Chapter 1264: Eliminating Yun Xi

Liang Xinyi headed straight for the Han Corporation once she had left school. She was no stranger to the building, and the receptionist had let her through many times to see Han Wanling. However, this time, Liang Xinyi requested to meet the director instead. The sudden change left the receptionist in a dilemma, but she eventually dialed the office of the vice director to seek permission.

Coincidentally, Han Hongbin was in the office of Han Yaotian when he received the call from the receptionist. As Han Yaotian listened to the request from the receptionist, a wave of hesitation washed over him. He turned to Han Hongbin and spoke after a moment of deliberation.

“Father, this girl called Liang Xinyi wishes to meet us. She is rather special, you see. She’s the cousin of Yun Xi and the daughter of the second wife of the fourth Su son. She has little to no connections, but her relationships are rather valuable. Elder sister had used her as an eye to keep watch on Yun Xi when she was overseas, but who knew she was involved in a scandal with Han Zhongteng. He even stood up for her during the Su wedding banquet. Their relationship is pretty complicated, I believe. Would you like to meet her?”

All of Han Yaotian’s words were a glaring hint to Han Hongbin that Liang Xinyi could be an individual who possessed significant uses for the Han family.

Whether it was for surveying Yun Xi or keeping Han Zhongteng in check, Liang Xinyi posed a useful resource to be tapped into.

Han Hongbin frowned as if he was deep in thought. Liang Xinyi had no significance or status in Jingdu, yet he could not deny that she had utility especially when it came to crucial moments of a crisis.

“She’s still here despite your sister being locked up in the jail. She must be quite loyal and dedicated to having us as a pillar of her support. Tell them to bring her up. We should not waste this chance.”

“Sure!” Han Yaotian agreed and informed the front desk to usher Liang Xinyi up to their office.

Liang Xinyi was brimming with hope when the receptionist agreed to take her to the vice director’s office. She went over the words she planned to say in the elevator.

This was an opportunity for her to meet the head of the Han family and leave a good impression. This was an extremely rare opportunity as well to ensure she could keep the Han family as her pillar of support.

Once she reached the office, the sight of Han Yaotian struck her previous confidence a bit.

She recalled what Han Wanling had said about Han Yaotian as her obstacle in succeeding to be the heir of the Han family, but Liang Xinyi also knew that once Han Wanling had been detained, she would lose her chance to attend the socialite ball and her reputation would have fallen into h*ll. There was no doubt that Han Yaotian would become the successor instead of her.

Liang Xinyi reminded herself that the director was someone she should never offend, not even unintentionally.

“D…director Han…”

“Heard you are a friend of my daughter. Did you have something to share with me?”

“I…” Liang Xinyi gritted her teeth and retrieved the recording of her conversations with Yun Xi from her pocket. She played the recording for the two of them to listen to.

“I figured that Miss Han must have been set up by someone, and her only enemy would be Yun Xi. So I tried to confirm my suspicions and recorded our conversations as proof. Who would have thought that cursed girl would be so reluctant to say anything? This was all I could get from her. I doubt they will be of any help to Miss Han…”

As the recording came to an end, Han Hongbin studied Liang Xinyi with a frown. He had not met Yun Xi personally, but he had felt the heat of her tactics.

His daughter had lost twice to Yun Xi. He had thought their fight was a childish squabble, but now he’d learned that despite Yun Xi’s age, her plans and schemes were above those of ordinary men.

To make matters worse, she had the support of the Young Commander. Jingdu was nothing but a game of chess for her. Even Han Hongbin, who had dabbled in various frauds and vices during his years in the financial world, had been sent to jail by a girl who was barely an adult. This was a humiliation that Han Hongbin had taken seriously, and he believed eliminating Yun Xi was the only method to resolve it.

“This recording does not prove much, but I appreciate your intentions. Thank you anyway. This case has been a pain, and I have been very overwhelmed trying to resolve the situation.”

Han Hongbin sighed. His voice carried the worry and resignation of a doting father when he spoke again, “I heard you and Yun Xi are cousins?”

“We are…but our relationship has long soured. If she did not plan to sabotage me in every way, I would not be in the state I am in today!” Liang Xinyi burst out.

She could not salvage a sliver of good name even if she scraped every surface of her reputation, and she had had her innocence taken by Han Zhongteng.. She was nothing more than a joke for the high society of Jingdu.
