Captivated By You ✔️

186 Wen Zedong

Hui Yin didn't go back to the master bedroom.

Although the household staff wouldn't talk about it publicly, it wasn't certain that there wouldn't be any whispers behind her back. Lu Shen might not care, but after Hui Yin went back, the one who was going to bear the brunt of her careless actions would be Huian.

The butler was swift in his actions after Lu Shen told him what to do. When Hui Yin insisted that she didn't want to go back to the master bedroom, he could only compromise and put her in one of the many guest rooms inside the mansion. Hui Yin actually wanted to go to the servants' quarters, but conceded after seeing the butler's steely eyes.

Butler Wu made sure Hui Yin was comfortable before sending the kitchen an order to brew rice porridge and vegetable soup. He acted like her personal maidservant and treated her like a porcelain doll.

Hui Yin was aware of Butler Wu's status. He had the highest rank in the entire household staff, so his behavior towards her could only be a result of Lu Shen's orders. Frequently, Hui Yin would catch a curious expression on his face before he would quickly mask it with a stern appearance.

When the sun was about to set and Hui Yin was bored out of her mind from sleeping and eating all day, Lu Shen finally called her into his study.

"Did you find anything about the Wen family?" she eagerly asked as soon she sat on the chair in front of his desk.

Hui Yin was too excited when she came in, so she didn't take a proper look at Lu Shen. Now that they were in close proximity, she saw that his expression didn't look to good. There was a gloomy and dark aura surrounding him. She swallowed her saliva in fright.

Lu Shen forcibly restrained his rage and calmly nodded. He closed his laptop and looked at her as he said, "Are you close with your brother?"

Hui Yin froze, stunned.

Lu Shen took notice of her expression and his eyes dimmed.

"You told me before that you lost touch with your brother during your freshman year in the university. He fell in with a bad crowd, and you never saw him again."

He pushed a thin file towards her. There was a passport photograph clipped at the upper left of the first page, showing a pretty girl flashing a gentle smile.

"That's Wen Qinyang, the only daughter of the Wen family. When she was nineteen, she became pregnant. The father of her child is your brother, Hui Jinhai."

Hui Yin had barely processed this information when another file was placed beside Wen Qinyang's. This time, the photo was that of a middle-aged man with receding black hair and a slightly prominent nose.

"That's Wen Zedong, the Wen family's patriarch. He's the CEO of a subsidiary company of the Lu Corporation. I own eighty percent of their voting shares, although both his company and the Lu Corporation were separate and distinct legal entities. Several years ago, he was sued in court for creating millions of fraudulent customer accounts to increase profits and tax evasion. Since the holding company was the Lu Corporation, he begged me for help."

Hui Yin winced. Wen Zedong had just jumped from the pan and into the fire.

"Naturally, I refused. Although the Lu Corporation have no liability for the subsidiary companies under them, the reputation they have is still linked to the holding company. That kind of tumor, if left alone, would certainly spread and affect the Lu Corporation. So—"

"—you pushed them into bankruptcy," Hui Yin finished.

She couldn't help but pinch her nose. This man, if a company annoys him or if he thinks its too tiresome to deal with, he would not hesitate to bankrupt it. She could not count the number of times Lu Shen had stomped his opponents with the might of the Lu Corporation and crushed them flat.

Lu Shen nodded. "The shares I owned were exchanged for liquidated assets of his company, and Wen Zedong had to sell his estates and his properties to pay off his debt. His family was left destitute."

"What happened to Wen Qinyang? Did she give birth to my brother's child?"

"She committed suicide five months after her family were sent to the streets. Her mother died of a heart attack soon afterwards because of despair."

Hui Yin opened her mouth but abruptly closed it again. She could not say a single word. Indeed, a pampered young miss like Wen Qinyang, such a sudden flip of fortune would be too shocking. Especially since she was pregnant, her emotions would be too unstable. No wonder Hui Jinhai changed so much. If his loved one had died just like that...

Hui Yin bowed her head and her eyes fell on Wen Zedong's picture. Why did he feel so familiar...she suddenly realized that he looked similar to the men in the photos Bao Bai looked at before!

Lu Shen noticed her gaze and there was a grim twist to his mouth when he looked at Wen Zedong's picture. His dark eyes were rippling with violence and ruthlessness.

But his voice did not have a single trace of emotion when he said, "He's the driver of the car that killed you."
