After swapping bodies, I became a domineering CEO in a melodramatic novel.

Yu Yuetong was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered, sat up straight, and smiled slightly. She took a deep breath and took the documents from Qin Reng's hand, "Next, I will analyze the core value of this investment in detail for everyone."

With Qin Reng gone, Yu Yuetong began her analysis, her words sharp and insightful, gradually dispelling the board's doubts. She calmly and logically explained the feasibility of the investment plan and its future strategic advantages, earning many nods of approval.

When the meeting ended, every director looked at her with newfound respect, which ignited a sense of accomplishment in Yu Yuetong. She knew very well that this was not only a "confession" after her drunkenness, but also an opportunity for her to clear her name.

Leaving the conference room, Yu Yuetong's steps became much lighter. However, Qin Reng's subtle expression before the meeting and the shadow cast by that sudden news still lingered in her mind.

Perhaps Qin Reng's trust in her stemmed from that silent support, wanting her to occupy an unshakable position by his side.

As she pondered, Qin Reng walked towards her from the other side, a faint smile on his face. "Well done, Mrs. CEO."

"Of course I can't embarrass you," Yu Yuetong replied playfully, but her eyes still held a gentle tenderness, as if the initial awkwardness had slowly faded away.

The two walked out of the company building side by side, the midday sun shining on them, dispelling the unease of the morning. The car slowly drove onto the street, heading towards the restaurant they had booked. An unspoken understanding filled the air, making them both feel a sense of peace.

Qin Reng casually parked the car smoothly in front of the restaurant. Just as the two were about to get out and enjoy lunch, Qin Reng received a phone call. His eyes narrowed, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said to Yu Yuetong beside him, "Yu Yuetong, you go in first, I'll be right there."

Although reluctant, Yu Yuetong obediently nodded and went into the restaurant. Qin Reng took the phone, his tone steady but cautious: "What? Are you sure?"

His voice betrayed a hint of excitement: "Okay, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Reng's expression was even more grave than before. The threat in the message seemed to have come true, and the sinister power struggles hidden in the shadows were gradually being revealed, forcing him to go all out.

And so, a suspenseful turmoil quietly began. But Yu Yuetong, sitting at the table, remained completely unaware, her eyes fixed on his return.

At that moment, she was completely unaware that she had already entered a thrilling game of chess, with all sorts of unknown fates looming over her.

Yu Yuetong waited in the restaurant for a full twenty minutes, but Qin Reng still hadn't appeared. She checked her phone and dialed, but only received a mechanical voice prompt: "The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable."

"What kind of trouble is this now?" she muttered to herself, somewhat absent-minded despite being in a luxurious restaurant, not even bothering to look closely at the tempting dishes.

Just then, a waiter from the restaurant came over and politely handed her an envelope: "Madam, your husband asked us to give this to you."

Yu Yuetong's expression hardened. She took the envelope and opened it, only to find a short line of text inside. Qin Reng's familiar handwriting came into view: "Be sure to stay in the restaurant and do not follow me. Wait for me to return. —Qin Reng."

Upon seeing that sentence, she immediately became alert. Although she harbored resentment towards Qin Reng's actions, she knew that given his personality, he would never leave her to handle something alone unless it was extremely important. Did this mean that a crisis was quietly approaching?

She rested her chin on her hand, silently took a sip of water, and her mind raced. This wasn't the first time she'd been in danger; since they'd swapped bodies, similar pressures had become almost a daily occurrence. However, Yu Yuetong wasn't one to sit idly by—no matter what Qin Reng had been through, she had to find a way out.

She quietly took out her phone and dialed her assistant Xiao Su's number. "It's me. I need you to check Qin Reng's whereabouts. He just left the restaurant, saying he had something important to do."

Xiao Su, who seemed to be in her car on the other end of the phone, quickly replied, "Understood, I'll check right away. I'll let you know immediately if anything happens."

After hanging up the phone, she looked around. The restaurant wasn't crowded, and although the ambiance was elegant, it gave off a somewhat desolate feeling. An ominous premonition gradually spread through her, making her restless.

After some time, Xiao Su called back: "Madam, I found out. President Qin's car was last seen near an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. There's something fishy about this place; the nearby surveillance cameras seem to have been deliberately sabotaged."

"An abandoned warehouse?" Yu Yuetong's heart sank. She subconsciously thought that this might be related to the Qin family's dispute, or even to Qin Yu—after all, he was the kind of person who was best at playing tricks.

“Okay, I got it,” she replied. “Send me your location, and I’ll come right over.”

"But President Qin told me—" Before Xiao Su could finish speaking, Yu Yuetong had already hung up the phone.

She had imagined Qin Reng would be furious if he knew she had left without permission, but she had no choice at this moment. Since this crisis involved Qin Reng, she couldn't stand idly by. When faced with danger, she always adhered to one principle—save those who could, and don't shift the blame onto anyone else.

She stood up and walked straight to the restaurant entrance. Leaving behind a gold card in Qin Reng's name, she calmly told the waiter, "Put the bill under his name."

**

When she arrived at the location, it was already an hour later.

An abandoned warehouse stood on the desolate outskirts of the city, surrounded by overgrown weeds, with a hidden path leading to its gate. The place wasn't exactly eerie, but a chill seeped in from all sides. Compared to the city's bustling atmosphere, it felt like another world.

As she approached the warehouse, she heard faint sounds of arguing coming from inside, low but urgent, as if they were discussing some unspeakable secret.

Yu Yuetong's heart suddenly raced. She quietly hid by the door, slowed her breathing, and pressed her ear against the metal door to listen carefully.

"Qin Reng, stop struggling." A familiar voice slowly rang out. The name immediately flashed into her mind: "Qin Yu!"

"Everyone knows that your methods are just for show. Stop fantasizing. The Qin family will fall into my hands sooner or later, and no matter how much you struggle, you can't change the situation." Qin Yu's tone was tinged with contempt.

Yu Yuetong gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. She had thought that Qin Yu's schemes behind the scenes were not entirely aboveboard, but only after hearing these words with her own ears did she realize that his ambition was so blatant.

“You’re quite bold,” another deep voice retorted, belonging to Qin Reng, “but I advise you not to shoot yourself in the foot. Grandpa will not hand over the family business to you; you don’t even have the slightest chance.”
