“Auntie, you…”
“Nobody move!”
Just as Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were about to step forward, Lin Yi stopped them.
Fan Shuxian grabbed Lin Yi’s clothes and sobbed.
“You were his team leader. Why didn’t you protect him well? We only have one
son. If he leaves, how am 1 going to live?!”
Lin Yi stood rooted to the ground like a tall pine tree.
If he could use this to let her vent her emotions, Lin Yi felt that it was worth it.
Fan Shuxian punched Lin Yi’s chest.
As a mother, she had lost her mind. It was impossible for someone who had never experienced the grief and indignation of losing her son to empathize with her.
“Alright, stop fooling around!”
Zhou Xicheng shouted coldly, “Help your aunt into the house. I’ll talk to these
people.”
“Got it, Uncle.”
Fan Shuxian was helped upstairs, and the first floor of the villa fell silent.
“I’m really sorry, Team Leader Lin. My wife lost her composure.”
“It’s okay. I’m responsible for this. Auntie has experienced the pain of losing her son. 1 can understand how she feels.”
“Team Leader Lin, if you say that, it will make in seem like our Zhou family doesn’t know the big picture.” Zhou Xicheng said.
“When my son joined the Central Guards Brigade, we knew what kind of place it was. When something happened during the mission, we could only say that we were unlucky and couldn’t blame anyone else. The situation on the battlefield changed. You’re not a god, so it’s impossible for you to take care of so many people. I understand all of this.
Just as the two of them were talking, Fan Jiayi came downstairs.
“How is your eldest aunt?” Zhou Xicheng asked him.
“She took a piece of Dailixin and is already asleep.
“Sigh…”
Zhou Xicheng shook his head with a sigh. She couldn’t keep relying on medication every day to maintain her emotional stability.
“Jiayi, we have guests. Go make a pot of tea.”
“Got it.”
Zhou Xicheng welcomed Lin Yi and the others to the sofa and said politely,
“Team Leader Lin, is there anything specific you need today? If so, just let me know. I’ll do my best to cooperate.”
“You’re overthinking it. We’re not here for anything specific. We mainly came to pay our respects to Zhou Liang and to see if there’s anything we can help with.”
“Thank you for your concern, Team Leader Lin. The family’s business is now managed by my nephew,” Zhou Xicheng said.
“Besides that, my niece is also involved. With the two of them, things are under control for now.”
“What are your plans for the company’s future?” Lin Yi asked.
“I don’t have any thoughts for the time being,” Zhou Xicheng said without hiding anything.
“I’m afraid I won’t be able to return to the company for the next year or so.”
“And what about the future?”
“Future…”
Zhou Xichang sighed. “We don’t know anything of the future yet. I’m not young anymore. If I still have the energy after a year or so, I might go back. But if 1 don’t have the energy, 1’11 take a back seat.
Lin Yi nodded. If Zhou Liang didn’t die, he wouldn’t have aged to this state. He could last at least another eight to ten years.
At that time, Zhou Liang could also make contributions and return to Chuansheng with all the honor and resources he had accumulated.
But now, the Zhou family’s plan had been completely disrupted.
After suffering such a huge blow, he probably did not have the energy to
persevere.
“Uncle, actually, I have some business matters to discuss with you,” Fan Jiayi said.
“What would that be?”
“Zhou Yuan has finalized a few projects in the past few days. I feel that there are some unreasonable points and want to ask your thoughts.
“Leave it for now. We’ll talk about it tomorrow.
“Got it.”
From Zhou Liang’s information, Lin Yi had some understanding of the Zhou family’s situation.
This person called Zhou Yuan was Zhou Liang’s cousin. He was two years older than him and had been studying in Meiguo. He had only returned last year.
The woman in front of him should be his cousin, Fan Jiayi.
Information on these family members was stated very clearly in Zhou Liang’s folder.
“Uncle Zhou, we came this time because we were afraid that someone would take advantage of the situation.” Lin Yi said.
-If you need anything when it comes to do, you must tell me. I don’t dare to say anything else, but 1 can still help the Zhou family reach another level.”
Another level!
Fan Jiayi was surprised to hear this.
How capable was his cousin’s superior to be able to do this?
“Thank you, Mr. Lin. You’re still thinking about our Zhou family at a time like this.”
“It’s my job.”
With that, Lin Yi stood up. “Since there’s nothing else happening for now, we’ll leave.”
“I’ll see you off.”
“Uncle Zhou, please don’t. We can walk on our own.”
After rejecting Zhou Xicheng’s good intentions, Lin Yi and Ning Che walked out, and Qiu Yuluo slowed down.
She chatted with Zhou Xicheng for a while.
It was mainly about Lin Yi’s identity. He didn’t want them to be exposed now.
After giving instructions, Qiu Yuluo followed him into the car.
“The Zhou family’s matter has been settled. What’s the next step?
“The woman sitting next to Zhou Xicheng was his niece, Fan Jiayi, right?” Lin
Yi said.
“Judging from their relationship, it should be the case.”
“She just said that the Zhou family’s company has a few projects that seem to be problematic. Can you contact her? Now that we’re here, if there’s really a problem, help her deal with it.” Lin Yi said.
“Zhou Liang is gone. We can’t just ignore his matters.”
“Consider it done.”
Ning Che looked at his watch. “I don’t think we’ll be able to leave today. Let’s find a hotel and settle our accommodation first. We’ll invite her out for dinner tonight and find out.”
“Sure.”
At four o’clock in the afternoon, the four of them checked into the Ritz-Carlton in Chengdu and invited Fan Jiayi to a Western restaurant. They wanted to talk to her about the Zhou family.
Fan Jiayi had a bold and confident personality, usually presenting herself with a strong, authoritative demeanor.
But when she saw Lin Yi and the other two, that confident demeanor vanished. Despite their amicable attitudes, their presence was overwhelming.
She felt like a monkey trapped under the Five Finger Mountain, completely uncomfortable.
-Don’t be nervous. We’re all comrades of your brother. We’re here to see what we can do for the Zhou family. Although we can’t bring him back to life, we can’t let the Zhou family fall into decline,” Qiu Yuluo said.
-My brother died in the line of duty. The government has already given us many benefits, and we can’t ask for more,” Fan Jiayi replied.
“This isn’t about the government, it’s from our personal perspective,” Qiu Yuluo explained.
“I’m the general manager of Zhonglian Group, she’s the general manager of Baolong Group, and this one is the chairman of Lingyun Group. We should be able to provide some support to your family’s business..
