Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Huo Ning had not completely recovered. In order not to let anyone else take advantage of her, Old Master Huo did not intend to let anyone know that Huo Ning had woken up, lest she be harmed again before she could protect herself.
However, he still had to investigate clearly. At the same time, he could publicize the mining rights.
That night, Old Huo held a meeting in the front hall. He called over the representatives of several families other than the Sui Family and signed the contract for the ownership of the mine rights this year.
By the time the Sui family knew, it was already too late.
Sui Ze was so angry that he swept all the neatly packed documents on the desk to the ground. He scolded angrily, “Bastard, their entire family has joined forces to deceive our trust! I didn’t expect them to collude with the Shi family behind our backs!”
Sui Yan was also shocked when she heard this news.
The mine rights had nothing to do with the Shi family, but the portion of the mine rights that should have belonged to the Sui family had now entered the Shi family’s pocket. She really could not guess the reason.
Thinking of Jiang Yu’s attitude during the day, Sui Yan’s heart tightened. “Dad, we don’t know if the Jiang family and the Shi family are secretly working together, but it’s very clear now that if Jiang Yu hadn’t suddenly returned, the mining rights would have been a shoo-in.”
Hearing this, even Sui Ze couldn’t help but frown. “You mean you want to deal with Jiang Yu?”
He knew a little about his daughter’s thoughts, so he was a little surprised to hear what she was implying.
He did not expect his daughter to be such a ruthless person. However, he had to admit that he was feeling more satisfied with Sui Yan.
“You’re right. Then do you plan to join forces with Jiang Han?” Sui Ze asked with a dark expression.
Sui Yan nodded without hesitation. “The enemy of an enemy is a friend, but Jiang Han is not much better than Jiang Yu. I will be careful and not be close to him.”
Sui Ze smiled in satisfaction. “That’s right. I’m relieved to leave this matter to you. You’re indeed much stronger than your brother. As long as you work hard and focus on the Sui Family, everything in the Sui Family will be yours in the future.”
At the Shi family.
Ever since Yi Zheng returned from signing the agreement with the Huo family, he had been staring at Shi Man with a smile, unwilling to even blink.
Shi Man could only cover his eyes speechlessly. “You’ve seen my face at least a thousand times. Haven’t you seen enough?”
“How can I have enough of you?” Yi Zheng smiled and pulled her hand down. He boldly rubbed it in his palm. “Today is a good day. Do you know why?”
Shi Man glanced at him coldly but did not retract her hand. “You’re so excited just because you got a little mining rights?”
Yi Zheng chuckled. While the Shi family left the living room to give them space, he lowered his voice and whispered into Shi Man’s ear, “Of course not because of this. When I said it was a good day, I mean that I know that Manman has always believed in me.”
Shi Man glanced at him from the corner of her eye and couldn’t help but smile. However, she said unforgivingly, “Don’t be smug. You haven’t resolved your matter yet. You’re still under observation.”
Yi Zheng pursed his lips and smiled. “If you didn’t believe me, why would you deliberately expose Chen Jiao? Actually, you trusted me from the beginning. The reason why you did that was to let me resolve the matter as soon as possible.”
“Then have you resolved it?” Shi Man looked at him with a faint smile.
Yi Zheng nodded matter-of-factly. “Manman helped me so much. If 1 don’t speed up, won’t I be letting you down? Don’t worry, I’ve already investigated.”
Shi Man raised her eyebrows and waited for him to continue.
Yi Zheng said slowly, “In this mining rights incident, I found out that the Sui family has the help of the Jiang family. The reason why they could find traces of Jiang Huan is because of the eldest son of the Jiang family, Jiang Yu. However, the person who joined forces with the Sui family is Jiang Yu’s younger brother, Jiang Han.”
“So?” Shi Man waited patiently for him to continue.
Yi Zheng didn’t leave her hanging. He picked up the main point and explained, “1 found out that Jiang Han’s relationship with the youngest son of the Sui family, Sui Ling, has suddenly improved recently. When Chen Jiao was brought into the company by Tang Zhe as a secretary, the head of the Sui family, Sui Ze, had always wanted to deal with me, but on the surface, he didn’t make a move for a long time. Therefore, 1 suspect that they have already linked up.”
“Chen Jiao was sent by them, or rather, Jiang Han sent her to your side to help the Sui family.”
Coupled with the information she knew previously, Shi Man easily came to a conclusion.
“Therefore, Chen Jiao’s identity has become intriguing. I’m investigating along this line with Tang Zhe. I believe the results will be out in the next two days.” Yi Zheng smiled and flicked her forehead. “Don’t keep frowning. After this matter is over, I have something very important to discuss with you.”
“Can’t we discuss it now?” Shi Man asked in surprise.
Yi Zheng smiled mysteriously. “That won’t do, but you’ll know soon..”
