In the front yard of the Wang family villa.
Within the mourning hall, two coffins were placed.
Wang Yuyan, clad in mourning attire, knelt beside the coffins, bowing her head to each person who came to pay their respects.
In addition to most of the high-ranking officials of the Wang Corporation, many influential figures from Jiangbei City were also present.
"Niece Yuyan! Uncle Jianhua is here!" A voice, familiar yet loathed by Wang Yuyan, suddenly boomed from the main gate.
Guo Jianhua strode into the courtyard with his faction of Wang Corporation personnel.
Guo Jianhua, with a sorrowful expression, approached the coffins and sighed softly.
"Niece, to see you alive has finally eased my heart, your uncle!"
Seeing the hypocritical Guo Jianhua, Wang Yuyan's eyes blazed with fury. The hatred for the murderers of her father and grandfather was irreconcilable; she wished she could kill him right now, tear him apart, and drink his blood.
Qin Xuan, standing behind her, patted her shoulder, bringing her back to reality.
Suppressing her loathing, Wang Yuyan, feigning calmness, bowed to Guo Jianhua.
Soon, the front yard was crowded.
While not all of them came with genuine condolences, the majority were people who had been on good terms with Wang Youhai during his lifetime.
"Yuyan, please accept my condolences."
"Girl, if you need any help in the future, just tell this old man."
"Alas, the old master and Brother Hong met with misfortune. Yuyan, please accept my condolences."
"Thank you, thank you all for coming to mourn my grandfather and father." Wang Yuyan replied with tears, bowing her head in gratitude.
Guo Jianhua then stepped forward and said to Wang Yuyan,
"Niece Yuyan, you don't have any other relatives now, do you?"
Hearing this, Wang Yuyan's expression changed. Wiping her tears, she said angrily,
"What do you mean?"
Guo Jianhua quickly waved his hand and explained,
"Niece Yuyan, you've misunderstood me. What I meant was that since the old master and Brother Hong have just passed, their shares in the company have all fallen to you. You are still young, so I want to temporarily manage the shares for you. When you are experienced enough, I will return them to you."
As soon as he said this, not only did Wang Yuyan want to slap this scoundrel, but the mourners also began to condemn Guo Jianhua with disgust.
"Guo, Wang's old master's bones are not yet cold, and you're already eyeing his granddaughter's shares?"
"Director Guo, this is quite unethical of you."
"Guo Jianhua, have you no shame? To set your sights on the Wang Corporation so quickly, it's not related to the demise of the old master and his son, is it?"
Guo Jianhua sneered, sweeping his sharp gaze over everyone, and said coldly,
"Wang Hong was my sworn brother. His daughter is my daughter. This is a family matter, so why do you need to interfere?"
With that, the two bodyguards behind Guo Jianhua stepped forward, their hands resting on their bulging waists, glaring fiercely at the crowd.
Everyone knew what was hidden beneath their bulging waists, and many who had intended to scold Guo Jianhua immediately shut their mouths.
After all, Guo Jianhua was now the top figure in the Wang Corporation, holding the position of chairman and wielding great power. There were truly few present who dared to offend him.
Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Guo Jianhua smiled with satisfaction and turned back to Wang Yuyan, continuing,
"Niece, what do you think of my proposal? Don't worry, I will only temporarily hold the shares for you, and I will return them later. Moreover, I know you must be in a difficult situation. So, after the old master and his son are buried, I will transfer two hundred million to you to help with your living expenses."
Guo Jianhua's intention was clear: two hundred million in exchange for Wang Yuyan's forty percent stake in the Wang Corporation.
"Guo Jianhua, you bastard, you wish! Give me back the lives of my father and grandfather!" Wang Yuyan, already enraged, exploded in curses upon hearing Guo Jianhua's words.
"I want you to pay for my grandfather and father's lives!"
As she yelled, she drew a fruit knife from behind her and lunged at Guo Jianhua. Qin Xuan quickly restrained her.
Guo Jianhua stumbled backward in fear, and his two bodyguards immediately stepped forward to protect their master.
"Wang Yuyan, don't be unreasonable. I know you are very sad, and I also regret the deaths of your grandfather and father. But don't make false accusations! Otherwise, don't think that because you are my sworn brother's daughter, I won't discipline you!"
Just as he finished speaking, another commotion arose from the entrance.
It was Li Shengtian, leading a group of people dressed in suits but exuding an air of hooliganism.
Upon entering the courtyard, Li Shengtian's group fanned out, surrounding the area.
Li Shengtian, however, walked directly to the coffins and smiled at Wang Yuyan.
"I apologize for being late. I haven't missed the memorial service yet, have I?"
Wang Yuyan clenched her fists, glaring at Li Shengtian. If Guo Jianhua was the mastermind, then this Li Shengtian was the primary culprit responsible for the murders of her grandfather and father.
"What do you want here? You're not welcome." Wang Yuyan struggled to suppress her anger, preventing it from erupting.
Li Shengtian bowed to the two coffins with feigned sincerity, then said,
"Niece Yuyan, how can you say that? No matter what, I am a partner of your Wang Corporation. With the unfortunate passing of Old Master Wang and Wang Hong, I had to come and pay my respects."
"Pah!" Wang Yuyan spat.
"Hmph, Li Shengtian, you didn't expect this, did you? That I would escape, and that I have obtained evidence of your murder of my grandfather and father. You and Guo Jianhua, with your wolfish ambitions, will rot in hell!"
"Heh heh, niece Yuyan, you are joking," Li Shengtian's brows furrowed, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Initially, the crowd was a bit bewildered by Wang Yuyan's words, but now they vaguely understood.
Wang Youhai and Wang Hong's deaths were related to Guo Jianhua and Li Shengtian.
They never expected it to be an inside job!
Despite seeing through it, no one dared to speak. After all, the courtyard was surrounded by Li Shengtian's men, and Guo Jianhua's two bodyguards had bulging waists, hinting at deadly weapons.
Disregarding Qin Xuan's attempts to stop her, Wang Yuyan broke free from his arm and cursed at the two men,
"Guo Jianhua, Li Shengtian, you two murderers! One sent people to assassinate my grandfather and father, and the other found people to kidnap me. That way, the Wang Corporation would fall into your hands."
"Guo Jianhua, my grandfather and father treated you well, yet you treated them like this? Truly malicious!"
"Do you think you have foolproofed everything? Hmph, today I will expose your true faces to the public!"
Saying this, Wang Yuyan took out the phone on which Guan Rou had recorded the conversation, and played it. It was the recording of their secret phone call that day.
Although Li Shengtian's voice was somewhat faint, the silence in the venue allowed everyone to vaguely hear it.
