Chu Weiye put out the cigarette in his hand and tugged at his collar impatiently. "I want to know everything as soon as possible."
He stood up, straightened his back, and walked toward the big desk. "Also, have you invited the British neurologist I asked you to invite?"
"… President Chu, Dr. Smith's schedule is too full. I can't get in touch with him."
"Do you want me to teach you how to invite a doctor?" Chu Weiye stopped in his tracks when he heard this. His gaze instantly became sharper. "It's just a neurologist. You can't even invite him?"
The assistant quickly apologized. "… I'm sorry, President Chu. I'll invite him over as soon as possible."
"Get out."
…
The assistant left the office in a hurry. Chu Weiye frowned and lit himself another cigarette. Then, he removed the scarf around his neck and turned around. His tall body leaned directly against his desk. His two long legs were casually crossed as he narrowed his eyes and smoked.
The white smoke lingered around him and covered most of the expression on his face. Suddenly, the corners of his lips curled up. The curve of his smile was a little self-deprecating.
When did he become so noble?
He wanted a woman so badly, but now he was hiding behind the scenes and doing some "behind-the-scenes work"? He didn't even think about taking credit for it?
Why did he ask his most trusted and capable assistant to inquire about that woman all day long? He was really … f * cking useless! …
"… Mr. Liang, this is all the information I've found so far." Guan Chao looked carefully at Liang Feifan, who was sitting opposite him. His handsome face seemed to be expressionless, but the tension at the corners of his eyes completely revealed his emotions.
Thinking back to when he first saw the information, he was also extremely shocked. He even hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should tell Mr. Liang everything at this time.
However, he didn't dare to hide it. Although this was shocking, it was too important. He had always believed in Liang Feifan's courage. There were some things that he naturally couldn't hide from him.
"… Mr Liang, all of this is absolutely true. I know that there was a designer who went abroad. I sent a lot of people to investigate. All these years, he had been hiding in New Zealand. Actually, it could not be considered hiding. Back then, Ye Zijie had given him a large sum of money to let him go. Back then, the resort that the Liang Clan and the Ye Clan had collaborated on was actually a trap from beginning to end. At first, Ye Zijie wanted to take advantage of that opportunity to swallow the entire Liang Clan. However, he was unlucky. There were two designers, but one of them refused to listen to him and demanded the design. After this matter blew up, he thought that this matter was no longer within his control. He was afraid that he would lose control and let your father know. So, he made a prompt decision and chose to drive a wedge between them. "
…
Guan Chao paused. His lips moved. He wanted to say something, but Liang Feifan, who had been looking at the information in his hand, suddenly threw the folder on the coffee table.
He immediately fell silent. Liang Feifan stretched out his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows. After a while, he spoke in a deep voice with a hint of disbelief. "… The person who died was Bai Yi?"
"… Yes."
It was indeed Bai Yi.
No one would have thought that one of the designers responsible for the design of the resort that the Liang Clan and the Ye Clan had collaborated on was Bai Yi!
Bai Lu's father, Mr. Liang.
In fact, Ye Zijie had concealed this matter very well. However, he really didn't know that the person who died back then was Bai Yi, Bai Lu's father. This was because Bai Yi had changed her name when she was in the design industry back then. When this matter was dug up, Bai Yi's family background was naturally dug up as well.
Bai Yi had met Li Tanglin in university. Li Tanglin was beautiful and many people pursued her back then. However, she had fallen in love with the talented poor boy, Bai Yi. In fact, many people didn't think highly of their relationship back then. Some people were jealous, while others were realistic.
A rich young lady fell in love with a poor boy. Since ancient times, there seemed to be many stories like this.
However, there weren't many successful ones.
Li Tanglin liked Bai Yi very much. However, the Li Family strongly opposed it. Li Tanglin's father was the one who disagreed the most. He tried to break up the couple many times. However, Li Tanglin didn't agree. In the end, she even threatened to kill herself. Father Li couldn't do anything about it. Since his daughter couldn't persuade him, he went to look for Bai Yi and asked him to leave Li Tanglin.
Bai Yun had a stomach full of talent, but she couldn't find a space for her to display it well. Even 20 years ago, this society always had people who relied on power and status to get up, and people who had nothing, always had to rely on the foundation to climb up.
Liang Feifan flipped through a page of information. The last page was all about Bai Yi. There was even a photo of him when he was young. He had handsome features and had a scholarly aura. Liang Feifan thought of Bai Lu. He had inherited some of Bai Yi's looks.
He knew his grandfather very well. When he was young, he knew that his grandfather was more of a philistine than his grandfather, and he placed great importance on matching families. So, it wasn't hard to guess what his grandfather said to Bai Yi 20 years ago. Bai Yi's daughter was proud and unwilling to admit defeat. Bai Yi himself was even more so. Therefore, Li Tanglin's father's efforts weren't in vain. He succeeded in being the bad guy.
Bai Yi left Li Tanglin just like that. However, the Li Family's influence in A City was still quite big. When Bai Yi entered the architectural design industry, she probably didn't want to have anything to do with the Li Family anymore. Therefore, she changed her name.
Liang Feifan took out a cigarette. He rubbed it between his fingers for a while before putting it in his mouth and lighting it up. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the two words in the middle of the information — Ying Shan. He didn't know what it meant, but he wasn't interested in looking into it.
"… After that, he coincidentally took on the project of the resort that the Liang Clan and the Ye Clan collaborated on. Actually, the person who worked with him had a good relationship with Bai Yi. However, because of money and benefits, he was bought over by Ye Zijie in the end. Ye Zijie had been planning to take over the Liang Clan since 20 years ago. He was the one who planned the resort project behind the scenes. He was a meticulous person. After he understood the personalities of the two designers, he started with one of them. He wanted that person to persuade the other designer, which was Bai Yi. However, no one would have thought that Bai Yi was unwilling to do such a thing. He had a kind of arrogance in his bones, and he wholeheartedly devoted himself to designing. To him, every project was his soul. After the two designers had a conflict, Ye Zijie felt that he could take advantage of the situation. While he was perfunctory with Mr. Liang's father, he arranged for the designer he bought to go abroad … "
Guan Chao explained in detail. The room was filled with the faint smell of smoke. Liang Feifan lit a new cigarette between his fingers. His deep eyes narrowed slightly. He flipped to the last page of the document in his hand and threw it on the coffee table. He reached out his hand to massage his temples and said in a deep voice, "What happened after that could be considered as God's help to that old fox, Ye Zijie. He originally thought that since Bai Yi didn't take the easy way out, he might as well let him take the blame. Who knew that Bai Yi would rather die than submit, which led to what happened after."
Guan Chao nodded. "Yes. At that time, Mr. Liang's father … was probably really frightened, so he didn't immediately call the police. After all, the resort suffered a huge loss at that time. He didn't want to make a big deal out of it. It must have been a heavy blow to the Liang Clan. Ye Zijie knew this. After that, he took advantage of the situation and contacted Chin Jin-hee."
Liang Feifan supported his forehead with one hand and raised the other to smoke heavily.
"But I'm not too sure about the deal between Chin Jin-hee and Ye Zijie. She's still in the ICU, and Ye Zijie doesn't have any leads. I think only the two of them know about this. I only know that when Bai Yi was sent to the hospital, she died. When the funeral was held, the Bai family didn't have any relatives or friends. There was only Chin Jin-hee and a young Miss Bai. "
…
Chin Jin-hee didn't seem like someone who would bend over for money. But what weakness could Ye Zijie have used to make her so obedient? For more than 20 years, her husband died under such mysterious circumstances, but she didn't say a word?
Guan Chao couldn't figure it out. In fact, Liang Feifan had a vague feeling in his heart, but he couldn't pinpoint it.
His deep, handsome face was hidden under the smoke. The cigarette he raised to his ear was already two-thirds burned. Liang Feifan maintained his original position and didn't move. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Guan Chao didn't know whether to stay or leave, so he could only wait.
"… Dr. Smith, is there any news?" Liang Feifan finally spoke after a long while.
Guan Chao was stunned for a moment, then he said apologetically, "… Mr. Liang has been trying to get in touch with Mr. Smith, but I heard that he went to Oxford to attend an academic conference. It might take a week, so we can't get in touch with him at the moment."
Liang Feifan frowned and flicked the ash from his cigarette. "Go to Oxford yourself. Let me know when you see him. I'll personally invite him over. I can't leave now. Go back first and keep an eye on the company. Lock up these documents. Don't let any information leak. "
Guan Chao nodded and quickly left with all the documents.
Liang Feifan skillfully smoked until he finished the pack of cigarettes beside him. Then he got up and left with an unreadable expression.
…
Two days later.
When Bai Lu woke up, she found a middle-aged woman standing beside her helping her pack.
She frowned and got up from the bed. Liang Feifan, who was standing by the window, heard her movements and turned to walk toward her. "You're awake?"
