Chapter 869 Impossible To Scrutinize

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.
