Chapter 1375: A Side Story About Si Yiyan (3)
Si Yiyan thought that it was just a minor disruption in his life. However, he did not expect that he would end up being embroiled in a knotty relations.h.i.+p with this woman, even after her death.
Huo Qiuzhen had already been tortured by all sorts of methods and made to speak the truth. Huo Qiuzhen pleaded with Si Yiyan and begged him to show some mercy and take care of his brother.
Si Yiyan agreed.
Si Yiyan heard some substantial news about the Korean-Chinese Alliance from Huo Qiuzhen, some of which were regarding Wen Xinya. What he found out was rather shocking.
He had been investigating on the core of the Korean-Chinese Alliance’s authority in Capital city, only to discover that it was the Wen Corporation!
The Korean-Chinese Alliance had long set their sights on the Wen Family and everything that happened to them, including Mo Yunyao’s death, the missing of their blood heir, Ning Shuqian’s appearance and the adoption of Xia Ruya, were all intentional occurrences planned by the Korean-Chinese Alliance.
The Korean-Chinese Alliance controlled Ning Shuqian and Xia Ruya, manipulated Wen Haowen, and used the Wen Corporation as a smokescreen for their illegal activities.
Of course, Wen Xinya was also being controlled by them.
At this moment, he began to take pity on the woman whom he was involved with.
Despite being plotted against by the Korean-Chinese Alliance, she managed to survive. Although it was partly because of the fact that he had been looking out for her, her determination had a huge part to play as well.
As soon as Si Yiyan returned to Lishan Mansion, the butler scurried towards them and said, “Ninth Young Master, your guest is here. She’s waiting for you in the living room.”
Si Yiyan nodded and entered the living room to see that his guest was a beautiful and young girl who seemed to be in her twenties. She had a cold and sullen expression on her face and she was wearing a black Cheongsam dress that was embroidered with pure white flowers.
The flowers symbolized endless remembrance, hopeless love and a message from Heaven!
Si Yiyan asked calmly, “Miss Zhou Tianyu from the Zhou Family?”
The Zhou Family had an extraordinary influence in the Capital city political scene. On top of that, Zhou Tianyu was also an outstanding diplomat who was a political star that everyone paid attention to, just like Zhong Rufeng.
“Hi, Lucifer!” Zhou Tianyu answered politely while subconsciously hanging her head low. She looked extremely nervous even though she was keeping her cool on the surface.
For the past few years, she had been trying to investigate and find out about him through various sources. At last, she managed to reach him through Jiayuan Club. It was her first time meeting Lucifer, the leader of Xiasi Group, and she felt that he was much more formidable than she had imagined. Hence, she began to get a grip on herself.
“Have a seat!” Si Yiyan said before taking a seat on the couch opposite her.
The servants served up the tea.
The rich aroma of tea wafted up into Zhou Tianyu’s nose and made her feel much more relaxed. “Lucifer, I’m sorry to have disturbed you today. I know you have something to do with the wipeout of Black Sunday. I have a piece of information that I think you’ll be interested in.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Tianyu clenched her jaw and retrieved a doc.u.ment from her bag, which she then placed on the coffee table. She slid it towards Si Yiyan painstakingly, as if she had expended all of her energy and was putting her life on the line. She clenched her fists tightly while they trembled.
Her chances of winning the gamble were slim and showing him her sincerity and value was her last hope.
Si Yiyan took a look at the information and stared at her calmly, finding her to be rather courageous. “How are you so sure that I’ll be interested?”
He had known right from the start that Zhou Tianyu had begun paying attention to him three years ago and even tried to find out more about him through various methods. He had been leaving her alone, all because he was waiting for this day.
Zhou Tianyu clenched his fists tightly and said, “This is about the Korean-Chinese Alliance. To be honest with you, the Zhou family has fallen into their trap since two decades ago. The Zhou Family has paid a hefty price and my husband has also pa.s.sed away because of that.”
The thought of it made Zhou Tianyu feel extremely agonized. Gu Junling had already pa.s.sed away for seven years, during which she missed him dearly and was overwhelmed with grief and misery. Ever since his death, she had been dressing only in black. Everyone thought that she simply liked the color black, but no one knew that she was mourning over Gu Junling.
She would have long collapsed and given up if it weren’t because of her desire for revenge that kept her strong.
Si Yiyan managed to find out that Old Mr. Zhou got into a car accident which left him crippled five years ago. Although Zhou Tianyu’s father held a high position, her mother developed depression and had been staying in a nursing home in the suburbs. The nursing hope was part of the Korean-Chinese Alliance.
Gu Junling was the only son of the Gu Family who was in love with Zhou Tianyu and had pa.s.sed away seven years ago. After Gu Junling died, Old Mr. Gu donated all of their a.s.sets to charity organizations and left for Suzhou together with his son and daughter-in-law.
Even Si Yiyan was in awe of their resoluteness.
Zhou Tianyu decided not to be wishy-washy. She knelt onto the ground and said, “Lucifer, I want to take revenge for my husband. I want to save my mother. I want the Zhou Family to be free from this devil. As long as you’re willing to help me, I’m willing to pay the price.”
It took her seven whole years to find out that information. However, the more she found out about the organization, the more hopeless she felt. Because they were formidably strong and there was no way she could possess the same power. If she were to act rashly, she might end up alarming them and having her plans get backfired.
Hence, she wanted to look for someone whom she could cooperate with. However, there was barely anyone who could deal with the daunting alliance in the world.
She found hope when Lucifer appeared before her.
She subtly discovered that Lucifer had been dealing with a mysterious organization, which she guessed to be the Korean-Chinese Alliance. She knew that her chance was here and hence, she tried everything she could to reach him.
Si Yiyan glanced at her coldly and said, “I’ll take this doc.u.ment.”
The Korean-Chinese Alliance managed to plant their roots in the powerful Wen Corporation. The Zhou Family was the most influential family in the city and if he could control them and cooperate with them, he was certain that he would be able to eradicate the Korean-Chinese Alliance completely.
Zhou Tianyu was as happy as a lark. She knew that Lucifer was willing to deal with the Korean-Chinese Alliance since he had accepted the doc.u.ment.
