The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

"Assistant Xie undertook this part of the data reconstruction work in her personal capacity. Considering the extremely high complexity of this data calculation, I allow her to submit the final draft 15 minutes later. Please be patient, directors, and let's discuss other issues first."

These words eased the tension slightly.

But no one could see that the hand hanging by his side had quietly clenched into a fist.

A sense of unease was quietly growing in my heart.

Inside the boardroom, cold light streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, mirroring the atmosphere that had suddenly become still.

Ruolan slowly stood up, her posture as elegant and poised as ever, a faint smile playing on her lips. Yet, that smile was strangely unsettling.

"Distinguished directors, Yin Shen," her voice was gentle yet clear enough to penetrate the end of the conference table, "I apologize for interrupting, but this matter is of great importance, and I can no longer conceal it."

A hint of suppressed anguish flashed across her eyes, and her lips pressed down, as if she were about to reveal some kind of immoral scandal.

But he was secretly very pleased with himself, because he knew that what he was about to announce was indeed a scandal, even though he had fabricated it himself.

The thought that Xie Yumin would soon fall to his feet and become his defeated opponent, and that he would never have to look up to anyone again, but only be looked up to by others, made him feel extremely happy.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath to suppress the excitement in his heart.

She then turned her head slightly, gesturing to her female assistant standing behind her to press the remote control.

The large screen lit up and played a video taken in a dimly lit corner of a high-end coffee shop, with an eerie angle, as if it were being secretly filmed.

In the video, a woman with long hair and wearing business attire sits with her head down, facing a man wearing sunglasses whose face is blurred.

The two were speaking and acting intimately, but their expressions were tense. The woman handed over an object that looked like a USB flash drive, and then the scene abruptly ended.

A highlighted text annotation has been added to the bottom right corner of the screen.

R&F Capital, one of Gu's biggest competitors.

"This is the good deed Xie Yumin did."

Ruolan's voice trembled slightly, as if she had just witnessed the truth firsthand, filled with immense anger and a sense of justice:

"Everyone, look carefully! This is not an ordinary meeting! This is a conspiracy! Assistant Xie is not late because of 'illness,' nor is she working overtime! She is betraying the Gu family and handing over core business data to our competitors!"

Her eyes flashed with a cold, angry light, and her speech suddenly quickened: "Her risk assessment report? You still dare to believe it? Did she already plant traps in the report, so that once the merger is finalized, we'll be setting ourselves up for failure?!"

"I strongly suggest!" Ruolan's voice suddenly rose, her gaze sweeping over everyone, her lips clenched tightly, "Immediately dismiss Xie Yumin from her post and initiate an internal investigation and legal proceedings! Protecting the Gu family's assets is of utmost urgency!"

These resounding accusations were like an icicle thrown into water, creating a huge wave around the conference table.

Several directors whispered among themselves, some frowning, some looking surprised, and some even couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Is this video real? When was it filmed?"

"Xie Yumin actually has connections with Ruifeng Capital? My God, that must be fake, right?"

"He hid this too well! Who would believe it? I can't even imagine how much intelligence he's gathered for the other side using this identity."

"Our company treats him just as well, so why would he do something like this? I really don't understand!"

Everyone started whispering among themselves. Although they were mostly talking to each other and just venting their feelings, a closer listen revealed that their voices were very synchronized, and almost all of them were questioning Xie Yumin.

After hearing their whispers, Ruolan couldn't help but curl his lips into a slight smile. He wanted to see what Xie Yumin could do against him after such a series of attacks.

Gu Yinshen slowly turned his head to look at the screen. His expression was gloomy, as if night was about to fall.

Standing in the light, Ruolan easily took in his face, a hint of smugness creeping into her heart. She saw the cold light in Gu Yinshen's eyes, the fury of suspicion. She knew that the most effective way to shake a person was not through direct confrontation, but by making them witness the person they trusted most betray them.

And now the time has come.

Given Gu Yinshen's personality, he would absolutely not tolerate such an ungrateful person and would definitely punish Xie Yumin severely.

When that time comes, Xie Yumin will be hit hard by the punch from her beloved, and that feeling will be more desperate and painful than anything given by others.

She could almost see Xie Yumin's "utter disgrace" ending.

But just as she was secretly raising the corners of her lips in preparation for proposing a motion, suddenly, there was a loud bang.

The heavy door to the conference room was suddenly slammed open with astonishing force!

Everyone instinctively turned to look, their actions and words frozen in that instant.

The woman at the door was disheveled and soaking wet, her hair plastered to her face, and she staggered as if she had struggled to crawl out of the eye of a storm.

She is Xie Yumin.

She was covered in mud and blood, her face pale but resolute, her eyes burning with scorching anger and unwavering conviction. She didn't look at anyone, as if all the doubts, accusations, and stares around her had vanished into thin air.

Her gaze was fixed firmly on Gu Yinshen.

Gu Yinshen suddenly stood up, his eyes darting around violently.

He stared at her in shock, his voice momentarily hoarse: "Xie Yumin?"

How did he end up like this? It did rain a little today, but he shouldn't be in such a sorry state, right?

And what's with the bloodstains on him?

Just then, Gu Yinshen finally noticed the mottled bloodstains on his body. Although they were not very obvious due to the rain, the smell of blood lingered in the office and could not be dispelled for a long time.

Others seemed to notice the smell as well and couldn't help but look at Xie Yumin, but they didn't think much of it and didn't see the deep blood on his body.

After all, who would have thought that a colleague who commutes with you every day would suddenly have a strong smell of blood on them?

So they subconsciously thought that Xie Yumin might be menstruating, which was why she smelled like that?

As a result, there are not as many people who actually doubt Xie Yumin, and the situation that Xie Yumin had previously thought might become a very conspicuous one is much better than he imagined.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief. Then, without saying a word, he stumbled towards the conference table.
