Mentioning the strangeness between Bai Hui and her husband indeed reminded the man of something.
He recalled, "My elder brother has always been fond of Bai Hui and never threw a tantrum at her, but once during a family gathering, I saw them arguing in the garden."
Sang Li asked, "What were they arguing about?"
The man took a deep breath, trying hard to recall before he remembered something.
"It seemed to be about some big business deal. Bai Hui said she could take the Zhang Family to the next level, but my brother looked very upset. He even shook off Bai Hui’s hand, saying... absolutely not."
The man continued, "He seemed to also advise Bai Hui... telling her not to make mistakes repeatedly, or else not to blame him for being unkind."
Sang Li had a rough idea in his mind.
"Can you say roughly how many years ago that was?"
"I can’t remember, but... one thing I remember clearly is that the argument happened after the Bai Family went bankrupt and left," the man recalled.
Sang Li became more certain of his thoughts.
He calmly looked at the man.
The man was surprised: "Mr. Sang, are you suggesting that Bai Hui wanted to drag my brother into the Bai Family’s mess?"
"I think that’s very likely, and it caused a rift between them; otherwise, why would he suddenly leave the company to you at the peak of his career? Clearly, he also felt Bai Hui was unreliable," Sang Li said.
"How could she become like this?" The man found it hard to accept.
Putting himself in his brother’s shoes, Zhang’s father truly loved Bai Hui.
Even as a woman, Bai Hui shouldn’t have been so ruthless even if she wasn’t moved.
More so as they were husband and wife.
Sang Li continued, "Later, did your brother do anything else? Knowing the kind of person he was, if he discovered Bai Hui’s involvement with the Bai Family’s business, he wouldn’t have done nothing. Think about whether he behaved unusually?"
The man struggled to recall the past and suddenly stood up, slapping the table.
"My brother traveled frequently that year; although they matched with company projects, previously, he prioritized spending time with the kids and giving us more exercise opportunities, and wouldn’t travel so frequently otherwise."
"Do you remember where he traveled?" Sang Li asked.
The man took out his phone: "I have work records; let me check."
Because he greatly respected Zhang’s father, he preserved all their work exchanges.
The man reported the locations Zhang’s father traveled, which happened to align with the Bai Family’s industrial chain.
After pondering for a few seconds, Sang Li said, "If I’m not mistaken, the first person who wanted to eliminate the Bai Family was your brother; he wasn’t on a business trip but was collecting evidence."
The man was stunned.
The rest of the matter, he could infer on his own.
"If Bai Hui knew about this, given her loyalty to the Bai Family, she would certainly try to stop it, hence the car accident my brother had..."
"Hmm."
That’s also what Sang Li thought.
Given Zhang’s father’s affection for Bai Hui, she didn’t need to act so fast unless there was an unavoidable reason.
If it could be proven that Bai Hui was connected to Zhang’s father’s death.
Perhaps then, one could investigate any business relations between Bai Hui and the Bai Family, and if any were found, Bai Hui’s fate would be to reunite with the Bai Family in prison.
That’s the outcome Sang Li wanted as well.
The man clutched the letter on the table, filled with the family’s entrusted instructions and trust.
He said angrily, "I will never let Bai Hui succeed."
"Now that Zhang Shutong is already in, only Zhang Jia is left. Either he obediently obeys Bai Hui, or he’ll become the next Zhang Shutong, meaning your brother’s entrustment is also ended."
Sang Li could tell the man was loyal and emotional.
After reading the letters, instead of dwelling on the will, he kept his eyes on the letters Zhang’s father left.
The man said bitterly, "I will take care of Zhang Shutong and Zhang Jia. Mr. Sang, what do you need me to do?"
Sang Li told him about Bai Hui’s recent activities.
The man refocused his thoughts: "I will definitely stop it; I will not let the Zhang Family become another Bai Family."
Sang Li knew he had found the right person.
