He waited there for a long time, until the sun went down, but the old man never came back.
Judging from the old woman's faded and somewhat tattered clothes, this tens of thousands of yuan must be very important to her. Besides, how could an ordinary person not love money?
So he was puzzled when the old man suddenly disappeared.
This money was a hot potato for him, so he was thinking of taking it to the police station.
If the elderly person returns and cannot find him, they should report it to the police, and the police can help return the money to the other party.
Just then, he received a phone call from his father.
His mother accidentally fell down the stairs while shopping and broke her leg.
His younger brother was ambushed by a group of thugs on his way home and was beaten black and blue.
He was worried about his mother and younger brother, so he chose to go home first.
As for the tens of thousands of yuan, he thought it was getting late and he could send it tomorrow.
Anyway, the old man had seen him before, and he was only helping to pick up the money, not trying to take it for himself. The old man should know that.
So he went home.
Fortunately, his mother's leg was not seriously injured. Her private doctor said she needed to rest for a month, and he would come back to remove the cast after a month.
As for his younger brother, he was more seriously injured and needed to come in every day to have his dressings changed.
Ji Lu was a rebellious teenager back then, and he often caused trouble at school, getting into fights with others.
He initially thought that it was his younger brother who had provoked others, which was why those people had sent gangsters to teach him a lesson.
But Ji Lu said that he had been obsessed with racing recently and hadn't caused any trouble. He didn't know those people at all and didn't know what was wrong with them. They suddenly blocked his way and asked him if he was Ji Lu. As soon as he nodded, they punched him.
Seeing this, he fought back, but he was alone while the other side had many people and weapons, which is why he was beaten so badly.
His mother also said that she felt someone pushed her from behind, which is why she lost her balance and fell down the stairs.
The connection between these two events made him realize that someone was deliberately targeting his family.
Coincidentally, Xingying had a drama airing at that time, which clashed with the rival company's drama. However, Xingying's drama was more popular and had higher viewership than the rival company's drama.
The boss of the rival company called his father at that time, ostensibly to congratulate him, but his words were loaded with hidden meaning. The implication was that his father should be careful and not be too happy too soon.
They naturally assumed that his mother's affair with Ji Lü was orchestrated by someone from a rival company.
His father was a henpecked husband who doted on his two sons. His wife was pushed down the stairs and broke her leg, and his younger son was beaten black and blue with a bleeding head. So that day, without investigating, his father called the rival boss and angrily berated him.
When the other party heard about his mother and Ji Lü's situation, he laughed loudly on the phone, saying that this was retribution for the Ji family.
This naturally led them to believe that it was the boss of the rival company who was behind it.
That night, both he and his father suffered from insomnia.
The next day, he took some time to go to the police station and handed the money over to the police.
At that time, the police said something like, "How can someone lose tens of thousands of yuan and not be in a hurry, but just disappear?"
At the time, he didn't take those words to heart. He just thought that the old man might have left in some emergency, just like when he heard that his mother and brother had an accident, his first thought was to rush home.
After that, he took leave from school and stayed home to keep an eye on his restless son, Ji Lu, while also spending time with his mother.
As for his father, he began to target the rival company relentlessly and compete with them.
During that period, whenever a rival company released a new drama, Xingying would also release one, trying to steal the show's popularity.
This was the first time he had ever seen his father so serious. Normally, his father wouldn't pursue things too much as long as they didn't cross the line, but the matter between Ji Lü and his mother had completely enraged his father.
Later, his mother's leg healed, his brother's injury was almost fully recovered, and the rival company was driven into bankruptcy.
But back then...
He got into trouble.
Suddenly, she had a nosebleed and fainted on the ground.
Then came endless treatments, examinations, and medications.
"Does Your Excellency mean there's something wrong with that money?" Ye You looked up, his gaze sharp, his hands clenched into fists.
The water glass on the table moved slightly because he was angry.
If there's something wrong with that money, then what about the time his mother and Ji Lü were injured...?
Perhaps it wasn't done by someone from the rival company!
The two people had an accident on the same day, after he bumped into the old man who had picked up the money...
It was as if they were preventing him from handing over the money.
So, the problem is with that money!
Little Yama also mentioned Jiang Yichen, which means...
This matter might be related to Jiang Yichen!
"Have you ever heard of buying one's life?" Jiang Yuan asked.
As expected of a night owl, he understood everything with just a slight hint from her.
Ye You paused for a moment, "Buy your life?"
Besides writing novels, he also enjoyed learning how to manage a company. During his university years, he gradually took over some of Xingying's work.
Of course, it's the most basic job.
His father wasn't foolish; he wouldn't hand over the company to him when he had absolutely no experience.
Unlike Ji Lü, who loved to play around and was reluctant to take over the company, he felt that it would be good to learn how to manage the company slowly and take over the company later.
After all, it's much better than many college graduates who send out resumes everywhere and are likely to be rejected.
In addition, he prefers to be the one giving orders rather than the one being ordered around.
