Maximize Interest, My Money Grows Infinitely-Chapter 303 - 204: Two Emails_2

Now it seems, this young girl’s potential is deeper and more inscrutable than he imagined.

If she knew that she could inherit this substantial fortune at the age of 30, who knows what commotion she would cause.

Chen Cheng couldn’t imagine how Wen Shulin would react upon learning the truth.

But he finally understood why Alina was so anxious to have Wen Shulin step aside, even resorting to threats.

Su Liya was eligible to inherit, but seeing such pristine US Dollars being taken by such a bastard, must have been the real reason behind Alina’s disdain.

Given that the first set of information, worth 300 million, was so explosive, Chen Cheng was even more curious about what was written in the next document, worth 3 billion, especially since it had [Reminder] attached to it.

He steadied his mind and cautiously opened the second envelop, and saw "Alina’s unspeakable secret."

In the attachment, there were two files.

One was an unnamed PDF, the other a video file.

Chen Cheng clicked on the PDF first.

It was a death certificate; the deceased was Piert Richard, with the date of death as July 6th, 1998, and the cause of death starkly noted as:

"Drug overdose."

Chen Cheng’s heart skipped a beat. Drug overdose?

Could there be hidden circumstances behind Piert’s death?

He continued reading; below the death certificate was Piert’s psychological assessment report from before his death.

The report began with the psychologist’s description of Piert’s personality:

"Mr. Piert was an immensely charming and intelligent man, but he was also one of the most complex and contradictory cases I have encountered."

"He had a sharp business sense, extraordinary courage, and precise judgment of risks, which made him tremendously successful in the financial market, amassing a significant fortune."

"However, behind his enormous success, Mr. Piert also dealt with unimaginable pressures that ordinary people couldn’t fathom."

"He suffered from extreme insecurity, always fearing that everything he had could disappear overnight. He craved love and recognition yet was terrified of betrayal and hurt."

"These contradictory psychologies left Mr. Piert constantly in a state of anxiety, depression, and manic mood swings, ultimately developing into severe depression and bipolar disorder."

The report detailed the extensive process of the psychological treatments Piert underwent over the past few years, including the medications he took, the effects of those treatments, and some personal statements from him.

During one treatment session, Piert told the psychologist:

"I feel like a clown wearing a mask, performing on stage every day. To earn the applause and cheers of the audience, I have to feign happiness and hide all my vulnerability and pain."

"Only in the dead of night can I take off the mask, alone with the empty room, accompanied only by my inner fears and loneliness."

"I know I have everything—money, fame, power—but I am not happy at all. I feel like a beast trapped in a golden cage, unable to breathe, unable to escape."

At the end of the report, the psychologist concluded:

"Mr. Piert’s condition is very severe; he needs long-term psychological therapy and medication. Otherwise, he is likely to have suicidal tendencies."

Seeing this, Chen Cheng frowned even deeper.

Putting both reports together, the presence of high concentrations of sleeping medication in Piert’s blood seemed reasonable.

But Chen Cheng was more puzzled.

Could such a successful man, at the helm of the financial giant CGG, blessed with fame and fortune like Piert, really commit suicide?

In Chen Cheng’s mind, the richer someone is, the more they fear death and desire to keep living.

How could a tycoon like Piert give up on his own life so easily?

He looked again at the email, at the video file.

With slightly trembling hands, he clicked on it.

After buffering, a scene appeared before Chen Cheng’s eyes.

This time, the clarity was much better compared to the previous surveillance video of Li Ya’s swimming pool.

Considering the cameras of that era, Chen Cheng figured this video wasn’t even 720P.

In the footage, a tall woman in a black long dress stood with her back to the camera, arguing fiercely with a man.

Although the woman’s face was unclear, the man she was arguing with was a burly man with a fierce expression.

Clearly, this man was not Piert.

Suddenly, the woman spun around and fiercely slapped the man.

"Smack!"

A crisp sound, particularly piercing in the empty room.

The man covered his face, his eyes full of anger, yet he seemed very wary of the woman. Ultimately, he managed to suppress his rage and left the room without saying a word.

The woman, like an enraged lioness, smashed everything smashable in the room to pieces, finally collapsing on the floor, hysterically screaming:

"No! This isn’t real! He won’t die! I never thought he would die!"

The video ended there, but Chen Cheng sat immobile, as if struck by lightning.

The woman’s hysteria and her words "I never thought he would die," clearly indicated that Piert’s death was not as the police report had described.

Chen Cheng took several deep breaths and dragged the progress bar back, re-examining the details.

He pulled the video to the part where the woman slapped the man, carefully observing the woman’s expressions and movements.

On the woman’s face, in addition to anger, there seemed to also be a hint of panic and chaos, her hands shaking, and her eyes darting around, as if desperately hiding something.
