Planning to enjoy a week at the resort before heading back, on the third morning, the assistant hurriedly found Guan Su Lin while on the phone.
The assistant's expression was grave as he leaned in and whispered something in his ear. Guan Su Lin immediately threw on his coat, ready to leave, but hesitated for a brief two seconds before turning back to Zheng Mengni, wanting to take her along.
He pulled her into a corner, seemingly unwilling for outsiders to overhear their conversation. With an apologetic look, he said, "I'm sorry, Zheng Mengni. Something urgent has come up that I need to handle immediately. I wanted you and Guan Miao to continue having fun, but you know how her brother is. I really can't leave you here alone."
Zheng Mengni reassured him gently, "It's fine. Guan Miao is friendly; I'll be okay with her. But what about you? Is it a serious matter? Can you handle it?"
The assistant came over again, urging Guan Su Lin quietly, his face pale with concern. "Having Miss Zheng around might be dangerous; it's better to leave her here."
After careful consideration, Guan Su Lin decided not to insist. He simply told Zheng Mengni not to worry and promised to take her somewhere fun once everything was settled.
Guan Su Lin left early in the morning with the assistant, driving away from the villa while a large group of people remained confused about what had just happened.
Zheng Mengni withdrew her gaze and lightly turned her attention to Tan Yan, who sat quietly in a corner of the sofa like a piece of exquisite jade—warm and delicate. His brows and eyes always carried a subtle glow, cool and reserved.
Tan Yan was indeed perceptive; without Zheng Mengni needing to say anything explicitly, he quickly guessed her thoughts. He maneuvered through this tumultuous family with the guise of being blind. Even under constant surveillance, he had his ways of accomplishing what he needed.
Guan Su Lin's troubles were undoubtedly connected to Tan Yan.
The next morning, the truth came to light as everyone realized what had happened after seeing the news report.
Especially Guan Qingmo, whose mouth nearly split from grinning; his schadenfreude was both annoying and amusing.
A factory under Guan Su Lin's name had experienced a significant accident—last month a batch of goods was exposed for failing inspections. While preparing for a second check, the truck responsible for transporting the goods overturned on its way, leaving no survivors.
Some netizens maliciously speculated on public platforms, causing an uproar by sharply asserting that Guan Su Lin had resorted to underhanded tactics to evade compensation and protect his reputation by deliberately destroying evidence. Such callous disregard for human life was truly sinister and chilling.
In response, Guan Su Lin immediately arranged for a top-notch public relations team to issue a statement of apology and personally visited the families of the affected employees to offer comfort and compensation, promising a thorough investigation into the accident.
At that time, Guan Su Lin began an internal investigation and gathered evidence meticulously. He verified all documents related to the problematic batch—material lists, inspection reports, sales records—but found nothing amiss. The person behind this frame-up had handled everything so cleanly that no opportunity was left for Guan Su Lin to prove his innocence.
Guan Su Lin understood that merely digging for clues would only make him more passive, ultimately being led by the nose by the unseen puppet master was not a solution. With the division of the inheritance approaching, he could no longer waste time on proving his innocence in such a trivial matter. He needed to find a way to divert the blame and silence the gossip.
The next day, a larger scandal broke out, exposing Guan Su Lin's loyal old minister as a scapegoat. He knew that this approach was indeed despicable and lacking in humanity. However, given the circumstances, there was no faster or more efficient way to resolve the situation. He had no choice but to sever his own arm to seize an opportunity from despair.
Guan Su Lin had also roughly guessed the intentions behind this scheme; the person who set the trap was eagerly waiting for this outcome. They anticipated that he would chill people's hearts, that those around him would take advantage of his misfortune, and that he would be condemned by those closest to him. Who had the time and energy to plot against him like this?
