Chapter 406: Chapter 380 Take Your Time
Just after Yi Family had dealt with a building collapse accident, another significant event occurred.
More serious than the previous one.
Following a whistleblower’s report, Yi Family’s financial records had massive discrepancies, including issues of embezzlement and tax evasion. Senior finance managers were implicated in duty-related crimes and were put under investigation by local supervisory authorities, and even the management had to undergo scrutiny.
This storm caused the government to immediately halt cooperation with Yi Family, entrusting the remaining fifty percent of the contract to the business that ranked second in the initial tender competition.
As the company’s chairman, Yi Zheng faced a more complex investigation and was utterly unable to extricate himself to address the situation.
He had no choice but to entrust Yi Feng.
"This matter is of utmost importance to the corporation; we must find a way to contact government officials. We cannot afford to withdraw from the new business district project."
Yi Feng had only recently gotten involved in this significant government project and had not yet been involved in the actual management of the corporation; therefore, the investigation was not as severe and thorough as the one involving Yi Zheng.
It was a bit pitiful; after all the incidents within the corporation, Yi Zheng found that several individuals he considered confidants were not trustworthy at all.
Now he couldn’t trust anyone except for Yi Feng and Xiao Su.
As for government matters, only Yi Feng was currently qualified to negotiate.
Yi Zheng’s expression was dark; although Yi Feng was young and lacked experience in handling such significant issues, he was all Yi Zheng could hope for.
"Someone is definitely behind instigating this turmoil within the corporation, and Fu Family cannot shirk its involvement. Yi Feng, you are a member of Yi Family, and it’s time for you to step up."
Yi Zheng’s words carried a deeper significance.
Xiao Su understood, and so did Yi Feng.
Yi Feng didn’t respond and left immediately; Yi Zheng quickly gestured for his assistant to follow him.
...
Even Ji Sang, who usually paid little attention to business affairs, had heard about the recent turbulence within Yi Family.
Even dark circles had formed under Fu Yisi’s eyes.
Quite prominent.
For the past two days, Ji Sang had been running back and forth between Su Ge and the sanitarium; Fu Yisi did not inform him about the progression of events regarding Yi Family, leaving him unclear about what exactly had been keeping him busy.
Now all Ji Sang felt was sympathy.
"Take it slow, don’t wear yourself out."
But Fu Yisi simply pulled Ji Sang into his arms and whispered softly.
"It’s okay, I’m fine. I’ll bring your aunt home as soon as I wrap things up."
The night after Ji Sang had candidly explained everything to Ah Xing, the couple returned to the Fu Family’s old house to share the news with Fu Jue and Ye Lin.
Ye Lin immediately burst into tears, and even Fu Jue, despite his best efforts to hold back, had red-rimmed eyes.
Ji Sang took out the photo he had of Fu Zhixing.
Truth be told, Zhixing’s appearance had indeed changed, but upon seeing the photo, Fu Jue and Ye Lin were almost certain that it was Fu Zhixing.
Perhaps it was the strange connection and atmosphere that exists between family members.
Ji Sang recounted every word of his conversation with Fu Zhixing, not leaving anything out.
Fu Jue and Ye Lin sat upright, listening attentively; Fu Yisi appeared indifferent but listened intently to every word Ji Sang said.
Ye Lin almost cried uncontrollably the moment Zhixing acknowledged Ji Sang as his aunt, collapsing into Fu Jue’s embrace.
Ji Sang paused, looking towards Fu Yisi who had yet to make a sound.
The man’s eyes were downcast, showing no discernible emotion.
But his neck was red.
It would only redden like that when he was emotionally stirred.
Fu Yisi...
He was holding back.
