Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 496 Encounter
Chapter 496: Chapter 496 Encounter
Originally tasked with investigating Lin Group, they never imagined it would involve so many forces and families.
Had it not been for their group delving into the matter, it might have gone undiscovered, or perhaps anyone else lacking their strength who tried might have been counter-tracked.
Each of them looked gravely serious, casting a shadow over Yueyue’s heart, perhaps there really was a major conspiracy.
"You should know that the Lin Family is in the steel business, and steel is an indispensable material for making weapons. The reason the Lin Family has developed so quickly is because they have backing."
Yueyue’s eyes and brows lowered. If the Lin Family truly had backing, they wouldn’t have faced bankruptcy.
She pondered for a moment, then looked at Wu Yi, "Who are the forces working with the Lin Family?"
"The biggest two are the Weapon Association and Yunguang Conglomerate," Wu Yi said solemnly. freeweɓnovel.cøm
It was well known that the Weapon Association indeed procured steel from Lin Group.
As for Yunguang Conglomerate, they were in the foreign trade export business and didn’t have any subsidiaries dealing in steel.
However, they ordered tens of millions of tons of steel from Lin Group every year, which was hard not to be suspicious of.
Following this lead, they found that the last batch of goods was transported overseas via Yunguang Conglomerate’s cargo ships, with the Sacke Gang being the final destination.
After carefully reviewing the information they had assembled, Yueyue’s expression became intense.
This explained why Lin Xuanze had been drugged and dragged away while in the North Wilderness.
It seemed the person knew Lin Xuanze and planned to threaten Aunt Xiang or control Lin Group through him.
"The transactions between Lin Group and Yunguang Conglomerate are secretive; many people are unaware of them."
"I see. Check the Weapon Association next. I always feel like there’s more to it," Yueyue said, suspecting there might be some transactions between the Weapon Association and Lin Group.
Otherwise, why would the Weapon Association take particular interest in Lin Group out of so many steel companies?
"Alright, I got it," Wu Yi nodded slightly.
A group of people left the office and happened to see Mo Lingwei packing her bags.
A pair of eyes, filled with resentment and malice, glared fiercely at Yueyue and Mo Fan.
Overnight, she had become significantly more haggard; not even a thick layer of foundation could hide her dark circles, her fingernails digging into her flesh.
Why was everything she had struggled so hard for, crushed to dust before these two!
Her status as a proud B-level member of the Black Alliance was a joke in Mo Fan’s eyes, and even more so in Yueyue’s.
What had she done wrong? Why was the world so unfair to her?
They were born into wealth as young masters and ladies, enjoying endless glory and riches, while she had to fight desperately for everything, only to find her assumed success was merely a laughingstock.
The two cast an indifferent glance at her before turning and entering the elevator.
Yueyue made a phone call to Lin Xiang.
It seemed he was busy, as the call wasn’t answered.
**
Lan City Hospital VIP ward.
Yun Zhonghai was desperately blocking Liu Lanfang, "Mom, you mustn’t answer this phone call, and not Xuan Ze’s either. If they find out that Lin Xiang is hospitalized, they’ll definitely come back. With Jing University being so demanding, let’s not disturb their studies."
Liu Lanfang: "..."
"Listen to me, you have to answer it, it’s the only way to save Lin Xiang," she said sternly, with unprecedented firmness.
Yun Zhonghai: "?!"
"No, Yueyue knows nothing about medicine, even if we tell her, it’s no use. Dr. Liu has said it’s hereditary, and the chance of a cure at Lan City Hospital is slim. We must send her to Beijing Hospital for treatment as soon as possible," Yun Zhonghai didn’t listen to her and instructed Secretary Li standing beside him.
"Secretary Li, this news must not get out. Otherwise, the company will be in big trouble. I’ll first take Lin Xiang to the city hospital."
"Alright... President Yun, shouldn’t we still tell Miss Yun though? After all, her fiancé is that person, and he certainly knows many authoritative doctors at Jing City Hospital. After all, those doctors are very difficult to invite," Secretary Li couldn’t help but speak up.
"We’ll see," Yun Zhonghai sighed. Before Lin Xiang lost consciousness, she had entrusted him not to tell the two of them.
If they really couldn’t keep it a secret, then there was nothing to be done.
Liu Lanfang was also helpless, "Ah, I’ll accompany you, and let’s call Sister Li as well. The more people we have, the more help we can get."
"Right, let my mom come along too. I’ll call her to pack her bags now. We can’t delay; let’s leave this afternoon," Secretary Li said and went out to make the call.
Yun Zhonghai went to take care of the transfer procedures.
That night at eight o’clock, Lin Xiang was sent to Jing City Hospital, and happened to run into Lin Xuanze, who was there seeking refuge.
At first, Lin Xuanze could hardly believe his eyes that he would encounter them at Jing City Hospital. The group, in a rush and fluster, didn’t notice him – perhaps they didn’t even recognize him. Feeling a bad premonition, he immediately approached them.
"Dad! What are you guys doing here?! Who’s sick?"
Lin Xiang had already been wheeled away, leaving only Yun Zhonghai and Sister Li processing the paperwork.
Being abruptly called ’dad,’ Yun Zhonghai shuddered. Whatever he feared had come to pass - he had just arrived at the hospital and already bumped into Lin Xuanze.
He turned around with controlled expression, looking at Lin Xuanze, who resembled Yun Yue in style, somewhat startled, "Ah? Xuan Ze, what are you doing here? What’s with the panda eyes?!"
"Who hit you? Did you face bullying at school?!" Yun Zhonghai immediately sprang into action, wondering what heavy hand could have caused such a mess!
Lin Xuanze: "..."
He had forgotten about the injury on his face. While it wasn’t apparent from a distance, it was very clear up close. Fearing she might head to the school, he quickly explained, "No one hit me, I just signed up for a taekwondo hobby class, that’s all. I got this from practice."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhonghai finally let the matter rest, but Lin Xuanze brought the subject back.
"Dad, you still haven’t told me who’s sick, is it Mom or Grandma?" Lin Xuanze was somewhat anxious.
Sister Li hesitated, ultimately looking towards Yun Zhonghai.
"They’re fine, it’s me who’s sick. Medical resources in Lan City are limited, so I came to Jing City Hospital for a checkup."
"I see, have you had the checkup yet? I’ll accompany you."
Seeing Lin Xuanze being led astray, Yun Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief. This kid was still easy to deceive, unlike Yun Yue, who would have seen through them at a glance.
"No need, no need, Sister Li is here with me, that’s fine. You better go back quickly, you have classes tomorrow," Yun Zhonghai waved his hand, urging him to leave.
Seeing this, Lin Xuanze didn’t insist further, "Okay then, but if you find anything wrong, you have to tell me."
"Sure, sure, will do," Yun Zhonghai watched him leave, then entered the elevator with Sister Li.
Yun Zhonghai and Sister Li rushed to the ward to find no one around. It was only after asking a nurse that they learned the patient had been taken for an examination.
The two followed the directions and finally found Liu Lanfang waiting outside.
"Mom," Yun Zhonghai walked over, looking anxiously towards the inside.
Sister Li said to Liu Lanfang, "We just ran into the young master on the first floor, nearly got discovered. Luckily, the young master has always been easy to fool. If it had been the young miss, she would have definitely seen through us."
Hearing this, Liu Lanfang silently looked past the two of them, then fell silent.
"..."
It’s actually you two who are easy to fool; the person is right behind you and you didn’t even notice.
