However, when everyone was immersed in their anger toward Xuanjin Yu Jade, An Yiqing and Liao Jinglin, who were at the center of the storm, were leisurely enjoying tea in the general manager’s office.
"Tsk, tsk, I say, miss, if Wang Jianwen from the Fulin Group saw how comfortable we two are right now, wouldn’t he spit out a mouthful of old blood in anger?" Liao Jinglin held his tea cup, took a deep breath, and shook his head in intoxicated bliss.
"Mm, not just that fat-headed Wang Jianwen, but also Fengshang Group," An Yiqing said with a light smile and a profound look.
"Miss, how do you know that Fengshang Group is also involved? They’ve always stayed out of Xuanjin Yu Jade’s business, and I barely exchanged a few words with the chairman of Fengshang Group. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be the case..." Liao Jinglin stroked his chin, trying hard to remember when he might have offended Fengshang Group.
Watching Liao Jinglin frown and ponder deeply, An Yiqing smiled and said, "Don’t guess anymore. It’s true that Fengshang Group has nothing against Xuanjin Yu Jade, but, Jinglin, you should have heard this saying, ’the tree that stands out in the forest is the first to be brought down by the wind.’ In just a few months, Xuanjin Yu Jade has become the most promising dark horse in all of Northern Xuanjin. Not every group can tolerate such speed and success."
Liao Jinglin nodded thoughtfully. He was also aware of the principle that prominence attracts adversarial attention, but he hadn’t expected Fengshang Group, which had always been silent and neutral, to get involved this time.
"Miss, do you think Wang Jianwen might have collaborated with Fengshang Group?"
"Collaborate? That’s unlikely. Based on Fengshang Group’s past behavior, they just want to get a piece of the action in the chaos, but as for Wang Jianwen..."
An Yiqing’s eyes narrowed slightly. She had been investigating Wang Jianwen for several days, but so far, she hadn’t found any problems with him. Moreover, Wang Jianwen’s daily routine was quite regular; he’d go home straight after work, the epitome of a good man.
However, the absence of problems was the biggest problem.
An Yiqing would never believe that Wang Jianwen was a mature, stable, and family-oriented good man. As the saying goes, the heart reflects the face, and just from their one interaction at the auction, An Yiqing could tell that there was something off in Wang Jianwen’s gaze.
Such a man must have a problem.
Moreover, where exactly did his 2.5 billion windfall come from?
In recent days, An Zhiyu had hacked into Wang Jianwen’s banking system. The transfers and transactions were all listed clearly with no significant issues. However, among Wang Jianwen’s numerous banking records, there were several inconspicuous monthly transactions sent to an account in Country Jing.
Upon verification, the owner of this account was just an average businessman.
Therefore, the whole matter became even stranger. Wang Jianwen’s Fulin Group, although quite well-known in Xuanjin, had not yet developed business relations or collaborations with foreign groups, and, after verification, there were indeed no overseas projects in Fulin Group’s business dealings. So, who were these monthly transfers for?
All this continuously reminded An Yiqing that there was indeed something wrong with Wang Jianwen and the Fulin Group.
"Miss, it’s the third day now. What are your plans?" Liao Jinglin flipped through online commentaries, speaking with an indifferent expression.
"Hmm, pass down the orders. Starting from today, Xuanjin Yu Jade will temporarily cease operations, and we won’t sell a single piece of jade," An Yiqing said indifferently, "Also, hand over the inventory and detailed lists that have been compiled below, not missing a single one of them, to the media—remember, to the most well-known media with the most impact. Since Wang Jianwen wants to frame us for selling fakes, we’ll make our company’s processes completely transparent. If we stand upright, we do not fear a crooked shadow; we are not afraid."
