She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

"President, are you sure you want to do this?"

Lu An, who rushed back, received a new task as soon as he entered the door, and the details of the task left him speechless.

Lu An's face turned pale, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

He scratched his head for a long time before finally speaking.

"President, why don't you put it aside? Constantly clinging to Madam like this isn't good for you."

Fu Xiuheng slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over Lu An's face.

"When can you make decisions for me?"

Lu An shuddered, quickly lowered his head, and obediently accepted the order to leave.

The assistant waited at the door and, seeing Lu An's extremely pale face, asked timidly.

"What's wrong, boss?"

Lu An sighed, closed his eyes as if he was struggling with something, and after a long while, he opened his eyes and waved to his assistant.

"Go and do me a favor."

After taking a nap, Lin Qingran seemed to have completely forgotten what had happened before, and her life continued as usual, as if nothing had ever occurred.

Seeing Lin Qingran's calm expression, Bo Ye felt much more at ease and began to diligently investigate the matters Lin Qingran had previously instructed him to attend to.

After a few days of calm, things finally started to look up on Susukino's side.

"The auction house has sent word that a mysterious buyer did indeed purchase these antiques from you back then," Bo Ye said.

He picked up the returned document and showed it to Lin Qingran.

Lin Qingran's fingers traced the antique photos on the document one by one, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

As she guessed, the box of things was indeed the one her father had sent back then.

"A mystery buyer? Unable to confirm their identity?"

“Back then, a real estate tycoon surnamed Lu bought these antiques on behalf of that mysterious person,” Bo Ye said.

"He obtained the authorization on behalf of the buyer and kept the real buyer's identity a complete secret. Nobody knows who it is. However, I investigated that Mr. Lu and have made some progress."

Bo Ye then took out another document and showed it to Lin Qingran.

Lin Qingran glanced at it briefly, and her brows slowly furrowed.

This world really is a closed loop, or you could say that nothing is more coincidental than a story.

Lu Ziming was once a well-known real estate businessman in Beijing. Due to global economic changes and soaring housing prices, he made a fortune.

However, after housing prices gradually stabilized, his business experienced a long period of stagnation.

Perhaps in order to take the company to new heights, he began to invest in other projects.

Through Mr. Fu's introduction, an investment was made in an overseas technology company.

However, this company has repeatedly been involved in scandals since its listing, including technological fraud, market monopoly, and even providing technical support to the dark web.

After these problems were exposed one after another, the company quickly went downhill.

Because Lu Ziming failed to withdraw his investment in time, he not only lost all the money he had invested, but it also affected his original business.

Ultimately, his company declared bankruptcy, and all of its ongoing real estate development projects were halted.

Five years later, the government took over those unfinished housing projects, and Lu Ziming had long since left China to settle overseas.

And so, they disappeared without a trace.

Lin Qingran saw through the true nature of the Fu family.

Such a large family, which has helped many people, made a wrong prediction only in the case of Lu Ziming?

This is an unrealistic problem to begin with.

As for what the Lu family was involved in and what benefits they gained, only those involved truly know.

Lin Qingran didn't care about the grudges between them; all she cared about was Lu Ziming.

“A down-on-his-luck businessman is most eager for an opportunity to make a comeback,” Lin Qingran said.

"Try to contact Lu Ziming and invite him back to China. Tell him that Shenghai Group has business to discuss with him."

Lin Qingran paused, then said meaningfully.

"However, we must ensure Lu Ziming's personal safety," Lin Qingran said.

She always felt that if Lu Ziming returned to China, the first people to go crazy would be the Fu Group.

Bo Ye nodded. "I'll make the arrangements. By the way, there's a business cocktail party tonight. I received an invitation. Would you like to come along, sister?"

Lin Qingran smiled at him, "Are you planning to reveal your identity?"

Bo Ye nodded slightly. "Some things can't be hidden forever. My older sister and brother need to know that I'm still a member of the Bo family."

Lin Qingran sighed and patted Bo Ye's arm.

"I know what you're after. Don't lie to me."

Now, whether it's Fu Xiuheng or Zhou Lan, their eyes are all on Lin Qingran.

Bo Ye thought that if he revealed his identity, he could share some of the blame with Lin Qingran.

Bo Ye blushed when his thoughts were exposed.

"No, I really only did it for myself."

Lin Qingran gave a helpless smile. "We can go public, but we need to be careful and not rush things."

After Lin Qingran repeatedly dissuaded him, Bo Ye finally gave up the idea.

"What about you, sister?"

"Of course I'm not going either," Lin Qingran shook her head.

She attended the party as Jiang Yuanbai's adopted daughter, a special guest, and also acted as a matchmaker.

Many people want to leverage Lin Qingran's connections to facilitate successful collaborations between companies.

However, Lin Qingran has never been very involved in such matters.

She had to consider Jiang Yuanbai's feelings and didn't want to get involved in these messy matters. Besides, managing the Shenghai Group had already taken up a lot of her energy.

However, this did not affect the enthusiasm of everyone, who sent Lin Qingran an invitation every time.

But Lin Qingran, as always, politely declined.

Just after I finished instructing Xiao Zhou to call the organizer, another young woman from the assistant team rushed in.

"President Jiang, something has happened."

Lin Qingran frowned. "What happened? Speak properly."

"Someone who bought Mr. Jiang's paintings before said that the traditional Chinese paintings sold at Mr. Jiang's art exhibition were actually painted by his students. Mr. Jiang originally told me not to tell you about this, but I don't know who leaked it online."

Lin Qingran was shocked. How could this be?

Jiang Yuanbai has always cherished his reputation. Every painting he creates, if it is signed, is definitely his work and could never be done by a student.

Moreover, Jiang Yuanbo has not held an art exhibition for ten years, and has not sold any paintings during that time. Even if someone wants one, he only gives it away for free because of their good relationship.

Why would someone suddenly dig up a painting that was sold ten years ago?
