When Hongye suggested consulting Wenwan and Chenluo, Wenxiu sat down, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes.
Fifth Young Master.
The executives tried to persuade Wen Xiu, but Hongye stopped them.
Over the past few days, she has gained a certain understanding of Wenxiu's way of doing things.
When faced with important choices, Wenxiu never makes a hasty decision.
The more critical the moment, the more urgent the situation, the more he will choose to calm down first, clear his mind for a while, eliminate all negative emotions, and not let emotions affect his judgment.
Such composure in the face of danger is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
It must be said that the current generation of the Wen family are all outstanding individuals.
Even the most incompetent Wen Xiu was far more outstanding than the average second-generation heir, which explains why the Wen family has been able to stand strong for hundreds of years and remain at its zenith.
Meanwhile, Wenxiu was constantly analyzing the current advantages and disadvantages and the possible situation that might occur next.
Firstly, his intuition told him that the person who could use such methods was most likely not an outsider, but a second-generation scion who was well-versed in the various rules of the country, or a professional manager raised by one of the top ten aristocratic families.
This judgment was made because Wenxiu had dealt with external capital before, and their style was more inclined to use espionage in conjunction with massive financial investment. Due to their special nature, they rarely had the power to mobilize the government.
On the contrary, it is the family members in China who really like to use this kind of disgusting method.
I volunteered to be the vanguard here. If we are sunk in the first battle, how can I hold my head up in front of Wen Wan and Chen Luo?
Moreover, if he couldn't even handle something this simple, his position in the family wouldn't be very high after Wen Wan took over.
Thinking this, Wenxiu had a solution in mind and suddenly opened her eyes.
"No, let's not disturb the young couple's trip home to visit their family. They need to go home to pay their respects to their father during the Spring Festival."
“If they can’t visit relatives for the New Year because of us, and Dad gets angry, then we’re doomed.”
Hearing Wen Xiu's relaxed tone, everyone's tense nerves relaxed a little.
"So, Fifth Young Master, what should we do now?"
"Okay, you guys go and rest first. I'll handle the rest. I'm going to make a call."
As she spoke, Wen Xiu got up and walked towards her office.
"Just to be on the safe side, let's take some counter-surveillance measures."
After entering the office and closing the door, Wen Xiu took out a remote control from her pocket, pressed it, and a horn sounded, blocking all network signals in the vicinity.
He then took out a satellite phone from his pocket and pressed the dedicated secure call channel.
These high-security cell phones are typically only used by high-ranking military personnel, and the communication channels are usually limited to one-on-one use, making them impossible to crack using ordinary eavesdropping methods.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
After a long while, a puzzled voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Fifth brother? Is that you?"
"It's me, Third Brother. How have you been?"
When the third son of the Wen family received Wen Xiu's call, he was honestly a little apprehensive. Now the entire Wen family knew that the fifth son had already joined Wen Wan's ranks.
He and Wen Wan had a grudge back then. When he sent someone to assassinate Wen Wan, he accidentally injured Chen Luo. Wen Wan had previously acted as if she wanted to fight him to the death.
If Wen Xiu hadn't taken the bullet for him, and if his father Wen Tao hadn't intervened and stopped him, he would have already suffered heavy losses under Wen Wan's suicidal attacks.
Therefore, he now avoids anything related to Wen Wan, minimizing his presence and absolutely refusing to get involved in the succession struggle between Wen Wan and Wen Shao.
Those who are family know their own situation. They know that they are no match for Wen Shao and Wen Wan in terms of ability. If they really try to compete, they are afraid that they will only face dire consequences.
It would be better to withdraw voluntarily. No matter who comes to power, they won't completely destroy me. I might lose some of my assets and power, but at least I'll still be a wealthy man.
Now that Wenxiu has suddenly called him, what if she's trying to drag him into this mess?
He wouldn't be foolish enough to be used as a pawn by Wen Wan, after all, he knew better than Wen Xiu how terrifying his elder brother Wen Shao was.
"Hahaha! Fifth brother! Third brother is in a meeting right now, do you want me to call back later?"
The third son of the Wen family just wanted to hang up the phone as soon as possible and turn it off immediately, as if he had never received Wen Xiu's call.
"Oh dear, Third Brother, don't be nervous, I won't drag you down with me."
"I just want you to do me a favor. You see, I took the knife for you last time, right? You said you owed me a favor, right?"
"Fifth brother, all I want is a peaceful life, not to live in constant fear, so please don't try to trick me!"
"Third Brother, I won't cheat you. I just want you to make a phone call for me and introduce me to a few friends. It's that simple."
"It's that simple?"
"Yes, you see, I just arrived in this central market and I don't know anyone here. I can't find anyone to drink with. I'd like to find some local friends."
"I heard you have an old classmate who works at the police station in Jiangling City. Could you introduce me to him?"
Upon hearing this, he immediately lowered his guard. It was nothing serious to simply introduce a classmate to his brother, and he certainly couldn't admit that he was interfering in their struggle for the throne.
"Okay, I'll call my classmate later and have him contact you."
"Okay, thanks, Third Brother. We're even now. I'll treat you to a drink when we get back. Bye-bye."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Xiu's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Third Brother, you're dreaming if you think you can stay out of this. None of us can escape this battle. Besides, I'm trying to find you a chance to reconcile with Wen Wan. You'll owe me a favor then."
"Alright, now it's time to stir things up and alert the enemy."
...
Three days later, in Meihua Village, Xiye Town, Jinfeng County.
"ah!"
Wen Wan stepped out of the room, stretched, and revealed her graceful figure.
Chen Luo, trembling and leaning against the wall, followed them out, his face somewhat pale.
Wen Wan turned around and patted his shoulder: "Baby! Thank you so much for your hospitality these past ten days!"
At this moment, Chen Luo really wanted to shout: Ten days! Do you know how I spent these ten days?
But he couldn't call out, because Wen Wan had already taken his hand.
"The New Year is approaching, and we should go to the capital to pay our respects to our father. We can't let him down."
