Chapter 289 - Chapter 289: It’s My Doing
There must be something wrong with the Beichen Fund. Wu Rong knew it without looking into it. Similarly, there must be something wrong with the Dongfeng Fund. Wu Rong was well aware of its problems. This was why she didn’t manage the fund herself but found a few partners to do it. The benefits were well distributed and the partners had connections. With someone to back them up, even if something happened, there would be someone who would stand up for it! Huo Lixin was the one who could take on the blame! In terms of connections, Wu Rong thought that she could not compare to Huo Lixin.
“If anything happens to Huo Lixin, then no one will be able to escape. The Dongfeng Fund might really implicate me.” Wu Rong was very calm. The stakes were right there and there was nothing to hide. Then, Wu Rong changed her tone and asked Jiang Tong with a smile, “But, Miss Jiang, why would Huo Lixin be in trouble? I wonder if you know about Huo Lixin’s background, Miss Jiang? If he didn’t have a strong background, I wouldn’t have worked with him.” Wu Rong’s words were filled with absolute confidence. She felt that Jiang Tong was threatening her, so she naturally had to be confident that she would be fine.
“Huo Lixin’s background is indeed powerful. He’s too powerful.” The smile on Jiang Tong’s face grew wider. She continued, “He’s the kind of person that the Shao family won’t let go to prison even if they have to pay a huge price for it because his relationship with the Shao family is much closer than you think. Most of the things he did for the Shao family in the operation of the fund can’t be told to anyone, and he can only bring those matters to the grave.”
“Since you already know, what right do you have to say that something would happen to the Dongfeng Fund? You said something would happen to me?” The smile on Wu Rong’s face widened. She looked at Jiang Tong with a puzzled expression.
“Because Huo Lixin will definitely be in trouble,” Jiang Tong also smiled. Wu Rong was stunned for a moment. She took a while to understand what Jiang Tong was talking about!
“You mean…” Wu Rong supported herself with both hands on the table and stood up slowly, looking at Jiang Tong. She asked, “You mean the Shao family? Is the Shao family going to be in trouble?”
“Yes,” Jiang Tong smiled and added, “It’s my doing.” She didn’t hide what she wanted to do because she knew Wu Rong’s character too well! She was telling Wu Rong all these based on Wu Rong’s personality!
Zhou Jingyun’s personality was very similar to Wu Rong’s, which was one of the reasons why Zhou Jingyun regarded Wu Rong as his idol. Neither of them wanted to succumb to fate and wanted to resist. Wu Rong had already succeeded in resisting, but the difference between Zhou Jingyun and Wu Rong was that Zhou Jingyun was strong and domineering. He dared to express his attitude directly, so no one could do anything to him, not even the old master of the Zhou family! He wouldn’t pamper anyone. No means no, he had no fear! Wu Rong was different. In this aspect, she was like Zhou Jingyun’s other extreme. It was not that she accept a compromise, but that she knew how to scheme, beat around the bush, and pretend to agree. She could appear very friendly on the surface, but she would secretly set up a trap and then kill the other party with a single stab.
Wu Rong had successfully taken control of her own life. What she was after now was more money, higher status, and absolute control over her own life. She hated things that she could not figure out! Zhou Jingyun did not care how many secrets Jiang Tong had. As long as they did not threaten him, he would not get to the root of the problem. Such a person would have a lighter life on the road of resistance, but Wu Rong was different! Even though Jiang Tong had already made her understand that she would not be a threat to Wu Rong, as long as Wu Rong still had doubts, especially when it involved Jiang Tong, as long as she did not understand, Wu Rong would be very vigilant. She would investigate, she would want to know everything, and she would always be on guard. People who were too shrewd would always live a tired life and have to think too much every day. Wu Rong was one of them.
Wu Rong’s personality had a lot to do with the shadow left behind by her sudden loss of control in her life back then. She was not as strong and fearless as Zhou Jingyun.
“You want to mess with the Shao family?” Wu Rong stood up and looked at Jiang Tong with a strange expression. The thing that she could not understand the most had happened. Jiang Tong was just Zhou Jingyun’s girlfriend. She was not even a member of the Zhou family, and she had no background. She had no other background except for her boyfriend, who was a little more powerful! This was Wu Rong’s understanding of Jiang Tong. Although she could guess that Jiang Tong must have something extraordinary about her, and might even have some unique skills, otherwise Zhou Jingyun would not have taken a fancy to Jiang Tong.
