Chapter 6: All in One

When she decided to deal with the group of greedy people in the company, Wen Ya started looking for people to investigate their issues, especially the senior executives, because she didn’t believe they were clean. Sure enough, after spending a lot of money, she found what she wanted.

“Miss Wen, everything is here. How about the payment?” the man asked carefully.

“Don’t worry, your money won’t be missing.” Wen Ya quickly glanced at the photos and their private actions, then paid the balance.

“Thank you, Miss Wen. Next time you need work, just come to me, and I’ll definitely do it for you.” The man looked at the text message, saw the balance was received, and even rounded up to an integer. He smiled and said, “Miss Wen is very generous. I’ll give you a heads-up. This was taken by a little brother of mine accidentally. Maybe you can use it.”

Wen Ya took it and saw it was a close photo of Gu Chengze and the heroine, as well as a photo of her going to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital. Was she pregnant? Then it made sense why Gu Chengze was eager to break off the engagement with the original body.

It was a small surprise. “Thank you very much.”

Wen Ya returned home and carefully examined the information. She found that three senior executives of the group had opened companies in others’ names and used Wen’s resources to expand themselves. The rest took kickbacks or sought personal gain. Surprisingly, only two veterans who had been with Wen’s father for a long time were relatively clean.

In other words, these two also took kickbacks, but the amounts weren’t shocking.

It’s said that when the water is too clear, there will be no fish. However, the Wen family is in such a state now, and the senior executives are so corrupt, Wen Ya decided to use this opportunity to clean house thoroughly.

“Miss, Lawyer Ye is here.” Uncle Li led in a tall, handsome man in his thirties.

“Lawyer Ye, I’ve heard a lot about you.” Wen Ya stood up and shook his hand.

Her father’s lawyer was trustworthy, but he had to leave South City for a while. Before leaving, he recommended Lawyer Ye to Wen Ya.

Lawyer Ye is no unknown figure. At a young age, he’s already made a name for himself in the legal field. After checking his information, Wen Ya felt he was suitable, so she contacted him.

“Miss Wen, you’re too kind.” Lawyer Ye sat down opposite Wen Ya and subtly glanced at the well-known eldest daughter of the Wen family. He found she wasn’t the same as the rumors suggested.

Wen Ya pushed the information she had gathered in front of Lawyer Ye and said, “Let’s see if what I found is useful.”

Those senior executives aren’t stupid. Although the companies they founded outside are theirs, they aren’t the legal representatives. If Wen Ya hadn’t spent a lot of money digging deep, they might not have been discovered.

“That depends on how far Miss Wen wants to go.” Lawyer Ye asked as he carefully flipped through the documents.

“Of course, those who should compensate should pay, and those who should go to jail should go. I have no other requirements. They should be punished according to their mistakes. I’ve always been fair.” Wen Ya crossed her arms and smiled.

“This isn’t enough. It would be best if we could get photos of their meetings and financial transactions.” Lawyer Ye said after thinking for a moment.

Wen Ya nodded, “I understand. I’ll have someone continue investigating.”

After seeing off Lawyer Ye, Wen Ya brought dinner to Wen’s mother and ate with her.

“Uncle Li said you’ve been leaving early and coming back late these days. Did you go to the company? Don’t overwork yourself. Nothing is more important than your health.” Since Dad Wen’s accident, Mother Wen has rarely paid attention to outside matters. Plus, Wen Ya specifically instructed no one to talk about it in front of them, so she didn’t know the news outside.

“I know. Just take good care of dad and yourself. I’m old enough to take care of myself.” Wen Ya smiled and glanced at her phone. It was Moore. “I’ll go out and take this call.”

Seeing Wen Ya leave, Lin Lin shook his head, turned to Wen’s father, and smiled, “This child, no matter how old she is, she’s still a child in her parents’ eyes. But time flies. The scenes of us playing with Xiao Ya are still vivid. In the blink of an eye, she’s grown up and can take care of herself. If you wake up and see such a capable daughter, you’ll be so happy.”

Moore mentioned that the two shareholders he had previously contacted agreed to sell their shares, but they wanted to sell at the pre-drop price.  

“Tell them the price will be three times the daily closing price. The stock has hit the limit down for three straight days. Who knows what tomorrow will bring! If they miss this chance, it’s gone forever.” Wen Ya snorted, aware she couldn’t delay further. Her funds were limited, and dragging things out would leave Wen’s severely damaged, requiring years to recover.  

“I understand,” Moore replied. He thought the price could be lower, but as someone who follows orders, he stayed silent.  

The Wen Group was in chaos after Wen Qihua became incapacitated. With the stock hitting the limit down repeatedly, the company lacked leadership, and shareholders were uncertain.  

Small shareholders, especially, panicked upon hearing the city might reclaim the west city project. Selling now might still yield some value, but further drops could mean total loss.  

Wen Ya proceeded to buy out small shareholders, leaving only General Manager Lin, Director Wang, and Director Wu, who collectively held 12%—insufficient to cause major disruption.  

Including shares from the stock market and those bought from small shareholders, Wen Ya now owned 81%. Moore continued acquiring scattered shares for her. To fund this, she spent the 2.5 billion yuan from selling Delin and owed Ji Ming another 500 million. Had she not been hypnotized into believing the money wasn’t hers, the stress might have caused a heart attack.  

“Uncle Li, call Uncle Li and Ah Yong. I’m heading to the company today,” Wen Ya announced, dressed in DA’s latest suit, a white shirt, and black high heels, exuding confidence.  

“Miss, you’re going to the company? Understood,” Uncle Li, her driver, replied. Ah Yong, her bodyguard, joined them. Wen Ya also enlisted Lawyer Ye and requested police presence, aiming to arrive by nine to eliminate all internal threats.  

“Who is this?” reporters outside the Wen family murmured as Wen Ya appeared regally.  

“Isn’t this Wen Qihua’s only daughter?”  

“Doesn’t look like her?”  

Whispers spread, but her commanding presence signaled importance.  

“Are you Chairman Wen Qihua’s daughter?”  

“Miss Wen Ya, why are you here today? How is Chairman Wen’s health? Is it true your mother died of a sudden heart attack?”  

Wen Ya paused, glaring at the last reporter. “My father is temporarily unconscious and will recover. My mother is healthy. Spread rumors again, and you’ll receive a lawyer’s letter.”  

At the company entrance, Wen Ya addressed the reporters. “I apologize for my absence. Today, I’m here to address our partners and shareholders. But first, I must clean up the mess.” She entered the building, employees eyeing their future boss cautiously.  

“Notify all shareholders and senior executives to attend a meeting. Absence will have consequences,” Wen Ya ordered, encountering Assistant Wang at the elevator.  

Despite any disdain, Wen Ya’s status as Wen Qihua’s daughter and the company’s largest shareholder was undeniable. Her call for a meeting was obeyed without question.  

As the meeting began, police arrived at Wen’s building, sparking a frenzy among reporters. Speculations about the car accident being more than an accident or internal corruption ran wild.  

“Who reported the case?”  

“Was it Wen Ya? Is Chairman Wen Qihua’s accident a murder case? Any suspects?”  

The lead officer halted, addressing the reporters sternly. “Mr. Wen Qihua’s case is handled by the Ministry of Transportation, not us. We’re here for a separate matter. Blocking us may result in obstruction charges.”  

The reporters backed off, content with the information they had.  

Inside the conference room, attendees were unaware of the outside commotion, focusing instead on Wen Ya, each plotting their next move.
