Chapter 241: Chapter 241 The Secret of the Si Family! 2
Ye Junqing’s face was stern, his expression full of anger. "It had better be that way, or else the relationship between our two families will end here!"
The Ye Family’s protective attitude towards Si Mingjing warmed her heart.
It was even more apparent to the Lin Family that Si Mingjing was the darling of the entire Ye Family. The way Ye Junqing protected Si Mingjing was just like protecting his own daughter!
Lin Hanfeng felt a pang of retrospective fear, quickly followed by immense relief. Thank heavens, Si Mingjing was unharmed! Otherwise, his longstanding friendship with Ye Junqing would likely have turned into enmity from this point on.
Lin Hanfeng reported the incident to the police immediately.
He explained the whole story to the officers!
This was an attempted murder!
Even if the murder attempt failed, it was still a serious criminal case!
One look at the crushed Ye Family car was enough to know!
That night was definitely an omen of an impending storm.
The case was very easy to investigate. Mo Yinhe had already gathered all the evidence, so as soon as the police looked into it, they would immediately find the involved parties!
It was much easier to solve than the Si Yao murder case!
By eleven o’clock that night, Song Tengfei, Fang Jing, Huo Hailou, and Lin Xiansi were all arrested!
「The next day.」
Si Mingjing went to Song Group early in the morning.
In Song Tengfei’s office, she received Xi Tan.
Xi Tan was an assistant meticulously trained by her grandfather and also recommended by Su Cheng, so Si Mingjing trusted him completely.
Si Mingjing had already arranged with Xi Tan that he would come to work at Song Group after the New Year. However, when Song Tengfei was suddenly released from prison, the plan was shelved.
Now that Song Tengfei had been taken away by the police for attempting to murder her, it was impossible for him to be released again!
Even if it was an attempted murder, it’s still a charge of homicide!
In addition, Si Mingjing also met with Xie Changyuan.
Si Mingjing had cured Xie Changyuan’s bone cancer, giving him a new lease on life. While Xie Changyuan was recuperating in the hospital, Si Mingjing called him. She offered him a high salary to work as a professional manager at Song Group. Xie Changyuan hesitated for two days before finally accepting.
For Xie Changyuan, this was a debt of gratitude he had to repay. If Si Mingjing needed him, he had to repay the favor, as Si Mingjing had saved his life.
In the morning, Si Mingjing held a meeting with the company’s senior executives.
She announced three things:
First, she announced she was taking over Song Group and would become its new Chairman.
Second, she appointed Xi Tan as the Special Assistant to the Chairman of Song Group.
Third, she appointed Xie Changyuan as a professional manager of Song Group.
After she announced the three items, the entire Song Group was shaken!
Is this a change of power in Song Group?
Song Tengfei’s loyal executives were not willing to accept this. They stood up and questioned, "Miss Si, where is Chairman Song?"
"Last night, my father hired someone to kill me, attempting to stage my accidental death in a car crash. Although it was an attempted murder, he has already been taken by the police. If you want to see him, go to the police station."
"What?" Everyone was shocked. How could Chairman Song have been so foolish?
Si Mingjing couldn’t be bothered with Song Tengfei’s loyal executives any longer. She pulled back her chair, stood up, and said, "Meeting adjourned!"
Si Mingjing’s presence was powerful; she no longer wasted words with the executives. In the coming period, Song Group would experience a storm of internal strife.
These matters, Si Mingjing intended to delegate to Xi Tan.
If Song Tengfei’s loyal executives were unwilling to pledge loyalty to her, then they would all be purged from Song Group!
She would never be merciful!
Just like five years ago, after her mother Si Yao was sentenced to death and Chairman Si (her grandfather) died from a heart attack brought on by the shock, Song Tengfei had done the same.
After taking over the company, Song Tengfei’s first order of business had been to purge Chairman Si’s loyalists, and Xi Tan was one of them.
Xi Tan had been waiting for this day to return for a full five years!
After leaving the meeting room, Xi Tan followed behind Si Mingjing, unable to resist wiping the corner of his eyes.
He said, "The empire that Chairman Si built has finally returned to the hands of the Si Family. Miss Si, if Chairman Si knew how capable his granddaughter was, his spirit would definitely be comforted in heaven."
Si Mingjing smiled faintly.
In fact, she was not her grandfather’s biological granddaughter.
The empire that her grandfather built ultimately couldn’t be passed on to his real descendants. Could her grandfather really rest in peace?
Si Mingjing felt a profound sense of melancholy.
After returning to the office, Xi Tan handed her a box.
"What is this?"
Xi Tan said, "This was left by the Old Chairman before he passed away. He said he would have a granddaughter and told me to hand this to you. But when I saw you getting close to the Song Family as soon as you returned, I was angry, so I didn’t contact you. It’s only now that I understand you’ve been biding your time, wanting to avenge your mother and the Old Chairman."
Si Mingjing was surprised. "I wasn’t even born then, and my grandfather knew he had a granddaughter?"
Xi Tan said, "I don’t know the specifics. I was just keeping it safe, fulfilling the Old Chairman’s last wish."
Si Mingjing took the box.
After Xi Tan left, she opened the box. Inside was a will, a letter, and a key.
Si Mingjing tore open the envelope and carefully read the words in the letter.
It read: "The Si family ancestors came from the Mu Continent. After my demise, all the wealth of the Si Family will belong to my granddaughter, Si Mingjing..."
The letter also mentioned that the Si Family had another fortune on the Mu Continent, and this key could open the door to that wealth.
Who would have thought the Si Family originated from the Mu Continent?
It looks like after everything ends, she should indeed take a trip to the Mu Continent to uncover the mystery of her origin.
Si Mingjing looked at the will again. The will didn’t mention the Mu Continent but stated clearly that upon Chairman Si’s death, the Si Group would belong to Si Mingjing.
Great! With this will, she could completely kick Song Tengfei out of the Song Group.
After work, she returned to the Ye Family manor. She had bought small cakes for Xiaobai, Liangliang, and Susu. Upon entering the villa to find the three children, she saw guests in the living room.
There were two people.
One appeared to be about her age, wearing a beautiful dress, young and pretty—a girl.
The other seemed to be in his forties, very handsome, with a feminine kind of handsomeness, and bore some resemblance to the young girl in appearance.
Si Mingjing guessed: This must be a father and daughter.
Ye Shen sat beside them, his eyes never straying from the young girl’s face, his gaze intense with a tinge of pain because the young girl wasn’t looking at him.
Ye Xinguang and Ye Junqing were also sitting in the living room, chatting with the older one, seeming to be on very good terms.
"Mingjing is back?"
Ye Xinguang introduced her to the guests, "This is Si Mingjing; Yinhe is pursuing her, my future daughter-in-law."
Then she said to Si Mingjing, "Mingjing, this is Yinhe’s aunt and cousin."
"Aunt?" Si Mingjing was astonished. Isn’t this a man? He’s wearing a suit, has a man’s hairstyle, and even his shoes are men’s.
HAHAHAHA...
The individual, whom Si Mingjing had perceived as a feminine-looking man in his forties, saw her astonished expression and burst into laughter. He flopped onto the couch, draped a hand over Ye Junqing’s shoulder, and said in a distinctly male voice, "Junqing, that kid Yinhe has quite the eye—better than my daughter’s."
Hearing this, Ye Shen felt like crying. Was he really that bad?
