Beichuan City.
Fang Corporation.
“Master, the people from the Leslie family clan are here.” The butler bent down and whispered.
Fang Liang, who was watering the plants, paused and thought for a moment. Then, finally, he looked out of the window meaningfully and said coolly, “Got it.”
The Leslie family clan was a top financial group in the Western world.
Their family businesses were worldwide, and traces of their family could be found in many world-famous businesses.
Although their family history was only two to three hundred years old, their accumulated wealth could be comparable to that of a country.
In the Western world, money was power.
If all financial groups had power, they could even bypass the laws.
As a top financial group, the Leslie family’s power was unimaginable.
…
Beichuan City, on the main road.
There was a top-notch luxury car worth tens of millions was driving at a uniform speed. Behind it was several large off-road vehicles.
Such a convoy was rare in a small city like Beichuan. Nevertheless, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
In the backseat of the luxury car sat a beautiful blonde woman and two men dressed in black trench coats, sunglasses, and black hats.
The beautiful woman held a black cat in her arms and was elegantly tasting some red wine.
The two men were her bodyguards.
They were all quite tall at two and a half meters, but one was rather stout while the other was very lean.
They sat opposite the beautiful woman and were motionless like statues.
The collars of their windbreakers covered most of their faces. They had an aura that would scare people.
Without a doubt, they were experts.
A few minutes later.
The convoy stopped in front of the Fang Corporation building.
The two bodyguards got out of the car.
After getting off, they opened their umbrellas and stood respectfully on both sides of the car door.
In the luxury car, the beautiful woman unhurriedly put on her sunglasses and a felt hat with various gems embedded on it.
She then got out of the car with the black cat in her arms.
At that moment, Fang Liang, who was waiting at the entrance of the building, saw the beautiful woman’s convoy and immediately went over to welcome them.
His physical and mental state was much better than before.
He did not need anyone to support him and could walk quickly on his crutches.
“Lena, my beautiful daughter-in-law, you are finally here.”
Fang Liang was full of smiles as he greeted her in the Western language that wasn’t very polished.
The beautiful woman in front of him was his son, Fang Yuke’s wife.
This was the first time Fang Liang was meeting his daughter-in-law.
He knew very well that this day would come sooner or later.
But even though he was prepared, he was still exceptionally nervous.
This was because the Leslie family clan backed her.
When he found out that his son had a family overseas, Fang Liang was quite happy.
But upon learning that his daughter-in-law was from the Leslie family, his attitude changed instantly.
He didn’t believe that the fate of his family would improve if his son had married the Leslie family’s daughter. Instead, they would fall into a bigger abyss.
The Leslie family was a top financial group. So how would they casually allow their family members to connect with outsiders?
It was impossible.
Fang Liang knew very well that the moment Fang Yuke came into contact with a member of the Leslie family clan, he would have no secrets. They would also investigate his own family thoroughly.
Over the years, he had dealt with the Leslie family, but they were all done on the dark web.
Today was the first time they met offline.
The beautiful woman glanced at Fang Liang coolly and said in the standard Xia Country language, “Hello!”
She did not address Fang Liang as “dad” or “father.”
Fang Liang was stunned for a moment before he laughed dryly. “Hello, hello!”
The beautiful woman continued, “My Xia Country’s language was taught to me by Yuke. So I don’t know if I speak it well.”
Fang Liang praised with a smile, “You speak it very well. You sound much more accurate than me.”
“Thank you!” The beautiful woman chuckled, and then she sighed with emotion.” Unfortunately, Yuke can never teach me again.”
In an instant, the atmosphere around them sank.
Seeing this, Fang Liang immediately smiled and said, “Lena, the sun is bright outside. Let’s go inside.”
“Yes!” Lena nodded.
Thus, Fang Liang led Lena into the building while the two bodyguards followed closely behind.
The rest of the people guarded the various entrances of the building.
…
Chairman’s office.
“Lena, you must be here for Yuke!”
Fang Liang did not beat around the bush.
Lena took out a photo of a woman. “I will investigate Yuke’s death.
“But now let’s talk about another matter.”
Fang Liang knew what Lena was going to say. “Lena, this is my fault too. As a father, I didn’t fulfill my duty. I let him do something that was unfaithful to you and indirectly hurt you.”
Lena said expressionlessly, “He didn’t just hurt me; he also humiliated the entire Leslie clan.
“He betrayed our vows he had made before the godfather when we got married.
“To the Leslie family, his actions are considered a betrayal of the family.
“You should know the consequences of betraying our Leslie clan.
“But seeing that your family still has value, I won’t make a move against you for now.
“This woman is my personal matter. I want to see just what charm she has that Yuke would take such a huge risk to betray me.”
With that said, the beautiful woman took out a dagger and fiercely stabbed the photo to the table.
Fang Liang’s expression darkened. He understood what she wanted to do, but this was not the Western world. If she really did that, the consequences would be dire.
He had wanted to remind her, but when he heard Lena’s decisive tone, he knew it would be of no use.
For the rest of the time, they talked about some other things and then left.
Lena left the woman’s picture on the table and did not take it with her.
Fang Liang frowned and took a few extra glances at it.
The woman in the photo was Ma Qingxue.
Fang Liang had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.
However, after thinking about it calmly, he knew that the Leslie family backed Lena.
Why would something happen to her?
Perhaps he was thinking too much.
…
At the same time, Wang Jiajun, who was cultivating at home, received a call from his former colleague.
The content of the call was about the Leslie family arriving in Beichuan.
When Wang Jiajun heard this, he didn’t look very surprised, but his expression did change slightly.
Previously, when he was handling Fang Yuke’s case, he did a detailed investigation on Fang Yuke’s family.
He was very surprised when he discovered the relationship between the Leslie family and Fang Yuke’s family.
He had heard of a top-notch financial group like the Leslie family before, but he never expected Fang Yuke to be able to hitch onto people of such a level. It was quite surprising. He wouldn’t find it strange if he subsequently made it big.
He had previously mentioned Fang Yuke’s situation to his colleagues at the bureau, but no one expected the Leslie family to take so long to come.
The Beichuan officials were not prepared at all. They are currently very busy.
His colleague also mentioned that she hoped Wang Jiajun could come over to help.
Wang Jiajun wanted to refuse because what the government had done previously had truly disappointed him.
However, these colleagues were comrades who had fought with him for several years or even decades. Out of camaraderie, he still agreed.
After all, he was worried that his colleagues would be in danger because of the Leslie family.
