Chapter 1256: Chapter 1261 Sothing’s Up
“Zhang Yong has a problem!”
After sitting face to face with Anna, Yang Yi said nothing else, but imdiately spoke about sothing seemingly unrelated to their eting.
Anna was taken aback and asked, “What?”
Yang Yi lowered his voice and said, “Zhang Yong has issues; his mindset is problematic.”
Brian was sowhat surprised, and he also lowered his voice, “Impossible, what happened to him?”
Anna raised her hand, then said thoughtfully, “Hmm, Zhang Yong indeed appears a bit unusual. He shouldn’t and doesn’t need to return now, but after I asked him to prepare for possible upcoming battles, he left his work just to see you. And he insisted on seeing you, which is a bit abnormal. What did he say?”
“Zhang Yong asked to find soone to replace him, to take over his work. Do you think that’s normal?”
Anna was very surprised and exclaid, “He’s never ntioned this to .”
Brian imdiately said, “He hasn’t ntioned it to either. Why would he tell you these things?”
Yang Yi seed a bit worried. He leaned back, his face was quite unpleasant, and he said in a low voice, “In the car, he said one thing: ‘better safe than sorry.’ Do you understand what this ans? It ans if you’re prepared, you don’t have to worry about unexpected changes. This was said unintentionally, but he imdiately showed a conscious effort to conceal sothing.”
Anna thought for a while and said, “Given Zhang Yong’s character, he shouldn’t conceal his words. Are you sure it was an attempt to hide sothing?”
“I’m not entirely sure, but I think… No, I am sure he wanted to hide his words.”
Yang Yi took a deep breath, and then with a serious expression, he said, “He asked to find his replacent within six months.”
“Six months? What the heck! How is that possible? Six months isn’t enough to assess loyalty. Wait!”
Brian suddenly looked shocked and then whispered, “Zhang Yong must know six months is not enough. Yet he said that, which ans…”
Anna gave Brian a glance as if saying, ‘You finally figured it out,’ which made Brian too embarrassed to continue.
Actually, Brian’s intelligence isn’t low; he’s the captain of Pandora Box. How could his intelligence be low? But when compared to Anna and Yang Yi, who are both extraordinarily smart people, he seems slightly slow. But you can’t bla him for that.
Anna said gravely, “Recently, I haven’t noticed any abnormalities in Zhang Yong except for this ti. But saying he’d find a replacent within six months…”
“Later, he changed it to a year.”
“Alright, let’s consider it a year then.”
Anna paused and sighed while addressing Yang Yi, “The ti is so specific and urgent, given Zhang Yong’s character… Hmm, what reason did he give?”
“To enjoy life, he wants to go to the casino, embracing beauties and gamble until he loses all his money.”
“He said that?”
“More or less.”
Anna sighed and said, “That basically confirms it. Zhang Yong likes to gamble, but he wouldn’t retire just to gamble. So, he must…”
Anna could have told the answer earlier, but she didn’t say it outright, then she exchanged a look with Yang Yi.
Yang Yi wore a sorrowful expression and said, “Yes, I think the sa.”
Brian beca anxious; he stood up and loudly said, “What are you two doing? Showing off your tacit understanding? Can you speak normally? Can’t you just say what you’re thinking? What is wrong with him!”
Anna sighed and said in a low voice, “Isn’t it obvious? Zhang Yong is sick, probably seriously ill, sothing he cannot overco. Given Zhang Yong’s character, he would not evade issues. For him to voluntarily abandon his responsibilities, he must be unable to continue due to sickness; what else could it be?”
Yang Yi quietly said, “Who knows where Zhang Yong has been recently? Anna, he’s in Africa, where the dical conditions are poor. If he needs dical examination, he should co to Europe; do you know if he has made any unusual moves?”
Anna thought for a mont and then nodded, “A couple of months ago, he ca from Africa to Paris for no apparent reason, then last month, he ca to Paris again and went to London. But this ti, he’s here again. Hmm, even though it’s to see you, abandoning his own matters and rushing here seems a bit abnormal.”
Yang Yi whispered, “I doubt we’d get answers asking him directly.”
Anna nodded, “Why don’t we investigate ourselves?”
“Who should we send to investigate? Hospitals?”
“The workload is too large. We don’t know which hospital he went to, hmm, but we could analyze his activity trajectory.”
“Yes, knowing his entry and exit nas, no, no, let think… he…”
Brian suddenly said, “Enough!”
Anna and Yang Yi both looked at Brian. He didn’t have a triumphant expression; he just said nonchalantly, “Why not just have soone follow him? Since Zhang Yong is here in Paris, if he needs hospital visits, he wouldn’t make another trip, right? We just need to follow him and see where he goes, wouldn’t everything be clear then? Why waste resources on complicated investigations?”
Apparently, this ti Brian made sense, both Yang Yi and Anna seed to have an epiphany, realizing sotis action is the simplest way.
Brian waved his hand and said quietly, “I’ll have soone track Zhang Yong, see what he’s up to.”
Yang Yi sighed and said quietly, “I don’t know if it’s related, but… back in prison, I saw Zhang Yong’s nose was bleeding once.”
“His nose bleeding?”
“Yes.”
Anna thought for a while, then shook her head, “It happened too long ago, and nosebleeds are relatively normal occurrences; they can’t be used as a basis for judgnt.”
Yang Yi beca restless and stood up, “How can this be? How can this be!”
Anna said gravely, “So far, it’s all just speculation.”
Yang Yi understands Zhang Yong well; if he wants to say sothing, he will naturally say it. If he doesn’t want to say, there’s no point in asking. It’s indeed speculation, yet the problem is Zhang Yong isn’t soone who would hide things from Yang Yi and Anna.
People closest to him are likely having major health issues, so much so that he has to start planning for the future.
This is why Yang Yi ignored the purpose of this trip and spoke with Anna about Zhang Yong, because to him Zhang Yong was more important than anything.
Anna knows the importance of Zhang Yong, so she discusses Zhang Yong with Yang Yi instead of other matters.
Things seem problematic, but a final confirmation is necessary. Yang Yi looked at Brian and said quietly, “Deploy more people, no, make sure Zhang Yong doesn’t notice. I’m worried if he finds out, he might even abandon treatnt…”
Brian nodded solemnly.
Yang Yi breathed a sigh and said, “If Brother Yong truly has health issues, then, hmm, there’s hope, still there’s hope!”
