She genuinely felt completely helpless. She had worked so hard for so long, managed to raise the money, filled with hope, prepared to hire a powerful investigating team.

She was so close to success, but in the end, she fell short at the last step.

As an ordinary person with no power or influence, fighting these people was truly exhausting. If she also had a powerful family background, she wouldn’t have been subjected to such bullying.

...

"Mr. Jun Shi, I’m looking to collaborate with you." Bai Sijia stood in Jun Shi’s office.

Jun Shi leaned against the back of his chair, grinning grimly: "Quite a few people have been seeking to collaborate with me recently. Shang Jingchen is understandable, but you, didn’t you love my son deeply?"

Bai Sijia’s eyes exposed resentment and hatred as she revealed her intention to become the Third Young Master Jun’s wife.

"That’s quite hurtful. He is too cruel to you, no wonder you hate him." Jun Shi’s tone was sympathetic. Then he tossed her a document.

Bai Sijia was puzzled. As she opened it, her complexion drastically changed.

"My God, he’s already decided to choose FSA Company as the bidding winner. What about our company? He showed great expectations towards our company. I thought our company would be selected."

"Ha, that’s where you’re mistaken. Although your company is renowned, its time in the domestic market is short. It isn’t as suitable for the domestic market as the FSA Company. Therefore, he would never choose you."

"If he would never choose us, then why did he show favoritism towards us? Making the people in ZA company believe."

"You know about Dr. Roster, don’t you?"

"He’s my mentor."

"That explains it all. He has been trying to invite Dr. Roster to serve as Chief Technical Officer for this new project. Unfortunately, Dr. Roster is hard to reach. He was hoping to use your relationship to increase the odds. But Dr. Roster refused; the plan fell through."

Bai Sijia looked pale. She recalled their casual chats; indeed Third Young Master Jun had asked about her mentor. She thought he was merely making small talk.

"So he’s just been using me. Why is he doing this to me?"

"Yes, my son is quite ruthless. If you want to take revenge on him, we can work together. But how could you help me?" Jun Shi asked, looking at her.

Bai Sijia tightly clenched her fists: "If anything goes wrong with the major project Tian Kun, he will also be in trouble! I know a secret that could jeopardize the whole project, only if he chooses to collaborate with FSA Company."

Jun Shi’s face darkened, revealing a satisfied smile. Tian Kun’s project was indeed a major one for the Jun family, also a chance for his father to test Jun Huang’s ability.

If it failed, he would seize this opportunity to defame his son.

And Shang Jingchen, he also asked for his help in finding evidence that Jun Huang was behind the attack on the Shang Family’s stocks. If successful, they could press charges against him, sending him to prison for economic crimes.

...

After two anxious days, there was still no news from the police.

However, FSA Company called, announcing they had passed the final evaluation, winning the bid.

Ye Lu was shocked.

She had assumed that since Third Young Master Jun initially used the bid as a bargaining chip for trading Yiyi, once she refused, he wouldn’t let FSA Company win the bid. Unexpectedly, FSA Company turned out to be the winner.

She truly didn’t know what he was thinking.

"Mummy, let’s go. I’ve finished packing." Ye Yuan said.

These past few days, they’d been anxiously preparing to move. They found a new, more secluded place.

The three of them stepped out with their luggage, calling a taxi.

But to their surprise, they barely reached the corner when a swarm of reporters and fans rushed towards them.
