Ye Tian was somewhat surprised. While Zhou Jianrong wasn't a top-tier tycoon in the country, he was a magnate with assets close to a hundred billion. Why would he be so accommodating?
He asked, "Does the other party have a significant background?"
Zhou Jianrong sighed, "To be honest, it's not about their background. I was purely afraid this matter would involve my daughter, Zhiqing. I had someone secretly investigate this girl's life from childhood to the present. On the surface, she seemed ordinary, but I uncovered a shocking fact. It was this fact that made me decide not to provoke her and to keep my daughter away from her."
Ye Tian's interest was piqued. What kind of person could make Zhou Jianrong so fearful? He asked, "What fact?"
Zhou Jianrong lit a cigarette. As he smoked, his fingers trembled slightly. "When I heard the reports, I was so scared I didn't dare to sleep all night. I immediately lit three sticks of incense for heaven, thanking the heavens for sending Mr. Ye to appear and save my daughter's life."
He paused, then got to the point. "This girl's name is Guo Ying, and she's the same age as my daughter. Ever since she started kindergarten, classmates around her have fallen ill and died, most of them succumbing to strange illnesses and dying gruesome deaths."
"For example, in her first year and a half of kindergarten, two female classmates inexplicably died of poisoning; one male classmate climbed upstairs by himself and jumped to his death. Later, it became even more outrageous. During her primary school years, twenty-seven classmates in her class died, and sixteen were disabled. Among these, girls were the majority. Some of them died within days of each other."
"In middle school, it escalated. Thirty-five classmates died, and twenty-one were injured or disabled. This situation was clearly very bizarre, so I felt this girl must be a demon on earth!"
After listening to his account, Ye Tian said, "So you were very scared and arranged for a transfer?"
Zhou Jianrong: "My intuition told me it was best not to provoke this girl, or trouble would follow. For my daughter's safety, I decided to have her stay away from this girl. Currently, my daughter is studying abroad, so she can be further away from her."
Ye Tian also felt a sense of awe. For the sake of his daughter's safety, a father had sent her abroad to study. Who exactly was this girl?
"So many people died in one year, who is this Guo Ying?"
Zhou Jianrong: "She frequently changed classes. She went to seven different primary schools and twelve different middle schools. Even the university she's currently attending is her third."
Ye Tian: "Being able to change schools so frequently suggests her family background is quite good, as changing schools also incurs expenses."
Zhou Jianrong: "That's true. Guo Ying's mother is the owner of a listed company. I once tried to investigate her, but the information I could find was very limited."
Ye Tian thought for a moment and said, "Give me her information, and I'll have a friend help look into it."
Zhou Jianrong then provided the other party's name and some basic information, and Ye Tian asked Ren Ping to assist with the investigation.
After only a few words, Ren Ping had news.
Seeing that Ye Tian had obtained a large amount of information in just over ten minutes, Zhou Jianrong was secretly astonished by Mr. Ye's powerful network!
Ye Tian scanned the materials briefly and frowned slightly. The information indicated that Guo Ying's mother was named Guo Luzhu, fifty-four years old, and currently the chairman of a listed company with a market value of five billion.
The document included a recent photo of Guo Luzhu. Upon seeing her picture, Ye Tian thought he was seeing things. The Guo Luzhu in the photo was young and beautiful, appearing to be in her mid-twenties. How could she be a fifty-six-year-old woman! Even more bizarrely, Guo Luzhu had been married nineteen times, and shortly after each divorce, her ex-husbands would fall into a coma or die, and she would consequently inherit vast fortunes.
Following this were the details of her successive husbands, which Ye Tian briefly skimmed. The more he read, the more he felt this woman was problematic.
After reading the materials, Zhou Jianrong's face turned pale. He said, "Fortunately, I didn't provoke her. Her ex-husbands had such tragic fates!"
