Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 413 - Complete Wipeout of the Triads

Chapter 413: Complete Wipeout of the Triads

Wen Xinya could not help but feel extremely anxious, especially since she could not find Si Yiyan in Lishan Mansion. She continuously browsed through the news on the internet, only to receive a great shock the moment she saw the headlines that were written in red. It turns out, so much had happened when she was unaware.

It was as if there would be bloodbaths in the city whenever nighttime arrived, every single night. Dozens of bars were wiped out and several large-scale clubs were suddenly out of business. The police had begun raiding all these late-night entertainment joints and the illegal products found were all terrifying.

Based on the knowledge she had about Black Sunday from her previous lifetime, she noticed that those bars were a.s.sociated with Black Sunday.

Black Sunday had really been dealt a huge blow.

Their downfall had occurred seven years earlier than expected!

She suddenly realized that her rebirth from the Siberian b.u.t.terfly had given her a whole new perspective of life and changed her life in more ways than she had imagined.

Wen Xinya grabbed her bag and sprinted out of the room.

She pa.s.sed by the living room to see that her grandfather was watching the finance and economics channel on television. Upon sight of how fl.u.s.tered she was, he quickly stopped her in her tracks and asked, “What’s the matter? Why are you so fl.u.s.tered?”

Wen Xinya shook her head and answered, “Nothing much, I was just reminded of something all of a sudden, so I’ve decided to go out for a while.”

Old Mr. Wen looked up at the clock on the wall of the living room to see that it was already eleven o’clock at night. A frown creased on his forehead and there seemed to be more wrinkles on his face. “You’re going out at such a late hour. Why can’t you wait until tomorrow?”

The more he understood her, the more trust he had in her. Hence, he had rarely probed about her private matters, for he was certain that she could handle them well herself.

Upon hearing the sounds of the clock ringing, Wen Xinya discovered that it was already eleven o’clock at night and that Si Yiyan had already been out for two hours. It turns out she had been unable to contact him for two hours.

Noticing that she was staring at the wall blankly with anxiety written all over her face, Old Mr. Wen said, “Xinya, there has been chaos breaking out in the city of late. I think you’d better not go out at night.”

Having experienced a lot in life, he was well aware of the triads and mafia matters in the city. He had a hunch that Wen Xinya had something to do with the chaos in the city, though he was uncertain if he was overthinking.

Having sensed the austerity in his tone, an ominous feeling filled Wen Xinya’s heart. Given how influential Old Mr. Wen was in the city, she knew that he would definitely know more than she and Gu Junling did. “Grandpa, I have something to handle. I’ll be back very soon.”

Old Mr. Wen said with a sullen expression on his face, “Xinya, do you know how much chaos there is in the city now? There is a ma.s.s annihilation of the triads and the police have already begun investigating on all the suspecting persons entering and leaving the nation. Even the national security department have to work endlessly from day to night. There are lots of plainclothes policemen on the streets too.”

Wen Xinya had never tried to sound Old Mr. Wen out before in the past. However, after hearing his words, her heart began to pound. She was certain that Si Yiyan was definitely involved.

One party was bound to get hurt in the brawl between Black Sunday and Jiayuan Club.

Although she had faith in Si Yiyan, she could not stop being worried about him and his safety.

She suddenly remembered that the wound on Si Yiyan’s arm had yet to heal completely. She had no idea if he would be affected either.

Wen Xinya was at a complete loss for what to do, and she was consumed by anxiety.

Noticing that she had turned pale, Old Mr. Wen said softly, “Xinya, if there’s nothing important, refrain from going out at night. You’re the heiress of the Wen Family and your ident.i.ty is different. You’d get into trouble very easily.”

Unlike the Gu Family, the Wen Family did not have connections to the triads. The Wen Family was a proper business family and they did not have such connections at all. If something were to happen to Wen Xinya, he would not know how to save her.

Old Mr. Wen’s words made Wen Xinya even more determined to go out. She said, “Grandpa, I really have something on. I’ll be back soon. Nothing will go wrong.”

Actually, she was well aware that there was no way she could interfere with Si Yiyan’s affairs, and she might even burden him because she was his Achilles’ heel. However, she could not curb her anxiety nor could she bring herself to sit back and do nothing…

At least… she had to ensure Si Yiyan’s safety.

Noticing the determination in her eyes, Old Mr. Wen asked with a frown, “Can you tell me why you’re going out at such a late hour?”

He couldn’t help but be reminded of the days when Wen Xinya was still a gangster. Back then, similar chaos broke out in the city and the triads were greatly affected. Could she be involved with those people? Is that why she’s so worried and bent on going out at such a late hour? He wondered.

He did not doubt his granddaughter’s personality. However, he was sure that she definitely had connections to those gangsters since she had once led a wandering life for fifteen years. It was not that he did not allow her to stay in contact with those gangsters. In fact, he would be alright with it so long as they were upright and did not harm her.

Wen Xinya hurriedly said, “Grandpa, I’m just worried about the Gu Family. I’m sure you’re aware that I’m on good terms with Gu Junling and he’s given me lots of help too. I’m just worried because I heard that his family has ties with Black Sunday.”

She had no choice but to use Gu Junling as a smokescreen, in hopes that her grandfather would understand her plight.

Old Mr. Wen heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that she was just concerned about the Gu family. “The Gu family is part of the four major families and we’d receive firsthand news about them. I heard that they’re not involved, so don’t worry, Xinya!”

Wen Xinya hurriedly heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “That’s great! I tried to call Gu Junling several times but he didn’t pick up. That’s why I wanted to go visit them to take a look. Grandpa, if you’re worried, you may let Grandpa Tao chaperon me!”

She had to keep up with the act in order to convince her grandfather.

Seeing that she was extremely concerned about her friend and that she did not seem fl.u.s.tered at all, Old Mr. Wen conceded. After all, Old Tao had always been careful and he was aware that the Gu Family was indeed a.s.sociated with Black Sunday. Hence, after some consideration, he said, “Alright, I’ll get Old Tao to send you there.”

Wen Xinya heaved a sigh of relief, for she was indeed planning to make a trip to the Gu family home.
