Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

The atmosphere in Shen Yu's office grew increasingly heavy. Negative news about Duan Yu continued to air on television, and major media outlets were harshly reporting on him. Whether it was about gambling, illegal transactions, or his collaboration with shady figures, Shen Yu felt unprecedented pressure.

Li Jialin stood in front of Shen Yu's desk, her expression solemn. "Boss Shen, the situation isn't looking good. Zhao Shufang was clearly prepared this time. Her revelations have sparked widespread public attention. Duan Yu's name has practically been linked to these illegal transactions. The media has begun to exaggerate the situation, and public opinion is no longer entirely on our side."

Shen Yu frowned, his expression as stern as steel. "She was able to master these materials so quickly."

Li Jialin calmly analyzed, "I suspect Zhao Shufang may have some hidden resources. Not only did she obtain Duan Yu's personal information, she was also able to quickly and accurately grasp his weaknesses, and even disclosed this information to the media through internal channels in the shortest possible time."

"There must be a powerful force behind her." Shen Yu said in a low voice, "However, this is not enough for her to win completely."

"Mr. Shen means..." Li Jialin's eyes flickered, as if waiting for his instructions.

Shen Yu tightly gripped the folder on his desk, a fierce look flashing in his eyes. "Fight back, we must fight back immediately. We can't just sit there and wait for death. If Zhao Shufang thinks this will force us to retreat, then she is wrong."

Li Jialin nodded, "So what is Mr. Shen going to do?"

"Let's start with the media," Shen Yu said coldly. "I've already sent people to contact some influential media outlets, bribe them, and divert the topic. At the same time, we'll find the source of this information and see if we can strike back at her through legal means. Besides that, we also need to do something about Duan Yu."

"Duan Yu's case is very complicated at the moment. If we rush to fight back, it may trigger even greater unfavorable public opinion." Li Jialin raised a concern.

A hint of determination flashed in Shen Yu's eyes. "There's no rush, but we must be decisive. Duan Yu can't fall. We can't let Zhao Shufang think we'll give in so easily."

Li Jialin knew Shen Yu's determination and nodded, "I understand, Mr. Shen. I'll make the arrangements right away."

Under Shen Yu's instructions, Li Jialin quickly began to plan a counterattack. Meanwhile, Shen Yu sat in his chair and took a deep breath. He understood that this battle would be a protracted tug-of-war. He would not only have to deal with Zhao Shufang's constant attacks, but also with the uneasiness and doubts within his own team.

Zhao Shufang was standing by the window, gazing at the scene outside with a barely perceptible smile on her face. Duan Yu's negative information was frequently reported by the media, and the pressure Shen Yu faced was imaginable. She finally saw the light of hope for a counterattack.

"Ms. Zhao, Duan Yu's reaction has started to come. They have contacted a lot of media and seem to be preparing to launch a counterattack against us." Li Ling quickly walked into the office and reported in a low voice.

"Fight back?" A cold light flashed in Zhao Shufang's eyes. "Shen Yu won't just sit there and wait for death. He will definitely fight back."

"Ms. Zhao, how do you plan to respond?" Li Ling asked.

"Fight back? Then we'll put more pressure on him." Zhao Shufang's tone was icy. "Go and make arrangements. Let's make all the information we have public. Not just Duan Yu's, but Shen Yu must be implicated as well."

"But Shen Yu's information is relatively confidential and not so easy to obtain." Li Ling frowned.

Zhao Shufang sneered, "We don't necessarily need to obtain all the evidence. It's enough to destroy their image and use the power of public opinion to increase the pressure on them. Shen Yu and Duan Yu, if they don't dare to turn over, then I will make them live in stigma for the rest of their lives."

"I understand." Li Ling nodded and quickly went to implement Zhao Shufang's order.

Zhao Shufang turned around and sat back in her office chair, sighing deeply. She knew in her heart that this game was not only for revenge, but also to completely tear off the masks of Shen Yu and Duan Yu and destroy their business empire.

Shen Yu stared at the computer screen in front of him. Displayed on the screen was a piece of information from the dark web. This information had just been delivered by their intelligence agent, and it contained information about Zhao Shufang's background and some hidden cooperative networks. A sneer flashed in Shen Yu's eyes. Zhao Shufang wanted to play a propaganda game, and he could definitely confront it head-on.

"Li Jialin, contact several reliable media outlets immediately and prepare articles to fight back," Shen Yu said coldly.

"Mr. Shen, how do you plan to respond to Zhao Shufang?" Li Jialin asked doubtfully.

"We need to change Zhao Shufang's direction and put her in a difficult position. Given her current attitude, she'll definitely continue to put pressure on us. We can expose her hypocrisy by exposing her business partnerships," Shen Yu analyzed calmly. "We need to show her partners that continuing to side with her will only bring them trouble."

Li Jialin's eyes lit up, "Mr. Shen, what do you mean——"

"Yes, get her cooperation network and disclose her unknown transactions." Shen Yu's mouth curled up into a sneer, "By then, Zhao Shufang will definitely be unable to protect herself."

"I understand." Li Jialin nodded. She was full of confidence in Shen Yu's plan.

Shen Yu's gaze fell out the window again. It seemed as if all his former competitors had been trampled under his feet. Now, although Zhao Shufang was powerful, in his eyes, she was just a small obstacle.

"Zhao Shufang, since you want to play, I will accompany you to the end." Shen Yu whispered to himself, with a deep light flashing in his eyes.

The screen of Zhao Shufang's phone suddenly lit up, and Li Ling's message arrived as promised: "Ms. Zhao, Shen Yu has begun to take action. They have begun contacting some media outlets to prepare for a counterattack. It seems that they have a new countermeasure."

Zhao Shufang smiled coldly, "Shen Yu is indeed worthy of being an old fox in the business world. He actually started to fight back. But this is interesting."

"Ms. Zhao, what are you going to do?" Li Ling asked.

"Keep applying pressure." Zhao Shufang's voice was filled with undeniable coldness. "We can't give Shen Yu a chance to breathe. We must let him know that we are the ones in control."

Her eyes grew deeper, as if she had already seen the next move in the game. Shen Yu and Duan Yu had both overestimated their abilities, and she was about to take it all.

"Li Ling, prepare new information and expose their dark secrets one by one. Then, we will wait and see how they respond." Zhao Shufang raised a cold smile at the corner of her mouth.
