Chapter 727 Heinous Acts

"Aunt Wang, the paternity test results will be available in a week. The hospital will notify us then," Wang Yang said.

“Okay, we’ll stay here this week and not go anywhere. We’ll just wait for the results. You can go to work without worry and don’t take this too seriously,” Wang Chunfang said.

Wang Yang forced a smile. After all, this concerned his background, so how could he not take it seriously? Moreover, he knew that Wang Chunfang and Dong Ping were not simple people, which meant that if he really was her nephew, his own background also held secrets.

He didn't know what kind of person his mother was...

Back at the company, Wang Yang remained unsettled. He knew that Wang Chunfang and Dong Ping were no ordinary people; perhaps behind their outward identities lay hidden secrets.

More importantly, if he really was their nephew, what burden would he bear?
Wang Xiaoyun knocked on the door for a minute but received no response from Wang Yang, even though he clearly saw Wang Yang just enter the office.

Only then did Wang Yang come to his senses: "Come in."

"Mr. Wang, the project is almost finalized, and we can start construction now."

As Wang Xiaoyun spoke, she placed the documents on Wang Yang's desk while keeping an eye on his expression. Wang Dadong had just called her, telling her to keep an eye on Wang Yang for any unusual behavior.

He knew in his heart that something must have happened to Wang Dadong, but he didn't dare to ask what it was. After all, Wang Dadong would give him an extra 20 yuan every month, even if he didn't complete the task.

However, he wanted far more than that. He coveted the company; Wang Dadong had promised him that if things went well, he could work for Wang Dadong's company. But Wang Xiaoyun's ambitions didn't stop there.

He was here when the company was still small. Thanks to his efforts, the company has grown to its current size, so he absolutely cannot let go easily.

Once he completes this task, he will have the leverage to negotiate with Wang Dadong. His only condition is to become the head of this company.

“You did a great job on this project. To be honest, I underestimated you before. I thought you had never handled such a big project before and that you would definitely make mistakes. I was a little worried, but now it seems that I was overthinking it.”

Wang Yang's praise surprised Wang Xiaoyun, since he knew that he and Qin Tongtong had never gotten along well, and it was already quite rare for Wang Yang to praise him.

"It's all thanks to Mr. Wang's excellent guidance. I was really clueless before. Such a big project was suddenly handed over to us, and I was quite flustered. Fortunately, you pointed me in the right direction beforehand."

Wang Yang nodded, not taking the flattery to heart; he knew Wang Xiaoyun liked to flatter.

"By the way, Mr. Wang, I knocked on the door for quite a while, but you didn't answer. Is there something you need?"

Wang Yang then realized what was happening: "No, I just received an important call and was discussing something with the other investor, so I didn't let you in."

Wang Yang made up a random excuse, knowing that Wang Dadong would definitely have Wang Xiaoyun keep an eye on him, since they hadn't found their third uncle yet.

"That's good. I thought you hadn't been getting enough rest lately!"

"You'll continue to be in charge of this project!"

Wang Xiaoyun was somewhat surprised. Normally, the project should have been handed over to Qin Tongtong, so why did Wang Yang hand it over to her?
"Mr. Wang, shouldn't the next project be handed over to Mr. Qin? It's not appropriate to hand it over to me now, is it?"

"It's alright. Actually, I hadn't decided who to hand it over to from the beginning. It still depends on your performance. Qin Tongtong has other projects and is too busy. She probably can't handle such a big project. You probably don't have many projects left, right?"

Wang Xiaoyun nodded excitedly: "I have one more project to work on with Manager Zhang, and it will be completed soon."

"That's good. I think you've done a really good job on this project, and you've been following it from the very beginning. If we were to change people, it would take time to hand over the work. I guess Mr. Wang wouldn't want us to change people so often, so it's best if you continue to follow up."

Hearing Wang Yang say this, Wang Xiaoyun was overjoyed. She never expected such a big surprise to fall on her head.

"Okay, Mr. Wang, don't worry, I will definitely follow up on this project carefully and will not let you down!"

Wang Yang nodded and dismissed Wang Xiaoyun. His reason for having Wang Xiaoyun continue working on the project was that he could later shift the blame onto him.

He thought to himself, "No matter how much you guard against it, it's hard to guard against a traitor within your own family." If Wang Dadong were to use any more tricks that he couldn't prevent, he would have a countermeasure.

This project has always been handled by Wang Xiaoyun. If it were handed over to Qin Tongtong now, and something went wrong later, Qin Tongtong would definitely have to take responsibility. But now it's different. Wang Yang has been entrusting this project to Wang Xiaoyun, so if something goes wrong, she will naturally bear the responsibility.

At this time, Wang Xiaoyun was still naively convinced that Wang Yang trusted him, but when he reported the matter to Wang Dadong, Wang Dadong was furious.

"How could you take over this entire project? Who will be responsible if something goes wrong? Will you be responsible? I want this project to run into problems while Wang Yang and his team are handling it!"

Wang Xiaoyun was trembling with fear; he never imagined he had made such a grave mistake.

“But I didn’t think that much about it. Wang Yang entrusted the project to me, which means he trusts me, and I did do a good job.”

Wang Dadong was furious. There was still no progress in the matter of his third uncle's disappearance, and now Wang Xiaoyun had caused such a huge mess.

"Didn't I tell you before that this matter can't be entirely handled by you? What if something goes wrong?"

"But this project should be fine."

Wang Dadong sighed. He hadn't made it clear to Wang Xiaoyun before that this project was bound to go wrong, and it would be a big deal, known throughout the country.

Only in this way, when things escalate to the point that Wang Yang's company can no longer suppress them, can he take responsibility.

"It's my fault for not explaining this to you clearly before. This project is unstable. I had you working undercover in the company so that one day you could work for me."

Wang Xiaoyun was completely confused. He knew, of course, that Wang Dadong wanted to deal with Wang Yang, but he didn't know exactly how.

"Here's what we'll do. Go find Wang Yang right now and tell him you have something to do at home. Make up a reason, no matter what, so that you can't take over this project. You have to return it to Wang Yang or Qin Tongtong intact."

Ideally, it would be best to let Wang Yang handle this project himself; that would be perfectly reasonable. This is the first time their company has undertaken such a large project, and logically, it should be handled by either General Manager Wang Yang or Qin Tongtong.

"But he just handed the project over to me. If I suddenly go to see him now, won't he become suspicious?" "No matter how suspicious he is, at most he'll be more vigilant. Don't worry, I've already made arrangements with other companies. He can't escape."

Wang Xiaoyun thought for a moment: "What if Wang Yang is unwilling? He insists on handing the project over to me, and he should have made all the arrangements by now."

"Go first and see how he answers."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Dadong threw another tantrum, and the surveillance footage still hasn't been found.

After a while, Xiao Ye found Wang Dadong and showed him the surveillance footage related to her third uncle that she had collected over the past few days.

“Mr. Wang, you see, Uncle San did indeed escape alone. It was too chaotic at the time, and there was a lot of smoke, so no one noticed him. There was no one at the door.”

Xiao Ye has asked everyone over the past few days. The fire was too big at the time, and everyone was busy putting it out. There was definitely no one at the door.

“Look, my third uncle ran along this road all the way to the river, but then he disappeared. I suspect he was so dizzy from being exposed to the smoke that he fell into the river.”

Wang Dadong looked at him more closely and saw that his third uncle was staggering as he ran on the road, and he did seem to be out of his mind.

"Those brothers spent just as much time in the room as him, are they not quite right in the head either?"

"Yes, that's true for all of us. Almost everyone was unsteady on their feet when we came out. There was so much smoke inside, and we inhaled too much, causing oxygen deprivation in our brains. Uncle San is older, so his condition is even worse. You can see he was running while holding onto the wall. I guess he couldn't go on by the time he reached the river, so he just fell in."

Wang Dadong smiled and asked, "Have you looked for anyone in the river?"

“We’ve already searched, but as you can see, this river has the fastest current around here. If he fell in, he would definitely have been swept away by the current to another place. We simply can’t find him in this river.”

Wang Dadong nodded, and Xiao Ye, seeing his expression, assumed he believed him. Anyway, Wang Dadong's thought was that even if Qin Chuan wasn't in his hands, as long as Wang Yang didn't find him, it was fine.

"Xiao Ye, you handled this matter well. I have an important task for you. You've been by my side for many years, haven't you?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ye was startled. He thought that he would be marginalized in the future and would no longer help Wang Dadong do those immoral things, so that he could go to Wang Yang's company smoothly in the future.

"Yes, Mr. Wang, I've been with you for 10 years."

Wang Dadu nodded slightly with a rather satisfied expression and said, "Ten years is not a short time. I still remember you were a thin and weak young man back then, I never expected you to become so strong now. You've been by my side all these years, it must have been hard for you."

Xiao Ye smiled gently and replied, "Not at all, it's my honor to work for President Wang. Besides, if you hadn't saved me back then, I don't know where I would be now."

“I know you are all good kids who know how to be grateful. You also know that I am facing a big problem right now. You should have heard of Wang Yang, right? I have been trying to make trouble for him for a while, but he is quite clever, and I haven’t been able to find any evidence against him.”

Xiao Ye nodded and said, "I know him, but I've never had any dealings with him, so I don't know much about him."

"Because you've never dealt with him before, he has no idea you're one of my people. So I'd like to ask you for a favor: could you go undercover for him?"

Upon hearing the word "undercover agent," Xiao Ye's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it. He had originally planned to go to Wang Yang's place after this matter was over, but unexpectedly, Wang Dadong offered to send him there.

“Mr. Wang, what do you mean by this? I’ve always worked for you, why would I go to his company? Besides, I’m not familiar with his company.”

"Don't worry, I have a plan. I have a few people in his company. You were trained at my company for a while before, so you know the basics."

Xiao Ye nodded and said, "I know some, but I still need to learn more for complex work."

"It's alright, that's enough. I've already arranged for someone at his company to take you in, that's not a problem. What I need is for you to get close to him and gain his trust."

Xiao Ye looked troubled and said, "But it might not be easy to get him to trust me. What if he finds out I'm one of your people?"

“Absolutely impossible. Five of the people around me have identities that are impossible to trace, and they have no connection with me whatsoever. I chose you from these five people.”

Xiao Ye suddenly realized that Wang Dadong had been prepared from the beginning. These five people all had simple family backgrounds, had no connection with Wang Dadong, and never showed themselves in front of outsiders.

In other words, these five people are actually very useful, and now it's his turn to take the stage, but he doesn't know who the other four of them are.

"You don't need to worry about so much. Just tell me if you're willing or not. If you're not willing, I won't force you."

Xiao Ye thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Mr. Wang, you gave me my life. I will do whatever you ask without question. If you want me to go to Wang Yang's company, I am willing to go."

"Alright, then you go back first and wait quietly. I need to make proper arrangements for this matter, and I will send you to him soon."

Xiao Ye nodded and returned to his room. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around at night, he went to the place he had arranged to meet Wang Yang.

When Xiao Ye asked Wang Yang to meet her in the afternoon, Wang Yang was a little surprised. He wondered if Wang Dadong had already found his third uncle's whereabouts. Otherwise, given Xiao Ye's cautious nature, she wouldn't have asked him to meet at this crucial moment.

"Xiao Ye, you look so serious, is something wrong?"

Xiao Ye nodded and said, "Today, Wang Dadong suddenly told me that he wanted to send me to your side as an undercover agent. I'm wondering if he found out about what happened between us, so he said that on purpose."

Wang Yang was also somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected things to develop this way. He recalled his interactions with Xiao Ye and was certain that no one could have leaked the information.

“I’ve thought about it, and Wang Dadong probably doesn’t know about our relationship. If he did, he wouldn’t have done this, sending you to be an undercover agent for me. He must be trying to get some information about me from you. If we’re in cahoots, then his trick won’t work.”

Xiao Ye understood this principle, but he was a little flustered. Wang Dadong's sudden action made him uneasy.

"Xiao Ye, don't be too nervous. Think carefully about what else Wang Dadong said when he told you about this. Tell me."
