Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

The night was deep, a darkness spreading over the city like thick ink. Zhao Shufang and Lu Lingyuan quietly left Cheng Hui's villa, clutching the document that could overturn all of Yang Qiming's plans. Though their steps were light, the pressure within them was almost suffocating.

The plans she had just seen kept echoing in Zhao Shufang's mind, and she had a clear judgment in her heart: if they did not take action now, when Yang Qiming realized that the plan had been leaked, she and Lu Lingyuan would be the first targets to be eliminated.

"Ling Yuan, time is running out." Zhao Shufang whispered, "We must contact the people over there as soon as possible and have them prepare to cooperate."

Lu Lingyuan's eyes were as sharp as a hawk's. He turned to look at Zhao Shufang, and after a moment's silence, he nodded. "I understand. Let's go back tonight and develop a detailed action plan to ensure that this intelligence can be used to its full potential."

Zhao Shufang nodded, and the two of them moved in unison, quickly crossing the block and disappearing into the deserted streets. Only when they returned to their temporary safe house did Zhao Shufang breathe a sigh of relief, but her brow remained furrowed, clearly her worries still lingering.

Inside the safe house, Zhao Shufang stood at a table with Cheng Hui's documents spread out on it. Next to it was a city map provided by Lu Lingyuan. Zhao Shufang pointed to several locations on the map, her voice low and firm. "These are Yang Qiming's secret bases, one of which is a crucial storage point for their supplies. We must ensure this place can no longer operate, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain."

Lu Lingyuan nodded and stood beside her. After thinking for a moment, he said, "These bases should be heavily guarded. We can't just rely on brute force. If we can attack from the inside, infiltrate them, and obtain more intelligence about their network, it will be more effective."

Zhao Shufang looked at him calmly. "Do you have a way to contact those insiders? If we act rashly without solid support, the consequences could be even more serious."

Lu Lingyuan didn't answer immediately. His brow furrowed, as if he was considering something. After a moment, he spoke, "I know some people I can trust. I've worked with them before. While they aren't all on our side, driven by their own interests, they might be willing to help."

Zhao Shufang's eyes were sharp. "If these people can help us, our chances of success will be much greater. But at the same time, we must be cautious. After all, their stance is not entirely consistent with ours."

"That's right." Lu Lingyuan took a deep breath and continued, "However, we don't have much choice. Yang Qiming's people have already started to take action against us. We need a comeback. Only by completely destroying their plan can we save ourselves."

Zhao Shufang thought about it and decided, "Okay, then we'll split up. You contact those people, and I'll continue to gather more intelligence. We'll start with information warfare and gradually destroy Yang Qiming's logistical support."

Lu Lingyuan looked at her and nodded slightly: "Okay, I will contact them as soon as possible. You have to be careful and don't reveal your whereabouts."

Zhao Shufang smiled lightly, with a confident light in her eyes: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Over the next few days, Zhao Shufang and Lu Lingyuan's operations entered a period of intense and rapid progress. Zhao Shufang contacted former partners to gain further intelligence on Yang Qiming and Cheng Hui. She even risked infiltrating one of Yang Qiming's secret warehouses, successfully seizing a key document that would help her further uncover Yang Qiming's hidden financial flows and support networks.

At the same time, Lu Lingyuan also contacted those secret forces. After some twists and turns, he successfully found an insider willing to provide assistance. This person was once a member of a branch organization of Yang Qiming. Although he was now excluded, he decided to surrender because he was dissatisfied with Yang Qiming's oppression.

They agreed to meet at an abandoned factory in the city, but this place was very dangerous - not only because of its abandoned state, but more because there was no effective monitoring and security measures and it could be ambushed at any time.

"Are you sure you can contact the insider this time?" Zhao Shufang asked.

Lu Lingyuan frowned and thought for a moment, his eyes determined: "This is the only chance. If we miss it again, there may be no chance again. I want to meet him in person to make sure he won't betray us."

"Okay, I'll go with you," Zhao Shufang said softly, "but we have to be prepared for any eventuality. We must prepare for the worst."

Without saying anything more, the two quickly packed up all their equipment, left the safe house, and headed towards the abandoned factory.

When Zhao Shufang and Lu Lingyuan arrived at the abandoned factory, the scene inside alarmed them. The surroundings were eerie and silent, the empty factory seeming to swallow up all sound, even their footsteps seemed particularly heavy.

"Strange, it should be the time we agreed on." Zhao Shufang whispered, "Logically, he should have arrived long ago."

Lu Lingyuan's brow furrowed as he quickly looked around, trying to find any signs of abnormality. "He didn't show up on time. It's likely that the situation has changed." He said in a serious tone, "We can't wait any longer. Let's go in and take a look."

The two men walked cautiously into the factory, the air filled with the smell of decay. As they went deeper, suddenly, a slight noise came from the side of the factory. Zhao Shufang stopped abruptly and frowned. "Someone, get ready."

Lu Lingyuan also gripped the weapon in his hand tightly and whispered, "Be careful, it might be an ambush."

Just as they were about to move closer, suddenly, a sharp mechanical sound was heard, and then the lights around the factory suddenly lit up, almost instantly enveloping them in dazzling light.

"Zhao Shufang, do you really think you can get rid of me?" A cold voice sounded, and then a tall figure walked out from the shadows. It was Yang Qiming.

Zhao Shufang frowned suddenly, feeling a great sense of danger looming. She hadn't expected that Yang Qiming had been waiting here for a long time, intending to catch them all in one fell swoop.

"Yang Qiming!" she shouted coldly, "You are destined not to get what you want this time."

The corners of Yang Qiming's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a sneer: "I knew you would come a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to find me so quickly. I have to admit that your speed really exceeded my expectations."

"But today, you can't escape no matter what." Zhao Shufang's voice was cold, with a hint of unquestionable determination.

She knew that the storm had finally reached its most intense confrontation.
