It Started With a Kiss: Leng Shao's Beloved Wife

Chapter 212: Exploring the Undercurrent: Approaching the Core

After Luo Yichen hung up the phone, his deep gaze fell on Wu Xinyan, with a hint of admiration: "You always catch details that others overlook." Wu Xinyan smiled back, but there was a lingering worry between her brows: "I just feel that things are not that simple. The 'Huanyu' consortium is like a puppet, and the hand behind it is the real mastermind behind the scenes."

Luo Yichen personally went to the headquarters of the "Huanyu" consortium and held a seemingly friendly meeting with the chairman of "Huanyu".

On the surface, everything seems calm, but in reality, there are undercurrents.

Luo Yichen tested the situation calmly, and the chairman responded without a single leak. Both sides had ulterior motives, and the confrontation ended with a bland greeting.

At the same time, Wu Xinyan was not idle.

She mobilized the resources of the Roche Group and asked Researcher Sun to conduct an in-depth investigation into the flow of funds of the "Universal" consortium.

Researcher Sun works diligently and tirelessly to analyze every transaction record.

However, the mysterious man X had already noticed the direction of their investigation and set a trap in advance.

Researcher Sun found a seemingly suspicious funding chain and reported it to Wu Xinyan in ecstasy, but he didn't know that he had fallen into X's trap.

This capital chain is complicated, involving multiple shell companies and ultimately pointing to an overseas account.

Researcher Sun followed this line of investigation, spent a lot of time and energy, but found nothing.

Wu Xinyan looked at the frustrated Researcher Sun and did not blame him. Instead, she comforted him gently: "It's okay, let's try another direction."

Wu Xinyan carefully studied the information brought back by Researcher Sun and keenly noticed something strange in it.

Although this funding chain was disguised perfectly, the timing and amounts of several transactions seemed too deliberate, as if they were deliberately trying to lead them to investigate in this direction.

A bold speculation emerged in Wu Xinyan's mind: Could this be a smokescreen deliberately released by X to cover up the true flow of funds?

Wu Xinyan immediately summoned Analyst Zhao and other capable analysts in the group to analyze the information that Researcher Sun had mistakenly obtained, trying to find out X's true purpose.

After some brainstorming, a new direction gradually became clear.

If X's purpose is to divert attention, then the actual flow of funds is likely to be completely opposite to the direction previously investigated...

Wu Xinyan immediately arranged personnel to conduct an investigation in a new direction.

At the same time, a timid employee Li sneaked into Manager Zhou's office with a panicked look: "Manager Zhou, it's bad, Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan seem to have discovered something..." Manager Zhou stood up suddenly, his face gloomy: "What did they discover?" Employee Li stammered in response: "I... I'm not sure, but I saw them..." Manager Zhou grabbed Employee Li by the collar and asked sternly: "Hurry up and tell me!" Employee Li trembled and told the story of Wu Xinyan calling a meeting of analysts in a halting manner. She also exaggerated Wu Xinyan's serious expression, as if she had already grasped all the truth.

After hearing this, Manager Zhou's face turned pale and he slammed his fist on the table: "Damn it! I didn't expect Wu Xinyan to be so difficult!"

He was pacing back and forth, restless.

Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan's relentless pressure made him feel unprecedented pressure.

He originally thought that spreading rumors would bring the Luo Group to its knees, but he didn't expect Luo Yichen to be so calm and collected. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and got closer to the truth step by step.

To make matters worse, due to previous rumors, some partners of Roche Group began to hesitate whether to continue cooperation, and its business was hit again.

Luo Yichen's pressure doubled, but he did not lose his composure.

He knew very well that only by stabilizing the morale of the army could he turn the tide.

Luo Yichen personally took action to negotiate with those wavering partners.

He produced evidence that a mysterious force had framed the Roche Group and elaborated on the company's future development plans.

His calm demeanor, wise analysis and confidence in the future infected everyone present.

Most partners were impressed and decided to continue cooperating with Roche Group.

Manager Zhou's conspiracy failed again. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he could do nothing about it.

Luo Yichen returned to the office and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.

Wu Xinyan made a cup of coffee for him and handed it to him: "Thank you for your hard work." Luo Yichen took the coffee, held Wu Xinyan's hand, feeling the warmth of her palm, and his fatigue immediately dissipated a lot.

"We are getting closer to the truth." Wu Xinyan said in a firm tone, her eyes sharp.

Luo Yichen nodded, a gleam of light flashing in his deep eyes: "I feel it too."

At this time, Analyst Zhao knocked on the door and came in with a serious expression: "Mr. Luo, Mr. Wu, I have some new discoveries..." He paused, wanting to say something but stopped.

Analyst Zhao took a deep breath and handed the documents to Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan. "We tracked the overseas fund flows of 'Huanyu' and found that these funds ultimately flowed into several different accounts. Through layers of disguise, it is difficult to trace the ultimate beneficiary. But..." He paused, his tone becoming serious. "We found a key figure, codenamed Y. He is a mid-level manager of the international consortium 'Jiushi'. All the flows of funds are inextricably linked to him. We have reason to suspect that he is the liaison between the mysterious forces and the 'Jiushi' consortium."

Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen looked at each other and saw shock and a hint of excitement in each other's eyes.

Finally, they found a breakthrough!

Luo Yichen gently held Wu Xinyan's hand and gave her strength.

Wu Xinyan held his hand back, feeling the warmth and firmness in his palm, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

Even if the road ahead is full of thorns, as long as they move forward hand in hand, nothing can stop them.

"Immediately arrange personnel to keep a close eye on Y's every move and make sure to find him!" Luo Yichen spoke decisively, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

Analyst Zhao took the order and took quick action.

However, fate always seems to like to play jokes on them.

Just as they were about to contact Y to obtain further intelligence, a sudden piece of news disrupted all their plans.

Analyst Zhao hurried into the office again, his face pale and his voice trembling: "Mr. Luo, Mr. Wu, Y...Y is missing!"

"What?!" Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen exclaimed at the same time, and a chill instantly enveloped the entire office.

"Our people have lost track of Y. His residence is empty and his cell phone is turned off. According to local police, suspicious bloodstains were found at the door of Y's apartment..." Analyst Zhao's tone became increasingly low, as if he had a premonition of something terrible.

Luo Yichen's face was terribly gloomy. He stood up suddenly, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the bustling city outside the window, but his eyes were as cold as a knife.

Wu Xinyan walked to his side, gently held his hand, and silently gave him support.

"It seems that someone is one step ahead of us." Luo Yichen said in a low voice, with a hint of barely perceptible anger.

Wu Xinyan's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.

Y’s disappearance is by no means accidental.

They touched upon the core secret, and the mysterious forces began to take desperate measures...

A rapid phone ring broke the silence in the office.

Luo Yichen answered the phone, his face suddenly changed: "What did you say?!" He hung up the phone, turned around and looked at Wu Xinyan, his eyes full of disbelief and worry, "Xinyan, the hospital..."
