Imperial Treasure

Chapter 660 - 426: News 2

Hey, what a thing to say!

The chubby man pouted his lips and hummed, "No need to tell me... I know her capabilities better than anyone. You couldn’t remove the ghostly stuff from my body, yet she did it effortlessly. Her caliber must be above martial arts.. and also connected with the witches.."

He paused and then asked, "Uncle, do you think I need to come clean with her about our relationship proactively? Otherwise, if she finds out, I really won’t be able to clear my name.."

"Get lost! Do you know the name of the ink she just bought?"

"Black Ink?"

Hey! This nephew really is clever. Black ink, isn’t ink supposed to be black?.. Universal and one hundred percent accurate!

Pang Shang rolled his eyes, "That’s Zhi Zhi Ink! And the brush’s nickname is Uncle-Nephew Harmony, which symbolizes the mutual gift of ink and stationery among uncles and nephews to encourage learning and propriety; the uncle gives the nephew inkstone, urging him to progress in learning and etiquette, and the latter gifts the uncle a brush as a sign of filial gratitude... She’s telling us that she knows we are real uncle and nephew! You fool!"

The chubby man was stunned.

Could the goddess really be a deity? She knows all this?

Little did he know that Sui Yi had obtained a witchcraft manuscript which included a section of Face Reading, capable of discerning a person’s nature and life events... Although these uncle and nephew looked starkly different, their blood connection was something that could not be concealed beneath the skin and bones, especially since Pang Shang took great care of the chubby man...

During her visit to Duke Zheng’s Mansion, Sui Yi understood everything, but did not take it to heart much; even in Western Hunan, where the uncle and nephew had pulled off a convincing ruse, they managed to fool everyone.

It must be said that Sui Yi’s composure was truly beyond ordinary; she cared about very little.

At that moment, Sui Yi drove out, quickly contacted Lin Yun to deal with issues at the foundation, and asked her to prepare to hire a manager to handle her finances.

Lin Yun greatly agreed with Sui Yi’s plan. Though she was exceptional in managing companies and market sales, she was completely clueless about the financial aspect. The best managers knew how to advise on investing the client’s assets for profit, like venture capitalists...

But... "Boss, I think one manager might not be enough. Before, just handling Jiangdu Sui Tang Square wasn’t too complicated, but then with Yun Family’s companies coming in, coupled with the capital injected by the Palace Family, and the expansion of the company several times over, plus setting up a company on the Capital City side and news from Xinjiang that mining work has reached halfway, accumulating quite a stash of jade, such massive business and economic flows... A single manager might find it too challenging and unsafe," Lin Yun said.

Unfamiliar with this, Sui Yi asked. "What about someone like Justin?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun smiled, "Mr. Justin belongs to the top-tier international financial managers. He manages the finances for many wealthy individuals, and he’s not alone; he has his own management team and company. It’s just that he has absolute authority. It seems you really appreciate him."

"He is indeed a leader in the industry," Sui Yi acknowledged without denials.

"So, boss, do you want to contact Justin?"

"Not for now."

Lin Yun sensed something in her tone, seemingly Sui Yi did not fully trust this Justin.

Admiring without trusting, as reflected by Sui Yi, indicated Justin was truly extraordinary.

Because subconsciously, Sui Yi believed this man could pose a threat to her—once he managed her finances.

And this was different from Xu Zhengmao, the chubby man, or even Lin Yun... Sui Yi only knew her true intentions.

She was not easy to see through, and Lin Yun, realizing her own limitations, decided not to dwell on it further.

Sui Yi returned to her home and rested for a day, during which the atmosphere in the Capital City became the most tense and bizarre it had been in years.

--Another person had been flayed and killed!

This time, two people died!

An executive from the Maritime Bureau and a politician...

Sui Yi looked at their photos on the news and vaguely remembered having seen this politician at the showcase in Duke Zheng’s Mansion. She hadn’t paid much attention at the time since, despite the crowd, it was normal to see people come and go.

The public discourse, however, was bustling, from crisis theories, conspiracy theories, to even supernatural ones, spanning multiple sectors such as business, politics, entertainment, etc. The attention they drew was beyond imagination, mainly because those who died were from the upper echelons of society, a big draw for the general public; the fact that so many had died at once, and the manner of their deaths, would have been a monumental case in any dynasty or country.
