A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce-Chapter 718 - 717: Appearing Out of Nowhere, Impossible to Trace
Chapter 718: Chapter 717: Appearing Out of Nowhere, Impossible to Trace
After dialing Liang Luoyu’s number, the call was answered very quickly after two rings, and soon a familiar voice came through.
“Wen Xin, what made you think of calling me? That’s really miraculous,” came Liang Luoyu’s voice from the other end, sounding pleasantly surprised.
Listening to Liang Luoyu’s astonished tone, Wen Xin felt somewhat speechless. If it weren’t for needing him to investigate something, she would have hung up without hesitation.
“I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense, check into the Kunshan Group for me.”
Wen Xin spoke with a cold tone, effectively suppressing Liang Luoyu’s desire to continue speaking nonsense.
“Wen Xin, aren’t you abroad? How come you want to know about the Kunshan Group?” As Liang Luoyu heard Wen Xin mention the Kunshan Group, he involuntarily paused slightly, clueless as to why Wen Xin was targeting the Kunshan Group.
“The affairs of the Kunshan Group? Is the Kunshan Group based in Beijing? What happened?”
Listening to Liang Luoyu’s tone, Wen Xin seemed to hear the surprise in his voice and guessed correctly that Liang Luoyu had recently been dealing with matters concerning the Kunshan Group.
“It’s not from Beijing, but now it is also in Beijing. The Kunshan Group suddenly emerged in Beijing a week ago, and I rushed back here after hearing the news in F State.”
“But guess what? I’ve been back for two days, and I can’t find a bit of information about the Kunshan Group. Don’t you find that strange?”
At this point, Liang Luoyu felt somewhat frustrated. He believed his abilities were quite strong, but he was completely helpless with this matter.
If it weren’t for Master Xi instructing him not to alert anyone, he would have ordered the Di Ting Organization to come forward and investigate what exactly the Kunshan Group was all about.
Listening to Liang Luoyu’s words, Wen Xin had probably already guessed the origins of the Kunshan Group. She knew that besides people from that place, no one else would dare to use that name.
“We don’t need to investigate the origins of that company now to avoid trouble. Do me a favor and take good care of Xingyue. Tell her that she should put her studies first in her freshman year and postpone some unimportant competitions if possible!”
Although Wen Xin did not make her meaning thoroughly clear, Liang Luoyu was a smart man. He knew Wen Xin would not normally prevent Tan Xingyue from doing something she liked unless there was indeed a problem.
“Alright, I will relay the message to Tan Xingyue!”
“Oh, by the way, Wen Xin, have you heard? Jiang Linyan returned to the country ten days ago…” Liang Luoyu didn’t want to disturb Wen Xin with this message originally, but he couldn’t help wanting to discuss it with her.
“Apparently, Jiang Linyan managed some connections to bring her dad back too, and now everyone in Beijing is saying that Jiang Linyan is capable, possibly gearing up to take over the Jiang family.”
Liang Luoyu’s words made Wen Xin pause slightly; she hadn’t expected Jiang Linyan to be able to bring Jiang Desheng out after staying in P City for a while. It seemed she had underestimated the Jiang family’s capabilities and should have provided some hard-hitting information earlier.
“Does Mu Chengxi know about this?”
“Master Xi just heard about it too. It seems like those people are deliberately guarding against Master Xi. If Qian Meng hadn’t deliberately revealed this, I wouldn’t have known about it either!”
Speaking of Qian Meng, Liang Luoyu also felt puzzled. He didn’t understand why Qian Meng had suddenly brought this matter up to him; initially, Liang Luoyu thought Qian Meng was joking, but later realized this was Qian Meng’s way of giving him a tip-off.
“Since Mu Chengxi already knows about it, let him handle it. I’m not very good at controlling my strength, and it’s unnecessary to harm innocent people,”
Wen Xin was no longer in the mood to care about these issues. Now, she only wanted to understand the situation with Kunshan Group and was even more eager to know their purpose for going to Beijing, hoping it wasn’t what she had guessed. She wasn’t ready to make her move just yet.
After hanging up the phone with Liang Luoyu, Wen Xin looked at Sun Ning. She figured that since Sun Ning had been living in the Independent State for a long time, he might know something about Kunshan Group.
Wen Xin stood up and walked over to Sun Ning.
At that moment, Sun Ning was seriously staring at his computer screen, focusing on arranging the next step of his treatment plan, completely unaware of Wen Xin’s sudden presence.
Wen Xin raised her finger and gently tapped on Sun Ning’s desk twice. Sun Ning shifted his gaze from the monitor to Wen Xin, who was standing by his side, wearing a puzzled expression.
“What’s up?”
“I wanted to ask you, have you ever heard of Kunshan Group?”
“Kunshan? Kunshan Group?” Upon hearing Wen Xin’s words, Sun Ning’s face grew even more puzzled, “Who would be so reckless? To name their company after the forbidden ground of the Independent State? I have never heard of such a name while I was there.”
As Sun Ning spoke, he shook his head, clearly baffled by how such a name could be chosen. Everyone in the Independent State views Kunshan as a sacred and frightening place; nobody would dare use that name so recklessly.
“Never mind, continue with your work!”
From Sun Ning’s expression, Wen Xin became even more certain of the feelings people from Independent State had towards Kunshan. Normally, people would not use that name.
Yet, there were people who chose not to follow the usual paths, wanting to stir trouble outside of Independent State without revealing their identity, yet unable to suppress their inherent flamboyance by making some meaningless gestures.
Wen Xin, carrying her backpack, left the hospital’s office. As she reached the elevator, she saw Luo Qiete walking out of the ward. Upon seeing her, his brown eyes unconsciously brightened a bit.
“Are you heading back to the hotel? Let me take you there…”
Looking at Luo Qiete, Wen Xin suddenly remembered the question she wanted to ask him a week ago. This time, she did not refuse him and nodded, leaving the hospital together with Luo Qiete.
Wen Xin sat in Luo Qiete’s car. This time, unlike before when she immediately prepared to sleep as soon as she got in, she sat in the back seat, looking at Luo Qiete through the rearview mirror as he drove.
“I didn’t get a chance to ask last time, why did you quickly issue a statement rejecting the collaboration with Independent State? I hope you can be frank with me, and not provide some flowery, superficial answers,”
Wen Xin didn’t want to beat around the bush with Luo Qiete. Although she had now confirmed that Luo Qiete had not reached any collaboration with the Independent State, she was still unsure if Luo Qiete could collaborate with her and become friends.
It seemed Luo Qiete was not expecting such a direct question from Wen Xin. Through the rearview mirror, he looked at her and paused for a few seconds before giving a faint smile.
“If I told you directly, would you believe it?”
