Xie Nancheng, the heir of a top-tier wealthy family, suddenly developed a hidden illness. His pre-arranged marriage partner was swapped, replaced by a young adopted daughter from the countryside to...
Chapter 695: It seems to be a well-dug pit
"We've already written the copy, hired our influencers and media accounts, and are releasing it online. It's about the chairman's extramarital affair, forcing his wife to attempt suicide, and now the mistress is blaming you for her misfortune. The specifics of this copy are as follows: We want to change your persona to that of a victim. Because current social opinion dictates that the weak are right, and those who suffer the most are popular. So, we're putting you in a difficult position, Mr. Xie. We need your cooperation and a poignant performance. As long as we can earn sympathy and enough tears, we'll win."
"But these are all facts. They all exist. Whether the chairman is having an affair, forcing his wife to a life-or-death situation, or later planning to team up with his mistress to force your position, we will hire professionals to write a good story and publish it online."
The leader of the public relations department thought his idea was brilliant and that the president would praise him.
Unexpectedly...
"If you can't come up with a second plan, you don't need to come tomorrow," said Xie Nancheng.
The female leader was slightly startled, "Mr. Xie..."
"If I, Xie Nancheng, need to play the victim, why would I ask you to come?"
"Useless stuff."
It was a useless sentence, but Tu Ran thought it sounded familiar and almost laughed out loud.
"Also, don't make a fuss about my mother, and don't mention my mother." Xie Nancheng's face was fierce, scaring everyone.
"Yes, Mr. Xie, I will never mention Madam again."
Xie Nancheng glanced at the head of the finance department again, "What's your plan?"
"We checked the chairman's personal accounts and discovered that during the period of his infidelity, he transferred a significant amount of money to his mistress. He also invested in opening a shop and even bought an expensive watch for his mistress's daughter. There was also a transfer of one million. We intend to sue in your and your wife's name to recover this money, as it is joint marital property."
"That's fine, do it right away."
"Okay, Mr. Xie, after daybreak, when everyone is back at work, we'll go and implement it."
"Let's disperse." After quickly finishing the meeting, Xie Nancheng stood up.
He turned around and looked at the head of the PR department, "You are not allowed to leave work. Come up with a second plan for me right here. If you can't handle it, you don't need to come tomorrow. Get out."
"Yes, Mr. Xie." The female leader was about to cry, and was in a state of panic for a moment.
"You, come with me."
Pointing at Tu Ran, Xie Nancheng then turned and left the meeting room.
Tu Ran also stood up and followed him out.
Xu Xin didn't dare to interrupt from beginning to end for fear of being scolded.
After the boss left, someone curious asked, "Assistant Xu, is this Mr. Xie's new secretary? She's good-looking, pretty, and you can tell she didn't have plastic surgery."
"Yeah, it seems like Mr. Xie likes her quite a bit. Is she a distant relative?"
"What the hell are you looking at? She's the young lady." Xu Xin glared at her fiercely and replied unhappily.
Everyone: ...
Okay, everyone, silence.
Who could tell that a woman dressed like a student is the young lady?
There is not a single brand name on her body, and all her bags are canvas bags. Isn’t she too low-key?
Xie Nancheng took his wife to eat Cantonese food near the company.
At this time, the suspect had also been caught.
Xu Xin specifically called his boss to report the matter.
Xu Xin: Mr. Xie, the suspect has been apprehended and is being interrogated by the police.
Xie Nancheng: Got it.
Xu Xin: I’m really afraid that guy will talk nonsense. It’s obviously not us who did it.
Xie Nancheng: Don't worry, he will definitely frame me, that's for sure, there is no second possibility.
To be honest, when Xie Nancheng learned that Qiao Kelan had been in a car accident, he concluded that it was a setup.
It was a trap set up specifically for him, so it wasn't surprising at all.
Including Han Mengying's nonsense, none of this is surprising.
The reason why he was angry was that every time those idiots slandered him, they would bring his wife along.
Tu Ran on the opposite side looked at him.
"That guy was caught, wasn't he?"
"Um."
"Did you order the accusation?"
"No news has come out yet, but they will definitely identify me."
"I am also the most motivated person, no problem." Xie Nancheng said calmly.
Tu Ran sighed, "Come on, Mr. Xie, you're about to be framed, aren't you nervous?
"Tsk, do you think I was brought up by being scared?"
"He has to be really capable to frame me."
"But you know what, I'm actually quite happy this time. Regardless of whether they framed her or not, that woman was actually hit by a car. It's a relief."
Tu Ran: ...
"What's your train of thought?"
"Is this a setup for you?"
"If she's killed, it's worth it for me to go to jail for a year." The boss started talking nonsense again.
Tu Ran's face immediately turned cold and he threw down his chopsticks.
"Xie Nancheng, be serious."
"Don't you know what it means to have your words come true?"
"Let alone Qiao Kelan, even if it's a bigger enemy, it's not worth you going to jail to fight it."
"You are so young, time is extremely precious, do you know that?"
Of course Xie Nancheng was just joking. What jail? Jail?
But Tu Ran took it seriously and became very angry.
"Wife, don't be angry, I was just joking."
Tu Ran was angry and said nothing.
"Wife, I was wrong."
"Don't be angry."
Tu Ran remained silent...
"Wife, please forgive me. If you don't forgive me, I will cry in front of you."
"Then you cry."
"Let me see." Tu Ran still had a cold face.
"Forget it, I'll kowtow to you anyway." After saying that, the big guy stood up and pretended to kneel.
Tu Ran's face turned pale with fear and he quickly pulled him up.
"Xie Nancheng, are you ashamed?"
"Wife, don't be angry. I'm most afraid of you ignoring me."
"Brother, you're in a state of emergency. You don't even know if your company's stock will crash tomorrow...and you still have the time to joke with me?"
"Because stocks are imaginary, but my wife is real."
Tu Ran: ...
Just as Tu Ran was about to scold this stupid man, Xie Nancheng's phone rang.
After seeing the caller ID clearly, his expression changed slightly.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he picked up the phone.
Xie Nancheng: Uncle Liu, good evening.
Xie Nancheng: Okay, I’ll be there right away.
Xie Nancheng: Okay, see you later.
After hanging up the phone, he glanced at Tu Ran opposite him.
"Uncle Liu, the leader of the Municipal Bureau asked me to come over."
Tu Ran suddenly became nervous, "That person must have pointed you out. You need to think of a way to deal with it."
"I'm fine. I don't have time to take you back. You can take a taxi back by yourself."
"I'm fine, just be careful."
"You should be careful. I'm a little worried about you being alone."
"I'll let Xu Xin come." After saying that, Xie Nancheng was about to make a phone call.
"Really, there's no need. Assistant Xu will waste time on the way here. I can take a taxi back quickly." Tu Ran stopped him.
The couple then parted ways in the restaurant.
Tu Ran had not expected that something would actually happen during this short journey of just over ten minutes.
The online taxi driver was quite old and didn’t understand the navigation.
After leading us here and there, we entered a small path that was rarely used.
It was on this small road that the car broke down.
Everything happened by chance...
"The car broke down. I'll go down and take a look." The driver said it very naturally.
But Tu Ran still felt something was wrong, so she got out of the car as well.
At this time, I noticed that a man walked out from the surrounding grass.
He was tall, wearing a black raincoat and a black mask.
He was holding an axe in his hand and walked straight towards Tu Ran.
The driver ran away...but Tu Ran didn't move.
"It seems that you are waiting for me here." Tu Ran said lightly.
