"I, that, I just..." Xiang Yanghong's heart was about to jump out of his throat. He raised his hand and said reluctantly, "I just came here to smoke a cigarette. You don't need to make such a big fuss, right?"
Xiang Wanwan laughed.
She had known for a long time that there must be Xiang Yongkang's men among the bodyguards.
Xiang Wanwan wasn't bragging, but in Jiangcheng, the Du family's security was second to none. Without an insider, how could Qi Yihu have easily entered the Du residence? Even into her room?
Pei Xingyao came to work as her assistant, and the first thing Xiang Wanwan asked him to do was to investigate the bodyguards' backgrounds. After obtaining the evidence, Xiang Wanwan had been waiting for the opportunity until that night, when all the news that needed to be spread had been spread.
Xiang Wanwan felt that it was time to close the net.
She was wearing a coat, and her face was obviously tired. She looked like she didn't want to say anything more and just raised her chin.
This was an order of permission. Wu Zhiping could no longer hold back. He rushed forward, grabbed Xiang Yanghong by the collar, and cursed, "You traitor! Let me show you how I'm going to deal with you!"
He always thought he led the team well and that he had earned the 120,000 yuan without any regrets. Unexpectedly, the one who betrayed the Du family was his subordinate!
The young lady just gave them a 100,000 yuan bonus! What's this guy's conscience? He turns around and betrays the young lady!
"No, what's wrong with me?" Xiang Yanghong still wanted to quibble.
"What's wrong?" Wu Zhiping raised his hand and threw a stack of video screenshots in his face. "Look for yourself!"
They were clearly screenshots from surveillance cameras. Each one showed either him turning off the surveillance to let Qi Yihu in, or him hiding in a corner where he thought there were no surveillance cameras, making a voice call to someone on WeChat. One of the photos even captured his WeChat chat page, and the address in the message was clearly "President Xiang."
"This...this..." Xiang Yanghong was so frightened that his face turned pale. "Miss, please listen to my explanation! It's not what you think. I...I just..."
He tried to explain in vain, but the facts were right in front of him, how could he argue?
Xiang Wanwan had known for a long time that he was Xiang Yongkang's man! She had known for a long time that Qi Yihu was able to enter the Du residence that day because of him! So, he had tipped off Xiang Yongkang over the past few days, so Xiang Wanwan also knew everything?
The one who answered him was Pei Xingyao who approached silently.
That hand was just longer and slenderer than a normal man's, but it was incredibly strong and snatched the phone from his hand without any explanation.
It's over! We have to find a way to fix it!
"...Alas!" Xiang Yanghong thought, sighed heavily, and lowered his hands. "Miss, I was wrong. I will leave on my own. You don't need to chase me away."
He was quite happy. Wu Zhiping was about to let him go when Xiang Wanwan suddenly smiled faintly.
"I'm afraid Mr. Xiang has forgotten what I said before."
Xiang Yanghong froze.
"I've always said that anyone who messes with me is messing with me for money. Whoever I work for, I take their money. So? I've done so much for Xiang Yongkang, and you're just going to quit and be done with it?" Xiang Wanwan smiled and shook her head. "You're just wishful thinking."
She was just a young girl, less than 160cm tall, frail and weak, with wrists so thin they looked like they could be broken by the wind. But for some reason, when she smiled, Xiang Yanghong, a 180cm tall man, trembled with fear.
He felt a chill down his spine, his legs involuntarily weakening, and was quickly restrained by two bodyguards. He could only plead in vain: "Miss, I was wrong, I was really wrong! I have elderly parents and young children to support, and everyone in my family depends on me for food. I was just confused for a moment, please let me go!"
Xiang Wanwan was too lazy to even glance at him and ordered, "Assistant Pei."
"Mr. Xiang, these are the surveillance cameras and surveillance routes you destroyed. The market value is 500,000 yuan." Pei Xingyao pulled a bill from his folder. "You and Qi Yihu are accomplices. We will bring you to the police station according to the law. Also, the Du family is going through a difficult time, and we can't lay off employees without reason. The security department will issue a formal announcement to avoid any misunderstandings."
What did he say? Compensation? 500,000 yuan? He'd only been working for the Du family for less than a year. From his salary to the compensation from Xiang Yongkang to the benefits from Xiang Wanwan, it didn't even add up to 500,000 yuan! And he was still being sent to the police station. Wouldn't that mean he wouldn't be detained? What would happen to his children's political review in the future?
They're even going to issue a public notice! Wouldn't that mean everyone knows he betrayed his employer? How will he survive in the future? Who would dare hire him as a bodyguard?
"Xiang Wanwan!" Xiang Yanghong was shocked and terrified, and he lost his mind and cursed. "You are too cruel! You are pushing me into a dead end! I will not let you go!"
Xiang Wanwan listened, not only didn't get angry, but was actually amused: "How strange, there are people in the world with such double standards? Well, they are quite capable."
Wu Zhiping and the others could no longer bear it. They grabbed Xiang Yanghong and took him away, cursing, "A real man should take responsibility for his actions. Have you got some manners? If you hadn't betrayed the young lady, who could have falsely accused you? You did something wrong, and you're blaming others for not punishing you?"
The bodyguards took the man away while cursing.
Xiang Wanwan also put on her coat and slowly walked towards the mansion, asking, "How is it?"
Pei Xingyao flipped through Xiang Yanghong's phone and replied, "This guy is very cautious. He bought this phone specifically to contact Xiang Yongkang. There's only one contact in it, Xiang Yongkang, and it's a smurf. Although there's the name 'President Xiang', there's no stronger evidence. We'll have to see if he gives Xiang Yongkang away at the police station."
"He won't. Having lost his job at the Du family and unable to make it in the bodyguard world, he has no choice but to turn to Xiang Yongkang and will definitely take the blame."
Pei Xingyao felt the same way, so he reported another piece of news: "That person already knows about your application for the auction."
Really? Xiang Wanwan gathered her coat and slowly walked towards the main house.
Then she'll be waiting.
Don't let her plans go to waste. She said that anyone who offends her will have a problem with money. Xiang Yongkang has been at odds with her for so long, and he hasn't lost any money. She needs to make him feel this way.
——
When Xiang Yongkang received the news, he was completely stunned.
He knew about the Jiangcheng Spiritual Plant Auction, the largest in the country, and said to sell many rare treasures every year. But it was usually attended by alchemists. So why would Xiang Wanwan, who couldn't cultivate immortality, go there?
No! Xiang Yongkang suddenly realized. It was precisely because Xiang Wanwan couldn't cultivate immortality that she wanted to go to the spiritual plant auction!
This shows that her health is very bad and she urgently needs rare treasures for treatment, otherwise she may not be able to hold on!
So, her high-profile criticism of Yao Kehan and her deliberate signing of his resignation letter were all just a facade. Runjia Investment is such a large company, and she hasn't officially taken over yet, so who would really listen to her? The people in the HR department aren't stupid!
In reality, Xiang Wanwan was just trying to divert attention! Her real goal was the spiritual plant auction! She wanted to heal her body!
No, he had to contact Yao Kehan quickly to discuss countermeasures.
Xiang Yongkang just picked up the phone and was about to call Yao Kehan when Ding Zhiyuan's words suddenly came to his mind.
His movements couldn't help but stop.
No, Yao Kehan couldn't know. Otherwise, wouldn't it be telling Yao Kehan that he would never be fired? Once Yao Kehan stopped moving, wouldn't Xiang Wanwan know that the news had been leaked, and thus guess that there was someone of his around her?
Xiang Yongkang decisively put away his phone.
Yao Kehan must be fired, otherwise wouldn't he be even more proud and think that he is really indispensable to Runjia Investment?
But how can he hide it from Yao Kehan and stop Xiang Wanwan?
"What are you doing! I don't want you to follow me! Go away! You're so annoying!"
While I was thinking, a loud noise was heard.
Oh right! Doesn’t he still have his precious baby Xiang Wanyi?
Xiang Yongkang's eyes lit up, and he walked out with a deliberately stern face and asked, "Wanyi, what's wrong with you? Are you throwing a tantrum again?"
When Ding Zhiyuan heard this address, he knew Xiang Yongkang had taken his words to heart. He couldn't hide the smugness in his eyes and called out, "Uncle Xiang."
The Xiang family father and daughter frowned at the same time because of this name. Xiang Wanyi almost got angry, but Xiang Yongkang quickly suppressed his anger and nodded to indicate that he heard it.
He glanced back and forth between Xiang Wanyi and Ding Zhiyuan, and scolded, "Why are you bullying Zhiyuan?"
"Me? Bullying him?" Xiang Wanyi's eyes widened, her face flushed red as she hesitated to speak. "It was clearly him..."
"Okay, stop talking!" Xiang Yongkang waved his hand, deliberately turned sideways, and coughed heavily several times. "Cough cough!"
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Xiang Wanyi suddenly became nervous.
Now that she has lost the title of heir to the Du family, her life's wealth and prosperity all depends on her adoptive father Xiang Yongkang. He must not be in any danger.
"Nothing, just an old problem, high blood pressure." Xiang Yongkang coughed a few more times and complained, "I've asked your mother several times to buy me some ice lotus as medicine, but she just says she can't find any. Humph!"
How could Xiang Wanyi know that this was a botched trap? She ran into it head-on. "Ice Lotus? I know where to buy it, but Dad, you have to pay for it."
Xiang Yongkang deliberately asked: "Do you know?"
"Yeah." Xiang Wanyi said casually, "There's a spiritual plant auction going on recently, there must be some there. Dad, give me one million and I'll buy you a ton!"
One million! Xiang Yongkang felt a little pain in his heart. But thinking that it would allow Xiang Wanwan to remain in such a weak and sick state, he endured it.
"Okay, I'll check your card later."
"Really? Thank you, Dad!" Xiang Wanyi said repeatedly, and the big stone in her heart was put down.
Ever since her life story was exposed, she hadn't had a chance to talk to Xiang Yongkang. Xiang Wanyi was terrified. What would she do if Xiang Yongkang didn't want her anymore? She hadn't learned anything except spending money.
Now seeing that Yongkang was still giving money as readily as before, she felt relieved.
Xiang Yongkang still loves her!
Xiang Wanyi was thinking about how to use the money, such as spending hundreds of thousands to buy some medicinal herbs for Xiang Yongkang, and spending hundreds of thousands to buy jewelry for herself.
At this moment, Xiang Yongkang casually scolded him again, "I've given you the money, but don't spend it carelessly. Also, your sister is going to the spiritual plant auction. Although she doesn't like you very much, she is now the heir to the Du family. You've grown up, so it's time for you to be sensible."
"Sister?" Xiang Wanyi was confused at first, then her whole body stood up in thorns, "Are you talking about that little bitch Xiang Wanwan?!"
"What are you talking about? Call her sister!" Xiang Yongkang deliberately scolded, "Don't be so rude when you see her. Wanwan is the eldest daughter of the Xiang family now. When you go to the auction, see what she wants to buy, buy it for her, and then give it to her to improve your relationship."
Xiang Wanyi almost jumped up: "Should I give it to her? I don't..."
Before she could finish her words, she was pulled back by Ding Zhiyuan.
Xiang Wanyi turned around and was about to slap him, but someone grabbed her wrist. A voice whispered in her ear, "Our secret."
Xiang Wanyi suddenly stopped talking as if her neck was strangled, turned around and glared at Ding Zhiyuan fiercely.
Ding Zhiyuan half-hugged Xiang Wanyi in front of Xiang Yongkang and said with a smile: "Uncle Xiang, don't worry, I will accompany Wanyi. I know what to do."
Xiang Yongkang understood the meaning of these words. He nodded and left.
"You...you let me go!" Xiang Wanyi screamed in shame and anger, "What are you doing? Aren't you afraid that I'll tell my dad? Then you won't be able to survive in Jiangcheng!"
He really liked her intelligence. Ding Zhiyuan couldn't help but smile in his heart.
He just deliberately hugged Xiang Wanyi in front of Xiang Yongkang. If Xiang Yongkang really cared about his daughter, he would have scolded him long ago.
However, Xiang Yongkang chose to turn a blind eye. This shows that in Xiang Yongkang's heart, Xiang Wanyi is not a daughter at all, at best a tool.
Then he can feel at ease.
"What?" Ding Zhiyuan not only didn't let go, but held her tighter, whispering something in her ear. "Are you telling your father that you're going to sleep with Xiang Wanwan's fiancé to get back at her? If I hadn't preferred death to my will, you'd have eaten me up and walked away like a fool."
"You...you bastard!" Xiang Wanyi's face flushed red as she kept pushing him, "Let me go!"
"No," Ding Zhiyuan said shamelessly, "unless you take me to that auction. I haven't been there yet, so take me there to broaden my horizons. And, by the way, protect you from being bullied by that real rich girl."
Xiang Wanyi was quite happy to hear his first few words, but when he said the words "real daughter", she became unhappy. However, the last sentence made her happy again.
"Okay, okay." Xiang Wanyi said reluctantly, blushing, and then struggled in embarrassment. "Let me go!"
Ding Zhiyuan reluctantly let her go, and watched her favorability level jump to 35%, feeling extremely proud.
You know, on the day of the live broadcast of the broken engagement, when Xiang Wanyi first met him, his favorability rating was -20%. In just a few days, with his endless supply of sweet talk, he's already won Xiang Wanyi over to 35%. Right now, he can only flirt with her verbally, but if he wins over her by another 5%, he'll be able to kiss this beautiful, rich woman.
When thinking of the three words "white, rich and beautiful", Ding Zhiyuan couldn't help but think of another daughter of the Xiang family.
He never had the chance to approach Xiang Wanwan, never had the chance to win her over, and strangely, his harem system was intermittent, and he couldn't even see Xiang Wanwan's favorability. At first, he could see each woman's measurements, but now he couldn't even see them, which really took away a lot of the fun.
However, even so, he still has a harem system. He is a lucky man chosen by God and is Long Aotian who can choose any woman in the world at will!
Thinking of this, Ding Zhiyuan became confident again. He caught up with Xiang Wanyi and used sweet words to get Xiang Wanyi to buy him a new set of clothes. After dressing up, he drove the million-dollar luxury car specially borrowed from Xiang Yongkang and went to the auction with Xiang Wanyi.
After the revival of spiritual energy, various auctions have emerged one after another. Among them, the largest, most famous and best quality one is the Boqian Spiritual Plant Auction in Jiangcheng.
The Boqian Auction is held only once every five years. The items auctioned are the best spiritual plants in the spiritual plant world. It is a major event in Jiangcheng.
When Ding Zhiyuan parked his car, he saw the ground full of luxury cars that he had only seen pictures of on the Internet. The Xiang family's BMW, worth more than 5 million yuan, would attract many people's attention on the street, but in this parking lot it was just average.
However, being decent is not bad. At least, it is not embarrassing.
As Xiang Wanyi got out of the car, she felt a lot of eyes looking at her.
This is her first official appearance since her life was exposed.
"Xiang Wanyi?" A slightly sharp voice came, full of surprise, "Why are you here!"
This is Zhen Wen, who has always been at odds with Xiang Wanyi. Unfortunately, her family is similar to the Xiang family, and Xiang Wanyi used to have the title of heir to the Du family, which always kept her above him in the wealthy circle.
After Xiang Wanyi's background was exposed, Zhen Wen was very happy for a while, thinking that Xiang Wanyi was finished from then on. Unexpectedly, she appeared in public again so soon, and she was driving a luxury car and wearing high-end clothes, as if she was no different from before.
how so!
The anger and jealousy in her eyes were clear. Xiang Wanyi looked even more smug and raised her chin. "Why? Can't I come? Is this a garbage recycling plant?"
The Zhen family is engaged in waste recycling equipment. Strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with waste recycling, but Xiang Wanyi said that on purpose to deliberately anger her.
"You...!" Zhen Wen was truly furious, cursing, "You fake daughter! What qualifications do you have to show off in front of me?"
Ding Zhiyuan had repeatedly taught her how to answer this question before they set off. Although Xiang Wanyi was furious, she managed to maintain a smile and said proudly, "I'm your adopted daughter. You don't understand the law and you're just asking nonsense. You're illiterate! Besides, what's the difference between biological and adopted? My father loves me and I'm the one who spends his money. That's enough."
She flicked her long curly hair, becoming more and more complacent as she spoke. "Well, my dad heard that uneducated, unrecognizable woman was coming, and he was worried that she'd never been around a wealthy family before and wouldn't understand the rules of an auction, bringing shame to the Xiang family. So, he sent me here to look after her. This unmannered woman, who hasn't even studied for a few days, is surrounded by wealthy people, talking about everything from haute couture dresses to jewelry, yachts to fun rides, and what prizes their horses have won in competitions. Do you think she'll understand? If she sits there like a wooden man, staring blankly, not only will the Xiang family be embarrassed, but won't everyone else be ashamed?"
“…” The people around listened and nodded secretly.
That seems to be the case.
"Look at how she clings to the money the moment she returns, huh!" Xiang Wanyi declared loudly, "The Xiang family's face, the true daughter of a wealthy family, is only me, after twenty years of being educated as a daughter of a wealthy family! Today, you will see that the Princess and the Pea remains a princess even after being caught in the rain, while Cinderella, without her mother, has only one option left: to seduce the prince, and then she has to go back to sweeping the floors!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a white Rolls-Royce Phantom drove in.
