The voice on the other end, Wu Jiajia, had regained a calm tone.
A delicate laugh came from the other side. "Solving this isn't difficult. As long as you're willing, not only will your company not go bankrupt, but I can even get your parents out of the police station."
Xia Wanfu's eyes instantly lit up, her heart surging with hope. She hurriedly asked, "What's your plan? Tell me quickly, don't keep me in suspense."
There was a moment of silence on the other end, teasing her before finally saying, "Do you know Jiang Zexi, the heir to the Jiang family in the capital?"
Xia Wanfu only knew that there were four prominent families in the capital. As for the specifics, that was beyond her social circle.
Wu Jiajia, on the other hand, though her family was on par with the Xia family.
She had a capable aunt who had married into a collateral branch of the Jiang family, one of the four prominent families.
Therefore, compared to Xia Wanfu, she had more opportunities to interact with high society.
On the phone, Wu Jiajia chuckled, "As long as you can win Young Master Jiang's favor, everything you desire is merely a word from him."
Those were the four prominent families. Was that something she could even aspire to?
Although Xia Wanfu fell silent, her heart couldn't help but fantasize and anticipate.
If only she could latch onto Young Master Jiang…
Wu Jiajia said with a faint smile, "If you've made up your mind, call me before seven tonight. Seize the opportunity."
With that, the call ended.
Xia Wanfu leaned back on the sofa, her beautiful eyes darting with unconcealed ambition.
Xia Yichen, his cold expression gone, smiled and said, "Sister, whether the Xia family can recover now depends on you."
Xia Wanfu ignored him and went upstairs on her own.
It was four-thirty in the afternoon, giving her two and a half hours to prepare. She needed to dress up properly.
Not just for the Xia family, but for herself.
This was her only chance. If she could get close to Young Master Jiang, she would truly become a phoenix soaring to the heavens.
Xia Yichen didn't mind Xia Wanfu's attitude. As long as he had money to spend and wasn't reduced to living on the streets, other matters were insignificant.
Meanwhile, Xia Linfeng and Han Wenjuan had already been detained at the detention center.
Han Xiao had provided the police with surveillance footage and a report.
The surveillance was from a hotel and from the Jin Ding residential complex.
The complex's surveillance showed Xia Wan Tang returning home at four in the afternoon yesterday and not leaving the house since.
Around 8:10 PM, Xia Linfeng and his wife took an unconscious person into a private car.
They drove to the Zhongsheng Hotel.
Following that was the hotel corridor surveillance. Around 8:40 PM, they took the person into a room with the door marked 206, but which was actually room 209.
Han Xiao enthusiastically provided all the clues.
Because the hotel room number was broken, they had sent the person to the wrong room. As for why they had drugged and taken the person to a hotel,
That was for Xia Linfeng and his wife to answer.
And room 206 was occupied by Du Jiasheng. Coincidentally, Xia Linfeng's company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and Du Jiasheng, as a business partner,
He happened to hold the fate of Xia Linfeng's company in his hands.
The last footage from the surveillance showed Xia Linfeng and his wife leaving. After that, the hotel surveillance ended.
Next was the residential complex surveillance, timestamped for this morning.
Xia Wan Tang returned home just after ten, and left about half an hour later, her face covered in blood.
The examination report was Xia Wan Tang's blood test results, which clearly indicated the presence of two unusual substances in her blood.
One was a sleeping pill, and the other was an aphrodisiac.
With these clues and evidence, the police quickly opened a case, and the charges were logically established.
Xia Linfeng and his wife naturally refused to admit guilt and demanded an appeal, so their family members were notified.
The evidence was undeniable. Although it was an attempted crime, a prison sentence of at least six months to a year was unavoidable.

Precisely at four-thirty in the afternoon.
Han Xiao knocked on the door of the CEO's office.
"Come in."
Ling Yucheng responded, put down the document in his hand, and glanced at his watch. It was already four-thirty.
Han Xiao walked in and bowed. "President, the house you requested has been purchased."
"En."
Ling Yucheng finished dealing with the documents in his hands and stood up to walk out.
Han Xiao immediately followed, knowing where they were going to pick someone up.
It seemed his president was truly serious, otherwise, he wouldn't be so preoccupied.
The elevator descended to the underground parking lot.
A luxury car was parked in the reserved spot.
Han Xiao quickly walked over and opened the rear passenger door. After Ling Yucheng got in, he got into the driver's seat.
As the car started, Ling Yucheng took out his phone and dialed Xia Wan Tang's number.
The call was answered quickly. Ling Yucheng said directly, "I'll be there to pick you up in twenty minutes."
"Okay."
Xia Wan Tang didn't waste any words and agreed immediately.
After the call ended, Wen Xuanxuan stared at Xia Wan Tang with sparkling eyes.
She teased, "Are you sure you're not moved by him? Otherwise, why are you listening to him so obediently?"
"Why shouldn't I listen? This is his compensation to me." As for whether she was moved, there was certainly some degree of it.
Such a handsome man, who wouldn't like him?
But Xia Wan Tang was self-aware. A man like him could have any woman he wanted.
Why would she humiliate herself? He was just interested in her for now.
But it was just a fleeting whim. Who knew when he might get tired of her? Where would she go to cry then?
Seeing that her expression was unchanged, Wen Xuanxuan lost the mood to tease.
"Actually, it's not necessary. You can live with me."
Xia Wan Tang just smiled without speaking.
Wen Xuanxuan lived with her family, a whole household.
How could she live in someone else's home? A night or two was fine, but after a while, it would be so uncomfortable!
If Wen Xuanxuan lived alone, then it might be acceptable. She could pay rent and even stay temporarily.
Wen Xuanxuan naturally understood this, so she didn't insist.
In fact, she also wished she could move out and live on her own. With her family's financial capabilities, it wasn't impossible.
But her parents, grandparents, and siblings were all worried and unanimously opposed it, so she had to follow the majority.
Xia Wan Tang reached out and pinched Wen Xuanxuan's cheek, smiling, "When I move in, you can come live with me!"
"That's more like it."
Wen Xuanxuan batted away Xia Wan Tang's playful hand and finally smiled.
Thinking about it this way, it wasn't so bad. She could stay out late frequently from now on.
Time flew by, and Ling Yucheng soon arrived outside the complex.
After bidding farewell to Wen Xuanxuan, Xia Wan Tang left with her schoolbag on her back.
The black car stopped by the roadside, drawing a lot of attention.
Even in this upscale complex with countless luxury cars, this car still stood out.
This was because it was a custom-made car, the only one of its kind in the world, priceless.
Opening the car door and getting in, Xia Wan Tang politely greeted, "Hello, Mr. Ling."
Ling Yucheng gave a soft hum, his expression softening considerably.
Han Xiao drove attentively, his eyes fixed on the road, but his gaze couldn't help but dart backward.
Xia Wan Tang felt a little constrained, her hands clasped on her lap, not daring to move or look around.
Ling Yucheng slightly pursed his thin lips, his eyes full of helplessness.
He didn't seem to have done anything, and he had always been quite amiable. He just didn't know why she was still so nervous and afraid.
