Guan Lei chuckled and said, “That’s good.”

“What did you want to see me about?” Li Zhe asked.

Guan Lei then took out a document from the table next to the wheelchair and handed it to Li Zhe. “This is the progress report on the investigation into the attack. Take a look.”

Li Zhe took the document and immediately opened it. After a while, he said,

“You’re saying that the person who attacked Ah Yu was Chen Hai from Youcheng Construction?”

“That’s the only lead we have so far. Back then, the Chen family was almost bankrupted by Meng Yu in a bid to secure the project. Chen Hai’s only son wanted to take revenge on Meng Yu, but he was falsely accused and ended up dying in prison. So I think Chen Hai is seeking revenge for his son,” Guan Lei analyzed.

“Of course, it was also related to my brother’s death ten years ago. Chen Hai, who hadn’t gone into business yet, was working under my grandfather during the power transition. He switched sides at the last minute, resulting in a tie and giving the Gu family the power to compete for the leadership position, ” Guan Lei continued.

It must be admitted that over the years, Meng Yu had done a lot to avenge his brother. He used legitimate means to target anyone who was involved in his brother’s death. These actions had put Meng Yu in the spotlight and earned him many enemies.

Just like Chen Hai nowadays, in the struggle for political power, there were always unavoidable casualties. But in Meng Yu’s eyes, since political struggles were inevitable, so were business battles.

So as long as it was Chen Hail s project, Meng Yu would seize it until the other side was ruined, and then he will be satisfied. But he didn’t expect that Chen

Hai’s son, Chen Shu, would think it was Li Zhe’s order and seek revenge on Li Zhe.

Meng Yu then discovered the illegal activities that Chen Shu had been doing in secret and sent him to jail.

Chen Hai had only one son, who died violently in prison, so naturally, he couldn’t let Meng Yu go.

Guan Lei felt mixed emotions towards Menz Yu. He hated Menz Yu’s existence, hated his brother’s death because of Meng Yu, and hated the once happy family that became chaotic because of Meng Yu and his mother’s appearance.

But Meng Yu was not intentional, so even Guan Lei couldn’t decide how to treat him.

Those who supported the Gu family ten years ago, including the Gu family themselves, were also watching Meng Yu’s movements. However, since Meng Yu had been protected by the Gu and Li families, those people also feared acting recklessly.

Li Zhe continued with Guan Lei’s words: “So Ah Yu included the Chen family as one of the culprits who killed your brother. If it weren’t for Chen Hail s defection, the Gu family wouldn’t have the strength to confront your grandfather, and naturally wouldn’t take the risk to compete for the position of chief. With Chen Hai’s support, the situation was at a stalemate. As long as they can capture your brother and threaten your grandfather to give up supporting his chosen candidate, then the Gu family will be almost guaranteed to win.”

“Yes, even if the other party used Meng Yu to expose my grandfather’s scandal of having an illegitimate child and a chaotic private life, it may not necessarily make my grandfather change his mind so quickly. But if my brother was being held hostage, the nature of the situation would have been different. That’s why those people are torturing Meng Yu, to get to my brother.” Guan Lei sighed after finishing his words.

Li Zhe remained silent for a long time, unable to untangle the accounts between Meng Yu and the Guan family.

Guan Lei pointed to the information and continued: “However, there is a doubt.

You can look over here. I suspected that there were still people behind Chen Hai, who knew about the relationship between Meng Yu and the Guan family. I asked my mother and grandmother, and they promised my grandfather that they wouldn’t touch Meng Yu, so they didn’t pay special attention to where he was.”

Li Zhe’s face went grave as he questioned: “But Meng Yu has been following you for years, your mother and grandmother should know where you are, so Meng Yu should be nearby.”

Guan Lei nodded and said, “I used to think the same way, but the reality is not like that. Meng Yu has always been following me in secret. Except for my grandfather, my parents and grandmother didn’t know about it. And if they knew that Meng Yu was secretly following me, they would definitely intervene. After all, they have always believed that Meng Yu’s existence is to eliminate my brother and me so that he can inherit the Guan family. Thus they wouldn’t let me be in uncertain danger.”

Li Zhe agreed with Guan Lei’s perspective. If the people of the Guan family knew that Meng Yu had been secretly following Guan Lei, they would not think that Meng Yu was protecting him, but would instead think that Meng Yu was looking for an opportunity to harm Guan Lei..
