Chapter 296 - 296: An Interrogation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The disappearance of the Yan Family’s heir was such a huge piece of news that had to be sealed.

Once the other families that were in contact with the Yan Family knew about this, it would definitely affect the cooperation between the two families. The Yan Family was influential in the business and political world. If this matter

was not resolved as soon as possible, it would only cause a huge uproar.

Yan Ruo had some real power in his hands, but the Yan Family’s power had not been completely handed over to him yet.

As for the status of being the successor, it had not been announced yet.

Yan Ming and Yan Yuan were Yan Ruffs eldest and second cousins and were the sons of Elder Mr. Yan’s first son. Yan Yuan was quite ambitious and had always caused trouble for Yan Ruo behind his back.

The third one was a girl, but she was raised abroad all year round, so it was rare to see her. Yan Ruo was the fourth child in this generation.

As for Yan Ruffs younger cousin who was the son of his youngest uncle, he was like his parents and did not inherit the family business. He was a young man who was obsessed with painting.

In this family, Er-ge Yan Yuan was Yan Ruffs most direct enemy, while Da-ge Yan Ming seemed to be more scheming.

It was also because of this that Yan Ruffs father had spent a lot of effort to get Yan Ruo and Zheng You to marry, pulling the support of the Zheng Family to their side. This way, Yan Ruo could stabilize his status as the head of the Yan Family.

“Yuan’er,” Elder Mrs. Yan took her walking stick that Yan Mings subordinate handed her and sat down. She spoke slowly, “You must have some clues since you said so, right? Just tell me.”

Yan Yuan raised his head and looked at the old lady who held a high position. It was simply unreasonable for this woman with a different surname to be able to hold the power in the Yan Family at the age of 70!

The power of the Yan Family should have been immediately redivided after Elder Mr. Yan’s death, and the heir should have been either him or his elder brother.

Of course, it would be best for him to take this position. After all, his sickly elder brother might lose his life at any time.

“Grandma, I’ve already felt that something was amiss since a month ago. The previous two times Yan Ruo was in danger, it was Yan-3 who was by his side and saved him. How could it be so coincidental?”

Yan Yuan had always pretended to be submissive in front of outsiders. His back was always a little hunched. When he spoke like this in front of the old lady, it seemed that he was a person who could not achieve great things and was not strong willed.

Elder Mrs. Yan shot him a glance and asked, “You mean it’s Yan-3?”

“I’ve sent someone to bring Yan-3 back. Why don’t we take advantage of the fact that everyone’s here today to ask him?” Although Yan Yuan said that they were only asking him questions, it was no different from a trial.

Elder Mrs. Yan did not express any opinion, but Yan Yuan’s men had already brought Yan-3 into the hall.

Yan-3’s hands were tied behind his back. He was only wearing a tight shirt and pants and looked like a criminal.

Elder Mrs. Yan frowned and glanced at Yan Yuan. She was obviously not satisfied with his way of doing things. If he could not produce accurate evidence, then Yan Ruo and he would definitely have a big conflict.

“Yan-3, I believe you’re a good kid.” Elder Mrs. Yan displayed a kind expression as she asked someone to untie the rope around Yan-3!s hands.

“Thank you for your trust, Elder Mrs. Yan. Yan-3 is loyal to the Yan Family and President Yan. It’s just that…” Yan-3’s explanation was interrupted. Yan Yuan’s subordinate came in and handed a stack of documents to Yan Yuan.

Yan Yuan had only flipped through two pages before his expression changed.

He rushed forward and questioned Yan-3, “Does Yan Ruo not treat you well? Who ordered you to take his life?”

He grabbed Yan-3 by the collar and asked angrily, “Where’s Yan Ruo right now?!”

Yan Ming stood beside Elder Mrs. Yan, not saying a word.

Yan Yuan was still so impetuous, always doing things in a hurry.

Now that Yan Ruo had just lost contact with them, he could not hold back anymore.

“Yuan’er, don’t use violence.” Elder Mrs. Yan immediately stopped Yan Yuan.

Yan Yuan took the stack of documents and respectfully handed them to the old woman. He said with grief and indignation, “Grandma! Look, this is evidence of Yan-3 colluding with outsiders! He’s the one who wanted to harm

Yan Ruo!”

The document contained records of Yan-3 contacting mercenaries and mobilizing manpower in private. It pointed to the fact that Yan-3 had betrayed Yan Ruo.

“Yan-3!” Elder Mrs. Yan was furious. She threw the stack of documents in front of Yan-3.

“You said that you’re absolutely loyal.. Then how do you explain all these?!”
