After grinning foolishly for a while, it finally dawned on him the most important matter at hand. He hurriedly pulled out a USB flash drive, "That’s right, boss, I’ve copied all the related data onto this."
"You, go take a break. Once you’ve had a good sleep and wake up, I’ll treat you to a big al!"
Xiao Yi took the USB flash drive, but at this mont, the previous excitent was gone. He simply slid it into his pocket, his gaze fixed on Fatty Tang with a look full of concern and worry on his face.
However, to his relief, after observing for a while, he noticed that Fatty Tang’s physical condition was fairly robust. Although the last few sleep-deprived days had taken their toll, creating quite a bit of excess heat in his body, there was no fundantal harm done. With a day or two of rest, he should be able to recover gradually.
Only after confirming that Fatty Tang would not have any significant health issues did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Alright, boss, then I will head back first. Call if anything cos up," Fatty Tang said, without further ado, simply nodding his head.
"Yeah, go on, get so rest. Don’t think about anything. I’ll take care of the school matters for you," Xiao Yi said, nodding and giving one last reminder.
He watched Fatty Tang’s figure disappear around the corner of the street before Xiao Yi gently wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye. For the first ti, he realized just how imposing Fatty Tang’s figure was, and his heart was filled with an indescribable sense of emotion.
Without a doubt, among Xiao Yi’s friends, Fatty Tang should be considered the most ordinary and unremarkable one. In fact, at the beginning, Xiao Yi hadn’t intended to befriend him; he was just amusingly making his acquaintance at best, perhaps feeling sowhat thankful for his enthusiastic introductions. Over ti, as he got to know him better, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but feel disdain for his timidity until the day he ca back with two bricks, and Xiao Yi slowly accepted him as a friend.
But in reality, although they joked around endlessly and truly regarded each other as friends, Xiao Yi had always treated Fatty Tang more like a younger brother who needed his protection and care, rather than an equal. This was because he never thought to ask for his help with anything.
This wasn’t anything negative about Xiao Yi; it’s just that he was not soone who made friends easily. Almost every one of his friends before coming to G City had been made amidst life-and-death trials and the chaos of war.
It wasn’t until he ca to G City and t Wang Qingqing, Fatty Tang, and the others that he began to interact with ordinary people and form friendships...
At this mont, however, as he watched Fatty Tang’s silly grin, Xiao Yi suddenly felt an emotion that was every bit as profound as the trust and bonding forged in life-or-death situations and warti!
He had no doubt that if Fatty Tang hadn’t managed to get the work done today, he would have kept at it indefinitely, until he collapsed in front of the computer...
"This silly fatty!" Xiao Yi took a while to co back to his senses, muttering the phrase with a smile that was almost a cry on his face.
He knew that from today onwards, Fatty Tang was no longer just the junior he needed to look after, but a true friend who he could trust to have his back in critical monts!
After a long while, Xiao Yi cald his emotions, took a deep breath, and turned to get back into his car.
With the data in hand, the next steps were much simpler. He believed that the person pulling the strings behind the scenes, no matter how cunning, would not be able to erase those data...
I want to see who has been playing tricks behind the back!
A cold and deadly intent flickered in the corners of Xiao Yi’s eyes.
Returning to Azure Waterfront, Xiao Yi didn’t rush to open the data Fatty Tang gave him. Instead, he went back to his room and sat on the bed, closing his eyes and beginning his practice until he felt that his essence, vitality, and spirit were in their best state and the fatigue of the past few days had fully recovered. Only then did he get off the bed, open the laptop in his room, and insert the USB flash drive given to him by Fatty Tang.
The mont the USB was inserted, Xiao Yi felt his heart skip a beat. The answers he had sought for so long might erge at this mont. Even he found it hard to keep his composure.
After a while, he took a deep breath, cald his emotions, and his gaze started scanning the lines of data on the computer screen, becoming more focused.
....................................
"Sir Zeng, the experts have all arrived; they’re waiting in the conference room!" a police officer reported respectfully to Zeng Xiaoi in her office, then spoke out loud.
"OK!" Zeng Xiaoi nodded in satisfaction, stood up, and grabbing the USB flash drive on her desk, turned and left her office.
As she stepped out of the office, her heart swelled with excitent, clutching the USB drive as though it was not just a drive but a key that could unlock all her mysteries.
This was a set of data she had just managed to obtain from the exchange, and even with her resources and background, it had taken quite a bit of effort.
She believed that all of the puzzles should be solvable with this set of data, the only problem was that she wasn’t an economist and wasn’t very familiar with the figures, so she had sought the help of several well-known experts in this area from G City, authoritative figures.
She was convinced that the answer she sought would erge very soon!
This ti, I’ll make sure you have nowhere to hide!
Zeng Xiaoi’s delicate white hands couldn’t help but clench a bit tighter, her eyes shooting a faint beam of excited light.

"Big brother, what should we do now?"
Li Ziming looked at Li Ziyoung, who was furrowing his brows in front of him, his eyes filled with so much urgency that they were nearly brimming with tears. Just less than half an hour ago, he had received a phone call informing him that several securities experts from G City had all been summoned by the city’s criminal investigation departnt to assist in the investigation of an economic case.
Considering the rumors circulating lately, there was no doubt that this case was their own!
What did this an?
It ant that their actions were about to be exposed! He had been involved in the entire operation at the ti, and although Li Ziyoung had been careful to leave so backdoors and hadn’t directly used the Li Group’s companies to acquire Jianguo Group’s stocks, none of that mattered anymore. He believed that as long as the investigation continued, they would eventually trace it back to those ultimately pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
As a mber of the Li family, he was no stranger to such matters; he knew all too well that there were many mysteries and unsolved cases in this world that remained unclear only because so people preferred not to dig into them – if one was determined to investigate, even the Qing Dynasty’s top ten mysteries would yield clear answers!
And this ti, judging by the determination shown by Zeng Xiaoi and her team, they were hell-bent on getting to the bottom of it!
The Li family might soon be facing a crisis from which they could not recover!
"What are you panicking about? Even if they trace it back to us, so what? We are only suspects. As long as we insist that we didn’t do it, what can they possibly do to us? As long as they don’t catch the real culprit, they can’t touch us!"
Li Ziyoung glanced at his brother with a look of disdain and snorted coldly.
"But..."
Li Ziming was taken aback and wanted to say more, but was abruptly interrupted by Li Ziyoung.
"Just rember, all of this has nothing to do with us, got it? No matter when, no matter who you face! You must insist that all of this has nothing to do with us!"
Li Ziyoung stared at Li Ziming with a chilling gaze that beca increasingly shadowy.
These policen were truly botherso; in recent days, they had incessantly pestered them with questions, and now they even wanted to examine their transaction data!
That damned Zeng family, did they really want to wipe out the Li family once and for all?
If they truly angered him, he would be ready for mutual destruction. Others might fear Zeng Xiaoi, but he, Li Ziyoung, did not. She was just soone who had recently entered the Bone Tempering Period, while he was already on the verge of stepping into the Middle Tier of Bone Tempering – if it ca to demonstrating real power, he was assuredly superior to Zeng Xiaoi!
"I... yes!"
Seeing the look on Li Ziyoung’s face, Li Ziming reluctantly nodded, but in his heart, he had already decided that no matter what, he had to inform their grandfather about the current situation – one wrong move, and the Li family could be dood!
Li Ziyoung, unaware of Li Ziming’s expression and thoughts, turned away after seeing Li Ziming nod his agreent. He gazed pensively at the myriad lights ahead, his eyes gradually growing sterner.
These police officers really had too much free ti on their hands!
An unsuccessful assassination attempt, and they were still doggedly pursuing it!
Since you have so much leisure ti to the point of annoyance, then I will find sothing to keep you busy!
.......................................
The Li family!
The Li Group!
Looking at the data on the screen before him, Xiao Yi’s expression grew colder and colder. After a day of analysis, Xiao Yi’s attention finally focused entirely on the Li Group. He was almost completely certain that this case was certainly related to the Li family! (To be continued.
