Chapter 1174: The Truth Behind Mother’s Death

Wen Xinya did not expect to find out about the Korean-Chinese Alliance. That meant that it would be impossible for her to deal with them at this point, given her current abilities.

However, she asked apprehensively, “Since they’re such a massive and powerful organization, it’d be a piece of cake for them to deal with the Wen Corporation. Why do they have to go to the extent of plotting against us?”

Although Si Yiyan had told her some stuff about the organization, it was all just superficial and basic information. Hence, she did not know much about them and had way too many questions.

Since she knew that they were the mastermind, she had to get a clear understanding of the situation.

Si Yiyan said, “Xinya, you’re wrong. They’re not trying to deal with the Wen Corporation. Instead, they’re trying to acquire it. Maybe you’ll understand what I mean if I put it this way. They’re trying to make the Wen Corporation their puppet and a part of their organization, which they can use to perform illegal activities like money laundering. Since the Wen Corporation is very useful to them, they definitely wouldn’t put the Wen Corporation at a disadvantage. Secondly, their most important trick is to be mysterious and secretive. If they were to act high profile, they would reveal their identity easily and let the cat out of the bag, which they definitely can’t allow.”

Their conscientiousness and mysteriousness was the reason they could still do well and roam around the upper-class society.

“The Wen Corporation may be one of the biggest enterprises in Capital city, but there are other corporations that are larger than the Wen Corporation. Why did they choose us?” asked Wen Xinya, who finally understood what was going on. It turns out they were being secretive simply because that was their only option.

Si Yiyan knew that she was still full of questions and doubts. He explained, “It’s because the Wen Corporation has a clean background and is known for running a decent business that is not related to the military, politics, or triads. Besides, the Wen Corporation had been running their businesses ethically in the past decades and hence, is a good option for them. By using the Wen Corporation, they wouldn’t arouse too much suspicion and that would aid them in continuing to be secretive.”

Si Yiyan knew quite a bit about the alliance and hence, was familiar with the tactics they used. Thus, he understood their motives soon enough.

With a glum expression, Wen Xinya hesitated for a moment before asking, “Does the Korean-Chinese Alliance have something to do with my mother’s death?”

The alliance only came to light recently, but her mother had already died for close to 18 years. Back then, she and Si Yiyan both suspected that there was a darker truth behind her mother’s death. Now... she could not help but waver a little.

Si Yiyan said, “Xinya, don’t perceive the alliance too simplistically. Clearly, they had already set their sights on the Wen Corporation even before your mother’s death. Back then, the Wen Corporation had yet to prosper and was not of much value to them. However, that doesn’t mean that they didn’t necessarily predict the Wen Corporation’s potential to develop rapidly. In fact, they might have contributed to the Wen Corporation’s rapid growth and success.”

The alliance was an organization and not a single person or a mere company. They were best at managing and planning their criminal activities carefully and success would be impossible without careful consideration and planning. To them, they saw great potential in the Wen Corporation and felt that they could use it to their own benefit. Throughout the growth of the Wen Corporation, they were not just waiting blindly. Instead, they were conducting other illegal activities while waiting for the chance to harvest the fruit of their labor.

Although their plants might not come to fruition immediately, they just had to wait for the new fruit tree to ripen.

The thought of her mother made Wen Xinya extremely agitated. “My mother was just a normal woman who didn’t get in their way. Why did they have to kill her?”

Her mother’s premature death made her feel emotional and riled up.

Holding her in his arms empathetically, Si Yiyan said, “A talented and intelligent woman like your mother is truly to be feared. As long as she’s present, it would be difficult for them to plot against the Wen Corporation. Besides... your mother has your Grampy to support her. He is a great influence and many fear him. They decided to get rid of your mother, make you go missing and... cut off ties between the Mo Family and Wen Family completely. Only then, could they act brazenly without fear.”

Old Mr. Mo had a powerful influence over the nations and he had the power to put them in crisis and the danger of being exposed if he were to find out any clues about them.

After all, Old Mr. Mo had a wide network of connections.

The conspiracy began 18 years ago, or perhaps even before that.

That turned out to be the truth behind her missing. Wen Xinya tried her best to suppress her anger before saying, “So, Ning Shuqian managed to seduce Wen Haowen and marry into the Wen Family, partly because of them?’

She had always found it strange that the arrogant Wen Haowen would marry a woman like Ning Shuqian who came from a dubious background and even had a daughter out of wedlock. Wen Haowen even married her despite the shame and disgrace that she brought him.

It turns out, it was all because of the alliance.

Si Yiyan nodded and said, “I’m afraid that’s very likely to be the case.”

Given how heartless Wen Haowen was to his own wife, how could he be genuine towards Ning Shuqian? His marriage to Ning Shuqian seemed rather suspicious in retrospect, and that was the only reasonable explanation.

A fire seemed to have formed in Wen Xinya’s heart that burned her rationality away, so much that she felt suffocated. “These people really deserve to die. They actually resorted to despicable means to attain their goals. Mother... I can’t tolerate this...”

Wen Xinya turned red in fury as her breathing became quick and heavy.

If it weren’t because of Si Yiyan, she would have never expected there to be such a terrifying conspiracy behind her mother’s death.

For the past two decades or so, the Wen Family turned out to have been living under the surveillance of the alliance. It was way too scary and hair-raising.
