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

Aren't they afraid that they'll end up fighting to the death with them?

"Don't worry, let's see how things go first. Go contact other banks and see if you can secure some new loan quotas," Lin Qingran said.

"Okay, I'll go right away." After saying that, Bo Ye turned around and ran out of the study.

Just as one problem was being resolved, another arose. While Bo Ye was still trying to find a solution, Xiao Zhou arrived.

"Mr. Jiang, there's another problem at the factory. The workers heard that the factory was vandalized and are worried they won't have any work anymore. They're all demanding compensation," Xiao Zhou said.

Lin Qingran rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. "Wasn't the matter of appeasing the workers already arranged? How come they're still causing trouble?"

"I'm not too sure either, maybe someone is stirring things up behind the scenes," Xiao Zhou said.

"Go to the factory yourself first, try to calm the workers down, and tell them that the factory will resume production as soon as possible and their jobs will not be affected," Lin Qingran said.

"Okay, Mr. Jiang, I'll go right away," Xiao Zhou replied, turning and leaving.

Lin Qingran sat in the chair and took a deep breath.

She now needs to find a way to solve these problems, while also continuing her investigation into the Fu Group and the Lin family.

This is indeed a mentally and physically demanding task.

However, Lin Qingran had already anticipated many things before she decided to reveal her identity.

Since we're already here, we might as well make the best of it; it's not like we can't get through this.

After a long period of thinking, Lin Qingran's mind seemed to have rusted and was no longer working properly.

She rubbed her temples wearily, and just as she was about to close her eyes to calm herself down, her phone rang again, as if on cue.

"Sister Jiuge, I've found some crucial evidence about Zhao Quanying's collusion with the Fu Group."

It was Wen Qingyu calling; she finally brought good news.

But before Lin Qingran could even smile, her heart sank to the bottom again.

“But now I’m in some trouble. Someone is following me, and I may not be able to safely send the evidence back,” Wen Qingyu said in a serious tone.

Lin Qingran's heart tightened. "Where are you now? Find a safe place to hide first, and I'll find a way to come and get you."

“I’m in a small town near the branch office. It’s quite remote, but I’m not sure how long I can hide here,” Wen Qingyu said.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to pick you up right away."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Qingran immediately called Bo Ye.

“Bo Ye, let’s put the cash flow issue aside for now. I’ll figure out a way myself. Wen Qingyu is in danger abroad. Someone is following her. You have many connections overseas. Can you find a way to arrange for someone to bring her back? We must ensure her safety.” Lin Qingran looked at Bo Ye earnestly.

Bo Ye immediately noticed the dark circles under Lin Qingran's eyes, and he knew that Lin Qingran must have been exhausted these days.

She had to worry about everything, and Lin Qingran would never ask her for help unless absolutely necessary.

"Sister, don't worry." Bo Ye slowly squatted down and took Lin Qingran's hand, which was resting on her knee.

"I will definitely, definitely bring him back safely."

Lin Qingran watched Bo Ye's departing figure and slowly closed her eyes.

Before she knew it, a tear had formed in the corner of Lin Qingran's eye.

She was really tired...

The surrounding silence was unsettling. Lin Qingran tried to calm herself down, but various worries kept flashing through her mind.

The situation with Wen Qingyu was unclear. The factory workers were still demanding compensation, and the cash flow was facing a tightening. All of these issues weighed heavily on her mind like huge stones.

Time passed slowly in anxious waiting, and every minute and second felt incredibly long to Lin Qingran.

She leaned wearily against the sofa, and after about ten minutes, her mood finally calmed down.

Lin Qingran slowly opened her eyes, stood up and walked to the study, fiddling with her phone and making call after call.

Beijing.

Fu Xiuheng returned to his office with a terrible expression; every subtle change in his expression revealed that he was very unhappy.

Fu Rongrong's attitude was firm, making it impossible to get any solutions from her for dealing with Lin Qingran.

He sat in his chair, pondering repeatedly how to deal with Lin Qingran and the Shenghai Group's offensive.

The reputation of the Fu Group was severely damaged again after Lin Qingran revealed her identity. Now, the online rumors about the Fu Group sending people to attack the senior leaders of the Sheng Hai Group due to business competition with the Sheng Hai Group are even more intense.

He had to come up with a foolproof plan that could both salvage the group's image and suppress Sheng Hai Group's offensive momentum.

"President, we've received word from the Lin Group that they've started targeting Sheng Hai Group's cash flow, and we expect to see results soon."

After receiving the call, Lu An hurriedly entered the office.

"What?" A hint of shock flashed clearly in Fu Xiuheng's eyes.

Lu An looked at Fu Xiuheng nervously, "President Shen has made his move."

Actually, he really wanted to tell Fu Xiuheng that although such suppression could produce results in the short term, once Lin Qingran turned the tables, she would definitely retaliate against them without reservation.

Moreover, they already had a grudge against each other over the past few years, and if they continued to anger Lin Qingran, she would definitely not hold back.

Fu Xiuheng frowned slightly, as if he could see right through Lu An's thoughts.

"You still think I should take the initiative to apologize to her?"

Lu An dared not say anything, but silently waited for Fu Xiuheng to make a decision.

Seeing Fu Xiuheng remain silent, Lu An couldn't help but pray in his heart that Fu Xiuheng would not continue to be so stubborn.

However, things never went as Lu An wished.

After a long silence, Fu Xiuheng suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"Lin Qingran's public revelation of her identity may seem like a declaration of war against both our families, but in reality, it has stirred up a hornet's nest. This is just the beginning; I want to see how long she can hold out."

Lu An finally had nothing to say, turned around and left silently.

Fu Xiuheng was left alone in the office again, and he lit a cigarette in frustration.

Despite his tough words, Fu Xiuheng felt inexplicably uneasy. He had a feeling that Lin Qingran wouldn't be defeated so easily.

Inside the Lin family's old house, Shen Pei'an listened to Zhao Quanying's report with a smug smile on his face.

"Very good. As long as we cut off her funding chain, Sheng Hai Group will be like a bird without wings, unable to fly. Then, let's see how she can fight us."

A ruthless glint flashed in Shen Pei'an's eyes. He would not let Lin Qingran, a woman who dared to openly challenge him, off easily.

Besides, she should have died long ago.
