Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 1937 - Mr. Z Wants To Kill Off All Witnesses?

The investigations into Chu Jingnan’s misappropriating company funds were still ongoing. As the case’s main suspect, Chu Jingnan was being temporarily detained by the police, and all his financial assets had been suspended.

This was clearly the revenge brought down by the Xiao Family and the Lin Family for Xiao Chengyu’s death. They had schemed to take their revenge against Chu Jingnan. Not only did they want to destroy his future and reputation, but they also wanted him to sit in jail in penance for his crime.

Now that things had reached this stage, there was no way Chu Jingnan would be able to draw himself out from this case.

Xia Ruya previously held a grudge against Chu Jingnan for being a heartless and selfish jerk who had planned to ditch her and escape to Country M alone. But now she no longer wished to have anything to do with him.

On the very day that the police took Chu Jingnan away.

Xia Ruya had secretly destroyed everything that linked her to him.

As far as she knew, the amount of funds which Chu Jingnan allegedly misused was extremely large, and even if he poured in all his own financial assets, it would not be enough to compensate the amount. This was such a major case that the consequences of being implicated would be dire. As Chu Jingnan’s girlfriend, she had made use of the Li Corporation to support Chu Jingnan, and there was a high chance she would be implicated.

Xia Ruya pondered over this matter long and hard before deciding to return to Harbor City.

Now that she had lost all her leverage and support, if Wen Xinya wished to go against her, it would be as easy as squashing an ant.

Returning to Harbor City was her only way out.

Although Li Corporation was a lost cause, the Li Family had multiple other businesses and was still widely respected. She would have to rely on the Li Family if she wished to make a comeback. She could not afford to lose her status as the Li Family’s Young Mistress.

Grandpa refused to take her calls or reply to her messages. It was obvious that he wished to cut all ties with her. In that case, she would have to personally return to Harbor City and beg Grandpa to forgive her. She was still the Li Family’s only descendant and Grandpa would surely not be so heartless with his very own grandchild. She was confident of regaining Grandpa’s forgiveness and trust.

After making her decision, Xia Ruya booked a plane ticket to Harbor City for tomorrow and started packing up her things.

"Knock knock..." Someone was knocking on the door.

Xia Ruya felt it was rather strange. Being the cunning person that she was, she had several hideaways and she was currently at a secret villa on the outskirts of Capital city. Even Chu Jingnan didn’t know of this place. As a precaution against Wen Xinya and after Chu Jingnan was arrested, she had secretly moved into this villa. How could there be anyone knocking on the door seeking her?

Could it be the police?

Xia Ruya went over to the door and looked through the peephole to see a man wearing a dark blue jacket and a peaked cap. He was looking down and rifling through a toolbox, such that she couldn’t see his face clearly. He was obviously with the police.

The lock clicked open and the door was pushed open. Xia Ruya was just about to ask him what was going on when the man suddenly looked up.

His face was pale and haggard, but his features were so sharp and distinct that they were deeply imprinted into Xia Ruya’s eyes. Her heart shuddered. This face was too exceptional. His blue-gray eyes were cold as ice. In her entire life, only Ninth Si’s eyes were comparable to its depths.

"You are..."

Xia Ruya’s heart raced. Before she could react, he was already grasping at her throat. He pressed a pair of sharp forceps right at the main vein of her neck.

"Let me warn you, you better not make any false moves." The man warned in a chilly voice that was thick with murderous intent. Nevertheless, it was obvious that his breathing was weak and labored.

The man pushed Xia Ruya into the house while still holding onto her.

The door was shut with a click and Xia Ruya’s heart sank. This villa was situated in a remote area and there were not many other residents around. In addition, each villa was situated quite far away from each other. Xia Ruya’s only hope at being rescued was lost the moment the front door closed.

Xia Ruya’s body suddenly stiffened as she broke out in cold sweat. She asked in a trembling voice, "You... who are you? Why... why are you kidnapping me..."

She was no fool.

All these years, she had been interacting quite a bit with Mr. Z’s men. Just one look told her that this man was the type of person who was used to seeing death. That he was used to having his hands drenched in blood and that he viewed human life as insignificant.

This type of person was cold and merciless, vicious beyond the bounds of normalcy. There was no way she would be able to escape.

The man whispered by her ear, his voice as cold as ice. "You can call me Mr. Z."

This person was Wei Che, the man who had escaped to Country Z from Russia.

Country Z was the Alliance’s stronghold in the Asia-Pacific region. He thought that he would be free if he could just escape to Country Z, but he was wrong. In reality, he was being tracked the moment he entered the country. He had been trying to evade Country Z’s military, as well as Lucifer’s men here. He realized that Country Z was just one giant net waiting to close in on him.

Not only had Lucifer developed major power here in Country Z, but they were also even collaborating with the military. In Country Z, the Alliance had already become like a turtle trapped in a jar, and their power here would soon be completely wiped out.

The cowardly, sniffling crybaby from his memory had been transformed into a truly formidable and omnipotent being following the death of his parents.

He was even more mighty than he imagined.

He had taken over Lucifer for only about 20 years and had already gotten rid of their power in Italy, Russia, and several major oil-rich countries in the Middle East. Now, he was even going to eliminate their influence in Country Z.

The Korean-Chinese Alliance’s foundation was in the Asia-Pacific and Eastern European regions. Over half of their forces had already been destroyed by his hands.

The remaining forces were scattered and unable to come together.

"So it’s you!" Xia Ruya’s body went cold. "You... what do you want?"

She didn’t doubt this man’s words at all. She had communicated with Mr. Z over so many years. Although she had never seen his true face, she was well aware of just how terrifying this man was.

During that first phone call, she felt like a huge, formless palm had reached through the phone and crushed her heart to bits.

She couldn’t help thinking of the dead Yang Ziyu. The bloody scene made her tremble all over.

She then thought about Ning Shuqian. Her pulverized body was deeply imprinted in her mind, and that image made her quiver in fear.

Why had Mr. Z come looking for her?

Was he going to kill her to get rid of all witnesses?

She knew that Mr. Z and his group were a shady organization. She was deeply involved and knew quite a lot about their ongoings. Would Mr. Z tolerate her existence?

Previously, hadn’t Ning Shuqian lost her life because of the need to keep her lips sealed?
