“Let me show you some of my recent achievements.” Fu Yanchen took out a document from the drawer. “These are some project plans I’ve recently worked on with some legitimate business partners. I’ve started to venture into the business world, and I want to completely break away from the gangster path. And these are the incriminating evidence against the gangster boss.”

Jiang Zeyu took the documents and carefully flipped through them, his expression still somewhat doubtful: "Is this enough? Do you think the gangster boss will let you off so easily?"

“No, that’s why he’s my biggest obstacle right now.” Fu Yanchen sat down. “The gangster boss has a lot of influence in the underworld, and he won’t easily believe that I have any intention of leaving him. I’m trying to win over the people around him.”

"How do you want me to help you?" Jiang Zeyu found it somewhat absurd.

“I’ll give you the evidence; you find a way to bring him to justice in China,” Fu Yanchen said sincerely.

Jiang Zeyu stood up and paced around the room a few steps: "Even if what you're saying is true, do you know how dangerous what you're about to do is? Do you know what the consequences will be?"

“I’ve thought about this. I’ll find a chance to get away, but before that, I need to ensure Shen Mengxia and Xiaozhou’s safety. I can’t let them be in danger any longer.”

Jiang Zeyu stopped and looked at Fu Yanchen: "How do you plan to ensure their safety? Your father is a notoriously ruthless character."

"I will arrange for them to leave for a while and go to a safe place. I will find some reliable people to protect them, and I will bring them back after I and my father have resolved our matters." Fu Yanchen's eyes were filled with determination.

Jiang Zeyu sighed: "Fu Yanchen, this is a huge gamble. If you fail, you will not only lose your father's trust, but you will also lose your beloved Shen Mengxia, and may even plunge her into an abyss of no return."

“I know, but I have no choice. I can’t just stand by and watch her be threatened by gangsters because of me. I have to change all of this.” Fu Yanchen stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the night view outside.

Jiang Zeyu thought for a moment, then said, "I can trust you for now, but you have to agree to a few conditions. First, I must know your schedule at any time; second, you must regularly report to me on the progress of your negotiations with your father; third, if I find out that you have deceived me in any way, I will immediately take Shen Mengxia away and use every means at my disposal to make sure you can never get close to her again."

Fu Yanchen nodded quickly: "Okay, I promise you. I'll go arrange for Shen Mengxia and Xiaozhou's safety now."

After Fu Yanchen left, Jiang Zeyu sat on the sofa, looking at the project proposal Fu Yanchen had given him, his heart filled with mixed feelings. He didn't know if his decision was right or wrong, but he knew that if what Fu Yanchen said was true, he couldn't bear to see Shen Mengxia continue to be dragged into this dangerous situation.

A few days later, Fu Yanchen excitedly told Jiang Zeyu, "Jiang Zeyu, I did what we planned. I've sent Shen Mengxia and Xiaozhou to a very safe place, with reliable people protecting them. And these past few days, my friend and I have been making good progress on our business cooperation. The prospects for this project look very promising."

Jiang Zeyu looked at the rare smile on Fu Yanchen's face and nodded slightly: "But this is just the beginning, Fu Yanchen. What is your father's reaction now?"

“I haven’t talked to my father about this directly yet. I want to establish a certain business foundation first before confronting him. But these past few days, I’ve sensed that he may have noticed something different about me. He’s been sending people to investigate me secretly,” Fu Yanchen said with some worry.

"You need to be careful; gangsters have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves," Jiang Zeyu warned.

“I know, so I’d like to ask you for another favor. You know a lot about the rules and methods in the business world. Could you help me devise a plan to deal with my father’s possible actions? I want to be well-prepared before confronting him head-on,” Fu Yanchen said earnestly.

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Zeyu said, "Alright, I can give you some basic strategies. But remember, the business world is like a battlefield; one wrong move and you could lose everything."
