Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heires

Chapter 1177: The Power to Control the Wen Corporation

The matter about the Korean-Chinese Alliance was an important matter which concerned the wellbeing of the Wen Corporation. At the same time, it was also a major crisis for the Wen Corporation. Hence, Wen Xinya could not hide it from Old Mr. Wen, nor was she planning to.

Wen Xinya returned to the Wen Family home and headed straight to the study on the second floor. She then knocked on the door and said with a sullen expression, “Grandpa, I have something important to tell you.”

“What’s the matter? Why are you so nervous?” asked Old Mr. Wen, who had never seen Wen Xinya so stern and glum before. Although she did not look like the sky had fallen down onto her, it was not any better. His face began to grow sullen.

Wen Xinya took a seat beside Old Mr. Wen and cut straight to the chase. “Grandpa, do you still remember what I told you about there being a mastermind behind Ning Shuqian?”

The news about the Korean-Chinese Alliance was way too shocking and she could not guarantee that Old Mr. Wen would believe her words. Hence, she felt a little uneasy.

Being extremely intelligent, Old Mr. Wen immediately thought of a possibility and asked with a heavy heart, “Have you already found out the identity of the person instigating Ning Shuqian?”

He had never dared to belittle Wen Xinya because of Old Mr. Mo. Hence, he vaguely understood that his granddaughter possessed more connections and resources than him.

Wen Xinya nodded solemnly and said, “After the shareholders’ meeting ended, the entertainment city project got postponed. Later on, Father suggested that we look for an investor and even got the Zhang Corporation involved. I found the appearance of the Zhang Corporation to be way too coincidental. Hence, I looked for a friend and got her to check up on the Zhang Corporation...”

She then told him everything about the Korean-Chinese Alliance but excluded the part about her mother’s death. Although... the Korean-Chinese Alliance had something to do with her death, Wen Haowen was directly involved too, and so was the Wen Family. Hence, she did not want to give the Wen Family the opportunity to shirk the responsibility.

Upon hearing her words, Old Mr. Wen’s face began to turn gloomy. He did not know much about the Korean-Chinese Alliance, though he had heard about it before. He had heard that they were the highest-level criminal organization in the world!

He was shocked beyond words, especially after hearing about the nature of the Korean-Chinese alliance. In fact, he felt like he was about to suffocate.

This organization turned out to be so terrifying!

What shocked him even more, was the fact that Wen Xinya managed to find out so much about the Korean-Chinese Alliance within a short period of time, despite it being extremely secretive.

Should I believe her?

After all, it’s too absurd and stunning.

Wen Xinya slowly told him about the truth. “Grandpa, the Korean-Chinese Alliance is trying to use the Wen Corporation to carry out illegal activities. The entertainment city project is the best trump card that they have, which will allow them to control the Wen Corporation. Wen Haowen has become the pawn that they will use to control the Wen Family.”

Staring at Old Mr. Wen who was deep in thought, she noticed that his gray and glassy eyes seemed to have lost their focus. Shock was written all over his face, but he still remained rather calm and composed. He did not let any of his emotions show at all.

Compared to the anger that she felt when she heard about the Korean-Chinese Alliance, Old Mr. was much calmer about it.

Old Mr. Wen’s eyes suddenly turned dull and he looked at Wen Xinya abruptly before asking gloomily, “Are your news reliable?”

He actually wanted to ask her how she had gotten that information. However, she obviously didn’t plan to tell him and hence, he decided not to probe either. After all, he cared about his granddaughter a lot and did not want to cause a strain on their relationship because of the matter. However, he understood that perhaps... she was the key person who could help the Wen Family overcome this major ordeal.

Wen Xinya nodded dejectedly and said, “Yes, it’s been verified.” After a moment of hesitation, she said slowly, “The person who tipped me off is the boss of Jiayuan Club, who is also Grampy’s student.”

Since Old Mr. Wen decided to trust her, she was not willing to let him down either. Having interacted with him for more than three years, she had developed feelings for him even though their relationship was not that close. Anyway, there was no harm letting him know that Si Yiyan was the boss of the Jiayuan Club.

Old Mr. Wen squinted abruptly.

Perhaps, most people simply thought of Jiayuan Club as a mysterious but powerful club. However, Old Mr. Wen knew better than anyone else that the boss of Jiayuan Club was known as the King of Triads in Capital city, who was in control of all the secret societies and operations. There was no doubt that he was powerful.

Wen Xinya’s decision to reveal that to him made him trust her even more.

After a moment of silence, Old Mr. Wen asked, “What do you think about this?”

There was no way for the Wen Corporation to go against the Korean-Chinese Alliance and he did not have a better solution now either. He was taking a gamble on... Wen Xinya’s relationship with the boss of the Jiayuan Club.

Having understood Old Mr. Wen’s intentions, Wen Xinya said softly, “It’s already too late now to stop the entertainment city project from proceeding. If we were to employ harsher tactics, chaos will break out within the Wen Corporation and that will result in a major loss. We’ll also end up giving those people the chance to take advantage.”

If they were to alarm the alliance and expose their identity, the alliance would definitely do everything they could to attack the Wen Family and get rid of the Wen Corporation. The Wen Family would then be ruined.

Old Mr. Wen immediately knew what she meant. “You mean, we shouldn’t alarm them?”

Although he was rather disappointed, he knew that it was the best solution at hand, based on his rich experience in being a businessman.

Wen Xinya nodded and said, “That’s exactly what I meant. The entertainment city project will require at least two to three years to be completed and the Korean-Chinese Alliance can only begin using the Wen Corporation to carry out illegal activities after the entertainment city project has been completed. With the Zhang Corporation around, it’d be impossible for us to control and manage the entertainment city project. However, we can control the effect that it has on the Wen Corporation and minimize the damages so as to keep our foundation.”

It was the best solution they could employ now. Rather than alarm the mastermind and ruin the Wen Corporation, they might as well do their best to keep the foundation strong. They would be able to make a comeback in the future.

Most importantly, she had already discussed the matter with Si Yiyan and they agreed that they would definitely find a chance to expose their identity once they found some clues.

However, she did not plan to tell Old Mr. Wen of her plan.

Even if Old Mr. Wen agreed, he would still feel upset about her using his lifelong career for a gamble. He might even start to suspect her.

Old Mr. Wen nodded and remained silent for a long time, trying to digest the shocking piece of news that he had just heard.
