So, are you saying they have lost everything?" Li Zishen frowned.

"Yes, Li Wanshan might still be unaware of the actual situation, and this is news we just received," Chen Xin nodded, his tone somber.

"Does anyone else know?"

Chen Xin shook his head. "No, I’ve had all information locked down."

"What should be done with?" Li Zishen thought for a moment and instructed, "Go and investigate the masterminds behind these three companies immediately. Also, I need detailed information about Second Aunt Lai’s relatives."

"Okay, I’m on it," Chen Xin nodded in agreement and then turned to leave the study.

Li Zishen continued to sit at his desk, going through the contract in his hands.

His brows were tightly knitted, carrying a heavy mood.

The situation seemed simple, yet it was fraught with hidden complexities.

Someone behind the scenes was using the greed of Li Wanshan and Second Aunt Lai to set a trap, intending to drag them down and then exploit their avarice to cause chaos within the Yishen Group.

And all this was very likely aimed at achieving one goal — to destroy the Yishen Group.

Although Li Wanshan was not a good man, he was still part of the Leng Family, and Li Zishen could not stand by and watch them being exploited by others.

"Do you think our Leng Family is that easy to fool?" Li Zishen murmured to himself.

At the same time, he received a message.

[Brother Shen, I just got news that Yuan Feng once worked in the Reproductive Medicine Department of a hospital in Jin City. He resigned later for some reason. Should we verify this further?]

Li Zishen immediately made a phone call.

"Brother Shen, maybe we could..."

"My uncle?" Li Zishen frowned, "In our Leng Family, a private hospital?"

"The details are unclear. I learned it from Su Luoyi’s mother. She said she only heard her husband Song Dapeng mention it once in passing. He said there were many people wanting children at the time, appointments filled every day, so your uncle received a high salary. Song Dapeng was very envious, and that’s why he went to Jin City to drive a cab."

"That’s enough. Arrange for her to go to country Y to see Su Luoyi, there’s no need to make things difficult for them, just keep an eye on them."

"Yes, Brother Shen, I understand."

Li Zishen let out a light sigh after hanging up the phone, squeezing the bridge of his nose involuntarily.

He had a very bad premonition, suspecting that his uncle, Yuan Feng, and Yi Xiaodan’s case had some intricate connection.

Perhaps it was for this reason that he had wandered everywhere these past years, not daring to come to Jin City.

...

Chunlei Street, Number 66.

From the master bedroom on the third floor came the sound of Tang Xiaowan’s coaxing voice.

"Grandma, Grandma!"

"The world’s best grandma."

She held the phone in her left hand and rocked Tang Mei’s arm with her right, giggling one moment and then frowning and pouting the next.

"Come on, Grandma, look how beautiful the sea is, we can barbecue and surf... It’ll be so much fun! Tomorrow is the last day of vacation, what a great opportunity, please come with me."

Tang Mei shook her head with a smile, a touch of affection in her eyes.

"Didn’t Leng Lingxiao say... that it’s all been arranged? Just some formalities and you can be home-schooled, as long as you don’t fail any exams."

"But we can’t just run off willy-nilly, there’s a plan, I still need to train, work, and... Well, there’s so much to do, so come, will you keep me company, please?"

"No, I really can’t tomorrow."

"Why not?" Tang Xiaowan asked, a touch of disappointment in her voice.

"I still have some things to sort out, but in a few days, once I’m done, I’ll take you, okay?"

Tang Mei, seeing Tang Xiaowan’s disappointed expression, suddenly felt an immense guilt.

She knew that Tang Xiaowan had always liked places by the sea like Chicheng, but for various reasons, plans had always been put off.

"Please, Grandma, let’s go. I was thinking of inviting Grandpa too. Oh, that’s Wang Jinhui, I’ve asked him already, and he’s willing to be my grandpa, so I can have one too, just like everyone else."

Before Tang Xiaowan finished speaking, Tang Mei’s eyes were already moist.

The word "grandpa" struck like a sharp blade.

"Tangtang, you... okay okay okay, let’s go, give me your phone, I’ll call him and see if he’s available."

So Tang Mei took Tang Xiaowan’s phone and dialed Wang Jinhui’s number.

"Tangtang wants to go to Chicheng to see the sea, and you..."

"I’ve got plenty of time, no problem, ready to leave whenever."

Tang Mei: "..."

It looked like he was already in the loop!

Tang Mei raised an eyebrow: "See you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Xiaowan’s eyes lit up and she immediately started jumping with joy.

"Wow, that’s great! I knew Grandma loved me the most and wouldn’t say no!" Tang Xiaowan hugged Tang Mei tightly, overwhelmed with excitement.

Tang Mei smiled and patted Tang Xiaowan’s back.

"Alright, it’s getting late, off to bed with you, we need to get up early tomorrow."

"No worries, we agreed on eight o’clock."

Tang Mei raised an eyebrow: "Eight o’clock?"

"Yeah, Huahua said you can’t be too early, because Wang Jinhui still has to... It’s getting late, wow, I’m so sleepy, good night, Grandma, bye bye, I need to..."

"Wang Jinhui?"

"Oh, it’s nothing, nothing, good night, Grandma."

Realizing she had slipped up, Tang Xiaowan gave a sheepish smile, then ran off like a shot.
