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

Wu Xinyan hung up the phone, her fingertips sliding unconsciously across the phone screen, her brows furrowed in a frown.

Several overseas investigation agencies she tried to contact rejected her commission on the grounds of "force majeure" as if they had agreed upon it.

Those channels that once vowed to provide help have now become silent, as if an invisible hand was strangling their throats from behind.

"How strange..." Detective Wu pushed his glasses up on his nose, looking at the rejection messages popping up one after another on the computer screen, his expression becoming serious. "Did they make an appointment? How could the problems arise at the same time?"

Wu Xinyan had an ominous premonition in her heart. This was definitely not a coincidence, but more like a carefully planned obstruction.

She took a deep breath and told herself not to lose her composure.

She had to calm down and reassess the situation.

At this moment, her cell phone vibrated again. The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number. She hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the phone.

"Hello?" Her voice was alert.

"Ms. Wu, please be careful when you go out recently." A low, hoarse voice came from the phone, with a hint of threat in the tone, "Some people don't like you to be too active."

Before Wu Xinyan could react, the other party hung up the phone.

She was startled, and before she could sort out her thoughts, her phone rang with several message alerts.

When she clicked on it, she found videos and photos of her being followed and harassed while she was out.

Those hooligans, each with a ferocious face, were hanging around her residence and company, and some even tried to get close to her.

Her life suddenly seemed to have turned into an endless nightmare, and every step she took was like walking on thin ice.

"These guys are just scoundrels!" Detective Wu cursed angrily. He really couldn't stand seeing Wu Xinyan being harassed like this. He clenched his fists, wishing he could pull these thugs out and give them a good beating.

Wu Xinyan's face became even uglier. She closed her eyes, trying to calm her inner anger and anxiety. When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were full of determination.

She picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number. The call was quickly connected, and a low and magnetic voice came from it, "What's wrong?"

Wu Xinyan didn't say anything, but just gently placed her phone on the table. Her hand gently stroked the ring on her ring finger, and she looked out the window. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and it seemed that a rainstorm was about to fall.

She knew that the real storm had just begun.

"Yi Chen, I want to solve this problem myself." Wu Xinyan's voice was surprisingly calm, but with an unquestionable firmness.

Luo Yichen looked at her, a trace of worry flashed in his deep eyes, but he finally nodded.

Wu Xinyan curled her lips into a sneer. She was not a lamb to be slaughtered.

She deliberately spread the word that she would appear at a certain place at a certain time, and then arranged for Detective Wu to observe secretly.

Sure enough, those gangsters appeared at the designated location on time like sharks smelling blood.

They approached stealthily, not knowing that they had stepped into a trap carefully set by Wu Xinyan.

Wu Xinyan pretended to panic and lured them closer. Just when they thought they had succeeded, the security guards who were lying in ambush nearby rushed over and subdued them.

"Tell me! Who sent you here!" Wu Xinyan stood in front of them, her eyes sharp, like a goddess of judgment.

Faced with the hard evidence, the psychological defenses of these gangsters quickly collapsed and they confessed that Assistant Liu had hired them.

When the news reached Wang's marriage partner, he was so angry that his face turned blue and he crushed the wine glass in his hand.

"Waste! All of you are a bunch of waste!" he roared.

He picked up the phone and dialed a number, "Lao Zhang, you have seen the recent situation of the Luo Group. They are now in trouble. You'd better consider whether to continue cooperating with them..." He tried every means to disintegrate the Luo Group's business alliance and put pressure on Luo Yichen.

Roche Group's stock price began to fall, its partners began to waver, and an invisible pressure loomed over Roche Group.

Wu Xinyan watched all this with anxiety in her heart, but she did not give up.

Detective Wu looked at the codes constantly jumping on the computer screen, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Interesting, it seems they really put a lot of thought into it..." His fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, lines of code poured down like a waterfall, and a mysterious light flashed on the screen.

He raised his head and looked at Wu Xinyan, with a glimmer of confidence in his eyes, "Xinyan, I think I found a breakthrough..."

Detective Wu's fingertips danced across the keyboard like a conductor playing a complex piece of music.

On the screen, lines of code cascaded down like a waterfall, flashing a faint green light.

He narrowed his eyes, staring sharply at the characters that kept jumping on the screen, and a confident arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Found it!" he exclaimed, breaking the solemn atmosphere in the room.

Wu Xinyan's head snapped up. Detective Wu pointed at a complex chart on the screen and explained, "Wang's partner used shell companies to launder money, and the funds ultimately flowed into several overseas accounts. Despite layers of disguise, his tactics were eventually exposed." He highlighted several key account details. "Although these accounts appear unrelated, subtle flows of funds exist between them, like an invisible web, firmly entangling Wang's partner's crimes."

Wu Xinyan's heart was beating so violently that it seemed like it was about to jump out of her chest.

This is really a new hope!

She couldn't wait to record this information and prepare for the next step.

At the same time, Zhou shareholders also took action.

He knew very well that if Wang's marriage partner succeeded, the Luo Group would also suffer a heavy blow.

He began to use the personal connections he had accumulated over the years to clarify the facts for Wu Xinyan in the business circle and refute the malicious rumors.

For a time, positive reports about Wu Xinyan began to appear in major media, and her public image gradually recovered.

However, Wang's marriage partner is no pushover either.

He seemed to have noticed the direction of Wu Xinyan's investigation and began to speed up the transfer of funds.

Huge sums of money flowed out of his account like water and disappeared into the vast financial ocean.

Detective Wu looked at the constantly changing data on the screen and his expression became serious.

"Oh no, he started transferring funds! The speed is much faster than we expected!" He stared at the screen, his fingers tapping the keyboard rapidly, trying to track the flow of funds, but found that the funds were like cunning loaches, constantly changing their paths, making it difficult for him to grasp.

Wu Xinyan's brows also furrowed tightly, she realized that a new crisis was approaching.

"We must speed up, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain!" She picked up the phone and dialed a number, "Hello, Secretary Li? I need you to do me a favor..." On the other end of the phone, Secretary Li's voice trembled with hesitation, "Ms. Wu, I... I..."

"I know you're scared," Wu Xinyan said firmly, "but this is our last chance..." She paused, a hint of pleading in her voice, "Please believe me, I will definitely keep you safe..."

Secretary Li was silent for a moment, and finally made up his mind, "Okay, I promise you..."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Xinyan took a deep breath, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

"Detective, we must find conclusive evidence before the king's marriage partner transfers all the funds!"

Detective Wu nodded, his gaze fixed firmly on the computer screen.

Suddenly, his face changed and he stood up abruptly, "Oh no! He activated the self-destruct program!" The data on the screen began to jump wildly, like a bomb about to explode.

"It's too late..." Detective Wu sat dejectedly on the chair.

Wu Xinyan's heart sank. Was everything really going to fail?

Just then, her cell phone suddenly rang and an unfamiliar number appeared on the screen.

She hesitated for a moment, but still answered the phone.

"Hey?"

"Ms. Wu," a low and hoarse voice came from the phone, "I know what you are investigating..."

Wu Xinyan's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came over her...
