Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Novel - Chapter 1897

Chapter 1897: Colonel Xu Is Merely Showing Off

Ever since Chu Jingnan took over the Xiao Corporation, Wen Xinya had been closely following the Xiao Family and the Xiao Corporation’s actions.

She had also asked Liu Yanhua to arrange for Old Mr. Xiao to find out about Xiao Jingnan and the Li Corporation.

The father and son of the Xiao Corporation had tolerated for many years and would probably act soon.

Things in the Xiao Corporation had always been smooth-sailing for Chu Jingnan. Now that the Li Corporation could barely sustain itself, after losing its backing, Chu Jingnan would very soon have a taste of falling from heaven to hell.

Seeing that it was almost time, Wen Xinya tidied up the related information regarding the Korean-Chinese Alliance and sent it to Xu Zhenyu. The next morning, Xu Zhenyu came to the Wen Corporation personally to look for her.

Wen Xinya instructed Assistant Yang. “Cancel everything that has been arranged for me this afternoon. If there’s anything important, CEO Cao will handle it on my behalf. Nobody is allowed to come and disturb me.”

The office instantly quietened down.

Xu Zhenyu was wearing a neat and pencil-straight military uniform, had yet to even remove the military badges on his epaulet, and was oozing temptation of abstinence and uniforms, a misfit with the simple and concise corporate style of the office.

Wen Xinya burst out laughing. “Colonel Xu is actually here to show off!”

The solemn and serious Xu Zhenyu, clad in military uniform, radiated the spirit of a brigadier general officer who had been through thousands of trials. He was like a towering, imposing mountain filled with shining spears and armored horses—it was almost suffocating.

Even she couldn’t help but be affected.

Wen Xinya had a strong aura, the kind of majesty of a superior, and Xu Zhenyu’s imposing spirit was the firm and unyielding sort of a military leader who had been through life and death.

Xu Zhenyu’s tough and solemn expression gradually fell apart and he involuntarily looked at her helplessly. “Girl, can you be more serious—I’m here to look for you today regarding important matters and you’re still in the mood to joke around.”

After the Wen Corporation’s entertainment city money laundering case concluded, it was fully handed over to him.

During this period, he had been studying the related information. Unexpectedly, the information was indeed too perfect, so much so that he totally couldn’t find any loophole.

If he hadn’t suspected the entertainment city money laundering case, such perfect evidence wouldn’t arouse his suspicion.

However, precisely because he had already suspected, the perfection before his eyes appeared like a smokescreen. Thus, he became even warier of this mysterious criminal syndicate behind the Zhang Corporation.

Therefore, he hadn’t dared to act.

Just then, he received the information that Wen Xinya sent him.

The information was extensive, yet its contents were shuddering. He didn’t expect that this mysterious criminal syndicate that he was investigating was actually an international criminal group called the Korean-Chinese Alliance.

Following that, he went to look for his grandfather, activated the highest authority within the military, and retrieved the information regarding the Korean-Chinese Alliance held by the army from the military intelligence database.

What shook him was that the related information of the army was rather little, at less than 20% of what Wen Xinya had given him. It was only up to this point that he realized just how scary this group was.

He immediately rushed over to look for Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya looked at Xu Zhenyu’s slightly twitching face and started laughing. “Act! Why aren’t you acting anymore?”

Xu Zhenyu’s agelastic and solemn mannerisms just now almost even struck fear in her.

Xu Zhenyu couldn’t help but be exasperated as he immediately undid the buttons on his military uniform, removed it right before Wen Xinya, and threw it on the sofa. “Girl, go get me a cup of Tieguanyin—the finest type from Dongting.”

Saying that he even crossed his legs in a flashy manner.

Wen Xinya couldn’t help but kick him. “Wow, you really think you’re the boss!”

Despite saying that, she still turned back, walked into the office pantry, and carefully brewed him a cup of Tieguanyin.

The aroma of the tea suffused the room. However, the person drinking the tea downed it like a bull, unable to tell chalk from cheese, and wasted her expensive fine tea. Regarding this, Wen Xinya already couldn’t be bothered to comment.

Xu Zhenyu put down the teacup in his hand and said, “Xinya, be honest with me—what exactly is the Korean-Chinese Alliance about?”

From the information from the army, this group was definitely beyond Xinya’s reach at her current level. Moreover, she held even more information than the army—this made him inevitably think about Ninth Si.

Wen Xinya sipped on Biluochun tea leisurely. “It’s a long story…”

Thus, she summarized the grudges between the Wen Family and the Korean-Chinese Alliance, including her mother’s death, her disappearance, Ning Shuqian marrying into the Wen Family, Xia Ruya becoming related to the Wen Family, the entertainment city project, as well as Xia Ruya joining this group.

Xu Zhenyu was flabbergasted. He looked at Wen Xinya with a complicated expression and couldn’t speak for a long time.

At this point, he was feeling overwhelmed with regret and hatred.

The feelings that he had long gotten over were surging in his heart right now. Only now did he know exactly what did he miss out by leaving the Capital City for three years.

After that, Wen Xinya sighed slightly and said, “This group is too well-hidden—it has operated in China for many years, has deep and powerful connections, and has already infiltrated the military, political, business, entertainment, and all kinds of areas. Precisely so, all along, we’ve never dared to act rashly. We’ve spent years devising a Plan S against this group—as for the detailed information of the plan, Si Yiyan will tell you when the time comes!”

The entire Plan S had already been completed. After she disintegrated the Li Corporation and Chu Jingnan lost the power to control the Xiao Corporation, the plan would be fully activated—nobody in the Korean-Chinese Alliance would be able to escape.

Xu Zhenyu calmed his complicated emotions down. “You’re telling me these in order to cooperate with the army?”

Xu Zhenyu was very cautious regarding cooperation.

While he trusted Wen Xinya, he didn’t trust Ninth Si fully.

This man was indeed too mysterious. Whenever he thought about the civil war in Iraq previously, he couldn’t help but be fear-stricken—a person who could change the history of a country was more than merely rich.

Wen Xinya nodded. “As a friend, I can tell you that without the help of me and Si Yiyan, it’s impossible for the army to eradicate all of this group’s operations in China. Without getting rid of them completely, this power would come back stronger sooner or later.”

It wasn’t that she doubted the army’s capabilities.

However, this group implicated too many sensitive areas. From the army’s standpoint, they had political and diplomatic considerations and even many minor sensitive factors. As such, any action within the military was subjected to too many restrictions.

She believed that Xu Zhenyu understood this point.

Xu Zhenyu fell silent and only said after half a moment, “This is a matter of great importance. I need to consider it thoroughly before giving you an answer.”
