My Scheming Little Devil

She entered the Hua family home smoothly and without attracting any attention.

Hua Lunxi himself came to greet her, putting on the façade of discussing business, indicating with his words that she was an Asian businesswoman, intent on negotiating a deal with him.

Ye Lu also modulated her voice, aware that the Hua family might have informants of Yiren, necessitating caution in all matters.

Once in the study to discuss matters, Ye Lu stood up from the wheelchair and urgently asked Hua Lunxi where her father’s documents were.

Hua Linqi’s documents were more neatly organized than Nie Rong’s, arranged by year.

Ye Lu quickly found the documents related to her father’s business dealings in Southeast Asia.

However, Hua Lunxi was surprised to see those Southeast Asian business documents, "Our company’s extensive partner database doesn’t have records of collaborations with these Southeast Asian nations, nor any related documentation, otherwise I would have known."

Because he was in charge of Asian affairs, he knew well the partners his company had worked with.

Ye Lu frowned, "But this document indicates that my father visited the Golden Triangle area over twenty years ago and had dealings with them. Why is there no record? Was it forgotten?"

Hua Lunxi’s expression turned serious, "Impossible, even earlier events than that are recorded. Unless my uncle never entered the information into the system, or perhaps there’s another reason: the data was erased from the database!" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"So, whether it wasn’t recorded or it was erased, either scenario suggests there’s something complicated about this, indicating that my father didn’t want people to know," Ye Lu followed his line of thought, then exchanged a glance with him, both seeing the same suspicion flash in each other’s eyes.

"There must be a huge secret in this!" they exclaimed in unison.

Ye Lu was invigorated; she desperately wanted to uncover the secret her father was hiding, and whether this secret was related to Nie Rong and Su Feiman.

She hastily started to scrutinize the documents.

Hua Linqi’s records were much more comprehensive than Nie Rong’s, detailing his travels across Asia, and his business accomplishments with several Southeast Asian countries.

One of these was Su Feiman’s nation, N Nation.

"Why did all these small Asian nations seek business with my father at that time? Back then, our Hua family’s strength wasn’t that formidable, right?"

The more Ye Lu read, the more astonished she became; the documents suggested that the Hua family’s business in Asia was booming at the time, with many small nations collaborating with them.

"That’s right, back then the European and American markets were dominated by a few giants, and actually, my uncle was surviving in the cracks. This was also his opportunity to enter Asia, I suppose. On one hand, Asians didn’t trust Westerners, so they would lean more towards choosing my uncle, and on the other hand, twenty-some years ago was different from now. That was just the beginning of the information age, with very few information companies, and even fewer specialized ones."

Hua Lunxi paused.

"I think those small countries had no choice but to seek foreign enterprises, because in that era, Asia was very poor and backward, without any major information technology companies, so their choices were quite limited. And my uncle, in order to expand into the Asian market, must have offered sufficiently low prices!"

"The region had potential, so why did my father eventually withdraw from that market? That doesn’t seem like a businessman’s decision!"

Hua Lunxi shook his head, "I don’t know about that; I was still young at the time."

Suddenly, Ye Lu lifted up a page of the documents, her expression one of utter astonishment.
