The real heiress's disguise has been exposed, making her the most beloved member of Beijing

Upon hearing the butler's words, Long Yuan frowned deeply and asked, "What exactly happened? Tell me quickly!"

The butler hurriedly explained, "After Young Master Lin visited you that day, he went back and said he wanted to help you solve your problems. I advised him not to act impulsively and to wait until you recovered before making any plans. But Young Master Lin didn't listen to my advice at all and left in a huff. I was worried that Young Master Lin would act rashly, so I quickly sent someone to follow him, just in case."

Long Yuan's face grew increasingly grim, and he roared, "If someone was following him, why did Long Lin disappear!"

The butler looked troubled and replied, "The people I sent were probably discovered by Young Master Lin, so they were quickly shaken off. I'm very worried about Young Master Lin's safety, but I don't dare to go to the Jiang family to look for them rashly. After all, Young Master, your injuries haven't healed yet and you need to rest and recuperate. I really don't dare to disturb you..."

Long Yuan's anger flared instantly, and he interrupted sharply, "You knew he might be in danger, and you're only telling me now after he's been missing for so many days. If anything happens to Long Lin, I will never let you off the hook!"

After saying that, Long Yuan endured the pain in his body and struggled to sit up from the hospital bed. His movements were somewhat difficult, but his eyes were unusually firm.

Seeing this, the butler hurriedly stepped forward to help Long Yuan up, saying, "Yes, young master, it's all my fault. I'll take you to the Jiang family to find someone right away!"

……

Jiang Youli was concentrating on treating Qi Huan when suddenly, a crisp cell phone ringtone broke the silence of the room.

Qi Huan picked up her phone and pressed the answer button.

Cheng Jing's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Young Master, Qi Shaoxiong is looking for you. He's waiting downstairs right now."

Qi Huan thought for a moment, then said, "Tell him to wait half an hour before coming up."

"Okay, Master."

Seeing that Qi Huan had hung up the phone, Jiang Youli said without looking up, "It seems that things are very urgent. Qi Shaoxiong actually came to the head office."

Qi Huan smiled. "Probably."

Half an hour later——

The office doorbell rang, and Qi Huan pressed the remote to open the door. Cheng Jing led Qi Shaoxiong in.

Upon seeing Qi Huan, Qi Shaoxiong's face instantly turned ashen. He roared furiously, "Qi Huan! Explain yourself! How could there be a problem with the transport of heavy metals from Africa to China? How could the Public Security Bureau have found contraband in them! Tell me, did you have someone sabotage this?!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Huan's previously calm eyes darkened slightly, but his expression remained largely unchanged. He simply replied, "Contraband? I don't quite understand what you're talking about."

Seeing this, Qi Shaoxiong's anger intensified. He raised his voice and said, "Don't play dumb with me! It's because of these contraband items that our goods were seized and we suffered heavy losses! Who else but you would do this!"

Qi Huan calmly analyzed, "What you're saying is baseless. Why would I do that? What benefit would it bring me?"

Qi Shaoxiong snorted coldly and said through gritted teeth, "What benefits? Isn't it obvious! The Qi family's annual family meeting is about to begin. My father and I are doing very well in the non-ferrous metals industry in Africa, but what about you? Because you were crippled, the head office you managed handed over the company to Qi Yue. Who knew that the head office's projects would have constant problems and the performance would not improve at all? You must be worried that you will not be able to get the position of heir, so you are resorting to any means to sabotage it!"

Qi Huan calmly said, "When contraband is found in the transported goods, shouldn't you first investigate whether there are problems with your own subordinates? For example, whether they accepted money they shouldn't have, which led to this incident? Instead of wasting your precious time on me like this."

Seeing Qi Huan's nonchalant demeanor, Qi Shaoxiong's anger flared even more. He roared, "Of course I will have someone investigate this matter, but I hope it doesn't involve you. Otherwise, you can expect to be held accountable by the old man!"

After saying that, Qi Shaoxiong turned around and stormed out of the room.

Jiang Youli only came out of the cubicle after his figure had completely disappeared outside the door.

She walked up to Qi Huan and asked, "What do you think of what Qi Shaoxiong said?"

After a moment of contemplation, Qi Huan said, "Qi Shaoxiong and his father have been deeply involved in the African region for many years, and their subordinates are all experienced. Logically speaking, they shouldn't have made such a big mistake."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Youli nodded thoughtfully and then said, "So, you also think that Zhu Jianzhong is very likely behind this?"

Qi Huan remained silent for a while, and finally responded with a "Mm".

Jiang Youli suddenly stared at Qi Huan with a serious expression, as if trying to see through his eyes to his inner thoughts, and then solemnly asked, "Huanhuan, did you already anticipate that if Zhu Jianzhong wanted to give your Qi family a severe warning, the most likely place to target would be the non-ferrous metals sector in Africa?"

Qi Huan was silent for a moment before slowly replying, "Yes, I have considered that possibility. After all, with my aunt backing up the Qi family's other businesses, such as the new energy sector, Zhu Jianzhong shouldn't dare to act rashly. As for the financial industry that I'm in charge of, it's not easy to make a move there. In comparison, the simplest method is to bribe people in Africa and do something underhanded in the transportation process."

Jiang Youli continued, "So, you actually want to use this incident to get Zhu Jianzhong to directly eliminate Qi Shaoxiong, this major threat to your heart?"

Qi Huan said, "You could say that. At that time, I can legitimately use this matter as an excuse to weaken Qi Shaoxiong and his son's control over the African business. However, if we are not careful, it will not only affect Qi Shaoxiong and his son, but the entire Qi family will probably be implicated."

"So you have a way to deal with this?" Jiang Youli asked him.

Qi Huan replied, "Yes, but as I said, Qi Shaoxiong and his son have been deeply involved in this field for many years and are very experienced. They must have anticipated this situation and they will be able to handle it. However, regardless of whether I did it or not, Qi Shaoxiong and his son will report me to Grandpa. If I did it, I will definitely have no hope of becoming the heir. If I didn't do it, they will still try to shift the blame onto you."

Jiang Youli said, "It seems that we two have encountered an unprecedented crisis."

Qi Huan laughed and said, "It's alright. Just as I said, to deal with someone like Zhu Jianzhong, we should target his political enemies. Once Zhu Jianzhong is defeated, the Long family will be completely finished. This will be beneficial to both your Jiang family and my Qi family."

Jiang Youli raised an eyebrow and asked, "You found it?"

Qi Huan pushed the wheelchair to the giant floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the bustling traffic below, saying, "Yes, we found him. He will be the representative of the inspection team and will conduct an internal investigation for a month and a half next April. In these four months, as long as we collect enough evidence, we can bring Zhu Jianzhong down."

Four months is enough time to thoroughly investigate Zhu Jianzhong's every whim.

Jiang Youli also walked over and stood next to Qi Huan. "Okay, I'll handle collecting evidence, and you can handle the reporting."
