NOVEL NEXT Chapter 112: The Secret is Lost
If there is such a thing as a genius in this world, Wang Ye's senior sisters believe that Wang Ye is undoubtedly a genius without equal.
Even though they had heard of many geniuses.
But in their eyes, their little junior brother Wang Ye was the most brilliant of them all.
"And, our little junior brother even stayed on the mountain for a few more years, surely learning more than us,"
Chen Li finally added.
"Hmph."
When Xia Qingxin heard what Chen Li said, she felt somewhat proud: "Yet I haven't seen him surpass me in the ways of business."
Xia Qingxin was quite proud.
The master had taught their junior brother and them many things, but while the junior brother surpassed the other sisters in many areas, only she, the eldest sister, had not been surpassed.
"That's not necessarily true."
He Qian, who heard Xia Qingxin's words, stared at her with an eager smile, as if she was about to watch a good show unfold: "Our little junior brother is going to start his own company soon. What if he surpasses you then?"
"Little junior brother, you're going to start a company now?"
Xia Qingxin and the other senior sisters, upon hearing He Qian's words, all looked at Wang Ye in surprise.
...
Before dawn.
The moon still hung in the sky.
Most people were still lost in their slumber.
Ring, ring.
The phone rang suddenly in Xia Qingxin's room.
Xia Qingxin opened her eyes and looked at her phone's screen lit up by the incoming call. Although still sleepy, her expression turned serious and solemn.
At this hour, nobody would normally disturb her, calling her.
And if someone did call her at this time, it meant one thing: something important had happened.
Xia Qingxin answered the phone and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Chairwoman, just now, I saw the lights in your office on and thought you were working late, so I made a cup of tea for you. But to my surprise, I saw a shadow leaving your office through the window."
"Your office's safe has been opened, and everything inside is gone."
It was Xia Qingxin's secretary calling.
Xia Qingxin's face "whooshed" with a change of color upon hearing what her secretary said.
The content inside her office safe was all critical confidential information of the company.
Any loss could involve cooperations worth at least tens of millions.
Moreover, now everything was missing.
Under such circumstances.
If the items couldn't be recovered and were left to leak out, it would mean that there could be a loss of over a hundred billion.
"Wait for me, I'll be there right away."
Xia Qingxin spoke up. Although it was only three in the morning, she was no longer sleepy upon receiving this news.
A loss of over a hundred billion.
Although on paper, she had assets worth hundreds of billions, her liquid funds were not nearly as abundant.
Of her hundred-billion assets, ninety-nine percent were fixed assets.
Those that were liquid amounted to just a few billion.
So, if Wang Ye hadn't given three billion to Su Wanqing, Wang Ye's current wealth would be almost equal to Xia Qingxin's.
Xia Qingxin got up, opened the door, and was about to drive to the company when Wang Ye called out to her: "Eldest sister."
Xia Qingxin turned around, looked at Wang Ye, and asked, "Why aren't you asleep?"
"I was, but I woke up when I heard noises," Wang Ye replied.
Xia Qingxin, upon hearing Wang Ye's response, gave him a disdainful look, clearly not believing his words.
She thought that Wang Ye must have been staying up all night.
Otherwise, even though she had things to attend to, to prevent waking Wang Ye and the others, she had been extremely careful in her movements.
It was just to let Wang Ye and his crew catch a little more sleep.
If Wang Ye really fell asleep, he shouldn't hear anything at all.
However, Xia Qingxin didn't know that Wang Ye truly came down after hearing some noise.
Although Wang Ye was asleep,
but with Wang Ye's current strength, even while sleeping, he could hear any little sound.
"Going out late at night, is there a problem, elder sister?"
"Nothing important."
After saying these words,
Xia Qingxin realized that Wang Ye kept his gaze on her, staring at her.
His eyes meeting hers.
Clearly, Wang Ye knew she was deceiving him.
Prompting her to tell Wang Ye the truth.
After a moment of their gazes meeting, Xia Qingxin finally told Wang Ye about the incident that had occurred at the company.
"If you hadn't told me about this, you would never be able to investigate it properly," Wang Ye spoke up, realizing that a master must have been involved in the incident.
And such a master's involvement wasn't too far-fetched to describe as appearing and disappearing like a ghost; although Xia Qingxin might possess assets worth hundreds of billions, in this area, she was just an ordinary person.
Therefore.
Without Wang Ye, Xia Qingxin would absolutely be incapable of investigating the matter on her own.
Xia Qingxin wanted to object, but Wang Ye's firm eyes made her realize that he wasn't just talking big.
It was indeed the case.
"Then come with me," Xia Qingxin knew that even if she didn't want Wang Ye to join her, he would definitely not agree.
It was better to just agree right away.
"Okay."
After leaving the house, Wang Ye directly opened the door of his Spyker C8 and said to Xia Qingxin, "Sit in my car; it's faster."
Xia Qingxin got into Wang Ye's Spyker C8 and headed straight to Xia Qingxin's office.
Twenty minutes later.
Xia Qing Group.
Usually, by this time, most of the Xia Qing Group would have turned off their lights, with only a handful of offices still lit up for the night shift.
After all, Xia Qing Group did not have a night shift.
But now, the light shone brightly throughout the Xia Qing Group, with nearly every room lit up.
And in the lit rooms, one could see from outside that many people's shadows were moving quickly about, seemingly searching for something.
Just from this observation, one could tell how serious the incident was.
Wang Ye glanced at Xia Qingxin, who had a furrowed brow, clearly pondering something; even upon arriving, she didn't respond for some time.
"Elder sister, we're here."
Wang Ye called out to Xia Qingxin.
"Oh, oh."
Upon hearing Wang Ye's words, Xia Qingxin thought to get out of the car right away, but Wang Ye held her back with his hand.
"What's up?"
Xia Qingxin frowned and stared at Wang Ye, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity. Now that they had arrived, shouldn't they get straight to finding the lost item?
"Which one is your office?"
Wang Ye asked.
Wang Ye had not been to Xia Qingxin's office since he came back and was not very familiar with the location of her office.
"Over there."
Xia Qingxin pointed.
"Alright."
Wang Ye acknowledged and drove the car directly toward the area beneath Xia Qingxin's office.
