After meeting Secretary Cao, Wen Xinya’s spirits were greatly dampened. The entertainment city project was far more complicated than she had imagined. She was extremely worried about it because it had become beyond her control.
She had no idea what would happen to the Wen Corporation if she were to continue letting the entertainment city project go on. However, she was well aware that she would not be able to take the consequences, regardless of what they may be.
The mastermind behind Ning Shuqian was harder to deal with than she had thought, and not only was it impossible to prevent against them, they were incredibly powerful and had abilities that were far beyond the Wen Corporation… The very fact that they had instigated the Zhang Corporation to participate in the project, meant everything.
The most terrifying thing was that even until now, Wen Xinya still had no idea what the mastermind’s motive was, and the Wen Corporation was no longer in control.
Since Wen Haowen now had the rights to control the partnership and Wen Corporation’s operations, the Zhang Corporation was practically in control because Wen Haowen was being manipulated by Ning Shuqian. Hence, the Wen Corporation would be fully controlled by the mastermind, which was extremely dangerous.
Wen Xinya could no longer sit still. Hence, she frantically drove back to the apartment.
The purpose of hers and Si Yiyan’s scheme was to lure out the mastermind behind Ning Shuqian and find out their identity. Since they had already pulled the strings, she reckoned that there must have been some news.
Si Yiyan was in the midst of reading some documents when Wen Xinya entered. He waved at her and said, “Come here, I have something to tell you.”
Suppressing her emotions, Wen Xinya took a seat beside Si Yiyan and asked, “Have you already found out the identity of the mastermind?”
She could not come up with another reason for Si Yiyan’s solemness, apart from what she had guessed.
Si Yiyan nodded and asked calmly, “Xinya, have you ever heard of an organization called the Korean-Chinese Alliance?”
Logically speaking, there was actually no way Wen Xinya would be able to get to know about the organization because it was taboo amongst the upper-class society. However, ever since he met Wen Xinya, he began to find out more and more unfathomable things about her and hence, decided to ask her about it.
Wen Xinya shook her head in puzzlement and answered, “I haven’t. Does it have something to do with the mastermind behind Ning Shuqian?”
Wen Xinya could hear the disdain Si Yiyan’s tone when he mentioned about the alliance. However, at the same time, he also showed how much he despised but feared the organization.
Yes, he feared it!
Having known Si Yiyan for so long, she had never seen him fearing an organization to such an extent before.
Hence, that could only mean that the organization was just as powerful as Si Yiyan. Despite having lived two lives, Wen Xinya had never seen a person who was more powerful than Si Yiyan. Hence, she could not help but keep her guard up.
Si Yiyan said, “I sent someone to check on the Zhang Corporation, but I found out that their internal structure and business partners are all very complicated and suspicious. However, we could not find any evidence against them. Hence, it only looks like they have a complex management structure.
“However, after thorough investigation, I found out that one of the clubs under the Zhang Corporation is in close cooperation with a particular winery. I found out about the organization after investigating the winery.”
The Zhang Corporation and the winery did not seem to have anything to do with the organization on the surface and most people wouldn’t be able to find out anything about them, unlike Si Yiyan who held great power. On top of that, he had been keeping his guard up against the organization because of Lucifer, and only happened to find out their relation to the Zhang Corporation by chance. Clearly… they were very mysterious.
Wen Xinya took a deep breath as fear overwhelmed her. “What kind of an organization are they?”
She had never heard about the mysterious organization, despite having frequented nightclubs and received numerous tipoffs in the past.
It was way too terrifying.
Si Yiyan explained, “The Korean-Chinese Alliance is a mysterious organization that is even more discreet than Xiasi Group. No one knows where their headquarter is, let alone the number of members they have. Their numerous members are all hidden in various parts across the world, some of which are the top elites of the world, while others are old beggars on the streets. There are even some who are respected individuals in the business and political scene of various countries.”
Wen Xinya gasped, engulfed by shock and fear even though she could imagine how daunting they were.
Si Yiyan continued, “They rely on power struggles and complex relationships and authorities to stay hidden and commit crimes to wreak havoc. Some of them traffic firearms, drugs and ancient relics. Some are also known as top but unethical investors who manipulate the stock market to ruin a country’s economy and cause a crash in the stock market. There are also some who become national spies and betray their own country. Of course… there are also some who resort to despicable means to acquire companies and launder money… All in all, they earn money through unethical and immoral means.”
Hence, the organization still remained as taboo to the government and the upper-class society. Those who knew about the organization despised them to the core. The organization was the most terrifying one ever, and Si Yiyan knew that hundreds of teams were trying to investigate the organization.
Wen Xinya took a deep breath while she tried to process Si Yiyan’s words.
Everything that Si Yiyan told her today was beyond her imagination, and she could not quite fathom all of it. She could not calm herself down either.
It was too intimidating and formidable of an organization.
Si Yiyan continued, “They’re termed as the smartest criminal organization in the world.”
Wen Xinya said in a hoarse voice, “The Korean-Chinese Alliance has already set its sights on the entertainment city project which is now their biggest trump card. Once the project has been completed, the Wen Corporation will belong to them.”
That explains why they’re so insistent on getting the entertainment city project started.
