Chapter 1302: 1302
Wen Xinya still remembered the look of pain and agony on Zhou Tianyu’s face when she mentioned about Gu Junling .
After eliminating all the possibilities, Wen Xinya felt that Zhou Tianyu’s family was most likely to be the reason .
Wen Xinya decided to check up on it .
However, she wouldn’t let Celestial Detective Agency carry out the investigation on the wealthy and powerful Zhou Family, for the matter was extremely serious and she could not afford to let any clues leak . If she were to cause any misunderstanding, it would be hard for her to explain herself to Zhou Tianyu .
After giving it some consideration, she decided to hand the matter over to Si Yiyan .
It would be best to let Si Yiyan do the investigation since he had a wide network of connections and plenty of resources . He would be able to get insider information easily . Although it would require some effort to check upon the Zhou Family, she reckoned that there wouldn’t be too much of a problem .
At the same time, Wen Xinya had also warned Xu Tongxuan not to act recklessly, for the Xu Family held a powerful position in the National Security Bureau which had a complicated structure . If they were to get involved with the National Security Bureau, things would become messy and much more difficult to handle . If Xu Tongxuan were to meddle with the investigation, the Zhou Family might just fall out with the Xu Family and trouble would entail .
Of course, Xu Tongxuan was not a fool, even though she was extremely worried about Zhou Tianyu . She felt much more at ease after knowing that Wen Xinya would handle the matter .
Wen Xinya felt rather relieved after getting the matter sorted out .
She felt like she was their mother, for she had to constantly worry about them .
Even though Wen Xinya decided to let Si Yiyan investigate on the Zhou Family instead, Wen Xinya was still in close cooperation with Celestial Detective Agency because she had engaged them to investigate on Xia Ruya .
“Not long ago, Xia Ruya got into a car accident and Old Mr . Li almost lost his granddaughter . Hence, he flew into a rage and began secretly investigating on this matter while strengthening his power in the Li Corporation . At last, he made one of the shareholders the scapegoat of Xia Ruya’s accident which he used to control the shareholders . ”
The fact that one of the shareholders was made the scapegoat, meant that there were more to Xia Ruya’s accident than met the eye . “How are Xia Ruya’s wounds?”
Wen Xinya had already guessed something .
After hearing her words, the person on the other end of the line laughed, for he found it to be rather interesting . “Xia Ruya got into an accident but miraculously, she only sustained abrasions . However… I heard that she had also suffered some hemorrhages in her head which put her life in critical danger . She was in a coma for half a month . ”
Wen Xinya smirked coldly and thought to herself, Xia Ruya actually used her life as a gamble . “What is the outcome of your investigation?”
Three years ago, Xia Ruya returned to Harbor City and just like everyone had expected, the stock prices of the Li Corporation plunged tremendously because of her scandal, thus causing the Li Corporation’s interests and reputation to be damaged . The shareholders had also requested for Xia Ruya to be stripped of her position as the successor .
Old Mr . Li could not control the shareholders at all . Later on, Xia Ruya swallowed her pride and played the sympathy card by letting Old Mr . Li know that she would sacrifice herself . She then initiated to step down from her position as successor .
At last, she managed to earn the trust and sympathy of Old Mr . Li, who grew even more displeased with the shareholders .
Meanwhile, the shareholders wouldn’t dare to harm her brazenly now that she had temporarily given up her position as the successor of the Li Corporation . She chose to major in fashion design in Harbor City University, and even managed to earn the approval of Old Mr . Li because of her talent in fashion design .

“The truth about the car accident is unclear, but according to the evidence that we have collected, we won’t rule out the possibility that it has been premeditated . We couldn’t collect more evidence because all of it was destroyed by the mastermind . They’re too sly . ” Actually, the staff at Celestial Detective Agency were actually smart and would never fail in their investigations . However, they were defeated by Xia Ruya again and again .
Wen Xinya nodded . Actually, she had guessed the same . After all, she knew Xia Ruya too well and was well aware that Xia Ruya was best at devising such schemes . “Have you found out anything else?”
Xia Ruya was way too intelligent and was also aware of the cruelty of the power struggle in Capital City . Hence, she decided to play the sympathy card and win Old Mr . Li over, before acting appropriately so that the shareholders wouldn’t make life difficult for her . She had to keep herself alive in order to make further plans .
“Xia Ruya has already become the head fashion designer of the Li Corporation not long ago and she even got to set up her own brand ‘Pinru’ which is under the Li Corporation . Her brand is targeted at demure ladies, and she also managed to clinch the sponsorship for various listers of the Harbor City entertainment industry . Hence, the brand is doing rather well currently . ”
Wen Xinya took her hat’s off to Xia Ruya for making such a huge comeback, and also took sympathy on Old Mr . Li as well as the other shareholders, for they had been fooled by Xia Ruya without even realizing it .
She wanted to deal with Xia Ruya . Yet, the latter managed to escape and even became stronger by earning the support of Old Mr . Li and becoming the head designer . Xia Ruya now had a strong position in the Li Corporation… would the title of the successor of the Li Family even matter to her?
Xia Ruya is an absolute ingrate!

“Xia Ruya managed to blend in with the upper-class society because of her connections to a few famous celebrities of Harbor City . She even managed to join the prestigious aristocratic circle and is now a renowned socialite in Harbor City . ”
The prestigious Liqun Club was akin to China’s Zhishan Club, though the structure and purposes were different . Liqun Club was extremely influential and they would provide services for the members of the upper-class society . Those who could join the club would be able to have a place in the upper-class society .
Rather taken aback, Wen Xinya asked, “Is there another reason for Xia Ruya’s rapid progress?”
She was certain that Xia Ruya alone would not be able to control the Li Corporation, secure her position and join the Liqun Club .
Although Wen Xinya was not in Harbor City, she had still pulled some of her connections in order to give Xia Ruya a hard time and create some obstacles for her in Harbor City .
After some hesitation, the man answered, “I think Xia Ruya definitely has someone to support her . It should be the same bunch of people who had helped her cross the border illegally and escape Capital City back then . However, we haven’t been able to find any clues . ”
