The reporters seemed to have prearranged their movements, not bothering Feng Corporation but heading straight for Zhan Corporation.
Wei Yumeng felt a stifling frustration, but even so, she couldn't just sit idly by and wait for Zhan Mohan to resolve everything.
In truth, if one were to truly assign blame for this project, the trail wouldn't be impossible to find.
At the end of the day, the only people truly responsible for this project were Wei Yumeng and Zhan Yangyi, and it was Wei Yumeng and Zhan Yangyi who personally selected the construction materials for the buildings.
Wei Yumeng was certain that nothing substandard could have possibly slipped in under her watch.
So, only one possibility came to mind: could Zhan Yangyi have done something?
But Wei Yumeng couldn't fathom why Zhan Yangyi would do such a thing. After all, before Zhan Mohan intervened, they themselves were the ones in charge of this project. If something went wrong, the responsibility they would bear would be enough to sink the entire company.
Although Zhan Yangyi's backing was still unclear, his company had not been established for long, and he would certainly not wish for such a situation to arise.
Could the entire affair be a conspiracy?
Yet, Wei Yumeng couldn't figure out who was behind it or what their motive was.
Nevertheless, Wei Yumeng still organized all the project-related documents, delivery orders, and inspection certificates. If anything unexpected happened, she would be prepared to present them.
After some thought, she decided to make a copy of these documents and send them to Zhan Mohan.
When she returned home that evening, Zhan Mohan was indeed not there.
"Jin Zhi, Dad hasn't come back yet?"
Zhan Jin Zhi shook his head. "Not yet, Mom. I heard Dad's company had an incident, is it very serious?"
Even Zhan Shiqing looked worried. "My classmates at school were all talking about it today, saying Zhan Corporation is in big trouble."
Wei Yumeng frowned slightly. She hadn't expected things to affect her two children.
"You know well enough, an accident did happen. But this sort of thing isn't a major problem for your father. You don't need to worry; we will be able to handle it."
Zhan Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I knew Dad was so capable, he'd be fine."
But Zhan Jin Zhi didn't relax because of this. He had seen the news and knew this matter wouldn't be easily resolved.
However, he couldn't help with work matters at the moment, so he could only ensure that Wei Yumeng and Zhan Mohan wouldn't have to spend extra energy worrying about them.
"Mmm, I believe Dad and Mom can definitely solve it," Zhan Jin Zhi said deliberately.
As expected, Wei Yumeng also relaxed upon hearing this. After all, she didn't want her children to worry about their business affairs at such a young age.
Wei Yumeng looked at the documents specially prepared for Zhan Mohan in her bag. It seemed she wouldn't be able to give them to him today.
After settling the two children, Wei Yumeng returned to her room and took out her phone. No matter what, she still wanted to know how Zhan Mohan was faring.
After the phone rang for a long time, the call was finally connected.
Wei Yumeng quickly asked, "Mohan, how are things on your end?"
"Don't worry, I can handle it."
Although Zhan Mohan's voice was still calm and steady, Wei Yumeng could hear the weariness embedded within it.
"I found some information that might be useful to you. I originally planned to give it to you today."
"Good. I'll have Fang Xun pick it up first thing tomorrow. You've also had a busy day, so you should rest at this hour."
But Wei Yumeng didn't hang up the phone. "Mohan, I have a bad feeling, a very bad one, as if something we can't foresee is about to happen."
Zhan Mohan's voice held a hint of helplessness. "Don't overthink it. Don't worry. I've already uncovered some issues regarding this matter. Give me a few more days, and everything will come to light. Trust me."
"Mmm, then I'll await your good news."
To avoid worrying Zhan Mohan, Wei Yumeng had no choice but to pretend to be convinced by his words. After a few more instructions, she hung up.
In fact, Wei Yumeng already had a plan in mind. Although Zhan Mohan seemed to have indeed found something, it was still possible for other things to happen in the interim. If the situation worsened, she would have to bear the blame herself.
Although she was currently with Feng Corporation, her role as acting president had not changed.
As long as she took the blame alone and left Feng Corporation, the damage to Feng Corporation would be minimized, and Zhan Mohan could be freed.
Actually, as long as Zhan Mohan was alright, what did it matter if she sacrificed something?
Wei Yumeng thought this way and, with a very complex mix of emotions, finally managed to fall asleep.
However, this night did not bring any improvement to the situation. When Wei Yumeng opened her eyes, it symbolized that even more severe events had transpired.
When Wei Yumeng saw Fang Xun, his expression was also grim.
"Madam, actually, President Zhan was taken to the detention center by local police this morning due to the project's extensive involvement."
Wei Yumeng felt her mind go blank, as if she had lost all sensation.
"How could it come to this? Didn't Mohan say you had found something? That it could be resolved?"
"That was indeed the case initially. But this morning, for some reason, the police stormed into the company and took President Zhan away." Fang Xun also looked troubled. "President Zhan asked me to continue investigating this matter, but I felt I should inform you."
Wei Yumeng took a deep breath. No matter what, she couldn't lose her composure at this moment. Otherwise, who else could investigate everything?
"Can I go and see Mohan?"
Fang Xun immediately replied, "I'll arrange it for you right away, Madam."
Wei Yumeng had never imagined she would meet Zhan Mohan like this.
She felt for the first time that the thick glass separating them seemed to have divided them into two worlds.
"Mohan," Wei Yumeng said, close to tears.
But Zhan Mohan remained as stern as ever. "Yumeng, I'm fine."
"You always say you're fine, that you can handle it, that you're doing well. But do you know how I feel seeing you like this?"
Wei Yumeng could barely control her emotions.
"What exactly do I need to do now to help you? To bring all of this to light."
"Yumeng, listen to me calmly. Actually, I've investigated this and found that it was indeed deliberate." Zhan Mohan reached out as if to comfort Wei Yumeng, but realized he couldn't touch her.
