Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

"Your Majesty, the situation has been thoroughly investigated."

Zhao Zhen didn't let Sun Tong wait too long. Sun Tong gave him two days, but he only took less than a day to investigate the situation clearly.

"Tell me, what's going on!"

"Your Majesty, according to the investigation of the Royal Intelligence Bureau, in the past month, Her Highness the Grand Princess has only come into contact with a total of 162 people. Excluding our own people, we have focused on investigating the remaining 21 people. Three of these people are suitors of the Grand Princess. They all come from local families in Nanhua. We have also investigated their whereabouts and some of their conversations with the Grand Princess. Now we have basically ruled out the suspicion that they have influenced the Grand Princess. In addition to the above three people, fifteen of the remaining eighteen people have only met the Grand Princess once, so their suspicion can also be ruled out. As for the remaining three people, the situation is more special."

At this point, Zhao Zhen took the initiative to pause for a moment. This was naturally done to allow Sun Tong to better absorb what he had just said.

"Go on, what's so special about these three people?"

"Among these three people, one is Her Royal Highness the Princess, another is the Deputy Secretary-General of the South China Women's Federation, and the last one is the Director of the Dragon Country Embassy in South China."

"Why, you're not going to say that Jing Ruo is a suspect, are you?"

Sun Tong knew that his eldest daughter was interested in politics, but he believed even more that Sun Jingruo would not take advantage of his aunt. After all, strictly speaking, the girl grew up under the care of Sun Xiaoting. Sun Tong did not believe that the child of the old Sun family would grow up to be a cold-blooded political creature.

"Well, now the suspicion of Her Highness the Princess has been ruled out by 70% to 80%. Because it is impossible to investigate the entire conversation between the Princess and the Grand Princess, I naturally dare not give Your Majesty a 100% guarantee. But among these three people, the Princess is the least suspicious. Or it can be said that Her Highness the Princess herself is not very suspicious. It is only because it is impossible to investigate all the circumstances that the Princess is left on the list of suspects."

"Okay, I trust Jing Ruo, so she can be excluded from the list first. Let's talk about the other two people."

"The official from Dragon Country actually ruled him out as a suspect. After all, this man only had contact with the eldest princess twice, and during these two times, he and the eldest princess never met alone. Although the two had conversations during this period, the content of the conversations was basically normal communication. I don't think he can influence the eldest princess with just these two meetings."

"Don't make such a hasty decision. Let me ask you, are you sure they didn't know each other before these two meetings?"

"I am sure of this, because this officer was only assigned to Nanhua forty days ago."

"Then this person's suspicion can indeed be ruled out. Then tell me about the person you left behind. Judging from your appearance, you must be very suspicious of this deputy secretary-general, right?"

Sun Tong, the deputy secretary-general of the Women's Federation, actually knew this person. In fact, Sun Tong not only knew this person, but was also very familiar with her, because this person was Carl's third daughter, An Chengmei Qian Ning. Because this girl was born to Carl and his Chinese wife, the girl's name was so strange. An was the surname of Carl's wife, An Chengmei was also the girl's Chinese name, and Qian Ning was Carl's surname.

The reason this girl was able to become the deputy secretary-general of the Women's Federation was not because of her background. In fact, she was recommended by Sun Tong's three daughters-in-law and Sun Jingruo. Moreover, after this girl became the deputy secretary-general of the Women's Federation, Sun Tong specially sent her into the personal space once.

In other words, An Chengmei is absolutely loyal to Sun Tong and Nanhua.

Now Zhao Zhen said that he suspected An Chengmei, that was because this guy didn’t understand the situation of the portable space, but Zhao Zhen didn’t understand that Sun Tong did.

This means that all clues have been cut off at this point in the investigation. Sun Tong is even now wondering whether Sun Xiaoting has been stimulated recently.

"Your Majesty, this is the situation. Although I think there is nothing wrong with Miss Qian Ning, she is the only one left who is most suspicious. Do you think I should invite Miss Qian Ning to the Royal Intelligence Bureau for a visit?"

Sun Tong did not hear all of Zhao Zhen's words, but he heard most of them. Sun Tong had also heard about some of Zhao Zhen's affairs from his three wives, and this in turn ruled out An Chengmei's final suspicion. The whole investigation had indeed reached a dead end here. In this case, even if Sun Tong felt that something was fishy, ​​he could not continue investigating.

"Forget it. This matter has nothing to do with Xiaomei. As for the situations you just mentioned, I actually knew about them a long time ago, and this actually eliminates Xiaomei's suspicion. Forget it, let's leave it here for now. You can arrange for someone to continue investigating the people around Xiaoting, but this time there is no need to make a big fuss like before."

"The minister obeys the order!"
