"Uncle Jiang, I will always remember this."
Uncle Jiang's body trembled.
His heart pounded, and his lips trembled: "Your mother left you a letter?"
Jiang Yilai's heart stirred, and her expression became even more sincere: "Yes, I just received it. Uncle Jiang, I know you must have had your reasons all these years, and I believe my mother in heaven would understand you, but I only hope that you will tell me the truth for the sake of my friendship with my mother."
Jiang Yilai's words stirred up memories in Uncle Jiang's heart.
He was a company veteran and also a good friend of Jiang Yilai's mother.
In fact, it was a group of them who founded the company together.
But later...
Uncle Jiang looked at Jiang Yilai and his friend's identical faces, and the same firmness and gentleness.
The ice in their eyes finally began to crack.
Uncle Jiang's shoulders slumped.
His eyes were slightly moist, filled with guilt: "I'm sorry to your mother, but at that time, my unfilial son was tricked and incurred huge debts. If I didn't pretend that I didn't know anything, I would be fired from the company, and my whole family would be dragged down to death. I... I really didn't dare!"
Jiang Yilai felt a tightness in her chest.
What does this mean?
Uncle Jiang clutched his hair, tears streaming down his face: "Now that things have come to this, I'll tell you everything. This project is related to your mother's background!"
Jiang Yilai's eyes widened suddenly.
"I only figured it out later. At that time, the gene tracking project had just made a big breakthrough. Your mother was very happy, and we were happy for her too. But then a company wanted to acquire it. Your mother and Qin Yuyuan strongly opposed it. But then, your mother suddenly fell ill and passed away in just a few months!"
"After your mother died, Qin Yuyuan was kicked out of the company by Jiang Weijie. The two of them got into a fight, and I only heard snippets of conversation from outside."
Uncle Jiang suddenly became agitated: "There must be something fishy about this! Your mother loves sports and has always been in good health. How could she suddenly become seriously ill!"
Buzz—
A tremendous roar echoed in Jiang Yilai's mind.
A chill instantly seeped into my entire body.
Mom—didn't die from illness?
It took Jiang Yilai a long time to find her voice.
She asked with difficulty, "Was this done by Jiang Weijie?"
"There is no evidence."
Uncle Jiang couldn't bear to look at her almost transparent face and looked away: "But Jiang Weijie strongly supported selling the project at the time. Later, the acquisition failed, your mother passed away, and he immediately kicked Qin Yuyuan out of the company and stopped the project."
Anyone would suspect something was amiss with his behavior.
Stepping out of the teahouse, Jiang Yilai was completely dazed.
Before leaving, Uncle Jiang could barely lift his head: "Eli, I feel guilty for betraying your mother's trust, but I also have my own family to take care of. All I can do to help you is tell you this."
Jiang Yilai snapped out of her daze.
She understood the meaning behind Uncle Jiang's words.
He didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore.
Jiang Yilai pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "I am already very grateful that you told me the truth."
"Your mother used to keep important things in the company's small warehouse. Maybe there are still project files from back then there... There are probably more things that only Jiang Weijie and Qin Yuyuan know."
Uncle Jiang left with a final word of advice before departing in haste.
As Jiang Yilai watched the car drive away, her expression turned cold.
She must find out the truth about this!
Jiang Yilai messaged her friend, asking her to continue inquiring about Qin Yuyuan.
She then rushed to the Jiang Group.
