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

Dawn returns

The phone screen went dark, but Wu Xinyan felt as if her world had been completely plunged into darkness by this call. The cause of her parents' death had always been the deepest scar in her heart, and now someone told her that the truth was not as simple as an accident.

"Xinyan, what's wrong? Who's calling?" Luo Yichen noticed something was wrong with her, walked over quickly, and supported her slightly trembling shoulders.

Wu Xinyan took a deep breath, trying to calm her surging emotions, and told him what had happened on the phone. Luo Yichen's face gradually darkened. He hugged Wu Xinyan tightly and said firmly, "Don't be afraid. I will investigate everything and give you an explanation."

After the party, the two returned home, the joyous atmosphere gone. They sat in the study and began to investigate the betrayer within the company.

"Only a few people within the company knew about Investor Sun's additional investment. Who leaked the news?" Wu Xinyan recalled carefully, trying to find any suspicious clues.

Luo Yichen calmly analyzed: "Besides us, the only ones who have access to core secrets are Director Lin and a few department managers."

"You mean, someone among them betrayed the company?" Wu Xinyan found it hard to believe. These people were all old employees of the company. How could they do such a thing?

"You can only know a person's face but not his heart." Luo Yichen's eyes flashed with a cold light. "For the sake of profit, nothing is impossible."

They developed a detailed plan and decided to start with an internal investigation. Luo Yichen secretly strengthened internal surveillance within the company and asked Secretary Zhao to secretly investigate the communication records and recent financial transactions of several suspects.

Time passed, but the investigation made no substantial progress. Just when Wu Xinyan was feeling overwhelmed, Luo Yichen brought a ray of hope.

"I've checked most of the suspects, and Director Lin seems to be the most likely suspect." Luo Yichen handed a document to Wu Xinyan. "This is Director Lin's recent communication records that Secretary Zhao found. He frequently contacts an unfamiliar number, and this number belongs to Chen's opponent."

Chen is the biggest competitor of the Luo Group and has always been eyeing Luo. If Director Lin really colludes with him, the consequences will be disastrous.

Wu Xinyan felt a surge of unease. She flipped through the documents in her hands, and suddenly, her eyes fixed on the date and time of an email. It was the day when Investor Sun confirmed the additional investment...

Wu Xinyan's heart tightened. The timing of the email was too coincidental, making her suspicious. The email content was encrypted, so she couldn't read it, but this only deepened her suspicion.

"Xinyan, what's wrong?" Luo Yichen asked with concern when he saw that her face looked strange.

Wu Xinyan pointed at the time the email was sent and said in a heavy tone, "Look, this time is exactly..."

Luo Yichen followed her finger and his expression grew serious. All signs indicated that Director Lin's suspicion was growing.

"It seems that we have to find a way to get the original text of this email." Luo Yichen pondered.

In order not to alert the enemy, they decided to start with Director Lin's assistant. A few days later, an accidental opportunity arose.

The company organized a physical examination for employees. Director Lin's assistant left the hospital early due to illness. Wu Xinyan, under the pretext of caring about the employee, visited the assistant at home with some gifts.

There was no one at the assistant's home. Wu Xinyan noticed that there was a laptop on the coffee table. The computer screen was on, and it showed Director Lin's email interface!

"God is helping me!" Wu Xinyan thought to herself. She took a deep breath, walked quickly to the computer, and entered the time the email was sent to search.

Soon, the suspicious email appeared on the screen. Wu Xinyan clicked on the email, her heart beating faster. The content of the email was indeed about Investor Sun's additional investment!

In the email, Director Lin revealed detailed internal information of the Roche Group to Chen's opponent, and expressed his willingness to help Chen's opponent bring down Roche in exchange for huge profits.

"It's him!" Wu Xinyan clenched her fists, seething with anger. She took a photo of the email and saved it, then quietly left her assistant's home.

After returning home, Wu Xinyan immediately told Luo Yichen the contents of the email. Looking at these hard evidences, Luo Yichen's eyes were filled with disappointment and anger.

"I thought I treated him well, but I didn't expect him to betray the company like this!" Luo Yichen said gritting his teeth.

"Now is not the time to be angry. We must find a way to deal with it as soon as possible." Wu Xinyan said calmly, "Opponent Chen already knows our plan and will definitely take advantage of the opportunity."

Luo Yichen nodded, quickly adjusted his mood, and began to think about how to deal with the situation.

Just then, Wu Xinyan's cell phone rang. It was a call from an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, is this Ms. Wu Xinyan? I'm a representative of an investment company, my name is..."

The voice on the other end of the line sounded familiar. Wu Xinyan thought carefully and suddenly remembered that it was an overseas investor she had met at a charity dinner. The other party had expressed interest in the new energy project she had mentioned.

"Mr. Li?!" Wu Xinyan exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, Ms. Wu, I'm glad you still remember me." Mr. Li on the other end of the phone said gently, "I've been paying attention to your company's projects recently. I think they have great development potential..."

Wu Xinyan glanced at Luo Yichen, motioning him to be quiet, then stepped aside and said in a low voice, "Mr. Li, you're so timely. I just happened to have a detailed project plan here..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then Mr. Li's voice came: "Okay, could you please send it to my email? I'll arrange a time to talk to you in detail as soon as possible..."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Xinyan excitedly said to Luo Yichen, "It's really like 'after many twists and turns, you may think there's no way out, but when you turn around, you'll find another village!' It seems we still have a chance..."

She walked to her computer, opened her mailbox, and began to edit an email. However, just as she was about to send the email, the door was suddenly thrown open, and a cold voice sounded behind her...

"What are you doing?!" Director Lin stood at the door angrily, his eyes fixed on the computer screen. He never expected that he would encounter such a scene when he just came back to pick up a document!

Wu Xinyan was stunned. She hadn't expected Director Lin to suddenly appear. After a brief moment of panic, she quickly calmed down and calmly closed her laptop.

"Director Lin, why are you back?" She said calmly, as if nothing had happened.

"I came back to get something," Director Lin said, scanning the room with a gloomy look. "But you, sneaking around like that, what are you doing behind my back?!"

Wu Xinyan sneered in her heart, but pretended to be innocent on the surface: "What can I do? I'm just sorting out some company information."

Director Lin obviously didn't believe her. He quickly walked to the computer and snatched the mouse away. "Let me see what you're looking at!"

Wu Xinyan was quick to move and grabbed his hand. "Director Lin, these are the company's confidential documents. Isn't this inappropriate?"

The two of them locked eyes, a tense atmosphere thick in the air. After a few seconds of silence, Director Lin snorted, "Wu Xinyan, don't think I don't know what you're thinking! You'd better behave yourself, otherwise..."

He said nothing more, but the threat was evident in his words.

Wu Xinyan met his gaze fearlessly. "I'm a decent person, so there's nothing to be afraid of. But Director Lin, why are you coming to the company instead of just resting at home? Are you worried about something being exposed?"

Director Lin was enraged by her words and was about to explode when his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his expression suddenly became even gloomier. "We're not done with this!" He glared at Wu Xinyan fiercely and left the office.

After Director Lin left, Wu Xinyan immediately called Luo Yichen and told him what had just happened. After listening, Luo Yichen said in a deep voice: "It seems that we have to speed up our actions."

Over the next few days, Wu Xinyan held several video conferences with overseas investors, detailing the company's development prospects and project advantages. With Secretary Zhao's assistance, Wu Xinyan prepared a detailed investment proposal that successfully attracted the attention of overseas investors.

Just when everything was going well, an accident happened...

"Mr. Wu, please take a look at this document." Secretary Zhao handed a document to Wu Xinyan with a serious expression.

Wu Xinyan took the document, opened it, and her face turned pale. It was an anonymous letter that read, "I know what you are doing. You'd better stop now, otherwise..." At the end of the letter, there was a blood-red skull.

"Mr. Wu, are you okay?" Secretary Zhao looked at Wu Xinyan worriedly. The content of the letter was simple and crude, but it revealed a chilling cruelty.

Wu Xinyan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. "I'm fine." She crumpled the letter into a ball, a fierce look flashing in her eyes. "It seems someone is anxious."

"Could it be Director Lin?" Secretary Zhao guessed. During this period, except for Director Lin, no one else seemed to show any abnormality.

"It's possible, but he probably doesn't have the guts." Wu Xinyan pondered for a moment. Her intuition told her that someone else was behind this. "I'll take care of this matter. Don't worry. Continue preparing for the meeting with Investor Sun."

"But..." Secretary Zhao wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Wu Xinyan, "Don't worry, I won't joke about my own safety."

After seeing Secretary Zhao off, Wu Xinyan immediately called Luo Yichen and told him about the anonymous letter.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything." Luo Yichen's voice was steady and powerful, like a reassurance, instantly calming Wu Xinyan's anxiety. "I will strengthen your security. Also, I've asked someone to investigate the source of this letter. I believe there will be results soon."

"Yeah." Wu Xinyan responded softly. Luo Yichen's firm support made her originally anxious heart gradually calm down.

Two days later, just as Wu Xinyan was about to leave for the airport to meet investor Sun, the person Luo Yichen sent to investigate got the news.

"Madam, we have found out that the anonymous letter was sent by Chen's opponent." A familiar voice came from the phone. It was Luo Yichen's assistant.

"Dui Dui Chen?" Wu Xinyan was a little surprised. She had always suspected it was someone within the company, but she had never expected it to be a competitor. "Why would he do this?"

"Chen's opponent's company recently broke its capital chain and is facing bankruptcy crisis. He knows that you are looking for new investment for the company, so he wants to force you to give up in this way." The assistant explained.

"I see." Wu Xinyan sneered. It seemed that this opponent Chen was desperate. "I know about this matter. You keep an eye on him and report to me anytime if there is any situation."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Xinyan's eyes flashed with a cold light. She hadn't intended to kill him, but since he was so despicable, don't blame her for being rude!

Wu Xinyan took a deep breath, called Investor Sun, and told him what Chen's opponent had done. Investor Sun was outraged and immediately pledged to invest more and to join other investors in boycotting Chen's opponent's company.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Xinyan finally showed a long-lost smile on her face. The sunlight poured into the room through the window, dispelling all the haze and illuminating her future path.

Everything is moving in a good direction. She believes that as long as she and Luo Yichen work together, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and usher in their own dawn.
