Chapter 244 - 104 Play Bluff_2
Ye Minghui spoke with a pained heart, yet his words weren’t entirely without reason. Tang Fan said, "We, the heads of the weaving department, will try to tell the people the truth..." He himself felt that his words were forced. Even if the officials from the weaving department spoke out, the Ye Family’s Ancient Fragrance Satin business could no longer continue, and Ancient Fragrance Satin was the Ye Family’s main business. With this development, the Ye Family’s vitality was greatly damaged.
"Uncle Minghui," Jiang Li began, "investigating this case is not the duty of the weaving department. To find out who is behind all this, we must rely on Tong Zhifu. We should entrust this matter entirely to Tong Zhifu to investigate. If even Tong Zhifu cannot find out, then we continue to report it up the chain, level by level, and if even Yanjing’s Mayor cannot find out, we’ll think of a way. It’s not impossible for me to ask my father to enter the palace and seek an audience with the Emperor, we will always find a solution."
Her tone was nonchalant, but Tang Fan listened with a racing heart, pondering to himself that it seemed Tong Zhiyang’s days as mayor might be numbered. It was fortunate that he had sided with the Jiang Family from the start. Otherwise, with Miss Jiang the Second’s meticulous nature, the aftermath investigation could prove to be difficult to predict.
As he thought this, Tang Fan dared not neglect his duties and proceeded to explain to Jiang Li in detail the next steps to be taken before departing.
After Tang Fan left, Ye Rufeng couldn’t help but speak up, "The people from Dafeng Medical Shop bear us no grudges, so why would someone use them as a pawn to trip up our Ye Family?"
"Men die for wealth, as birds die for food," Ye Mingxuan taught his son, "Since they willingly became pawns, they were either bought or threatened. If the officials from the weaving department hadn’t intervened, the Ye Family would have been facing a dead end. Stepping over others’ blood to survive always comes with a price. Look, a well-running medical shop, now it’s lost everything."
Since the people involved had died, pursuing it further was futile, and Ye Mingxuan felt very disheartened.
"But at least it serves as a warning to us, doesn’t it?" Jiang Li said with a smile.
