Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

Sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains. Shen Yu sat in his office, his eyes still solemn. Zhao Shufang's reaction was far more intense than he had initially anticipated. She wasn't just a simple opponent; there seemed to be a more complex situation behind her. Now, he had to find a breakthrough, seize her weakness, and finally defeat her.

"Zhao Bin, where are the documents?" Shen Yu's low voice broke the silence.

Zhao Bin walked into the office and handed a document to Shen Yu. "Mr. Shen, this is some information we've analyzed from Zhao Shufang's old bills." He gently flipped open the file. "Some of the funds seem to have flowed into an account we can't confirm at the moment. Those funds are linked to some unknown companies and individuals, and they're likely closely related to her current source of funds."

Shen Yu frowned slightly and took the document to examine it carefully. "Who are these people behind this?"

Zhao Bin smiled wryly and said, "It hasn't been fully confirmed yet, but based on preliminary clues, it's speculated that these companies and individuals may be connected to certain underground forces, or even to some people within the government."

"Government?" Shen Yu's eyes narrowed. "You mean, Zhao Shufang actually found such support behind the scenes?"

Zhao Bin nodded. "That's right. This situation is no longer a simple business confrontation, but a political game."

A cold light flashed in Shen Yu's eyes. "I see. It seems her ambitions are not limited to business."

"Yes." Zhao Bin paused and whispered, "Mr. Shen, how are you going to deal with this situation?"

Shen Yu sighed softly, his eyes still fixed on the document. "I have to find an opportunity to make her reveal the true power behind her. If she can really control so many people behind the scenes, then we can also find her weakness. It just takes more time."

Meanwhile, Chen Dong wasn't as calm as Shen Yu. He knew Zhao Shufang was no longer the woman who relied solely on money and superficial tactics, but had gotten herself into a more complicated situation.

Chen Dong stood by the window, gazing out at the street, his expression grave. Zhao Shufang's call still echoed in his ears, the threatening tone making him feel an unprecedented pressure. Although he repeatedly stressed that he would proceed according to the plan, he knew that he no longer had many options.

"This game is no longer just a contest between Shen Yu and Zhao Shufang, but a duel between me and the two of them." Chen Dong whispered to himself.

He turned and walked to the desk and picked up an envelope. Inside the envelope was a secret agreement - it was a contract signed between him and Zhao Shufang. Although it looked like a business cooperation on the surface, it contained key evidence that could destroy Shen Yu.

"If I can expose this agreement, Shen Yu will definitely be in trouble." Chen Dong's eyes became firm. He knew that although this agreement involved some high-level transactions, if it was made public, Shen Yu might be dragged into a political quagmire, and Zhao Shufang, as the manipulator behind the scenes, would also suffer a devastating disaster.

However, Chen Dong also knew that he couldn't simply rely on this agreement to decide everything. Zhao Shufang's reaction was far calmer and more rigorous than he had imagined, and he himself did not have enough power to directly challenge Shen Yu's power.

"How should I choose?" Chen Dong pondered for a long time, his eyes slowly falling on a button next to the phone. Finally, he pressed the button without hesitation.

Meanwhile, in Zhao Shufang's office, she realized she was running out of time. Shen Yu and Chen Dong were both crucial pieces in her plan, but now the situation had become incredibly complicated. Shen Yu, in particular, was counterattacking at a speed far beyond her expectations.

"How do we get Shen Yu out?" Zhao Shufang stood by the window, her eyes calm. She knew the only leverage she had to defeat Shen Yu was the powerful force behind him. She couldn't delay any longer; she had to make a decision.

Suddenly, her cell phone vibrated. Zhao Shufang looked down at the caller ID and saw it was one of her close friends, Zheng Kai.

"Mr. Zhao, I have received some information about Shen Yu's movements." Zheng Kai's voice was low and a little nervous.

"Speak." Zhao Shufang's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"He's already started investigating the flow of funds behind you, specifically that remittance." Zheng Kai hesitated. "However, Shen Yu doesn't seem to fully grasp your secrets yet. His investigation didn't lead to that clue, but his attitude has become very tough."

Zhao Shufang's expression changed, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes. "He dares to investigate me? Isn't he afraid of seeking death?"

"He's not afraid." Zheng Kai said calmly, "Shen Yu's people have already started contacting those hiding in the shadows, and they will soon discover the true power behind you."

Zhao Shufang was silent for a moment, then smiled coldly, "If that's the case, then let them try to find it first. Then I want to see who will lose."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Shufang's face became even gloomier. She knew that she had no more time to waste. If she couldn't completely suppress Shen Yu in the next few days, then her plan would completely fail.

"Shen Yu, you'd better prepare for a bloody battle," Zhao Shufang whispered, tapping her fingers lightly on the table. "I won't let you win this round so easily."

Shen Yu had no idea what Zhao Shufang was secretly plotting, but he could already feel the dual pressure from both her and Chen Dong. Whether in business or politics, Zhao Shufang was clearly more than just a commercial competitor; everything behind her posed a multitude of unknown dangers. Chen Dong, meanwhile, seemed to be beginning to realize that he wasn't Zhao Shufang's only pawn, but that Shen Yu was her true target.

"I'm afraid this chess game is no longer just a battle for me." Shen Yu muttered to himself, a deep smile appearing on his face. "Since that's the case, I'll let them taste the taste of counterattack."

A cold light flashed in Shen Yu's eyes. He knew that every step now was the key to victory or defeat. And he would never let any opponent go easily.
