Chapter 1870: Losing the Chance to Defeat Wen Xinya
On the second day, the police announced to all media outlets that they fully investigated the Wen Corporation and found no evidence linking them to the money laundering case. They stated that the Wen Corporation was officially cleared of all suspicions.
Their announcement raised a furor amongst the press, the internet, and the general public.
When the Wen Corporation was first implicated in the money laundering case, the Wen Family’s first move was not to keep the fact a secret but to temporarily set aside the company’s longstanding reputation and brand image and make a police report to aid in their investigations.
Wen Xinya had also invited the Administrative Bureau For Commerce to camp out at the Wen Corporation to gather evidence and had kept the media abreast of all their ongoings. Everyone had been astounded at her actions then and thought she was just trying to retain the trust of the consumers. But now that the Wen Corporation was cleared of all suspicions, her actions became that of one who had nothing to feel guilty about and nothing to fear.
Now, everyone believed that the Wen Corporation didn’t participate in the money laundering.
And Wen Corporation’s performance during this whole incident was principled and responsible. Their actions reflected the upright and unshakable reputation that this company held after so many years in operation.
The press kept analyzing all the various incidents the Wen Corporation had been involved in over the past years.
They realized that in every single case, the Wen Corporation had behaved just as honorably and resolutely with the media and the public as they did now.
Everyone felt that Wen Corporation was one of the few enterprises in Country Z with any sense of decency.
This was the most popular sentiment among the public.
It must be said that the Wen Corporation had touched every consumer and every member of the public. They all felt that Country Z needed more such enterprises who had a conscience.
“Kudos to the Wen Corporation!”
“Kudos to Miss Wen!”
“Kudos to Old Mr. Wen!”
Comments like these spread across the media and the internet. The battered reputation of the Wen Family was restored to an even more exalted level than before.
“This is impossible... ahhh!” Xia Ruya flung her laptop onto the floor and swept everything else from the table onto the ground.
The Li Corporation had developed too fast and its base was not stable enough. It was like a balloon that was expanding continuously, and she was the only one who knew just how close to exploding the balloon was. By then, all her efforts to build up the Li Corporation would be for naught.
To destroy the Wen Corporation, she had planned to dismantle the Wen Family’s control over the company first. Hence, she had cooperated with Qian Jianhui. Thereafter, she intended to swallow the Wen Corporation step by step, making it into one of the Li Corporation’s subsidiaries. In this way, she could also resolve Li Corporation’s issue of not having an established foundation.
Her nearly foolproof plan had been completely derailed because of Old Mr. Wen’s early release from police custody.
The Wen Corporation managed to turn the tide at the critical moment, not only emerging victorious in their bid for control over the company but also boosting their reputation. This was not the outcome she had hoped for.
“Calm down. It’s not the right time to lose your temper.” Chu Jingnan could understand her current emotional state, where hatred roiled with frustration. Even he could barely believe the outcome.
Xia Ruya had her own sources over at the police station and gotten news that there was no way Old Mr. Wen would be released these two days. She never imagined that her information could be wrong.
An entire plan could be derailed by just one wrong move.
“How in the world am I supposed to calm down? Qian Jianhui’s alliance of shareholders held 52% of the shares, there was no way we could have lost. The losers are supposed to be the Wen Family and Wen Xinya!”
Xia Ruya was unable to contain herself as she shrieked out with all her might.
This devastating loss was an opportunity for Wen Xinya and the Wen Family to counterattack.
Meanwhile, she had already used up all her trump cards. All her spies within the Wen Corporation had been plucked out by Wen Xinya. They had also sacrificed the Zhang Corporation and the entire entertainment city project just to deal with the Wen Corporation. Mr. Z would never provide her any help from now on. There was no way she could do anything major to the Wen Corporation now.
In other words, she had lost her only chance to defeat and destroy the Wen Corporation and Wen Xinya.
How could she withstand this fact?
Chu Jingnan raised his brows slightly. “You already lost, there’s no point in you throwing a tantrum here. Why not use this time to think carefully about how you are going to handle Wen Corporation’s counterattack and minimize your losses. To safeguard Li Corporation’s operations and foundation.”
This time, the Wen Corporation had not only obtained a complete victory, but their reputation had also been greatly boosted. It was inevitable the Li Corporation would soon suffer a major counterattack by the Wen Corporation. With their weak foundation, there was no way the Li Corporation would be able to withstand the attack.
“Tell me then, what should we do now?”
Chu Jingnan managed to calm Xia Ruya down, but her face still looked very grim. Her forehead was shiny with sweat while her insides continued to churn unbearably.
She had been receiving basic treatment for her pelvic inflammatory disorder, which only alleviated some of the symptoms. The doctors advised her to be hospitalized to receive the full treatment.
However, now was really not an opportune time for her to undergo surgery.
Chu Jingnan looked somewhat grave. “I need time to think this through.” He then noticed Xia Ruya’s pallid face and hurriedly asked, “What’s the matter? You look terrible. Are you feeling ill?”
During this period, Xia Ruya had been emotionally unstable and often couldn’t rein in her temper. She flew into frequent rages and increasingly avoided intimacy with him. Even when they did have sex, her response was not as passionate as before. In fact, she appeared to be bearing some pain.
Xia Ruya shook her head. “Nothing. It’s just some gastric problems. I’ll be fine after taking some medicine.”
Sweat continued to trickle down her face even as she tried to reassure him.
Chu Jingnan asked with concern, “Why don’t we go to the hospital? Gastric issues might indicate something more serious, we shouldn’t overlook your pain. Moreover, this has already happened to you several times before.”
Although Chu Jingnan was very displeased with Xia Ruya’s recent attitude, he didn’t kick up a fuss as he knew she had been suffering from gastric pains and immense pressure at work.
All the frustrations in Xia Ruya’s heart erupted. “I said I am fine. Why are you being such a busybody! So annoying!”
She had been lying to Chu Jingnan about her having gastric problems. Her secret would be exposed if they went to the hospital together.
Chu Jingnan’s face darkened and his caring expression faded away. “I have something on now. If you are truly unwell, then go to the hospital yourself!”
Without waiting for Xia Ruya to reply, he retrieved his coat and strode out.
