Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Because the bodyguards Wang Cheng hired for her were not allowed to enter the Xia family's ancestral home, she had a lot of freedom.
Over the past three days, Xia Yixin randomly chose an empty study to learn about the Xia Group. The materials about the Xia Group were all freshly produced, totaling thirteen file boxes.
She realized how daunting the task was only after looking at it this way.
Ten years ago, Grandpa Xia was in a serious car accident and was in a coma for more than a year. At that time, the power was taken over by the original owner's aunt. Later, although Grandpa Xia recovered, he spent half of the year in a sanatorium. The original owner's aunt was responsible for taking care of her abroad, while Wang Cheng in China also held absolute power and sidelined the original owner. However, for some reason, Xia's Group has been losing money in recent years. She is not so good that she can see anything from the accounts alone.
Because of her memories from her past life, she pays special attention to her health. She takes walks every now and then, and after lunch, she stands by the window to breathe in the fresh air and organize her thoughts.
Although she couldn't see any problems in the accounts, judging from the profit and loss, the Xia family was currently in a state of affairs. On the surface, everything seemed calm, but based on these data, the Xia family would go bankrupt in less than three years. The information she could find on Wang Cheng was too limited, so she still needed to go to the company to investigate in person.
At that moment, the computer notified me of a new email.
Xia Yixin hired a private investigator three days ago using the original owner's money to investigate Lu Yan's affairs. In the original owner's memory, the other party was just a bar customer whom she took a liking to and brought back. He was of higher reference value. The only useful thing was probably the millions of pocket money in her account every month.
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. Besides, his dislike for her was obvious, so she wasn't in a hurry.
Opening the email, the private investigator provided very little information. The orphanage's records were destroyed, and Lu Yan's records before coming to the capital were unavailable. The most recent record was that he entered the capital's medical school four years ago through a special admission program, became a professor at the capital's medical school at the age of twenty, and was Professor Hao's last disciple. He had no medical inventions to date, but was rumored to be a medical prodigy.
Xia Yixin's gaze was drawn to the last sentence: "The investigation revealed that he is being monitored by a powerful force; the monitor is unknown."
Lu Yan is actually a medical professor, and was the destruction of his records before he came to the capital intentional or accidental? Is someone following Lu Yan? It definitely can't be Wang Cheng; he knows even less than she does.
The system also gasped, "Wow, it seems the villainous boss is indeed quite enigmatic."
"It's not just mysterious, System, I think there's more to this than meets the eye." A thought flashed through Xia Yixin's mind. "Why go to such lengths to destroy the orphanage's records? If Lu Yan were an ordinary person, he wouldn't need to. Besides, a six-year-old child sent to an orphanage should already have memories. Is Lu Yan truly an orphan, or is there some other hidden story? Later on, he wiped out the Xia and Bai families in a short period of time. Isn't that too impressive? Could he have done it all by himself?"
"..." The system was so shocked by her idea that it was speechless.
Unfortunately, she had very little information, and the original novel was... She accidentally scattered the personnel files of the company's employees, and suddenly realized something.
"By the way, system, I only read the synopsis before. Can I read the original text?"
"Oh, that's great! What do you want to do?"
"Can you find the passage in the original novel about the villain's first appearance?" Xia Yixin was now completely intrigued by the mystery surrounding Lu Yan's background.
She suddenly had a brilliant idea: there must be a brief comparison between the introduction and the article content. Sure enough, she found a clue just as she expected.
[Yixin Biotechnology was born under his leadership, and he simultaneously developed the first anti-cancer drug with a 99% cure rate across all cancer cell types. He became the youngest Nobel Prize laureate in Medicine. His subsequent T-series curative drugs and K-series psychotropic drugs also propelled Yixin Pharmaceutical to dominate the Chinese pharmaceutical industry. This medical prodigy was also unparalleled in the business world. Yixin Biotechnology accumulated enormous wealth and acquired the businesses of the Xia and Bai families, making Lu Yan the ultimate winner.]
"As expected!" Sure enough, there were clues in the original text.
Xia Yixin turned back to her desk and found the project that Wang Cheng had terminated among a pile of investment proposals.
"The investment in the genetic engineering laboratory of the First Medical College of the Capital has been withdrawn... RP3 research has been terminated." Xia Yixin's expression turned serious. This RP3 is the anti-cancer drug that propelled Lu Yan to fame, and it must be most closely related to the secrets surrounding him.
A psychologist once said that if you have a puzzle you can't solve, try looking for the source.
Moreover, judging from the timeline, even if the drug is unsuccessful, it is already in its final stages. Wang Cheng's sudden withdrawal of investment must be suspicious.
"Host, I give you full marks for this move, but I feel like you're playing a detective game. I have to remind you, you're trying to increase the male supporting character's happiness level!" The system was completely impressed by its host's imagination.
Xia Yixin didn't think so. "The original Xia Yixin was a naive and innocent girl. Look at her ending. System, don't forget that the male supporting character Lu Yan is the biggest villain in this story. Even the female lead, with her protagonist halo, almost got wiped out."
Xia Yixin felt that she had not only found clues about Lu Yan, but also seemed to have found a breakthrough to get rid of Wang Cheng, this black sheep. However, she was short of people right now.
Just as she was about to ask Grandpa Xia why the person he had found for her hadn't arrived yet, there was a knock on the door.
After receiving her reply, a charming woman entered.
When Xia Yixin saw her face clearly, she exclaimed in surprise, "...Sister Hua?"
It's like a pillow being delivered just when you're about to fall asleep.
She understood what she hadn't been able to figure out before: "Did you send me that text message?"
Her response was a charming smile: "Otherwise what?"
Sister Hua, now known as Li Rui, has transformed from the thin, dark-skinned, and timid woman she was in the orphanage into a beautiful, alluring, and sexy businesswoman. Even in her professional attire, her ample bosom is still visible, prompting Xia Yixin to involuntarily glance at herself. Hmm, whether in her past life or in this body, her breasts are a B cup.
I'm so envious, jealous, and resentful.
Strictly speaking, Xia Yixin's appearance at this moment doesn't resemble that of a domineering CEO. She looks too "young," with almond-shaped eyes that curve like a child's when she smiles, like a delicate porcelain doll. However, her calm demeanor makes those around her unconsciously trust her.
"Shortly after you left the orphanage, the new orphanage received funding from the Xia family. Many of us chose to join the Xia family after we grew up. Yixin, we have all been looking forward to your return!" Li Rui changed her strong-willed demeanor from when she left the orphanage and excitedly pulled Xia Yixin along.
It turns out that the children from the orphanage still remember Xia Yixin leading the rebellion. Those who stayed in the Xia family after adulthood quietly took root in various departments of the Xia Group, which was a completely unexpected surprise for her.
