It’s rare to hear that third sister of the Xiao Family give a lengthy speech, yet she’s hit quite a few spots. Zhang Sanfeng listened to her words and was indeed taken aback. Upon careful listening, what she said wasn’t entirely wrong; in fact, there was some truth to it.

Caring about the family’s business is also a way of caring about the family. No matter what, in crucial moments, if you are completely in the dark, how can you save the family in time?

Xiao Shuju’s regret was profound, as she said, "If I had paid attention earlier, discovered what he was doing sooner, perhaps he wouldn’t have found the opportunity to take advantage." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"The gray you mentioned—" Zhang Sanfeng muttered while pondering, "did he do something with Lin Jiale?"

Xiao Shuju began from the start, "This goes back to how Lin Jiale took my money, right? He secretly misappropriated my money. I was trying to get my money back, so I went to the bank to see where my money had gone. Just this single clue got me so engrossed. Because he used trade means to conduct transactions with other companies, diverting my money. And you know, many companies are actually shell companies, with the sole purpose of transferring assets overseas."

"So, you looked into all those shell companies he set up overseas?"

"Yes, his main business is in Europe. To ascertain how these shell companies came and went, I went to Europe specially, established my own trading company there, and joined the business circle he once joined. To avoid suspicion, I even found a partner and entered under his name."

"Did you eventually find this person named Gray?"

"Yes, this person named Gray specializes in providing people with blank checks, meaning he helps people transfer funds internationally."

Zhang Sanfeng was familiar with those internationally renowned dark companies that specialize in money laundering, hence the skepticism: "You mentioned the Zhang Family earlier; do you mean that when the Zhang Family was doing business, they also found this person to transfer funds?"

"Yes." Xiao Shuju nodded, "Not only the Zhang Family, but also the Zhong Family."

Zhang Sanfeng wasn’t suspicious because business is often deceitful. Whether it’s the Zhang Family or Zhong Family, sometimes due to financial barriers between countries, it’s difficult to transfer funds for investment and production. At such times, people resort to these gray methods. Precisely because of this, this gentleman referred to as Gray was aptly named.

"If you put it like that, this Gray is just—" Zhang Sanfeng said, "someone who’s dealt with many international big companies, engaged in this type of business, right?"

"You really don’t know." Xiao Shuju told him, "This Mr. Gray doesn’t do business for just anyone. As far as I know, the companies he deals with, up till now based on my investigation, all have more or less relations with our family."

To this, Zhang Sanfeng had strong doubts again: "Your family is already doing business worldwide. Many international big companies interact with your family."

"Yes, based solely on this aspect, there’s nothing to dispute. But, the leader of their organization personally contacted my husband; don’t you find it odd?"

For a moment, Zhang Sanfeng felt his heart jolting. It was instinct; that sixth sense lurking in his body, like a devil or an angel, emerged, telling him: It’s those people, no mistake about it.

This he hadn’t really considered before. Turns out those people had long infiltrated each family’s surroundings using such means, planting countless bombs.

There was a knock at the door; Zhan Dapeng knocked twice.

Zhang Sanfeng realized Zhan Dapeng had something to say, so he said to Xiao Shuju, "I’ve got it all. I’ll look into it later. I understand what you mean. You’re saying that Qiaohui should similarly be aware of this too. However, this matter is obviously very complicated. I hope you maintain your current silence and don’t casually spread the word."
