Chapter 397 The Betrayal of a Brother

The胖子 (Pang Zi) breathed a sigh of relief, "May I ask your honorable surname and given name?"

"Ye Tian."

The 胖子 (Pang Zi) said, "The things we do are usually not seen in the light. Since you know, the Cult Master will definitely stop. I will definitely deliver your words."

Ye Tian waved his hand, and the needles on the other person's body all left. He said, "Scram."

After driving away the 胖子 (Pang Zi), Ye Tian returned to the room and patted Lu Chuanxin's shoulder.

Lu Chuanxin was startled and suddenly opened his eyes, asking in surprise, "Why are you in the room?"

Ye Tian motioned for him to sit down and asked, "Do you know someone named Liang Daoming?"

Lu Chuanxin replied, "Yes, he is the second largest shareholder of the group, with a shareholding proportion second only to mine."

After speaking, his expression changed, and he asked, "Brother, have you found something?"

Ye Tian patted his shoulder and said, "Don't rush. Come to my study, we'll have a cup of tea and chat slowly."

Lu Chuanxin had no time for tea and followed Ye Tian behind him dejectedly.

Ye Tian brewed the tea, placed it in front of Lu Chuanxin, and asked, "How many shareholders does Jinyu Group have?"

Lu Chuanxin said, "I am the major shareholder, holding 45.75%. Next is Liang Daoming, holding 12.25%. The third shareholder, Ding Zan, holds 3.2%. The rest are minor shareholders, not worth mentioning."

Ye Tian asked, "What is your relationship with Liang Daoming?"

Lu Chuanxin replied, "Liang Daoming is my university classmate. We worked hard together back then, and he is also the person I trust the most."

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Tian and finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother, tell me quickly, is this related to Liang Daoming?"

Ye Tian nodded, "The current clues indicate that the person who wants to deal with you is very likely Liang Daoming."

Lu Chuanxin was stunned. He seemed unable to believe it was true and murmured, "How is that possible! We are such good brothers. During the most difficult times, he sold his house and car to help me, without asking for anything in return. Would such a person harm me?"

Ye Tian said, "People, sometimes they change."

Liang Daoming even shed tears, saying, "No, I absolutely do not believe he would betray me."

Ye Tian sighed softly, "I know it's hard for you to accept, but it's all true. This Liang Daoming hired people from the Ghost Dao Sect to control you and seize your assets."

He paused, and finally revealed the other matter, "Old Lu, do you remember when I cured your illness?"

Lu Chuanxin nodded, "How could I forget your life-saving grace, brother?"

Ye Tian said, "I discovered at that time that your physique was actually good, and you shouldn't have gotten a terminal illness, yet you did. My judgment then was that you must have been poisoned, and the toxins caused you to get cancer."

Lu Chuanxin trembled all over, "Brother, you mean someone poisoned me?"

Ye Tian said, "Poisoning is a very easy thing to do. Liang Daoming's matter makes me have to suspect if someone deliberately poisoned you back then, which led to you getting cancer."

"This... could it also be Liang Daoming's doing?"

Ye Tian looked at him, "Old Lu, you are ten times smarter than me. Some things don't need me to say, you should also understand. Liang Daoming was indeed your good brother, and perhaps he didn't want this either. But sometimes, people can't help themselves, do you understand?"

"Can't help myself..." Lu Chuanxin narrowed his eyes, seemingly thinking of something.

Ye Tian looked at him, "Think carefully, does Liang Daoming have any reason to betray you?"

Lu Chuanxin was silent for a moment and said, "Two years ago, Liang Daoming's wife died of cancer."

Ye Tian asked, "And then?"

Lu Chuanxin continued, "Then he married a very beautiful woman named Qiu Jie. They got married one month after Liang Daoming's ex-wife died. The first time I saw this woman, I felt uncomfortable, so I didn't like her. However, she is Liang Daoming's wife, so I have always treated her with respect."

Ye Tian asked, "Have you investigated this woman's background?"

Lu Chuanxin replied, "Although it's Liang Daoming's matter, as his brother, I naturally had to find someone to investigate. She comes from a clean background and is a senior executive in a company. Liang Daoming met her at work."
