Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Novel - Chapter 1303

Chapter 1303: Has Xia Ruya Joined That Organization?

Although Celestial Detective Agency’s answer gave Wen Xinya a great shock, she felt that it did make sense after giving it some thought.

Xia Ruya was an intelligent person and Wen Xinya was certain that Xia Ruya definitely knew about how daunting Ning Shuqian’s supporters were. Given how careful she was, how could she have gotten herself involved with those dangerous people?

After some thorough thinking, she deduced that Xia Ruya definitely didn’t know what kind of an organization the Korean-Chinese Alliance really was. Her predicament in Harbor City was rather terrible and it was as if she was stepping on eggshells, every waking moment of her life there. Hence, it was understandable that the despicable Xia Ruya would concede, especially since she liked being a smart aleck.

I should have realized this earlier. The Korean-Chinese Alliance is just like a contagious virus that would spread amongst people. Since Xia Ruya and Ning Shuqian were on such close terms with each other, Xia Ruya would definitely have been influenced by Ning Shuqian.

Wen Xinya said in a gloating manner, “She wouldn’t have ended up in such a plight if she didn’t bring it upon herself. Xia Ruya loves making use of others, but little does she know that she has already become someone else’s pawn.”

She had never thought that the Korean-Chinese Alliance was kind, but she was rather happy with them this time because they had roped the troublemaker Xia Ruya in.

Noticing the smile on her face, Si Yiyan said, “You’re being too idealistic.” He did not wish to be a wet blanket but still did it anyway.

The Korean-Chinese Alliance’s relationship with the Li Family was different from that of their relationship with the Wen Family. The Li Family wouldn’t receive a huge blow just because of the Korean-Chinese Alliance, nor would they think that the Korean-Chinese Alliance was out to harm them.

Wen Xinya asked indignantly, “How is that so?”

Si Yiyan explained, “The situations are different. The Wen Family is being attacked by the Korean-Chinese Alliance simply because they refuse to fall into the trap laid by the alliance. Unlike the Wen Family, Xia Ruya was the one who initiated a cooperation with the Korean-Chinese Alliance and in some way, she has already formed a win-win collaboration with them.”

The Wen Family was the enemy that they wanted to destroy while the Li Family was their accomplice.

Wen Xinya’s eyes widened in disbelief and she asked, “You mean, Xia Ruya has already joined the Korean-Chinese Alliance?”

It was no wonder that Wen Xinya would think that way. Ever since she found out about the Korean-Chinese Alliance, she had been finding them to be extremely mysterious and careful. If it weren’t because Xia Ruya was one of their members, they wouldn’t have helped her at all, unless… they were planning to use Xia Ruya to harm the entire Li Corporation.

Si Yiyan shook his head and said, “That might not be the case. The Korean-Chinese Alliance is so mysterious. I’m sure you know that not everyone can join them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to be so secretive. I’m guessing that the Korean-Chinese Alliance is trying to use Xia Ruya to control the Li Family, so as to plant their roots in the upper-class society of Harbor City. However, it’s not necessary for her to join the organization, for they could have just established a win-win deal with Xia Ruya as normal businessmen do.”

Not all of the families or corporations that were linked to the Korean-Chinese Alliance were their members. Some of the associations could purely be for business while others may just be a normal partnership.

The Korean-Chinese Alliance managed to stay so secretive because they were good at disguising themselves as normal businessmen.

Wen Xinya immediately thought of something. “That doesn’t eliminate the fact that cooperation might be one of their ways to recruit a new member. So, it’s likely that Xia Ruya is one of the members of the Korean-Chinese Alliance, right?”

How did the members of the Korean-Chinese Alliance come about? Wouldn’t they have to recruit new members?

Of course they had to.

The only way to bring in more members was through such win-win collaborations, though Wen Xinya was unsure of what the process was like. However, she felt that it was very likely for the selfish Xia Ruya to join the organization, especially since she was closely connected to Ning Shuqian, one of the borderline members of the alliance.

Si Yiyan smiled and said, “You’re right.”

That was what he was planning to say.

As happy as a lark, Wen Xinya said agitatedly, “I think Xia Ruya is a lead that we can follow. If Xia Ruya were to really join the Korean-Chinese Alliance, we’ll be able to use her to launch an attack on them.”

She felt that they would be able to remove the mask of the Korean-Chinese Alliance because of Xia Ruya.

Si Yiyan stared at her flushed face and glittery eyes. “Don’t forget that this is just an assumption. Although your conjecture is very likely to be true, it’s not that plausible for now.”

Regardless of how the Korean-Chinese Alliance recruited its members, Wen Xinya and Si Yiyan would not be able to get any useful information for now.

Wen Xinya sulked and said with a look of dejection in her eyes, “You’re right. These are just my conjectures and they don’t seem very plausible for now. However, it takes more than just a few days to deal with the Korean-Chinese Alliance and we can take it slow. Since Xia Ruya has forged connections with the organization, she’ll definitely be of some use.”

They were in no hurry to track down the leads and she was well aware that it would be difficult to deal with the organization.

Si Yiyan said, “You’re right. As long as she has contacted them, there will definitely be traces. Xia Ruya is a useful lead.”

The alliance probably doesn’t know that we’ve already found out so much about them and are planning to attack them.

Extremely elated, Wen Xinya changed the subject. “Did you find out anything about the Zhou Family?”

The Zhou Family was a political family in Capital city that commanded great respect. Although Old Mr. Zhou had already retired, the Zhou Family was still the core of Capital city’s politics while the Gu Family had a dubious background. She guessed that the Zhou Family must have disapproved of the Gu Junling because of the Gu Family.

Of course, Wen Xinya also suspected that the Zhou Family had some feud with the Gu Family and hence, disapproved of Zhou Tianyu’s and Gu Junling’s relationship.

Si Yiyan’s eyes glistened and he answered, “Not much for now. The Zhou Family is not an ordinary family, so it’s difficult to investigate them.”

Despite feeling a little disappointed, Wen Xinya knew that Si Yiyan had made sense. “In that case, go ahead and check on it slowly. I’m not in a hurry, anyway.”

The only thing she could do now was to keep an eye on Zhou Tianyu and Gu Junling.
