Chapter: 4942

As he spoke, An Kai-feng added: "I estimate that's what happened after they confirmed their mission had failed."

"Damn it!" An Zhunhou immediately cursed loudly: "These people are really getting too bold! They didn't take away any money or directly put it in the family trust. This is clearly a warning to us that they will come back again!"

In Europe and America, family trusts are an extremely stable asset protection method.

China has a saying that wealth only lasts for three generations, and this is ultimately because parents toiled hard to build up the family fortune, but their descendants squandered it away, looked down on it, and couldn't manage it well, making it easy for the family to go bankrupt overnight.

Ultimately, it's because the abilities and characters of the younger generation are uncontrollable. Once they encounter problems with their abilities and characters, it's hard to avoid the downfall of the family.

Not to mention, there are various natural disasters too.

However, a family trust effectively eliminates the risks of both natural disasters and human problems.

By putting one's money into the trust, one loses direct control over that money on the surface. Only one's descendants or designated heirs can take it out of the trust at a specific moment.

So, even if one encounters major problems in the future, leading to the family's debt, bankruptcy, or even going bankrupt, the government and creditors theoretically have no right to handle the family trust.

This is also why many old European families were able to maintain their wealth for several generations.

Although the Dong family has disappeared from this world, they put all their money into the family trust, which is a foolproof preservation method. They don't need to worry about someone taking over the company and losing control or worrying about the assets depreciating or experiencing unexpected events.

This money was invested in a trust, not only won't it decrease but will increase more and more. Even if it's the federal government, they can't take away any funds from within.

This action also implies that the Dong family, or the mysterious organization behind them, have taken a certain attitude.

The disappearance of humans is just a temporary strategic retreat. In the future, they will definitely come back to kill again.

Old Master said solemnly: "The Dong family's operation is so calm and decisive. I feel that they are unlikely to have been developed halfway by that mysterious organization. It's possible that they were members of that organization from start to finish."

When he got to this point, he looked at Third Uncle An Zhunuan seriously and said: "An Zhunuan, from the time you recognized Dong Lichen to getting married, it might be a complete trap!"

An Zhunuan hesitated for a moment, then said seriously: "Dad... what you're saying is probably not possible... I knew Dong Lichen when I was still in school. That organization couldn't have had its sights set on me 19 years ago, could it?"

Second Brother An Kai-feng suddenly thought of something and asked: "An Zhunuan, just now you said that you recognized Dong Lichen 19 years ago?"

"Yes," An Zhunuan nodded, speaking truthfully. "I recognized her in the last year of my master's degree at Harvard, which is indeed 19 years ago."

An Kai-feng muttered to himself: "Big Sister passed away 20 years ago..."

"Yes," An Zhunuan said. "It was the second year after Big Sister passed away that I recognized Dong Lichen..."

"Yes, this moment, An Kai-feng, An Chongqiu, and Old Master An Keishan all changed their facial expressions simultaneously!"

An Kai-feng exclaimed, "Big Sister passed away two years later, you recognized Dong Lichen... Dong Lichen was hiding by your side for exactly 19 years until this incident... They wanted to kill us, just like Big Sister's case back then. There must be a connection!"

Old Master An Keishan cried out in shock, "If that's the case, they killed Chengxi and Changying without being satisfied, and then carefully laid down a time-bomb that wouldn't explode for 19 years right next to us... What do these people want to do? If they're going to wipe out the entire An family, why wait so long?"

"Is that so?" Old Big Brother An Chongqiu also looked puzzled, opening his mouth to say, "Their strength is so strong. If there's a deep-seated grudge, no need to wait until today to strike at us..." JrNovels.com
