"You're too green to think you can escape this way."
Irving waved his hand, and his men came in from outside, grabbed Xiang Wan, and dragged her out.
Xiang Wan did not resist, and said as she walked, "Mr. Owen, if you don't believe me, you can go to the hotel where Cui Shiwan is staying to verify. Her assistant has been looking for evidence against you for a moment. As long as you are caught by the police, she can take all your resources for herself. I don't want to die, this is my bargaining chip to save my life!"
"etc!"
Xiang Wan was brought back again, and she found a chair and sat down.
Kyrie Irving's greatest strength is his caution. His greatest weakness is that he's too cautious. But it's precisely because of this caution that he's managed to avoid being caught by the police all these years.
What Xiang Wan said was rambling and incoherent, but as long as Irving believed it, that was enough.
The Cui family has a secret deal with Irving.
Back then, all the companies that opposed the Cui family either suffered financial ruin or disappeared without a trace. The Cui family then openly helped many families under the guise of charity, and some even begged the Cui family to acquire their companies when they were on the verge of bankruptcy.
At the time, some people suspected that the Cui family was involved, but the Cui family did a very good job of putting on a show, moving the victims to the point of speechlessness, so no one pursued the matter further.
Because of its good reputation, many people chose to cooperate with the Cui family, which propelled it to become one of the top companies in the country.
The Cui family understood the principle that a tall tree catches the wind, so they spent a lot of money to get in touch with the Wei family and seek their support.
The Wei family's Wei Mian, the middle-aged man who took a liking to Xiang Wan at the party, holds an important position, and usually no one dares to touch him.
The Cui family's money flowed into Wei Mian's pocket like water, and Irving was no exception. Otherwise, why would this human trafficker leader dare to stay in H City?
The nation needs to purge its corrupt officials, and the Cui family needs to rid themselves of cancerous figures like Irving and Wei Zhan, while also seeking a new powerful backer. Naturally, they can't let Irving live. Because of him, the Cui family has considerable leverage over him.
How could Xiang Wan, a college student, possibly hear such news?
These days, the person she's been in contact with most is Cui Shiwan. Besides her, there's no one else she'd tell Xiang Wan these secrets.
Of course, Xiang Wan relied on the system.
What she says may not all be true, but if you investigate carefully, you will surely find clues.
Besides, isn't Zhang Jing an undercover agent sent by Interpol to Cui Shiwan's side? Her secret evidence gathering will be exposed sooner or later. If Owen really sends someone to investigate, they'll only be walking into a trap.
"Keep an eye on her, don't let her get away."
"yes."
Owen left immediately, leaving Xiang Wan inside yelling, "Help me untie this! I promise I won't run away!"
However, no one responded, and the door was immediately locked.
The phone had been confiscated, but Xiang Wan wasn't in a hurry. She slowly slung herself against the chair, untied the rope, and threw it on the ground.
This room was completely empty except for a lamp overhead and a chair. I have no idea what Irving would do with such a dilapidated room.
The window was welded shut with iron bars; it probably couldn't be pried open by hand.
Xiang Wan sat in the chair and quietly closed her eyes to cultivate.
This night was destined to be anything but peaceful.
Lou Junxuan returned home and immediately called He Yi, asking him to find someone to look for Xiang Wan. He himself sat on the balcony, pondering everything that had happened in the past few days.
After Cui Shiwan was sent back to the hotel, she secretly met with Wei Mian less than an hour later. By the time Owen sent someone over, she had already disappeared, and Zhang Jing had also vanished.
The next day, the bidding conference was suddenly held, and all those who came prepared attended on time.
The Lou family and the Cui family failed to reach an agreement, and all their working capital was insufficient to acquire the land in a short period of time. Meanwhile, the Cui family was facing fierce competition from the other three families.
Finally, Lou Junxuan took a desperate gamble and obtained the development and usage rights of the land by mortgaging some of his assets.
His original intention was to see if the other companies had any hidden strengths, but unexpectedly, after he made his bid, Cui Shiwan simply withdrew, and the others naturally gave up as well.
Lou Junxuan saw that Cui Shiwan showed no sign of defeat on her face, but instead sincerely congratulated him, and a feeling of falling into a conspiracy arose in his heart.
Meanwhile, Owen's men couldn't find Zhang Jing, and Cui Shiwan was protected, leaving them with no way to make a move. When the news arrived, Owen's brow furrowed deeply.
Usually, it was Cui Shiwan who took the initiative to contact him, but now when he sent people over, they couldn't get close to her, and the phone was always busy.
Irving wouldn't be easily fooled by Xiang Wan's one-sided account. So he sent two more groups of people, one to investigate Cui Shiwan's movements and the other to observe the defending champion.
Xiang Wan stayed in the locked house for another day.
On the third day, Owen suddenly came in, had someone bring her a table, and brought her some food and water.
On days when no one bothered her, Xiang Wan had been cultivating the Frostbite Technique and wasn't hungry. Now that she had been interrupted, she naturally needed to replenish her energy.
Irving's expression remained unchanged, but judging from his attitude towards her, he was probably 70-80% convinced.
Just believe it.
Xiang Wan silently ate everything and let out a satisfied burp.
“You keep saying that you two brothers don’t get along, but these past two days, quite a few people have been looking for you. Apart from Lou Junxuan, who else would care whether you live or die?”
Irving spoke the truth so frankly that Xiang Wan almost couldn't bear to lie to him.
