Chapter 925: Unknown Source of Funds

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s response, Li San lowered his head, unsure of how to reply. Nearby, Huangfu Ruiling chuckled softly. “It’s not that extreme. In Huangfu Shaohua’s eyes, Zhou Cui’an is just a plaything, not someone he cares about. He’s probably intervening now because he hasn’t tired of her yet!”

“Li San, suppress this matter,” Ye Leng’an said calmly. “There’s no need to inform Huangfu Shaohua about my identity, but the Huangfu family shouldn’t offer him any help in this matter.”

If Huangfu Shaohua were smart, he would suspect something fishy and refrain from interfering. If he were foolish enough to continue, then he deserved the consequences.

Upon receiving Ye Leng’an’s directive, Li San promptly responded with deference, “Yes, Miss Ye.”

In the Huangfu family, Ye Leng’an’s words carried the same weight as Huangfu Ruiling’s, or rather, they held equal positions now.

After Li San left, Huangfu Ruiling seemed to recall something and asked, “Do you remember the Ye family?”

“The Ye family?” Ye Leng’an furrowed her brows. “Has Ye Wanwan caused trouble again?”

“No, the mortal world’s Ye family,” Huangfu Ruiling clarified. “Weren’t they on the verge of bankruptcy? But now, they seem to be doing well.”

Understanding, Ye Leng’an asked further, “Have you found anything?”

“At the time, the Ye family was desperate. Then suddenly, Ye Li received a transfer of 300 million,” Huangfu Ruiling explained, his eyes darkening. “It was this unknown source of funds that pulled the Ye family through their crisis.”

“You couldn’t trace it?” Ye Leng’an sounded surprised. “That’s highly unlikely!”

The Huangfu family wielded considerable influence, even in the capital. It was almost impossible for them to fail to trace the source of the funds, but it had happened.

“That’s the truth,” Huangfu Ruiling confirmed, his eyes reflecting his uncertainty. “The money appeared out of thin air, with no traceable source. I suspect it came from the Hidden World.”

“The Hidden World?” Ye Leng’an’s frown deepened. “That’s impossible. The Ye family has no ties to the Hidden World.”

“We’re still investigating the Hidden World,” Huangfu Ruiling continued. “But uncovering the truth won’t be easy. Money from the mortal world holds little value there.”

In the Hidden World, the common currency was Spirit Coins, where money held little to no value.

Ye Leng’an’s expression grew serious. “This matter is likely more complex. If the Ye family received funds from the Hidden World, there must be something the other party desires.”

If the Ye family indeed had ties to the Hidden World, Ye Leng’an was the only connection. But what kind of connection was it?

Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an shared a knowing look, recognizing the gravity of the situation.

“I’ll continue the investigation, both in the mortal and hidden worlds,” Huangfu Ruiling declared resolutely. “We’ll uncover whatever dealings they have.”

“Focus on the Hidden World investigation,” Ye Leng’an instructed, her eyes cold. “As for the mortal world, we’ll question the Ye family directly.”

Huangfu Ruiling nodded, indicating his agreement. He didn’t delve into Ye Leng’an’s next steps, trusting her to handle the matter.

“Enough about this.” Ye Leng’an stood up, taking Huangfu Ruiling’s hand with a smile. “It’s almost lunchtime. Let’s forget these issues and eat first.”

Allowing Ye Leng’an to hold his hand, Huangfu Ruiling stood up as well.

Together, they left Huangye Group intimately, heading out for lunch.

Though few witnessed the scene, envy was palpable among those who did.

Meanwhile, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an enjoyed their time together, planning to cherish their private moments. But Zhou Cui’an’s mood was far from pleasant.

At present, Zhou Cui’an was under immense pressure.

Ye Leng’an had filed a lawsuit against her, and she had received a court summons. Although she sought help from Huangfu Shaohua, a resolution was not imminent. Moreover, apart from the court’s decision, the school’s stance was causing her more distress.

Originally, she had hoped Huangfu Shaohua’s influence would shield her from school punishment. Yet to her surprise, the school remained unwavering and insisted on disciplinary action.

She couldn’t believe that merely posting a thread would lead to punishment. The disciplinary record would likely haunt her unless she made significant contributions to the school in the future, an unlikely prospect that would mar her job prospects.

The school’s steadfastness caught her off guard, and she anticipated the severity of the punishment, yet to be revealed until after the court’s ruling.

This impending punishment was like a time bomb, leaving her in constant fear. Her distress was evident, leaving her looking worn out.

Now, everyone in school knew she was the one behind the post, leading to increased scrutiny and gossip.

Under the relentless judgment and discussion, Zhou Cui’an felt like a pariah.
