Jing Jihan’s expression was as calm as an ancient pond, unchanged, and he said slowly, "Two months ago, I was on a business trip in Boston and happened to learn about Lin’s case. The police officers you sent were able to settle it, but the case file accidentally ended up in my hands." Ever since Jing Jihan’s car accident and disappearance, Jing Yuanbin hadn’t paid attention to the legitimate business over in the capital, stubbornly guarding the Jiang City headquarters. He didn’t have the energy to manage his son abroad, and he never expected that the case file he hadn’t destroyed back then would land in Jing Jihan’s hands. He was well aware of how much of a disgrace his son was. The troubles caused abroad were more than just one or two, and he had tried to settle them with money. In the country, various matters were not investigated further due to the Jing Family’s influence. But one by one, they were all evidently under Jing Jihan’s full control. Jing Jihan’s preparedness caught Jing Yuanbin off guard, making the explanations he had prepared difficult to voice. In the vast and modern tech-styled CEO’s office, the afternoon sunlight streamed through the semi-panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows onto the expensive dark carpet, and the air fell silent. Jing Yuanbin, who was on the verge of an outburst, had to hold back his emotions and softened his attitude, "Jihan, you and Lin are considered brothers, although not as close as Luozhou. But when he was young, he often stuck to you all. You’ve all grown up after so many years. Lin is a troublesome kid, and I don’t have any expectations for him, but he is my only son, so you see..." As he spoke, he sighed, showing clear signs of defeat in his expression. Though he was incompetent, he was still his only biological son. Jing Jihan was well-prepared, not only making a sudden return today but also thoroughly gaining control over his son’s affairs in the United States early on. Jing Yuanbin knew from the start he couldn’t compete with him, but he never thought he would survive. "Jihan, the matter between us uncle and nephew is better off not involving Lin. Otherwise, it’ll be hard to explain to the old master, considering it’s all the Jing Family’s bloodline." Seeing his indifferent demeanor, Jing Yuanbin decided not to beat around the bush and came straight to the point. Today, Jing Jihan was only wearing a dark shirt, custom-tailored, as he gracefully picked up the tablet, pushing the electronic stylus forward. "Lin lacks proper guidance; it’s a good thing for you to retire early and go to the United States to accompany him properly." As he spoke, the electronic pen in Jing Jihan’s hand was already placed beside the tablet, and his eyes, devoid of emotions, looked at him. The outcome was determined, and any struggle was in vain. It was unfortunate that Jing Jihan didn’t die under the cliff, and the people sent by Jing Yuanbin didn’t find any trace of him. As long as Jing Jihan was still breathing, the contest between uncle and nephew always saw him as the victor. Looking at the resignation document on the tablet screen, Jing Yuanbin’s face grew more rigid, and after a long silence, he slowly stepped forward. When he took the pen, he stared directly at Jing Jihan. Jing Jihan did not avoid his gaze and, with a faint, barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth, commented after he confirmed the signature, "Don’t worry, uncle. Although the United States is far from home, I’ve already prepared accommodation for you and Lin. You can start your journey there tomorrow, perfect timing to visit Lin at the police station and spend more time with him." Jing Yuanbin’s grip on the pen made veins pop, his gaze coldly angry toward Jing Jihan, before he suddenly threw down the pen powerlessly and left the CEO’s office silently. The office fell silent for a moment, and then Lu Zhao came in after knocking, reporting, "Mr. Jing, all personnel changes have been communicated through the company’s intranet. The important documents accumulated in the past month requiring your personal approval and signature have been sorted by Zhou He and will be delivered to your office before six in the evening. The investment division in the capital currently lacks a general management position, and they’ve started an urgent management screening upon receiving the news. It’s expected to be aligned with the headquarters by this week." "You just returned, so the recent schedule might be overly packed. Please review it, and I’ll rearrange if there are any improper arrangements." Lu Zhao handed over the tablet in his hand, "Besides, the old master left word before leaving the company that you can handle Jing Yuanbin’s matters as you see fit, with no need to consider his side. He’ll accept all the outcomes." Jing Jihan glanced at the tablet in his hand without speaking. After a moment, he suddenly asked, "Is the task I assigned you completed?" Lu Zhao nodded, "It’s been delivered." Shi Su rushed back from the set in the afternoon to pick up Shi Mianmian downstairs at home. It turned out that when Shi Mianmian got off the school bus, she was carrying two cartoon bags depicting a famous Disney character, obviously authentic. Shi Su initially thought that Mianmian might have mistakenly taken another child’s bag, but the school bus had already driven away. Upon looking down again, she suddenly noticed a particularly cute white diamond bear on Shi Mianmian’s head. Follow current novᴇls on novel[f]ire.net Especially considering Shi Mianmian’s face was so full of joy, her happiness seemed inexplicable to Shi Su. "Mianmian, did your kindergarten hand out gifts today?" "Yes! Mommy, isn’t it pretty?" Shi Mianmian pointed to the brightly sparkling white diamond bear on her head and took out many high-end children’s toys, authentic Ye Luoli dolls, Disney princess dolls, and several particularly beautiful little dresses from the cartoon bags. Even if Shi Su wasn’t knowledgeable, she knew these items were worth quite a bit. A few of those dolls alone cost thousands apiece, not to mention those dresses, any of which would cost five or six thousand. These were original American Disney princess dresses, which even million-dollar members of the Disney Secret Club couldn’t easily purchase under the reservation system. She had heard big-name actresses in the same crew mention them while she worked as an extra in the United States and had seen photos before. Shi Su suddenly picked up the bags in Shi Mianmian’s hand and checked all the items inside. She then cast a sharp look at the white diamond bear on Mianmian’s head. "Mommy, what’s wrong?" Seeing her mother’s strange look, Shi Mianmian asked with confusion, "These were gifts from Uncle Ji Han." Shi Su had pretty much guessed who sent these items but was still incredulous, taking off the white diamond bear from Mianmian’s head while heading home and took a photo with her phone to search online for comparisons. Eventually, she found out it was a VCA’s newly released fall and winter hair clip from less than a week ago. With autumn just beginning, the VCA children’s models hadn’t even had a chance to showcase it, and the white diamond bear hair clip was scheduled to make its debut at the end of the month. There were only ten of these clips globally, with an estimated market value of nine hundred thousand dollars each. Shi Su quickly lowered her head, looking at the joyful Mianmian hopping towards home with her cartoon bags. This little girl, didn’t she feel her head was heavy? But why did this hair clip look familiar? Looked a lot like the white bear on her bed at home.
