"Young master, one must always be wary of others. In the future, when you do things or hire people, you must think things through carefully."

"You...you're right. I didn't think it through." Ye Xinglu lowered his head in shame. He realized that he had indeed relied too much on the system, always thinking that he could see the loyalty of the relevant personnel, without considering the interests involved.

At the same time, Dr. Han's words also reminded him that the system he was bound to was ultimately just an auxiliary system, and it couldn't completely lock his loyalty.

The loyalty of those who are currently loyal may fluctuate over time and due to various temptations.

This capable lieutenant at this time may very well turn against you in the future.

Therefore, no matter what you want to do in your business, you must ensure that the most core secrets are kept in your own hands!

"Host, stop keeping me in suspense! Where did you find this talent? Why don't I know?" The fluffy dumpling looked helpless as she held the script, which was still being updated.

All it remembers is that the original plot was full of Mary Sue-style mindless romance and pretentious face-slapping, where were the reliable top talents?

Chapter Twenty-Two: Investigation and Bold Speculation

Jiang Chen handed him a slip of paper with an address and phone number on it, but no name was written on it.

"What is this?" Ye Xinglu was even more confused. "My relative's home address? That's strange, why didn't I know I had any relatives in Hengzhou?"

"This is also a secret that I discovered by accident."

The news you are about to hear is very important. I hope you will listen carefully and remember it well, young master. I will not repeat it a second time.

Since I took over as the Ye family's doctor, the infighting and power struggles among various factions have been a real headache. In order to do my job well without being manipulated or giving anyone leverage against me, I must ensure that I have a thorough understanding of these relationships.

So, while navigating the complexities of the situation and understanding the interests of all parties, I discovered that there seemed to be some doubts surrounding Madam Ye's unexpected death.

"What did you say?!" Ye Xingluo was filled with rage and was about to explode at the mention of her deceased mother!

My tragic beginning was the unexpected death of my mother.

Although I was young when my mother passed away, her every smile and frown is deeply etched in my mind. I have survived countless lonely and helpless nights by recalling the warmth of my mother's past.

For so many years, he had believed that his mother had really died in an accident.

At this moment, Dr. Han suddenly mentioned that there were questions about her death. How could Ye Xingluo possibly remain calm?

"Don't rush, let me explain slowly." Jiang Chen gestured for him to sit down, and then sorted out his thoughts to explain the strange things the original owner had discovered one by one. "I only had suspicions. After all, Madam Ye died in a car accident, and the whole thing happened outside the Ye family. My father was the family doctor at the time and was only responsible for the aftermath."

She was out of town on business and drove all night to make it to your birthday party the next day. She died in a car accident due to fatigue, right?

Ye Xinglu nodded to indicate his agreement.

This matter had always been his nightmare, and he knew the ins and outs of it all too well.

The mother drove herself because the assistant had to stay behind to finish up the work, and the driver suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized for medication. The doctor advised him not to drive for a week to avoid any danger caused by the medication.

At the time, I was away from home and there was a severe shortage of manpower around me. There were very few people who could drive, and my mother was anxious to come back.

At that time, transportation was not very convenient, and it was unreliable to find a driver on the spot, so she drove back to Beijing by herself late at night.

My maternal grandparents also made arrangements, and investigations from all sides indicated that my mother's death was an accident. She was seriously injured, but because there were few people on the road late at night, the best rescue time was delayed, and my mother died in a small hospital nearby.

Ye Xingluo still remembers being woken up from a sweet dream of looking forward to her birthday party, and then, in a daze, taking a long car ride to reach the small, run-down hospital to see her mother for the last time.

She couldn't even speak at the time; clutching her own hands, her eyes filled with tears, she finally breathed her last.

"Dr. Han, have you noticed anything amiss?" he asked, his voice trembling slightly as he tried to suppress his anger.

Jiang Chen shook his head. "Given my father's character, if he discovers anything suspicious, he will point it out on the spot and will never cover it up for anyone. When I was sorting out the relationships between the people, I noticed a detail."

Before her accident, Mrs. Ye received a phone call from Mr. Ye.

"Everyone knows about this. My father has explained it. He was just worried that it would be unsafe for my mother to travel alone to Beijing late at night, so he wanted to persuade her to stay overnight nearby and then head back the next day."

The entire call lasted less than two minutes, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?

"The exact content of the call is naturally impossible to find out. Madam Ye did not leave any last words before her death, so the content was up to Mr. Ye to decide."

Jiang Chen lowered his voice and reminded him, "But as far as I know, Mr. Ye was with Yang Yingying that night, and the two stayed at a villa by the Shangshan River."

Imagine, he knew his wife was on her way home, yet he still dared to spend the night with his lover so openly.

Before things have completely broken down, surely no one would be this arrogant?

Ye Xingluo's expression froze instantly. "Unless... he knew my mother wasn't coming back! Could it be that he did something?"

"At the time, the police also investigated and confirmed that Mrs. Ye's driver had been hospitalized due to a sudden illness."

The vehicle was partially burned due to the force of the impact, and with the technology available at the time, it was impossible to detect whether there had been any tampering. After the case was closed, the vehicle was destroyed, and all the evidence was lost.

After the driver was ruled out as a suspect, no one paid any more attention to his situation.

The information I found out at great expense was that the driver left the Ye Group three years later and returned to his hometown in the mountain city, where he bought ten apartments in a high-end residential area.

Less than a month later, the driver died suddenly.

These clues, when put together, inevitably raise suspicion. Even if Mrs. Ye's former personal driver had a higher salary, he couldn't have earned this much money, could he?

If he didn't earn it through his own abilities, where did his enormous wealth come from?

Why did he suddenly die after his extravagant spending?

Unfortunately, your maternal grandparents had already passed away by then, and no one investigated further.

Furthermore, Mrs. Ye was isolated and helpless after the car accident. Fortunately, she was spotted by a passing delivery truck, and the driver helped take her to the hospital. From her admission to the time you arrived to see her one last time, quite a bit of time had passed.

The driver who rescued her gave a statement saying that your mother was bleeding a lot but was conscious, and that the two even talked.

Given the length of the rescue operation, it's impossible that your mother, with her intelligence, didn't leave behind some words.

But the driver only said that he was busy saving people at the time and didn't talk much with her or remember her saying anything special. The medical staff of the private hospital gave the same answer.

In the years that followed, these people gradually disappeared as if they had vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.

Truck drivers are somewhat understandable, since they are unemployed and their livelihoods are uncertain. But medical staff are different; they are workers in a fixed field, and even if they resign from private hospitals, most will find stable employment.

Why did all those who had contact with Madam Ye before her death disappear without a trace?

Either they're dead or the trail has gone cold and they can't be found?"

Ye Xingluo's head was buzzing as she listened, "What if... what if the driver was bribed to get into the hospital and tamper with the car?"

When the night was deep and quiet, Ye Zhong made the call at the right time. With Yang Yingying's words provoking him, his mother, with her fiery temper, would definitely want to rush back and wipe out those two shameless scumbags!

The car had been tampered with, and she lost her mind and accelerated wildly…

He gasped for breath, covering his face with his hands, as if he could already "see" the scene in his mind.

"To speculate even more boldly: perhaps according to the original plan, the car should have exploded and burned after the violent impact."

Jiang Chen placed his hand on his shoulder and said in a deep voice, "But perhaps Madam Ye restrained her rationality, or perhaps the driver didn't do it too ruthlessly, so Madam Ye did not die on the spot after the car accident."

Her rescue must have been an accident.

So Mr. Ye was the first to rush there after receiving the news, while you and the old man arrived a little later. As far as I know, your maternal grandparents arrived last and didn't even get to see them one last time.

Mr. Ye explained that he was worried that the two elderly people might be too stressed to tell him the details immediately, so he told them to come first.

This argument itself is valid.

However, given the time lag and the subsequent actions of those involved, no one except the parties involved knows what Mr. Ye actually did during that period.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Too Much Information

The little white cat was even more confused. "Host, if this is true, then Cat Boss's father killed Mom and then swallowed up her family's property!"

What does this have to do with the relatives you just mentioned?

Was there some hidden story back then?

"Go on," Ye Xingluo said, taking a deep breath and trying to suppress the raging anger burning within her.

Having a system of my own, I might be able to use it to verify some clues and deduce the truth of what happened back then!

If Dr. Han hadn't brought it up today, I probably would have remained in the dark, thinking my mother's death was an accident and never even bothering to investigate!

Fortunately, this capable assistant uncovered all the doubts and secrets from back then!

“I think Mr. and Mrs. Gu must have had some suspicions, but everything was airtight and there was no real evidence.” Jiang Chen continued, “What happened next is something everyone knows.”

Because of the death of their beloved daughter, the elderly Gu couple harbored resentment towards the Ye family, and the two sides competed against each other in the business battle.

Ultimately, the Gu family's business was gradually swallowed up by the Ye family. The elderly couple, suffering from the loss of their son, soon passed away.

However, my father had heard that Mr. Ye had doubts. The Gu family was wealthy and powerful, and even if the old couple had no intention of running the business and were only focused on going all in, they shouldn't have failed so quickly.

When I took over the business, my father mentioned something when he gave me some instructions.

Later, when I became suspicious of Madam Ye's unexpected death, I started to pay more attention.

First, it was discovered that Yang Yingying spent the night with Mr. Ye at the riverside villa on the night of the incident. The young master can verify this by checking Mr. Ye's schedule and the retired old maid's records.

The second step was to follow the line of Gu's assets and discover the secret of Madam Gu—she had been married once before, and was Mr. Gu's second wife.

Madam Gu had a son from her previous marriage, who was Madam Ye's half-brother.

After the divorce, the boy lived with his father. When the old lady married into the Gu family and became a wealthy woman, this relationship was naturally hidden. Mr. Ye also investigated the Gu family's financial situation, but he obviously didn't have connections in the medical system, so he couldn't find out anything more secretive.

That boy was your uncle. At the time of the incident, he had already started a family and a small company, following in his father's footsteps.

Taking advantage of business opportunities and cash-outs, Madam Gu cultivated close ties with that company, and a considerable amount of money naturally flowed into it. Three years ago, her eldest daughter, your cousin, returned from studying abroad and founded a technology company. She assembled a very capable team, among the world's top performers, which can perfectly solve your immediate financial crisis.

Ye Xingluo: (⊙-⊙)…

The amount of information that flooded my brain in a short time left me feeling a bit dazed.

First of all, there are indeed suspicious points surrounding my mother's unexpected death, and I urgently need to search for evidence to find the truth!

Secondly, suddenly an uncle appeared;

In the end, my cousin turned out to be a really good computer expert...

"You...you let me calm down first." He poured himself a glass of water, took a couple of sips, and sat down at the table to carefully sort out his thoughts and prepare a detailed plan for action.

Jiang Chen went upstairs, leisurely picked up a novel, and leaned back in a rocking chair to bask in the sun.

"Host, how did you do that?" The little white cat fiddled with its fluffy tail, its head full of question marks. "Even Ye Zhong couldn't find out about this secret, how did you find it? Could the original owner have been secretly investigating this all along?"

"Little newbie, don't forget this is a formulaic story."

He smiled faintly and lowered his voice to explain: "Why is it that all the domineering CEOs in Mary Sue dramas only care about falling in love all day long and do nothing else, and even accompany the female lead in all sorts of nonsense and antics, yet their companies do not go bankrupt but instead thrive and eventually become the world's richest people?"
