When Song Fan arrived at the bank, the teller took one look at the key and immediately escorted her with the utmost respect to the VIP lounge.

When the manager walked in and saw her, he wasn’t surprised. “Miss Song, hello, I am the manager for VIP safe deposit box users. Are you here to open the safe deposit box?”

Song Fan nodded. “Do you need my identification or any other proof?”

“Your ID needs to be entered into the system. There will be an electronic scan when you enter the vault.” The manager replied very respectfully, “Mrs. Yu Wan’s safe deposit box was instructed to be opened only by her children, so you can go directly into the vault. However, this gentleman will need to wait here.”

Song Fan hadn’t expected her mother to arrange things this way from the beginning. She also hadn’t anticipated that the identity verification at the central bank would be so lenient. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You don’t need to verify my identity further?” she asked, a bit puzzled.

“No, Mrs. Yu Wan’s, or rather, Old Mr. Yu’s safe deposit box has been with the bank for decades, and it’s always been exclusively for the Yu family. This is an unwritten rule since our bank was founded.”

The manager explained, “I only handle three families as the VIP manager. I have been the dedicated manager for the Yu family since your mother. I recognize not only the key but also the people.”

The manager gave Song Fan an earnest smile and then led her directly to the vault.

The security in the vault was very strict, with at least two security personnel guarding each door.

The first two doors only required fingerprint recognition and password input, but the subsequent doors needed the manager’s iris recognition to open.

The keys to the safe deposit box were held by both the manager and Song Fan. Both of them had to be present to open the box, and once it was open, the manager left.

Song Fan took a deep breath and was stunned when she opened the safe deposit box. Inside were over a dozen boxes of high-end jade jewelry, as well as some uncut diamonds and small raw stones.

Beneath these jewels were two file folders.

The first file folder contained various jewelry design sketches, signed “Hua,” which was the name of Song Fan’s grandfather. It appeared these were his jewelry design drafts.

The second file folder contained a detailed list of the Yu family’s assets, down to the chassis numbers of every car and the purchase invoices.

All the inherited jewelry had photos and numbers. There were more than just the items in the safe deposit box; there were also other pieces of jewelry and loose diamonds that Song Fan had never seen before, as well as Old Mr. Yu’s will.

Song Fan’s confusion grew. After her grandfather’s death, her mother should have been the primary heir. Moreover, after Yu Wan’s death, the inheritance was supposed to be divided among the children, but since Song Yi was still alive, naturally, Song Yi would inherit all the Yu family’s assets. This was both logical and legal.

However, when she opened the will, she was shocked to see that her grandfather’s will clearly stated that all his assets were to be left to his grandchildren, including Song Fan and her brothers, not to Yu Wan.

Song Fan didn’t take everything from the safe deposit box. She only took her grandfather’s design drafts and then locked the safe deposit box again.

This matter lingered in her mind. She immediately called Song Kai to arrange a meeting.

When he heard she was inviting him for a meal, Song Kai eagerly arrived at the restaurant, ordering the most expensive items without any hesitation, regardless of whether he liked them or not. After placing the order, he pretended to go to the restroom and quickly paid the bill.

Song Fan looked at the lavish meal on the table, feeling speechless, already planning to pack it up for Lan Yue and the others.

Seeing her expression, Song Kai thought she was distressed over the cost and teased, “Miss Song, you’re handling an international jewelry brand project. Are you really worried about your Fourth Brother’s money?”

“I am. My salary isn’t much.” Song Fan shifted the topic calmly. “Unlike you guys, holding shares in the company. You must have quite a bit of money, right?”

“Our shares are all with Dad. Back then, we were all underage, so the shares have always been with him.” Song Kai didn’t mind, as Song Yi gave him pocket money anyway. “Besides, we don’t work at the Song Corporation. We all want to be self-sufficient, isn’t that great?”

Listening to him, Song Fan understood. Indeed, Song Yi controlled all the shares of the Song Family.

It was reasonable for the guardian to hold the shares of minors temporarily, but they were all adults now. Whether Song Yi had genuinely forgotten about this matter or didn’t intend to mention it was unknown.
