Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

Zhao Shufang's expression lost its previous composure. Shen Yu's counterattack was so swift and fierce that it almost caught her off guard. She stared at the data on her computer screen, her heart growing heavier. Shen Yu countered her attacks with a cash flow report, even hinting at hidden capital issues. Although she had been prepared, this counterattack came too quickly, and the exchange of information left her overwhelmed.

"Mr. Zhao, Shen Yu's reaction was much faster than we expected." Zheng Kai stood aside, his expression serious. "Not only did he clarify the doubts about the flow of funds, he also threatened us through legal means, threatening to hold us accountable for spreading false information."

Zhao Shufang sneered, "Pursue? I'd like to see if Shen Yu can catch up." She turned her head sharply and looked at Zheng Kai, "Contact the lawyers and prepare a countermeasure. Next, we need to give Shen Yu an even bigger surprise."

"But, Mr. Zhao, if this happens—" Zheng Kai hesitated. "If Shen Yu gets stronger evidence, we'll be the ones to suffer."

Zhao Shufang's eyes were deep, and she tapped the table with her fingers. After a moment's silence, she finally spoke: "He has found a breakthrough to counterattack. He has torn a hole in my capital chain. We can't continue to rely on public opinion as the main direction of attack. We must change our strategy."

She stood up, her eyes revealing a determination, "I want to go there myself."

Zheng Kai was stunned. "Where are we going?"

Zhao Shufang sneered, "Go find something that can really influence Shen Yu."

In contrast to Zhao Shufang's impatience, Shen Yu seemed more composed. Since his statement, public opinion hasn't completely subsided, but he's already seen the true nature of the situation. The real game behind this information war isn't just a battle of capital, but also a contest of complex networks of relationships between the two sides.

"Mr. Shen, Zhao Shufang's actions haven't stopped." Lin Yuan walked into the office and reported the latest situation in a low voice. "She seems to be preparing a new counterattack strategy."

"Yes, I know." Shen Yu nodded and looked up at the sky outside the window. "Every step she took was within my expectations." His voice was calm and confident. "But she still underestimated the resources I could control."

"Mr. Shen, what are your next plans?" Lin Yuan asked.

Shen Yu turned around, his eyes piercing. "Next, in addition to funding and public opinion, I want to make Zhao Shufang understand that there is a greater force behind this. When she thinks she can control everything, reality will deal her a heavy blow."

Lin Yuan immediately realized what Shen Yu meant, "Mr. Shen, you mean..."

"It's time to use my real trump card." A cold light flashed in Shen Yu's eyes. "We must let Zhao Shufang know that the cost of fighting this battle with her is more than just money and public opinion."

Zhao Shufang arrived at a secret location she had arranged in advance—a high-end club hidden in the suburbs of the city. This was where she had maintained connections with various capital giants over the years, and perhaps it was because of this place that she was able to maintain her status in the business world.

She walked into a meeting room in the clubhouse, where several well-dressed, serious-looking men sat. Zhao Shufang nodded slightly, signaling them to start the conversation.

"Mr. Zhao, we are aware of your plan. Although we are optimistic about you, Shen Yu's counterattack is also quite strong. Are you sure you want to continue?" One of the middle-aged men spoke first, with some hesitation in his eyes.

Zhao Shufang didn't answer immediately. Instead, she sat down quietly, lowered her head and thought for a while. Then she raised her head and said firmly, "I have no way out."

"A retreat? We also know that Shen Yu is a formidable opponent." Another man spoke with a hint of oppression in his tone. "However, since you have made up your mind, we will fully support you. However, Mr. Zhao, you must understand that there is a huge force behind Shen Yu. If we continue to fight, the situation will probably become more complicated."

Zhao Shufang smiled coldly, "You are not worried about Shen Yu, but the power behind him. You are worried that my plan will affect your interests."

The men looked at each other, a hint of uneasiness flashed in their eyes, but they soon regained their composure.

"Mr. Zhao, our interests have nothing to do with Shen Yu's struggle. Since you have decided to move on, we will fully support your decision." One of the men said, with a bit of businessman's smoothness in his tone.

Zhao Shufang smiled slightly, "Then let's start preparing tonight."

Shen Yu's plan had already begun quietly. Rather than confronting Zhao Shufang's backers directly, he opted for a more covert approach: investigating her hidden network of connections.

"Mr. Shen, you've indeed been prepared." Lin Yuan paused in front of a new document and flipped through it. "These people appear to be inextricably linked to Zhao Shufang, but in fact, they're involved with multiple large business groups covering almost every industry."

Shen Yu nodded and said in a low voice, "These people have never appeared in the public eye, but they have a huge influence on capital operations. Now, we want to use these hidden interest chains to push Zhao Shufang to the forefront."

"You plan to use these people..." Lin Yuan's tone was filled with doubt.

"Through these people, I'll let Zhao Shufang know that she's not the only winner." A cold glint flashed in Shen Yu's eyes. "I'll let her understand that the power behind this is far beyond her control."

That evening, Shen Yu and Lin Yuan held another small strategic meeting and ultimately decided to fully launch the next phase of the plan. This phase would involve fully exposing the capital chain behind Zhao Shufang and launching a final counterattack against her.

"Mr. Shen, tomorrow is the moment of the decisive battle." Lin Yuan stood up and looked at the night sky outside the window, his eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness. "Everything is ready, just waiting for the order tomorrow."

Shen Yu's expression was stern as he said softly, "Tomorrow, Zhao Shufang will witness with her own eyes that all her bargaining chips will be wiped out."
