Chapter 1766 - How Confident Are You of Taking Over the Xiao Corporation (1/2)

Xia Ruya glanced mildly at Ning Yuya’s corpse. Her body had been touched up by the coroner, but years of drug abuse had turned Ning Yuya’s face into a gaunt and scary, zombie-like mask. It was as bad as Xia Ruya’s earlier disfigured appearance.

After Ning Yuya’s death, her body had been sent to the police for investigation. After the authorities collected all the required evidence, they had notified the next-of-kin to reclaim her body. But why in the world would that dastardly Zhang Hui bother about his dead daughter?

In the end, Ning Yuya’s body had been sent straight to the crematorium.

The current scene reminded Xia Ruya of the aftermath of Ning Shuqian’s death.

“Burn her! Give her peace!” Xia Ruya instructed calmly.

Xia Ruya was not the slightest bit affected by Ning Yuya’s death.

Previously, she had been slightly disturbed by Ning Shuqian’s death, and she had made a pompous little speech in order to absolve herself. Now, she was already numb to it all.

The bodyguard beside her gave an involuntary shudder.

Xia Ruya shot him a mild glance. “Don’t think I am being ruthless. Ning Yuya has been a drug addict for seven to eight years. Her body is completely destroyed by drugs. She also had a wanton sex life and already contracted AIDS. Her health has been on a straight decline since. Even if I didn’t make use of her, she wouldn’t have had long to live.”

In her eyes, there was no reason for a creature as wretched as this Ning Yuya to live on in this world.

Even if she died, her death was not worth crying over.

The bodyguard wisely kept his mouth shut.

Xia Ruya was so highly regarded by Mr. Z that he had even handed over part of his power in Capital city to her.

Ning Yuya continued calmly, “Moreover, the drug overdose had her so high that she was numb to everything. She did not feel any pain at all. So, at least, I dealt her a pretty quick and painless death.”

After Ning Shuqian’s death, Xia Ruya had given Ning Yuya a lot of money to spend as she pleased. It was not at all unreasonable to have her offer something in return.

Xia Ruya left the crematorium after making sure that Ning Yuya’s body had been burnt to ashes and the world no longer held any traces of her existence.

As Xia Ruya sat in the car, she watched the greenery by the side of the road. Her lips curled up in a smirk. “Wen Xinya, you managed to cast Wen Haowen aside and take over the Wen Corporation, making me lose control of the entertainment city project. You also did everything you could to help Bella defeat T-K Group. You thought by doing so I would be left totally helpless. But you never imagined that I would strike the Xiao Family!”

Her tone was extremely smug.

The Xiao Corporation was even more significant than the combined weight of both the entertainment city project and T-K Group.

By the time Chu Jingnan took hold of the Xiao Corporation and allied themselves with the Li Corporation, the Wen Corporation would be nothing compared to them. Xia Ruya wanted to see if Wen Xinya’s status a member of the Zishan Club would be enough to save her and the Wen Corporation then.

She smirked again. “The Capital City’s Dynamic Duo is just an empty name. I have yet to lose to you.”

Her mobile rang just then.

The smirk on her face deepened when she saw who the caller was.

“How confident are you of taking over the Xiao Corporation?” Mr. Z’s voice was cold and metallic as usual, but also carried traces of a more complex emotion.

Xia Ruya was someone he used to have high regard for. He had even handed her a portion of his power in Capital city. However, the failure of the takeover battle and T-K Group’s defeat was a major blow to the alliance’s influence in Country Z. This made him very disappointed in Xia Ruya. Thereafter, he had gone completely radio silent, with the intention of hiding in the shadows to recover.

The power handed over to Xia Ruya was as good as forfeited.

He never expected that not only was Xia Ruya not beaten down, but she had also audaciously allied herself with Chu Jingnan to make use of Ning Yuya and attacked the Xiao Family.
