Only then did Ye Fan walk over to Zhuge’s side.

“Let’s go. You’ll be busy these few days, Zhuge,” Ye Fan said sternly, his handsome face filled with gravity. “Spare no effort to find out what exactly is going on with Bai Susu’s grandfather and the current situation of the Bai Family.”

Since he had promised Bai Susu, he would definitely see it through.

Investigating these matters should yield results soon.

He must find out who caused the Bai Family such distress, making his woman so heartbroken, and even considering selling his woman in exchange for glory and wealth.

They truly are a group of extremely selfish people.

Thinking of Bai Susu being born into such a family, Ye Fan felt deeply distressed for her.

Fortunately, Bai Susu’s grandfather was good to her; otherwise, things would have been even more difficult!

“Master, rest assured, I will find out everything,” Zhuge said, nodding.

The two returned to the hotel, where Zhuge went off to begin his investigation.

Ye Fan also started searching for news online about the Bai Family’s gossip.

Currently, the internet was flooded with news about Old Master Bai’s car accident, causing Bai Corporate Group’s stocks to plummet.

Moreover, many shareholders were selling off their shares.

Ye Fan watched with growing concern.

If things continued like this, Bai Corporate Group would truly be finished.

Now, what to do?

If Bai Susu were to see this scene, she would probably get upset again.

And it was still uncertain whether the old man would wake up.

Right, there was also the System.

Surely the System, being so powerful, could wake Old Master Bai.

But he didn’t know when the System would finish updating.

More than ten days had passed already.

The System still hadn’t completed its update.

It seemed to be taking quite a long time.

What to do now?

If not feasible, he would have to secretly buy out the Bai Group.

Holding it in his own hands was better than letting it fall into someone else’s.

Thinking this, Ye Fan made up his mind to start the acquisition of Bai Corporate Group.

Regardless, it was better to be prepared for any eventuality.

No matter whether Bai Susu’s grandfather could be revived or not, Bai Corporate Group must not fall into the hands of others.

Ye Fan then called Zhuge to arrange the secret acquisition of shares of the Bai Group.

After setting all this in motion, Ye Fan returned to browsing the online gossip.

The gossip online was a mix of truth and lies—it all depended on how you looked at it and what you made of it.

Ye Fan read for quite a while before he roughly comprehended some issues concerning Bai Corporate Group and the Bai Family household.

But the information was still not very detailed.

He would wait for Zhuge to return to see if there had been any progress on his end.

At the moment, he was practically racing against time.

Ye Fan lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling as he pondered over the next steps.

Before he knew it, he had fallen asleep.

When Zhuge returned and saw his master sleeping so soundly, he did not disturb him.

He sat in the living room, lost in thought.

When Ye Fan woke up, it was already approaching evening.

He had had a rather good sleep.

“Master, I’ve investigated some of the matters you tasked me with, but not completely,” Zhuge reported.

“That’s quite good already. Tell me about it,” Ye Fan said as he picked up a cup beside him and drank some water.

“Actually, it’s like this: the day of the old master’s car accident was indeed a bit fishy. I haven’t fully figured it out, but as for the Bai Family, I’ve got almost everything,” Zhuge continued. “Old Master Bai has two sons and a daughter. The daughter is not at home, and the two sons are the manager and assistant manager in the company. Both sons are vying for the chairman’s position of the Bai Group. But now, with the old master in a coma, they both face a corporate crisis.”

“They suggested sending the lady to marry into another family, so that the Jia Family can help out. The Jia Family’s young heir has had a long-standing infatuation with the lady. I found out that this man leads a life of luxury and is a notorious womanizer—a true playboy. The lady’s father and uncle have been trying to convince her to marry him, using Old Master Bai’s hard-built company as an excuse.”

“Although the lady has been very resolute and sworn never to marry, this hasn’t changed her parents’ and uncle’s decision. They seem to be still looking for ways to make the lady submit!” Zhuge spoke respectfully.

These were his findings; the current situation of the Bai Family seemed indeed dire.

“I’ve also found out that the Jia Family’s young heir is secretly acquiring shares of the Bai Group. Presumably, they want to swallow up the Bai Corporate Group. Master, as for the task you assigned, I am already on it, striving to acquire the maximum shareholding control of the Bai Corporate Group!” Zhuge spoke again.

It was his duty as a subordinate to execute the tasks set by his master well.

Though this era was different from the Three Kingdoms Period he came from, he had adapted quickly and was handling things with ease.

For him, these tasks were not difficult.

He had come to understand the business trends of this era.

“You did well. I wish to see who dares harm Bai Susu with me around!” Ye Fan said coldly.

Bai Susu’s parents were truly pushing their daughter into a pit of fire.

The Jia Family’s young heir was a scoundrel, and to think they would sell their own daughter’s happiness to rescue Bai Corporate Group was monstrously heartless..
