It Started With a Kiss: Leng Shao's Beloved Wife

Undercurrent

The seal on the document bag was open, revealing a corner of a document inside. The words "Equity Transfer Agreement" were faintly visible. Director Lin's face turned pale, his lips trembled slightly, and he was speechless for a long time. He never imagined that the secret he had carefully hidden would be discovered by Wu Xinyan.

"You and your opponent Chen signed this agreement privately, right?" Wu Xinyan's tone was calm, yet filled with unquestionable certainty. "You exploited your position to leak company secrets to him in exchange for a generous reward, correct?"

Director Lin's face turned pale, and he wanted to explain himself, but he couldn't. He looked at Luo Yichen for help, but he saw that he just looked at him coldly, without a trace of trust in his eyes.

"I...I..." Director Lin hesitated, cold sweat on his forehead, "I just..."

"Just what? Just because you were blinded by money, betrayed the company, and betrayed President Luo who trusted you?" Wu Xinyan pressed on step by step, every word hurtful.

"I didn't!" Director Lin stood up suddenly and wanted to overturn the documents on the table, but Luo Yichen grabbed his wrist.

"Director Lin, at this point, are you still stubborn?" Luo Yichen's eyes were sharp and his tone was cold. "Do you think everything you did was really perfect?"

He threw documents after documents at Director Lin, each one serving as irrefutable proof of his betrayal of the company. Director Lin slumped in his chair, his eyes hollow. He knew he was finished.

Luo Yichen didn't even look at him again. He directly ordered Secretary Zhao: "Call the police and hand Director Lin over to the police. The company will hold him accountable for all legal responsibilities."

"Yes, Mr. Luo." Secretary Zhao picked up the phone and called the police.

The company was in an uproar. No one had expected that the always respected Director Lin would do such a thing. They looked at Wu Xinyan with admiration. This seemingly weak woman had single-handedly exposed the conspiracy.

Luo Yichen walked over to Wu Xinyan and gently held her hand, his eyes full of admiration and love. He knew that without her, the company might really be in trouble.

However, at this moment, Luo Yichen's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his expression instantly became solemn.

"Hey?"

"Mr. Luo, something terrible has happened..." came the assistant's anxious voice from the other end of the line, "The company's stock price... the company's stock price..."

"...The company's stock price has plummeted by twenty points! And it's still falling!" The assistant's voice trembled slightly, and he was obviously frightened by this sudden change.

Luo Yichen's grip on the phone suddenly tightened, veins bulging, and his face darkened as if water could drip out. He barely needed to think before he guessed who was behind this. Chen, the old fox, would not miss any opportunity to strike a blow against the Luo family.

"What's the current situation with Director Lin?" Luo Yichen suppressed his anger, his voice terribly low.

"It's been on the news, and now the internet is full of reports about it..." The assistant's voice gradually became quieter and almost inaudible.

Luo Yichen hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. He knew that now was not the time to be angry. The most urgent thing was to stabilize the situation and not let Chen's opponent succeed.

Wu Xinyan had been standing next to Luo Yichen, hearing his conversation clearly. She knew that a bigger storm was coming, and they were standing at the center of it.

"It was Chen's opponent who did it, right?" Wu Xinyan held Luo Yichen's hand and asked softly, her tone firm and calm.

Luo Yichen said nothing, only nodded, but the coldness in his eyes grew even stronger. Chen's opponent's move was extremely vicious. He not only used the Director Lin incident to damage Luo's reputation, but also wanted to use this opportunity to completely destroy Luo's financial chain.

Sure enough, bad news came one after another.

"Mr. Luo, Investor Sun called and said he wants to cancel the project we're cooperating on..." Secretary Zhao hurried over, his face pale and his tone anxious.

"I understand." Luo Yichen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress the emotions surging in his heart. Investor Sun was an old partner of the Luo Group, and this withdrawal of investment was undoubtedly a further blow to the Luo Group.

For a time, everyone in the company was in a panic. The originally peaceful office area was like a huge rock thrown into it, causing a thousand waves.

Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan exchanged a glance, a determined glint in their eyes. The more critical the moment, the more they must not lose their composure.

"Notify all directors to hold an emergency board meeting in ten minutes!" Luo Yichen ordered in a deep voice, his tone filled with unquestionable majesty.

Before the storm comes a deeper tranquility. At this moment, the Luo Group was in the midst of such a tranquility, yet everyone knew that a major battle was imminent. Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan entered the conference room side by side. They faced not only a test of the company's survival, but also a choice between good and evil in human nature... The atmosphere in the boardroom was heavy, and every director's face was filled with anxiety and unease. Luo Yichen sat at the head of the table, his sharp gaze sweeping across the room. His powerful aura instantly quieted the once-noisy room.

"Everyone," Luo Yichen said in a deep and powerful voice, "I believe you have all heard about Director Lin's situation. This incident has had a serious impact on the reputation of the Luo Group. We must take measures as soon as possible to recover the losses."

"Mr. Luo, the company's stock price has plummeted and there are problems with the capital chain. What should we do?" a director asked anxiously, with a hint of panic in his tone.

"I've arranged for the Finance Department to urgently raise funds and have also contacted other investors. I believe the funding issue will be resolved soon." Luo Yichen's tone was firm, giving off a strong sense of confidence. "As for the stock price, we need to stabilize market sentiment and clarify the facts first. I believe the stock price will rebound soon."

Wu Xinyan, standing by, silently observed the expressions of the directors. She keenly noticed that in addition to worry, some of them also had a hint of gloating in their eyes. It seemed that this crisis was not just an attack from external forces, but also a reshuffle within the Luo Group.

"Secretary Zhao, is there any progress in the public relations department?" Wu Xinyan turned to look at Secretary Zhao who was standing behind Luo Yichen.

"I've arranged for people to collect and organize relevant evidence to prove that Director Lin's personal behavior has nothing to do with the company. I've also contacted major media outlets and am preparing to hold a press conference to clarify the facts." Secretary Zhao reported on the progress of his work in a clear and organized manner. "I believe we'll be able to calm public opinion and restore the company's reputation soon."

Secretary Zhao's report gradually calmed the panicked directors. They began to believe that even in the face of such a huge crisis, Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan were still capable of leading the Luo Group through it.

Over the next few days, Luo's Group, led by Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan, actively responded to the crisis. They pursued legal action to hold Director Lin accountable, while also actively communicating with investors to stabilize market confidence. Secretary Zhao also fully utilized her public relations skills, successfully swaying public opinion in Luo's favor through a series of PR tactics.

Thanks to their joint efforts, Luo's stock price gradually recovered, and the company's operations gradually returned to normal. However, Wu Xinyan's heart was always shrouded in a haze. Director Lin's betrayal was like a time bomb, making her realize that there was an even greater crisis hidden within Luo's group.

She began to investigate the whole story of Director Lin's incident, hoping to find the mastermind behind it. However, as she investigated further, she discovered that the matter was far more complicated than she had imagined, and even involved her own life experience...

"How could this happen?" Wu Xinyan looked at the document in her hand, her face turning pale instantly, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief. She gripped the document tightly, as if she wanted to crush it, muttering to herself, "This is impossible..."

Wu Xinyan felt dizzy, as the document in her hand seemed to transform into a cold, venomous snake, tightly wrapping around her throat, choking her breath. This document, just delivered by Secretary Zhao, contained detailed records of Director Lin's financial transactions over the years. She had initially assumed it was just a simple case of embezzlement, but she hadn't expected such a shocking secret to lie beneath.

The documents clearly showed that Director Lin had been secretly transferring funds to an overseas account for many years, and the ultimate beneficiary of this account was... Wu Xinyan herself?!

"This is impossible..." Wu Xinyan slumped weakly onto the sofa, her mind a tangle. She had grown up in an orphanage, never met her parents, and knew nothing of her own past. How could she be connected to Director Lin? And how could she be the beneficiary of his corruption scheme?

"There must be some mistake..." Wu Xinyan forced herself to calm down and carefully looked through the documents in her hands. Every transaction record was clear and concise, and every transfer voucher was authentic and trustworthy. She couldn't help but believe it.

Could it be that... I wasn't an abandoned orphan, but someone had deliberately hidden my identity? And Director Lin was inextricably linked to my life story?

A terrifying thought flooded her mind, and Wu Xinyan felt unprecedented fear and confusion. She desperately wanted to know the truth, but she was afraid that the truth was too cruel for her to bear.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the office door. Luo Yichen's tall figure appeared at the door, his deep eyes filled with worry. "Xinyan, what's wrong? Why do you look so bad?"

Wu Xinyan suddenly looked up at the man she relied on, her heart filled with a struggle. Should she tell him? Should she tell him that her life story might be a huge lie, that the crisis they were facing was far more complicated than she had imagined?

"Yi Chen..." Wu Xinyan opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't say anything. The documents in her hands seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, making her unable to breathe.

Luo Yichen noticed her strangeness, walked quickly to her side, and gently hugged her in his arms: "Don't be afraid, tell me if there is anything, we will face it together."

"I..." Wu Xinyan took a deep breath and finally made up her mind, "I seem to have discovered something very important, something that is related to my life experience..."

Before she could finish her words, the office door was pushed open again, and Secretary Zhao walked in panicked. "Boss Luo, this is bad! Boss Chen is here with a few investors, and they want to... withdraw their investment!"
