The man was not surprised by the news of Bai Youchen’s escape.
"No rush, I have time." Information related to Lu Wanwan appeared again on the computer screen.
"Sir, could there be any connection between Gu Annan and this person? Could he have been sent by Gu Annan to assassinate you?"
"Using his wife to help a hitman escape?" he scoffed derisively.
"But, Miss Lu is Ye Tian’s granddaughter, and Gu Annan marrying her might be disadvantageous for you, sir."
The man apparently had no intention of making idle chat and just grunted affirmatively, ending the conversation.
"Could it really exist?" Xu Yuan was waiting outside with Lu Wanwan, "It seems like your dad is shamelessly persistent, but still won’t give it."
Lu Wanwan shook her head, "I don’t know, my mom used to handle some affairs through Lawyer Zhou. But after my dad took over Jin’an, he terminated the contract with Lawyer Zhou. I just came to try my luck."
"Your dad is strange; he wouldn’t be worried about you trying to take over Jin’an and drive him out, would he? It used to be Lin Yu against you, and now? To say nothing of Lin Yu dying in the hospital a few days ago, even if he didn’t die, wearing such a big green hat would have caused a fallout. He still hasn’t sincerely apologized to you."
"There are probably other reasons as to why he never saw me as his daughter," Lu Wanwan stated calmly.
"Miss Lu, you may go in now."
Xu Yuan yawned, gesturing with her hand, "You go ahead."
Lu Wanwan entered Lawyer Zhou’s office, where Lawyer Zhou personally poured her a cup of hot water and smiled, "Miss Lu, it’s been many years since we last met."
She politely accepted the tea cup, "Lawyer Zhou still remembers me."
"Of course, Madam Ye’s daughter," Lawyer Zhou took his seat with a bit of emotion, "Just like that, years have passed."
"It seems that terminating the contract with Jin’an hasn’t affected you too much."
Lawyer Zhou laughed dryly, "Well, haha... you see, I’m managing my own law firm now, so I’m getting by. Miss Lu, what brings you to me this time?"
"Lawyer Zhou, I won’t beat around the bush. Actually, I wanted to ask, did my mother really not leave a will?"
This question had always puzzled Lu Wanwan, considering her mother’s status, there should have been some arrangements.
Lawyer Zhou was stunned for a moment, "Regarding that matter... Madam Ye was young at the time and it was a sudden illness; the will was already being drafted, but unexpectedly before it was finalized... Oh, no one anticipated it, and afterwards, your father, as the primary heir, inherited her estate. It’s a pity that Miss Lu was still a minor then, but now, you should have received your trust fund, right?"
"No," she sighed bitterly, "But my father said it is being processed. But what I want isn’t just that. Lawyer Zhou, I want to ask a question—Jin’an is a Ye family asset, so if there are other members of the Ye family still around, would they also have a right to inherit Jin’an?"
"Of course," Lawyer Zhou looked a bit perplexed but quickly added, "Of course, it depends on who it is. You don’t need to worry, Miss Lu; you are Mr. Lu’s daughter. What Mr. Lu has now, will eventually be yours. Just get the trust fund, and don’t worry about the rest."
Lawyer Zhou then diverted his conversation, brushing her off with unrelated matters.
Originally his vulnerability was exploited by Lu Jingtian, and the nearly finalized will was destroyed.
He then took a sum of money and left Jin’an, starting his own prosperous law firm.
