The ancient war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in a wealthy family

Senior Ma's sinister gaze swept over the three of us and finally landed on the document bag in my hand.

"It seems that you have found something interesting..." His tone was meaningful, with a hint of subtle threat.

My heartbeat suddenly quickened and beads of sweat oozed from the palms of my hands.

I clutched the briefcase tightly, gazing back at him with forced composure. "Boss Ma, I think you should be clear about what these things mean."

He sneered, "It's just some groundless evidence. What can it prove?"

"Whether it's just hearsay or not, we'll soon know." Zhan Yu stood beside me, his tone cold and an intimidating aura emanating from him.

Detective Ke also stepped forward, blocking our way, and stared at Ma Gaodian warily: "Ma Gaodian, I advise you not to act rashly."

The thugs behind Ma's top management are ready to make a move, and the atmosphere is tense.

I took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

I know that now is not the time to confront them head-on.

"Let's go." Zhan Yu took my hand and quickly led me away from the scene. Detective Ke followed closely behind, vigilantly observing the surroundings.

After we safely evacuated the base with the evidence, we immediately returned to the Zhan family.

I knew this would be a decisive matchup.

The entire Zhan family was waiting for us, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it was suffocating.

The servants were whispering to each other, their eyes filled with worry and anxiety.

I even heard some people whispering that we might be in great danger this time. We have angered the Ma family and the Zhan family might be facing a huge crisis.

My mother-in-law sat in the living room, her face pale, her hands tightly gripping her crutches.

When she saw us come back, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, including worry and blame.

"What... did you bring back?" Her voice trembled with a hint of imperceptible fear.

I know what she means.

She was worried that if the evidence was made public, it would bring shame to the Zhan family, and she again expressed her opposition to our disclosure of the evidence. She even tried to stop us on the grounds of her own health.

I walked up to my mother-in-law, held her hand, and said sincerely, "Don't worry, mother-in-law, I have a complete plan to resolve the scandal while preserving the reputation of the Zhan family."

Zhan Yu also helped me explain and told my mother-in-law that we had contacted reporter Li and that he would help us make the truth public while minimizing the negative impact on the Zhan family.

My mother-in-law's attitude began to soften. She looked at us with helplessness and worry in her eyes.

At this moment, the elder of the Qin family walked in, followed by several elders of the family, all with dissatisfaction and doubt on their faces.

Elder Qin walked up to us and said sternly, "Zhan Yu, Miss Bai, what are you doing to the reputation of the Zhan family?"

I took a deep breath and was about to explain when suddenly, I heard hurried footsteps...

I walked up to my mother-in-law, held her hand, and said sincerely, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I have a complete plan that can resolve the scandal while preserving the reputation of the Zhan family." Zhan Yu also helped me explain and told my mother-in-law that we had contacted reporter Li, and he would help us make the truth public while minimizing the negative impact on the Zhan family.

My mother-in-law's eyes gradually softened from suspicion. She held my hand and sighed, "My child, you have really grown up. You are stronger than I thought."

At this moment, the elder of the Qin family walked in with several family elders.

They all had serious expressions, their eyes full of doubt and dissatisfaction.

Elder Qin leaned on his crutch and knocked heavily on the ground, making a dull sound, as if knocking on everyone's heart.

"Zhan Yu, Miss Bai, what are you doing to the reputation of the Zhan family?" His voice was low and majestic, carrying an unquestionable pressure.

I felt the air around me freeze. The servants didn't dare to make a sound and stared at us nervously.

I took a deep breath and was about to explain when suddenly, I heard hurried footsteps.

Reporter Li walked in quickly with his team, carrying cameras.

Their appearance made the already tense atmosphere even more tense.

I understand that the time for the decisive battle has come.

At the family meeting, I opened the file bag in front of everyone and placed the evidence on the table.

Photos, recordings, videos, and the detailed report compiled by Detective Ke all point to the crime of Ma's senior management colluding with external forces to maliciously manipulate the market and damage the interests of the Zhan family.

Senior Ma's face turned pale, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

He tried to argue, but in the face of the irrefutable evidence, his voice grew weaker and weaker, and in the end he could only sit dejectedly in his chair, without saying a word.

The elders of the Qin family and other elders, who were originally full of suspicion about us, now showed shocked expressions.

They looked at the evidence, their faces changing, and they whispered to each other.

I looked around and said firmly, "I know that making this evidence public will have a certain impact on the Zhan family, but a short pain is worse than a long one. Rather than being kept in the dark and letting termites erode the foundation of the Zhan family, it is better to take the initiative and make the truth public, demonstrating the Zhan family's determination to eliminate corruption and uphold justice."

I announced my plan: to use the power of the news media to make public how we control the spread of the scandal, and at the same time demonstrate the Zhan family's determination to fight internal corruption and external interference.

The plan was supported by most family members.

They realized that only in this way could they truly protect the reputation and interests of the Zhan family.

Reporter Li's team got to work, organizing and editing the evidence and preparing to issue a press release.

I stood aside, watching them busy at work, my heart filled with hope and expectation.

I know we have won this battle, but greater challenges lie ahead.

At this time, Zhan Yu walked over to me and gently held my hand, his eyes full of gratitude and love. "Thank you, wife." He said softly.

I looked at him and smiled. Suddenly, the door of the conference room was pushed open and a figure appeared at the door... "Wait!" he shouted.

"Wait!" The voice was hoarse and contained a hint of despair.

I looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Hu the thug, the vicious man hired by Ma's top management to create chaos and put the blame on me.

He was covered in wounds, obviously having been through a fierce battle.

He staggered to me and fell to his knees with a thud.

The conference room erupted in an uproar, everyone's attention focused on Hu the thug. My heart tightened, and a bad premonition came over me.

"Miss Bai, I was wrong! I was told to do all this by Ma! He promised to give me a large sum of money and let me..." Hu's thug cried and explained incoherently how Ma planned this series of conspiracies, and even gave out more details that we didn't know before.

He trembled as he pulled a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to me. "This is evidence of Ma's connections with external forces. I've been keeping it, fearing he'll use it to make a fool of himself..."

I took the paper and unfolded it. It turned out to be a secret agreement. It clearly recorded the evidence of collusion between Ma’s senior management and external forces, and even had their signatures and seals.

My hands were shaking slightly; this was such a pleasant surprise.

With this agreement, we can completely bring Ma’s top brass and external forces to justice, and there will be no possibility of recovery.

The elders of the Qin family and other elders were all stunned. They did not expect such a turn of events.

Elder Qin's face turned ashen, and he looked at Ma's senior executives with eyes full of anger and disappointment.

Ma Gaodian slumped in his chair, his face ashen. He knew that he was completely finished.

I took a deep breath, suppressed my excitement, and said to Reporter Li, "Take him with you. His testimony and this agreement are both important evidence."

Reporter Li nodded and signaled his team to take Hu's thugs and Ma's senior executives out together.

The conference room gradually became quiet, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing.

I looked around and saw Zhan Yu looking at me affectionately, his eyes full of pride and love.

I smiled at him in response.

As planned, we worked with reporter Li to report the incident in full.

The Zhan family showed the public an image of actively handling problems, and its reputation was not damaged but won the public's trust.

Ma’s senior officials were handed over to judicial authorities, and external forces were also investigated and dealt with by relevant departments.

My status in the Zhan family has been greatly improved, and the relationship between Zhan Yu and me has become deeper.

Everything seems to be settled and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, Zhan Yu's cell phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and his expression changed slightly.

"It's my father calling." He whispered and answered the phone.

I looked at him, feeling vaguely uneasy.

On the other end of the phone, Zhan Yu's father spoke in a heavy tone, as if something big had happened.

After Zhan Yu hung up the phone, he looked at me solemnly, "Grandpa...is ill." He paused and added, "The doctor said the situation is not optimistic..."

The news that my grandfather fell ill was like a huge rock, weighing heavily on my heart.

The Zhan family finally escaped from the vortex of scandal, but faced new challenges.

I held Zhan Yu's hand and felt the coldness of his palm, and my heart sank.

"Let's go to the hospital," I said firmly.

In the VIP ward of the hospital, I saw the old man of the Zhan family lying on the hospital bed.

His face was pale and his breathing was weak. The once dignified and vigorous old man now looked extremely weak.

My heart felt like it was being pricked by needles. Although the old man was strict with me, I knew that it was a different kind of concern.

For the next few days, we stayed in the hospital and never left.

Zhan Yu took care of the old man without taking off his clothes, his face full of worry and fatigue.

Looking at his facial features that were similar to those of the old man, I suddenly realized that family responsibility and inheritance had long been integrated into his blood.

Perhaps it was God's mercy that the old man's condition gradually stabilized.

The doctor said that he is out of danger but needs a long period of rest.

This made us all feel relieved. At least, the Zhan family had escaped disaster for the time being.

However, the good times did not last long.

Just as the Zhan family had settled down, they faced a new challenge - business mergers and acquisitions.

The Zhan Group wants to acquire a technology company to expand into new business areas.

This is a gamble. If you succeed, you will soar to heaven, but if you fail, you may suffer serious damage.

"This merger and acquisition is of vital importance and cannot be missed." Zhan Yu's father, the current chairman of the Zhan Group, said in a heavy tone.

"Yu'er, you are fully responsible for this merger and acquisition."

Zhan Yu's eyes were firm, and he accepted the challenge without hesitation. "Dad, don't worry, I will do my best."

I looked at Zhan Yu, my heart filled with worry.

Business mergers and acquisitions is an area full of unknowns and risks. He has never been exposed to it, and it is a huge challenge for him.

"I'll help you too." I held his hand and gave him an encouraging smile.

Zhan Yu held my hand in his, his eyes filled with gratitude and trust. "Thank you, I feel more confident with you by my side."

For this merger and acquisition, Zhan Yu worked overtime until late at night almost every day, looking up information, analyzing data, and discussing plans with team members.

Although I don't understand business operations, I try my best to share some trivial matters with him and take care of his daily life so that he can devote himself to his work.

After being discharged from the hospital, the old man was also very concerned about this merger and acquisition.

Although he is old, he still has a keen business sense.

He gave Zhan Yu a lot of valuable advice and encouraged him to do it boldly.

With the support of the old man and my company, Zhan Yu gradually adapted to his new role.

He demonstrated amazing business talent and leadership, leading the team to advance the M&A plan step by step.

However, things did not go as smoothly as we imagined.

The internal situation of the target company is complicated and competitors are also eyeing it covetously.

This merger is destined to be a war without gunpowder.

After receiving the task of being responsible for commercial mergers and acquisitions, I first took Investigator Lin to the target company's headquarters for investigation.

As soon as I entered the company, the seemingly normal office environment always made me feel a little strange, as if there were countless pairs of eyes peeping at me in the dark... This mysterious atmosphere made me alert.

"Investigator Lin," I said in a low voice, "Do you feel..." Before I could finish my words, I heard a cold voice behind me: "Feel what?"
