Feast for Shengsheng

Chapter 863 The calm before the storm

Then Wen Ning carefully explained her thoughts to Sheng Weiwei.

"We need foreign media to expose the fact that Xu Jia attempted murder back then, and to expose all the evidence." Wen Ning said calmly.

"When? Now?" Sheng Weiwei asked directly.

"No, three days later, proceed gradually. Don't mention Xu Jia's name when releasing the news."

"Reveal it little by little each day, and after about a week, we'll expose it."

Wen Ning spoke directly, word by word.

Sheng Weiwei didn't ask any further questions and immediately nodded in agreement.

"No problem, leave it to me," she assured him, patting her chest.

Then Sheng Weiwei hung up the phone.

Wen Ning sent the information in her hand to Sheng Weiwei.

The purpose of doing this was to stir up trouble and, after Zhou Yi succeeded, to confirm that Xu Jia had committed murder.

She didn't intend to let Xu Jia out.

Wen Ning cannot forget the debt from six years ago.

Wen Ning lowered her eyes and remained quiet.

She stopped reading the various rumors circulating online.

Her work phone is switched off, and no media outlet can reach her.

Wen Ning spent the entire week at Xiangshan Temple.

Even the three meals a day were delivered to the private room to avoid unnecessary trouble.

This area of ​​the side rooms has also become a forbidden zone; no one may enter without permission.

Naturally, no one offered to stay overnight.

It was as quiet as the calm before a storm, making it hard to fathom.

……

At that time——

Zhou Yi was arrested and detained in a detention center.

Everything seemed like a routine.

Interrogators came and went every day, leading outsiders to believe that Zhou Yi was being interrogated day and night.

However, those on the inside knew very well that Zhou Yi had been working in the detention center, rather than being interrogated.

On the surface, it appears to be Zhou Yi's lawyer coming and going.

But all the evidence they dealt with was related to Xu Jia's crimes.

Because of Zhou Yi's arrest, coupled with the continuous financial scandals plaguing the Zhou Group.

Calls for Xu Jia's return are growing louder.

Xu Jia repeatedly declined, behaving extremely modestly.

Public opinion is on Xu Jia's side, believing that Xu Jia is the most suitable candidate, and that the so-called family succession can no longer support the development of a company.

It even cited numerous examples of families that went bankrupt and declined after passing on their wealth.

Zhou Yi watched quietly, without showing any emotion.

"Mr. Zhou, Xu Jia is getting more support." The assistant looked at Zhou Yi quietly.

“Then give her a voice,” Zhou Yi agreed readily. “Let’s make this quick.”

"I understand." The assistant nodded, then quickly added, "There's one more thing. There's a report from foreign media that, although it didn't name names, I think it's about Xu Jia. Would you like to take a look at this?"

The assistant handed Zhou Yi the news from the foreign media.

Zhou Yi glanced at it and immediately understood.

“It was Wen Ning’s idea,” Zhou Yi said calmly.

The assistant was somewhat surprised to hear that it was Wen Ning's idea.

"If Xu Jia is proven guilty of murder, and with these other charges combined, and if she pulls strings at higher levels, she could be sentenced to at least thirty years," the assistant calculated.

"She will be sentenced to death." Zhou Yi remained calm.

The assistant was stunned.

He didn't understand Zhou Yi's meaning for a moment.

With so many people watching Xu Jia's case, the higher-ups could only act appropriately.

Deliberate executions will only lead to biased public opinion.

Xu Jia is too good at exploiting loopholes.

Therefore, the assistant did not think this matter would be so easy.

“Because it’s not just these things, she’s also involved in drug trafficking,” Zhou Yi said expressionlessly.

The assistant was astonished.

"This part of the evidence is not very complete, so we need to keep it for now; it's our last trump card," Zhou Yi said calmly.

Wen Ning will deal with Xu Jia personally.

Zhou Yi agreed.

He can make Wen Ning act with impunity.

Even if Wen Ning kills someone, Zhou Yi can handle it.

The assistant nodded without saying anything more.

After Zhou Yi finished explaining the situation, his assistant left with the lawyer, while Zhou Yi remained in the detention center.

Two days later.

The media in the capital were in an uproar.

Xu Jia became the agent of the Zhou Group and returned to reorganize the company.

Zhou Yi remains in detention, and there has been no further news of him.

Even Nan Sheng and Song Xiao didn't say a word.

Not to mention Zhou Jingyan.

Zhou Jingyan's mind was entirely focused on Su Zhenzhen, and he didn't concern himself with anything related to the Zhou Group.

It seemed that Zhou's plan had completely failed.

All of this was within Xu Jia's plan, yet it felt too smooth for her.

Xu Jia frowned, and doubts kept rising in her mind.

Xu Jia looked at her assistant: "Are you sure there are no problems? Have you handled everything I asked you to do?"

"Don't worry, the evidence is conclusive, there won't be any unexpected problems," the assistant replied.

"All the evidence points to Mr. Zhou. If he doesn't compromise, he will face a long period of imprisonment." The assistant finished speaking quickly. "If there's a way, Mr. Zhou's lawyers won't be coming and going without any activity during this time."

The truth is this.

But Xu Jia was still worried.

That was their understanding of Zhou Yi, so how could they have stumbled so easily?

"Miss, what are you worried about?" the assistant asked Xu Jia.

Xu Jia did not respond.

There are some things that Xu Jia hasn't sorted out yet.

But Xu Jia knew for certain that she held all the power.

Because Wen Suisui needs to have surgery.

Zhou Yi has already contacted his uncle, Lin Chunsheng.

Wen Suisui is currently waiting for the right time for surgery.

Xu Jia has already made arrangements with Lin Chunsheng, who treats Xu Jia almost like his own daughter.

Lin Chunsheng will not do anything that Xu Jia is unwilling to do.

So, this is the last trump card.

Xu Jia is not afraid of getting into trouble at all.

With these thoughts in mind, Xu Jia gradually calmed down.

The assistant suddenly looked at Xu Jia and said, "But there's something I also find strange. Would you like to take a look?"

The assistant handed Xu Jia the gossip from the foreign media.

"I don't know why, but although no names are mentioned here, I have a feeling that this matter is related to Wen Ning and you," the assistant said directly.

The assistant handled all of Xu Jia's affairs.

You'll only feel a sense of déjà vu when you see this gossip.

Because Xu Jia did the same thing.

Xu Jia glanced at it coldly: "It's not important. This matter is about how no one can change the facts. Even if Wen Ning is really making veiled accusations, what can she decide? There's no evidence. Otherwise, given Wen Ning's current arrogance, she would have already brought it out into the open."

Xu Jia is certain.

The assistant nodded in agreement with Xu Jia's words and then remained silent.

"Miss," the assistant called out to Xu Jia again after a long silence, "when do you plan to return to the Zhou family?"

"Wait a little longer, or they'll be begging me to go back." Xu Jia scoffed. "Also, make arrangements for me to go to the police station to see Zhou Yi."

"Okay." The assistant nodded.

The assistant then quietly left.
