Xiao Jin shrugged and said to Catherine with well-reasoned logic.
Lu Yuran was a famous lawyer. If the Feng couple had notarized their will with him, there was no reason for Lu Yuran not to provide it. Catherine was the only one left in the Feng family.
"I understand. Do you have his private number?"
Catherine nodded. She looked at Xiao Jin, knowing he was well-informed and likely knew this.
Calling the number on Lu Yuran's business card would usually be answered by his assistant, and then she would have to make an appointment, which would be troublesome.
Moreover, other shareholders might find out about this matter, which would be even more troublesome. They would definitely try to stop her, and might even destroy the will.
"Miss, of course, I have it." Jin said with full confidence. He quickly found a string of numbers and sent it to Catherine.
"Okay, I've received it." Catherine looked at the string of phone numbers with satisfaction. She seemed to think of something, coughed, and glanced at Xiao Jin, "You can go out now."
Hearing Catherine's words, Jin didn't say anything more. He bowed and walked out of the office.
Miss seems to have something on her mind. Xiao Jin smiled indifferently and sped off towards the base as if his feet were greased. He wasn't Kai, so he wouldn't do anything unnecessary.
In the office, Catherine typed in Lu Yuran's phone number but hesitated before pressing the call button.
Her parents had never even told her that they had sought Lu Yuran for notarization. So, would Lu Yuran actually have their will?
But neither her father nor her mother, nor anyone else, had ever mentioned it to her, let alone a highly confidential will. They never told her anything.
Because she was not their biological daughter, she did not share their blood...
Catherine tapped her forehead, interrupting her wild thoughts. Whether there was a will or not, she had to ask Lu Yuran to find out.
Having made up her mind, Catherine tapped the call button. With a beep, the call was quickly answered.
"Hello?" The man's voice was like an announcer's. With just one word, one could imagine that he was a handsome man.
"Hello, Lawyer Lu Yuran, I am Catherine, the eldest daughter of the Feng family."
Catherine introduced herself, getting straight to the point as Xiao Jin had suggested.
"Oh, what do you need me for?"
Lu Yuran's "Oh" lingered for a long time, as if he didn't understand why Catherine was calling him, nor could he comprehend that she actually had his phone number.
"I heard that my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Feng, had their inheritance notarized with you, and the will is in your possession."
Catherine had no time for small talk with Lu Yuran and went straight to the topic.
Although only Mr. Lai knew about it for now, it was not impossible for other shareholders to suspect something. After all, when the previous leader was critically ill and not lucid, the will was still completely destroyed.
When Lu Yuran heard such a direct statement, he was surprised for a moment, but it only lasted for a few seconds. He righteously refused to answer Catherine's question.
"First of all, I am not sure if you are truly the Feng family's daughter. Secondly, even if you are, I have no obligation to answer. Finally, I have business to attend to, goodbye."
As he spoke a series of logically ordered words, Lu Yuran did as he said and hung up Catherine's call decisively.
As expected, a thorny individual. In such a brief conversation, she had hit a wall.
Catherine was not deterred by the difficulty. Lu Yuran's temper was well-known. She found Lu Yuran's chat account, and after sending a friend request, she also sent her business card via text message.
This was to prove that she, Catherine, was indeed the Feng family's daughter.
The moment Lu Yuran accepted her friend request, Catherine impatiently initiated a video call.
The battle-hardened lawyer Lu was not intimidated. Within the extremely short time, he had also confirmed that the other party was indeed Miss Catherine, the Feng family's daughter.
"Nice to meet you, Lawyer Lu. We are about to start a new conversation."
Catherine smiled friendly. Before she could ascertain the whereabouts of the will, she could not act rashly and even had to show her friendliness.
"Miss Catherine, the sole daughter of the Feng family." Lu Yuran confirmed Catherine's identity. He nodded slightly and greeted her politely, "Hello."
Lu Yuran looked very young, appearing to be around Catherine's age. Unlike typical lawyers, he was not stern and unsmiling. Instead, he had a pair of charming eyes that made people want to get close to him.
"The eldest young lady's constant pestering is very troublesome to me, and my time is very expensive. Are you sure you want to consult?"
Contrary to his appearance, Lu Yuran was born with a sharp tongue. It was rumored that in court, he had once angered the opposing lawyer into a coma with just a few words.
Catherine's smile widened. She pulled out a timer and placed it on the table.
"If this is what it takes for Lawyer Lu to talk to me, then I am absolutely sure."
Lu Yuran glanced at the timer and raised his eyebrows amusingly, looking directly at Catherine.
This woman, it seemed, was not going to give up easily.
"Then please speak. If it's the same question as before, I won't answer." Lu Yuran leaned back comfortably in his chair.
"If my parents knew, wouldn't you break their hearts by acting like this?" Catherine dropped a bombshell.
"I will only announce the contents of the will when I see the remains of Mr. and Mrs. Feng."
Lu Yuran, however, was not surprised. He gave Catherine a meaningful look.
"Besides, the will... you don't need to worry about it."
Catherine was stunned for a long time, her heart pounding wildly. Just as she wanted to say something else, Lu Yuran, uninterested, hung up the video call.
What did he mean, that she didn't need to worry about the will?
Catherine nervously bit her finger, and a bold guess suddenly came to her mind.
That will probably didn't mention her. Her parents knew she wasn't their biological daughter, so they had prepared a will early on.
The content of the will might mention Wei Yumeng. They wanted the true bloodline of the Feng family to return to Country Y and inherit the Feng Group!
When they were doing the notarization, they sought out lawyer Lu Yuran. Therefore, Lu Yuran knew the contents of the will, and perhaps he also knew that she was just a fake Feng family daughter!
The more Catherine thought about it, the angrier she became. She swept everything on the desk to the floor.
"As long as I get the Feng family seal, even the will can't do anything to me!"
Catherine thought to herself. The most important thing now was to win over allies and acquire the majority of the group's shares.
Her parents had died in a plane crash, and their remains would be hard to recover. Even if they were found, as long as she destroyed the will before then...
Or, kill Wei Yumeng!
