He paid no mind to whether the madwoman lived or died; he wanted to see what was on this USB drive!
He truly didn't know until he looked, and when he did, he stayed up until the second half of the night!
Almost every piece of information within had Xie Youlin trembling with fear!!!
No wonder Xie Hongtian had sworn to protect this thing with his life, keeping it somewhere outside the Xie Corporation!!!
It wasn't that the contents were all that terrifying, but just one piece of information, if revealed, could cause a stir. It even involved numerous bloody cases!
The truths that had been buried, like a spiderweb, crisscrossed the relationships of various people. Those who were preyed upon could only feel suffocated and filled with despair.
Xie Youlin murmured to himself, "Xie Hongtian, you truly are a good father. With these files, I can manipulate everyone. This world will be crushed beneath my feet!"
Xie Youlin quickly pieced together one of the clues and decided to use it to his advantage, perhaps even pushing Ou Yunchen into a corner!
And so, the next day, Xie Youlin contacted Zhou Shenghua of the Securities Regulatory Commission.
—During Xie Youlin's call—
Zhou Shenghua: "Who are you?"
Xie Youlin: "Who I am is not important. What is important is that I know your sister's company has done things it shouldn't have."
Zhou Shenghua: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Xie Youlin: "Your sister is Madam Wang, the wife of President Wang. I'm not mistaken, am I?"
Zhou Shenghua: "You, what do you want?"
Xie Youlin: "I don't want anything. I just need you to do me a small favor."
Zhou Shenghua: "What favor?"
Xie Youlin: "Make AtL disappear, or I'll publicize your sister's tax evasion."
Zhou Shenghua: "Who exactly are you!"
—Xie Youlin's call ends—
***
He never expected his first threat to be so successful.
Zhou Shenghua, fearing his sister's dirty laundry would be exposed, obediently went to cause trouble for AtL. However, after three days of investigation with his team, they found nothing.
Zhou Shenghua: "I still don't know who made that call."
Madam Wang: "Should I just deregister the company quickly then?"
Zhou Shenghua: "There will be a thorough investigation during deregistration. Do you think you can escape?"
Madam Wang: "Then what do you suggest we do!"
Zhou Shenghua: "I've already done as that person said and caused trouble for AtL. Although I can't make the company disappear instantly, our constant investigations will make it impossible for them to operate."
Madam Wang: "Did AtL offend someone?"
Zhou Shenghua: "That's certain! But how does this person have evidence against you? Weren't all those who knew about it already...?"
Madam Wang: "Hush, Zi Ran is at home."
Zhou Shenghua nodded. They didn't know that Wang Ziran was already eavesdropping outside the door.
Zhou Shenghua: "I suspect this is targeting Ou Yunchen. That kid is on a roll lately. Many companies are investing in AtL, and anything they invest in turns a profit. It's probably affecting the operations of other investment firms."
Madam Wang: "I wanted to ask you, is this Ou Yunchen really that capable? He must have some connections, right?"
Zhou Shenghua: "For AtL to remove him, it was actually Ou Yunchen pulling the strings from behind the scenes. He also found those clients. I don't know who his connections are."
Madam Wang: "It's not from our family anyway. You handle it."
Zhou Shenghua: "Oh, my dear sister, do you think our Wang family is the only one causing trouble? There are far more powerful people out there! Brother-in-law is just the president. Perhaps Ou Yunchen's backing is..."
Zhou Shenghua pointed to the sky, and Madam Wang immediately understood!
Zhou Shenghua: "By the way, besides our family, who else knows about that matter?"
Madam Wang: "It's been so long, ten years ago. I can't remember."
Zhou Shenghua: "You can't not remember! We might lose our heads!"
Madam Wang stomped her feet anxiously. Thanks to President Wang's connections, she had been safe for over a decade. How could it be dug up again?
Madam Wang suddenly slapped her forehead; she thought of someone.
Zhou Shenghua: "Who!!!"
Madam Wang: "Xie Hongtian!"
Madam Wang: "He must know!"
Madam Wang: "But he's dead. Who could be calling you?"
Zhou Shenghua: "Ah, how could I forget!"
Madam Wang leaned closer, and Zhou Shenghua spoke cautiously, "His son, Xie Youlin, inherited the Xie Corporation. He's already caused trouble for AtL! If he hadn't reported them once, we wouldn't have investigated AtL!"
Madam Wang: "Didn't you find anything then?"
Zhou Shenghua: "It's precisely because we found nothing that he's relentless. Xie Youlin and Ou Yunchen are sworn enemies! And Xie Youlin is Xie Hongtian's only son. He must have learned it from his father!"
Madam Wang: "This damn old man! He's dead, but his mouth is still loose!!!"
Zhou Shenghua: "We still don't know how much Xie Youlin knows!!!"
At this moment, Wang Ziran listened intently, firmly remembering the name Xie Youlin. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend!
