Chapter 314 There is Still a Chance
In the next few days, I began to actively contact potential sponsors from other industries. Although the process was not smooth, I did not give up. At the same time, I was also closely following the dynamics of Fan Shuiguang's company and even secretly investigating her financial situation.
However, everything seems to be normal and there are no signs of collapse.
"Is Su Ming trying to scare me?" I couldn't help but think.
However, just when I let my guard down, a sudden storm came quietly. Fan Shuiguang's company was suddenly exposed for financial fraud, the stock price plummeted, and the capital chain was broken. And I, as her sponsor, was also involved in this storm.
"Sister Mo, what should we do?" Xiao Tiantian's voice was a little flustered.
I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down. "Don't panic yet, we still have a chance."
A few days later, that night, Xu Sisi called.
"Sister Mo, I found out." Xu Sisi lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of being heard. "The relationship between Su Ming and Fan Shuiguang... is much more complicated than we thought."
I frowned and subconsciously tightened my grip on the phone. "What do you mean?"
"Su Ming is not Fan Shuiguang's cousin, but his biological brother." Xu Sisi paused. In the background came the crisp sound of dice hitting glass, which was crisp but harsh. "Back then, when the old man of the Fan family favored boys over girls and gave his sister away, Su Ming was only two years old."
"What?!" I stood up suddenly, and the pillow on my back fell to the ground with a "click". Xiao Tiantian was sorting out the equipment for the live broadcast. The fill light in her hand flashed across my eyes, casting a distorted shadow on the ceiling, which was very similar to my chaotic thoughts at the moment.
"So... Su Ming is here for revenge?" I asked in a low voice, my voice trembling slightly.
"It's very likely." Xu Sisi's voice was still calm. "The Fan family sent Su Ming's sister away back then, and Su Ming knew about it since he was a child. He has been investigating the Fan family's background over the years, and Fan Shuiguang is just his first step."
I took a deep breath and felt like a huge rock was pressing on my chest, making it hard to breathe. Fan Shuiguang's sponsorship, Su Ming's sudden appearance, the secrets of the Fan family... all of this was like a huge net, slowly tightening around me.
"Sisi, how did you find out all this?" I couldn't help but ask, full of curiosity about Xu Sisi's investigation process.
Xu Sisi was silent for a few seconds, as if she was organizing her thoughts. "Actually, I didn't think too much about it at first. I just thought the relationship between Su Ming and Fan Shuiguang was a little strange. They are obviously cousins, but Su Ming treats Fan Shuiguang like an enemy. So, I started with the background of the Fan family and began to check their family history."
"The history of the Fan family?" I frowned. "You can't just look it up, right?"
"It's really not easy." Xu Sisi's voice was filled with a hint of pride. "I first found some old employees of the Fan family, especially those old servants who had worked for the Fan family for more than ten years. Although they are retired, they know a lot about the Fan family. One of the old servants, surnamed Li, has worked for the Fan family for more than 20 years. She told me that Mr. Fan did have a daughter, but she was sent away when she was two years old."
"Sent away?" I was stunned for a moment, "Why?"
"Preferring sons over daughters." Xu Sisi's tone was filled with a hint of sarcasm. "Mr. Fan always wanted a son, but Fan Shuiguang's mother's health was not very good after she gave birth to two daughters. Later, Mr. Fan had an affair with Su Ming's mother, and gave birth to Su Ming. But Su Ming's mother was of low status, so Mr. Fan was unwilling to acknowledge her. He only took Su Ming back, but Su Ming's sister was sent away."
"Does Su Ming know about this?" I asked.
"Of course I know." Xu Sisi's voice turned cold. "Su Ming knew since he was a child that his sister was sent away, but he never knew where she was sent. Over the years, he has been secretly investigating, and it was not until Mr. Fan passed away last year that he found a clue."
"So, Su Ming is now taking revenge on the Fan family?" I asked in a low voice, feeling a little uneasy.
"That's right." Xu Sisi's tone became serious, "Su Ming not only wants to retaliate against the Fan family, but also wants to swallow up Fan Shuiguang's industry. He has been secretly planning over the years, and Fan Shuiguang's company has long been targeted by him."
I took a deep breath and felt like a huge rock was pressing down on my chest, making it hard to breathe. "Sisi, how long did it take you to find this out?"
"Almost a week." Xu Sisi's voice was a little tired. "I went to many places and met many people before I pieced together this information. Especially the old maid. She didn't want to talk at first, but I persuaded her and finally got some details out of her."
"Thank you for your hard work, Sisi." I said sincerely, and my admiration for Xu Sisi increased even more.
"It's okay. This is what I should do." Xu Sisi smiled and said in a more relaxed tone, "But Sister Mo, you have to be careful. Su Ming is not an ordinary person. If he thinks you are getting in his way, he might do something bad to you."
"I understand." I nodded, but I still felt a little uneasy. "Sisi, keep investigating and see what Su Ming will do next. If you have any new clues, tell me at any time."
"Okay." Xu Sisi responded and hung up the phone.
I put down my phone and leaned back on the sofa, but my mind was still restless. Su Ming's revenge, the secrets of the Fan family, Fan Shuiguang's sponsorship... all of this was like a huge storm, sweeping towards me.
I was lying on the sofa feeling upset when Jiang Yichen came strolling in. He saw my bitter face and immediately came over to me, asking with sparkling eyes: "Baby, what's wrong? Who was that person who just called? Why did you look so gloomy after the call, as if someone owed you money?"
I glanced at him and sighed, "It's Su Ming again. Sisi found out that he was taking revenge on the Fan family and had his eyes on Fan Shuiguang's assets. He has been secretly doing something behind the scenes."
When Jiang Yichen heard this, his eyes widened and his eyebrows stood up: "What? This Su Ming is too mean! But, your husband is here, don't worry about it"
I patted his hands and forced a smile: "Oh, I can handle it, you don't have to worry about it this time. I'll ask Sisi to continue investigating and tell me when there is any news."
Jiang Yichen was unhappy, and pulled me into his arms, rubbing his chin against my head: "How can I not worry? You are my treasure in my heart. If Su Ming does something bad to you, I will be heartbroken. Don't bear it alone, let's find a solution together."
I nuzzled into his arms and muttered, "I know you feel sorry for me, but I don't want you to be dragged into this. I want to solve this on my own."
