The CEO's Woman

The next day, big news rocked the entire business world.

Fu Honglie's car had exploded while he was on his way to his office. His body was burnt to such an extent that no one could recognize it.

"It's her. Now it's confirmed. It's Fu Xiaolan. Not her mother," Jiang Yue said before taking a sip of the juice that Fu Jin had made for her. "Her mother is too timid to do this to her own husband.. That Fu Xiaolan is getting more dangerous by the minute."

"Hmmm..."

"If I am right, then she will use this to rally all the investors against you and your father, requesting them to cast their votes for her brother. Additionally, since her brother is still unconscious, she will become his sole representative," Jiang Yue explained. "Smart move."

"Aside from the fact that she did not leave any evidence, she seems to be innocent on the outside. No one will suspect her," she added.

Fu Jin had been frowning since he received the news of his uncle's death. "She wants to blame her father's death on me and frame me for hurting her brother. Afterwards, she will be the one to reap all the benefits."

"It's amazing how long it must have taken her to plan all of this," Jiang Yue said before smirking. Jiang Yue finally understood why Fu Xiaolan took actions against them only now. She was merely waiting for her father to embezzle enough money from the Fu Corp. It would put pressure on the latter to make his son the head of the Fu Family and to use his daughter to infiltrate the Wang Group through Wang Minghua. "However, she is not smart enough... not yet."

"Are we going to do what we had planned?" Fu Jin asked.

"Yes. When she puts the blame on you, I will release it online," she said. Jiang Yue was talking about Fu Honglie's gambling addiction and embezzlement. Her reasoning was simple- why would Fu Jin kill his own uncle who owed them hundreds of millions? How would he pay back his debt to the Fu Family if he was already dead?

It would switch the blame towards the people who Fu Honglie owed money to through his gambling.

Then Jiang Yue and Fu Jin would wait for Fu Xiaolan to gather all the investors against them. Jiang Yue did not have any other proof that could connect Fu Xiaolan to the attacks, except for what Alex did. Jiang Yue had found the bank account that was used to transfer money to Alex and she was able to trace it back to Fu Xiaolan. Jiang Yue believed that Fu Xiaolan was using this account for her underhanded transactions.

Moreover, Jiang Yue had found some traces that showed how most of the money that Fu Xiaolan deposited in this account had coincided with the money that her father had embezzled from the Fu Company. The only question now was how certain she was that the owner of the bank account was Fu Xiaolan and not her father.

That was because although the account was not under her name, it was made on her birthday two years ago. Aside from this, Fu Xiaolan's trip abroad was at the same time as the account opening. Her location was also the same location as the bank.

Sometimes, Jiang Yue would wonder if Fu Xiaolan had deliberately let Jiang Yue trace it back to her. However, she quickly disposed of the idea as it was unreasonable. There was no reason for Fu Xiaolan to do that.

Jiang Yue believed that at that time, Fu Xiaolan did not have the network and knowledge that she had now. That was why she had made a mistake. Of course, she was certain that Fu Xiaolan had not considered it as a mistake since it was extremely difficult to trace the bank's information.

It took Jiang Yue almost the whole night to track Fu Xiaolan's activities abroad, including her university days, as well as all of her secret trips and transactions. After all, no one could entirely delete something that was already in the virtual world.

What attracted Jiang Yue's attention most from Fu Xiaolan's past activities, was the fact that it took a sudden turn two years ago. She appeared normal, boring, and conventional.

But it had all changed two years ago, just around the time that Jiang Yue had left for the Cybercrime organization.

She couldn't help but wonder what had caused these sudden changes in Fu Xiaolan.

Had someone approached her? To make her change her mind? To stimulate her already angry heart, and convince her to have her revenge?

Jiang Yue stared at Fu Xiaolan's files again.

Two years ago she had started meeting influential people both in and out of the black market. Jiang Yue guessed that she had been trying to gather allies to help her achieve her goal.

As for her goal, Jiang Yue was still not sure about it. She understood that Fu Xiaolan must have been angry for being deprived of her own choice. Jiang Yue assumed that Fu Xiaolan wanted to destroy Fu Jin and his family because they were the ones who had put pressure on her father and mother.

However, Jiang Yue was still not certain about the extent of Fu Xiaolan's plans. Was she trying to destroy the entire Fu Conglomerate before building it back up?

For now, Jiang Yue was only certain about one thing: Fu Xiaolan was a smart enemy. She was an enemy that would make Jiang Yue stronger and wiser in the near future.
