Chapter 368 Legacy
Halfway through the meal, Duanmu received a call from Li Ran. The Ye family asked Duanmu's team to take on a super short project. The daughter of an overseas boss who had a good relationship with Ye Wen had completed various formalities in Hancheng and was ready to take her father home. The daughter wanted to go to the place where her father died to send a bouquet of flowers and pray for her father.

In view of the sensitivity of Plum Blossom Island in Hancheng, in order to avoid accidents, please ask the Duanmu team to protect the girl and send her and her father's remains to the small airport. The time is 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the girl's plane is at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The reward is 5,000 US dollars per person per day.

Duanmu looked at the information and said, "The employer's name is Emily, and the father's name is Winston."

Cui Jian asked: "The Winston Group, whose main business is petroleum by-products?" Asphalt, propylene, sulfur, circulating oil, etc., it can be said that the whole body of petroleum is a treasure.

Duanmu was surprised: "How do you know?"

Cui Jian snorted and said, “I don’t know, but my wife knows.”

Duanmu looked at the project and said, "This project is not right. I know Winston Group, but the heir should be Winston's eldest son. Why didn't the eldest son come to Hancheng to collect the body, but the youngest daughter came to Hancheng to handle the funeral?"

Duanmu opened the app and searched for gossip about Winston. Winston has two sons and two daughters. Emily is the youngest daughter, who is 24 years old and is still studying for a master's degree. The other three children all hold important positions in the Winston Group. The eldest son is the executive vice president, the second son is the director of the financial department. The third daughter is the deputy director of the marketing department, and the third daughter's husband is the director of the marketing department.

Duanmu called the contact and soon received feedback that only Emily, out of the four children, had entered South Korea, and the other three children were in Paris, where the company's headquarters is located.

Duanmu contacted Ye Lan directly to inquire, Ye Lan contacted Ye Wen, and Ye Wen called Duanmu.

Emily went to Hancheng alone. At first, she went through the formalities with the help of the consulate staff. Because there were so many dead, a DNA database needed to be established, which would take at least a week. Emily didn't want to wait so long, so she thought of Ye Wen, an old friend in Hancheng that Winston had mentioned. So Emily contacted Winston's private lawyer and then contacted Ye Wen.

Ye Wen took action, saving the DNA identification and matching process, and the matter was settled in less than 12 hours. Ye Wen also arranged a special plane for Emily, and the matter was handled clearly. However, due to Lin Hai's death and a lot of other things, Ye Wen had no time to pay attention to Emily, so he just asked Ye Lan to hire a bodyguard for Emily.

After Duanmu explained, Ye Wen, who noticed something strange, also contacted Winston's private lawyer and learned that Winston divided the estate into four equal parts for his children. The eldest son, the second son, and the son-in-law all contacted Emily as soon as they learned of Winston's death. Their purpose was to buy out Emily's shares.

Duanmu asked: "Boss Ye, according to your understanding, would brothers and sisters hire someone to kill someone?"

Ye Wen replied: "Even if Emily is killed, Emily's estate will still be divided equally among the three siblings, and they still cannot have a say due to their shareholding ratio. The lawyer told me that the top management of Winston Group is now on the verge of a fight, and the directors are waiting for the price to sell." The operation is simple yet complicated.

The eldest son has 12% of the shares. After receiving the inheritance, he has 18% of the shares. The other three only have 6% of the shares. The top shareholders are members of the board of directors. The chairman needs to be elected. The eldest son can compete for a seat by selling part of his shares. There is a lot of room for maneuver. How to play the game and how to seek the greatest benefits depends on everyone's ability.

If Emily sells 6% of the shares to the eldest son, the eldest son will own 24% of the shares. If handled properly, he can basically control the board of directors. On the contrary, if Emily sells 6% to the second son or the third daughter, they will own 12% of the shares, and the gap with the eldest son will become very small. If the board members are properly won over, the eldest son, the major shareholder, can be defeated.

Duanmu turned on the loudspeaker, hoping to let Cui Jian and Gui Yi know more, but he saw that the two of them were concentrating on eating and didn't even raise their eyelids.

After hearing Ye Wen say that lawyer Winston was hiding something, Duanmu could only do more work and learn more about Emily and Winston Group through his own channels. In the end, he came to a conclusion: Emily intended to sell the shares to the eldest son, and the second son and the third daughter joined together and won over some shareholders. From this, it can be inferred that the second son and the third daughter have an interest in killing Emily.

Seeing that Duanmu was too busy to eat, Cui Jian said, "Emily has been in Hancheng for two days and has been alone all the time. If there really is a killer, why doesn't he do it?"

Duanmu was stunned. What Cui Jian said seemed to make sense.

Cui Jian peeled a lobster and said, "Whoever controls the lobster controls the truth."

Gui Yi smiled and said, “Duanmu, I think what Cui Jian said makes sense.”

Duanmu argued: "It takes time to hire a killer, and the killer has to fly here. Maybe the killer will arrive late?"

Cui Jian ignored Duanmu and asked, "Is your husband Zhang Hao in Japan?"

Gui Yi nodded: "There is a prodigal who wants to sell a batch of calligraphy and paintings. It is said that there are masterpieces among them. Many collectors in Japan are very interested in them. The prodigal is not stupid. He is afraid of being cheated, so he hired the Diujie team and Tokyo Security Company to be responsible for the transportation of the calligraphy and paintings and the private exhibition."

Japan and South Korea are deeply influenced by Chinese culture, especially in the calligraphy world, where mainstream calligraphy, or traditional calligraphy, is in various Chinese fonts. Therefore, authentic calligraphy by famous calligraphers is very popular in Japan.

Cui Jian said: "Who knows, you may still be able to meet in Japan."

Gui Yi smiled and said, "Zhang Hao and I have known each other for twelve years since our school days, and have been in love for eight years. We no longer have the feeling that you and Xiao Ye always miss each other so much when you don't see each other for a day."

Cui Jian asked curiously: "How did this feeling disappear?"

Cui Jian's question stumped Gui Yi. Gui Yi thought about it for a long time but couldn't understand it. He asked himself, "Yes, when did it disappear?"

Duanmu Wuyu, what are you doing? Are you happy to break up the CP? She doesn't buy a school district house and doesn't want to give her children a good environment. Who will drive us? Who will run errands for the VIP?

Duanmu asked: "Gui Yi, is Zhang Hao the most important person to you?"

Gui Yi was very sure: "Yes, it is very important."

Cui Jiandao: "When we have children in the future..."

"Even lobsters can't stop you from eating." Duanmu changed the subject: "I've talked to Mr. Ye about this. After dinner, we'll get the equipment and take over the Emily project. From the fact that only Emily came to Hancheng alone, it can be seen that there must be a very important game between the eldest son, the second son and the third daughter. No one dares to leave the headquarters easily. Theoretically, Emily may be in danger. Anyway, we are prepared for the worst."

Gui Yi nodded and asked curiously: "Duanmu, you also attended the banquet of the Hancheng Forum. Is there no chance at all?"

Duanmu asked back: "What opportunity?"

Gui Yi said: "An opportunity to counterattack."

Duanmu was shocked: "Counter-kill the Seven Killers? I killed four Seven Killers by myself?" Do you want to become an immortal?

Gui Yi smiled awkwardly and asked, "Cui Jian, what about you? Are you okay?"

Cui Jian said: "I don't know the specific situation. Ye Lan said that if I were also at the scene, the danger would be greater than her, and Qi Sha would definitely control me first."

Gui Yi: "No, Qi Sha didn't control Duanmu." Cui Jian looked at Duanmu: Do you want to answer or should I?

Duanmu said: "You are too curious, so you will be responsible for driving the hearse."

Gui Yi doesn’t care. It doesn’t matter what you drive. You have to drive anyway.

……

At 50 pm, Duanmu met Emily at the hotel. After arriving at the address, a puzzle was solved. If someone wanted to kill Emily, why didn't the killer do it in the past two days? The reason is that Emily's hotel was opened by the French and is less than meters away from the consulate. Places like consulates are usually crowded, and the authorities will also invest more police forces in this area.

What’s even more interesting is that all the staff speak French, so even if the killer wanted to enter the hotel to commit the crime, he would face a language barrier.

Duanmu communicated with the staff in French and showed his work permit. The staff was still confirming the information with Emily before letting him in. The hotel is not tall, only four floors, and the floor area is not large, with two elevators and two staircases. The square layout is not in line with the romance of the French.

Emily is a very beautiful blonde girl, nearly 1.8 meters tall. In layman's terms, she is very big, and big beauties look better the more you look at them. After introducing each other, Duanmu and Emily briefly explained the situation, but did not tell the truth, fearing that Emily would be scared, and only said that Ye Wen had arranged bodyguards.

Cui Jian looked around the guest room and found that it was a standard room in a very cheap hotel. It had a living room and a bedroom, plus a bathroom, with a total area of ​​more than 30 square meters. Cui Jian curiously asked why the daughter of Winston Group stayed in such a simple hotel?

Emily replied that it was arranged by the consulate staff and she knew nothing about it. If the consulate had not sent someone to assist her in collecting the body, she would not even know where the responsible police station was.

Duanmu asked the core question: "You have an older brother and sister. They are older and often travel on business. Why did you let you come to Hancheng alone?" To put it bluntly, Emily is still a student.

Emily was obviously unhappy when she heard this question. She didn't like outsiders interfering in her family affairs.

Duanmu further explained: "It may be related to your safety."

Emily accepted this explanation and after thinking for a long time, she explained the situation.

When Winston died, the children met for the first time, and they were sad and upset, and they all performed well. Then Emily received a call, and the three children wanted to buy her shares, saying that they could buy them at a price higher than the market price. Emily was very disappointed with her brothers and sisters' reactions, so she told them that she didn't want to make any decisions now, and went to Hancheng alone to handle Winston's funeral.

Duanmu didn't know the personalities of Winston's children, so it was hard to judge whether anyone really wanted to kill Emily. Unexpectedly, at 50 pm, the eldest son called and told Emily the unfortunate news: a mother and son held a copy of Winston's will and demanded to inherit % of Winston's assets, including real estate, equity, bonds, cash, yachts, cars, jewelry, antiques, etc.

Winston's personal lawyer has seen a copy of the will and basically determined that the will is authentic and that the mother and child are most likely Winston's lover and illegitimate child. This will was made one year later than the original will and can legally replace the original will.

The solution is thought up by people. The eldest son and his friends came up with a solution, which was to burn Winston's body. As long as Winston could not do a paternity test with the child, the will stating that my child XXX would inherit my estate would be invalid.

Although the police collected Winston's DNA, due to Ye Wen's intervention, they did not conduct a paternity comparison with the family or conduct an identification.

Emily, who had the right to dispose of the body, could contact the crematorium directly and take Winston's ashes back to France. However, Winston was in the oil business and had frequent contacts with Muslims, which influenced him and led him to convert to Islam in his middle age. Islam prohibits cremation. When Winston was alive, he specifically told his several Catholic heretic children that he would not accept cremation.

The reason why the mother and son were able to get 50% of the inheritance was because they were all Muslims. If Winston hadn't considered them as the mother of several children, he probably wouldn't have left them even 50%.

After Emily hung up the phone, she looked confused. She didn't know how to deal with this matter, so she explained the situation to Duanmu and asked, "What should I do?"

Duanmu said: "I'm sorry Miss Emily, we are just bodyguards. I think you should communicate more with your family."

Cui Jian and Gui Yi were eating melons on the side. Gui Yi nudged Cui Jian with his elbow and said, "Tsk tsk, this is the Virgin Mary."

Cui Jian was very curious: "Let's see if I can be holy to the end."

Gui Yi asked: "If you were Emily?"

Cui Jian replied: "That mother and son are already dead. What if you were Emily?"

Gui Yi said: "I will negotiate with my brothers and sisters and try to get some benefits from them."

The two were chatting in a low voice, and Emily called for help, which was a normal thing to do, but Duanmu's face changed drastically, from the cold expression of "It's none of my business" to the serious expression of "It's all my business".

Emily wiped her tears with a smile, which Cui Jian was completely confused about.

Duanmu stepped back to the two of them to explain, "Someone asked her to cremate the body tonight, but before that, she hired a lawyer, used video evidence, collected a DNA sample from Winston, and urgently asked a local agency to do an identification, as a bargaining chip when she returns to France."

Gui Yi said: "In this way, she will have legally recognized DNA data of Winston. If an illegitimate child is also subjected to a DNA test, the paternity conclusion can be drawn after comparison. She can at least get her share of the assets according to the original will. If the mother and son want to inherit 50% of Winston's estate, they must cede half of the interest to Emily."

Duanmu said: "No, the other party told her that she could get 45% from the mother and son. Either the mother and son get 5% of the inheritance and live a life of ease and comfort, or get nothing."

Cui Jian asked: "Who?" Cui Jian could tell that Duanmu focused on the instigator, not Emily's words and actions.

Duanmu said leisurely: "Feidi."

Unexpected, but normal. Fidi has been operating in Europe for many years, and France is Fidi's home base. It is normal for him to know someone like Emily. Emily is Fidi's friend, even a close friend. The greater the benefits Emily gets, the greater the benefits Fidi gets. Cui Jian thinks it is normal for Fidi to help Emily.

When we were discussing the Dolan project at noon, the unstable factor mentioned was Fidi. Unexpectedly, Fidi showed up in the afternoon, and even Guiyi felt that they were enemies.

Emily finished the call and came over and said, "Can you help me contact the crematorium? I want to cremate my father's body tonight."

"No problem." You can't give advice to your employer, but you should run errands for him.
