Chapter 582: The Brakes Were Sabotaged

In the entire room, except for First Madam, no one noticed the papers the old man threw away.

After everyone had left, First Madam had someone pick up those papers, looking at the stock trend charts one by one, as well as this lady's investment records.

No matter which transaction it was, it could be called stunning.

She had grown up in a large family and had been trained in these things since childhood, but she did not have such flair, or one could say, she did not have such courage.

"An interesting person."

After First Madam finished looking through the materials, she took them back to her courtyard and handed them to the person beside her.

"Give these materials to the eldest young master, and tell him, do not offend this person," First Madam instructed calmly.

Then, fearing her son would not take it seriously, she added, "Even if you don't befriend her, you must absolutely not offend her."

The person beside her immediately took the materials with both hands, "Yes."

"My mother said this?" Li Kun hadn't paid much attention before, but he had absolute trust in his mother.

If it weren't for his mother's cultivation, he would not be where he is today.

His father was a very faint impression in his mind; when he longed for fatherly love as a child, that nominal father of his had never appeared. It was his mother who had always been by his side.

Therefore, his respect for First Madam was from the bottom of his bones.

"Yes, eldest young master," that person replied respectfully.

Now that the old man's health was poor, the management power of the Li Family had already begun to tilt, and it was not tilting toward the eldest master, but directly toward the eldest young master.

"I know," Li Kun nodded and noted this matter down.

After that person withdrew, Li Kun immediately arranged for people to investigate the lady's whereabouts and the brake incident.

This had to be attributed to An Yinan's X-ray Vision.

"Madam." In the City, everyone was afraid of calling her by the wrong title, so now in private, they all uniformly addressed her as Madam.

Now this title of "Madam" was more like a symbol of a person, rather than just a form of address.

"Mm," An Yinan smiled, looking at his face, which had been tanned somewhat dark, and felt a bit embarrassed.

For these past days, Han Xiao had either been in the car or scouting real estate and shops.

Especially recently, after clearing out the stocks, she had Han Xiao look at several property developments.

However, all the property developments had to be reviewed by her; although she was not an economics major in her past life, she still had some impressions of the history of the City and the major changes that occurred later.

Although the timeline would change, many small things had not changed at all.

"Wait," just as Han Xiao opened the car door, preparing to let An Yinan get in.

She suddenly stopped in her tracks, her entire face looking terrifyingly gloomy.

This Li Family is truly not honest!

"What's wrong?" Han Xiao was a bit confused.

"What did you do today? Did you just drive this car here, or did you put it here in advance?" An Yinan asked two questions.

She still trusted Han Xiao.

But this car...

As for this breath of anger, whoever wants to endure it can endure it; she could not endure it at all.

Seeing An Yinan's expression, Han Xiao also realized something was wrong; he first closed the car door, and then thought about it carefully.

"To make it convenient for you to go out, I put the car here in the morning. At noon, I had an appointment to see a property development nearby, so I left for about an hour to look at it," Han Xiao answered seriously immediately.

"The rest of the time, I didn't leave; I was waiting in the car and doing some data comparisons for the property developments."

He pointed to the cockpit; on the passenger seat, there were many documents that hadn't been put away yet, clearly showing that he had been busy with this matter before she came down.

"The brakes were sabotaged," An Yinan sighed.

In this sweltering environment, cold sweat broke out on Han Xiao, and he even felt some difficulty breathing.

"You two, move aside," Chen Xun told people to leave, then he directly called for men, and several people inspected the brake discs and performed a systematic check on the entire braking system.

Seeing the obvious signs of sabotage, Chen Xun's brows furrowed tightly; he had imagined this lawless city, but he could not imagine such madness.

Just because of a refusal, they could do something like this.

Such a city makes one feel terrified.

"Take it to the repair shop for emergency repairs."

"Bring out the backup car."

"From now on, I will arrange for you to be alone; one reason is to protect you, the other is to protect the car. Someone must be following the car," Chen Xun's face darkened as he arranged the subsequent matters.

Han Xiao immediately agreed, "I understand."

This was also due to his dereliction of duty; if he had checked every time, such a thing would not have happened.

"Don't blame yourself," An Yinan comforted him gently.

This matter really was not his fault.

It was not that she was too saintly, but it was a fact.

She had arranged for Han Xiao to look at houses and shops; now that the car had been tampered with, for her to blame him for leaving would be somewhat unreasonable.

Ever since she made a name for herself at the Exchange, she had been very careful about transport vehicles. Every time before getting in, she would use her X-ray Vision to take a look. As long as her intentions were upright and she wasn't peeking at things she shouldn't, she could use this X-ray Vision to see anything.

She even wanted to go to the Southern Front to see if it would have the same effect on jade raw stones.

"No, if I had driven the car, those people wouldn't have been able to tamper with it," Han Xiao shook his head.

An Yinan smiled, "When someone is prepared and you are not, you cannot dodge it."

"Arrange three cars for tomorrow, all filled with our people. Since they made a move today and didn't succeed, who knows if they have a follow-up plan."

She still had to accompany her two babies as they grew up; she did not want to gamble with her own life.

"Good, I will arrange it," Chen Xun nodded immediately.

The group waited a while for the backup car and left the Exchange directly.

"Madam." Duyanlong and Zhang Pangzi were a bit anxious; they had heard about it.

"You all..."

"Li Zai called home, but you hadn't returned yet, and Duyanlong immediately realized that something might have gone wrong," Zhang Pangzi said hurriedly.

"Is it the Li Family?" Duyanlong had always been a man of few words; since the stocks were sold, he could now be considered a man of some small capital, and Madam had arranged for him to be by her side, only telling him to rest for these few days.

As for Zhang Pangzi, there was no need to mention him; he was already busy with the shop renovations.

He didn't have much money, but when he entered the stock market back then, it was because he had reached a dead end.

Now that he could live a decent life, he didn't want to be like he was before, neither human nor ghost.

"It's not clear yet." An Yinan shook her head; she had already sent people to investigate.

As for whether it was the Li Family, she was basically certain in her heart; in this City, the place she interacted with the most was the Exchange, and in the Exchange, her reputation was quite good—so many people relied on her for their livelihood, it was impossible for them to smash their own rice bowls.

After ruling others out, it could only be the Li Family.
