He flashed a fake smile and quickly got off the bus.
"Speaking of acting, the person who plays the devoted male lead in front of those people deserves an Oscar."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left, exuding an aura that seemed to reach two meters and eighty centimeters, as if she hadn't heard the disrespectful laughter of the man behind her.
"In that case, I'll leave the banquet tonight to the Best Actress." He gave her no room for rebuttal.
She really wanted to beat that bastard to a pulp!
In my mind, the system exclaimed, "Host, your idea is very dangerous. Please don't keep flirting with death. It's a miracle that he didn't deduct points from your score. Do your best tonight!"
Xia Yixin rolled her eyes inwardly. "What's so miraculous about it? I've shown that I'm on his side. He needs me and the Xia family behind me right now. He's more rational than anyone else. I guess once he resolves the grudges from twenty years ago, his happiness level will be almost maxed out. At worst, he can just throw the original female lead next to him. Anyway, in the original story, didn't he love her so much that he imprisoned her?"
She didn't realize the sour undertone in her voice when she said those words.
As for Wang Cheng, he didn't notice anything wrong at all. During this time, he was already indifferent to the tens of millions of yuan in bills that his credit card kept ringing. The Xia Group had assets worth hundreds of billions of yuan, and it would be his sooner or later.
Last night, he spent another night making love with his second mistress and is now fast asleep in a five-star hotel.
In a daze, the police broke down the door.
When the police handcuffed Wang Cheng and took him away, naked and hooded, his mind was still blank. He didn't understand what he had done wrong. All he could think of was to tell his lover, number 2, to quickly notify his mother.
The news of Wang Cheng's imprisonment was like a thunderclap, shattering the tranquility of the Xia family and even the entire country of China.
"What?! Vice President Wang has been arrested and imprisoned by the police?!" People from all departments of Xia's Group were shocked.
On Weibo, a street photo taken by a passerby spread the news that Xia's vice president, Wang Cheng, had been arrested and imprisoned. The person who posted the photo even predicted, "It seems that the Xia Group is about to undergo a revolution. We all underestimated the new president of the Xia Group, Xia Yixin!"
The blogger's words drew a lot of ridicule.
[Oh, a brain-dead princess like her, if she did that, I'd eat shit right here!]
[That's right, that woman was out partying in the mall not long ago, spending millions on clothes in a single day.]
I think someone's trying to get rid of Wang Cheng. He was with a woman when he was arrested...
The post went pretty far off-topic, and even those at the Xia Group headquarters who saw Xia Yixin leading the cleanup were somewhat skeptical.
Wu Jun was an ordinary employee at Xia's headquarters. He was usually bullied to the point of mental breakdown by his department head, who was also Wang Cheng's cousin. The news of Wang Cheng's arrest gave him a jolt, but he soon wilted.
"So what if he's in? He's the vice president of Xia's Group. Do you think Xia's Group will just sit by and watch him get into trouble?" Wu Jun thought dejectedly. Suddenly, he heard his colleagues exclaim in surprise.
"My God, is that Xia Yixin?"
He followed the exclamation and looked at the woman who had walked past their department.
The last time she came to Xia's, she was dressed entirely in business cards, wearing heavy makeup in a ostentatious manner, just like those rich second-generation flaunters. Moreover, she was extremely arrogant. Although she accidentally fired a few members of the Wang family who usually bullied employees, those were just minor incidents.
Everyone thinks it's an isolated case.
However, today, Wu Jun suddenly had a feeling that their day was coming!
Xia Yixin had completely changed her previous brainless princess-like demeanor. She was dressed in a sharp women's suit, her hair was tied up, and she wore light makeup. Her already sculpted features looked cold and aloof. She pursed her lips, and behind her followed the charming Li Rui and two Dragon Guard bodyguards, exuding an imposing aura.
During the investigation of Wang Cheng's case, he was temporarily detained in a detention center. Of course, before reporting the incident to the police, the hacker Zhao Jing had already emptied all of Wang Cheng's secret accounts, leaving only the money in his public accounts.
While the police are investigating Wang Cheng's embezzlement case, Xia Yixin is determined to eradicate his influence and that of the Wang family.
Li Rui had previously mentioned that the other people from the original welfare home who remained at the Xia family's company were already waiting in the president's office.
“Yixin, these are the people I told you about before. Apart from Zhao Jing, the little hacker you met, there’s Guan Zheng, who’s in charge of finance, Lu Ren from HR, and Brother Zhang from security.” Li Rui introduced them one by one in the president’s office. “They were all helping you when you were recruiting people in the company before.”
Xia Yixin looked at the group of people in front of her: the cute and mischievous Zhao Jing, the tall and thin Guan Zheng who wore glasses and looked very refined, Lu Ren who was slightly chubby and always smiling, and Brother Zhang who looked tough and had been a special forces soldier.
The three boys and one girl all had clear eyes, their gazes filled with trust as they looked at her, as if they had been transported back to that night when the children looked at her with trust and adoration after defeating the perverted headmaster.
"Time is of the essence, so I won't say anything sentimental. I believe you all want to make something of yourselves, and I, Xia Yixin, will never let you down." Xia Yixin changed the subject and looked at the group. "Guan Zheng, you are in charge of the finances of the newly established investigation department. Take a day to block all the accounts of the Xia Group. I need to know all the bad apples we haven't found yet, no matter whose connections they are. Give me the list immediately."
"Brother Zhang, you're in charge of taking them all under control according to the list, putting them in separate rooms. If there aren't enough rooms, use ministerial-level offices!"
"Lu Ren is responsible for recording all the evidence of tax evasion and other crimes that they pry out of those people. We are not afraid of having many cases. The thirteen lawyers that the company just hired cannot be left idle. If necessary, we can notify Long Wei to use extraordinary measures. Zhao Jing, you are responsible for hacking into those people's secret accounts and taking all the money. We cannot let them keep their ill-gotten gains."
"Yes, Ms. Xia (Sister Xia)!" The three men and one woman immediately took action upon receiving the order.
Li Rui looked at Xia Yixin in front of her and felt her eyes redden. She was clearly a girl who was not yet 24 years old, but the aura that made them trust her had not changed, and she had even gained more of the aura of a person in a superior position.
Xia Yixin didn't notice Li Rui's change. She frowned and said, "Sister Hua, I need you to come with me to do a difficult task."
"What is it?" Li Rui didn't understand; the most difficult things should have already been announced.
"I want to establish a foundation to transfer the money from Wang Cheng and his cronies' secret accounts to provide some compensation to those who have been persecuted by them over the past ten years, especially those involved in murder cases." As their investigation progresses, the number of old cases will only increase. The law may provide the victims with some form of emotional compensation, but it cannot compensate for their direct losses.
Moreover, their money was ill-gotten gains to begin with.
Xia Yixin suddenly remembered something. "By the way, Sister Hua, there's no need for Zhao Jing to investigate Professor Hao's camera incident anymore. I know who it was."
"Who is it?" Li Rui asked, bewildered.
"...It's a long story."
Just then, she received a text message on her phone. After reading the signature, she first widened her eyes in surprise, and then immediately locked the screen.
When exactly did Lu Yan save his phone number in her phone? That's terrifying!
