Wei Yumeng heard that Zhan Mohan had spoken about the day's events, and Zhan Yangyi had suddenly taken leave from the company and returned home.
Based on their understanding of Zhan Yangyi, he was meticulous in his work, a trait he shared greatly with Zhan Mohan.
What's more, such a sudden leave was exceedingly rare.
This indicated how troublesome the matter he had encountered must be.
"Mohan, I'm a little worried." Wei Yumeng's eyelids had been twitching non-stop since earlier.
Zhan Mohan also frowned. Although he hadn't directly asked Zhan Yangyi about the progress of the matter, Zhan Yichen frequently visited Zhan Yangyi and shared almost everything he knew with Zhan Mohan.
"Big Brother should be able to handle it," Zhan Mohan said indifferently.
After all, they couldn't offer any real help in this matter.
"Mohan, what have you been doing since a while ago?"
Wei Yumeng ended the previous topic, as her worry was just idle fretting.
Zhan Mohan's expression was difficult to decipher. Wei Yumeng felt it must be something important, and likely not work-related.
She had no choice but to walk over herself and look at Zhan Mohan's computer screen. The content on it startled Wei Yumeng as well.
"Mohan, is it true?" Wei Yumeng could hardly believe it.
Since Old Master Zhan's passing, they had all accepted the matter and no one had questioned how Old Master Zhan had died.
After all, Old Master Zhan had been in poor health at the time, and could have passed away at any moment due to unforeseen circumstances.
"Yes, these are Fang Xun's investigation results. There shouldn't be any issues," Zhan Mohan said, his brow furrowed even deeper.
Only then did Wei Yumeng realize that Zhan Mohan's earlier frown wasn't due to Zhan Yangyi's situation, but rather this matter.
"I didn't think much of it initially, but I asked Dr. Vinson, and my grandfather's death doesn't quite align with the pathology. My grandfather was in decent condition that day, and shouldn't have passed away that same night."
Hearing this, Wei Yumeng felt a chill run down her spine. Based on Fang Xun's investigation results and Zhan Mohan's words, it was almost certain that there might have been foul play involved in Old Master Zhan's death.
Wei Yumeng dared not think: "Who would do such a thing?"
As this question was posed, Zhan Mohan's face grew even darker.
Wei Yumeng was startled by Zhan Mohan's reaction: "Mohan, have you... already figured out who it is?"
Zhan Mohan remained silent, merely clenching his fist tightly.
Just then, Zhan Mohan's phone rang.
Sensing that something was amiss with Zhan Mohan, Wei Yumeng answered the phone for him.
"Big Brother, is something wrong?"
On the other end of the line, Zhan Yangyi's voice was unexpectedly dejected: "Yutong... Yutong is missing..."
"What?" Wei Yumeng could hardly believe it.
However, she still rushed to Zhan Yangyi's home with Zhan Mohan.
Zhan Yangyi sat on the sofa, his face full of dejection: "I took the opportunity today to tell Yutong about the inheritance. I didn't expect her reaction to be so much greater than I imagined. I only left for a moment, and then..."
"Big Brother, don't worry. Sister-in-law is heavily pregnant and shouldn't have gone far. I've already arranged for bodyguards to search for her. Don't worry," Zhan Yichen comforted him.
Wei Yumeng and Mu Linjing also inspected Chen Yutong's room and found that her clothes and makeup had been taken.
It was less a disappearance and more a case of leaving home.
"Yumeng, do you think we were too much?" Mu Linjing couldn't help but think, "Perhaps we should have agreed to Sister-in-law's proposal at the time, and this wouldn't have happened."
In Mu Linjing's heart, she truly didn't care about that inheritance.
Wei Yumeng didn't reply. Although she didn't care either, she still believed that those were Old Master Zhan's arrangements, and they should respect the old man's final decision.
She turned to Mu Linjing: "There's no right or wrong in this matter. It's more that none of us understood why she would do this. If we knew the core reason, that would be the key to resolving this issue."
Mu Linjing also nodded. They had always thought that Chen Yutong was fighting for the inheritance due to her family's situation.
But now that Zhan Yangyi's situation had been resolved, there must be some reason they didn't know.
Zhan Mohan had not said a word since arriving at Zhan Yangyi's home. He simply sat on the sofa, waiting, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.
Zhan Yichen still noticed something was off with him and asked, "Brother, why aren't you saying anything?"
Zhan Mohan merely glanced at him briefly before looking back at Zhan Yangyi.
If his guess was correct, Old Master Zhan's death was likely related to Zhan Yangyi's family.
At the time, Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong were the last to leave. According to the doctor, they had been told that the old man was resting when they left, so they tried not to disturb him.
But the old man passed away that night. How could he not be suspicious?
However, even if everything pointed to Zhan Yangyi's family, it couldn't be confirmed whether Zhan Yangyi or Chen Yutong was more likely involved.
Moreover, it was indeed a difficult time for Zhan Yangyi back then. If Old Master Zhan passed away, a considerable inheritance would fall to them.
Therefore, the most likely reason for their actions was money.
"Brother?" Zhan Yichen felt that Zhan Mohan's expression was strange and he was clearly absent-minded.
Zhan Mohan finally shook his head: "It's nothing. I've already asked Fang Xun to report it to the police. Zhan Corporation will also be searching all over the city. As long as she's still in Pengcheng, she won't escape."
Although these words seemed to be about searching for someone, his tone made Zhan Yichen shudder, as if he wasn't looking for someone, but hunting them.
Zhan Yangyi, however, did not notice Zhan Mohan's difference. He was consumed by anxiety and restlessness over Chen Yutong's departure.
Zhan Yichen looked at Zhan Yangyi, then at Zhan Mohan, and felt that this matter was far more complicated than he knew.
He could only find another time to ask Zhan Mohan for clarification.
They waited in the house for about an hour. Zhan Yangyi finally couldn't sit still any longer. He personally walked out of the house to search for places Chen Yutong might have gone.
"Yutong!"
He shouted Chen Yutong's name loudly, but received no response.
Only the people on the street looked at him with strange expressions.
But he no longer cared.
Zhan Mohan and the others followed him, asking about many places, but there was still no news.
It was as if Chen Yutong had anticipated their search and had gone into hiding.
