Chapter 2404: Chapter 2405: Coincidence Chapter 2404: Chapter 2405: Coincidence “No way, soone in their early thirties can beco the CEO of Lingyun Group?”
“Qi Xianzhao is extrely capable. If you can secure him, I won’t ddle in whatever you do in the future.”
“Such a talented person, I am indeed quite interested. I’ll et with him in a bit.”
As ti passed, more and more people gathered at the entrance of the funeral parlor.
“Look quickly, Director Qi from Lingyun Group and President He are here.”
Soone exclaid upon seeing the Maybach parked not far away, starting a buzz of conversation.
With Lingyun Group’s status in the industry, the current crowd here was not noteworthy.
However, after getting out of the car, Lin Yi didn’t walk with the two but instead headed towards an unpopulated corner.
Seeing Director Qi and He Yuanyuan approaching, everyone went forward to greet them, wanting to get on friendly terms.
To them, a funeral was no different from a dinner party.
Both offered opportunities to et more people, and as a natural consequence, business could be discussed.
After all, aside from imdiate family mbers, no one would forgo business dealings because of a little grief.
Seeing the throngs of people coming to greet them, both displayed professional smiles, shook hands with each one, acting appropriately and graciously.
At this mont, Lin Yi, via a side door, arrived inside the funeral parlor.
“Director Lin, you’re here.”
Just reaching the third floor, he saw a middle-aged woman and a young man standing at the staircase.
The woman’s na was Sun Yuxiang, wife of Wang Jiasu, and the young man was their son, Wang Fanshuo, who studied for an MBA in Arica and had just returned to the country a few days ago.
Lin Yi extended his hand and shook hands with Sun Yuxiang.
“I offer my condolences, nobody wishes for such things to happen.”
“But I always feel that our Old Wang didn’t have an accident; soone killed him,” Sun Yuxiang said while touching her tears.
Lin Yi looked around and noticed no one was passing by.
“Sister-in-law, this is not the place to talk, let’s find sowhere private to chat.”
“Alright, alright…”
The three of them went together to the VIP rest area, where Wang Fanshuo locked the door, not intending to let outsiders in.
“Sister-in-law, we’re all not strangers, you’ve t and had als with and my wife before. I’ll be straightforward,” Lin Yi spoke:
“I hope your son can inherit the Wang family’s industry, shoulder the responsibility of the group, and Lingyun Group will assist from behind.”
“Director Lin, are you also skeptical of Wang Jialu?” Sun Yuxiang said through clenched teeth:
“It’s definitely him who caused Old Wang’s death, wanting to snatch the company’s assets.”
“Theoretically, it’s possible, but without evidence, we can’t make rash statents,” Lin Yi said:
“What I can do now is to help you protect the Wang family’s assets and then work on a win-win cooperation. He’ll rest in peace knowing this.”
Hearing these words, Sun Yuxiang wiped her tears.
“I really can’t thank you enough, Director Lin. Such an important person like you not only cos to Old Wang’s morial service but also worries about our family’s issues. I don’t know how to express my gratitude.”
“You are welco. Without Huayu Storage, Lingyun Group’s business wouldn’t be as expansive as it is; it’s a mutually beneficial cooperation. To say thanks would be overformal.”
“Then I won’t stand on ceremony with you.”
Sun Yuxiang called out, “Son, co and greet Director Lin, the family business will be relying on you from now on.”
“Director Lin.”
Wang Fanshuo reached out his hand, his deanor still sowhat immature.
Although they were the sa age, in terms of presence, he was no match for the seasoned Lin Yi.
Lin Yi also extended his hand in response, “We will be partners from now on. Work hard and don’t let outsiders laugh at us.”
“Thank you, Director Lin, I understand.”
After discussing official business, Lin Yi felt much more relaxed.
“How are the follow-up arrangents going? Have you purchased a burial plot? Do you need help picking a good one?”
“No need, no need, thank you for your concern, Director Lin.” Sun Yuxiang said:
“We are all from out of town, so we won’t be placing him in Zhong Hai. We’re preparing to send him back to his hotown.”
“If I rember correctly, Director Wang is from Jinling, right?”
“Yes, we are all from Jinling.” Sun Yuxiang said:
“But his hotown is in the countryside. I haven’t decided yet whether to bury him there or not.”
“In the village?” Lin Yi joked:
“By that logic, Director Wang’s life is quite remarkable. It’s like a story of a country boy marrying a rich girl, enough to be written into a novel.”
“Isn’t that the case? Despite his current good life, back in those days, his village in Jindou was so poor they barely had enough to eat. Fortunately, he was hard-working, and made a na for himself over the years, otherwise…”
“Wait a minute…”
Lin Yi suddenly interrupted Sun Yuxiang.
“You said Director Wang’s hotown is Jindou Village?”
“Right, it’s about thirty-sothing kiloters away from Jinling City center. Director Lin is familiar with the place?”
“I’ve heard a few things…”
Lin Yi casually responded and fell silent, sinking into thought.
Because Jindou Village sounded familiar to him.
It took him a while to rember that during the interrogation of Ma Haiqiang, Ma had ntioned this place.
He claid that both he and Fang Daye were from Jindou Village!
Unexpectedly, Wang Jiasu was also from Jindou Village!
Isn’t this a bit too coincidental?!
“Director Lin?” Sun Yuxiang asked tentatively.
“Sorry, I was just spacing out.” Lin Yi said with a smile:
“I have a friend whose parents also ca from Jintou Village, so he and Director Wang would be fellow villagers.”
Lin Yi made up an excuse, planning to gloss over the subject.
“That really is quite a coincidence. Our Old Wang said that Jindou Village was particularly poor back then. Many young people left, and even though China is so big, it’s truly not easy to et soone from the sa hotown.”
“Indeed.” Lin Yi’s eyes shifted, “When do you plan to cremate the body?”
Sun Yuxiang looked at her watch, “In half an hour, it will be the ti calculated by the Yin Yang Master.”
Lin Yi nodded and said with a smile:
“I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll step out for a bit. We can talk more later.”
“Alright, alright, you go ahead and get busy, Director Lin. Son, go see Director Lin out.”
“No need, no need, you have a lot to deal with at ho, don’t worry about ; I’m not an outsider.”
After greeting everyone, Lin Yi left quickly.
Then, he found a funeral ho staff mber, asked so questions, and went up to the fourth floor, arriving in front of the director’s office doorway.
He knocked on the door, heard voices from inside, and then pushed the door open and entered.
A middle-aged man in his forties was sitting inside, wearing glasses, his eyes assessing Lin Yi as he walked in.
“Hello, you are…?”
Lin Yi pulled out his identification and whispered:
“I’m from a classified unit, and I need your cooperation with sothing right now. If you doubt my identity, you can call to verify, but I hope you will cooperate.”
