Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

As time passed, Li Ting's schedule grew increasingly packed. Every day, she faced a multitude of complex tasks. Especially as Zhao Shufang's backers gradually became exposed, Li Ting couldn't afford to relax. She knew that every move she and Cheng Jie made dictated the future, and a single misstep would mean she would be mired in an irreversible quagmire.

That day, Cheng Jie came to Li Ting's office again, holding several documents. Li Ting was sitting at her desk, intently flipping through a proposal for a shareholders' meeting. Seeing Cheng Jie come in, she looked up at him and nodded slightly: "What progress have you made today?"

Cheng Jie sat down on the sofa opposite her and handed the document to her. "This is the latest investigation data on Sun Qiming and Lin Guoqiang. We have collected some important information in the past few days."

Li Ting took the document and flipped through it quickly. As she read, she asked, "Any new clues?"

Cheng Jie leaned back on the sofa and smiled faintly, "Lin Guoqiang's financial situation isn't as solid as it appears. In recent months, his funding chain has had some issues. Through several suspicious transfer records, we discovered his contact with some underground funds."

Li Ting's eyes lit up. She put down the documents in her hand and looked at Cheng Jie intently: "Where can these underground funds be traced back to?"

Cheng Jie smiled faintly, a complex look in his eyes. "We've traced some of the funds, and it seems to be connected to someone named 'Li Xin.' Li Xin's identity is unknown, but he has collaborated with Zhao Shufang's company for a period of time, and the amount of money involved was enormous."

Li Ting frowned. "Li Xin? This name sounds familiar."

Cheng Jie nodded. "Yes, Li Xin isn't well-known in the business world, but he has strong financial backing. The information we've found shows that he has connections with powerful figures in many places."

Li Ting pondered for a moment and finally made up her mind: "I understand. This Li Xin is obviously a key figure. Cheng Jie, the next task is left to you. Learn more about Li Xin's background as soon as possible and find out the specific relationship between him and Zhao Shufang."

Cheng Jie nodded, a look of determination flashed in his eyes: "Okay, I will act as soon as possible."

Two days later, Cheng Jie brought back more information about Li Xin. Li Ting carefully selected a document from the desk, her brows gradually furrowed.

Li Xin is a little-known figure, seemingly just a businessman engaged in real estate investment. However, the flow of funds behind him and his close relationship with Zhao Shufang make Li Ting realize that this seemingly insignificant person may be her and Cheng Jie's biggest enemy.

Li Ting gently moved the documents on the table with her fingertips and whispered to Cheng Jie, "There's almost no public record of Li Xin's investments in various places. He's concealed his identity and capital flows through a complex corporate structure. I think he might be the real mastermind behind Zhao Shufang."

Cheng Jie sat up straight and said in a serious tone, "Are you saying that Zhao Shufang is just a puppet, and Li Xin is the real controller?"

Li Ting nodded. "That's right. All of Zhao Shufang's actions can be traced, and Li Xin has been operating in secret. Only by uncovering the connection between him and Zhao Shufang can the truth be revealed."

Cheng Jie gave Li Ting a deep look, seemingly mulling over every word she said. "This Li Xin is indeed difficult to deal with. His methods in the business world have always been secretive. A thorough investigation will take time."

Li Ting was silent for a moment, then raised her head, her eyes determined. "We must first investigate the flow of his funds and find a breakthrough through the network of companies behind him. Contact a few reliable channels and obtain all the financial records of the companies under Li Xin's name. The more detailed the better."

Cheng Jie nodded, "I understand. Don't worry, I will personally take care of it."

Li Ting breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more relaxed. She knew that although the investigation process was challenging, as long as she understood Li Xin's weaknesses, she could gain the initiative for herself and Cheng Jie.
