Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 743: Chapter 736: Secret Struggles

He Chengsi acted quickly, and by the next day, he had already started investigating the Baihe Foundation. He followed Sisi’s advice and focused on checking the foundation’s finances. However, Wan Yun was shrewd, and the foundation’s books didn’t even have a discrepancy of one cent; they were impeccably clean.

"How can the accounts be this perfect? The foundation must have another set of secret accounts, and the ones they show are just for deception." Sisi confidently stated.

Sisi could think of it, and naturally, others had thought of it too. But since it’s secret accounts, Wan Yun certainly wouldn’t flaunt them openly.

"Wan Yun used to work in finance. Given her caution, she wouldn’t hand over something so important to someone else. It’s likely that she keeps them herself." He Chengsi analyzed.

That makes it difficult. Wan Yun is as cunning as a fox. Getting those accounts from her is like trying to climb to the heavens!

"Since we can’t find clues internally, let’s start from the outside!" Mr. Yun spoke up.

Start from the outside?

He Chengsi’s eyes lit up, but then he frowned, "This method is feasible, but the Baihe Foundation has funded hundreds, if not thousands, of areas. If we were to gather evidence one by one, I fear I don’t have enough manpower."

Sisi quickly jumped up and said, "I’m here too, I can help! My Green Home has so many people, they specialize in such things!"

Mr. Yun just smiled without speaking, his expression inscrutable.

He Chengsi also smiled, the gentleman had probably long expected Ah Nan to offer!

The main aid focus of the Baihe Foundation is Y Province. Though it’s just one province, if you go down to the level of towns and villages, it’s a huge project indeed.

Fortunately, Green Home has grown thanks to the Daoji Association’s billions of US dollars in support. Not counting the staff of Green Home, there are quite a few enthusiastic volunteers.

However, there’s a very remote and treacherous place that no one wanted to go to. It was the village Huang Xiaoguang mentioned. According to him, his village was slightly better, but going further, the villagers lived even harder lives!

Shi Lei and Xiao Zhang both volunteered to go there for interviews, but Sisi disagreed. These two are currently key figures in Green Home and should be used where they can have the most impact, not sent to waste time. According to Huang Xiaoguang, it takes several days just to enter the mountains of that village.

She planned to go herself. She hadn’t wandered in Jianghu for a long time, and she felt a bit restless.

Moreover, Huang Xiaoguang said the scenery there is truly stunning, and she wanted to take some beautiful photos. Such natural beauty would become increasingly rare in the future.

However, she didn’t reveal her plans. Even if she wanted to go out, it would have to wait a while, as she couldn’t leave immediately.

The Jins

Wan Yun’s expression showed some concern. Opposite her sat the elegant and luxurious eldest daughter-in-law of the Jins, her mother-in-law, Jin Guangrong’s most prized daughter-in-law, Ms. Jin Ning.

"Mom, do you think He Sisi might have found something out?"

Ms. Jin Ning’s expression was calm as she leisurely sipped her coffee, "If she had found something out, she wouldn’t be making such a fuss. She’s just trying to bluff you! If you show any sign of fear, you’ll lose face. But you did well at the auction."

Wan Yun smiled a bit proudly. Her mother-in-law, though seemingly kind, was truly harsh, and rarely offered praise.

"It’s all thanks to your guidance!" Wan Yun fawningly complimented her mother-in-law, though inwardly she felt suffocated. Why does being a senior grant you such privilege? In terms of talent, background, and contributions to the Jins, how do I fall short of this old woman?

Ms. Jin Ning glanced at Wan Yun with a half-smile, and that look made Wan Yun’s heart quiver.

"Of course, it’s also thanks to your own good insights. If it were Seventh Brother’s wife’s family, I couldn’t have helped even if I tried to drag them along."

"Haha, seventh sister-in-law is still a bit naive!" Wan Yun said, once again betraying her true feelings.

The two women engaged in a verbal sparring, their words full of double meanings and profound depth, not seeming to tire.

"Since He Sisi asked such questions, you must remain vigilant. Be careful not to reveal anything that could be used against you. The Old Man values the foundation greatly." Ms. Jin Ning advised.

"Understood. I have all the accounts in my hands. Even if the Yun Family had Sun Wukong, they couldn’t take them away. I am more worried about the supplies we distributed. If the Yun Family discovers that the goods we purchased are expired and spoiled, it would be troublesome." Wan Yun expressed her concern.

Ms. Jin Ning frowned slightly but soon relaxed, "Y Province is remote, and over the years, we’ve funded hundreds, if not thousands, of places. It shouldn’t be that easy to gather evidence. Besides, where would the Yun Family find so many people to investigate these matters? But you must be more careful in the future, don’t leave such obvious evidence for others to grab, got it?"

"Got it!"

Wan Yun obediently replied, but inwardly she was agitated. When they bought those supplies, it was with your and the Old Man’s approval. Now it’s all blamed on me?

However, she was deeply calculating and the more she resented, the friendlier her smile became.

"Was it you who arranged for the new affair outside the eldest’s son?" Ms. Jin Ning suddenly changed the topic, catching Wan Yun off guard and unsure how to respond.

Ms. Jin Ning didn’t need her answer and continued, "Ah Yun, I know you feel wronged, which is why I recommended you to manage the foundation. But the Jins’ offspring is a major matter. While officially we can only have one, we’ll have to continue privately. I don’t mind you dealing with those women, but you shouldn’t meddle with the Jins’ offspring! I’ve taken over that woman. After she has the child, do whatever you want with her. But before she does, not a hair on her head must be harmed, understood?"

The gentle voice carried an undertone of menace. Though Wan Yun was unhappy, she didn’t dare openly defy Ms. Jin Ning and had to agree.

Old hag, you forbid me to light candles while allowing yourself to burn the whole county? When it comes to lives, do you think you’ve taken fewer than I have?

Hmph!

Who cares about those women’s lives? I want the life inside that belly. No one should dare compete with my son!

Ms. Jin Ning watched the back of her eldest daughter-in-law, smirked coldly, and drained her coffee, a hint of ruthlessness emerging.

Only she was fit to be her son’s mother, but as for who would be her grandson’s mother, she didn’t care, as long as it was her son’s child!

You’re still too green, daughter-in-law. Even now, you’re playing the leftover games I played in my day!

Unwilling?

Unwillingness is all you can feel, because I am your mother-in-law!
