A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

Jiang Wenli arranged for someone to investigate the investment fund led by Ye Xuan.

The next day, the person who was sent out returned with a reply.

"We found out. There are indeed problems with Tengfei Group. The flow of funds in the special fund under Ye Xuan's name is very complicated. On the surface, they are all normal purchases, but in reality, many funds have flowed overseas through offshore shell companies."

The man opened the file folder, pointed to one of the pages, and continued, "The largest transaction was a 20 million yuan purchase of audio-visual equipment, which was transferred to a small import and export trading company called 'Little Rizi.' We've been eyeing this company for a long time."

Jiang Wenli asked, "Is there a more specific indication?"

"At present, the only confirmed issue is the unusual flow of funds. Whether it is money laundering or something else, we will need more time to determine. However, I have already had people monitoring the movement of the funds."

"Continue the investigation. Report back to me immediately if you make any new discoveries." Jiang Wenli paused, then asked, "What other moves has he made recently?"

The other party turned to the last few pages of the document: "There is another matter. Ye Xuan has recently been transferring funds through the stock market. He has used some institutional accounts to buy a large amount of funds in several stocks with high trading volume and high liquidity."

"What did he do with the money in the stock market?"

"We haven't found out his real purpose yet, but based on past experience, his next step may be to establish hedging positions in overseas markets."

Is the news reliable?

"We only found that his funds flowed into the stock market. The rest is just our judgment based on past experience, and there is no substantial evidence."

Jiang Wenli asked again, "In your judgment, what is the ratio between the amount of funds transferred and the time frame in this operation?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, this round of operations could transfer hundreds of millions of yuan within three days at the fastest."

Jiang Wenli didn't ask any more questions. He picked up the landline on the table, dialed a number, and said into the receiver, "Stop that investment fund that Tengfei is running immediately."

The staff member on the other end of the phone seemed to want to confirm: "Director Jiang, should all fund flows be stopped, or just in specific directions?"

"Stop everything."

The person on the other end of the phone responded with a "yes," then hung up without saying anything more.

Soon, the regulatory authorities notified Ye Sicheng.

Upon hearing the news, Ye Sicheng's first reaction was that the other party had made a mistake.

So he picked up the phone and called the finance manager in charge of liaising with investment funds within the company.

The other party stammered and couldn't give a clear answer.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Sicheng called the regulatory authorities.

The other party said something that sent a chill down Ye Sicheng's spine: "Old Ye, don't ask about this. It was stopped directly from above. We don't know the specific reasons either."

After hanging up, Ye Sicheng called Ye Xuan again.

After all, he had always been in charge of this matter.

As soon as the call connected, Ye Sicheng asked directly, "What's going on your end? The investment fund's account has been frozen. They say they need to investigate it because of asset transfer."

Ye Xuan asked in surprise, "Frozen? When did that happen?"

"Just now, do you know what happened?"

Ye Xuan forced himself to remain calm and said, "It's probably a mistake on the assistant's end. I've been busy with other things and haven't had time to deal with this yet. I'll go and ask about the specifics first."

"Since it's your assistant who's handling this, don't alert them. Go back to the company, and I'll have someone call the relevant department over for in-person verification."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

……

Just as I hung up the phone, Yuji Honda called.

"Ye Xuanjun, we're being watched, and that money can't be transferred out for the time being."

Ye Xuan said, "I've also received the news. Can you find out the specific reason?"

"I don't know. The reason they gave was very direct, with no room for negotiation. I had someone inquire internally, and they said it was an order directly from above. My people don't know what's going on either."

Ye Xuan immediately realized that the situation was not good, because not only were the investment funds frozen, but the funds operated by Honda Yuji were also controlled.

This makes the problem serious.

Ye Xuan believed that if his identity were exposed at this time, the Ye family would not only not protect him, but would also kick him while he was down.

Thinking about this, he felt he had to leave immediately.

Otherwise, you won't be able to leave even if you want to.

He was worried that it was no longer safe to go abroad through conventional means at this point, so he said, "Honda-kun, please arrange a way for me to leave the country immediately."

Honda Yuji asked, "You've been targeted too? With your Ye family's background, it shouldn't have come to this. Just arrange for someone to take the blame."

"I can't explain it to you in a few words. First, arrange a way for me to go abroad, and then we can discuss it further."

When are you planning to leave?

"Immediately, right now."

Honda Yuji believed that Ye Xuan's decision was arranged by the Ye family to let him go out and avoid the limelight.

So Honda Yuji agreed, "Okay, come to Tsu-gang Port, and I'll arrange for someone to pick you up."

……

Ye Xuan hung up the phone and got into the car.

He felt he had already planned his escape route, but he still felt something was missing.

He knew that the truth would eventually come out.

So he decided to go all the way and prepare additional insurance for his escape plan.

He picked up his phone, found Ye Yao's number, and pressed the dial button.

"Sis, there's been a problem with that batch of audio and video equipment. It's at the Tianjin Port. I have no experience handling these kinds of things. Could you come with me?"

Ye Yao said, "You can just arrange for someone from the company to do this. There's no need for you to make the trip yourself."

Ye Xuan said sincerely, "I also want to familiarize myself with the process so that I'll know how to handle similar problems in the future."

"Okay, where are you? I'm coming over."

"I'll come pick you up."

……

After the two met, Ye Yao got into Ye Xuan's car, which drove straight onto the expressway leading to Tianjin Port.

Ye Yao leaned back in the passenger seat and casually said, "Everyone has seen your recent performance. As long as you keep it up, I won't fight you for company matters. What's yours will still be yours."

Ye Xuan scoffed inwardly, but said aloud, "I will continue to work hard."

The two chatted casually.

Ye Yao's nose was a little stuffy, and she wanted to find a tissue to wipe it, so she casually lifted the center armrest box.

Inside the box lay a file bag, not sealed, with a corner of the paper inside sticking out.

She pulled it out, opened it, and glanced at it.

Then I saw two paternity test reports.

One document states that biological parentage is excluded.

Another document states that a biological parent-child relationship exists.

Ye Yao waved the document around and asked, "What's going on here?"

Ye Xuan suddenly became anxious and roared, "Give it to me!"

Ye Yao was startled by his reaction, but quickly regained her composure: "Calm down, explain yourself clearly..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Xuan leaned over and snatched the document.
