Lin Yu’s hands trembled as she picked up the document and read through it again. Then she threw it back onto the table as if it burned. Her breathing sped up, and her hands still trembled uncontrollably.
Her phone vibrated, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw the name on the screen. Lin Yu gritted her teeth and picked up the phone. The caller on the other side anxiously stated, ‘Young Madam, the stocks! We’re stuck! I’m afraid we’ll lose everything, let alone acquire the companies. What should we do now?”
Lin Yu collected herself and tried to sound composed as she hissed, “Are you an idiot? How could you not even tell that it was a trap?”
The caller choked, “Young Madam, didn’t you say you had inside information and that the Shi Corporation would definitely be too busy to pay attention to this matter this time? Otherwise, we wouldn’t dare touch the companies under the Shi Corporation even if we had the guts to.”
Lin Yu gritted her teeth. The caller didn’t want to continue arguing with Lin Yu about whose responsibility it was. He couldn’t seriously settle the score with the lady boss, right? He’d have no chance of winning at all. Instead, the caller asked again, “What should we do now, Young Madam? Should we grit our teeth and persevere, or cut our losses and quietly withdraw?”
“Withdraw! However, make sure you do it neatly and cleanly. Leave no trace behind. It’s best not to let Xi Cheng find out about this. I can’t protect you if he does!” Lin Yu answered.
“But Young Madam—” Shocked, the caller began to say before he swallowed the rest of his words.
“Xi Cheng and I are childhood sweethearts. Who do you think he’ll believe?” Lin Yu said detachedly.
The caller immediately assured her, “Don’t worry, Young Madam. Young Master Xi Cheng won’t know about this. The Xi Corporation is huge, with numerous things to manage; the young master can’t micromanage and personally oversee everything.”
Lin Yu hung up her phone and lightly heaved a sigh of relief. She turned her head, saw Han Yuan staring at her fiercely, and smiled sweetly at the woman. “Oh, so you heard all of that, Mom? I had no choice; Xi Cheng couldn’t give me a sense of security, so I could only make some plans for myself. I wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the Shi family to make a fortune, but I didn’t expect Yun Nan to be so tough. She nearly made me lose everything.”
Lin Yu laughed and continued unhurriedly, “Of course, the money and resources lost were the Xi family’s. It has nothing to do with me; I’m the Xi family’s good and most virtuous daughter-in-law.”
Furious, Han Yuan panted heavily, but she couldn’t move an inch.
Yun Nan parked her car and eyed the resplendent building before her. It was the most famous entertainment establishment in Rong City, and inside it was the most luxurious bar in the city, ‘Vision of Eternity.’
Lin Yu didn’t know where Xiang Yang was, or she would’ve used Xiang Yang as a bargaining chip during Yun Nan’s test just now. Since that’s the case, the one who kidnapped Xiang Yang was most likely Shi Gao.
A horn sounded behind her, and Yun Nan subconsciously turned around to see
Fang Xi and Shi Xiu exiting their car. Fang Xi was holding an exquisite cane; Ye Kun got someone to design it specially. It could help Fang Xi walk and was also inexplicably fashionable. It didn’t clash with Fang Xi’s beauty at all.
When Fang Xi stood firm, Shi Xiu subconsciously ran to help her. “See that?” Fang Xi pointed her chin at Yun Nan and said to Shi Xiu: “That woman is quite heartless, coming out here alone to have fun and relax without telling us! She has no sense of loyalty!”
Yun Nan smiled resignedly and walked over to them. “Why are you two here? Who tipped you off?”
Shi Xiu frowned. “Sister-in-law, how could you do this? We asked you to take over the company, not put yourself in danger! You clearly know there’s danger in there, so why did you come alone? Do you know how worried we were? My legs were weak with fear during the entire drive here! ”
Yun Nan patted Shi Xiu’s shoulder apologetically. “Sorry. I’m sorry.”
Shi Xiu grabbed her hand and uttered, “We’re going in there with you.”
Yun Nan chuckled, “Look at you two. Why are you guys so nervous? It’s not like they’ll dare to do anything to me in broad daylight!”
Shi Xiu looked at her worriedly. “But Xiang Yang—”
Yun Nan pressed her index finger to her lips and smiled. “Let’s go in and meet
Shi Gao. I didn’t expect her to be able to gain such a huge influence so quickly. Even Lin Yu is afraid of her. Xiang Yang has almost no contact with the outside world, and Shi Gao obviously dislikes and targets her. I can’t think of any other person with the motive and ability to make a move on Xiang Yang.”
Fang Xi nodded. “That’s right! That group of crazy women is truly capable of anything, and right now, we have to be cautious.”
“Who cares!” Shi Xiu said indignantly. “I’ll teach them a lesson today! So they think I’m weak? I’ll show them!”
Standing on her left and right sides, Yun Nan and Fang Xi unanimously had helpless smiles. The battle was bound to escalate with Shi Xiu’s participation..
