Who knew that the soundproofing in the hotel bathroom was so bad, plus the two of them were having a really high, practically resonating with each other.
Xia Yixin blushed awkwardly. "Never mind, I'm too lazy to talk to you."
She turned the doorknob and was about to leave when Lu Yan forcefully slammed it shut again.
He braced himself against the door with one arm and gave her a solid "door slam".
She turned stiffly, and the man's handsome face was inches away, his eyes slightly narrowed, like a wolf staring at its prey.
She looked at him warily. Could this guy be petty and unable to tolerate being insulted?
The man smiled, deliberately blew a breath close to her ear before slowly saying, "He wouldn't let me get my hands dirty."
The person lying on the ground was actually unconscious, not dead.
Later, she didn't know where he had gotten several people dressed as waiters who carried the unconscious person away, which showed that he had arranged it in advance.
Xia Yixin felt utterly heartbroken.
She simply left him behind and went out first. At the door, she happened to run into the same couple who had also been having a one-night stand.
The woman was initially surprised to see her come out of the men's restroom, but when she saw Lu Yan coming out right behind her, she gave him an incredibly ambiguous smile.
That evening, a gossip magazine ran a headline about Xia Yixin, the president of Xia Corporation, bringing a young man to a banquet in a high-profile manner, with rumors circulating that they had a passionate encounter in the restroom!
The accompanying picture was of Lu Yan walking away with her, looking incredibly intimate, as if she was the only one in his eyes.
Just then, the system suddenly prompted, "Keep it up, host! The male supporting character's happiness level has increased by another five points. Aren't you happy?!"
Happy my foot! She rolled around on the bed, clutching her blanket, before finally falling asleep.
For the next period of time, Lu Yan seemed to have turned on a certain "switch".
As she said, he no longer acted alone in every operation, but instead called her along to provide cover. Of course, he still didn't get his hands dirty; he just knocked the person unconscious to "deliver the gift."
Lu Yan "dealt with" the Bai family members, who relied on the Bai family's protection and hid in high society. Later, the capital city reported a series of good news, solving many old cases.
Those people all deserved their fate; they had murders on their hands.
She vaguely felt that her previous guess was correct: twenty years ago, the Bai family, Bai Chou, his background—he was gradually weakening Bai Chou's power network.
After watching him calmly and effortlessly take down a burly man for the nth time, politely adjusting his glasses with an expressionless cold gaze, she was slowly getting used to it. But she felt that if this continued, her values would be warped by this guy.
With her cooperation, after a week of busying herself with Wang Cheng's affairs during the day and dealing with the Bai family with him at night, the male supporting character's happiness level successfully reached thirty.
However, because of this, Xia Yixin became incredibly famous.
Online, most people are criticizing her for being shameless for dating young men, saying that having lived abroad makes her a slut, and that her private life is chaotic, etc. It's a one-sided condemnation.
Even after the Xia Group publicly stated that the two were engaged, the rumors did not stop. People had already dug up Lu Yan's identity as the youngest professor at the Capital Medical College, but because he had not yet achieved anything, most netizens believed that he was promoted by Xia Yixin with money.
However, before the Xia Group could take any action against those posts criticizing Xia Yixin, they miraculously disappeared, which shocked Zhao Jing, the little hacker. After investigating for a long time, she found out that it was done by a competitor.
"Regardless of who those hackers are employed by, they are friends, not enemies," Li Rui concluded.
Xia Yixin subconsciously suspected that it might be Lu Yan. He still had some conscience, so she carefully put away the pair of diamond earrings that she had originally planned to donate.
As Bai Chou gradually discovers that his people are mysteriously disappearing one by one, and the entire Bai family is in chaos, Xia Yixin's efforts at the Xia Group are finally beginning to show results.
A series of news reports appeared in the media, marking the first step in the Xia Group's reform.
The capital city has cracked several special cases, major cases, and missing persons cases.
Xia's legal team filed a collective lawsuit against 103 vice presidents and their cronies, charging them with crimes including illegal transfer of assets and bribery.
Wang Cheng, former vice president of Xia Group, is facing 16 charges and will be tried in open court soon.
shock!
That was everyone's first reaction, followed by disbelief. Was the Xia family ruining their own livelihood? Had Xia Yixin gone mad?!
Wang Cheng was the most incredulous.
When he learned that his mother, Xia Ping, had arrived, he thought the matter would be resolved quickly, because he believed that someone had bribed their way into framing him and didn't suspect anything else.
After waiting a day, he called Xia Ping, urgently saying, "Mom, Mom, how is it? Did that bitch pay up? I borrowed a prison guard's phone, please come and bail me out! I'll give you everything I promised! You can take that yacht from last time if you like it, Mom, I've really had enough of being here!"
Xia Ping's face flushed red, and she laughed angrily, "Redeem you? It's over! We're all finished! Wang Cheng, you coward, you're just as stupid as your father. How could I have been so foolish as to let you stay in the Xia family? Let me tell you, Xia Yixin knows all the good deeds you and your bunch of relatives have done, and she's preparing to sue you. That's enough to make you die ten times over! I'm telling you, I'm not your mother anymore, I can't save you!"
A week ago, Xia Ping, in a fit of rage, wanted to go to the company to find Xia Yixin, but she didn't even get to see her. Instead, she was stopped by the lawyer and security guard Brother Zhang, who had been waiting for her.
As soon as Xia Yixin spoke, the legal team, who had been waiting for a long time, entered the office and, after obtaining Xia Yixin's confirmation, placed the files in front of Xia Ping.
At first, Xia Ping was arrogant, but when the lawyer put evidence in front of her containing what she and her son had done over the past ten years, her face gradually turned pale, her hands began to tremble involuntarily, and her only thought was to protect herself. She didn't think about her son at all; that evidence was enough to put her in jail for life.
"Mom! Mom!" Wang Cheng cried out in disbelief, but the phone had already been hung up. His mind went blank. "Xia Yixin? That idiot? How could this be? Impossible! Impossible!"
How could it be Xia Yixin!
How could he possibly be finished!
Wang Cheng felt that he must be dreaming, and this nightmare was coming one after another.
The next day, he met with the lawyer assigned to him by the court and finally learned everything from him. Meanwhile, throughout the capital, the Wang family members were all taken into custody by the police in a coordinated operation.
"This court hereby pronounces its verdict: by unanimous decision of the jury, the defendant Wang Cheng is found guilty of accepting bribes and illegally transferring company assets, and is sentenced to 35 years imprisonment and deprived of his political rights for 10 years!"
Wang Cheng's face was deathly pale, and he was both crying and laughing.
"Impossible, impossible! This must be fake! How could it be that bitch! I don't believe it!"
Wang Cheng's shouting and yelling was the last memory he left for all netizens.
