Reborn to outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight

Chapter 1142: Coordinated Attack Inside and Out

Mentioning the strangeness between Bai Hui and her husband indeed reminded the man of something.

He recalled, "My elder brother has always been fond of Bai Hui and never threw a tantrum at her, but once during a family gathering, I saw them arguing in the garden."

Sang Li asked, "What were they arguing about?"

The man took a deep breath, trying hard to recall before he remembered something.

"It seemed to be about some big business deal. Bai Hui said she could take the Zhang Family to the next level, but my brother looked very upset. He even shook off Bai Hui’s hand, saying... absolutely not."

The man continued, "He seemed to also advise Bai Hui... telling her not to make mistakes repeatedly, or else not to blame him for being unkind."

Sang Li had a rough idea in his mind.

"Can you say roughly how many years ago that was?"

"I can’t remember, but... one thing I remember clearly is that the argument happened after the Bai Family went bankrupt and left," the man recalled.

Sang Li became more certain of his thoughts.

He calmly looked at the man.

The man was surprised: "Mr. Sang, are you suggesting that Bai Hui wanted to drag my brother into the Bai Family’s mess?"

"I think that’s very likely, and it caused a rift between them; otherwise, why would he suddenly leave the company to you at the peak of his career? Clearly, he also felt Bai Hui was unreliable," Sang Li said.

"How could she become like this?" The man found it hard to accept.

Putting himself in his brother’s shoes, Zhang’s father truly loved Bai Hui.

Even as a woman, Bai Hui shouldn’t have been so ruthless even if she wasn’t moved.

More so as they were husband and wife.

Sang Li continued, "Later, did your brother do anything else? Knowing the kind of person he was, if he discovered Bai Hui’s involvement with the Bai Family’s business, he wouldn’t have done nothing. Think about whether he behaved unusually?"

The man struggled to recall the past and suddenly stood up, slapping the table.

"My brother traveled frequently that year; although they matched with company projects, previously, he prioritized spending time with the kids and giving us more exercise opportunities, and wouldn’t travel so frequently otherwise."

"Do you remember where he traveled?" Sang Li asked.

The man took out his phone: "I have work records; let me check."

Because he greatly respected Zhang’s father, he preserved all their work exchanges.

The man reported the locations Zhang’s father traveled, which happened to align with the Bai Family’s industrial chain.

After pondering for a few seconds, Sang Li said, "If I’m not mistaken, the first person who wanted to eliminate the Bai Family was your brother; he wasn’t on a business trip but was collecting evidence."

The man was stunned.

The rest of the matter, he could infer on his own.

"If Bai Hui knew about this, given her loyalty to the Bai Family, she would certainly try to stop it, hence the car accident my brother had..."

"Hmm."

That’s also what Sang Li thought.

Given Zhang’s father’s affection for Bai Hui, she didn’t need to act so fast unless there was an unavoidable reason.

If it could be proven that Bai Hui was connected to Zhang’s father’s death.

Perhaps then, one could investigate any business relations between Bai Hui and the Bai Family, and if any were found, Bai Hui’s fate would be to reunite with the Bai Family in prison.

That’s the outcome Sang Li wanted as well.

The man clutched the letter on the table, filled with the family’s entrusted instructions and trust.

He said angrily, "I will never let Bai Hui succeed."

"Now that Zhang Shutong is already in, only Zhang Jia is left. Either he obediently obeys Bai Hui, or he’ll become the next Zhang Shutong, meaning your brother’s entrustment is also ended."

Sang Li could tell the man was loyal and emotional.

After reading the letters, instead of dwelling on the will, he kept his eyes on the letters Zhang’s father left.

The man said bitterly, "I will take care of Zhang Shutong and Zhang Jia. Mr. Sang, what do you need me to do?"

Sang Li told him about Bai Hui’s recent activities.

The man refocused his thoughts: "I will definitely stop it; I will not let the Zhang Family become another Bai Family."

Sang Li knew he had found the right person.

"Hmm, I will provide internal and external support for you, but you can’t trust everyone in the Zhang Family; make sure they pass your test."

"I understand."

"Actually, I have another way that can help you quickly gain support from the Zhang Family," Sang Li said softly.

"Mr. Sang, just say what you have to say."

"Zhang Jia and Zhang Shutong dared to do such a thing, they clearly have been led astray by Bai Hui, and besides, Zhang Shutong has nothing against my wife so she has no reasons to target her with so many schemes." Sang Li slowly explained.

The man was surprised, "Your wife? Chu Yin?"

"Yes, we are married," Sang Li admitted openly.

"Sorry, I really didn’t know. I thought it was Zhang Shutong competing with Chu Yin for status in the entertainment industry. Although Shutong appears quiet, she’s been competitive since childhood," the man said helplessly.

"Chu Yin and I helped the police in Jing City to apprehend Bai Family’s people," Sang Li explained.

The man understood immediately.

"Even a tiger won’t eat its cubs; who would’ve thought Bai Hui even used her own children."

"I just advise you, they will find out sooner or later. Whether Bai Hui tells them or you do, the results will be entirely different."

Sang Li made his words clear.

Bai Hui could only fabricate stories and get the two children to follow her orders.

The man said very seriously, "I will persuade them before you take action."

"Hmm. Take care."

Sang Li had already said what needed to be said, so there was no need to discuss further.

Spending too much time together wouldn’t benefit him.

...

After leaving the police station, Zhang Jia went to a bar to get drunk.

Eventually, he didn’t even know how he made it back to the apartment.

Upon waking up with a splitting headache, he was surprised to smell the aroma of food at home.

He remembered rarely coming to this apartment; how could there be someone cooking?

As he staggered out of the room, he saw his uncle sitting at the dining table.

"Uncle? Why are you here?"

"I brought you over yesterday, come sit, let’s eat and talk." The man pointed to the seat opposite him.

Zhang Jia rubbed his head and still approached.

His impression of his uncle was mostly created by his father’s praise, and his uncle had always been good to him and Zhang Shutong.

It was just that in the past two years, he and Zhang Shutong spent a lot of time abroad and hadn’t had much contact with their uncle.

Zhang Jia said, "Uncle, did you want to see me for something?"

The man put down his bowl and chopsticks, "Have you seen your sister?"

Zhang Jia furrowed his brow, "Hmm, what about it?"

"Do you think your mother did the right thing?"

"Uncle, this is our family matter. Is there anything wrong with my mother being so righteous?" Zhang Jia forcefully put down his bowl and chopsticks.

The man realized the weight of Sang Li’s words.

These two kids were already completely misguided by Bai Hui.

The man sighed, "Wrong, completely wrong; this whole thing could have been avoided from the start!"

"Uncle..."

"Shut up. Do you and your sister have a feud with Chu Yin? You are the offspring of the Zhang Family; even without Bai Hui, would I neglect you two? Or do you really believe that over the years, solely relying on your mother can ensure your safety in the Zhang Family?"

"..."

Zhang Jia was dumbfounded.

They indeed thought so.

After their father died, Bai Hui’s hold on the Zhang Corporation was not yet firm; to prevent anyone from harming him and Zhang Shutong, she sent them abroad to live safely.

Otherwise, their siblings might have already been harmed by those ill-intentioned members of the Zhang family.
