Wen Qing had selfishly kidnapped someone and caused a car accident with three casualties and one injured passenger. It was all over the news.
Everyone knew Wen Qing and Cheng Yuxiu were at odds. He had always thought Cheng Yuxiu was the one who caused his sister to die at a young age indirectly.
Hence, everyone was inclined to believe the shocking news because Cheng Yuxiu had indeed died in a car accident previously. There were four people in the car, and three of them had died. Back then, everyone was curious why Cheng Yuxiu was in a van, so that was why it became a hot topic now.
The Zong family was an influential family. Even their nanny wouldn’t ride in a van. In fact, there wasn’t any cheap van in their house. However, Cheng Yuxiu died in one. Wasn’t that suspicious? There must be something behind this.
Previously, the official statement explained it was merely a rear-end car accident. There might be suspicions, but no one dared to make wild guesses lest they get sued for spreading rumors. But after the news leaked, the netizens started discussing the incident.
Everyone was interested in gossip, especially gossip regarding the rich and powerful.
No one would be interested in a fight between commoners, but a fight between the rich and powerful was different.
The news had gone viral just because the Zong family was influential and wealthy.
Bai Yinning was dumbfounded. Wen Qing was an influential man, after all. Since the news had spread this quickly, something must’ve happened.
Could it be Zong Qifeng? Did he fall out with Wen Qing because of Cheng Yuxiu’s death? Bai Yinning mused silently.
There’s nothing else I can think of. Oh, wait a minute! His eyes widened abruptly.
Did Zong Jinghao find out about his real identity? Is he taking revenge on Wen Qing?
That means Wen Qing was indeed the one who caused Cheng Yuxiu’s death?
That assumption made sense to him. Zong Qifeng would’ve fallen out with Wen Qing earlier on if he had that intention. Wen Qing had always been rude to Cheng Yuxiu, so only the latter made sense.
Zong Jinghao found out Cheng Yuxiu’s real identity, so he took revenge on Wen Qing because he needed an answer.
Bai Yinning was glad to see Wen Qing slip up this time. He deserves it for making my adoptive father suffer back then.
“Where are we going now?” Gao Yuan questioned. He seemed exhausted as he had been driving the entire night.
Bai Yinning looked at him and answered, “Wanyue Group.”
Gao Yuan sighed. He isn’t a fool, but why is he so stubborn when it comes to anything concerning her? He knows she’s married with kids, but he still loves her. I wonder what Lin Xinyan told him until he had to rush to B City the same night itself. That was an irrational decision.
He couldn’t understand his boss’ orders, but he didn’t voice his doubts and drove to Wanyue Group as ordered.
Right then, in the President’s office in Wanyue Group, the huge screen which had always been used during conference calls or used to observe the stock market trend was used to watch the news instead.
Both Su Zhan and Shen Peichuan were lying on the sofa lazily while watching the news.
Zong Jinghao’s plan had worked. The man Gu Bei sent to carry out an investigation had picked up the clue arranged by Shen Peichuan and found out Wen Qing was involved in Chen Qing’s downfall.
When something happened to Chen Qing, Gu Bei had suspected Wen Qing would help Chen Qing because of their prior relationship. To his surprise, Wen Qing turned a blind eye. He was utterly disappointed with Wen Qing’s actions.
That was why he trusted the investigation report handed to him by his subordinate. Besides, he also found out Wen Qing had indeed forced Zong Jinghao to marry, so he was certain the report was true.
His subordinate reported that Zong Jinghao and Wen Qing were at odds because of a woman. Back then, Zong Jinghao had a lover he adored very much, but Wen Qing hated that woman. So, he did his best to break them up and ended up infuriating Zong Jinghao.
Of course, Shen Peichuan wouldn’t allow Gu Bei’s subordinate to find out the woman Wen Qing had forced to leave was none other than Chen Qing’s daughter.
Gu Bei’s subordinate only managed to find out that Wen Qing had forced Zong Jinghao to marry someone, but he couldn’t find out who that woman was.
If Gu Bei found out Wen Qing had forced Zong Jinghao to marry Chen Qing’s daughter, then it wouldn’t make sense for them to frame him for harming Chen Qing.
The results from both investigations were to let Gu Bei believe Wen Qing was behind Chen Qing’s downfall. He wanted Gu Bei to think of Wen Qing as a cruel and heartless man. The reason why Zong Jinghao deliberately revealed everything to Gu Bei was because he was at odds with Wen Qing.
That way, everything would make sense, and Gu Bei would immediately take action against Wen Qing.
If they turned against each other, it would be an interesting scene.
“Next, we’ll reveal the identities of the two other deceased in the car accident. Wen Qing won’t be able to deny his involvement in the matter.”
Once they revealed the fact that two other deceased were thugs, it would be obvious that Cheng Yuxiu died in the car accident because she was kidnapped.
He knew Gu Bei had evidence of Wen Qing asking him to kidnap Cheng Yuxiu. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken action when he knew who Wen Qing was.
He must’ve come well-prepared.
However, Zong Jinghao wasn’t about to let Gu Bei off the hook. Everyone who was involved in Cheng Yuxiu’s kidnapping would have to pay the price.
Right now, all they had to do was to wait until Gu Bei played all his cards before taking action.
They had managed to find the person who hired the little boy’s cousin. That person was none other than the subordinate of Gu Bei’s manager.
Hence, they had arranged for that subordinate to get in touch with Gu Bei’s manager. They would take photos secretly once both men met to prove Gu Bei was indeed involved in this matter.
As Wen Qing’s involvement was already a hot topic, it would be very entertaining if another bigshot were implicated.
“The sun has come up. Should we have some breakfast?” Shen Peichuan glanced at Zong Jinghao who was buried under a mountain of work on his desk.
The man’s shirt was wrinkled while his tie was hanging askew in front of his chest. As he had just acquired two major companies without prior notice, he had to deal with the consequences. First, he had to come up with a strategic plan in order for his investment not to go to waste by taking advantage of the companies and getting the maximum benefits possible.
Shen Peichuan shot Su Zhan a look. “We’ll get some takeout for him?”
They couldn’t stand by and do nothing when he was torturing himself, right? Their friend was busy dealing with Wen Qing and his company until he had no time to rest.
Su Zhan was really lethargic, too. He wouldn’t have stood up if Shen Peichuan hadn’t pulled him up.
When they opened the door, they bumped into Guan Jing who was leading someone to the office.
Shen Peichuan was stunned to see Bai Yinning here.
Did he come to interfere after hearing about Wen Qing’s matter?
