“What did you find?”
Lin Zhiyu’s expression suddenly darkened.
Jiang Weihua bit his tongue as he spoke: “This series of car accidents was not an accident.”
“It wasn’t an accident?!”
Lin Zhiyu was a little surprised.
He didn’t know whether the car accident was man-made or accidental, after all, he had been kidnapped in his previous life.
But when he learned that it was not an accident, Lin Zhiyu felt even more heavy-hearted.
“Can I ask… who is behind this?”
“I can only say… Currently, I have only found out that someone is targeting our Jiang family.” Jiang Weihua’s face was gloomy, and his hands on the wheelchair were clenched into fists.
“You know that people like my father have offended a lot of gangs over the years, and have also offended many corrupt officials and businessmen who have colluded with each other. Many want my father and my family to die.”
I know……!
Lin Zhiyu suddenly thought of something.
He remembered that in the original book, in the end, the Ruan Group not only dominated the United States and Europe but also spread to China. The companies under the Ruan Group gradually occupied all walks of life in the Chinese market. Not only did he eventually become the world’s richest man, but he also widened the gap with second place.
And he remembered that when Ruan Jiaojiao got married, there was a quick mention that the Ruan family had a very good relationship with several Chinese officials, especially two or three of them. The Ruan family even gave them seats at the main table of the wedding banquet. One of them seemed to be… Meng Weicheng, the top official in Beijing?
But now, Meng Weicheng is not the top leader nor the second-in-command in the capital.
When did he get promoted?
There are a few other people. I can’t say that they are 100% problematic, but they have very close ties with the Ruan family, so there is a high possibility that they are colluding…
He had previously overlooked this aspect and only focused on the Ruan Group’s methods in the capital market.
“Do you know a man named Meng Weicheng?”
Lin Zhiyu was silent for a moment and finally said.
He did not name the people he suspected. After all, he had no evidence and he did not want to alert the enemy. Although the Jiang family was worthy of cooperation now, revealing all his cards was not the best strategy and it might not be a good thing for the Jiang family.
“Meng Weicheng?”
Jiang Weihua frowned and thought for two or three seconds before saying, “It seems that he is the current second-in-command of H Province.”
“Is he a problem?”
“I don’t know.” Lin Zhiyu said very vaguely, “I just heard about him from people who didn’t want me to live.”
“Who are the people who don’t want you to live?” Jiang Weihua looked at Lin Zhiyu, “Are they the people you mentioned before?”
Lin Zhiyu’s eyes were unfathomable. He raised his eyebrows slightly, making it difficult for Jiang Weihua to see clearly.
“Mr. Jiang, I will not hide anything that I shouldn’t. I… and our entire Lin family’s hope of overturning the verdict lies with Deputy Secretary Jiang.”
Jiang Weihua was silent for a moment and finally smiled.
“I understand.”
“I believe you, but if there is something else going on, I hope you can tell me as soon as possible. After all, you are my daughter’s savior, and I will definitely help you. Besides, I am not just helping you.”
Jiang Weihua paused.
“I’ve visited your father and sister in prison.”
“How are they?!”
“I can only say that their current condition is much better than before I went there.” Jiang Weihua said very conservatively. He was afraid that Lin Zhiyu, who was now seriously injured, would not be able to recover after hearing the specific situation.
But how would he know?
Lin Zhiyu knew more than him and was more aware of it…
Ever since his father and his sister, who held an important position in the company with his father, were thrown into prison for slander, they have been tortured day and night.
Although it wasn’t as severe as what he experienced… they were still beaten and insulted day and night until they were finally tortured to death… and the Ruan family claimed to be magnanimous enough to leave their bodies intact!
There were uncontrollable tears in Lin Zhiyu’s eyes, but in the end, he just took a breath and suppressed them.
“Thanks.”
“Really…thank you.”
…
“Thank you all!” “Thank you all, especially for coming to this banquet.”
At the same time, a world-renowned banquet was being held in the Ruan Family Manor, also known as the Kalenat Manor, which is considered to be the most magnificent and vast in the world.
This vast manor, located in State S of Country M, covers nearly a hundred acres of land and has a forest park next to the manor. It is bustling with people and is filled with dignitaries.
Ruan Jiaojiao wore a high-end dress worth tens of millions of US dollars and stood on a high podium decorated with diamond bouquets.
The dazzling light dyed her hair, setting off her every frown, smile, and gesture, making her look as beautiful as a jade, like the daughter of God.
She shed tears: “In this short month, I finally know what home is. I have lived for 18 years and finally have someone who truly loves me. Thank you all for accepting the invitation to play. I want to tell the world – I have a home now. My family will protect me and I will never be bullied or hurt again.”
In the audience, the Ruan family was so moved that they were almost in tears. Others were also filled with emotion. Such an excellent and perfect girl must have suffered so much in the past. Everyone was full of admiration and love for Ruan Jiaojiao.
Including the audience in front of the TV, they were all so excited as if they were the spokesperson.
The internet in more than thirty countries around the world has been dominated by hot searches related to Ruan Jiaojiao!
Especially in a big country like China, even the old TVs in the shabby and dirty little restaurants in the corners of the shantytowns were broadcasting this news.
“Oh my god, how come the Ruan family is so rich?”
The migrant worker, who rarely had fried noodles with egg and meat, looked at the luxurious scene beyond his imagination on the screen in a daze. The peanuts in his chopsticks fell onto the greasy and black table, and he quickly picked them up and stuffed them into his mouth.
“The Ruan family has long been ranked in the top three on the Forbes list of the world’s richest people. They are very rich, with $200 billion in assets! The equivalent of more than 1 trillion yuan, which is much richer than even Jack Ma!” A young man covered in mud couldn’t help but interrupt.
“Even the richest man in China is not good enough in his eyes.” Another young girl followed.
She held a sesame seed bun filled with shredded potatoes and stared at the screen with starry eyes. “I wish I was also the lost daughter of a rich man. I really envy Ruan Jiaojiao!”
“I heard that Ruan Jiaojiao was also very outstanding before she was found. She was abused in China before, but she is still very outstanding and versatile, and she is also very good at studying!”
An old lady followed suit and sighed.
“Ah, it’s not easy. She was so pitiful before but she can still be so outstanding. This girl is great…”
Several people were chatting in the room when the dirty curtain was suddenly lifted by someone from outside.
The short and plump proprietress, wearing a flowered skirt, came in holding a plate filled with a mixture of shredded pork stewed with vermicelli and fried shredded potatoes.
“These young people are so wasteful. They ordered four dishes and left two. Xiaohuaer, you can take the leftovers home. They barely touched any of them.”
Zhao Hua, who had been serving dishes, bringing water, washing dishes, and wiping tables in the small restaurant with his head down, finally raised his head.
There was extreme numbness in her eyes, and her face was so pale and thin that her head looked particularly big, but she still thanked him gratefully.
“Thank you, Auntie.”
“What are you thanking me for? This is nothing!”
“I know that Auntie is good to me.” Zhao Hua lowered his head and continued to work, “I’ll bring some back for my mother to eat. My mother likes the vermicelli stewed by Auntie.”
“Hey, don’t just give it to your mother, and you can eat it too.”
The proprietress sighed. What a poor child. She has no father and his mother is crazy. She’s pitifully thin at such a young age. It seems that she has never had enough to eat.
“Okay, stop working and put the dishes away first.” The proprietress said in a loud voice.
Zhao Hua paused for a moment, then numbly and obediently put down the bowl.
The elegant sound of violin sounded from TV, and Ruan Jiaojiao was dancing with a smile on her face.
Zhao Hua paused, then followed the music and poured the mixed leftovers into the stainless-steel lunch box.
