"Fang Xun, have you heard any rumors from your end about the Feng Group?" Wei Yumeng rested her chin on her hand, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she asked Fang Xun.
Fang Xun usually dealt with many companies. No matter how discreet the power struggle within the Feng Group was, news would eventually leak out.
In this world, no wall is entirely airtight.
"Yes, recently there's been a lot of restlessness among the Feng Group's top brass. Various factions are recruiting strong allies, even extending olive branches to some emerging powers."
As Zhan's Group's assistant, there was no information Fang Xun couldn't get. Moreover, he was the closest person to Zhan Mohan, and many people fawned over him, eagerly offering him information just to get him to mention them to Zhan Mohan.
"Then, what about Catherine?"
Wei Yumeng understood. Upon hearing the news of the Feng couple's demise, the higher-ups would naturally be eager to seize power. But what about Catherine?
She was the Feng couple's only daughter, pampered and doted upon. She should be even more grief-stricken, yet she wasn't.
Therefore, Wei Yumeng was eager to know what Catherine had been doing after seeing that evening news report.
"I heard that a sudden meeting was convened within the Feng Group a few days ago, which startled the entire group. It was from that night onwards that the power struggle was officially announced to have begun," Fang Xun said, then paused.
"It must have been Catherine who called it. Besides the Feng couple, only their daughter has the authority to command the Feng Group's high-level executives. Others don't have that much power," Zhan Mohan's dark eyes deepened as he coolly curved his thin lips, stating with certainty.
Fang Xun nodded. He sorted through the information gathered over several days and found a lot about the Feng Group, likely because their internal power struggle had affected a wide scope.
"It is said that the Feng heiress has seized the initiative. Although she suffered a setback in the meeting, she is already exercising their powers on behalf of the Feng couple."
"From my time in the hospital, Catherine is a shrewd and capable person. I heard she studied overseas and should be very good at managing a company."
Wei Yumeng felt that Fang Xun's information was accurate. For some reason, from the moment she saw Catherine, she felt she wasn't a simple woman.
Listening to Catherine's conversation, one could further appreciate her extensive knowledge, but…
"In the hospital, she showed great concern for me, a complete stranger, even providing the O-negative blood that saved my life."
Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan, her expression growing serious as she spoke of past events.
Zhan Mohan understood her look. It was precisely because Catherine had traveled thousands of miles, rushing to the hospital, and extended a helping hand when Wei Yumeng's life was hanging by a thread.
That was why he had established a long-term cooperation with the Feng Group in business. Zhan's Group had also provided more favorable assistance, especially to Catherine's Kaiyue Company.
"Upon learning of the Feng couple's demise, her first action was to convene a meeting of the Feng Group's senior executives, rather than searching for the bodies of the Feng couple or holding a funeral."
"Catherine is so eager to seize power, and in all her actions, I cannot detect any sign of grief. Those were her parents."
Wei Yumeng voiced her suspicions, her delicate brows furrowing slightly as she rested her hand on the table.
Catherine, for a stranger like her, had traveled great distances to save her, and had shown strong concern during her subsequent treatment.
"Whether it's her or her parents, this family has shown you too much care, especially this Feng heiress, Catherine."
Zhan Mohan's handsome face held a meaningful expression, a fleeting, unidentifiable emotion in his eyes. He suddenly furrowed his brows and slowly voiced his conjecture.
"Perhaps, once she gains full control, her next target might be you."
"My thoughts are the same as yours."
Catching Zhan Mohan's gaze, Wei Yumeng's heart sank. She too had a nagging feeling that this family was paying too much, an abnormal amount of attention to her.
"President… Madam…"
Fang Xun's face showed surprise. He looked at Wei Yumeng, then at Zhan Mohan.
"Although I don't like to meddle in other people's affairs, my bottom line does not allow anyone to cross it. We should investigate the truth behind all this."
Zhan Mohan lowered his gaze indifferently. His long fingers reached out and clasped Wei Yumeng's small hand tightly, enveloping hers in his palm.
Whatever threat loomed, he would extinguish it before it could manifest.
"I have a feeling we might uncover something interesting."
Wei Yumeng was not afraid of unclear difficulties. She gave Zhan Mohan a reassuring look, a gentle smile gracing her lips.
With him by her side, nothing could make her fearful; instead, it felt like an added touch of brilliance.
"President, Madam, what should we do next?" Fang Xun asked respectfully, his heart at ease after witnessing the tender moment between them.
"First, have someone monitor every move of the Feng Group while simultaneously keeping an eye on Catherine. Notify us immediately of any shifts in their plans or any abnormal behavior."
Zhan Mohan clearly instructed Fang Xun. They were in the open while their opponents were in the shadows, so they had to guard against any potentially harmful actions.
"Also, send people to secretly search for the Feng couple. Since they weren't killed, they must be somewhere."
Wei Yumeng's gaze sharpened. The Feng Group had been engaged in a power struggle for some time. While the Feng couple wasn't dead, they hadn't appeared.
Were they abducted by an unknown force, or were they lurking in the shadows, silently watching everything? Or, were they…
Wei Yumeng's thoughts paused at this point. No matter what conjectures she made, only facts could ultimately verify them.
"Understood. I will have people secretly search for the Feng couple's whereabouts without alerting anyone," Fang Xun nodded, accepting Zhan Mohan and Wei Yumeng's instructions.
Wei Yumeng showed a satisfied look. If they wanted to uncover the truth, they couldn't alert the enemy. If Catherine or any other high-ranking member of the Feng Group discovered their intentions, then…
It would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to probe the complexities of the situation.
"The most important thing is to find the Feng couple. Once there's any news, report to me immediately."
Zhan Mohan emphasized this point again. Approaching only through Catherine, they would only get superficial information.
Wei Yumeng nodded in agreement, gazing at the distant scenery, her vision unconsciously becoming profound.
The most crucial breakthrough was the Feng couple.
She wondered what had happened that day that caused them to miss their flight.
