Transmigrated into the body of a villain, I became my sister's savior.

The incandescent light in the interrogation room shone on Sun Hao's ashen face.

He sat in the chair, staring blankly at his handcuffs.

The interrogating officer said, "Sun Hao, confess honestly."

Sun Hao snapped out of his daze and scoffed, "Whether I tell you or not, I'm finished. If I don't tell you, I might just cause you some trouble."

"Sun Hao, don't be so stubborn."

Sun Hao suddenly slammed his fist on the table and burst into maniacal laughter: "Hahaha, so what if I'm stubborn and unrepentant?"

His face contorted: "What kind of tricks haven't I seen? Bring it on, whatever you've got."

"Come on, let us broaden our horizons."

"Don't you dare let me down!"

Looking at the footage on the monitor, Ma Jianfeng sighed, "There's nothing we can do; we can't get him to talk anytime soon."

Lin Jianshen pondered for a moment, then said, "I'll do it!"

Ma Jianfeng raised an eyebrow: "Even with professionals taking turns explaining, he still won't give an answer. Do you think you can?"

"Even if he confesses to his crimes, he still deserves to die."

"So these kinds of tough nuts to crack are the hardest to crack."

Lin Jianshen said, "In the art of conquering a country, the best strategy is to win hearts and minds, while the worst is to attack cities."

Ma Jianfeng said, "Okay, go and give it a try."

Lin Jianshen spoke with Sun Hao for two hours. After leaving the interrogation room, he said to Ma Jianfeng, "Bring Sun Yu over to see him."

Sun Yu talked with Sun Hao for more than an hour at the police station before leaving.

The next day, Sun Yu reported Sun Hao for engaging in illegal activities and led the police to find evidence at Sun Hao's villa.

It was a USB drive that contained most of the transaction records for the core business.

And various money laundering channels, and business contacts.

The USB drive was hidden inside a cutting board.

This criminal organization has finally been fully exposed to the police.

Suddenly, the police's workload increased significantly.

Ning Wei, who had just returned from Southeast Asia, was overjoyed.

There are countless achievements to be made; you can't possibly pick them all up.

Lin Jianshen met with Jin Li again at the police station.

Finally, Jinli agreed to atone for his crime by reporting and exposing the illegal activities on the cruise ship.

Lin Jianshen assisted the police in dismantling Sun Hao's group.

Much of the evidence points to the Xia family.

The Xia family used various resources and leveraged their influence to facilitate the activities of Sun Hao's group.

At this moment, the final round of negotiations is taking place in the conference room of the Xia Group.

The long table was filled with people on both sides.

Some of the senior executives had to come from other places at the last minute.

An indescribable anxiety permeated the air.

Xia Wenshan, the head of the Xia Group, is dead.

Xia Xueyi took the old man to Southeast Asia, where he was reportedly captured.

Recently, police officers have been coming and going in the company compound, asking people questions.

The Xia family now only has three illegitimate daughters left.

At this point, they must decide as soon as possible who will succeed them.

On this matter, most factions reached a consensus—to install a puppet in power.

If Xia Rou were to be a puppet, she would undoubtedly be the most suitable.

Because she was the weakest, the most obedient, and the easiest to control.

But the housekeeper stood firmly on Xia Tingwan's side.

When Xia Xueyi left, he made it very clear that he should obey Xia Tingwan's arrangements.

The housekeeper wielded considerable influence, leading to a stalemate.

Xia Rou got up and walked to the head seat.

She was wearing a white dress, her long hair cascading down her shoulders, making her look like a delicate, fragile flower.

But the fact that she had the courage to take the head seat at this level of meeting suggests that she may not be as timid as she appears.

She said sincerely, "Don't worry, everyone. I will definitely respect everyone's opinions and do my best to fulfill my responsibilities in the future."

Many people echoed, "We support Miss San!"

Xia Tingwan stood up: "Are you done?"

Xia Rou's smile froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal: "Sister, is there anything you want to say?"

Xia Tingwan walked towards the head of the table: "Excuse me, could you move aside?"

Her walking posture was very similar to Xia Wenshan's, and many people were momentarily reminded of the shrewd and calculating CEO Xia.

Some people who had already bet on Xia Rou felt a sense of foreboding.

But then I thought, she's only in her early twenties.

People your age are still in college, what's there to be afraid of?

Oh, no, she's in college now, just a senior who doesn't have classes.

Xia Tingwan wore a black silk shirt that cinched at the waist and tucked into a black A-line skirt.

She wore two white pearl earrings.

She was dressed like a powerful career woman, exuding a strong aura.

Xia Tingwan glanced at Xia Rou and decided to give her one last chance: "This place is very complicated. If you back out now, I can save you some face."

"Don't think I don't know what you've done."

Xia Rou feigned a timid demeanor: "Sister, we're sisters, why do you need to threaten me?"

Xia Tingwan stopped looking at her and scanned the room: "When my second uncle left, he said that I would take charge of the Xia family's work. The housekeeper has already confirmed this to everyone."

"However, it seems that people do not approve of this decision."

Someone crossed their arms and said, "Second Miss, such a large corporation can't be decided with just a few words. Let's vote; that's fair and reasonable."

Xia Tingwan looked at him and smiled.

The speaker felt a sudden, inexplicable unease.

"President Yang, I know you want Xia Rou to sit in this position."

"Mainly because she promised you that once she took this position, she wouldn't care about anything else and would just be your kept woman."

Mr. Yang's face flushed red.

He jumped up, his chair sliding backward with a sickening thud: "What nonsense are you spouting!"

Xia Tingwan smiled again: "You think she only said that to you?"

Mr. Yang was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Xia Tingwan said, "Butler, please distribute these materials for me."

Her tone was somewhat lazy.

It seems she doesn't take this level of opponent seriously at all.

The housekeeper distributed stacks of pre-ordered documents to the senior executives present.

Above were records and photos of Xia Rou and different people entering and leaving the hotel.

Clearly, she used her body as a bargaining chip.

The same promise was made to different people.

The conference room erupted in uproar.

General Manager Yang looked away from the materials and turned to look at Xia Rou.

Xia Rou stood there, head down, shoulders slightly hunched, without saying a word.

He then looked at the other high-ranking officials—those who had previously stood on the same side as him, but now they all looked away.

Some people were looking down at their desks, some were pretending to flip through documents, and some were pretending to drink water.

After all that, it turns out they were each other's mistresses.

No wonder they were able to reach an agreement so quickly.

Xia Tingwan continued, "The Xia Group is a family business. It is not listed on the stock exchange, does not issue shares, and does not need to consider the opinions of shareholders."

"If we're talking about inheritance rights alone, the three of us sisters have equal rights."

She turned to Xia Yunlu, her voice softening slightly: "Sister, what do you say?"

Xia Yunlu trembled slightly and stood up: "I support Tingwan taking over as father."

She glanced at Xia Tingwan with some fear.

He glanced at Xia Rou with pity.

She's clever; she knows how to persuade the higher-ups in the hotel.

It's actually quite difficult to act like a harmless person and fool Xia Wenshan.

The three sisters were all under surveillance to varying degrees, with Xia Rou being the least monitored.

Xia Wenshan barely even checks her phone.

Even so, their daily activities are still limited.

It's no easy feat for her to become a time management master and persuade these seasoned veterans one by one.

Moreover, judging from the timeline, she started having affairs with many people while Xia Wenshan was still alive.

Can you say that someone like that isn't smart?

But you could say she was clever; she didn't suspect a thing about how Xia Wenshan died.

What level are you to dare to arm wrestle with Xia Tingwan?

Anyway, even if Xia Yunlu had the courage of Zhao Yun, she would never dare to provoke Xia Tingwan.

Xia Tingwan said, "Among the three of us sisters, my sister and I both chose me, so I've actually already won."

"But I know you'll make excuses that this vote doesn't count. It only counts if everyone here votes together."

No one speaks.

But their expressions said it all—that's exactly what they thought.

Xia Tingwan smiled slightly: "Today, I will make you all admit defeat."

"Butler, please let my guest in."

The people in the conference room started whispering among themselves, all curious about who the guest would be.

The door opened.

Two young men in suits walked in.

They were tall and straight, with a composure unique to scions of prominent families.

Someone recognized them.

Yu Jiuxiong.

宁义

The young masters of the Yu and Ning families.

A suppressed commotion arose in the conference room.

Xia Tingwan raised her voice slightly and said, "The reason we need to select a successor as soon as possible is to unite our forces and avoid being defeated in the competition among the three families."

"But now, if I take over Xia Wenshan's position, the Ning and Yu families will agree to make peace with us."

The audience could no longer remain silent, and the conference room suddenly became as noisy as a market.

They had all assumed that the Xia Group would be constantly suppressed and were prepared for all kinds of suffering.

But the Ning and Yu families just let them go like that?

That's a complete fantasy!

After a while, the noise gradually subsided.

Someone asked, "Second Miss, is what you're saying true?"

Xia Tingwan said, "The young masters of these two families are already standing here. Why don't you just ask them?"

Yu Jiuxiong said, "I am Xia Tingwan's classmate, and we are all friends. If she takes over the Xia Group, our Yu family is willing to coexist peacefully with the Xia family."

Ning Yi nodded in agreement, his tone brief but firm: "Our family is the same."

Now there was no more controversy, and all dissenting voices disappeared.

Xia Tingwan nodded to the housekeeper: "In that case, let's all sign the document at the end."

The butler took out the documents that had been prepared in advance and walked past everyone.

Xia Rou's face turned deathly pale.

She didn't understand how Xia Tingwan had managed to persuade the Yu and Ning families.

After everyone had signed, the butler handed the documents to Xia Tingwan.

Xia Tingwan dusted off the documents and smiled again: "The signatures are all there; this matter is settled."

"I hereby announce that the Xia Group is suspected of multiple crimes and is under full police investigation."

"Anyone who dares to object is an accomplice. Do you understand?"

The audience was silent.

Xia Tingwan picked up the phone and dialed a number.

They made no attempt to hide the presence of the people in the meeting room.

"Officer Cheng, I have taken control of the Xia Group and am now willing to open all accounts and access to cooperate with the police investigation."
