Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag

The halo of success seemed to blind me; behind that dazzling light, the shadows were growing ever darker.

Xiaoli's abrupt praise was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples in my heart.

Over the next few days, this feeling of unease grew stronger, like spider silk coiling around my heart, making it almost impossible for me to breathe.

The atmosphere in the company also became subtle.

The once busy and orderly work environment is now filled with an indescribable sense of tension.

The colleagues lowered their voices considerably, and when their eyes met occasionally, they quickly looked away, as if they were hiding some secret.

I keenly sensed that something was stirring in the shadows, like the calm before a storm, oppressively suffocating.

What worries me even more is that some unfavorable rumors have started circulating internally.

Some say our products have quality problems, while others say the company's cash flow has dried up and it is about to go bankrupt.

These rumors spread rapidly like a virus, eroding employee confidence and shaking the trust of partners.

I tried to stay calm and told myself it might just be a coincidence, but my intuition told me that it was no accident.

Someone is manipulating all of this behind the scenes, with the aim of pushing me into the abyss once again.

who is it?

Zhou Cheng?

Or other enemies hiding in the dark?

I tried to find the source, but it was like groping in the fog, with no clue whatsoever.

This feeling of powerlessness made me even more anxious, as if an invisible hand was choking me.

I sat in my office, the sunlight streaming in through the window, but it couldn't dispel the gloom in my heart.

I picked up the phone, wanting to dial Gong Lin's number, but hesitated.

I don't want him to worry, and I don't want him to get involved in this mess again.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

"Mr. Miao, Mr. Wang is here." The secretary's voice came from outside the door, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

Wang Jing?

My important business partner.

What is he doing here at this time?

My heart sank suddenly and an ominous premonition came over me.

"Please let him in," I said, trying to remain calm and control my trembling voice.

The door opened, and Wang Jing walked in, his face showing a hint of hesitation I had never seen before…?

"President Miao, I..." he began, but his voice trailed off.

Wang Jing hesitated for a moment, but eventually revealed his purpose.

He subtly indicated that, given the company's current "negative news," he had to consider withdrawing his investment to mitigate the risks.

I suppressed my anger and tried my best to maintain a calm demeanor.

His words struck me like a bolt from the blue, leaving me dizzy and disoriented.

I took a deep breath and told myself not to panic. It's precisely in times like these that I need to stay calm.

After seeing Wang Jing off, I could no longer remain calm.

I slumped into the chair, feeling utterly powerless.

Zhou Cheng, it's him again!

This treacherous villain actually used such despicable means to frame me!

I clenched my fists so tightly that my nails dug deep into my palms, but I felt no pain at all.

"Qing'er." A warm voice rang in my ears.

I looked up and saw Gong Lin standing in the doorway.

He strode over and pulled me into his arms.

I gripped his collar tightly, as if I had grasped a lifeline.

His embrace was so warm that it made me feel incredibly safe.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He gently patted my back, his tender voice like a warm current slowly flowing into my heart.

Gong Lin told me that he had obtained some clues through his intelligence network, and that this incident was indeed related to Zhou Cheng.

He bribed the media, spread rumors, and even bribed my business partners in an attempt to isolate and leave me helpless.

Hearing this, I will no longer wait passively; I will take the initiative and defeat Zhou Cheng completely!

Gong Lin helped me analyze the situation.

He calmly pointed out that the most crucial thing now is to find conclusive evidence to expose Zhou Cheng's conspiracy.

He also advised me to ignore the rumors for the time being and focus on stabilizing the internal situation of the company.

I listened attentively to his analysis, my heart filled with gratitude.

His calm and wisdom gave me immense strength.

I felt his warm, large hand holding mine tightly, as if telling me that no matter what happens, he will be by my side.

There were only the two of us in the office.

The afterglow of the setting sun streamed through the window, bathing the entire room in a golden hue.

We sat quietly, nestled together, surrounded by a warm and cozy atmosphere.

“Let’s start with…” I paused, looking at Gong Lin, when a new idea suddenly popped into my head.

"No, we don't play by the rules..."

I stood up abruptly, my eyes flashing with determination.

"No, we don't play by the rules. Instead of wasting time tracking down those low-level thugs who spread the rumors, let's find the people around Zhou Cheng and get to the root of the problem!"

Gong Lin was slightly surprised, but then nodded approvingly.

"Qing'er, your move is indeed brilliant. To catch the thief, first catch the king; to strike the snake at its vital point, directly attack Zhou Cheng's core circle. Only then can his conspiracy be thwarted as quickly as possible."

I immediately thought of Zhou Cheng's confidant—his secretary, Li Ming.

This man appears unassuming, yet he enjoys Zhou Cheng's deep trust, and almost all important matters are handled through him.

If we can get something out of him, we might find a breakthrough.

The next day, I had my employees arrange a meeting with Li Ming under the pretense of discussing cooperation with another company.

He clearly didn't expect me to contact him directly, and a hint of panic flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Mr. Miao, what a rare guest! May I ask what brings you here today?" Li Ming asked with a forced smile, his eyes darting around.

I got straight to the point: "Secretary Li, I think you should know about some things that have happened in my company recently, right? I think you should know the truth about these things better than anyone else."

Li Ming's expression changed slightly, but he forced himself to remain calm and said, "President Miao, what do you mean by that? I don't understand what you're talking about."

I smiled, but my tone became sharp.

"Secretary Li, stop playing dumb. I know you colluded with Zhou Cheng to plot this conspiracy. You thought you could get away with it, but the net of heaven is vast, and nothing escapes its reach!"

I took out the materials I had prepared beforehand and placed them in front of him.

"This evidence is sufficient to prove what you and Zhou Cheng did. If you confess everything now, you might receive a lighter sentence. Otherwise, you will face the full force of the law!"

Li Ming's face was deathly pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He looked at me in horror, his lips trembling as if he wanted to say something but couldn't utter a word.

I pressed on relentlessly, my imposing manner overwhelming.

"Speak! Who ordered you to do this? What is your purpose?"

Li Ming finally broke down. He slumped into a chair, his eyes unfocused, and muttered to himself, "I...I'll tell you...Zhou Cheng ordered me to do all of this..."

I stared intently at him, secretly delighted. The fish had finally taken the bait!

Li Ming recounted Zhou Cheng's conspiracy in fits and starts, explaining how they carried it out step by step.

He also revealed an important piece of information: Zhou Cheng planned to frame me again at the upcoming bidding meeting, so that I would be completely disqualified from competing.

I got the information I wanted, and a cold smile crept across my face.

"Very good, Secretary Li, thank you for the valuable information."

I got up to leave, but stopped at the door, turned back to look at him, and said coldly, "Remember, this is just the beginning..."

When I returned to the company, I immediately gathered the core team and revealed Li Ming's confession and Zhou Cheng's conspiracy.

Chen Yuzhen's face turned deathly pale; she was clearly terrified by Zhou Cheng's despicable methods.

I reassured her for a few moments, and then began to outline the next course of action.

"Yuzhen, contact all the major media outlets immediately to clarify the previous rumors and release the evidence that Zhou Cheng framed me. Remember, be quick, before Zhou Cheng can react." My tone was firm and left no room for argument.

"Okay, Mr. Miao, I'll get right on it!" Chen Yuzhen immediately sprang into action, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

I turned to the others and said, "As for the bidding conference, we can't just defend ourselves; we have to take the initiative. We..." I lowered my voice and explained my plan to them in detail.

Over the next few days, we proceeded smoothly according to plan.

I secretly collected more evidence of Zhou Cheng's illegal and disorderly conduct and handed it over to the relevant authorities.

At the same time, I also intensified my investigation into Zhou Cheng's company, trying to find more evidence that was detrimental to him.

Zhou Cheng clearly hadn't expected me to retaliate so quickly. He called me in a fit of rage, his tone full of threats.

"Miao Qing, you still dare to go against me? You'll regret this!"

I sneered, "Zhou Cheng, you're the one who should be regretting it now! Did you think your despicable methods could get away with it? You'll have to wait to face the consequences of the law!"

I hung up the phone, my heart filled with the joy of victory.

I know this battle has only just begun, but I have already seized the initiative.

Zhou Cheng, your end is coming!

Just then, my phone rang; it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello?" I answered the phone.

"Mr. Miao, this is..." The voice on the other end of the phone was deep and mysterious, "...I know you want to know Zhou Cheng's next plan..."
