On his way back to the compound, Liang Wenlong received a message from Shizi. It read: On the afternoon of March 29, 2004, at 5:35 PM, Wang Xiaoxiaoping called Yiyi for 57 seconds. Then, at 5:37 PM, another call, nearly two minutes long, followed. The owner of this number was confirmed to be Hou Jie. Liang Wenlong's face turned pale with rage. Wang Xiaoping was clearly involved in this matter. She had repeatedly used petty tricks to harm Yiyi, and now she wanted Yiyi's life. Thinking of the person behind Hou Jie, Liang Wenlong sent Shizi another message, urging him to investigate Hou Jie's source of funds and any significant expenditures by Wang Xiaoping, including those from her parents.
An angry Liang Wenlong returned home. The old man saw that he was in a bad mood and asked him what was going on. Liang Wenlong had no choice but to say to him, "Grandpa, let's go to the study and talk." Then he helped the old man upstairs.
In the study, Liang Wenlong told the old man everything he had found out today, including the fact that he asked Shizi to investigate Wang Xiaoping. The old man was so angry that he trembled after hearing this. Liang Wenlong quickly advised: "Grandpa, your grandson wanted to hide this from you today. I was afraid that your body could not bear it. But after thinking about it, it is better for everyone in the family to know about it, so that we can be prepared. Who knows if her family will do something else? Today it was Yiyi, and tomorrow it could be someone else. Besides, it is not worth getting angry for Wang Xiaoping. Didn't our family know what kind of person she is a long time ago? There is nothing to be disappointed about her doing this. I just feel sorry for Yiyi. Hasn't she been bullied enough by her since she was a child? I didn't expect her to be so cruel this time."
After hearing what Liang Wenlong said, the old man calmed down a little, "It seems that I really can't show them mercy this time. If I don't beat them to death with one stick, they will always jump out again and again, and may even harm my granddaughter. Yi Yi is lucky this time, but what about next time? She can disregard family affection, so don't blame me for being ruthless." After saying that, he slammed his palm hard on the table.
Liang Wenlong knew that the old man was really furious this time, and hurriedly advised: "Grandpa, you can't be angry anymore. Yi Yi said something that makes the most sense. You have to take good care of your health. If Yi Yi is bullied, you can support her!"
When he thought of his granddaughter, the old man immediately remembered what he said to his eldest son last night: "Yes, yes, I can't be angry. I have to watch Yi Yi grow up well. I have to live well so that I can support Yi Yi."
Liang Wenlong was speechless watching his grandfather mumbling to himself. Whenever he was angry, as long as Yi Yi was mentioned or Yi Yi came to persuade him, he would immediately calm down and swallow his anger, no matter how big it was. No one else would be treated this way. It was natural for Yi Yi to be liked by the old man now, but Yi Yi was not like this before. It was really puzzling that the old man liked her so much. Fortunately, the two brothers no longer cared about the old man's favoritism and were quite happy to see it happen, otherwise they would be jealous of Yi Yi. Well, it was no wonder that Wang Xiaoping felt unbalanced when she thought about this. They were both grandchildren, one was a granddaughter and the other a granddaughter-in-law, but the difference in front of the old man was so big. No wonder she didn't like Yi Yi. Bah, bah, bah, what was she thinking? Yi Yi was the best. Wang Xiaoping didn't deserve anyone to be nice to her. It would be strange if anyone liked someone who didn't even care about family affection.
"Grandpa, when I came up just now, the food was ready. Let's go downstairs to eat. Your grandson has been busy all morning and is really hungry. You can't just think about Yiyi and not feel sorry for your grandson!" Liang Wenlong also acted coquettishly in front of the old man. This can be regarded as a new skill he learned from Yiyi. He touched the invisible sweat on his forehead. There was no way, he had to divert the old man's attention. Fortunately, there was no one in the study, otherwise he would be too ashamed to see anyone if the news got out.
"Okay, go downstairs and eat right away. Don't think about it anymore. Eating is more important." In fact, in the old man's heart, all his grandsons are the same, including Wenbo and Wenpeng from his second son's family. Although they are not around often, he still thinks about them all the same. He also thinks about them when he has good things. Only this only granddaughter, although she was a bit naughty in the past, is quite filial and obedient in front of the old man, and the old man feels that he and his granddaughter are very compatible. In short, Liang Yiyi is good in every way, even when she is naughty. What's more, Liang Yiyi has changed now. Even the old guys in the courtyard are jealous that he has such a good granddaughter like Yiyi. He is very happy in his heart. Coupled with Yiyi's performance recently, the old man simply wants to spoil her to the sky.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Liang Wenlong received a call from Shizi. The call mainly discussed two matters. The first was that Wang Xiaoping hadn't made any significant income or expenditure recently, and neither had her parents used any significant funds. The second was the information Liang Wenlong had previously asked him to investigate, regarding Ryouta Shinji. Ryouta Shinji: male, 48 years old, the second son of the current head of the Ryouta family. Due to his lack of significant achievements, he had always been somewhat disfavored within the family, serving as a mere department manager within the family-owned Xinyou Group. However, for unknown reasons, earlier this year, in January 2004, Ryouta Shinji was suddenly dispatched to China by the family. He acted swiftly and, through various means, successfully acquired Fuda Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., holding over 90% of the company's shares and becoming its chairman. Furthermore, there were rumors that Xinyou Group had always served the government of Country R. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible for Xinyou Group, a small, third-rate enterprise, to surpass most of Japan's more established companies in such a short period of time and become a pillar of the Japanese economy. Furthermore, Ryouta Shinji, frustrated and frustrated, has a sinister and tyrannical personality. He's closely associated with Shirai Moriki, the third-in-command of the Yamaguchi-gumi. Ryouta Shinji has a group of people working for him who handle seemingly difficult matters, and their origins are unknown. Therefore, Shizi suspects that these people may be closely related to Shirai Moriki, the Yamaguchi-gumi.
After hanging up the phone, Liang Wenlong recalled his previous conclusions. Since there had been no monetary exchange between Wang Xiaoping and Hou Jie, where did Hou Jie's money come from? How did Wang Xiaoping know Hou Jie? And what about Ryoda Shinji? What did all this have to do with him? The more he dug into the case, the more questions he had. The key was that despite all his research, he still couldn't figure out the true purpose of the person behind it. Thinking back to Yi Yi's words yesterday about checking if Wang Xiaoping had any contact with anyone at Fidelity, he felt like Yi Yi had a hidden agenda. Now that the clues were gone, it seemed his only option was to investigate Ryoda Shinji's personal relationships and see who he had interacted with.
