After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 654 - 652: Playing the Decoy Now?
Chapter 654: Chapter 652: Playing the Decoy Now?
"What a way to consider others as oneself," Xiao Jinglan thought, genuinely inspired with a surge of fighting spirit by Song Sinian’s idea.
If the other side really needed someone to threaten Xu Zhenzhen, he hoped they would come to him.
Xia Wenjue’s brows furrowed slightly, "No matter what, the second brother is one of the XJ Corporation’s heirs; even if they want to pressure Zhenzhen, they wouldn’t choose the second brother, would they?"
Xia Wenmo propped his chin, pondering Song Sinian’s idea for a long while, "Is there a possibility that although he is one of the Xia Family’s heirs, he has never been involved in the XJ Corporation’s business operations, and therefore they automatically consider him an heir without any real power?"
An heir without real power is like a pace-runner—without any deterrence.
If the other side really is powerful, they won’t fear an heir without real power.
Xia Wenmo’s words instantly refocused everyone’s gaze on Xia Wenqing.
"Otherwise... why don’t we have our dad announce the heir publicly? And then exclude the second brother?" Xia Wenyan proposed his suggestion just in time.
Xia Wenjue’s brows rose slightly, "You seem to have forgotten that we’ve given all our shares to Zhaozhao, actually none of us three are heirs."
Xia Wenmo nodded in agreement, "Exactly, if an heir is to be announced publicly, it should be the announcement of Zhaozhao inheriting the XJ Corporation."
"That would work! If I’m no longer an heir of the Xia Family, they will definitely kidnap me too if they really want to pressure Zhenzhen, and that way I’ll be able to see Zhenzhen!" Xia Wenqing thought of this, and his eyes brightened.
Although Xu Zhenzhen had been gone for only a few days, it felt like a century to him.
Every day apart from Xu Zhenzhen was undoubtedly torture for him.
"I object, doing this would make Zhaozhao the target of XJ Corporation, waiting for her to be targeted," as soon as these words were spoken, Song Sinian immediately rejected their proposal.
Although announcing an heir publicly and kicking Xia Wenqing out of the heir race was a good fishing tactic, the premise was that it could not harm Lu Zhaozhao.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t give face to anyone.
Seeing this, Lu Zhaozhao reached out and tugged at Song Sinian, "Mr. Song..."
"Not announcing that Zhaozhao is the heir, we still have many ways to prove that Xia Wenqing is not the heir of XJ Corporation, don’t we?" Song Sinian, not caring what they said, fixed his piercing gaze on the Xia Family.
He didn’t want Lu Zhaozhao to be in jeopardy, and he believed the Xia Family felt the same.
If they didn’t think so, then he wouldn’t mind making them think that way from now on.
Song Sinian’s dangerous gaze shifted to the Xia Family, "What do you think?"
The Xia Family naturally understood Song Sinian’s meaning—they had only thought of finding Xu Zhenzhen as quickly as possible, never intending to sacrifice anyone for someone else.
Xia Wenjue’s voice matched Song Sinian’s, "We have the same thoughts as you; we absolutely will not implicate Zhaozhao."
"That’s right, even if we have to find Zhenzhen, we can’t put Zhaozhao in danger," Xia Wenqing pursed his lips, "I can publicly announce my loss of heir status."
Xia Wenmo gave Xia Wenqing a look, "Are you sure by doing this, you won’t make them think you are doing it on purpose and thus raise their vigilance?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Everyone fell silent again because they really hadn’t considered this point.
They all thought that if Xia Wenqing could just simplify her identity a bit, perhaps it would lower the other party’s guard, but no one had thought that suddenly stripping Xia Wenqing of her XJ Corporation identity might raise the other party’s suspicions.
After all, with Xu Zhenzhen’s disappearance, any major move on their part would appear highly suspicious.
Xia Wenyan slumped completely onto the couch, wearing an expression of utter despair, "This won’t work, that won’t work, what the hell should we do then?"
Xia Wenjue lifted his hand to pat Xia Wenyan on the shoulder, "Don’t panic, we have to take things one step at a time. We’ve already got some clues on hand; all we need to do is expedite the investigation into the clues Zhaozhao has given us and then wait to see if their people will actually come to kidnap someone."
If they actually did this, it would save them the trouble.
But just to be safe, they still needed to proceed on two fronts.
With no other options available, everyone agreed to temporarily proceed with this plan.
After discussing with the Xia family members, Lu Zhaozhao left with Song Sinian.
As soon as the two reached the doorway, Xia Wenmo chased after them, "Zhaozhao, I forgot to tell you, Xia Wenjin has made a move on Xiao Mo. I helped her capture him; he is at the abandoned factory in the Western Suburb."
"Xia Wenjin captured Xiao Mo?" Lu Zhaozhao’s face was one of shock, "She really dares to do what she thinks."
She had previously heard from Song Sinian that Xia Wenjin had made quite a few plans, and she thought Xia Wenjin just wanted Hao Jiayi to poison someone to death—as revenge for herself.
But who would have thought that after Xia Wenjin dealt with Zhao Qingfeng, her plan would change completely?
Now she’s playing a game of using one thing to substitute for another?
Upon hearing Xia Wenmo’s words, Song Sinian glanced at Lu Zhaozhao and asked, "Do you want to go take a look?"
"No!" Before Lu Zhaozhao could speak, Xia Wenmo immediately stopped Song Sinian’s thought, "That place in the Western Suburb might be an abandoned factory, but Xia Wenjin, in her thirst for revenge against Xiao Mo, filled it with some mind-shattering things. Better not soil your eyes."
"..."
Goodness, Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
Xia Wenjin, that woman, had refreshed her worldview yet again.
She had not expected that after a trip abroad, Xia Wenjin would play so wildly. frёeωebɳovel.com
Song Sinian’s eyebrows also twitched. He hadn’t expected Xia Wenjin’s revenge to be staged quite so dramatically.
Xia Wenmo naturally noticed their expressions and sighed lightly, "This Xiao Mo seems like an upstanding person, but he’s actually part of the letter circle, and he’s a perpetrator of violence. Xia Wenjin must have been treated badly by him when she was married, which is why she’s retaliated against Xiao Mo like this."
Xia Wenjin always was one to keep a strict ledger, how could she not pay Xiao Mo back for what he did?
But as far as he was concerned, it didn’t matter who won in this dog-eat-dog fight; to him, it was only a spectacle.
"I really didn’t see it, Xiao Mo being that sort of morally corrupt person ..." Lu Zhaozhao mentioned the man, filled with revulsion.
She remembered Xiao Mo’s lecherous face from her past life, and now the news of him being part of the letter circle didn’t seem too surprising.
Suddenly, Lu Zhaozhao seemed to think of something, "If Xia Wenjin has tied up Xiao Mo, then does that mean Zhao Qingfeng is temporarily taking his place?"
Xia Wenmo nodded, "That’s right, Zhao Qingfeng is currently assuming Xiao Mo’s role at the company. However, he has chosen not to stay at the Xiao Family house, probably fearing his identity might be exposed by Xiao Jinglan, after all, she’s Xiao Mo’s own mother ..."
