Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

Li Ting put down the phone, her brow furrowed slightly, a sense of alarm building within her. This mysterious call was clearly no ordinary clue; it was the breakthrough she had been waiting for. Although she harbored some doubts, she knew this was her only chance to escape Zhao Shufang's control.

"Manager Wang, have you prepared the meeting materials?" Li Ting turned around and asked, her voice calm and firm.

Manager Wang nodded. "Everything is ready. At tonight's shareholders' meeting, all the important evidence will be laid out. Zhao Shufang won't be able to resist."

Li Ting didn't say anything, just nodded. Her eyes were still deep, as if she was thinking about something.

"Ms. Li, regarding that phone call..." Manager Wang asked cautiously, "Are you really planning to meet that person?"

Li Ting was silent for a moment, then finally spoke: "This is a rare opportunity, I must go and see. Even if what that person said is not entirely true, if there is even a slight possibility, I have to verify it myself."

"Then I'll go with you." Manager Wang suggested.

"No need." Li Ting shook her head. "I can go alone. Prepare for the shareholders' meeting and don't forget the instructions I gave you."

Manager Wang knew Li Ting's character, so he said no more and nodded in agreement.

The agreed location was a secluded café in the city. The dim lighting and quiet atmosphere made it seem particularly mysterious. Li Ting, dressed in a simple black windbreaker, looked understated and capable as she entered the café. Her eyes scanned the area under the dim light, quickly locking onto the man sitting in the corner.

A seemingly ordinary middle-aged man, dressed simply, but with an unusual glint in his eyes. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to greet Li Ting, but just watched her walk towards him quietly.

"Hello." Li Ting sat down and spoke politely.

The man nodded slightly, picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and then slowly said, "Ms. Li is indeed a decisive person. I thought you would hesitate for a few more days."

Li Ting looked straight at him, her eyes scrutinizing him. "Who are you, and why do you know about Zhao Shufang?"

The man chuckled, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "Ms. Li, if I tell you that I'm just a bystander, would you believe it?"

"I don't believe it." Li Ting answered without hesitation.

The man seemed to have anticipated her reaction and nodded slightly. "If that's the case, then I won't hide it anymore. Zhao Shufang's financial situation does have some unknown and complicated issues. I have the evidence you want."

Li Ting's heartbeat quickened slightly, knowing she had finally found the key point. "What evidence do you mean?"

"The flow of Zhao Shufang's investment funds is not as clear as she said. She transferred a large amount of funds in the stock market through a company, and the source of these funds is completely unknown." The man's voice was still calm, but every word was full of warning.

Li Ting frowned, feeling a little uneasy. "What secret is behind these funds?"

The man whispered, "Zhao Shufang is not only involved in illegal capital flows in this transaction, but also in a massive black market network. If you can get this evidence, Zhao Shufang will never be able to gain a foothold in the business world again."

Li Ting immediately understood the seriousness of the situation. "Are you saying that Zhao Shufang is involved in black market transactions?"

The man nodded slightly. "Yes. You know, she has resources behind her that you can't even imagine, and these resources are the basis for her to control the entire situation. Behind her, there is a huge network hidden."

A cold light flashed in Li Ting's eyes. "Then why are you telling me this? What is your purpose?"

The man was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke, "Zhao Shufang isn't someone I want to suppress. I just want her to know that some things are beyond her control. I know you're a capable person, so I'm handing this evidence over to you."

Li Ting pondered inwardly that this man had a point. He hadn't directly asked for anything in return; he had simply offered help. She felt as if she had found an opportunity to break the deadlock.

"Where are the evidences?" Li Ting asked directly.

The man chuckled. "Since you've decided to trust me, you'll be able to see it at the shareholders' meeting tomorrow. The evidence will be delivered to you through certain channels. By then, Zhao Shufang's dark secrets will be revealed one by one."

Li Ting nodded and accepted the crucial information. She didn't ask any more questions, but stood up and prepared to leave.

"Ms. Li, remember, once you lift this veil, you will face an enemy more powerful than Zhao Shufang." The man's voice was heavy. "Do not underestimate the power you will face."

Li Ting didn't look back and said lightly: "I understand, thank you."

The next day, Li Ting attended the shareholders' meeting as scheduled. Inside the meeting room, shareholders filled every seat, and the atmosphere was tense and oppressive. Li Ting calmly walked into the meeting room, took her seat, and glanced around calmly.

Zhao Shufang also sat in the front row. Her expression seemed a little unnatural, as if she knew that something unusual would happen today.

"Ladies and gentlemen, at today's shareholders' meeting, we will discuss the company's future development and related investment decisions." The company's chairman stood up and his opening remarks were simple and serious.

The meeting began and the shareholders expressed their opinions one after another, but Li Ting's eyes were fixed on Zhao Shufang.

She knew that everything that happened today would determine her future, and Zhao Shufang's future would also change because of it.
