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

Bo Ye nodded helplessly, knowing that once Lin Qingran made a decision, it was difficult to change it.

"Then you should also take care to rest, don't overwork yourself. If there's anything you can't handle, be sure to tell me, I'll always help you."

Lin Qingran smiled slightly. "With you here, I feel much more at ease. By the way, how's the situation at the manor outside? Are there any strange people there?"

Susukino quickly replied, "Everything is normal at the moment. Everyone is on high alert, and security measures have been strengthened. You don't need to worry."

"That's good." Lin Qingran sighed softly, then looked down at the documents in her hand, her brows furrowing again.

Just then, Lin Qingran's phone rang, breaking the silence in the study.

She glanced at the caller ID; it was another unknown number.

A sense of doubt welled up in my mind, and after hesitating for a moment, I answered the phone.

A deep, hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, as if the speaker was deliberately lowering their voice, making it impossible to recognize their true identity.

"Lin Qingran, it seems you still haven't learned your lesson? I've already warned you, but you're still stubborn. I advise you to stop right away, or you know the consequences."

Lin Qingran's eyes sharpened, she gripped her phone tightly, and retorted without fear, "And who are you? Hiding like a coward, you think you can make me back down with just a few threatening words? Dream on! Now that I've come this far, I will definitely get to the bottom of everything!"

The other party seemed to be angered by Lin Qingran's tough attitude, and his voice became even more sinister.

"Fine, very well! Since you won't listen to reason, then don't blame me for being impolite! Just wait and see, you'll soon learn what the word 'regret' means!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Susukino overheard the phone conversation and his expression turned extremely ugly.

“These people are too arrogant. We need to find a way to deal with them. We can’t let them keep threatening us like this.”

Lin Qingran took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"The more they act this way, the more it shows that what we've found has touched a nerve with them. However, we do need to be more careful and not give them any opportunity to exploit us."

Moreover, so far the other party has only made a warning call and has not taken any substantial action.

What Lin Qingran needs to do now is to ensure the safety of those around her to the greatest extent possible, and then investigate the truth as soon as possible.

She stood up and paced back and forth in the study, constantly thinking of a solution.

Suddenly, she stopped and looked at Bo Ye, a resolute glint in her eyes.

"Susukino, we can't just sit here and take the hits; it's time to take the initiative."

If some of the tricks can be used on Fu Xiuheng, then why not take this opportunity to give others a warning as well?

A cold glint flashed in Lin Qingran's eyes. "I'm going to hold a press conference to officially reveal my identity and some of the shady dealings we've uncovered about them. I'll put all these things in the open and let everyone see their true colors!"

Bo Ye said with some concern, "Sister, isn't this too risky? Once it's made public, it might cause an even bigger uproar. I'm afraid that Zhao Quanying might do something desperate."

Lin Qingran gently patted Bo Ye's shoulder, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Moreover, once some things are made public, the people who should be worried are no longer them.

Looking into Lin Qingran's determined eyes, Bo Ye's worries gradually dissipated.

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you."

Bo Ye turned and strode out of the study, while Lin Qingran sat back down in her chair and picked up the document about the death of Zhao Quanying's wife once again.

She wanted to see what kind of person was hiding behind her, constantly threatening her, who dared to provoke her time and time again.

She wanted to see how Fu Xiuheng would react when he learned that she was the president of Shenghai Group.

The press conference was scheduled for three days later, and not only were well-known journalists from all over the country invited, but it was also broadcast live online.

In the lounge, Lin Qingran silently looked at her speech, waiting for Bo Ye to call her.

But instead of Bo Ye, she was greeted by Xiao Zhou.

Xiao Zhou, travel-worn and still catching his breath, pushed open the door.

"President Jiang, something's happened!"

Lin Qingran's heart skipped a beat, and she abruptly stood up.

"What is it? Don't stammer when you speak."

"Shen Pei-an has made his move. Our factory in Nancheng has been vandalized. I just received the news and immediately sent people to investigate. Sure enough, it was Shen Pei-an who caused this commotion!" Xiao Zhou said.

Lin Qingran gasped.

She knew that Fu Xiuheng's composure over the past few days must be because he had already prepared a backup plan when he sent people to attack the Soviet Union.

As expected, it was indeed thanks to Shen Pei'an's influence.

And as she expected, Shen Pei-an was even more anxious than Fu Xiu-heng, because he was afraid of implicating the Lin family and the business he had built up.

I never imagined that Shen Pei-an could be so shameless!

The project in Nancheng is key to Shenghai Group's transformation.

Over the past two years, whenever she has time, Lin Qingran visits government offices, builds connections, and facilitates transitions to agricultural and livelihood-related projects.

The factory, located in the southern part of the city, employs more than half of its workers, all of whom are unemployed rural residents from the southern part of the city.

This can be considered Lin Qingran's pledge of allegiance.

If the factory can produce results within three years, more resources will naturally be invested in Shenghai Group in the future.

But now, Shen Pei'an has become so shameless as to harm ordinary people.

Lin Qingran asked with a solemn expression.

Are there any casualties?

"Only one leader sustained minor injuries in the altercation, but he was one of our men, so it's not a big problem. So far, it hasn't affected the workers. However, they sent a lot of people who damaged a lot of factory machinery, and the losses have already reached tens of millions."

Lin Qingran breathed a sigh of relief. No casualties were the best outcome. At least she wouldn't be held accountable by her superiors, and the losses were no longer a concern.

"Send someone over there to properly appease everyone at the factory," Lin Qingran said.

Xiao Zhou nodded. "I've already sent someone over, but Mr. Jiang, should we continue with the press conference?"

“The words have already been spoken, so naturally we must continue,” Lin Qingran said after a moment’s thought.

"Now that we've already torn off all pretense of civility, what's the point of maintaining a facade of dignity?"

She hasn't even shown up yet, but the conflict between Sheng Hai Group and Lin Fu's families is already quite deep.

In any case, these are all issues that need to be addressed openly and will eventually have to be made public.
