Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Find that girl for me_1

At nine in the morning, in Jiangling City, on the thirty-third floor of the Hilton Hotel, the presidential suite.

Cheng Wanfeng had just seen off his girlfriend from the previous night and was now taking a shower in the bathroom.

Ding-ling-ling...

Suddenly, the mobile phone on the vanity started ringing.

"Uncle, it’s me."

Recognizing the caller ID, Cheng Wanfeng immediately assumed a respectful tone, "Yes, I went to the Luo Family Villa the night before last. That mysterious Mr. Mo did not show up, only Ling Yuzhu was present."

"I’ve inquired about the partnership project in the East City business district. Ling Yuzhu does not want companies from other provinces to participate."

After listening to Cheng Wanfeng’s report, the person on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, then spoke, "Tian Sheng Group is a tough nut to crack, it can’t be taken down all at once. Take it slow!"

"By the way, what about the investigation you were conducting? Did Xiao Wei really crash his car into a utility pole by himself?"

Cheng Wanfeng reported truthfully, "According to the police investigation and witness testimonies at the scene, Xiao Wei indeed lost control of his emotions and drove into the utility pole."

Cheng Wanfeng had come to Jiangling City from Jiangnan for two purposes: to explore a business street project development in cooperation in the East City, and to investigate the cause behind his cousin Cheng Wei’s accident.

There was a long sigh from the other end of the phone, the voice tinged with sadness, "It’s all my fault for not disciplining him enough. If only Xiao Wei were as obedient as you..."

Cheng Wanfeng ventured, "Uncle, how is Xiao Wei doing now? Has he woken up?"

"Not yet..." The uncle’s tone turned noticeably gloomy, "The situation is not very optimistic. He has comminuted fractures in both legs and will probably not be able to stand up again."

Upon hearing this, a look of joy spread across Cheng Wanfeng’s face. His great-uncle Cheng Debiao was the Cheng Family Head, but Cheng Wei was his only son. By right, the Cheng Family’s leadership should be inherited by Cheng Wei. However, if Cheng Wei turned out to be incapacitated, that succession might be up for debate.

His eyes spinning with craftiness, he said, "Uncle, there’s something I’d like to report to you."

"Wang Kun just sent me a message saying that Xiao Wei crashed his car into a utility pole because he was distraught over being rejected by a female student named Su Xiaolei and also disturbed by the repeated interference of a strange man."

"What?" Cheng Debiao’s voice rose sharply with anger, "Such important news, why are you only telling me now?"

Cheng Wanfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied, "Uncle, I’ve also just received the news."

Cheng Debiao barked, "Find them! At any cost, find them for me!"

"If you handle this well, I won’t let you down!"

Feigning solemnity, Cheng Wanfeng said, "Uncle, what are you talking about? Xiao Wei is my brother, how can I not take his affairs to heart? Just wait for the good news from me!"

Cheng Debiao sighed genuinely, "Good boy, if only Xiao Wei were half as obedient as you."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Wanfeng jumped up excitedly, dancing and waving his hands in the air.

After indulging in his excitement for a full ten minutes, he read Wang Kun’s message again.

"Su Xiaolei, nineteen years old, a sophomore at the School of Economics and Management at Jiangling University..."

...

Elsewhere, Luo Ning had gone to the company early in the morning.

She was brimming with energy these days, waking up before six every morning, eager to devote all her energy to the project.

As usual, after dropping her daughter off at kindergarten, Mo Han went to the market to buy groceries for lunch.

While he was haggling over the price of fish with Aunt Wang, his mother-in-law Yang Meifeng suddenly called.

"Mo Han, I’m giving you ten minutes to get to AoXiang Investment Company next to Jiangling University! If you’re not here in ten minutes, don’t even think about coming home today!"

With that, she hung up the phone.

Mo Han shook his head reluctantly, took the freshly-killed carp from Aunt Wang, and hurried over.

The market wasn’t far from Jiangling University, so it took only a few minutes to get there by electric scooter.

Upon reaching the entrance of AoXiang Investment Company, Mo Han was stunned.

Outside the door had gathered twenty or thirty aunties and uncles, protesting vehemently and shouting, "Give us back our hard-earned money!"

And there was Yang Meifeng, standing right at the center spot.

Carrying his vegetables and fish, Mo Han squeezed in and sheepishly smiled, "Mom, what’s going on here?"

"Go to hell with your questions, just chant ’give back our money’ with us. No way, I need a drink, I’m dying of thirst," Yang Meifeng snorted coldly, taking several gulps from a bottle of water.

Mo Han forced an awkward smile, made small talk with two uncles beside him, and gradually understood the situation.

Turns out, AoXiang Investment Company was involved in overseas property investment schemes.

They claimed that with an investment of 500,000 yuan, one could receive a monthly interest of 20,000 yuan, with the principal being returned after a year.

Yang Meifeng and these aunties and uncles, attracted by the high rate of return, signed contracts and invested their money.

They were supposed to receive interest yesterday, but the company said there was a problem with the capital flow, asking them to wait.

Not being fools, these aunties and uncles came to the company early today to check up and found only a few scattered people in the office, a clear sign of flight.

Mo Han asked, "Mom, how much did you invest? If it’s not much, I might be able to..."

Currently not short on cash, he wouldn’t mind covering this shortfall for his mother-in-law if it was just a small amount.

"Go away! What can your few hundred do!" Yang Meifeng looked down on Mo Han contemptuously, regretfully slapping her thigh, "It’s all because of my greed—my entire savings of one and a half million, gone, all gone!"

"What? One and a half million?"

Mo Han was both shocked and angry—when Chen Chen was ill and needed 300,000 for hospital expenses, Yang Meifeng had refused to contribute a penny, yet now she had readily invested one and a half million.

Sensing the anger in Mo Han’s eyes, Yang Meifeng glared fiercely at him, "What are you yelling for? Is that money yours? That’s the money Shan Chuan and I saved for our own coffins!"

"If you weren’t such a good-for-nothing, always loafing around at home and running through our savings, would I have thought to invest all our coffin money!"
