Chapter 137 Thorough Investigation, All Arrested
"Why is Fang Yefan back? Did he forget his keys?"
Fang Zhen, seemingly lost in thought, glanced at the surveillance footage with a grim expression.
Sure enough, not long after Fang Yefan left, a furtive servant ran up to him and said something.
Fang Yefan glanced at the main building, hesitated slightly, and then returned.
He stood outside the side hall and listened to their entire conversation.
Fang Ke laughed and said, "What kind of family tradition is this? Everyone likes to eavesdrop?"
Fang Zhen's expression turned even uglier. "I'll have someone call that maid over."
"No, please."
Fang Ke spoke up to stop him, "Father Fang, even if you call them here now, you still won't get anything out of them."
"If you're going to investigate, why alert them?"
Fang Yiling: "It seems that the few dishonest servants we caught last time weren't all of them. I'll investigate secretly these next few days to see how many others have been bribed."
Fang Ke looked at him approvingly, "Do you know which direction to investigate?"
Fang Yiling nodded, looking eager for guidance. "Those who deliberately contact Fang Manman and Fang Yefan seem to have ulterior motives. We need to know if they have anything in common, or if they are the same group of people. What exactly is their purpose in hiding in the Fang residence?"
"And then what?"
"Investigate the person behind it, investigate the source of everyone's money, and investigate the interpersonal relationships of these people."
Fang Ke nodded; his fourth brother was indeed reliable.
Fang Zhen looked at the two of them, somewhat lost in thought. He had almost forgotten what kind of child prodigies Fang Ke and Fang Yiling were when they were young.
They were involved in important family matters from the very beginning.
Fang Zhen calmed down and said, "Yi Ling, you've worked hard. You can take charge of this matter for now. If you need any resources, just come to me."
Fang Yiling asked, "Dad, if all these people are found out, what are you going to do about it?"
Fang Zhen's face was ashen. "Get them all out! Leave no one alive!"
If this happened in ancient times, any family with so many spies and traitors would probably have been beaten to death and sold off long ago.
Fang Zhen was so angry his hands trembled. He couldn't understand what these people's purpose was. Were they trying to sow discord within the Fang family? To monitor the Fang family? To frame the Fang family? To frame his children?
Fang Zhen felt like he was blind to have placed so many time bombs around him since when. How could he only notice them during this fire?
"Our dad is too kind."
As they walked out of the side hall, Fang Ke turned his head and smiled at Fang Yiling.
"If you really find all these people, you can call me."
A hint of excitement flickered in Fang Yiling's eyes. "Sister, what are you planning to do?"
Fang Ke stroked his chin and considered for a moment, "First, find a dark and windy night, knock them all unconscious, blindfold them, tie their hands and feet, load them up in a truck, and take them directly to an abandoned factory."
"?"
"Then, set up some equipment on site, like chainsaws and meat grinders, and keep them running, making sounds that will scare them to death. Of course, recordings are also an option, but recordings lack authenticity."
"…………"
"Then we can start the interrogation. Don't expect to get anything out of the first few. At this point, we need to make an example of them. Anyone who can't get any useful information out of three sentences should be dragged away and given a good beating to create screams of agony. A chainsaw might be useful too. The more tense and chaotic the scene, the better. After that, the remaining small group of 'lucky ones' will basically be able to tell you everything."
Fang Yiling looked at him with a puzzled expression, "What if they refuse to say anything no matter what?"
"Then let's bury them all."
"..."
"Hey, I was just kidding, Lingbao, you're not taking it seriously, are you?"
Fang Ke put her arm around his shoulder and laughed, "Don't worry, he's not a special forces soldier. If an ordinary person used this method, they could tell you the location of your ancestors' graves for eighteen generations."
"Anyway, remember, after we find the person, don't send them to the police station right away. Let us interrogate them ourselves. If they go in, it will be easier for the mastermind behind the scenes to manipulate things."
Fang Yiling nodded with a look of understanding, "I understand, sister."
"The family is counting on you. I have to go back to work in a couple of days."
"...Are you going to record that variety show?"
"Yeah, haha, you actually go online?"
"..." Fang Yiling was speechless. "Sister, can I go on a variety show with you?"
Fang Ke's eyes lit up. "You're actually interested in this? That's great, but it probably won't work this time. The guests are already set. I'll let you know next time."
"I'm not interested in variety shows, I just feel that it would be more fun if there were older sisters involved."
Fang Ke couldn't help but pinch his little cheek. "Come on, it's going to be fun, and there are lots of handsome guys and beautiful girls to introduce you to."
Fang Yiling, however, was no longer interested in any of that. He held the book Fang Ke had given him, thinking that he just wanted to spend more time with his sister.
Let's make up for the years we've been missing.
That evening, Fang Ke ate dinner at Fang's house, and when Yan Xinyi returned, she excitedly hugged her tightly.
Fang Ke gave Yan Xinyi a ruby necklace, which they bought at a small local auction during their stay in Switzerland.
The auction description stated that this was a private collection of a European queen, a pure pigeon blood red pigeon egg, and that Qin Muyuan was present. They won the bid for it for 7 million US dollars that day.
Fang Ke felt she had made a killing. She remembered that the Queen of England had a similar deal, which also started at the hundred million level.
However, it's true that you only realize how little money you have when you need it.
Fang Ke spent half of the card Yan Xinyi gave her on this necklace.
Yan Xinyi has been collecting jewelry for so many years, how could she not know its value?
I was both touched and heartbroken at the sight of it. "Coco, you should spend more money on yourself. Did you use all the allowance I received last time to buy this necklace?"
Fang Ke hugged her and said sweetly, "I still have my allowance. It's just that I happened to meet this girl. I felt a connection with her, and I think it suits Fang's mother very well. Look how good you look in it. It's like it was made for you."
Yan Xinyi was completely charmed by her.
"Besides, a ruby of this quality is a sure thing to make money. Maybe the price will double in two years. Let's treat it as an investment, right?"
Yan Xinyi couldn't argue with her, and her face was always beaming with a happy smile.
What woman wouldn't be happy to receive jewelry?
It was a gift from my beloved daughter.
At the dinner table, Fang Yefan was unhappy. After learning the value of the gift Fang Ke gave Yan Xinyi, his golden club seemed to lose its luster instantly and turned into a walnut hammer.
Fang Yefan couldn't help but think as he gripped his chopsticks, "At least I'm not at the bottom. Fang Yiling only received a few tattered books!"
After Fang Ke finished eating, the Fang family sent a driver to take her home.
Originally, Yan Xinyi and Fang Zhen wanted her to stay overnight, but Fang Ke thought about it and realized that she had to go home to pack and prepare for the show, so she insisted on going back.
After Fang Ke left, Yan Xinyi immediately called the housekeeper.
"Please select a few apartments in the city for me, suitable for young people. They should be large single-level apartments, but duplexes are also acceptable."
Butler Zhao immediately understood and made the arrangements.
After Yan Xinyi finished giving her instructions, the surroundings became quiet.
Looking at the newly transformed servants around her, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Yes.
Previously, whenever she wanted to acquire some property for Fang Ke, someone would always say, intentionally or unintentionally, in front of her:
Will the Fifth Miss be sad?
Let's not discriminate; they're all the lady's daughters...
The Fifth Miss has just returned home. Shouldn't Madam show her a little more favoritism? The Third Miss has already received enough over the years...
Yan Xinyi's face darkened slightly. She was also confused. She hadn't noticed all these years that these servants had overstepped their bounds and become incredibly audacious.
She summoned the few trusted elderly people she had brought from her hometown, saying, "I want you to be my eyes and ears, keeping an eye on everyone in the house. If you find anyone acting strangely, don't alert them; report to me immediately."
Everyone agreed.
