It Started With a Kiss: Leng Shao's Beloved Wife
Chapter 91: Bravely Overcoming the Challenges: Love and Freedom
Amidst the chaos, Wu Xinyan's mind was unusually clear.
She knew that tonight's attack was no accident, and the Zhou family had done everything they could to facilitate the marriage.
Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to take the initiative.
She held her bloody hand tightly, her eyes determined.
Luo Yichen anxiously held the unconscious elder and yelled for someone to call an ambulance.
He caught a glimpse of Wu Xinyan's pale but resolute face, and an indescribable guilt welled up in his heart.
Aunt Luo took advantage of the chaos and walked over to Luo Yichen. She lowered her voice and said with a hint of pride, "Yichen, look, this woman is a disaster! Ever since she entered the Luo family, she has never been quiet! Now even the elders are suffering. How long are you going to protect her?"
Luo Yichen raised his head suddenly, his eyes cold: "Aunt, the matter has not been thoroughly investigated, don't jump to conclusions."
"The facts are right in front of us! Are you still going to protect her?" Aunt Luo's sharp voice echoed in the hall. Other tribesmen also began to whisper, and their eyes towards Wu Xinyan were full of suspicion and hostility.
Wu Xinyan took a deep breath and turned to leave the chaotic hall. She knew that explaining was useless at this moment, and only by finding evidence could she prove her innocence.
In the next few days, Wu Xinyan stayed up almost all night, secretly investigating Zhou's marriage partner.
She looked through a large number of business documents and finally found some clues pointing to the Zhou family's illegal investment overseas.
She organized the evidence and prepared to make it public at the right time.
At the same time, Aunt Luo intensified her slander against Wu Xinyan and even spread rumors that she was deliberately creating chaos with the intention of seizing the Luo family's property.
Wu Xinyan's situation in the family became increasingly difficult, and she was almost left alone.
Late at night, there was only a dim desk lamp in Wu Xinyan's room, illuminating her tired face.
She looked at the documents in her hand, her eyes flashing with complexity.
Suddenly, a slight knock on the door broke the silence.
Wu Xinyan asked warily, "Who?"
"It's me." A deep voice sounded outside the door.
Wu Xinyan opened the door and saw Luo Yichen standing outside with a folder in his hand. His eyes were filled with complicated emotions, and he hesitated to speak.
"This is..." Wu Xinyan looked at him puzzledly.
Luo Yichen handed her the folder: "Take a look, it might be useful to you."
Wu Xinyan took the folder, opened it, and was shocked by the contents inside... "This..."
The folder contained evidence collected by Luo Yichen about the commercial crimes of Zhou's marriage partner. Although it was incomplete, it was enough to prove that the Zhou family was not as innocent as it seemed.
Luo Yichen's gaze fell on Wu Xinyan's pale face, and a feeling of guilt surged in his heart.
"I'm sorry," he whispered, "I failed to protect you before."
Wu Xinyan stared at the document in her hand, feeling mixed emotions.
She understood Luo Yichen's difficulties. The pressure from his family prevented him from openly supporting her, but his silent help made her feel a little warm.
"Thank you," Wu Xinyan's voice was a little hoarse, "I will use this evidence to prove my innocence."
Luo Yichen nodded, turned around and was about to leave, but stopped.
"Xinyan," he hesitated, "I know it's difficult for you right now, but... please believe me, I will do my best to help you."
As Wu Xinyan watched him leave, a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart. She knew that she was no longer fighting alone.
However, the media person Huang did not let her go.
More exaggerated reports flooded in, portraying her as a sinister and cunning woman who would do anything to marry into a wealthy family.
Wu Xinyan's circle of friends began to disintegrate, and people who were once close to her kept away from her. She seemed to be abandoned by the whole world.
The isolated and helpless situation did not defeat Wu Xinyan, but instead aroused the fire of resistance in her heart.
She devoted herself to the investigation even more resolutely, not missing any details.
The evidence provided by Luo Yichen gave her a direction. She followed this clue and dug deeper, and finally found evidence of financial fraud by Zhou's marriage partner in a large project. The amount was huge, enough to ruin the Zhou family's reputation.
Wu Xinyan took these evidences and went straight to find Zhou's marriage partner.
She placed the document in front of him, her tone calm but with undeniable strength: "I think you should know what this is."
When Zhou's marriage partner saw the documents, his face turned pale instantly, but he quickly regained his composure and a sneer appeared on his lips: "Do you think you can bring me down with just these?"
Wu Xinyan looked at him with cold eyes: "If it is true, you will know after trying it..." She pushed a file bag in front of him, "Here is more..."
Zhou's marriage partner looked at the file bag that Wu Xinyan pushed over, and his face turned from pale to ashen.
He grabbed the briefcase and tore it open roughly. The photos and documents inside scattered out, each one like a sharp blade, piercing his nerves.
He forced himself to remain calm and sneered, "You think you can bring me down with just these? These things are easy to forge."
Wu Xinyan met his gaze fearlessly: "You know whether it is forged or not. These evidences are enough to bring disgrace to the Zhou family. Are you sure you want to take a gamble?" She paused, and her tone became colder, "I didn't want to go this far, but you forced me to. If you stop pestering me now and give up the marriage with the Luo family, I can pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise..." She didn't continue, but the threat was self-evident.
Zhou's marriage partner's face was gloomy and uncertain. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
He didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman would be so difficult to deal with and the evidence in her hands would be so deadly.
He weighed the pros and cons and finally chose to compromise.
"Okay," he said through gritted teeth, "I promise you, I'll stop for now."
Wu Xinyan did not let her guard down because she knew it was just the calm before the storm.
The eyes of Zhou's marriage partner were full of resentment, which made her understand that he had not given up the idea of marriage, but was just waiting for the opportunity.
She needed to find a way to completely solve this problem, and at the same time she also hoped that Luo Yichen could truly stand on her side and give her enough support.
Walking out of Zhou's marriage partner's office, Wu Xinyan took a deep breath and looked up at the gloomy sky.
She took out her cell phone and dialed a number... "Hello, Senior Zhang, long time no see, I want to talk to you..."
