"My name is Ye Tian, and I'm Li Zhixuan's good friend. Where is he now?"
The woman's tears fell again. "The boss committed suicide a week ago."
Ye Tian closed his eyes. He knew something had happened.
Taking a deep breath, he said, "Can you tell me what happened?"
The woman nodded. "Okay."
After burning the remaining papers, she invited Ye Tian to the coffee shop on the second floor of the office building. The three of them sat down, and she briefly explained Li Zhixuan's situation to Ye Tian.
Four years ago, Li Zhixuan graduated from university and started working at a US tech company. It was a tech giant, and his talent was extraordinary. Upon joining, his annual salary was as high as a million US dollars.
However, Li Zhixuan resigned after just over a year, returning to China with a million US dollars to start his own business and establish this software company. The company was quite powerful and was favored by a group of investment bigwigs. It quickly secured financing and rapidly developed two software products.
In just two years, Li Zhixuan had earned two hundred million. He was entirely devoted to his work and had never dated. Six months ago, a woman appeared in his life.
The woman was very beautiful and immediately attracted Li Zhixuan. He was a person of simple emotions, and when he liked someone, he would go all out, regardless of the cost. He bought the woman a car, bags, and a house, spending almost all his savings in six months.
If it were just about spending money, it wouldn't have been a problem. But Li Zhixuan was infatuated and, at the woman's request, signed an equity transfer agreement. Not long ago, the investors wanted to take the company public, with an initial valuation of twelve billion.
But when Li Zhixuan tried to find the woman to discuss the IPO, she blocked him. She was now the largest shareholder and was negotiating with the investors alone, cutting Li Zhixuan out. Soon after, Li Zhixuan was removed from his positions as Chairman and CEO, completely severing his ties with the company.
Shortly thereafter, the company secured another thirty billion in financing, and its market value reached a staggering twenty billion. All of this was now unrelated to Li Zhixuan.
Li Zhixuan was furious. He went to find the woman but was dragged out by security guards and beaten. Not only that, but some people from society also threatened him and his family.
Li Zhixuan was desperate. A week ago, he jumped from the top of the office building, ending his young life.
At this point, the woman choked on her tears. She was an old employee who had been with Li Zhixuan for a long time. After Li Zhixuan was removed from his position, she also resigned. She had encountered great difficulties in the past, and Li Zhixuan had helped her, so she was extremely grateful. After Li Zhixuan's death, she was deeply saddened and often came here to burn paper for him.
Ye Tian's face was filled with frost. This woman was truly venomous!
He asked, "What's her name?"
The woman replied, "Her name is Ding Xin."
"Thank you for telling me this," he said.
After a few more words, Ye Tian paid the bill and left.
Outside the office building, even Long Xiao could feel the strong killing intent emanating from him and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Ye Tian said faintly, "After the ranking matches are over, I will handle it."
Long Xiao remarked, "Your brother is too naive. He was clearly manipulated by a woman. This woman is too cruel; not only did she take your brother's money, but she also took his company and drove him to his death."
Ye Tian said hatefully, "Zhixuan is such a fool. He could have started a company again after losing his. Why did he give up on life!"
Long Xiao replied, "Not everyone is as strong as you. Perhaps he felt death was a release. Moreover, there must be other hidden details that you don't know yet."
He took a deep breath and said, "Let's go back."
Upon returning to the martial arts school, the gambling fights had long since ended, and the venue was empty.
Ye Tian didn't mind. However, Wu Zongnian called, asking why he hadn't fought anymore. Ye Tian said he needed to rest.
Back in his "super-luxury room," Ye Tian called Lin Ziyi and told her about Li Zhixuan's situation.
Lin Ziyi was also very surprised. "How could this happen! Li Zhixuan was too foolish. If he had called you, we would have helped him no matter what."
Ye Tian sighed, "Zhixuan's mind is sharp, but he's very sensitive. I should have found a way to contact him earlier."
Lin Ziyi said, "Brother Tian, this is not your fault. We should blame that shameless woman."
Ye Tian gritted his teeth. "I won't let this Ding Xin go!"
Lin Ziyi was worried about Ye Tian, as her best brother had been harmed to death. She feared Ye Tian might do something rash and said, "Brother Tian, I'll come to see you tomorrow."
Ye Tian naturally couldn't let her come, as it would reveal the matter of the gambling fights. He said, "No need, I'll be back in a couple of days."
