Chapter 938: Chapter 938 Tiegen’s Old Problem Acts Up

In the ward, Ma Dong wanted to speak, but Suizi wouldn’t allow it.

Hospitals are places with many people and loose lips, and one can never be sure that the walls don’t have ears that might be listening.

Now, in a private space with only family around, Ma Dong could finally reveal the intelligence he had obtained at great risk.

Ma Dong heard Li Tieguang mention a key term "Jade Factory" repeatedly during his conversation with the people in the room.

Ma Dong personally heard Li Tieguang say that once this job was done, he would make Yu Jingting go in for a steamed bun, and that would avenge the Jade Factory.

Suizi glanced at Yu Jingting, who also looked puzzled. The couple had thought of various possibilities, but they hadn’t considered this one.

The Yu Family did have a Jade Factory at present, which was registered under the name of Wang Cuihua.

Siyè used this factory as bait, in collaboration with the overseas Mr. Hu, to strike at competitors.

They were still in the "fishing" stage of the operation, and the collaboration with the overseas party was going exceptionally well. They were still in the honeymoon phase, and the other party didn’t realize that this was a trap set by Siyè. They thought the Jade Factory was an easy mark.

Upon hearing Ma Dong mention the Jade Factory, Suizi’s first reaction was to wonder whether the overseas party had found out that Siyè was the real owner behind the Jade Factory and this was their way of seeking revenge?

But that didn’t make sense either.

If it was revenge against Siyè, then they should have targeted Siyè directly.

Why would they target Siyè’s son and daughter-in-law, and daughter?

"Dongdong, think carefully, did he say anything else?" Suizi was looking for any clue.

"Well, Li Tieguang told that person to fake a seal and deceive Dad into signing a contract, which would then trap him in some way. I didn’t quite understand it," Ma Dong said.

Suizi understood this part. The other party wanted to accuse Yu Jingting of illegal operations using the account books, aiming to get Yu Jingting sent away.

This was obviously a fool’s dream.

Suizi conducted business willing to accept less profit, but everything had to be done by the book, with complete paperwork, from bank transfers to import documents. Even if scrutinized, nothing incriminating could be found.

Moreover, what the others had obtained were account books faked by the children—realizing this, Suizi’s mind split in thought.

Teaching the children calligraphy from a young age was absolutely necessary, as it turned out to be pivotal at this moment.

"Think again, did he say anything else, even if he was talking to himself, that’s also fine," Suizi pressed on.

Trying to think made Ma Dong’s head hurt, and he was much slower than usual, but after a while, he remembered something.

"I’ve got it. After the person who called him Boss Li left, he muttered to himself, saying Xiaomei, I’ve hugged you long enough. I was wondering, how stinky must he be to make someone else stink?"

Ma Dong didn’t have the chance to continue listening, as he was afraid of getting caught and hurried to leave, which resulted in him getting injured.

"Could it be possible that he was talking about revenge?" Suizi felt that this "Xiaomei" might be a point of entry.

But with only a nickname to go by, looking for her would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. Besides, Li Tieguang spoke with an accent, so this "Mei" might also represent another character, which made it impossible to start an investigation.

After returning and discussing the matter with Siyè, he was completely baffled as well.

He was willing to bet that the Zhou family overseas hadn’t discovered it.

Mr. Hu’s rival was the Zhou family, and Siyè’s purpose for starting the Jade Factory was also to deal with this Zhou family. They had cooperated several times with great success, and just yesterday, the Jade Factory had called to say they had acquired a batch of materials from the Zhou family, which was very good.

The Jade Factory originally made rough jade ornaments—particularly crude ones.

After acquiring the factory, Master didn’t expect it to make money, he just wanted to play at the fishing game. After hearing Suizi’s suggestion, he switched to making small jade carvings for export.

The first batch of finished products came out, and Jinnan helped contact jewelry stores in Hong Kong, and they all sold out, with a pretty good profit.

Master had just received the news and hadn’t had the chance to share it with his son and daughter-in-law. The profit exceeded his imagination, and orders were booked until the end of the year. If it were not for the shortage of master artisans in the factory, they could have taken on more.

This was Suizi and her husband’s ability to integrate resources. Suizi made the plan, and Yu Jingting went to contact all the relevant parties, ultimately facilitating the whole thing.

Before Suizi and her husband returned home, Master was pondering that this was an unexpected success like planting trees without intending to create shade. He had never thought to make money from the near-bankrupt Jade Factory, but his two overly ambitious children had revitalized it.

Before he could share his joy, the Li Tieguang incident occurred, which also confused Master.

He hadn’t inquired closely about the factory, and he couldn’t even remember all the personnel, let alone someone called Xiaomei, whom he had never heard of.

"We should start with Li Tieguang’s personal relationships to investigate this matter. Check who he has around him, especially focus on investigating his girlfriend, and see if there is someone named Xiaomei," said Yu Jingting.

"Didn’t we investigate Li Tieguang before? His family isn’t local; they moved here not many years ago. The neighbors don’t know much about them," Suizi mentioned.

Ever since Suizi learned there was a problem with Li Tieguang, she had Chen He thoroughly investigate Li Tieguang’s background, but there was limited information available.

Yu Jingting squinted his eyes thinking, then suddenly chuckled mischievously.

"What kind of mischief are you up to?" Master knew from the way his son was acting that he was up to no good.

"Wife, call Li Tieguang’s mistress in the middle of the night. Don’t use our home phone. We’ll find an untraceable place to call from. You pretend to be Xiaomei and spook her, see if she knows anything."

Suizi’s eyes lit up, that was just like him, a nice move.

"Hmm? Then we’ll go to Liu Xi’s place."

Phone installation wasn’t cheap at that time, and most people wouldn’t have one. Suizi immediately thought of Liu Xi.

Liu Xi was nominally Chen Lijun’s sister-in-law. She married Fan Hui’s good-for-nothing brother, Fan Huang, and their marriage existed in name only, as they were practically estranged.

Liu Xi had a good relationship with Suizi. When Suizi thought about making a late-night phone call, Liu Xi immediately came to mind.

Suizi called Liu Xi and believed that, based on their relationship, it should be easy to make the arrangements.

Unexpectedly, when Liu Xi heard Suizi’s request, she hesitated and was not inclined to agree.

"Are you in some kind of trouble—could it be Kun Zi at your place? No worries, I’m not an outsider. We’re just making a call. It won’t interrupt your intimate moments."

Suizi said with understanding.

Liu Xi and her husband were practically living separate lives, with a marriage that was only in name due to arranged family ties. They had long been doing their own thing separately.

The Kun Zi that Suizi mentioned was Liu Xi’s boyfriend. She even had a child with Fan Kun.

"I’m with Kun Zi right now, but not at my place. Suizi, it’s not that I’m stingy with my house, but... my place has been haunted recently, and I am too scared to stay there. If it was daytime, I’d give you the keys, but at night, it’s really not safe. Why don’t you come to Fan Kun’s? He also has a phone," Liu Xi explained.

"Haunted?!" Suizi was taken aback.

She was now busy dealing with Li Tieguang’s situation and didn’t want any additional complications. Just as she was about to suggest going to Fan Kun’s, Yu Jingting who was beside her casually took the phone.

"Auntie Xi, are you interested in an exorcism service? 250 per session," he said.

Suizi rolled her eyes in irritation, wishing he could change his habit of enjoying the spectacle without considering the consequences!
