Chapter 496: Zhang Family

Earlier, I called Liu Cangyun, and Liu Cangyun sent the information Lin Feng needed to Lin Feng's secure email.

This is a document about the Zhang Family of Han Guo.

After reading it, Lin Feng found it even more interesting.

He then went back to his hometown again.

He also had lunch together with Zhao Yiren and Shen Minying.

During the meal, they chatted about everyday matters.

Shen Minying asked Lin Feng what he had been doing these past twenty years.

Lin Feng smiled and replied: "When I was a child, I was actually abducted by someone and became a vagrant. Later I grew up, and the vagrant died, but fortunately I learned some Chinese from that man and worked as a translator for tourists."

It was only when he died that he revealed my identity… Over these years I have also saved some money, planning to buy a set of apartments in Hancheng and then establish a travel company specializing in receiving Huaxia guests.

After Lin Feng finished speaking, the couple gave him a thumbs-up, praising him for being promising.

Then they talked about their own son and daughter, who are already in high school but still clueless, just like little children.

When leaving, Shen Minying asked Lin Feng for his phone number, saying they could stay in touch when free.

But actually she wanted to get Lin Feng's help.

Lin Feng said he wanted to start a company, so once his son and daughter graduate from high school, could Lin Feng help them?

Now the employment pressure in Han Guo is growing ever greater.

Even if there is only a sliver of hope, one must consider for one's children.

The couple wanting a phone number is exactly what Lin Feng hoped for.

Thus Lin Feng left his newly obtained phone number under his new identity.

"This kid really has potential!"

"Yes! He's also good‑looking, like Zheng Shimei's child."

"I think Zhang Shangxun's background is not simple either."

"He's probably an illegitimate child."

"Whose son is he, after all?"

"Forget it, stop guessing—it's been many years already."

After Lin Feng left, the couple talked about him.

Lin Feng stood at the doorway, and after hearing their words, he smiled slightly.

Next comes the second step.

Now it is August 18.

Originally, at the end of the month I was supposed to accompany Guo Yanru and Guo Yanqiu for a prenatal checkup to see the baby's gender, but it looks like it will have to be delayed.

At this time, Lin Feng still couldn't get away.

If this operation succeeds, he will be able to become a Han Guo conglomerate and inherit a large sum of money.

This is far better than robbing a bank for money.

To Lin Feng, this is also a very fun game.

Actually, money is secondary; the real purpose is to play.

August is a difficult time for the Zhang Family of Han Guo.

The over‑seventy‑year‑old Zhang Zaixuan bid farewell to his eldest son, Zhang Xunzhe, who had not yet reached one year of age.

Despite his vast estate, Zhang Zaixuan surprisingly could not find a suitable heir.

He still had two sons and two daughters.

Several of his grandsons and granddaughters are already adults, but years of indulgence have spoiled them completely.

Apart from his eldest son Zhang Xunzhe, none of them are fit to inherit the family business.

Han Guo's economic lifelines are controlled in the hands of many conglomerates.

Zhang Zaixuan is one of them.

He is not a member of just one conglomerate group, but of several.

For example, Mountain Star, Modern, Happy Heaven……

Within these groups, he holds large amounts of shares, either directly or indirectly.

Usually he keeps a low profile, appearing only when the groups make major decisions.

Sometimes he does not even appear; instead, the group members come to see him in person.

Whenever disputes arise between the groups, they often ask Zhang Zaixuan to act as mediator and peacemaker.

Navigating among these groups is not something an ordinary person can do.

Over these years, Zhang Zaixuan has been working hard to cultivate his eldest son, Zhang Xunzhe.

He originally thought that in another two years he would hand over all his affairs to his eldest son, Zhang Xunzhe.

He never expected that Zhang Xunzhe would die suddenly of heart disease.

And Zhang Xunzhe, over all these years, had only one daughter.

Zhang Zaixuan, his hair now completely white, held his son's portrait and wept uncontrollably.

At that moment a steward came over and offered Zhang Zaixuan a few words of advice.

Zhang Zaixuan paid no attention.

The steward's eyes shifted, and he said, "President, there is something I want to tell you; I only learned of this recently……"

The steward's name is Shen Rongcan, and while saying these words he felt somewhat guilty.

Because he had not just recently learned of this; he had known it for many years.

But back then he was not yet Zhang Zaixuan's steward, so he could not speak of it, or else he would bring misfortune upon himself.

Now, all threats are gone.

The wicked wife of Eldest Young Master Zhang Xunzhe had died of illness two years ago.

Only a daughter, Zhang Shangmei, remained.

Zhang Shangmei had a stubborn nature from childhood, just like her mother, and was disliked by Zhang Zaixuan.

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Zaixuan asked, frowning.

Shen Rongcan said: "More than twenty years ago, the Eldest Young Master loved a woman named Zheng Shimei. At that time, that woman was pregnant with the Eldest Young Master's child, a boy."

Back then, the young mistress, unable to conceive for a long time, envied and hated Zheng Shimei, and had someone try to harm her.

After Zheng Shimei got the news, she fled and her whereabouts became unknown.

Afterwards, the Eldest Young Master secretly searched for her, but the young mistress continually thwarted him in secret; I think Zheng Shimei and that child are probably still alive.

After Shen Rongcan finished speaking, he bent over.

Zhang Zaixuan widened his eyes and exclaimed: "Why didn't you say so earlier!!"

"I... I..."

Shen Rongcan didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Zhang Zaixuan let him go, realizing that Shen Rongcan dared not speak of these family matters.

The wife of the eldest son is not an ordinary person.

Even if I had known about this back then, I probably wouldn't have bothered to intervene.

But now it's different.

"Find them!"

Zhang Zaixuan ordered.

"Yes!"

After Shen Rongcan bowed, he immediately left the room.

At this moment, Zhang Zaixuan didn't think about, after finding the eldest grandson back, letting him inherit the family property.

It's just that his son recently died, and he needs a bit of consolation.

In a big family, there are many illegitimate children.

Zhang Zaixuan dare not guarantee whether there might also be his own illegitimate child outside.

August 19.

Zhao Yiren was working at the construction site.

Suddenly, he saw an old telephone pole with an old leather bag pressed underneath it.

He curiously stepped forward and pulled the old leather bag out from under the telephone pole.

This was a leather bag from many years ago, with an old-fashioned style.

Even its zipper was broken.

Upon opening it, he found inside a plastic-wrapped packet.

Opening the plastic packet revealed a stack of money wrapped in old newspaper, outdated banknotes from over twenty years ago.

It amounted to several tens of thousands of han yuan.

Zhao Yiren also didn't know whether such outdated banknotes could still be exchanged for money.

Never mind that for now; he first stuffed the money into his pocket.

Next, he noticed the old newspaper that had wrapped the money...
