She knew the Wei family was not an ordinary family. As early as hundreds of years ago, they were already a prestigious clan in their hometown. Later, they moved to Taiwan and continued to flourish.
”No, they didn’t think so.”
”How do you know?
He revealed a smile devoid of any mirth and continued: “My father had a virtue that was also his fatal flaw. Although he didn’t have grand capabilities, he had the ability to recognize talent. Unfortunately, even the heavens gave him imperfect eyes. He could see a person’s talent but couldn’t see through their hidden wolf-like ambitions.
Those three people at the time planned several large-scale projects, sought investment from my father, recommended him as the person in charge, and he injected a large amount of funds, unconditionally trusting them and letting them lead everything. As a result, they took the money but didn’t complete a single project. By the time my father discovered this, the Wei family’s funds had long since entered their pockets, and they even used cunning and illegal methods to completely drain the Wei family’s resources.

Where was the top-tier luxury residence? I didn’t know what my father was surprised about in the rain. I only saw his face turning red, unable to say a word. He immediately took me home and then…” He pointed to the magnificent marble-decorated foyer.
“Soaking wet, he rushed in, and the police swarmed him, pulling out an arrest warrant. My mother and sister-in-law were crying at the staircase. My father’s three friends stood there, smiling at him. He suddenly realized everything, was overwhelmed with anger, suffered a heart paralysis, and died on the spot.”
Qing Yan could barely catch her breath. “You witnessed his death with your own eyes?”
“Yes.”
Good heavens! This must have had a tremendous impact on him. She didn’t know what he was like before, but when she went with her father to find him fourteen years ago, he had a young face and young physique, yet his eyes were deep as the sea, seemingly containing too many emotions that no one could penetrate.
