"Have you found anything?" Shang Xian asked Shen Yi.
Shen Yi looked at the file folder in front of him and flipped through it: "There's a lot of information here, all sorts of family drama plots, I think it's a bit melodramatic."
Shang Xian's eyes darkened; it was indeed related to the Ji family: "Tell me about it."
"The person who wants to kill you is Ji Yi's father, Ji Shifei."
"Why?"
"His purpose in killing you is to obtain the company shares held by Ji Yi, a full 45%. Ji Yi's brother, Ji Li, holds 15% of the shares, which means he himself only owns 40% of the shares." Shen Yi was somewhat surprised when he first saw this, but he understood when he read on.
"Is there a problem with the distribution of these shares?" After all, a listed company cannot exist without other shareholders.
"No one else invested; it was all from Ji Yi's mother's family. As long as Ji Shifei is good to the family, that's enough. So, to show his sincerity, Ji Shifei gave 40% of the shares to the unborn Ji Yi. Ji Li also has shares, but after he came of age, he chose to start his own business and has indeed achieved considerable success, comparable to the Ji Group."
Shen Yi's words were interrupted by Shang Xian: "Wait, then why come to kill Ji Yi? Won't his future shares go to his son?"
"This leads to another matter: the illegitimate child that Ji Shifei had with another woman."
"Illegitimate child!" Shang Xian said loudly, and all three men inside heard him.
"Ji Shifei had an affair with another woman while Ji Yi's mother was pregnant, which led to Ji Yi's mother accidentally ingesting saffron—it was all a conspiracy. Later, an illegitimate child was born six months after Ji Yi's birth. They went to great lengths to kill Ji Yi so they could seize the shares. Ji Yi's mother also discovered the clues and, using her poor health as an excuse, sent Ji Yi back to her parents' home. Ji Yi only returned two years ago, which is why Ji Yi's mother wanted to marry her off right after Ji Yi graduated."
Shang Xian stood there, rubbing his forehead, "I can't take it anymore, my head hurts, I can't handle such a complicated task, I don't want to do it anymore."
Shen Yi chuckled softly: "I haven't told you about the years Ji Yi has been away from Luo City."
Shang Xian's steps were a little unsteady, so she quickly lay down on the sofa.
"Go on, I'm listening."
"The peace in the Ji family ended when Ji Li's company became able to rival the Ji family. Ji Li also knew about the illegitimate child. Seeing his mother's constant melancholy and his sister's perpetual danger, he wanted to bring down the Ji family business so that everything would end. However, just when he was about to destroy the Ji family business, his mother disappeared. Ji Shifei told Ji Li that if he dared to touch the Ji family business, Su Shuqin would be gone. Ji Li never expected Ji Shifei to resort to such desperate measures, kidnapping his mother to blackmail him. He has been too afraid to touch the Ji family business ever since."
Shang Xian slowly sat up from the sofa: "So he hasn't dared to touch the Ji Group, and my brother hasn't been able to find anyone?"
"The person is dead, where are we going to look?" Shen Yi's words shocked Shang Xian.
"Dead?" Shang Xian asked again to confirm.
"A year ago, Su Shuqin told Ning's mother about this, and Ning's mother immediately arranged for Ji Yi and Ning Beiyao to marry, using the Ning family's power to protect Ji Yi. When Ji Shifei found out that Su Shuqin had been in contact with the outside world, he was worried that Ji Li would find her, so he put Su Shuqin in a freezer so that Ji Li wouldn't be able to find her."
Shang Xian remained silent for a long time, and Shen Yi called her several times without responding.
