Chapter 1712: Just Say So If You're Curious

Xie Wanyi only achieved his success today because he relied on Jiang Motian!

Just thinking about being scolded in public by a guy who lives off a woman made Xiang Nan furious!

She clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and said, "You all just wait!"

……

Inside the conference room—

The R&D team composed of the two companies was explaining the functions of the new app about to be released.

Xie Wanyi always handled things personally, so he attended this meeting.

But what no one expected was that Li Xingyan also came.

The appearance of the bosses from both sides put great pressure on the team members who were speaking.

Fortunately, the meeting went very smoothly.

It was just that after the meeting ended, Li Xingyan sought out Xie Wanyi alone.

Xie Wanyi crossed his arms, leaned his body against the wall, and asked, "Does Mr. Li have any suggestions regarding the meeting just now?"

"Not talking about business, let's talk about some private matters."

After hearing this, Xie Wanyi put on an expression of listening attentively.

As it turned out, the first thing Li Xingyan said was a warning: "Don't you go corrupting my sister!"

These words left Xie Wanyi feeling baffled.

But after thinking about it, he understood.

Then he explained, "I only meet with Tiantian occasionally and have a meal; how could I corrupt her?"

Li Xingyan knew very well that Jiang Motian had been much more cheerful lately.

There were also more smiles on her face.

But...

"I'm talking about Momo!"

Ever since he bumped into Li Moning and Xie Wanyi meeting last time, Li Xingyan had probed Li Moning a few times.

But every time, he returned in defeat.

With no other choice, he had to find Xie Wanyi to ask about it.

Yet after hearing this, Xie Wanyi smiled and said, "You should say this to your sister, and tell her not to corrupt others."

At first glance, Xie Wanyi's words seemed to be provoking Li Xingyan.

Li Xingyan also really wanted to lose his temper.

But thinking about what his sister was like...

Li Xingyan suppressed his anger, frowned, and said, "She has a bit of cleverness, but her life experience is insufficient, so it's inevitable she'll be deceived."

"Then you can rest assured; even if her experience is insufficient, she won't be the one at a disadvantage."

"That depends on who it is," Li Xingyan looked at the person opposite him critically and gave a soft huff, "Someone like you with eight hundred schemes, she wouldn't be able to outmaneuver!"

"But even with my eight hundred schemes, I was still left speechless by your sister."

As Xie Wanyi said this, he let out a melancholy sigh.

This sigh was truly full of stories.

Li Xingyan asked urgently, "Then what did she say that left you speechless?"

Xie Wanyi did not answer, but instead looked at Li Xingyan with a half-smile.

This stare made Li Xingyan gradually grow furious; he frowned and asked unhappily, "What are you looking at!"

"If you're curious, just say so; why beat around the bush? It's not like I can't tell you."

"Cut the crap, who's curious about you? I'm worried about my sister!"

Li Xingyan denied Xie Wanyi's claim.

But after two seconds of silence, he spoke up with an awkward expression: "So, what exactly did she say!?"

"We were just discussing how to deal with Xiaoshi."

"What kind of good solution could you two possibly come up with!?"

"Don't say that; we actually did come up with something before, and the execution was quite good."

After Xie Wanyi finished speaking, he noticed Li Xingyan unconsciously straighten his back, listening with a very serious expression.

But...

Xie Wanyi stopped talking!

Seeing this, Li Xingyan narrowed his eyes and questioned, "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you being mysterious on purpose?!"

"I don't know if you want to hear it or not; if I say too much, I might annoy you."

"I'm not annoyed! Whatever it is, tell me everything!"

"Tell you everything? Heh, why should I?"

A simple sentence, combined with a nonchalant, questioning tone, sent Li Xingyan's temper straight through the roof!

He really... wanted to beat this bastard to death!!!

But fists couldn't solve the problem.

They could only make Li Xingyan end up at a disadvantage.

So Li Xingyan ordered himself to stay calm, then used his trump card: "If you don't talk, I naturally have ways to keep you from seeing Tiantian!"

"Oh, considering your threat is so terrifying, I guess I'll tell you."

Xie Wanyi's sarcastic attitude almost made Li Xingyan lose control again!

Seriously, Xie Wanyi really knew how to infuriate people.

It seemed like every sentence he spoke could step on someone's sensitive nerves.

And grind them repeatedly!

Those who couldn't handle it would get into a fight with him, and then fall into the trap he had prepared.

As for those who could handle it... like Li Xingyan, he would appear calm on the surface, but his chest would be stifled to death.

In short, no one could get the better of him.

Li Xingyan made a mental note against Xie Wanyi, then gritted his teeth and ordered: "Speak. The. Point!"

"Previously, Li Moning reminded me to play the victim in front of Tiantian, so that Tiantian wouldn't pay excessive attention to Xiaoshi. Then, we succeeded; Xiaoshi is very busy now, and it has been a while since he met with Tiantian."

This time, Xie Wanyi did not try to infuriate anyone, but instead stated the main point.

Li Xingyan also slowly calmed down.

Then he gave his assessment: "But it's not a true success, is it? It's just making Tiantian jump from one fire pit into another."

As Li Xingyan spoke, he glanced at Xie Wanyi.

He seemed very dissatisfied with this pit.

Xie Wanyi, however, had no change in emotion.

He continued calmly comparing his differences with Xiaoshi: "Setting aside whether I am a pit or not, at the very least, you understand me and know my background, but what about Xiaoshi?"

Xie Wanyi paused for a moment before continuing: "I reinvestigated Xiaoshi and discovered that this person is very problematic."

"I also feel he is problematic, but I haven't been able to find anything. You... can find results?"

"Mm, I found them."

"Really?"

Li Xingyan's eyes were full of skepticism.

Xie Wanyi then said: "Our resource networks are different, so the results are naturally different."

Although Xie Wanyi did not say it explicitly.

The implication in his words was that... Li Xingyan's capability was not good enough.

Li Xingyan laughed outright.

Then he said coldly: "It's better not to be too confident in life, and besides, you aren't the only one in the world who is good at investigating!"

"But you went through so much trouble and didn't find any problems; isn't that a problem in itself?"

Li Xingyan opened his mouth, wanting to retort.

But what was the point of such a retort?

It was just a waste of time!

Li Xingyan was tired of verbal disputes.

Not wanting to waste any more emotional energy, he asked directly: "What exactly did you find out?"

Xie Wanyi saw Li Xingyan's emotional fluctuation.

But almost in an instant, he had controlled himself.

It must be said, he was a person with great self-control.

However, facing Li Xingyan's request...

"Although our positions are aligned, I paid quite a price to investigate Xiaoshi, so... I won't be sharing it."

"I understand. Whatever money you spent, I can pay you back every cent."

"You misunderstood. The price I spoke of was not money, but... a human life."

The aura around Xie Wanyi suddenly turned a few degrees colder.

Li Xingyan quietly raised his eyes and took a look at him.
