After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

Chen Jie was startled by the suddenly outstretched hand and took several steps back.

"who are you?"

A handsome man emerged from behind the pillar, wearing dark-rimmed glasses, and walked step by step toward Chen Jie.

"Are you Chen Jie, Gu Tianyou's assistant?"

The man with dark-rimmed glasses pushed up his glasses with his long, slender fingers, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

That smile, seemingly polite, was actually very cold.

"I'm Chen Jie, Mingming. What can I do for you?"

Upon seeing the man in a bespoke suit, looking every bit the elite, Chen Jie knew that the person behind this man must be extraordinary.

Instead of concealing your identity, it's better to directly ask the visitor what their purpose is.

"I want to ask you something." The man with dark-rimmed glasses approached Chen Jie step by step. "Is it your CEO, Mr. Gu, who said Shen Yao was responsible for Old Master Gu's death?"

"Why are you asking about this?" Chen Jie asked warily.

Especially when he saw the men in black constantly emerging from behind the man, Chen Jie was so nervous that he forgot to breathe.

"Answer me quickly, and you'll suffer less." The man with dark-rimmed glasses squinted at Chen Jie, already rolling up his sleeves and loosening his joints.

Hearing the sound of the man moving his joints, Chen Jie got goosebumps all over his body.

A muffled scream came from a dark corner of the garage.

Five minutes later, Chen Jie collapsed to the ground, his face covered in bruises.

The man with dark-rimmed glasses adjusted his glasses and sighed, "He's really stubborn, but at least we got some information out of him."

He took out his phone and dialed a familiar number. "Hello, Mr. Bo, it was indeed Gu Tianyou who released the message."

Bo Yuxiu, on the other end of the phone, remained silent for a long time. "I really underestimated this man's stupidity."

"Mr. Bo, Gu Tianyou will also be attending the press conference the day after tomorrow," the man with dark-rimmed glasses said, adjusting his glasses.

"Let's see what Gu Tianyou is up to."

"Yes."

After being subjected to online harassment, Shen Yao immediately turned off Weibo notifications.

For the past two days, she has locked herself in her room, writing her thesis and preparing materials for the press conference the day after tomorrow.

.......

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was morning for the press conference.

The night before, everyone except Lu Jiajia was advising Shen Yao not to attend the press conference.

But Shen Yao refused them all.

"I'm waiting for you downstairs." Lu Jiajia came to pick up Shen Yao early in the morning.

Shen Yao was ready early, and carrying her bag, she went straight downstairs.

Once in the car, Lu Jiajia had brought her breakfast.

"Eat a little something; it's going to be a tough battle."

Shen Yao didn't want to eat, but seeing Lu Jiajia's piercing gaze, she still took the breakfast and started eating.

When she arrived at the press conference, she finally understood why Lu Jiajia had described it as a tough battle.

The area below the press conference building was packed with reporters from various media outlets.

They were all carrying long guns and short cannons, squatting downstairs, looking like spies lying in ambush during wartime.

Shen Yao couldn't imagine how terrifying the scene would be after she got out of the car.

After parking the car and turning off the engine, Lu Jiajia looked at Shen Yao in the passenger seat and asked one last time, "Is it still not too late for you to turn around and go back? Do you want to leave?"

Looking at the hundreds of media reporters outside, it would be a lie to say that Shen Yao wasn't afraid.

However, backing down out of fear is not in her nature.

"Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. I, Shen Yao, have done nothing wrong, so why should I hide from them?"
