Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

Comments from various news platforms flashed across Zhao Shufang's phone screen, flooding her with accusations, questions, and sarcasm. A battle she had thought she had won had now turned into a losing battle. Her face paled, her eyes a mixture of anger and helplessness.

"Ms. Zhao, Shen Yu's statement has attracted widespread attention. We... seem to have underestimated him." Li Ling stood beside Zhao Shufang, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

"Shut up!" Zhao Shufang suddenly raised her head, a cold light flashing in her eyes. "I know everything you said! Do you think I didn't expect Shen Yu to fight back? The question is, why did he fight back so quickly? This doesn't make sense!"

Li Ling's face paled and she lowered her head. "Ms. Zhao, Shen Yu's counterattack was so swift and fierce that he didn't even give us a chance to breathe. I guess he knew about our plan a long time ago."

"How could he possibly know?" Zhao Shufang sneered. "We've never revealed a single piece of information! Could he possibly know everything about us out of thin air?"

"Then how could he counterattack so accurately?" Li Ling asked in a low voice.

"I don't care how he did it," Zhao Shufang said, a ruthless look flashing in her eyes. "Now, we can only try to salvage the situation. Be prepared for further inquiries from the media. We must give an explanation tonight."

Li Ling felt uneasy, but she knew that the only thing she could do at this moment was to cooperate with Zhao Shufang to the best of her ability.

"Mr. Shen, today's counterattack was successful, and media opinion has changed." Li Jialin stood in front of Shen Yu's desk and reported with a relaxed expression.

"Well, I've seen it. Although the initial effect is good, I know that Zhao Shufang will never give up." Shen Yu frowned slightly, his eyes looking into the distance through the window, as if thinking about the next layout.

"Zhao Shufang is ruthless and will never sit still and wait for death." Li Jialin nodded. "She may launch an even more violent counterattack, but this time, whether she can turn the tables depends on whether we can respond well."

"I know." Shen Yu said calmly, "She has strong support behind her. I'm afraid she's not just relying on this evidence. I have a feeling this battle is far from over."

Li Jialin pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Shen, how should we arrange the next steps?"

"Let's observe her movements first. If she continues to fight back, we'll use evidence as a weapon to completely destroy her trump card." Shen Yu's eyes were sharp. "At the same time, we'll look for the real power behind her."

Li Jialin nodded. "Okay, I'll continue to pay attention to the media and Zhao Shufang's updates."

Shen Yu picked up the coffee cup on the table and took a sip. "Li Jialin, have you noticed that Zhao Shufang's reactions are becoming increasingly anxious, with little rational analysis. At times like this, she's more likely to make mistakes."

"So, we must seize the opportunity as soon as possible and strike a fatal blow." Li Jialin replied.

"That's right." A hint of determination flashed in Shen Yu's eyes. "This battle is not just for myself, but also to truly expose the person hiding behind the scenes."

Zhao Shufang sat on the sofa in her office, her fingers drumming on the table, her face gloomy. Although she remained calm on the surface, the anger and anxiety in her heart were like flames devouring her sanity.

"Shen Yu can't let me go so easily..." She gritted her teeth and said, her eyes filled with resentment and anger, "He must be deliberately stalling for time to wear me down!"

"Ms. Zhao, why don't we calm down for a moment and see how Shen Yu reacts next?" Li Ling suggested. "He may have won a victory in public opinion for now, but he won't be so relaxed. He will definitely continue to put pressure on us."

Zhao Shufang's eyes flickered. "Next, I want Shen Yu to understand completely that he is just a passerby. I will not allow him to ruin the situation I have planned."

"But..." Li Ling said tentatively, "Shen Yu does have some evidence that can hit us, and his counterattack was so timely that it was a bit unusual."

"Do you think there is someone else behind him?" Zhao Shufang raised her eyebrows, her eyes as sharp as a knife.

"I..." Li Ling hesitated, but she still said firmly, "He was able to grasp all our actions and even launched a counterattack during our preparations. Isn't there someone secretly helping him?"

"What do you mean..." Zhao Shufang's eyes suddenly lit up, "Is there someone behind Shen Yu?"

Li Ling didn't answer immediately, but her eyes flickered as she pondered for a moment. "Ms. Zhao, this possibility is extremely high. Judging from Shen Yu's speed of reaction and the accuracy of the evidence he has, he must have powerful support behind him."

The expression on Zhao Shufang's face grew colder and colder, her mind racing. "Since Shen Yu has such strong support, I can't just sit back and watch. Li Ling, find out who's behind Shen Yu right now. The sooner the better!"

"Yes, Miss Zhao." Li Ling responded and retreated.

Zhao Shufang sat quietly on the sofa, her eyes deep, as if she was plotting something big. She knew that there was no turning back in this fight, and only by completely defeating Shen Yu could she secure her position.

Shen Yu stood by the window, his hands behind his back, looking out at the distant street. He knew that Zhao Shufang had begun a new plot, but this time, he wouldn't give her any chance to counterattack.

"Li Jialin, Zhao Shufang's counterattack will be more fierce than we expected." Shen Yu said lightly.

"I understand, Mr. Shen." Li Jialin walked into the office with a serious expression. "The forces behind her are also quietly exerting their strength. If we don't have stronger counterattack preparations, we may be put on the defensive."

"This chess game isn't just a duel between two people," Shen Yu said in a low, firm voice. "It's a game of hidden interests. Zhao Shufang's counterattack is just the beginning. From now on, we must take complete control of the situation."

Li Jialin nodded, "Boss Shen, we are ready to respond and can launch a second wave of counterattack at any time."

"Okay." Shen Yu took a deep breath and looked out the window. "This game has just begun."
