Conspiracy

  Xia Qingkong pushed away Bachiko with a slight headache, and it was good that the wound had healed and the pain was forgotten.

  "But what comes next is your job. Investigate! Get it done now! I want to know the whole story, cause and effect, within three days!" With that, Xia Qingkong slammed shut his computer and stood up to head upstairs.

  A week later, most of the company's employees left due to rumors about the company, and some followed Li Jiang and others to Shan Kou Group, leaving only a small number of people who firmly stayed at Xing Kong Group.

  This also determined the status of those people in Xingkong Group later, and the news that Xingkong Group was about to go bankrupt also quietly spread out.

  Xia Qinglang also took a half-month leave from school because of the starry sky incident.

  Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan

  Xia Qingyang lazily leaned on the sofa, watching a report about the starry sky on TV, with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.

  Faintly, the TV broadcast a reporter's voice, "Recently, rumors have been circulating that most employees of the multinational corporation Starry Sky Group have left and are on the verge of bankruptcy. Please continue to wait for our follow-up report."

  "Xingkong Group was established five years ago and has branches in various countries. Three years ago, it set up a branch in Japan, but just three years later, there are rumors of being acquired. What is the inside story? Is Xingkong Group really unable to bear the burden and facing bankruptcy?"

  "Is the rumor about Xingkong Group true or false?! So far, no one from Xingkong Group has come forward to clarify, and some shareholders have already invested in Shanmou Group, confirming that Xingkong Group is indeed facing a financial crisis."

  “……”

  With a "click", the pale hand picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.

  "How can you be so engrossed in such a boring TV show?!" Hachijo Sayori said with some exasperation.

  "How's the investigation going?" Xia Qingkong didn't care, anyway it was just media hype.

  "Hey, you have to believe in me and Yoru's abilities!" Hachijo Tsumugi said directly sitting down beside Kaki Haruka with a somewhat resentful tone.

  "So, is there a clue now?!" Xia Qingkong raised an eyebrow, clearly skeptical.

  "As expected, it was indeed a plot by the Yamaguchi-gumi."

  Xia Qingkong was originally unclear who was targeting them, but when Li Jiang instigated them to join the Shan Kou Group, he already had a plan in mind.

  "Yamaguchi Group is a subsidiary of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and it's also a tool for whitening black money. It specializes in absorbing smaller companies to expand its own business. Li Jiang's methods are ruthless and merciless, I don't know how many companies he has driven to bankruptcy." said Hachijo Textiles, revealing information obtained from the Night Group.

  "Yamaguchi-gumi?! " Xia Qingkong didn't expect it would be the Yamaguchi-gumi, they seemed to mind their own business.

  "That's right." Hachijo Tsumugi's expression clouded slightly.

  "Do they know that Xingkong Group belongs to Qingmen?! Summer Qingkong was uncertain whether they simply wanted to acquire the company or were taking countermeasures against Qingmen."

  "You shouldn't know, it's just a coincidence."

  "Li Jiang, Liu Qing and Hu Jun were just ordinary employees of the Shan Kou Group. Three years ago, after learning that Xing Kong was opening a branch in Japan, they infiltrated the company as moles and became members of the board of directors, with the goal of grasping internal information to achieve their plan."

  Moreover, their original plan also included stealing data from the company's headquarters, but they didn't have the opportunity to do so and instead settled for sabotaging the Japanese branch.
