Chapter 1831: The Major Ploy Against the Wen Corporation!
The police and the Administrative Bureau Of Business and Commerce were just gathering all the evidence related to the Wen Corporation money laundering case. Apart from Wen Haowen, several other people had also been implicated.
Two of them were from the Wen Corporation, and they were both senior management personnel who had been highly regarded by Wen Haowen. The entertainment city project subsidiary company had five management staff implicated, while ten people from Zhang Corporation were compromised, including their Chairman, directors and senior management.
All suspects had already been arrested and were being investigated by the police.
“Slap…”
Wen Xinya was in an extremely bad temper. She flung the magazine in her hands viciously onto the floor. Her eyes were red with rage.
Si Yiyan walked over quietly and glanced at the magazine. He had known Xinya for over 10 years and this was the first time he had witnessed her in such a temper.
Wen Haowen had completely infuriated her this time.
Wen Xinya trembled all over in anger. “That bastard. He actually had the guts to do something like that. He must have lost his mind.”
Grandpa had taken the initiative to lodge a police report and cooperated fully with the investigations. Now that the investigation had been completed, and there was insufficient evidence to implicate the Wen Corporation, Grandpa should have been released within these two days.
Unless the police got hold of some new evidence proving that Grandpa was involved in the entertainment city project money laundering case, only then would they appeal to keep Grandpa detained.
And Wen Haowen, after he had been arrested, insisted that he didn’t know about any money laundering in the entertainment city project. He claimed that Grandpa was the one in control of the project operations.
He had pushed all responsibility onto Grandpa. As a result, Grandpa was now unable to leave police custody before the authorities completed their investigation of Wen Haowen.
Si Yiyan held her shoulders and said soothingly, “Don’t be angry anymore. It’s not worth it over scum like Wen Haowen.”
Scum…
That word alone was not enough to describe just how low and despicable Wen Haowen was.
All this while, for the sake of Old Mr. Wen and for the sake of kinship, she had never really done anything to Wen Haowen. But his current behavior had utterly destroyed any bit of benevolence Xinya felt toward him. From now on, he should be prepared to be on the receiving end of Xinya’s wrath.
Wen Xinya was still hopping mad. “Wen Haowen, that dumb idiot. Does he really think he can wash his hands of the money laundering matter just by pushing all the blame to Grandpa? Ha… he must be dreaming. The police are no fools. They won’t be so easily swayed by him. The authorities just need to comb through all the evidence and interrogate the suspects. Grandpa will be able to prove his innocence very soon. Wen Haowen will receive a heavier sentence for making false statements and wrongly accusing others.”
Wen Haowen pushing the blame onto Grandpa—it would only prolong Grandpa’s detainment by a few more days at the very most.
He couldn’t possibly succeed in heaping all responsibility upon Grandpa.
Wen Haowen’s actions were foolish to the extreme.
Si Yiyan said mildly, “Although Wen Haowen is used to shirking his responsibilities and pointing fingers at others, he doesn’t have the guts to make false statements to the police.”
Based on how Wen Haowen usually did things, he must have thought about how to escape once the entertainment city project money laundering case was exposed. It was completely out-of-character for him to make a false statement to the authorities.
Startled, Wen Xinya felt an icy chill engulf her body. “Do you mean someone steered him toward making that false statement?”
Yes! If not for external influence, Wen Haowen would have probably already found someplace to hide. It was impossible that he would be so easily caught by the police. He must have some reason not to fear being implicated, that was why he dared to face the police.
Wen Xinya took up the newspaper before her. She now understood everything. “So this is the major ploy that Xia Ruya has against the Wen Corporation!”
The headline news was about how complex the entertainment city project money laundering case was, and how the Wen Family’s father and son were making wild accusations against each other. The press also pointed out just how shallow and weak the blood ties in the Wen Family were.
Wen Corporation was now completely mired in hell.
The entertainment city project money laundering case should have been resolved. With Grandpa’s impending release from police custody, the Wen Corporation’s name should have been cleared. However, because of Wen Haowen’s accusations, Grandpa had once again been dragged into the mess. The Wen Corporation also continued to be stuck in the mud, unable to pull itself free from the scandal.
“Xia Ruya made use of Wen Haowen to deal the Wen Corporation a vicious blow. It can be seen just how malevolent she is.”
At this point, even Si Yiyan couldn’t help thinking that Xia Ruya was indeed an extremely shrewd and crafty person. She missed no opportunity and was willing to do anything to achieve her goals.
Wen Xinya gradually tempered down her anger. She smiled coldly. “Xia Ruya has done well. Just one move and the Wen Corporation is being squeezed on both ends and pushed right to the edge. She has every intention of completely destroying the Wen Corporation.”
Letting Wen Haowen accuse Grandpa so that he would not be quickly released from police custody. The money laundering matter had once again turned murky. The press and the public’s suspicions toward the Wen Corporation would be deepened and the backlash would be very severe. The citizens would start boycotting the company and their market share would continue to slide.
The Li Corporation would take advantage of this to take over the Wen Corporation’s luxury brand market. Meanwhile, everyone in the Wen Corporation would be feeling very perturbed by Old Mr. Wen’s implication in the money laundering case. The company would be torn from the inside out.
By the time the truth was uncovered and Old Mr. Wen managed to clear his name—it would probably be too late.
“The Wen Corporation has now fallen into an extremely vulnerable state, it is being attacked on all sides but can do nothing about it.”
Previously, things had already been stabilized after Xinya made public the investigation and had the Administrative Bureau Of Business and Commerce carry out their investigations into the Wen Corporation. The company would be able to pull itself out of danger as long as Old Mr. Wen could be released quickly.
However, Wen Haowen had now turned around and accused Old Mr. Wen. Wen Corporation was in a very perilous situation.
Wen Xinya was totally frustrated by the entire matter. She said in resignation, “The only thing we can do now is to take this opportunity to reorganize the company and flush out any more spies. We have no choice but to take one step at a time!”
The way things were now, it was very difficult for her to hold the fort at Wen Corporation.
Si Yiyan gently massaged her furrowed brows. “Don’t frown. You still have me.”
Wen Xinya relaxed her brows and gently leaned into his arms. “Wen Haowen was a top student in his business studies and knows quite a bit about the law. How did he end up being fooled by such a blatant hoax!”
He was related to the Wen Family by blood but had become a blade in Xia Ruya’s hands, which she was using to viciously stab Grandpa and the Wen Corporation.
She couldn’t help lamenting over how stupid and ignorant Wen Haowen was.
At the same time, she also felt it was utterly ridiculous how self-centered he was.
How could a person be so despicable and shameless?
