Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

Zhao Shufang's plan seemed to be well-organized, but Shen Yu was not without precautions. His elite team had already begun to lay out their plans, preparing to find a breakthrough from Zhao Shufang's actions.

Shen Yu sat at his desk, his gaze sharp. In his hands was a report, a detailed profile of Zhao Shufang that had just been sent by the Intelligence Department. After quickly scanning it, he looked up and said to Li Jialin, "Her methods may be sharp, but there are always flaws. The key points mentioned in this report should be our breakthrough points for counterattack."

Li Jialin nodded and handed the document to Shen Yu. "Mr. Shen, this is the flow of funds we have tracked. The money flowed into several overseas accounts, one of which has a clear connection to the forces behind Zhao Shufang."

Shen Yu took the document and flipped through it, a sneer on his face. "She really is someone with a backer. She used this money to bribe the media and manipulate public opinion, just to get us into trouble."

"However," Li Jialin paused, "our people have discovered that her funding chain is unstable. As long as we apply enough pressure, she may lose her composure."

Shen Yu nodded. "That's good news. But simply disrupting her funding chain isn't enough. We need to make her partners lose trust in her."

Li Jialin pondered for a moment. "Zhao Shufang's biggest weakness is that she's too high-profile. She left many traces when she was trying to win over resources, and these traces are enough for us to find a breakthrough."

"Very good," Shen Yu said coldly, "Then start with these traces and prepare a detailed counterattack plan. The timing must be precise, and she must not have a chance to breathe."

"I understand, Mr. Shen. I'll arrange it right away." Li Jialin said and stood up to leave.

Shen Yu leaned back in his chair, looking out the window with a deep gaze. He knew in his heart that this game was not just for the company, but also a battle of honor.

Meanwhile, Zhao Shufang was closely monitoring Shen Yu's movements. The atmosphere in her office was tense. Li Ling stood beside her, holding a newly compiled intelligence document.

"Ms. Zhao, Shen Yu's team seems to have started fighting back. They are tracking the flow of our funds and trying to attack us through this entry point." Li Ling's tone was filled with some worry.

Zhao Shufang smiled, appearing confident. "Shen Yu is indeed an old fox, but he is naive to think that he can sway me with just these things."

"However, the flow of funds is indeed a hidden danger for us. Do we need to cover it up?" Li Ling asked tentatively.

"No need," Zhao Shufang shook her head. "We've already prepared a backup plan. Let him continue his investigation. When he thinks he's found a breakthrough, we'll reverse the situation and make him suffer the consequences."

Li Ling nodded, "Miss Zhao is indeed very smart."

Zhao Shufang's eyes turned cold, and her voice was low but full of unquestionable majesty. "This game has just begun. I won't let Shen Yu turn the tables easily. Also, go notify the people over there and start the next plan as soon as possible."

"I understand. I'll do it right away." Li Ling turned and left.

Zhao Shufang leaned back in her chair, her eyes becoming particularly deep. "Shen Yu, I want to see how long you can hold on."

Meanwhile, Duan Yu was caught in a dilemma. He knew he couldn't completely side with Shen Yu, nor could he allow Zhao Shufang's plan to continue. His choice would directly determine the outcome of the situation.

Assistant Xiao Zhang pushed the door open and walked in. "Mr. Duan, I just received a message that Miss Zhao wants to meet with you alone."

Duan Yu frowned slightly, "What does she want to do?"

Xiao Zhang hesitated for a moment and said, "I think I want to discuss the specific details of the cooperation with you."

"Cooperation?" Duan Yu sneered, "She simply wants to use me."

"Then...how do you plan to respond?" Xiao Zhang asked cautiously.

Duan Yu pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Since she wants to meet me, then let's meet. However, I want to see what she wants from me."

That night, Duan Yu and Zhao Shufang met in a high-end club. The lights in the room were soft, but they couldn't hide the tension between them.

"Mr. Duan, thank you for coming here." Zhao Shufang picked up the wine glass and spoke with a smile.

Duan Yu looked at me coldly and nodded slightly, "Miss Zhao, you didn't come to me just to drink, right?"

Zhao Shufang chuckled. "Mr. Duan is indeed a straightforward person. Then I won't beat around the bush. I want to know, how much do you trust Shen Yu?"

"Trust?" Duan Yu sneered, "In the business world, what is trustworthy?"

"Well said," Zhao Shufang put down her wine glass, leaned forward slightly, and looked at him with burning eyes. "In that case, why don't we join forces?"

"Join forces?" Duan Yu raised an eyebrow. "What does Miss Zhao mean?"

"It's very simple," Zhao Shufang smiled slightly, "You and I each get what we need. I'll help you gain a larger market share, and you just need to help me contain Shen Yu."

Duan Yu looked at her with a lukewarm tone, "That sounds good, but Miss Zhao, this kind of thing is not suitable to be discussed openly."

Zhao Shufang was not annoyed, but smiled more calmly, "Mr. Duan, I believe you will make a wise choice."

Duan Yu didn't respond directly, but simply took a sip from his wine glass. He knew in his heart that this cooperation might be an opportunity, but it could also be a trap.

After the meeting, Duan Yu walked alone in the corridor outside the club, Zhao Shufang's words replaying in his mind. He knew that every step forward was crucial, and the slightest mistake could lead to disaster.

The night wind blew by, and he stopped, his eyes determined. "Zhao Shufang, your calculations are good, but I will never let you control me."
