Ye Mohan nodded. "Yes, according to the investigation results from Lin Yi and You Luo, the car accident my mother was in was indeed caused by someone. Currently, a lot of the evidence we have points to Jian Mingpeng."

However, it's quite possible he's just a doer; the one who truly wants your mother dead is probably someone else.

After hearing this, Jian Yixue frowned, her eyes filled with coldness.

It really was him!

Damn it, how could he do such a thing to his own wife? Doesn't he fear retribution?

Jian Mingpeng, your good days are over!

I will demand everything you owe my daughter and me back.

Death is not the most terrifying thing; I want you to witness firsthand the complete disappearance of everything you care about.

A life of separation from family, ruin, and universal contempt—I wonder if you would like that?

Now, prepare for my revenge!

Suddenly remembering Ye Mohan's last sentence, she looked at Ye Mohan in confusion.

"Someone else?"

Ye Mohan nodded with a similarly serious expression, "It's just speculation at the moment."

He then handed the documents he had brought back to Jian Yixue, who took them and began to read them immediately. The more she read, the more her brows furrowed, and her eyes flashed with a glacial coldness.

After finishing reading, he closed the book and continued Ye Mohan's previous topic, "Judging from the results of the investigation, there is a high probability that it was indeed Jian Mingpeng who deliberately killed my mother."

However, since these investigative channels cannot be made public, the law cannot punish Jian Mingpeng.

And you're saying there's someone else behind this because Jian Mingpeng's motives at the time weren't enough to justify his crime, right?

When Ye Mohan heard Jian Yixue's reasoned and well-founded analysis, and how she could even guess his thoughts, he was somewhat amazed by her.

She truly is his woman; she even inherited his intelligence.

Ye Mohan frowned, and his deep, calm voice reached Jian Yixue's ears.

"Hmm. According to the investigation results, when your mother had the accident, Jian Mingpeng and Qiao Yaxiang had been together for five years. It doesn't make sense that he killed his wife because he wanted to give Qiao Yaxiang a legitimate status."

If he wanted to take action, he could have done it long ago. There was no need to wait until Jian Jiaojiao was five years old. Although it was a possibility, given Jian Mingpeng's cautious nature, he would never put himself in a dangerous situation.

After Ye Mohan finished speaking, he looked at Jian Yixue. Jian Yixue listened, lowered her head and pondered for a while, then nodded.

Seeing this, Ye Mohan continued, "Another aspect—business. From the very beginning, the Jian Group has been controlled by Jian Mingpeng alone. Initially, the actual controlling shareholders were Jian Mingpeng and your mother, each holding 50%."

After you were born, your mother unconditionally transferred 30% of her shares to Jian Mingpeng. From then on, your mother never interfered in any matters concerning the Jian Group again. From that time on, the Jian Group could be said to be solely managed by Jian Mingpeng.

At this point, Ye Mohan looked at Jian Yixue, because he knew that with Jian Yixue's intelligence, she would understand without needing to say more.

Jian Yixue nodded, deep in thought, and muttered to herself, "Hmm, that's true. But who could my mother, a housewife, have offended? And who would want her dead? Why not just do it directly? Or does Jian Mingpeng know something that would lead him to kill my mother? Like my identity?"

Did Jian Mingpeng accidentally discover his true identity back then, believe that his mother had cheated on him, and in a fit of anger, kill himself?

After all, men are creatures who can cheat on their partners unconditionally multiple times, but cannot tolerate a woman having even the slightest thought of betraying them, especially since his mother gave birth to a child who did not belong to him, Jian Mingpeng.

Jian Yixue thought about it for a moment, then rejected her own idea.

If Jian Mingpeng knew she wasn't his biological child, and had already killed her mother, wouldn't dealing with her be a piece of cake?

She was so small back then; she could disappear without a trace with the slightest touch.

If he didn't know, then why did Jian Mingpeng kill her mother?

For a moment, Jian Yixue couldn't understand it at all.

Yet she could also sense that behind this misty fog, there seemed to be an invisible net enveloping her, and she was caught in it.

Ye Mohan frowned as he heard Jian Yixue's words.

He couldn't understand why Jian Mingpeng would choose to strike at that time; the evidence he had didn't explain it. He could only wait for Lin Yi's investigation results to find out.

Suddenly remembering something, he turned to look at Jian Yixue, "Do you still remember the jade pendant your mother left you?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue's mind stirred, and a familiar wooden box appeared in her hand. She then opened it, took out the jade pendant, and showed it to Ye Mohan. "This?"

Ye Mohan nodded, took the jade pendant from Jian Yixue's hand. It was warm to the touch. After examining it carefully, he looked up at Jian Yixue.

"When I first saw you holding it, it looked very familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere before."

Then I remembered that I had seen Dongfang Yi carry one before, and it was extremely similar to your mother's jade pendant, especially in terms of carving, which seemed to be done in the same way.

The only difference is that his is cold, green jade, while your mother's is warm, white jade.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue immediately became interested.

"Dongfang Yi?"

Who is it?

Is it what she thinks?

Mother's family?

Upon hearing Jian Yixue's question, Ye Mohan, realizing that Jian Yixue had never met Dongfang Yi, explained.

"Yes, it's a friend of mine. The reason I was able to find you so quickly at the auction in the US was because of him. He's the young master of the Dongfang family and their designated heir. That auction was organized by the Dongfang family."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue seemed to remember something and asked, "They are an Eastern family that moved from Country Z to Country H decades ago for reasons unknown."

As for why Jane Yixue knew...

That's because she had heard of this mysterious family in H country before, and as far as she knew, the family was extremely low-key.

They rarely have any connection with the outside world, are indifferent to fame and fortune, and live a secluded life in this turbulent world.

Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan nodded.

"Yes, it's him. I met Dongfang Yi by chance. The Dongfang family has always been a mysterious force. They do not submit to any power, yet no power dares to antagonize them."

I don't have in-depth knowledge of the internal affairs of the Dongfang family. But as far as I know, I've never heard any rumors about the Dongfang family having any daughters left behind outside, so I'm not sure if your mother has any relationship with the Dongfang family.

But you don't need to worry. I've already contacted Dongfang Yi and asked him to come over when he has time. However, the Dongfang family is currently holding auctions all over the country, and he can't get away right now.
