Capítulo 938: Chapter 938: An Unspeakable Secret
Old Mr. Wang heard Lin Zhiyi’s voice.
Holding his head, he shouted, “I’m sorry, we shouldn’t have treated you that way back then! We really didn’t know it would turn out like this!”
“How did you treat ?”
Lin Zhiyi, feeling anxious, had a slight change in her voice.
Old Mr. Wang seed to notice as well. He suddenly looked up, looking at Lin Zhiyi in the light.
“Who are you?”
Lin Zhiyi was startled and took a step back, and Gong Chen imdiately stepped forward to protect her.
President Wang stepped forward, saying, “Dad, Dad, calm down, this is Third Young Master and Miss Lin, they’ve co to see you.”
Old Mr. Wang seed to beco clear-headed at this mont, and he stood up holding onto the sofa.
“Pretending to be mysterious.”
Lin Zhiyi was speechless.
Who was more like pretending to be mysterious?
Gong Chen scrutinized Old Mr. Wang, coldly saying, “Stop pretending, you’re afraid of the Xia Family, right?”
“No!” Old Mr. Wang blurted out instinctively.
Unbeknownst to him, his answer had instead exposed him.
He directly denied it, clearly knowing who Gong Chen was asking about regarding the Xia Family.
Gong Chen said indifferently, “Your good friend just died unsolved, how do you think that happened?”
“Impossible.”
Old Mr. Wang looked at Gong Chen in disbelief.
President Wang said, “Dad, it’s true, their family has already sent the notice.”
Old Mr. Wang clutched the back of the sofa, swaying.
“How could this happen?”
Gong Chen continued, “Back then, the friend around the Xia Family also died suddenly abroad, do you still think it’s a coincidence?”
“…”
Old Mr. Wang then understood that Gong Chen ca prepared.
He slowly sat down, forcing himself to stop feeling dispirited.
“It’s over.”
“What really happened back then? What did you do to the Xia Family?” Gong Chen asked.
Old Mr. Wang sat still, unwilling to speak.
Lin Zhiyi was getting anxious just watching and urged, “Old Mr., soone has already died. If you continue to hide it, President Wang won’t even know how to guard against it.”
President Wang nodded, “Dad, just say it honestly, since Third Young Master is here, he’ll definitely find a way to resolve it.”
Old Mr. Wang sighed deeply and closed his eyes.
“This matter really can’t be blad on ; it was all your father’s idea, Third Young Master.”
Lin Zhiyi’s eyes widened.
It really was Old Mr. Gong!
To think that with their earlier deductions, they thought there was nothing between Old Mr. Gong and Mrs. Xia.
Old Mr. Wang opened his eyes, looking at the clock on the wall as if ti were rewinding in his mind.
“I rember that ti President Xia brought his wife to our gathering. We really didn’t expect him to go that far, actually bringing his wife out.”
“Everyone saw how beautiful Mrs. Xia was and had thoughts, but Third Young Master’s father took a liking to her, so we didn’t dare touch her.”
“As for what happened between Third Young Master’s father and Mrs. Xia, we don’t know. In short, Third Young Master was very angry with her, and if it were like old tis, Mrs. Xia would have no good outco.”
“She would be like prey in a hunting ground, ultimately ending up in the cage of Third Young Master’s father.”
“But strangely, in the end, Third Young Master’s father went against President Xia. He voluntarily gave up his shares, as long as President Xia could co up with the money, everything would be his.”
Gong Chen pondered, “So, President Xia took out so many high-interest loans?”
Old Mr. Wang shook his head.
“Although we were just toying with President Xia for fun, giving him that bit of money was no big deal, just for entertainnt. But while Old Mr. gave him leeway, he didn’t allow anyone to give him money.”
“President Xia spent a long ti with us, longing for our lifestyle, so he had to mortgage everything. But even with the loans, it wasn’t enough, so he took a desperate step.”
“Mrs. Xia was his bait.”
Lin Zhiyi asked suspiciously, “Bait?”
Old Mr. Wang chuckled coldly, “Seeing him humble himself for so long, we thought he knew his place. But he wasn’t an easy target either, using Mrs. Xia as bait to hook us and then extorting us.”
“Extorting? How did he extort?” Lin Zhiyi pressed.
The three n were suddenly speechless.
Lin Zhiyi suddenly realized.
She hesitated, “We are…”
Old Mr. Wang was unwilling to speak.
Lin Zhiyi understood what he ant.
She clenched her fists, just about to speak, but Gong Chen spoke first.
“What about him?”
“Rest assured, Third Young Master, your father wasn’t involved, but when he found out about this, he was furious. I’ve never seen him that angry. In the end, he resolved everything for us. As for how he resolved it, we don’t know until President Xia committed suicide,” Old Mr. Wang said.
Lin Zhiyi angrily said, “How could you bully a woman like that?”
Old Mr. Wang pressed his forehead, “Miss Lin, do you think we really need that many people to target a woman? There are plenty of beautiful won in the world! Why let soone like President Xia get leverage over us?”
“Then you all…”
“We underestimated President Xia; he drugged us while we weren’t paying attention,” Old Mr. Wang recalled.
“What about Mrs. Xia?”
“We don’t know; we only know that after the Xia Family went bankrupt, she disappeared too. Recently, I keep feeling she’s everywhere, covered in blood, wanting to settle the score with us.”
Old Mr. Wang seed to recall sothing unpleasant, and his complexion turned ashen.
Lin Zhiyi sensed sothing was wrong and quickly stepped forward to take Old Mr. Wang’s pulse.
As they say, a long illness turns into a doctor. Previously, Xingxing was not in good health, so she learned a bit of basic Chinese dicine.
Later, Li Huan also studied Chinese dicine, and she listened in on so of it.
Even though she couldn’t detect any health issues from the pulse, she could still tell if the heartbeat was normal.
“His heartbeat is abnormal, quickly send him to the hospital.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Old Mr. Wang clutched his heart and collapsed.
After going around in circles.
Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen found themselves back at the hospital.
But this ti, it was at the hospital where Li Huan worked.
With him there, Old Mr. Wang’s health condition wasn’t difficult to check.
Fortunately, this ti they were sent to the hospital in ti, and Old Mr. Wang’s life was saved.
After the rescue, Li Huan ca over.
“He must have been taking a banned substance for a long ti, slowly experiencing so hallucinations, and then his heart couldn’t bear it and he died.”
Lin Zhiyi curiously asked, “How co his hallucinations were just related to Mrs. Xia?”
Gong Chen said, “Soone must have been giving him the drug while suggesting things to him.”
Lin Zhiyi imdiately thought of a na.
Shirley.
“What exactly did Shirley experience abroad that she would employ such thods?” she remarked.
“Could it be Xia Wan? With her current abilities, it’s not hard to get such things,” Li Huan said.
Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips, “I don’t know why, but I still find Shirley very strange.”
Though Shirley appeared gentle, she just gave off an inexplicably discomforting feeling.
Gong Chen: “I’ve already asked Ren Xiya to investigate Shirley. At least now we have a rough understanding of the Xia family’s situation.”
ntioning this matter, Lin Zhiyi beca very angry.
“That President Xia really was sothing! To sell out his own wife for project funding! He deserved to go bankrupt! He actually…”
Li Huan, after hearing this, also found it hard to believe.
“That President Xia indeed wasn’t a person worth anything. He deserved to die, but how did his two daughters know about this? Could Mrs. Xia have told them? You, as a woman, could you bring yourself to say it?”
Lin Zhiyi shook her head.
She couldn’t bring herself to say it.
So how did the Xia sisters know?
