Chapter 1371 - The Zhou Family and the Korean-Chinese Alliance (2/2)

Wen Xinya asked agitatedly, “Did you find out anything on the Zhou Family?”

She did not probe or force Zhou Tianyu to speak the truth, precisely because she wanted to see the results of Si Yiyan’s investigations before talking to Zhou Tianyu.

Otherwise, her plans might backfire and it would be difficult for her to clean the mess up.

Si Yiyan had once mentioned that he had found some leads and the only reason she could hold herself back was the trust she had in Si Yiyan.

“Do you still remember what I told you about the Korean-Chinese Alliance having planted deep roots in Capital city?” Si Yiyan asked while cocking his head towards the side to look at Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya screeched unnaturally. “You mean…”

The rest of her sentence seemed to have been stuck in her throat, for she could not bring herself to say it at all. She suddenly felt a cold chill down her spine.

Si Yiyan knew that she was in disbelief. He said calmly, “Your guess is right. The Zhou Family is one of the families that the Korean-Chinese Alliance has infiltrated. According to my investigation, they’ve already infiltrated the Zhou Family for almost a decade.”

The Wen Family’s entertainment city project led him to the discovery of the Korean-Chinese Alliance planting their snitches in the prestigious and influential families in Capital city, after which he investigated on them. However, it was difficult to do so without alarming them. Even though he used his connections, the process was not too smooth.

Hence, he had been waiting for an opportunity.

Wen Xinya’s request for him to investigate on the Zhou Family was a good opportunity.

Initially, he did not suspect the Zhou Family and had only investigated on them according to Wen Xinya’s request. However, he soon discovered something unusual with the investigation.

The bizarreness would seem insignificant to most people and hence, go unnoticed, even to renowned detective agencies. However, Si Yiyan was an exception.

For a person who had been paying close attention to the details of the Korean-Chinese Alliance for a long time, he had already developed a sharp sensitivity towards their actions. He had a sixth sense that would allow him to discover something without having to brainstorm much.

After discovering something unusual, he decided to become more careful with investigating. Due to the fact that he did not manage to find any useful leads, he did not inform Wen Xinya. He was also worried that she might be too concerned about her friends and end up alarming their enemy.

It was not that he didn’t trust her but rather, she cared too much about her friends.

Wen Xinya took a deep breath and gasped. She totally didn’t expect the results to be so extraordinary. “So that’s the truth, no wonder…”

There was then an explanation for her qualms.

Zhou Tianyu must have known about the situation and simply chose not to accept Gu Junling because she knew that the Gu Family would end up getting implicated and Gu Junling would face a horrible fate.

Gu Junling was more and more open about his feelings for Zhou Tianyu, thus making it impossible for her to control her feelings. Hence, she chose to escape.
