284 Go Play Outside If Yousre Bored (2/2)
When Yan Si finished the call, he was still fuming. The youth, being kind to the invalid, helped him with the food and chopsticks. Then he smiled at Ye Shuang and Su Zheng. ”I'm surprised at the quality of food at a small restaurant like this. These are quite fresh, and the cooking is not bad. Just the seasoning is a bit much, and the cleanliness is not so good.”
”The dishes only cost several RMB each, so stop complaining.” Ye Shuang pouted. She did not particularly like eating at high class restaurants either because most of the things on the plate would not be edible. They were carving or decoration… there to be seen, not eaten.
Su Zheng did not waste time and started eating. In the blink of an eye, two rows of ribs disappeared, and this stunned the youth. While she was chewing happily on the ribs, she even had time to look back at the youth. ”Why are you staring at me and not eating?”
The youth scratched his nose and was too embarrassed to say that he had not seen someone who ate so boldly and unrestrained before. ”By the way, do you know who called Xiao Si earlier?”
”Is it related to us?” Ye Shuang asked. The youth choked, and Ye Shuang continued with a smile. ”If it's not related to us, then there's no need to talk about it. We're not interested.”
The youth thought about it. ”It's not really a mistake to say that it's related… The call was from Yan Zhu. She is now the shot-caller at the Yan company.”
”I don't think so. At most, she has been made the CEO.” Ye Shuang picked at the dishes slowly and said casually, ”Even if Elder Yan decides to release his power, he won't transfer the whole company to Miss Yan within a short period of time because the location of the share document is still unclear, and they will need quite some time to draft a new one.
”Furthermore, Elder Yan probably won't feel that comfortable. It's better for him to hold onto the shares than giving everything to his daughter.”
Unless he was really going to die soon, the old man did not need to clean out everything so soon. Letting the child hold the power was one thing, but holding the power did not mean direct inheritance!
At most, one could say that Yan Zhu had entered the center of the company faster than Yan Si, but this could not confirm that she would be the final victor. Based on Ye Shuang's speculation, if Yan Si and Yan Zhu were not the culprit, then the thief should be one of the three wives. What if there was some natural disaster, or Elder Yan choked on the food during dinner—the situation might change at the drop of a pin. The inheritor that everyone was confirmed became a 'sub' inheritor. Before it was officialized, even though she was just one step away from the seat, that one step was enough to change everything.
Yan Si looked better and was in the mood to hear about people denying Yan Zhu.
The youth frowned. ”Yan Zhu definitely has not gotten her hands on the shares, but she still has the power. It's easy for her to do stuff when she is in power… For example, if it's really Xiao Si who inherits the company in the end, what if Yan Zhu has already emptied the company when she was in power and only left Xiao Si with a shell? What's the point of inheritance then?”
Ye Shuang tutted. ”Miss Yan is a bit… straightforward, but personally, I don't think she's a bad person—just, at times, you might think she's a bit arrogant.”
Su Zheng's cheeks were filled with meat. Surprisingly, she was able to speak with a mouthful. ”That someone, you still haven't told us how this is related to us.”
”What I mean was, the longer Yan Zhu stays at the company, the worse it will be for Xiao Si when he takes over, so it's better for us to move faster,” the youth explained.
”But we have already been moving so fast,” Su Zheng complained, ”Look, even when we are having lunch, it's because we're waiting for a clue. What else do you want?”
”Is this because you're bored?” Ye Shuang also thought that the youth was being a bit agitated. Then again, she could understand why. After all, they were investigating the people in the circuit, so how could that interest a young master? Thus, being the backdrop for the whole afternoon could be quite boring.
After a moment's silence, Ye Shuang said, ”How about this? Since you cannot help around here, how about you go and find out about other things? Xiao Su and I think that this safe route is just one of the clues. Think about this, the stuff inside the safe is very important, but the person still targeted it. This means that the culprit knows that Elder Yan has no time to conduct more checks, to make follow ups… And now we know that it's because Elder Yan's physical health is not so good. However, is it possible that someone already knew about that beforehand?”
”You want me to check up on Uncle Yan's physician?” The young man thought about it and nodded. ”Okay, leave this to me.”
