Jiang Mian learned a lot about what happened afterward from news reports and conversations with Zhan Meng.

The internal changes within Lu's Group and Dingsheng Group, and the complex collaborations on various projects.

There are also rumors in the news that a certain project was exposed for cutting corners.

The news was confirmed to be a rumor, but there is also some evidence suggesting it might be true.

The engagement ceremony between Dingsheng boss Lu Bozhou and his beloved Xu Yawei has also been put on the agenda.

Zhan Meng was furious on the phone, "And you don't know! Because of that damn project, Xu Yawei completely marginalized Song Xun!"

"Song Xun isn't busy with work anymore, so he has plenty of free time to go on dates with me. He even helped me with my thesis, but I'm still angry. Why should I?!"

"Lu Bozhou is simply a tyrant! A tyrant!"

Zhan Meng's tone was quite subjective, which was very obvious.

But Jiang Mian listened calmly, "So you mean that project was spearheaded by Xu Yawei, and Xu Yawei is in charge of it?"

"Yes! She was the one who coordinated with the Lu family."

Jiang Mian had a feeling that this matter was not simple, but she didn't say too much to Zhan Meng on the phone, so as not to make Zhan Meng uneasy.

But Jiang Mian didn't need to say much; the continuous heavy rains of the flood season, lasting for half a month, exposed everything.

On a rainy night, a building under construction collapsed. Although no one was injured, the consequences would be unimaginable if such a building were completed and people were already living in it, given its poor construction quality.

The news broke very quickly.

With such an incident, it was impossible for those above not to investigate. After going through layers of investigation, the final culmination was found in Lu Bolin, the current president of Lu's Group.

It is said that when the relevant departments came to take him back for investigation, Lu Bolin's face turned ashen and his eyes were fierce, as if he wanted to devour someone.

He stared at his wife, who at that time had a calm and indifferent expression, her head lowered, standing quietly next to Lu Bozhou.

That's all the information that can be reported in the news.

Jiang Mian learned more detailed information from Zhan Meng.

Zhan Meng was so excited that, listening to her voice, it felt like she was jumping and hopping!

"...You didn't see that scene! The look in Lu Bolin's eyes! Anyone who didn't know better would have thought his wife was having an affair with Lu Bozhou. He hated her so much!"

"So this was exposed by Lu Bolin's wife?" Jiang Mian asked.

When she received Zhan Meng's call, she was helping Xiao Shitou with his kindergarten craft project.

Jiang Mian was the best at these things, always doing them steadily and well, but when she heard Zhan Meng's urgent words as soon as the call connected, "The building in their collaborative project has collapsed!"

Jiang Mian accidentally cut her fingertip with the utility knife in her hand.

She bit her fingertip into her mouth.

"Yes!" Zhan Meng exclaimed excitedly. "I heard it from Song Xun. Oh my god, he kept it from me for so long! I didn't know anything at all. I even felt sorry for him before! I felt sorry for him every day! I thought he was genuinely loyal but marginalized, and I felt sorry for him. But it turns out he was just faking it!"

Jiang Mian was actually more eager to know the specifics of what happened, and she was a little anxious, but she also knew that Zhan Meng's way of speaking was always rambling and disjointed.

"How was Lu Bolin's wife exposed?" Jiang Mian asked, changing the subject.

He took back what Zhan Meng had said, "Oh right! I heard from Song Xun that Lu Bolin and Xu Yawei had been having an affair for a long time, and that Lu Bozhou came here to scheme against Lu Bozhou, but Lu Bozhou turned the tables on him."

"Lu Bolin's wife harbored deep resentment towards him and knew about Xu Yawei's affair. Therefore, she did not want to get entangled with Lu Bolin anymore, so she sought out Lu Bozhou for a private collaboration."

"In that project, Xu Yawei helped Lu Bolin scheme against Lu Bozhou, but Lu Bolin's wife was secretly helping Lu Bozhou as well."

The matter can be described as complex or simple.

The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows behind.

Xu Yawei and Lu Bolin thought they had outsmarted Lu Bozhou by transferring the project to his name and then cutting corners in various ways.

Little did they know that Lu Bolin's wife had secretly helped them, and the transfer contract simply didn't exist and couldn't be found anywhere. The previous registration was still under Lu Bolin's name.

"Lu Bolin and Xu Yawei have been busy with their petty schemes for so long, only to end up with nothing. They should be held accountable for this. Fortunately, there were no casualties."

Zhan Meng sighed softly, "I heard from Song Xun that he was worried about the project going wrong because of the recent heavy rains. Since the project couldn't start anyway due to the rain, Lu Bozhou gave the workers a holiday and sent them home."

"Lu Bolin and Xu Yawei have both been taken away for investigation. It seems Lu Bolin's wife has already filed for divorce, oh right!"

As if dreaming of something, James's voice became somewhat excited, "Her divorce lawyer is still your lawyer friend."

Jiang Mian was taken aback, "Gong Yan?"

“Yes!” Zhan Meng nodded. “Moreover, Song Xun said that some things are confidential and he can’t tell me yet, but the general idea is that things may not be over yet, and there will be other actions later.”

"Anyway, I'll let you know as soon as there's any new information."

After ending the call with Zhan Meng, Jiang Mian went over the details of the incident.

This matter requires time to plan, and the time span will definitely be quite long. All things considered, Lu Bozhou may have already started planning after Xu Yawei appeared.

Jiang Mian sighed softly.

If this is Lu Bozhou's predicament...

It has to be said that, whether in my past life or this life, I never get a single word of truth from him.

We still had to make inquiries from various sources; if it weren't for Zhan Meng's successful capture of Song Xun and infiltration of the enemy camp...

Jiang Mian felt that she might not know anything at all.

Jiang Mian didn't know Lu Bozhou's reason. Did he think she wasn't worthy of knowing these things, or was there some other reason...?

During dinner, her parents seemed hesitant to speak, and Jiang Mian guessed that they wanted to talk about this matter, but were holding back because Xiao Shitou was there.

Jiang Mian gave her son a bath and told him stories to put him to sleep early in the morning.

When she returned to the living room, she saw her parents sitting on the sofa, clearly waiting for her.

“I understand.” Jiang Mian nodded.

Song Wan asked, "Are you talking about the project that collapsed?"

Jiang Mian nodded, but judging from her parents' serious expressions, she felt that perhaps what they wanted to say was more than just the fact that the project had collapsed.

Jiang Mian: "Is there... anything else?"

Jiang Shan said, "I also learned about this from a friend in Luocheng. After Lu Bolin's incident, the Lu family is in chaos. Lu Bozhou has entered the scene with the inheritance left by the old master Lu, and is preparing to take over the Lu family business."

"Left by Grandpa Lu?" Jiang Mian was taken aback.

"Yes, back then everyone thought that Grandpa Lu hadn't left Lu Bozhou and his father much. Nobody expected that Lu Bozhou had such a hidden trick up his sleeve."
