She then began to tell the story, starting with Wang Zehao and Zhao Yuanyuan secretly dating behind her back. She recounted the car accident that killed her parents and the story of how Wang Zehao was the one who replaced her child. She presented all the evidence that the original owner had repeatedly ignored or refused to accept, such as intimate photos and even CCTV video footage of the two villains, as well as the audio of the conversation from that morning when Wang Zehao had begged her to transfer the shares.
She also presented the evidence obtained from the private detective—a communication record between the truck driver and Zhao Yuanyuan.
Xinqiang listened intently to her best friend's calm account, the expectation in her heart that her old suspicions would one day be proven true.
"I thought so. That doctor can't be trusted. I always warned her, but she never believed me."
Chen Mi feigned guilt, tears welling up in her eyes to make her appear like the soft, easily manipulated person the original owner had always been.
"Oh, who would have thought he would turn into such a person?"
She then lowered her head and cried.
"Enough," Xinqiang interrupted, quickly comforting her. "Don't cry anymore... I'll be by your side. I'll help you get revenge for your father and mother, and get your child back."
Chen Mi wiped her tears and said happily, "Really? Can you help me then? I want you to check all my assets to see if anything is amiss. I brought a list of everything. Especially concerning the baby, I need you to be an intermediary to help me investigate this matter. Try to use your company contacts to check this out: Five years ago, after I gave birth, where did the Wang family send the baby? And if he was sent to an orphanage, where was he sold to?"
"Can you do that?"
Xinqiang nodded firmly, her eyes full of determination. "Don't worry. I have detectives at my disposal. There are only a few orphanages in Taipei. Tracing where they obtained a newborn five years ago will be very easy."
Chen Mi shook her best friend's hand. "Thank you, Xinqiang."
"It's nothing. If there's any progress, I'll call you immediately. As for the property, give me a few days. I'll check it all myself. You can rest assured."
"Mmm."
…
Three days later, in the company lounge,
Xinqiang unfolded a thick file in front of Li Kexin. Her expression was tense and concerned as she had to deliver bad news to her best friend. "It's terrible. Take a look."
She handed the documents to Chen Mi, detailing Wang Zehao's years-long manipulation, which had slowly involved transferring a large amount of assets into his possession.
"Some of them have already been transferred to overseas banks in the form of bonds, probably more than 100 million dollars."
Chen Mi pretended that she couldn't accept it. "So, if that's the case, can anything be recovered?"
Xinqiang shook her head gently. "Regarding the property that Wang Zehao embezzled, we probably can't do much. Even if we sue, it will take a long time, and we're not sure how much we'll get back, because we'd have to waste time forcing Wang Zehao to return the money, especially the assets transferred to Switzerland. Our laws don't apply there."
Chen Mi looked up, her face pale, and met her friend's gaze. Xinqiang replied sympathetically, continuing with a worried tone. Even though she knew Wang Zehao was a bad person, she couldn't have imagined he would be so utterly insidious.
"But what's even more shocking... I investigated and found that Wang Zehao arbitrarily used your father's credit to issue bonds. A huge amount of money has disappeared without a trace. This matter involves several directors who were colluding with him to defraud the company."
"What?!" Chen Mi pretended to raise her hand to cover her mouth. Her eyes widened, as if the whole world was about to collapse. In reality, she was not surprised at all by the bastard's behavior. Because Wang Zehao not only deceived Li Kexin's love but also destroyed her father's dreams and intentions. As Marketing Director, he had defrauded company funds.
"How could they... do this to me?" She raised her hand to cover her face, pretending to cry. After that, she moved on to the next step of her plan: asking her best friend to help her carry out the revenge she had promised Li Kexin. This involved retrieving the more than five hundred million Taiwan Dollars hidden in the villainous husband's secret office safe.
Xinqiang reached out and patted her best friend's shoulder. After a long period of comforting conversation, Li Kexin stopped crying.
