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

Chapter 146: The Source of the Crisis: Breaking the Deadlock

Wu Xinyan closed the door, returned to her desk, and rubbed her aching temples.

This man named Mu made her feel indescribably uneasy.

Luo Yichen walked over to her and gently put his arm around her shoulders: "Don't worry, I will find out his background."

Wu Xinyan nodded, forced herself to cheer up, and began to investigate the mysterious supporters behind "Xingyao".

She retrieved all the information she could find, from the registration information of "Xingyao" to every transaction record, analyzing every detail.

However, the other party hid very deeply, and every clue seemed like a trap deliberately placed there, so the investigation progressed extremely slowly.

At the same time, some rumors began to circulate within the company.

Some people say that Wu Xinyan has offended someone she shouldn’t have offended, and now the company is definitely finished; others say that the background of “Xingyao” is unfathomable, and Wu Xinyan is no match at all.

These rumors spread quickly like a virus, causing panic within the company.

Wu Xinyan felt that the pressure was like a mountain, making it hard for her to breathe.

Luo Yichen tried his best to stabilize the company's situation and secretly sent people to investigate the identity of the man surnamed Mu.

Days passed with no progress in the investigation, and the company's situation only got worse.

Several important partners suddenly proposed to terminate the contract, and the company's capital chain also had problems.

Wu Xinyan was extremely worried but couldn't find any solution.

At this moment, Zhao's best friend suddenly called: "Xinyan, how are you doing recently? I heard that the company encountered some troubles..." There was a subtle hint of gloating in her tone, which made Wu Xinyan's heart alarm bells ring.

"It's okay, just some minor issues." Wu Xinyan replied calmly.

"That's good," Zhao's best friend paused and continued, "By the way, I heard...Friend Li has also encountered some troubles recently. Do you want to contact her and see if she can help?"

Wu Xinyan's fingers gripping the phone tightened slightly, and a chill spread from the bottom of her heart.

"I will." She said in a cold tone and hung up the phone.

She immediately asked someone to check on Li's friend, but the result surprised her...

Friend Li actually met with the person in charge of "Xingyao".

Wu Xinyan stood up suddenly, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the bustling city outside the window, but her heart was cold.

She suddenly realized that she had been neglecting an important person...

She picked up her phone and dialed a number: "Help me check... Zhao's best friend's recent movements." A deep voice came from the other end of the line: "Understood."

As night fell, Wu Xinyan sat in the office, looking at the flashing neon lights outside the window with a complicated look in her eyes.

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open and Luo Yichen walked in with a document in his hand and a serious expression on his face.

"Xinyan," he walked over to her and placed the documents on the table, "I found something..."

Wu Xinyan picked up the document and opened the first page. The content on it made her pupils shrink suddenly...

"How could it be her..." She murmured to herself, her tone full of disbelief.

Luo Yichen reached out and held her hand, his eyes firm: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

At this moment, Wu Xinyan's cell phone suddenly rang, and the caller ID showed...Reporter Qian.

Wu Xinyan took a deep breath and answered the phone: "Hello?"

"Mr. Wu," reporter Qian said in a hurried voice, "I just got the news..." Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a noisy sound, and then a busy tone came from the phone.

Wu Xinyan's expression suddenly changed. She stood up abruptly and looked at Luo Yichen: "Not good..."

After Zhao's best friend hung up the phone, a cold arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She called several small customers who had terminated their contracts with Wu Xinyan's company because of the low-price competition from "Xingyao". Her tone was full of concern and worry: "Mr. Wang, I heard recently that there were some problems in your cooperation with "Xinyan"? Alas, this girl is too young and ignorant. She offended people she shouldn't have offended. Now the company is probably..." She paused deliberately to let the other party imagine it for themselves, "Alas, I'm worried about you too. The market competition is so fierce now. You have to be careful and don't get dragged down by her..." She used the same routine to contact several other customers, fanning the flames, trying to get them to unite and boycott Wu Xinyan's company to create more trouble for her.

At the same time, Luo Yichen was not idle either.

He mobilized all his business channels to inquire about the information about the mysterious supporters of "Xingyao".

Although the information he received was still vague, he keenly realized that this mysterious supporter seemed to be inextricably linked to a family incident of the Luo family many years ago.

The incident was suppressed by his father and almost no one knew about it, but now it seems to have resurfaced, making him feel uneasy.

He told Wu Xinyan the results of the investigation and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the things involved behind this are more complicated than we thought."

Wu Xinyan took the information found by Luo Yichen and looked through it carefully, her eyes becoming colder and colder.

Although the events recorded in the document were vague, she sensed a hint of conspiracy.

She suddenly remembered some abnormal behaviors of her father before his death many years ago, and some words that her mother repeatedly told her. These fragments flashed through her mind quickly, piecing together into a blurry picture that shocked her heart.

“Could it be…” She suddenly raised her head and looked at Luo Yichen, “Could it be…” Luo Yichen held her hand, his eyes firm: “Let’s find out together.”

At this moment, the door of Wu Xinyan's office was suddenly pushed open, and the secretary ran in in a panic, her face pale: "Mr. Wu, something bad has happened, Miss Zhao...Miss Zhao..." Her voice was trembling, and she couldn't say a complete sentence.

Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen looked at each other, and an ominous premonition arose in their hearts.

Luo Yichen asked in a deep voice, "What happened to Miss Zhao?" The secretary took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "Miss Zhao...she...she's in trouble!"

The secretary's face was as pale as paper, and she explained incoherently: "Ms. Zhao...Ms. Zhao...she...she fell from the building!" Wu Xinyan's heart was shocked, and a chill instantly spread throughout her body.

Luo Yichen supported her as she was about to collapse and asked in a deep voice, "Which hospital?"

After getting the address, the two immediately drove to the hospital.

The lights in the emergency room were glaring, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant, adding to the tense and depressing atmosphere.

Zhao's best friend was lying on the hospital bed, her face pale and her breath weak.

The doctor shook his head solemnly at them: "The patient's injuries are serious. We have done our best."

Wu Xinyan felt her head buzzing. She could never have imagined that her best friend Zhao, who was still alive and kicking just a moment ago, was now lying on the hospital bed dying.

Luo Yichen held her hand tightly, giving her silent comfort.

However, at this moment, Wu Xinyan's cell phone rang.

It's an unknown number.

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

"Wu Xinyan," a cold voice came from the other end of the phone, "Do you think you can get rid of me like this? You are wrong, the game has just begun." Wu Xinyan's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.

She forced herself to calm down and asked coldly, "Who are you?" But the other party just sneered and hung up the phone.

Wu Xinyan's fingers holding the phone trembled slightly. She realized that Zhao's best friend's fall from the building was not an accident, but a carefully planned conspiracy.

And behind this, there seems to be a bigger secret hidden.

After returning to the company, Wu Xinyan forced herself to cheer up and began to investigate the truth behind Zhao's best friend's fall.

She retrieved the hospital's surveillance video and discovered that Zhao's best friend had contact with a mysterious man before falling from the building.

The man's figure was surprisingly similar to the man named Mu whom he had met at the hospital entrance before.

Wu Xinyan immediately told Luo Yichen about this discovery.

Luo Yichen frowned and said in a deep voice, "It seems that our opponent is more cunning than we thought."

At the same time, Wu Xinyan also began to deal with the crisis within the company.

She held a town hall meeting, openly acknowledged the company's current predicament, and presented her response plan to employees in a candid manner.

Her passionate and confident speech inspired all the employees present and rekindled their fighting spirit.

In the next few days, Wu Xinyan worked hard to contact customers and stabilize the company's situation.

Her efforts were not in vain. After seeing Wu Xinyan's sincerity and determination, several small clients who had previously proposed to terminate the contract decided to continue cooperating with the company.

Just when Wu Xinyan thought things were starting to get better, a piece of news came like a bolt from the blue.

Before falling from the building, Zhao's best friend left a letter in which she claimed that she had a lot of negative information about Wu Xinyan's company and handed it to a certain media outlet.

Wu Xinyan's face turned pale instantly. She stood up suddenly and looked at Luo Yichen, her voice trembling: "She...she said...she has dirt on me..." Luo Yichen's face darkened, and he grasped her hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid, I will take care of it." At this moment, Wu Xinyan's phone rang again, and the caller ID showed...

reporter.

Wu Xinyan took a deep breath, looked at Luo Yichen, and said word by word: "Here it comes."
