Stolen Life of the Poor Girl, Top Luxury Family's Group Favor

Chapter 197

"Young Master Wei?"

"Young Master Wei, the bank is still waiting for your return call," the bodyguard reminded, seeing Wei Wenjuan standing there in a daze.

Wei Wenjuan snapped back to reality and chose not to tell anyone about his discovery. "Mm, I'll call the bank back. The account changes are normal."

"Understood, Young Master," the bodyguard acknowledged and withdrew.

The other subordinates glanced at his expression and continued reporting their findings from the search.

Wei Wenjuan leaned heavily against the chair back, inwardly smiling ruefully yet feeling proud. Xiao Ya, even Uncle couldn't see through you...

"Young Master." There was another knock at the door. "Miss Xing wishes to see you."

If he hadn't discovered the bank account changes, Wei Wenjuan wouldn't have been in the mood to see her at all. It was already decent of him not to shoot her on sight.

But now Wei Wenjuan's mindset had shifted. He nodded slightly, "Let her in."

A subordinate beside him couldn't help saying, "She's Wei Lin's fiancée..."

Wei Wenjuan lowered his head, "Thinking about it now, her words during the search were too deliberate."

The subordinate was stunned, "She's digging a pit for Wei Lin? Why? Does she want to defect to you? If so, she didn't need to get involved with Wei Lin in the first place, even getting pregnant..."

"Because she's not defecting to me at all."

"Then is she afraid of the old master holding her accountable now?"

Wei Wenjuan raised his hand high and patted the subordinate's shoulder, saying, "Stop guessing. You won't figure it out."

So... the Young Master had already figured it out? In any case, Wei Wenjuan's current reaction reassured the subordinates even more. They bowed respectfully and then withdrew.

The door opened, and Xing Siyun walked in.

Xing Siyun was truly afraid of being killed by a crazed Wei Wenjuan. She timidly raised her head, meeting Wei Wenjuan's appraising gaze.

Wei Wenjuan didn't say a word.

He looked at her, wondering how it was possible. How could someone like Xing Siyun - greedy, ambitious, yet narrow-minded - become such a sharp blade?

How did she manage it?

While Wei Wenjuan was still pondering, Xing Siyun was already starting to crack under the pressure.

"Young Master... listen to me. Actually, Xiao Ya and I are on the same team. Do you understand what I mean?" Xing Siyun said as she took out her phone.

"Do you believe me?"

She was prepared to let him listen to the recording if necessary.

At least he couldn't kill her.

Wei Wenjuan retracted his gaze, "I believe you."

"Really, Wei Lin is just a wolf. I'm very grateful to Xiao Ya for bringing me abroad, so I... Huh?" Xing Siyun's defense stopped halfway.

Wei Wenjuan actually believed her?

He believed her just like that!

Xing Siyun was almost moved to tears of joy. Even Wei Wenjuan's gloomy and harsh face seemed to become endearing.

For a moment, she narcissistically wondered if Wei Wenjuan might have some feelings for her. But this thought was quickly suppressed. After all, before she got together with Wei Lin, Wei Wenjuan had always been indifferent towards her...

Could it be that Xiao Ya had arranged everything in advance?

Xing Siyun couldn't help but marvel at the thought.

No, how old is she? If that's really the case, then... it's a bit terrifying.

"What? You just came to tell me this?" Wei Wenjuan asked coldly.

Xing Siyun snapped back to reality, "I, I mean... I can actively cooperate with you."

"What can you do?" Wei Wenjuan shook his head, "My sister Wenyu was taken back to the country by Wei Lin, then handed over to that bastard Li Jiang... To this day, we haven't found solid evidence for this matter."

"That Li Jiang... Didn't he confess in the country before disappearing? Isn't his confession enough?"

"Confession? Even if confronted face-to-face, Wei Lin wouldn't admit to it."

"So there's no way to deal with him?"

Wei Wenjuan denied this, "The existing evidence is enough to send him to his death. To be honest, it's not difficult to fabricate evidence."

As he spoke, his expression grew increasingly cold.

"I just... can't accept it," Wei Wenjuan gritted his teeth, "I can't accept that Wenyu's matter would be glossed over like this. We need to give her an explanation, to let everyone know how Wei Lin plotted against my sister! On this matter, we can't falsify anything. I want the truth of the incident, completely and fully restored before everyone!"

"Then, why don't we call Xiao Ya and ask?"

"..."

They looked at each other.

It was absurd that two adults, when faced with a problem, would first think of seeking help from a child.

But Wei Wenjuan felt no shame in this. He simply said, "Xiao Ya's phone is unreachable."

Xing Siyun looked a bit disappointed, "She said she would call me."

Wei Wenjuan shot her an annoyed glance upon hearing this.

Xing Siyun shrank her shoulders. Was that... jealousy?

At this moment, Xiao Ya was still staying with Ke Muning in the villa on Long Island.

The fork in her hand was mutilating the food on her plate. Ke Muning asked, "Not tasty?" He had offered to find her a chef from Hua Country, but she refused, saying it would attract attention and expose them. The little one was quite cautious!

"Mm, it's not that," Xiao Ya said, forking a piece of beef into her mouth.

"Then what's wrong? Are you starting to worry about your uncle?"

"No. It's just..." Xiao Ya said softly, "Killing Wei Lin wouldn't be difficult, but he'd never admit to what he's truly done. How can we make him confess?"

"Chop off one of his hands, and in front of him, put it in a meat grinder, grind it up, then he'd talk, wouldn't he?" Ke Muning spoke as if he had experience in such matters.

Xiao Ya didn't notice the bloodthirstiness in Ke Muning's words. She rejected his proposal, "In others' eyes, that would be a forced confession. He can't die in a way that makes people sympathize with him."

Ke Muning's phone suddenly rang.

"It's Wang calling," Ke Muning said, looking down at his phone.

Xiao Ya's eyes lit up, eagerly looking at Ke Muning, waiting for him to hand over the phone.

Ke Muning held onto the phone, suddenly not very willing to give it to her.

"Hello."

"I'm looking for Xiao Ya," Secretary Wang on the other end said directly.

"There's no Xiao Ya here."

"Ke Muning, don't play dumb."

Ke Muning scoffed coldly, saying, "I'll translate for you two."

Secretary Wang smoothly switched to the Hua Country language: "Go ahead and translate then."

"..."

Ke Muning put the phone on the table and turned on the speaker: "Go ahead, you two."

"The matter is done," Secretary Wang continued in Hua Country language.

"Thank you, you've worked hard," Xiao Ya's voice was soft. "Secretary Wang, there's one more thing..."

"Who are we cutting this time?"

"No price cutting this time." Xiao Ya explained her dilemma about how to make Wei Lin confess on his own.

"Want to know how to do it? It's simple..." Secretary Wang said with a smile on his face, though Xiao Ya couldn't see it from her end.

Xiao Ya immediately perked up her ears, ready to listen attentively to his guidance.

"Let me keep you for three days, and I'll tell you. Just three days, that's short, right?" Secretary Wang's smile deepened.

Ke Muning wouldn't agree even for ten days.

In comparison, Secretary Wang's three days seemed like a very low demand. He was being reasonable.

Xiao Ya agreed immediately: "Okay!"

Secretary Wang was very happy, as if he had finally obtained a cherished item that money alone couldn't buy.

Three days wasn't long. The Rafflesia he kept last month lived for five days.

Three days would be enough time to ensure he could return her before she died in his care.
