After the divorce, the crazy CEO knocked on his ex-wife's door every night.

Sitting at her familiar desk, she carefully reviewed the documents.

A moment later, her computer received an email notification.

As the screen lit up, she glanced up at it casually, then quickly looked down again.

But soon, she looked up again and stared at the account.

I'd seen this account before on Cheng Lu's page; it was used by the anonymous person who transferred 30 million to them.

Because the account name was simple, I remembered it after just one glance.

Shen Xuan hesitated for a moment before opening the email.

Attached to the email was a land bidding document, which detailed every penny of investment and the amount of materials needed.

She glanced at it a few times and found it a bit strange, so she typed a few words as a reply and sent it over.

Who are you? Why are you helping us?

She rested her chin on her palm, waiting and hoping for a reply.

However, after waiting for quite a while, there was still no reply.

"Miss?" Guan Chengxin noticed that she seemed a little off staring at the computer and called out softly.

Shen Xuan snapped out of her daze, adjusted the document, and handed it to Guan Chengxin, saying, "Print this out; we'll use it for the bidding!"

Guan Chengxin took it and looked at it, slightly surprised. "Miss, are you sure you want to set the amount like this?"

"It's settled then." She rested her elbows on the table, still holding a pen in her hand, her attitude resolute.

Guan Chengxin picked up the document, still feeling puzzled.

"Go and deal with it quickly," Shen Xuan urged.

For some reason, she chose to believe the anonymous person's information. Only after Guan Chengxin left did she belatedly realize and regret her gullibility.

As she looked at the sender's address in the email, it felt increasingly familiar.

At one moment, it was as if a bolt of lightning struck my mind, making everything clear.

Back when I first took over Xuanmao Group, I did see this account. It was an account that Lu Yuchen used specifically to manage finances.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Xuan dialed the number of Mr. Li, Lu Yuchen's former secretary.

After two rings, the phone was answered.

"Secretary Li, please help me verify whether this account belongs to Xuanmao Group."

A few minutes passed. "Ms. Shen, this account was once exclusively owned by Mr. Lu, but since Xuanmao Group is no longer an asset under Mr. Lu's name, it cannot be considered a company account."

Shen Xuan fell silent.

"Secretary Li, is there something I could do for you?"

"Miss Shen, please speak!"

The person on the other end responded politely, "I'd like you to check who's currently using this account."

"We can't find it, Ms. Shen. The account address is overseas and not under the management of Xuanmao Group, so we can't find any specific information."

After a moment's thought, she added, "Also, I just came back from Mr. Lu's place. Since company matters require Mr. Lu's personal signature and fingerprint, I'm certain that this account isn't being used by Mr. Lu himself."

Shen Xuan raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, the last glimmer of hope in her heart vanishing instantly.

She was puzzled: Who exactly stole Lu Yuchen's account and transferred 30 million to Cheng Lu's company?

What other document was provided?

At 6:30 p.m., she appeared at a meeting place in Jiangcheng.

Because she had a contract to resolve herself, she changed her clothes and went to the venue alone.

They had agreed to meet at a restaurant, but when she got out of the car, she was told the address had been changed.

I had no choice but to follow the directions and end up at a nightclub.

After hesitating for a while in the underground parking lot, I finally stepped into the elevator.

Guan Chengxin initially planned to go with him, but he couldn't be absent because he had to participate in the bidding.

Since the other party was in a hurry to sign the contract, each of them had to go to a different place.

Shen Xuan stepped out of the elevator and into the noisy lobby. She weaved through the crowd in search of her destination and finally found a private room and went inside.

Sitting in the room was a man who looked to be in his forties, with a shaved head resembling a Mediterranean hairstyle.

He was also with his arm around a woman.

Upon seeing Shen Xuan enter, the middle-aged man pushed the person in his arms away with an unsettling smile.

"Oh, Miss Shen is here! Come and sit here."

As he spoke, he pointed to the empty seat next to him, a hint of hostility flashing in his eyes.

Although somewhat hesitant, after confirming that she hadn't gone to the wrong door, Shen Xuan walked to the sofa, sat down, and asked the other person, "Where is President Wang?"

“I am Mr. Wang’s younger brother. Now you can think of me as another ‘Mr. Wang’.”

The man replied, "My brother had some urgent business to attend to and couldn't come to discuss the contract in person, so he asked me to act as his representative."

Are you sure you have the right to make that decision?

“My brother and I each own half of the company. Do you think I can’t make decisions?”

Seeing her skeptical look, the man further explained, "If Miss Shen doesn't believe me, why don't you just call my older brother to verify?"

After hearing his confident assurance, she gave up her doubts.

Since the time and place matched, I didn't investigate further.

“Okay, about the details of the cooperation…” She took out the prepared contract from her handbag.

At this moment, the man waved his hand to stop him: "No need to rush, let's take it slow first."

Then a glass of wine was brought to her. The man had a fleshy face and when he smiled, he revealed a mouthful of yellow teeth.

The room was filled with a strong smell of alcohol that was suffocating and almost made Shen Xuan vomit.

"Come on, Miss Shen, have a sip. Let's chat and drink together."

Shen Xuan stared blankly at the glass of wine; she was well aware of this tactic.

She had originally come to discuss business with a respectable person, but she hadn't expected to run into such an unconventional guy, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

"I'm sorry, I drove here, I really can't drink..." Shen Xuan straightened her sleeves, trying to politely decline.

The man opposite her rolled his eyes, a hint of displeasure on his face: "Miss Shen, are you disrespecting me?"

She clenched her fists tighter, raised her eyes slightly, and carefully examined the other person's resolute face.

If I don't finish this glass of wine today, I doubt this uncle will let me off the hook.

She reached out, quickly grabbed the glass, and swallowed the liquid inside.

Although this amount of alcohol was nothing to her, sitting and drinking with such a disgusting old man was not a pleasant experience.

The man clapped his hands in satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, it truly lives up to its reputation."

"Can we start discussing the contract now?"

Shen Xuan put down the empty cup, then took out the contract from her handbag and handed it to the other party.

I don't want to have any more contact with such a despicable person and hope to end this terrible negotiation as soon as possible.

"Don't rush, there's plenty of time."

The man squinted and smiled as he took the document, taking the opportunity to gently touch her skin.

Shen Xuan abruptly withdrew her arm and stood up, asking in an icy tone, "What do you want to do?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry! I probably had a couple too many drinks and couldn't see clearly. Miss Shen, please don't mind, let's continue our conversation."
