Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

One of the reasons Nan Chen attended the dinner was to see what Rong Yi would say.

He was curious why the so-called whistleblower who exposed Nanshi Corporation for fabricating its financial report

decided to change his mind.

Rong Yi claimed that Nanshi Corporation had abducted his family.

That must be true to a certain extent. The culprit must have threatened the whistleblower with the lives of his wife

and child. Otherwise, he would not have changed his testimony.

Of course, under such circumstances, the public would generally think the Nans were behind the abduction, and the

whistleblower would do anything to protect his family. All in all, Nanshi Corporation would benefit from it the most.

“Nanshi Corporation has always presented itself as a company with integrity, and I believe that. But holding women

and children hostage contradicts that image,” Rong Yi said with a smile.

Rong Yi was not a harsh person, but his contemptuous tone made Nan Chen uncomfortable.

Initially, Nan Chen was unwilling to argue, as he disliked verbal disputes. However, he regarded Rong Yi as a worthy

opponent and disliked being underestimated by the latter.

He retorted, “The person who exposed Nanshi Corporation for fabricating its financial report was a spy working for

Prosperity Holdings, right?”

“Yes,” Rong Yi admitted right away. “Sending spies to the other companies is nothing new. I bet Nanshi Corporation

must have done the same too.”

“You didn't protect your spy, yet you're taking it out on me? Do you expect me to protect the spy you placed in my

company?” Nan Chen asked.

“That's because I thought you would have figured out hundreds of ways to defeat Prosperity Holdings. I didn't

expect the Nan family would stoop so low as to abduct a child,” Rong Yi rebutted.

Nan Chen was becoming hot under the collar.

He had never ordered anyone to abduct the person's wife and his child. He would never resort to such

underhanded tactics.

Nan Chen turned to Rong Yi and said indifferently, “I thought you were one of my few worthy opponents, but turns

out you're not. You're right; I have a thousand ways to defeat Prosperity Holdings without resorting to such

despicable tactics. I don't need to explain myself, but since you insist, I'll tell you that the Nans did not do it!”

Nan Chen's gaze turned cold, and his demeanor was chilling.

Rong Yi remained smiling as he was not the least bit afraid of Nan Chen like others were.

For some reason, he did not find Nan Chen intimidating.

Surprisingly, he believed Nan Chen.

He believed Nan Chen did not order the abduction of that person's wife and child. Considering what a proud man

Nan Chen is, he wouldn't have denied it had he given that order.

Rong Yi could relate to Nan Chen's pride as he, too, was a dignified person who would not make up stories when

confronting their opponents.

That was why he believed in Nan Chen as much as how he believed in himself.

“Okay,” Rong Yi replied with just one word.

Nan Chen looked at him. “Do you not believe me?”

“I do.” Rong Yi gave another brief answer. “So you didn't send someone to injure my brother?”

“No,” Nan Chen replied succinctly.

“Why did you admit to it last time?”

“If you still think I was the culprit, I can admit it now,” Nan Chen uttered icily. If you really think I did it, I'll admit it.

What can you do to me?

Rong Yi nodded. “I have a secret. Do you want to know?”

“No.” Nan Chen outright declined.

“Why not?” Rong Yi did not expect him to respond that way.

“I don't want to owe you anything. The secret you want to tell me must be beneficial to me. Otherwise, what's the

point of telling me?” Nan Chen deduced.

Rong Yi nodded. He's indeed a man with a clear mind.

“That makes sense. Then why don't you tell me a secret too? Let's trade. That way, we can call it quits. How about

it?” Rong Yi smiled.

Nan Chen fell silent, seemingly considering.

“Are you worried I might take advantage of you, Mr. Chen? I'm surprised by your pettiness. Are you worried that if

you reveal a secret to me, I won't reciprocate?” Rong Yi chuckled.

“I'm not. I'll start first.” Nan Chen was known for his calm demeanor, but Rong Yi had successfully stirred him up

this time.

“Okay, you go first then.” Rong Yi looked at Nan Chen.

“There's a person in M Nation called Ruan Anxi, nicknamed Doctor, and he was the one who injured Rong Jilin's foot.

That person is not my friend, and what he did has nothing to do with me,” Nan Chen said slowly.

Rong Yi nodded almost without any doubt. “I believe that, and I'll remember what you said.”

Nan Chen kept mum, waiting for Rong Yi to tell him his secret.

He wanted to know what Rong Yi would tell him because he knew Rong Yi would never speak without careful

consideration. Therefore, whatever Rong Yi was about to reveal must hold great significance.

“Someone in your company did falsify the accounts. My spy exposed the truth, and he didn't tarnish Nanshi

Corporation's reputation out of spite. While it's true that the corporation's share price was affected, the fact

remains that someone manipulated information in the accounts. How could you allow such a thing to happen? I

don't understand,” Rong Yi said.

He believed Nan Chen did not order the abduction of that person's wife and child. Considering what a proud man

Nan Chen is, he wouldn't have denied it had he given that order.

The look in Nan Chen's dark eyes turned grim as he stared sharply at Rong Yi.

Rong Yi shrugged and spread out his hands. “You can choose not to believe in me.”

“I believe you. And I will investigate thoroughly,” Nan Chen responded.

“That's none of my business.” Rong Yi smiled.

Rong Yi's words had indeed left Nan Chen dumbfounded. He could not believe his company overseas really did

falsify the accounts!

Nan Chen might be a capable person, but Nanshi Corporation was a mega-conglomerate. Even with a professional

audit department and outsourcing auditing tasks to a third-party firm, they were bound to overlook some

irregularities.

It would be impossible for Nan Chen to scrutinize the financial situation of every subsidiary under the corporation.

Undoubtedly, there was room for false accounting. But for what purpose? Was it an attempt to embezzle company

funds or to manipulate the financial records? Moreover, who was responsible for this fraudulent activity? Was it the

executives or the management team of the subsidiary?

Nan Chen was determined to investigate the case thoroughly, even though it would not be a walk in the park.

Regardless of the reason, the consequences were significant.

As an international conglomerate, Nanshi Corporation's reputation was of paramount importance. The falsification

of documents by one subsidiary would tarnish the entire corporation's reputation, potentially incurring substantial

losses for the organization.

Furthermore, if the magnitude of false accounting was extensive, it could lead to the securities regulatory

department mandating the delisting of Nanshi Corporation. The ramifications of such an outcome would be

catastrophic.

Hence, it was imperative for Rong Yi to update Nan Chen about this.

Despite the potential embarrassment it might cause, it served as a warning to Nan Chen, reminding him that the

issue within his company required urgent investigation. Failure to act promptly could result in severe consequences.

Nan Chen understood Rong Yi's intention. He wanted to express gratitude, but words caught in his throat.

It was clear that Rong Yi was a respected adversary, and Nan Chen was glad he did not misjudge him.

While they were still talking, Ouyang Li arrived, interrupting their discussion.
