Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yuan Xuan was still feeling uneasy, so he sent Yan Jun to City C to investigate.
It turned out that it was as what she had claimed. Her foster father had committed murder due to gambling, and both mother and daughter were hunted down by the enemies.
Fortunately, the gambling father still had a conscience. Before committing the crime, he had used his identity as a doctor to find a heart donor for Zhao Ruoxin.
The family of a young man who was involved in an accident was willing to donate his remains, and his heart so happened to be a fit for Zhao Ruoxin!
“Third Young Master, there’s basically nothing suspicious.”
Yan Jun noticed that Yuan Xuan’s solemn expression as he flipped through the dossier over and over again. It was as if there was still something he could not figure out.
“How did Old Mistress get hold of news about Zhao Ruoxin?”
Yuan Xuan raised his eyebrows. Regarding the sudden descent of Zhao Ruoxin from the sky, he had been taking a cautious stance all this while.
However, he could not directly ask Old Mistress. Yuan Xuan was extremely familiar with his grandmother’s temper. Having been pampered since young, she was autocratic in the way she handled matters.
That day when she was opposed to letting Zhao Ruoxin stay here, Old Mistress was already extremely displeased. If he were to raise further questions, it would arouse her aversion.
“Didn’t Old Mistress go to the Tang Guan Temple to pray a few days before the banquet? Zhao Yanni went to the temple from the nearby civilian area and had disturbed Old Mistress.
“Is that woman mad?”
Yuan Xuan coldly remarked, his volatile gaze was chilly. Years of grappling with his enemies had cultivated in him a deep-seated distrust for everyone.
“She is mad. It’s exactly because of that she ran about wildly, and from what the temple abbot had mentioned, this woman would always go there to steal the food offerings. Since she was mentally deranged, no one bothered to make a report. Then, it so happened that she met Old Mistress that day she went there again. Old Mistress recognized that she’s Zhao Yanni and found out about Miss Zhao.”
Yan Jun had investigated thoroughly and even inquired the neighbors staying around Zhao Yanni and Zhao Ruoxin, confirming that Zhao Yanni was indeed suffering from a mental disorder.
“Where’s Zhao Yanni staying now?”
Yuan Xuan’s deep voice was exceptionally calm.
“Old Mistress has arranged for her to be admitted into Zong He Psychiatric Sanatorium…” Yan Jun suddenly felt that something was amiss. He quietly asked, “Young Master, if you’re in doubt, should we move Ye Kun out of there?”
Yuan Xuan motioned with his hand. “No need. At least Zong He was in his territory!
“Since Old Mistress has made the arrangement, it shouldn’t be a big issue.” “The information Ye Kun provided to us has been utilized completely at the moment.” “Have the men at Zong He to take note and safeguard him.”
Yan Jun accepted the command. Ye Kun was Yuan Tangbai’s personal bodyguard. When Yuan Xuan was 15, he had rescued Ye Kun by chance, who was being hunted down at that time.
To Yuan Xuan, Ye Kun was a person of unusual significance and someone he respected like a father…
Now, Zhao Ruoxin and Zhao Yanni, these two women of unknown origin, though appeared to be simple, had managed to enter the Yuan Family that easily and even got close to where Ye Kun was residing. There were some aspects that he just could not figure out!
“About the heart transplant, even if it was free from the donor, the surgery and post-operation treatments would still cost hundreds of thousands. How and where did the Zhao mother and daughter acquire such a huge amount?” Yuan Xuan continued to question.
Yan Jun was stunned. After investigating so much, this question did not occur to him at all!
He felt ashamed for failing to carry out his duties.
Yan Jun had been following by Yuan Xuan’s side for years. The trio of Kang Yu, Tian Qi and him had their respective roles.
Kang Yu, a graduate from the University of California, was hired by Yuan Xuan and became his office and administrative personnel. He was involved in most of the company matters and could be seen as Yuan Xuan’s right-hand man.
Yan Jun was responsible for Yuan Xuan’s various private network and connections, investigating and reporting and mediating every party. He was also Yuan Xuan’s close aide.
Tian Qi, on the other hand, was a unique existence presented to Yuan Xuan by Shao Yibai. Due to committing a minor offense, he had opted to retire from being the leader of special forces. He was skillful and competent with a straight and one-track mind and his greatest strength was loyalty.
Under normal circumstances, Yuan Xuan would not have Tian Qi appear in public. However, once Yuan Qi showed up, the other party would either die or be injured severely…
Yuan Xuan treated them very well and they were all remunerated handsomely.
However, this had developed in him the mentality of being ignorant of human suffering, forgetting that money was a hard currency to the common people!
“Young Master, are you suspecting that someone has Miss Zhao’s back?”
