To avoid the Wang family, Wang Yalin took leave from school and rented a secluded house to hide and try to find a way out.
But the very next day, someone brought the Wang family to her, confirming Wang Yalin's suspicions. Sure enough, someone had been watching her all along, and it must have been Feng Donghui again!
She can't escape, and she can't do anything. If she has any ulterior motives, Feng Donghui will definitely get the evidence and give it to the police. She can't risk her life.
She was unwilling to leave Yanjing and still clung to the last glimmer of hope, looking for an opportunity. However, she had to endure it for the time being, feeling incredibly frustrated.
Feng Donghui discovered that all cooperation between the Xu and Feng families had been terminated, and all projects in which the Xu family had invested in the Feng family had been withdrawn. He was extremely anxious and inquired about Xu Zifan's schedule. After waiting for several days, he finally managed to catch Xu Zifan at the Royal Parking Lot.
"Zifan, I have something important to tell you..."
Xu Zifan glanced at his watch, stopped, and said, "You have three minutes."
Feng Donghui hurriedly said, "The Xu family and the Feng family have always had a good working relationship. In the first half of this year, the Feng family's profits increased significantly, and the development prospects are very good. Look at those projects..."
Xu Zifan put his hands in his pockets, smiled, and said, "Mr. Feng, all of this is nonsense. The Xu family will no longer cooperate with the Feng family. You don't need to waste your time."
Feng Donghui gritted his teeth, "Are you determined to wipe them out? I've already shown my sincerity by bringing the Wang family here to torment Wang Yalin, leaving her with no way to resist. They're having a hard time now, and I'll definitely make them pay for the suffering Mengyao endured."
"Oh, is this your sincerity? Then I have to say, it's not enough." Xu Zifan pointed to the watch on his other wrist. "Three minutes are up, excuse me."
"Zifan! Xu Zifan!" Feng Donghui wanted to chase after him again, but was stopped by the security guards. He glared angrily at Xu Zifan's back, took out his phone, dialed a number, and shouted, "What are you doing? Those guys are still eating and drinking well and living a good life. Do I have to teach you how to do things?"
The other party asked a question, and Feng Donghui scoffed, "What kind of backing do they have? Isn't it only right to pay back debts? Just don't cause any deaths."
Shao Hua showed the scanned images to Xu Zifan, who was very satisfied. Feng Donghui, before he'd even reached a dead end, would vent all his anger on the Wang family, thinking that this would atone for his sins and let them fight like dogs.
When he got home, he found Xu Mengyao waiting for him and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Why didn't you call me?"
Xu Mengyao smiled and said, "I was afraid of disturbing your conversation. It's not something urgent, but I just made a plan and wanted to show it to you."
Xu Mengyao was unusually nervous, which piqued Xu Zifan's curiosity. "What plan?" He took the document, flipped through it, and raised an eyebrow. "Road construction?"
"Well, didn't I mention before that I wanted to build a road in the place where I grew up? I've been preparing for a long time, but I don't know if it will work." Xu Mengyao twisted her hands together. This was a plan she had made independently, which she had revised at least thirty times. It was the most meticulous plan she had ever put into her life.
Xu Zifan asked her to sit down and carefully read through the entire plan. It was very well done, no worse than some experienced company employees. From the information, data, plans, budgets, etc., it was clear that Xu Mengyao had put in a lot of hard work and had really understood the information from all aspects. It was an excellent plan.
He was somewhat surprised, yet felt it was within his expectations. He looked up at the nervous Xu Mengyao and smiled, "Have some confidence in yourself. You're someone I taught."
Xu Zifan patted the proposal and said, "Not bad, very well done. This charity is a bit special. I will personally sponsor you, and you can pay me back when you make money in the future. It's your way of doing your part for your hometown."
Xu Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded happily, "Thank you, brother, you're so kind!"
"Alright, stop flattering me. Go on, get some rest, don't push yourself too hard."
"I know, brother. By the way, Xiao Qing made some soup. I'll have her bring you a bowl. Don't stay out too late."
Xu Mengyao walked out the door with a cheerful step, clutching the project proposal. Her face was radiant, and she showed no trace of the way she had just returned home.
Xu Zifan smiled, loosened his tie and tossed it aside, unbuttoned the top few buttons of his shirt, and leaned back on the sofa to rest.
Xiao Qing stood at the door with a tray in her hand. She knocked three times and only entered when Xu Zifan opened his eyes. She handed him the soup and said, "Young Master, Miss asked me to bring this to you."
Xu Zifan took a sip and praised, "Your cooking is really good. Yao Yao is much better now and has even gained weight. It's all thanks to you. I'll give you double the bonus at the end of the month."
Xiao Qing smiled and said, "No need, young master. You've helped me so much, it's only right that I do more to take good care of Miss."
Xu Zifan shook his head. "I was just going with the flow, and besides, I was already targeting her anyway."
"That's not important. I was really happy to see her helpless, desperate, and struggling like she was stuck in a quagmire."
"You'd be even happier if you knew what I did today."
"What did you do?" Xiao Qing looked at him expectantly.
Xu Zifan noticed that Xiao Qing's eyes were brighter than before, as if she had become someone who could see hope again, instead of living like a walking corpse.
He finished his soup in one gulp and chuckled, "I told Feng Donghui that his sincerity wasn't enough."
Xiao Qing's eyes lit up; suddenly an idea came to her.
Thinking it over, she closed the door, turned back, and whispered, "Young Master, didn't you find out there were some problems with the Feng family? How about we give Wang Yalin the evidence when she's pushed to the limit?"
She'll definitely ruin the Feng family business, so you won't have to get involved. Madam might even turn against Wang Yalin. The Feng family business will go bankrupt under Wang Yalin's management; they hate Wang Yalin the most, so they won't seek revenge on you. What do you say, young master?"
Xiao Qing was whispering and standing a little close to him. When Xu Zifan looked up, he saw her vibrant and lively appearance, completely different from the robot she was before. It was because of him that she had changed, and it felt somewhat strange.
He leaned closer. "Are you worried about me getting retaliated against, little maid?"
Xiao Qing suddenly leaned back and slumped onto the sofa, her ears turning red. "I was worried that if something happened to you, there would be no one to take care of you, Miss."
Xu Zifan nodded in agreement, "That's right, I still need to protect you, so nothing can happen to you. Your idea is excellent, let's do it that way."
"Then I'll go back." Xiao Qing got up, grabbed the tray, and left the room as if fleeing.
Xu Zifan laughed out loud, taking off his shirt as he walked into the bathroom. He felt there was a reason why there were so many scenes of powerful men and maids in novels.
Among a group of ordinary, normal maids, the emergence of a special, beautiful, and intelligent maid with a story is like a single, shining star in the dark night.
Good feelings always begin with curiosity and deepen through interaction. The little maid he discovered was not an enemy; in fact, she was quite amusing to tease. He especially wanted to see her transform from a robot into someone with expressive features and a hearty laugh.
Xu's withdrawal of investment from Feng's company attracted considerable attention, revealing that Xu Zifan was actually suppressing Feng's. This clear signal was received by everyone, and Feng's partners withdrew their investments one after another, fearing that Feng's company would one day go bankrupt under Xu's pressure, leaving them with nothing.
The Feng family suffered a setback, with even banks starting to pressure them for loans, and their cash flow facing collapse. In desperation, Feng Donghui decided to ruthlessly eliminate the Wang family.
Xu Zifan hired a private investigator to keep an eye on the matter, report back to him daily, and collect all the evidence he could find.
He would share these things with Xiao Qing every day after he got home, and gradually Xiao Qing developed the habit of making soup for him every day, learning about the pain of her enemy from him.
The Wang family is in a terrible state. Every time they go out, they get a beating with a sack over their head, leaving everyone bruised and battered. Calling the police only results in a few petty thugs being arrested, and the injuries don't even qualify as minor. At most, they get detained for a few days. They have nowhere to turn for help.
After being beaten, they blamed Wang Yalin for being incompetent, and in their anger, they wanted to beat her up again. Wang Yalin's schemes were useless against them, so they had no choice but to turn to Feng Xiangjun for help.
When Feng Xiangjun saw how thin and haggard Wang Yalin looked, she let go of her past resentment. But what could she do? She had no say in her own family and was estranged from everyone. She couldn't control her own family either. All she could do was give Wang Yalin money.
However, Wang Li was led by Feng Donghui's men into the third-rate cliques of Yanjing, where he not only gambled even more heavily but also became addicted to drugs!
The whole family naturally put him first, helping him steal Wang Yalin's card, forcing her to reveal the PIN, and taking all her savings to pay off gambling debts.
But that wasn't enough. Feng Donghui took drastic measures against them. Wang Li became increasingly addicted to gambling, drugs, and prostitution, sinking into complete depravity. He accumulated huge debts and was chased to his home, where someone stole Wang Yalin's house! They had many ways to get involved in organized crime. They simply made contracts and authorization letters and had Wang Yalin put her fingerprints on them. Without Wang Yalin's involvement, the house could be transferred.
Wang Yalin was almost driven mad with anger, but she couldn't fight back, couldn't escape, was afraid of being discovered for doing dirty things, and didn't want to die with them. She was completely helpless.
She hated the Wang family to death, but she hated Feng Donghui and Feng Xiangjun even more!
Even the Xu family didn't do anything to her, so why should Feng Donghui? Feng Xiangjun kept saying she loved and doted on her, but she actually stood by and watched her die!
She hated them so much!
Wang Yalin was in dire straits and had no other choice but to stay. She asked Feng Xiangjun for money to go abroad again. But this time, Feng Xiangjun only gave her two million yuan because most of her assets were real estate and she didn't have that much in savings. She was worried that Xu Zhenhua would be angry if he found out, so she could only give him two million yuan.
Wang Yalin felt even more aggrieved. If she had known, she should have gone abroad as soon as she left the Xu family, then the Wang family would never have been able to find her.
What is two million compared to her previous assets? But this is the best path for her now, so she has no choice but to accept it.
Just then, she received evidence. It was evidence proving Feng Donghui's economic crimes, the problems with Feng's projects, and that Feng Donghui had harmed Wang Li!
The moment Wang Yalin saw the evidence, her heart leaped with joy! If it weren't for Feng Donghui's methods, appeasing the Wang family wouldn't have been a problem at all. Given time, when no one was watching her, she could easily use her skills to deal with the Wang family.
Once she deals with the Wang family, won't she be able to find another opportunity to re-enter high society?
She should take advantage of this period to keep a low profile, let people in the industry forget about those rumors about her, and then seize the opportunity to rise to prominence again. This is the only place she's familiar with; she should make a comeback here and let everyone know that she can be just as successful even if she's not a member of the Xu family!
The source of the evidence was unclear, which worried Wang Yalin, but after thinking it over, she realized it wouldn't harm her. The evidence was genuine and could bring down the Feng family, but the rest was irrelevant to her.
Whether someone wants to help her or wants to use her to deal with the Feng family, it doesn't seem to matter, since she hasn't broken the law.
Moreover, Feng Donghui had been relentless in his pursuit of her, and she couldn't swallow this insult without seeking revenge!
As for Feng Xiangjun, since she and the Feng family are already mortal enemies, and Feng Xiangjun can't offer much money and is also restricted by the Xu family, this lead can be abandoned.
Defeating the enemy is the most important thing. She never expected that Feng Donghui would be the one who harmed her the most; she must bring him down!
Wang Yalin knew many people, but no one was willing to pay attention to her or help her. This time, she was asking for help again to submit evidence, and since the Feng family was just a third-rate family with nothing to hide, someone was willing to help her submit it.
With ample evidence, the investigation proceeded exceptionally quickly. Feng Donghui was arrested, the Feng family declared bankruptcy, and the thugs who had harmed the Wang family were also apprehended.
Wang Yalin was unusually refreshed; she had finally destroyed the mountain that had been weighing on her head!
