I was flipping through the materials.
The Zhao Family's business was large, but it had always been firmly controlled by Old Master Zhao.
It wasn't until last year, after Old Master Zhao passed away, that the entire Zhao Family underwent tremendous changes.
Zhao Tian took over the company, while Zhao Di seemed to have disappeared.
Everything seemed coincidental, but in reality, someone was orchestrating it all.
Who could have such power to cause the vast Zhao Family to fall apart?
My finger stopped on that name.
Zhao Tian.
He was the eldest son of the Zhao Family, the heir to its fortune, and the person Old Master Zhao valued most during his lifetime.
He appeared gentle and refined, but in truth, he was deeply calculating.
I recalled his past kindness and attentiveness towards me, and a chill surged through my heart.
Suddenly, my phone rang.
It was Wanqing calling.
"Jinxuan, do you know? Last month at a party, I saw Zhao Tian and Zhao Di acting suspiciously. I vaguely heard them mention something about 'merging.' Do you think they might..."
A shiver ran down my spine.
Wanqing's words reminded me.
I had been overlooking the relationship between Zhao Tian and Zhao Di.
Although they were brothers, they were not on good terms.
Zhao Tian had been groomed by Old Master Zhao to inherit the family business, while Zhao Di had been left to his own devices.
Zhao Tian wanted to expand the business territory, while Zhao Di only wished to enjoy the existing wealth without a care in the world.
Therefore, if there were indeed conflicts between them, it must be related to Old Master Zhao's fortune.
"Wanqing, we need to investigate what they are really planning."
"Alright, Jinxuan, where shall we meet?"
"Late at night, at my villa."
I didn't want to raise any suspicions from the Zhao Family, so I had to choose to act discreetly at night.
Wanqing understood my intention and immediately agreed.
The rain had stopped.
Late at night.
I waited in the study for Wanqing's arrival.
"Jinxuan."
Wanqing was wearing a black trench coat and a cap, looking quite mysterious.
"Wanqing, you’re here."
I put down my book and walked towards her.
"Mm."
Wanqing nodded and took off her cap, revealing her delicate and beautiful face.
"Jinxuan, I think we need to be more cautious this time; we can't let the Zhao Family know we're investigating them."
"Yes, you're right."
I nodded in agreement.
"We must be more careful to ensure our safety."
Wanqing and I have known each other for many years; we've been friends since elementary school through college, and even after graduation, we opened a law firm together.
We've always shared everything, and this time was no different.
"Wanqing, have you found anything?"
Wanqing shook her head, looking somewhat dejected.
"I only found some trivial things; there’s nothing useful."
I frowned.
"It seems that the Zhao Family's influence is deeper than I imagined."
Wanqing nodded in agreement.
"Jinxuan, where should we start?"
"Since they have been active in business, let's begin by looking into the Zhao Family's business records from the past few years."
"Okay, I'll check right away."
Wanqing was always decisive and efficient; she immediately picked up her phone and began contacting various friends.
As for me, I returned to the office and found the phone numbers of a few former colleagues who had previously handled Zhao Family's affairs, intending to gather some information from them.
"Hello, is this Attorney Zhang? This is Lin Jinxuan; I would like to ask you a few questions."
"Oh, it's Lin Attorney! Hello, hello."
"Well, regarding the Zhao Family..."
Before I could finish my sentence, Attorney Zhang interrupted me.
"Lin Attorney, I've been quite busy lately and may not have time to help you."
"That's alright, I..."
"I'm sorry, Lin Attorney, but I have another case to handle. Let's talk next time."
Attorney Zhang hurriedly hung up the phone.
I listened to the busy tone on my phone, feeling a sense of heaviness in my heart.
