Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

The first rays of dawn's sunlight shone on the windowsill, and the entire city began to awaken from the darkness. The business world also ushered in a new day. It was already early morning when Zhao Shufang returned home from a late-night meeting. She wearily pushed open the door, tossed her coat on the sofa, and walked straight into the study.

A soft light shone in the room, and the computer screen on the desk displayed Shen Yu's latest updates. Zhao Shufang stared at the screen for a long moment, the fatigue in her eyes transforming into a deep determination. She knew that today's actions would determine her future.

"Boss Zhao, Shen Yu seems to have prepared a counterattack." Zheng Kai's voice broke the silence in the room. He stood at the door with a stern expression. "He's not only fighting back against you through the capital chain, he's also laid a trap behind the scenes to prepare for our next move."

Zhao Shufang took a sip of water and tapped her fingers on the table, seemingly planning something. "Zheng Kai, I know what he's planning. He wants to leverage the backing of those behind the scenes to gain leverage. But Shen Yu is just a pawn. There's a much greater force behind him." She paused, her gaze sharp. "We can't stop here. We need to be even more precise in our next counterattack."

"Yes, Mr. Zhao." Zheng Kai nodded. "I have already made arrangements. We can find a breakthrough from these behind-the-scenes investors and exploit their weaknesses."

Zhao Shufang's eyes grew colder. "This time, we have to let Shen Yu know that I set the rules of the game."

Meanwhile, Shen Yu remained vigilant. Sitting in his office, his fingers tapping rapidly on his desk, his gaze fixed on the documents in his hands. These weren't ordinary business reports, but rather details about Zhao Shufang's network, the capital and connections involved—the very crux of Shen Yu's counterattack.

"Mr. Shen, these people have a lot of hidden resources behind them." Lin Yuan handed a new document to Shen Yu. "We have confirmed that Zhao Shufang has deep connections with these forces. Some of them even have considerable influence in the government and legal fields."

Shen Yu flipped through the documents, his eyes growing sharper. "She thinks she's in control of everything, but in reality, these people behind her are just her talismans. Her current confidence is based on the fragile support of these people."

Lin Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Shen, should our next plan be to fully expose Zhao Shufang's network of connections?"

Shen Yu smiled slightly. "No, what we need to do is make her power a burden. Only when Zhao Shufang realizes that her backing is no longer vulnerable will it be the best time for us to strike back."

That day, Zhao Shufang gathered her team again, preparing for Shen Yu's next counterattack. Several key figures were present in the meeting room, each with a serious and tense expression. She knew clearly that Shen Yu was not someone who would be easily defeated, and the powerful force behind him made her feel a little uneasy.

"Shen Yu's statement yesterday has put our plans in jeopardy." Zheng Kai, sitting on the other side of the conference table, spoke with a hint of anxiety. "He has exposed all our loopholes through the funding chain, and he has traced almost every transaction one by one."

Zhao Shufang didn't panic, instead thinking calmly. "His discovery of these things was merely accidental. The more he thinks he has the initiative, the more vulnerable he'll be." She paused, her tone softening. "Today, I'll show Shen Yu that his victory was fleeting."

She turned to Liu Qing beside her and said coldly, "Go contact the people over there and proceed with the next step according to the plan."

Liu Qing nodded, her tone calm: "I understand. I will deal with it as soon as possible."

Shen Yu and Lin Yuan were carefully analyzing Zhao Shufang's counterattack. Although Zhao Shufang appeared calm on the surface, Shen Yu knew she was at the end of her rope. "Lin Yuan, I want to see what tricks she can pull."

"Mr. Shen, we've received news that Zhao Shufang is quietly launching a new offensive through the people behind her." Lin Yuan frowned, "They're planning to lock us into certain restrictions through some new cooperation agreements."

Shen Yu leaned back in his chair, his gaze penetrating. "If she still harbors this illusion, she's gravely mistaken. What we need to do is make her realize that her 'support' is on the verge of collapse."

He said in a deep voice, "From today on, we will no longer rely solely on external pressure. Zhao Shufang's weaknesses lie precisely in those hidden forces she over-relied on. Now is the time for us to strike back."

Lin Yuan nodded: "Yes, Mr. Shen, we are ready to expose the evidence that suppresses her at the critical moment."

Shen Yu smiled and said, "Let's give Zhao Shufang a surprise."

Just as Zhao Shufang was preparing to launch her next counterattack, Shen Yu quietly launched his own. First, through one of his partners, he successfully exposed the financial dealings of several key individuals behind Zhao Shufang. These individuals had engaged in illicit transactions with shady capital groups over the past few years. Shen Yu then disclosed these dealings to the media, sparking heated public debate.

At the same time, Shen Yu, through his legal advisor, exposed Zhao Shufang's improper relationships with some high-ranking government officials. These revelations spread rapidly on social media, causing Zhao Shufang's once strong reputation to collapse in an instant.

"Mr. Zhao, the situation is not good." Zheng Kai rushed into the office. "Shen Yu's revelations are more serious than we imagined. The media attention has reached an unprecedented level. Our business cooperation is facing tremendous pressure."

Zhao Shufang clenched her fists, her eyes darkening. "Shen Yu certainly won't let me off easy. He knows my limits, and he's targeting that."

She took a deep breath and sneered, "Well, if that's the case, I don't believe he can still control everything!"

Just as Zhao Shufang prepared for her final push, Shen Yu's next move was quietly brewing. Through an unexpected channel, he had gained access to some of Zhao Shufang's more private transactions. These transactions involved not only financial interests but also a secretive political-business collaboration. If these transactions were made public, it would directly destroy Zhao Shufang's foothold in the business world.

Shen Yu calmly reviewed the information, his lips curled up slightly: "Zhao Shufang, the game has just begun."
