Chapter 1792 - You Shouldnt Trust Others So Easily (2/2)

Earlier on, she had already called Liu Yanhua to assign a discreet security detail to Teacher Gu. With the Korean-Chinese Alliance lurking around, one could not be too careful.

Si Yiyan replied calmly, “Xia Ruya will not attack Gu Yihan directly as the implications are too massive. If she dies, Rosy Lane will not be able to emerge unscathed. The Korean-Chinese Alliance will never take such a major risk. And at this point in time, there’s no way that Xia Ruya will dare to act on her own accord.”

What would the press and the public think if Gu Yihan was to suddenly die so soon after Rosy Lane and Lu Bingxin’s little act?

Wen Xinya wished to retaliate, but she had no idea how to.

Si Yiyan sighed. He gently stroked her tightly-pursed lips with one finger. “You are so smart, how could you fail to understand my meaning? Since you already investigated Lu Bingxin, why don’t you just check into Gu Yihan at the same time? This is not your usual manner of doing things.”

Doing things halfway had never been Xinya’s style.

Wen Xinya shook her head. “Teacher Gu would never betray the Wen Corporation. I trust her. Why should I investigate her!”

She had known Gu Yihan for so many years. She was both her teacher and her close friend. Gu Yihan had done so much for the Wen Corporation. The company owed its current position in the clothing market all to her.

As a result, when Lu Bingxin accused Gu Yihan, she had immediately taken for granted that Gu Yihan was innocent and protected her without any questions.

“Xinya, I know you trust Gu Yihan. I didn’t say she betrayed the Wen Corporation. I just want you to investigate her as a precaution. If you are so sure, then Gu Yihan shouldn’t have anything on her that can be used, right?”

He was well aware of how loyal Wen Xinya was to her friends and family.

He had interacted with Gu Yihan before and she appeared to be a honorable person. He would naturally not believe that she would betray them. But apart from betrayal, there were other ways to get to a person.

Human beings were complex creatures and could be capable of many things beyond imagination.

“I trust Teacher Gu’s character.”

Wen Xinya knew how naive her words sounded. But she respected Gu Yihan deeply as a teacher and a friend, and so was very much against the idea of investigating her.

“Xinya, you shouldn’t trust others so easily. Otherwise, you might get burned one day.”

Xia Ruya was like a cockroach that could not be exterminated. She knew the human psyche too well. In this aspect, the blindly loyal Xinya was at a disadvantage.

Wen Xinya looked very conflicted. She was momentarily at a loss for words.

“If you are unwilling, you can hand this matter over to me.” Si Yiyan didn’t force her. He had brought this up as he didn’t want her meeting with any future issues just because she didn’t carry out the necessary checks.

Wen Xinya shook her head. “No need. I will do it myself!”

Si Yiyan was right.

Currently, Gu Yihan was the Wen Corporation’s biggest weakness. Xia Ruya was obviously not going to let go of Gu Yihan, which clearly showed that something was up. The problem wouldn’t go away just because Wen Xinya tried her best to avoid or ignore the matter.

For the sake of the Wen Corporation, her wisest course of action was to conduct an investigation into Gu Yihan.

All would be good if there were no issues.

And if there turned out to be a problem, then it would be best to resolve it as quickly as possible.
