The She family, an entire clan, except for distant relatives, participated in the enterprise of the Abyssal Believers!
This is what the retired Hunters have discovered recently.
She Wuyou was not pulled into the group of Abyssal Believers by She Wuliang. Rather, the She family had already become Abyssal Believers since the previous generation, and She Wuyou merely inherited their positions from his forefathers.
There should be many people within the She family who are unaware that they are serving the Abyssal Believers, but even if they are unaware, they can still commit evil deeds.
The matter of embezzling the Death Hunter's compensation was not something She Wuliang could manage alone. Many people from the She family were involved, with Zheng Guoxian merely being a pawn in their hands, and even Daoist Li was their puppet.
Now that Daoist Li has stepped down, the embezzlement of the Death Hunter's compensation continues, meaning the problem does not lie directly within the Crimson No. 2 Hunter's Guild.
The Crimson No. 2 Hunter's Guild is only responsible for counting the death list of Hunters, submitting the list, and, after approval by the headquarters, the compensation is directly transferred through the bank to the insurance account associated with each deceased Hunter, never passing through the hands of the Crimson No. 2 Hunter's Guild.
Prior to this, embezzling the compensation was quite simple; just remove a few names from the list or submit both a false and true list, omit some achievements of the deceased Hunters from the apparent list, and submit another list when recording the compensation. This way, the compensation would change hands a few times, allowing part of it to be subtly taken.
In the short term, such compensation embezzlement does not cause much impact, and the money obtained by the Abyssal Believers is not substantial.
However, as time extends, Hunter relatives may become suspicious of the Hunter's Guild, but lack evidence, forcing their suspicions to remain unspoken until the pent-up frustration reaches a boiling point and conflicts and confrontations erupt.
She Wuliang's embezzlement of compensation has persisted for at least twelve years, and the retired Hunters dare not imagine how much money he has taken over these twelve years.
Now, Wu Zechuan has risen to power but has yet to fully grasp the Crimson No. 2 Hunter's Guild, and She Wuliang's embezzlement has not been discovered by Wu Zechuan, indicating that there are Abyssal Believers within the guild's finance department.
Not necessarily Abyssal Believers, but certainly those who joined this circle of interest, finding ways to enrich themselves.
She Wuliang has also realized he is being investigated, and is beginning to retract his tentacles to avoid the current storm.
But how could the retired Hunters let him escape?
They immediately teamed up with Wu Zechuan, targeting both Lingquan City and the Crimson No. 2 simultaneously.
Wu Zechuan captured the embezzlers hidden in the finance department, while from Lingquan City, a retired Hunter came forward to prosecute She Wuliang.
Before the prosecution began, they had already prepared by inviting media from other cities to cover the matter.
Lingquan City is the She family's home turf, and they have the ability to influence Lingquan City's media. Like when She Wuyou was 'released without charge,' they had pulled many media outlets to hype him up.
Therefore, to leverage public opinion against She Wuliang, they could only rely on media from other cities.
The retired Hunters only targeted She Wuliang and his subordinates, and at the Hunter's Guild Headquarters, they simply voiced concerns to some acquaintances, leaving the headquarters to handle it themselves.
This way, they would not have a falling out with the headquarters, limiting the confrontation to Lingquan City, giving Abyssal Believers in other territories no reason to oppose them.
Without the help of other Abyssal Believers, dealing with She Wuliang and the She family behind him became much easier.
......
[So, is it to showcase their prowess?]
Li Shen Yi laughed heartily, watching the news from Lingquan City with his granddaughter.
Sasa wanted to bring Bao Han Company into their team through Li Xinyue. After pondering over the matter for some time, Li Xinyue decided to consult her grandfather.
From Li Shen Yi's previous attitude, he seemed to have no favorable feelings towards Abyssal Believers, making it possible to bring Bao Han Company into their team.
Moreover, Li Xinyue was quite intrigued by the 'secret' Sasa mentioned.
Sasa wasn't someone who liked to lie; although Li Xinyue hadn't interacted with Sasa for long, she understood Sasa's character.
When Li Xinyue mentioned that Yan Luo's organized team was planning to make money with Bao Han Company, Li Shen Yi showed interest in the matter.
If Yan Luo could indeed carry out his plans, he might take the opportunity to make Li Xinyue the heir of Bao Han Company.
Many people within the Celestial Sea Li Family had no fondness for 'bloodline inheritance,' or perhaps they were not beneficiaries of bloodline inheritances, so they held no fondness for it.
Many thought Li Xinyue was unsuitable to helm Bao Han Company as she hadn't learned any business strategies and might drive Bao Han Company to bankruptcy.
Therefore, Li Shen Yi had not set the position of heir.
He surely wanted to hand over Bao Han Company to his granddaughter, but the prerequisite was his granddaughter's happiness.
If inheriting Bao Han Company meant his granddaughter wouldn't find happiness, he would rather entrust the company to someone else.
[Dear girl, what do you think, what secret does Yan Luo hold?]
Upon hearing Li Shen Yi's inquiry, Li Xinyue opened her mouth slightly, then closed it after a while, shaking her head, "I'm sorry, grandfather, I promised Yan Luo I would keep his secret, unless he willingly reveals it himself."
Li Shen Yi wore a meaningful smile, asking: [Even grandpa can't be told?]
Li Xinyue was resolute, "Even grandpa can't be told!"
[Hahaha! As it should be!]
To Li Xinyue's surprise, Li Shen Yi was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed heartily.
[Dear girl, you are better than most people in our family, at least you can 'keep your word!' What made Bao Han Company rise? Many have forgotten, thinking it's due to my strong leadership and business acumen—they are wrong! Bao Han Company became prosperous and powerful because of its practicality and integrity!]
[Downstairs, there's always someone advocating that we should adapt to market trends, revamp the production line using cost-effective materials, reducing production costs, thinking it's 'thrift', but I say, nonsense! Focusing solely on such trivial gains, they fail to see how Bao Han Company survives in this world today!]
[Your grandfather has zero business acumen; otherwise, he wouldn't have made numerous wrong decisions over the years, leading to Bao Han Company losing market share. I can't discern what young, mainstream consumers want; all I know is, as long as Bao Han Company adheres to past production principles, it will always have a loyal customer base.]
[I have been waiting for a worthy heir to entrust, yet no one has satisfied me so far, so the company has no set heir. Dear girl, Yan Luo and others want us to collaborate, right? Great, you are fully in charge of this collaboration, if the company truly profits, then you will be designated as its heir!]
Li Xinyue didn't expect that simply facilitating a dialogue between Yan Luo and her grandfather would result in her being predesignated as the future Patriarch of the Celestial Sea Li Family.
The Celestial Sea Li Family is a clan sustained by Bao Han Company. The company is the trunk of the family tree, while everything else are merely branches.
Li Shen Yi has poured a lifetime of efforts into Bao Han Company, considering it more important than blood ties.
For something so significant, did her grandfather really intend to entrust it to her?
Li Xinyue was momentarily stunned but then resolutely declared, "It's a deal!"
Why procrastinate? Why be hypocritical?
While modesty is commendable, playing coy when faced with grandpa's kindness and expectations is hypocrisy!
Besides, this conversation is just between grandfather and granddaughter, unknown to anyone else.
Watching the video footage of Li Xinyue, Li Shen Yi was momentarily taken aback.
It seems his dear granddaughter has truly grown...
If it were the old Li Xinyue, she would certainly not be so confident.
[Alright.]
Li Shen Yi grinned, [A gentleman's word is never broken. As long as you manage this matter well, regardless of opposition, grandpa will entrust Bao Han Company to you!]
