It Started With a Kiss: Leng Shao's Beloved Wife

Chapter 197: Defeating the Enemy Overseas: The Conspiracy Failed

Broken glass fragments were scattered all over the ground, just like Luo Yichen's shattered mood at the moment.

Wu Xinyan's heart sank suddenly. The storm she had anticipated had finally arrived.

"Black Snake..." Luo Yichen muttered to himself. The name seemed to carry a chilling aura that instantly froze the air around him.

"It seems that the Wu family is determined to kill us this time."

Wu Xinyan held Luo Yichen's hand and said firmly, "Don't be afraid, we will face it together."

However, the development of the situation was far more dangerous than they imagined.

The next day, various negative news began to spread in the business circle, directly pointing the finger at the Luo Group and the overseas expansion projects that Wu Xinyan was in charge of.

"Luo Che Group is suspected of commercial fraud!"

"Wu Xinyan embezzled public funds and enriched herself!"

These rumors spread as quickly as a virus, and some companies that had already reached cooperation intentions expressed their intention to reconsider or even directly suspended the cooperation.

At the same time, problems also arose in Roche's overseas supply chain.

The supply of some key raw materials was inexplicably cut off, and factory production came to a standstill.

David hurried over to report, "Mr. Luo, Mr. Wu, this is terrible! Our supplier of raw materials has suddenly stopped supplying us, saying we're in arrears!"

"Payment in arrears? That's sheer nonsense!" Wu Xinyan was furious. "We've always paid on time, how could we possibly be in arrears?"

Amy added: "I have contacted the supplier but they have been adamant and refused to offer any explanation."

Luo Yichen calmly analyzed the situation. "It seems someone is behind this, deliberately sabotaging our supply chain." He looked at Wu Xinyan, his eyes filled with worry. "Xinyan, you need to be extra careful lately. I'm worried the Wu family will take even more drastic action against you."

When Jack learned of Luo's plight, he immediately called to express his sympathy: "Luo, what happened? Do you need my help?"

"Thank you, Jack," Luo Yichen said solemnly, "The situation is quite complicated right now. I suspect the Wu family is colluding with an organization called 'Black Snake' and is deliberately targeting us."

Jack's expression grew serious after hearing this. "'Black Snake'? I've heard of this organization. They act in secret and are ruthless. You must be careful!"

Just as Luo Yichen was talking to Jack, Lucy also called.

She said in a serious tone: "Mr. Luo, I just received a report that your company has some illegal operations. We need to investigate you."

Luo Yichen's heart sank. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "Ms. Lucy, our company has always abided by the law. We welcome your investigation. I believe that the truth will eventually come to light."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Yichen looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, and an unprecedented pressure surged in his heart.

He knew that the battle had just begun...

Tom's lips curled up into a sinister smile, and he said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Everything is going according to plan. Next..." He paused, with a hint of ruthlessness in his tone, "...it's time to give them a fatal blow."

Tom's trick succeeded, and Lucy brought a team of investigators into Roche's overseas branch.

Although Lucy is fair and rigorous, she has to take the mountains of "evidence" seriously.

Tom exaggerated the situation, portraying Luo's as a nefarious enterprise and Wu Xinyan as a greedy and vicious woman.

During the investigation, Roche's business almost came to a standstill, and its partners avoided it for fear of being dragged into the vortex.

Wu Xinyan, David and others fully cooperated with the investigation, but found that the so-called "evidence" was interconnected, making it difficult for them to refute.

At the same time, Luo Yichen did not sit idly by.

He secretly investigated the background of "Black Snake" and found that the organization was complex and powerful, and even colluded with some local officials.

He realized that a head-on confrontation would only result in mutual destruction, so he took another approach. Through his complex network of contacts, he finally found several fatal weaknesses of the "Black Snake", some of which actually involved the core interests of the Wu family.

He secretly passed this information to the Wu family, with a sentence attached: "If you continue, you will die."

When the Wu family received the news, there was an uproar inside.

They originally thought that they could use the power of the "Black Snake" to completely defeat Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan, but they didn't expect that the other party actually grasped their lifeline.

At the family meeting, quarrels broke out one after another.

Some radicals advocated continuing cooperation and going all out; while some conservatives believed that losses should be cut in time to avoid greater losses.

Just as the Wu family was arguing internally, Tom took action again.

He bribed an employee of Luo's and forged a key financial statement in an attempt to completely nail Wu Xinyan.

He proudly handed the "evidence" to Lucy and said, "Ms. Lucy, I think this is enough to prove Luo's guilt." Lucy took the document, read it carefully, and frowned.

Just then, Luo Yichen appeared.

He took out a recording that clearly recorded the process of Tom bribing his employees.

Tom's face turned pale instantly and his eyes were filled with horror.

Luo Yichen looked at him calmly and said word by word, "Mr. Tom, the game is over." Before Tom could react, Luo Yichen turned to look at Lucy and said, "Ms. Lucy, I think the real criminal has surfaced."

Far away in China, the head of the Wu family looked at the documents in his hand, his face livid. He slammed the documents on the table and said through gritted teeth, "Luo Yichen..."

The head of the Wu family finally made the decision to take drastic measures.

Rather than both sides suffering losses, it is better to preserve strength.

He immediately contacted the "Black Snake" organization, cut off cooperation with them, and ordered all members of the Wu family not to target Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen anymore.

Tom was struck by lightning when the news came.

Having lost the support of the Wu family, he was like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, no longer having the capital to be arrogant.

He was in a constant state of panic, fearing that Luo Yichen would take revenge on him.

After the crisis was resolved, Wu Xinyan immediately set about restoring Roche's overseas business.

She acted decisively and quickly reintegrated the supply chain, and the factory machines roared again.

Jack also lent a helping hand, using his connections and resources to help Roche clarify the company's image. Companies that had previously suspended cooperation resumed cooperation, and even new companies took the initiative to come forward for negotiations.

Roche Group's overseas business was not only not affected, but instead grew against the trend and created new glory.

Just when Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen thought that everything was settled and they could breathe a sigh of relief, an unexpected person appeared.

A ragged, haggard middle-aged man found Wu Xinyan, claiming that he was Wu Xinyan's long-lost relative and said he wanted to tell her a shocking secret about the Wu family.

"I know the cause of your mother's death..." The man's voice was hoarse, his eyes flickering, "Also, the Wu family...they..." He hesitated to speak, staring at Wu Xinyan closely, as if to confirm whether she was trustworthy.

Wu Xinyan was confused, and her intuition told her that this man knew something.
