Chapter 21: Finally, a Lead

Page 1 of 3
Shen Mengxia had been living under a regime of high-intensity study and training for some time. Like a tightly wound spring, she moved through her days in a state of constant, breathless tension, never daring to pause for even a moment.

Today, however, she finally enjoyed a rare holiday. Seizing the opportunity, the three of them were finally able to gather together.

Fu Yanchen and Jiang Zeyu had arrived at Jiang Zeyu’s home early to compare notes, exchanging the information they had gathered and discussing their investigative strategies. The two men went back and forth—sometimes debating fiercely, other times nodding in agreement—the atmosphere crackling with intensity.

Shen Mengxia sat quietly to the side, looking like an obedient little rabbit, listening to their discussion with complete focus. Although she did not participate much in the conversation, her concentrated expression made it clear that she was diligently absorbing their valuable insights and experiences.

During this period, Fu Yanchen and Jiang Zeyu had utilized every resource and connection at their disposal, leaving no stone unturned and sparing no effort in their investigation. Finally, their hard work paid off, and they uncovered several critical clues.

It turned out that the Fu family, a prominent and prestigious clan in the country, possessed significant economic influence. Their business empire spanned numerous sectors, but the core of their power—and their most dominant position—lay within the banking industry.

Relying on years of accumulated expertise and formidable strength in the financial sector, the Fu family had long held a pivotal position in the domestic banking world. However, a mysterious foreign family had set their sights on the domestic market, specifically targeting the banking interests controlled by the Fu family.

This foreign power was well-funded and highly sophisticated; their intentions were clearly malicious. Fu Yanchen suspected that what Shen Mengxia had overheard in the hidden room at the engagement party hotel was directly related to this foreign faction. If other families within the local circle were involved, they were likely being used as pawns by this foreign entity. Currently, information on this group was too scarce, and it would require Jiang Zeyu to find a way to dig deeper.

"If we follow your logic, it is likely this mysterious foreign family targeting the Fu family. But then, why are they so fixated on Miss Shen?" Jiang Zeyu asked, always capable of cutting straight to the heart of the matter.

"That is a question I must entrust to you, Officer Jiang. This is all I have been able to uncover so far."

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Zeyu said, "Perhaps there is something about Miss Shen that we are not yet aware of—something that threatens their plans." Fu Yanchen’s eyes grew stern. "Regardless, we must ensure her protection."

"Also, Miss Shen has never mentioned having a sister during all her years with the Fu family. How did this sister suddenly appear out of nowhere? As for this sister, it seems Miss Shen only heard her grandfather mention her in passing once." Jiang Zeyu consistently felt that this sister, Shen Mengqing, was suspicious.

"Miss Shen once told me she suspected Qiao Wanwan, but she felt that Qiao Wanwan alone wasn't capable of pulling this off. After all, no matter how intense their rivalry or conflict, it ultimately boiled down to jealousy over a man. How could that possibly involve the vital interests of a family as significant as the Fu family? There must be hidden motives here that we don't know about!" Jiang Zeyu continued his analysis.

"It’s getting more and more intriguing. Is this a battle between wealthy dynasties?"

"Jiang Zeyu is truly a veteran detective; his intuition is sharp."

"I also think the sister is suspicious."

"Big Brother is amazing, finding clues so quickly."

"Jiang Zeyu just talks; it was President Fu who did the actual investigation."

"This sister is definitely problematic. Could her appearance be a case of a fake heiress?"

"Why would they want to hurt our little rabbit just to get to the Fu family?"

"Xiaxia really does look like a little rabbit."

The live-stream comments were acting up again, causing Shen Mengxia to pout in annoyance.
