As an experienced police officer, William Walker has an extraordinary sensitivity to any illegal fundraising activities.

What’s more, Eugene Young’s Yunfan Family has long been conclusively found guilty of illegal fundraising. Because it’s closely related to the Wang family, William Walker still clearly remembers most of the details from the case briefing.

His aunt is not a foolish person—how could she have been bewitched by Eugene Young?

“Illegal fundraising?”

Julia Walker was both annoyed and amused.

“Who told you that?”

William Walker fell silent for a moment. It seemed that, in his aunt’s eyes, he was just a clueless kid who knew nothing about the ways of the world.

Strictly speaking, Julia Walker wasn’t wrong. It’s just that the current William Walker was no longer the naive, inexperienced nephew she thought he was.

William Walker adjusted his thoughts and said seriously, “Aunt, this isn’t just a rumor—it’s a fact right in front of us. Haven’t you noticed that Yunfan Family doesn’t have any real industry to speak of? They’re always raising funds, constantly attracting private capital with high interest rates, using new loans to pay off old ones. Sooner or later, this will collapse—the capital chain will break.”

Julia Walker just laughed, shaking her head, her disdain written all over her face. “William Walker, I don’t know where you heard such nonsense. Who says Yunfan Family doesn’t have real businesses? You just don’t know about them. They have plenty of businesses, and their operations are very broad. All the funds raised have already been invested in production, and the profits are high... So, you really don’t need to worry about others.”

“But as for you, I have to remind you: in just one month, you’ll be graduating and soon becoming a member of the people’s police. You really need to change your careless attitude, and your temper needs to change even more!”

Julia Walker’s expression unconsciously became very serious.

“Just like what happened this morning—I can let it go, since you’re my nephew and I’m your aunt, right? Eugene Young won’t hold it against you either; he forgives you for being a child who doesn’t understand things! But you must remember, not everyone in society is so understanding. Especially after you become a police officer, you need to be even more careful—beware of those desperate criminals!”

“Do you understand? You absolutely cannot get into trouble again!”

Julia Walker’s expression softened a bit, and she spoke earnestly.

What Julia Walker said was heartfelt.

William Walker is not the eldest son in the family, but the second. He has an older brother, so the elders in the family habitually call him “second son.” However, William Walker’s older brother died young many years ago and never grew up.

Now, Charles Walker and his wife have only this one child, and they treasure him dearly.

William Walker couldn’t help but feel a bit exasperated.

It seemed he had oversimplified things. He thought that just by reminding Julia Walker, with her intelligence and experience, she would surely see through Eugene Young and Yunfan Family’s problems and naturally distance herself from Eugene Young, thus achieving his goal.

But now, it was clear that it wasn’t going to be that easy.

When malignant illegal fundraising cases haven’t yet erupted on a large scale and become a public scourge, people’s vigilance against such crimes is generally low. Plus, Eugene Young is very good at packaging himself, wears many dazzling halos, and has connections with many big names. For a young man like him to try to persuade his aunt with just a few casual words was really wishful thinking.

As Julia Walker said, the only reason she didn’t hold him accountable was because of their close aunt-nephew relationship. If someone else dared to talk such nonsense, they would have been dealt with so harshly their own parents wouldn’t recognize them.

But the crisis was already looming.

Since that’s the case, he’d have to think of another way.

Chapter 6 What Can Shut Your Mouth?

Yunfan Tower, soaring into the clouds!

This landmark building stands in the bustling downtown of Yun City. Two years ago, it was the tallest building in Yun City. Back then, it wasn’t called this—it was called Yundu Supply and Marketing Tower.

Later, Eugene Young spent a lot of money, and the building was renamed Yunfan Tower.

Naturally, the headquarters of Yunfan Family Co., Ltd. is also located in Yunfan Tower.

Yunfan Tower has twenty-two floors, which was a rare height in the 1990s.

Yunfan Family’s office area occupies the entire nineteenth, twentieth, twenty-first, and twenty-second floors—four whole floors. Every office is spacious, the décor is extremely exquisite, even luxurious.

Even the most basic employee offices use rosewood office furniture.

For managers and above, every office is furnished with genuine leather sofas!

Although Yun City is the capital of Tiannan Province, it has never had such a lavish company. Even those famous state-owned enterprises can’t compare to Yunfan Family in terms of luxury and extravagance.

Every day, at least over two hundred employees work at Yunfan Family’s headquarters. Watching those well-dressed, handsome young men and beautiful women coming and going in Yunfan Tower, driving shiny cars and carrying stylish leather bags, it’s truly enviable.

Now this is what a big company should look like!

To say that such a company is actually an empty shell, a paper company buying and selling nothing, no one would ever believe it.

Except for the core employees inside Yunfan Family.

They are well aware of Yunfan Family’s secrets, but Eugene Young isn’t worried about them leaking anything. Boss Yang has always treated his men generously.

Of course, if a traitor ever did appear, General Manager Yang would show no mercy.

Those tough guys he keeps around him are not to be trifled with.
