Chapter 1829: Anyway, There Is Still the Chairman
Wen Haowen was utterly shocked at the Wen Corporation’s entertainment city project being involved in money laundering.
Wen Haowen might be stupid, but he was a very suspicious man. Anyway, he had been in business for so long that he would have developed some sense for the game. So he instantly thought of Zhang Corporation, whom they had borrowed money from several times before.
At that time, he thought the Zhang Corporation was lending them money out of respect for Ning Shuqian, as well as to support the entertainment city project. Hence, he didn’t think too much of it.
But now that he pondered the matter again, things didn’t appear as simple. The Zhang Corporation had lent him hundreds of millions of yuan without any qualms. Which company would be so generous? No one would believe that there was nothing untoward about it.
At that point, he had trusted Ning Shuqian and allowed her to handle all the finances regarding the entertainment city project. It must be that bitch’s secret ploy to frame him!
Wen Haowen fell into a deep gloom as he thought about it.
Previously, he had insisted on maintaining complete control over the entertainment city project so that he could make use of it to take over the Wen Corporation. He had steadfastly refused to let Old Mr. Wen interfere with the project and handled everything on his own.
Now, there was no way he could avoid blame from the money laundering matter.
He might even end up going to jail.
Wen Haowen spent the whole day in anxious jitters. He inquired about the progress of the case and found out that it was extremely complicated as the sums involved were tremendous. The authorities were still in the process of gathering evidence.
He knew it was just a matter of time before the investigation led to him.
Wen Haowen was considering if he could escape overseas with some money. But he realized that he had no connections or safe haven abroad. Even if he managed to escape, he would end up being repatriated.
Should he first find a place to hide, then?
“CEO Wen, are you so distracted because I am not servicing you well enough?”
The woman’s coquettish voice was sweet and alluring. Her youthful, supple body nuzzled against Wen Haowen, as her soft, delicate hands roamed all over his body.
“Get lost! Stop bothering me!”
Wen Haowen was so troubled that he was not the least bit interested in sex now. Even though this exquisite creature was a woman whom he had been recently obsessed with.
The woman became even more coquettish. She pouted as she started stroking his chest. “CEO Wen, you are worried about being implicated in the Wen Corporation’s money laundering issue, right?”
Wen Haowen’s face instantly flushed with anger. But come to think of it, the Wen Corporation’s money laundering scandal had caused such an uproar that it was natural for her to link it to his bad mood.
The woman smiled charmingly. “Actually, there’s nothing for you to worry about. Although you are the company’s CEO, there is still the Chairman on top.”
Her eyes glittered meaningfully as she said this.
Wen Haowen was foolish but very good at avoiding harm to himself and shirking responsibility. The woman’s words gave him instant inspiration.
That’s right! The Wen Corporation had always been under that old man’s control.
He had no idea the entertainment city project was involved in money laundering. He was innocent.
Even if he was implicated, as long as he kept denying any knowledge of anything, that he had only acted according to that old man’s orders, the police could do nothing to him.
That old man was the Wen Corporation’s Chairman. It was natural that he should take responsibility if anything happened to the company.
Even if there was a need to go to jail, it would also be that old man’s problem. It had nothing to do with him.
Wen Haowen snapped out of his trance and pressed the woman onto the couch. “Little vixen, you have made daddy very happy today. Let’s have a good time...”
***
However, Wen Haowen was completely exhausted after just a while. He laid back in bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The woman laying beside him sat up and kicked at him disdainfully. Wen Haowen was over 50 years old and his body had already been desecrated by drink and prostitution. He was no longer any good in bed. If not for his wealth and willingness to spend it, would she go to bed with him?
The woman threw on a set of clothes and left the private room, before turning and entering another room.
The room was dark and one could vaguely make out the silhouette of an elegant lady sitting on the couch inside.
That lady was Xia Ruya.
“I have already done what you wanted me to do.” The woman walked over meekly, her voice full of subservience.
This was the lady who had told her what to say to Wen Haowen earlier.
She could get a million yuan if she accomplished her task.
A million bucks just for a few sentences. She couldn’t be happier.
Xia Ruya had watched everything that had happened in that private room earlier via the surveillance cameras. She was very pleased with the woman’s performance. “You did very well. The money will be transferred to your account within 12 hours.”
The investigation into the entertainment city project money laundering matter would catch up with Wen Haowen sooner or later.
Wen Haowen was such a coward that he would definitely be scared witless. She knew he was a lecherous man and so especially found a lovely woman to seduce him.
She had this woman suggest to Wen Haowen that he should push all blame onto Old Mr. Wen, and it was obvious he had heeded that advice.
She had not missed the flash of vehemence and relief on Wen Haowen’s face as she spied on them. Following that, everything would progress as planned.
The woman was naturally overjoyed and gushed gratefully to Xia Ruya. “You are really a living goddess of mercy. Feel free to call me again next time you have anything you need me to do.”
The woman glowed with happiness.
The shadows in the dark room kept Xia Ruya’s face hidden. She said meaningfully, “There won’t be a next time!”
As gentle as Xia Ruya’s voice was, there was something twisted about it. She sounded as if the woman before her was as good as dead.
The woman was somewhat disappointed and didn’t detect anything strange about Xia Ruya’s tone.
Xia Ruya left the private room and a black-clad bodyguard came out of the shadows. He followed her without a word.
“Get rid of her.” Xia Ruya instructed coldly.
She no longer had any use for that woman. Although she didn’t know much, she was already linked to Wen Haowen. The moment the police started investigating Wen Haowen for the money laundering, they would also definitely check into her.
For precaution’s sake, there was no need for her to live anymore.
Anyway, the death of a club hostess would not draw anyone’s attention. Even the club itself would hide this incident from the police for fear of exposing their illegal sex trade.
