Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 1607: Xia Ruya Has Returned to Capital City!

During this period, although Wen Xinya was focused on the battle with T-K Group, she had also been closely monitoring Ning Shuqian and Xia Ruya’s actions.

She was fearful of T-K Group as one was fearful of a pack of ferocious wolves.

Meanwhile, Xia Ruya—who had been in hiding for a year because her disfigurement from the car crash—was like a venomous snake concealed within a dark cave, constantly eyeing Wen Xinya and ever-ready to deal her a lethal strike. Wen Xinya had to be highly vigilant at all times.

Especially now that it was confirmed Xia Ruya was part of the Korean-Chinese Alliance—all the more she had to be on her guard.

“Xia Ruya has been untraceable since she left that private hospital after her car crash. Over the past year, we have been trying to track her down, but every time we got a breakthrough, the lead would end up being cut off. I suspect someone has been intentionally disrupting our pursuit.”

Celestial Detective Agency had been doing work for Wen Xinya for the past eight years. They were extremely diligent in all her cases and would put in their best efforts for all her requests.

After so many years, Wen Xinya had become one of Celestial Detective Agency’s biggest customers. She was already a five-star client and enjoyed their best services.

This conclusion was within Wen Xinya’s expectations. “Continue to track Xia Ruya down!”

She knew Celestial Detective Agency would never be able to dig up anything on Xia Ruya’s whereabouts. She had only asked them to continue doing so just to create a diversion. Secretly, she also had Liu Yanhua activate Si Yiyan’s network and connections to perform a separate investigation.

She already knew that it was the Korean-Chinese Alliance who had arranged for Xia Ruya to go to Country M for plastic surgery. However, she did not dare to probe too much for fear of giving herself away. As a result, she had placed limits on the investigation and news didn’t arrive as quickly as before.

“Previously, we tried to poke around that private hospital to find something connected to Xia Ruya’s whereabouts. We discovered that her records in that hospital were just blank pages. Thereafter, when we continued probing deeper, her records suddenly reappeared—and it was all about her sustaining just normal injuries.”

Her records had been completely blank previously.

By the time they probed further, her medical records suddenly reappeared!

It was obvious that someone had intentionally doctored the records.

It meant that the agency’s surveillance had been uncovered. The counter-party already knew that someone was watching them.

That discovery shocked the agency!

They had been tracking Xia Ruya for the past eight years, and their grasp of her situation had become weaker and weaker as time went by. Meanwhile, Xia Ruya had become increasingly secretive and they could feel there was someone very powerful controlling everything from behind the scenes.

Wen Xinya didn’t comment on that. Instead, she asked, “How is the situation with Harbor City’s Li Family?”

The Korean-Chinese Alliance had completely hushed up news of Xia Ruya’s disfigurement from the car crash. No one was aware of her disfigurement. All everyone could be sure of was that she had been in an accident, but no one knew the extent of her injuries.

As long as the hospital no longer possessed Xia Ruya’s medical records, no one would know of her disfigurement. Even if the matter was exposed by someone, as long as Xia Ruya steadfastly denied it, no one would be able to make their accusation stick.

“Over the past year, Harbor City’s Li Family has already gained complete control over the Li Corporation. They have absolute power within the corporation. Even the shareholders are all blind followers of the Li Family. Meanwhile, Xia Ruya has rather high authority inside the Li Corporation.”

They had been tracking Harbor City’s Li Family for more than four years. They had planted a spy within the family the moment it was revealed that Xia Ruya was related to the Li Family. As a result, they had a better grasp of the situation there.

They felt there was something fishy with regards to the recent changes shown by Harbor City’s Li Family.

Wen Xinya continued asking, “How are things with Li Corporation’s inner circle?”

Harbor City’s Li Family had fallen completely into the Korean-Chinese Alliance’s hands and was now just a puppet being manipulated by them.

It was like how the Korean-Chinese Alliance was making use of Ning Shuqian to influence Wen Haowen and take control of the Wen Corporation.

The Korean-Chinese Alliance was doing the same thing to the Li Family. They were making use of Xia Ruya to ensnare Old Mr. Li and gain control of the Li Corporation.

At this point, Old Mr. Li was still gleefully smug over the fact that they had completely taken over the Li Corporation.

Little did he realize that he had opened the doors to a wolf, personally giving a predator the Li Family’s hundred-year legacy.

Old Mr. Li had been so astute all his life. But a moment of folly had him duped by his own so-called blood ties.

It was truly ridiculous!

“The Li Corporation has been moving their finances quite a bit over the past year. Most recently, they transferred a large amount of funds. The counter-party is very devious and had the funds transferred to several intermediaries in between. We are still trying to sort out where the funds eventually ended up, but we guess it is most likely within China.”

Few people knew that the Celestial Detective Agency’s main camp was in Harbor City. Their connections ran deep within the city, and not many people were aware of them.

The opponent thought they could shake off their tail just by switching tracks midway, but didn’t know the agency could still track them by leveraging on their deep connections within Harbor City.

Wen Xinya’s expression underwent a major shift. A sense of foreboding rose in her heart. “Immediately check all the major airlines and passenger ships. I suspect Xia Ruya has already returned to the country. In addition, investigate every business that the Li Family has in China and see if there is anything going on there.”

The Li Family had all along been doing business in China, and the business was progressing rather smoothly.

On her return to Capital city a year ago, Xia Ruya discovered the Li Family had some businesses in China. She had subsequently carried out a relatively major overhaul in that area.

For over a year, Wen Xinya had been closely monitoring the Li Family’s development in China, but her attention had been diverted by T-K Group recently. She had slackened her watch over the Li Family as they didn’t present any abnormalities.

She forgot that the Korean-Chinese Alliance was behind Xia Ruya, and so there would definitely be something nefarious going on with the Li Family’s development in China. It was just that her opponent had been careful to avoid her detection.

Xia Ruya must have been the one who initiated the transfer of those funds into China. Did this mean Xia Ruya had already returned to the country?

“Alright, I got it. As for Ning Shuqian...”

Wen Xinya’s eyes darkened and a harsh light flashed passed. “Let’s not bother about Ning Shuqian for the moment. Just keep an eye on her. I have my own plans for her.”

Ning Shuqian’s situation had more or less been settled. Evil people would have their own just desserts. Wen Xinya was in no hurry to deal with Ning Shuqian. She wanted her to slowly suffer her current agony. By the time Wen Xinya made her move, Ning Shuqian would be doomed beyond redemption.

She would never let off all those who harmed her Grampy.
