After the divorce, the aloof CEO begged me not to withdraw my investment.

Qi Xue's smile gradually disappeared, and her eyes became sharp.

"President Liu, what do you mean?"

"You know what I mean."

Liu Qingyi retaliated without backing down, her eyes filled with hostility.

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, and people around them turned to look and whispered among themselves.

"Liu Qingyi, that's enough!"

Ye Feng finally couldn't help but speak, his tone tinged with anger.

Why are you targeting Qi Xue?

"I'm targeting her?"

Liu Qingyi laughed so hard her shoulders were shaking, as if she had heard a joke.

"Ye Feng, ask yourself, who is really targeting whom!"

"I can not understand what you say."

Ye Feng frowned, his eyes filled with impatience.

"You really don't understand?"

Liu Qingyi pressed closer, tears glistening in her eyes.

"You gave up our years of relationship for her, you were willing to turn against me for her, don't you understand?!"

Her voice grew louder and louder, almost like an accusation.

The people around them stopped talking and all eyes were on the three of them.

Qi Xue's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on Ye Feng's arm.

Ye Feng sensed Qi Xue's nervousness and gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her.

He turned his head, his gaze icy as he stared at Liu Qingyi.

"Liu Qingyi, it's over between us long ago. You're the one who destroyed our relationship."

"Did I ruin our relationship?"

Liu Qingyi felt as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Ye Feng, how could you slander me like this for this woman!"

"Whether I've slandered you or not, you know the answer in your heart."

Ye Feng's tone was firm, without the slightest wavering.

"Let me make this clear today: Qi Xue and I are friends, and very important friends at that."

I hope you'll stop being unreasonable, or don't blame me for being ruthless.

Ye Feng's words struck Liu Qingyi's heart like a bolt from the blue.

She staggered back a step, her face as pale as paper.

She watched Ye Feng stand firmly beside Qi Xue, her heart filled with despair and regret.

She finally understood that what she had lost was not only Ye Feng, but also herself.

The banquet hall lights were still dazzling, and the champagne was still fragrant.

But Liu Qingyi felt as if she were in an ice cellar, her whole body was ice cold.

She bit her lip tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, struggling to control her emotions as she was about to break down.

She knew she had lost, utterly lost.

It was late at night, and smoke filled Ye Feng's study.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city's neon lights flicker, like a hazy dream.

He held an investigation report in his hand, his fingertips trembling slightly.

The photo in the report was none other than Li Mo, Qin Feng's unassuming assistant.

“Li Mo…Li Mo…”

Ye Feng murmured the name, countless fragments flashing through his mind.

In the dim light, Ye Feng's face was terribly gloomy.

He slammed the report onto the table with a loud thud.

The wine glass on the table trembled slightly, and the liquid inside rippled outwards, just like the turmoil in his heart at that moment.

"It was him! It was him!"

Ye Feng suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the study.

The dull thud of his leather shoes hitting the wooden floor resonated deep within him, each sound striking his nerves.

He recalled the business competition from a few years ago, how he had driven his opponent to the brink of defeat, and how he had gradually climbed to the top.

Now, his opponent's confidant has made a comeback in this way, hiding by Qin Feng's side like a venomous snake, waiting for his chance to strike.

"What a brilliant deception! What a clever maneuver!"

Ye Feng gritted his teeth, his chest burning with fury.

He felt a wave of suffocation, walked to the window, and suddenly pushed it open, greedily breathing in the cold night air.

The cold wind brushed against his face, calming him down a little.

He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and the taste of nicotine gave him a numbing sensation.

"This game is getting more and more interesting."

Ye Feng muttered to himself, a cold smile curving his lips.

He knew that this business war was far more complex and dangerous than he had imagined.

But he was fearless, because he was ready to meet the challenge.

He picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Please help me find all of Li Mo's information over the years, the more detailed the better."

His voice was low and firm, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Feng returned to his desk, picked up the investigation report, and carefully reviewed it again.

His gaze was piercing, as if he wanted to etch every single word into his mind.

Silence fell in the study again, broken only by the sound of turning pages and Ye Feng's occasional whispers.

Outside the window, the city lights continued to flicker, as if silently watching the impending storm.

Ye Feng felt an unprecedented pressure, but he did not back down.

He knew that the war had only just begun, and he had to win.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the tense atmosphere in the air.

"Li Mo, we'll see."

He spoke in a low voice, his tone full of confidence and determination.

The cold moonlight streamed through the French windows, casting dappled shadows on the floor.

Liu Qingyi curled up on the sofa, clutching the document tightly in her hand, her fingertips turning white.

The dense text and numbers on the document, like cold symbols, stung her eyes.

"How dare he..."

Liu Qingyi's voice trembled, almost inaudible.

She felt nauseous, her stomach churning.

She remembered Qin Feng's contemptuous gaze, his sarcastic words, and how he treated her like a pawn, manipulating her at will.

A strong sense of humiliation welled up inside her, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

"I can't go on like this!"

Liu Qingyi suddenly stood up and slammed the documents to the ground. The documents scattered, like her broken heart.

She walked to the window, pushed it open forcefully, and greedily inhaled the cold night air.

The cold wind brushed against her face, calming her down a little.

"I can't lose!"

Liu Qingyi clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with determination.

She was going to retaliate and make Qin Feng pay the price!

She bent down, picked up the scattered documents, and carefully flipped through them one by one.

She wanted to find evidence of Qin Feng's illegal activities and bring him to justice!

Time passed slowly, and the room was silent except for the sound of papers turning and Liu Qingyi's occasional whispers.

She felt as if she were in a giant maze, with everything around her becoming blurry.

But she did not give up. Like a lone warrior, she groped her way forward in the dark.

Suddenly, she stopped and her gaze fell on a line of text on the document.

Her breathing became rapid, and her heart began to beat faster.

"This is it!" Liu Qingyi said softly, her tone tinged with excitement.

She found it! She found crucial evidence of Qin Feng's illegal activities!
