Approaching late morning, Li Qiao and her party set off for the old residence.
Yun Lih did not follow, driving himself to an office building in Parma city.
The car came to a stop, and immediately a bodyguard stepped forward to open the door, respectfully calling out, "Master Yun."
Yun Lih swung his long legs out of the car, his gaze indifferently sweeping the surroundings, "Everyone’s here?"
"Yes, all five of Parma’s top financial advisors are waiting for you in the conference room, including the investment cases you requested, all prepared."
Yun Lih straightened his sleeves and, with a lift of his lips toward the direction of the elevators, said, "Lead the way."
"This way, please." The bodyguard led Yun Lih toward an elevator, and this building was the Universe Investment Headquarters.
Inside the elevator, Yun Lih stood in the center, straight and tall, while on his phone, "I’ve arrived at Universe."
At the same time, in a Ou Lu car, Li Qiao, with her Bluetooth headset in place, said, "Tell the financial advisors to particularly observe her virtual currency and gold trading in the past year, there should be gains to find."
After a brief exchange, the two hung up the phone.
Li Qiao pressed her Bluetooth headset and turned her head, only to meet Shang Yu’s profound gaze. She blinked and asked with a light smile, "What’s wrong?"
The man turned his head to look at her, his deep eyes filled with interest, "Investigating Shang Fu?"
At this moment, Li Qiao leaned comfortably against the back of her seat, her lips curling slightly, "No, I’m going to smash her rice bowl."
Virtual currency and gold trading were two investment areas where Shang Fu had always prided herself.
It was also because of her exceptional investment abilities in these areas that she initially had the chance to join the International Club.
And what Li Qiao wanted to do was to destroy the capital she took pride in.
All of it, the capital!
Li Qiao looked out the window with a heavy mind, silently calculating the details. Her eyes narrowed slightly and she asked, "Where’s Wen Shi?"
"Miss Li, he’s in the basement of the estate," said Liuyun.
Li Qiao nodded in understanding, then turned to look at Shang Yu with a faint expression, "The Sixth Bureau found out that Wen Shi’s parents died by hanging themselves, and being expelled from the family was a decision by the main house. Why is he so certain that you killed his parents?"
Shang Yu lazily raised his eyelids, staring at Li Qiao’s cool gaze, his thin lips slightly parting, "The official conclusion of the police was suicide by hanging, but the real cause of his parents’ death was chronic mercury poisoning."
Chronic mercury poisoning...
With such chronic poisoning cases, if no autopsy is conducted, it is indeed difficult to determine the real cause of death.
And a man like Shang Yu, who is so proud at heart, would never condescend to use such despicable means.
So the person who harmed Wen Shi’s parents must be someone else.
Li Qiao fell silent, her gaze dropping, and an ambiguous figure flickered through her mind.
Before long, the old residence was within sight.
Li Qiao, arm-in-arm with Shang Yu, said with purpose, "Is it possible to have Wen Shi brought to the old residence?"
The man’s leaning movement paused, and he looked deeply at Li Qiao. Without asking anything, he instructed Liuyun, "Go arrange it."
Liuyun nodded, "Yes, boss."
After getting out of the car, Li Qiao still wore the Bluetooth headset in her ear.
Shang Yu walked beside her, his hand naturally hooking around her waist, drawing her close as he whispered in her ear, "In the old house, anyone with an Eagle Beak Ring on their pinky is one of our own."
Li Qiao licked her lips, her laughter barely contained, "Sounds like there’s quite a few."
"The rest lounge of the eleventh family is in the Suhua Pavilion in the back garden." The man’s tone was full of indulgence, seemingly unconcerned with the century-old prestigious family estate before them.
