Ge Zeyu and I exchanged a glance, hesitated for a few seconds, and then pressed the answer button.

They both immediately fell silent, and my dad's voice came from the other end of the phone, "When I was out discussing business today, I heard that the company almost caught fire because of you, and you came out of my office?"

My fingers twitched slightly, then I answered confidently, and then asked him in return, "Why did Dad suddenly call to ask me this question? Does he think I did it on purpose when my office caught fire?"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, only a reminder to remember to come home for dinner that night, before the call ended.

Ge Zeyu immediately frowned, grabbed my arm, and said urgently, "Your dad probably has some suspicions. You can't go back for dinner. What if he does something to you?"

"They have no evidence whatsoever, so how could they possibly do anything to me? The most important thing now is whether or not we should use this incident to strike back at them."

If the project is halted, they will not only be tied up with a large amount of money, but will also suffer significant financial losses as a result.

Because they intentionally concealed the environmental pollution, their image in the public eye was damaged, which is actually a good thing for us.

We discussed it back and forth. Ge Zeyu was very hesitant at first, but Xu Qing was very determined. She believed that no matter how the information was obtained, as long as it could strike the other side, it would be fine.

Ultimately, the three of us decided to involve the Ge family in the investigation.

After leaving Xu Qing's house, I immediately went to the Ge family to visit Uncle Ge.

When I arrived at the Ge family home, the atmosphere was deathly still because of Ge Zeyu's disappearance. Aunt Su Qing had fallen ill several times. When she saw me, she managed to cheer up, but her face was still pale.

She managed to force a smile and asked me why I was there today, which made my heart ache, and I couldn't help but curse Ge Zeyu in my heart.

I held her hand as she sat down on the sofa. "I came here today specifically to visit Uncle Ge, but I think Ge Zeyu is definitely alright. He's always been a tough guy, and he's also smart and quick-witted. Even in a crisis, he can turn things around. Maybe he wasn't even in the car at the time."

I said meaningfully, looking firmly at Aunt Su Qing. Hearing my words, her eyes lit up slightly, and then she grabbed my hand urgently, asking questions repeatedly.

"Wanwan, are you telling the truth? That brat is really alright?"

I nodded and reiterated that I believed he would be alright.

Then she added that Ge Zeyu had not been found yet, and that he might have already been out of danger, so she shouldn't be too sad, as outsiders were watching the Ge family.

Hearing what I said, Aunt Su Qing's agitated emotions gradually calmed down. Her eyes lit up as she looked at me, and she nodded quickly. "You're right. People outside are watching our family. For some time now, people have been mocking us, saying that our family line has ended. We should really slap those people in the face."

Then, when they heard that I was looking for Uncle Ge, they told me that Uncle Ge was in his study and that I should go up and talk to him if I needed anything.

Seeing that she was in much better spirits, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Aunt Su Qing is a smart woman; after hearing what I said, she certainly wouldn't show it in front of outsiders.

After I got upstairs, I knocked on the door and got permission from the person inside before going in. I then repeated the words I had used to comfort Aunt Su Qing.

Uncle Ge clearly understood what I said, but his expression wasn't good. He snorted loudly, clearly dissatisfied with Ge Zeyu's actions.

"Speak, what brings you here today? It can't just be about this, can it?"

I nodded, sat down in a chair, and said, "I'm here today because I have something I want to tell Uncle Ge. There's a problem with the project in the west of the city."

I told Uncle Ge that the land was polluted and unsuitable for long-term human habitation, and that the area was also unsuitable for commercial development.

After listening, he looked at me curiously and said, "This is a project your father is involved in. Although the Fu family is also involved, do you know that if this matter is exposed, your family's company will be greatly affected? The Fu family is a large and powerful family and is not afraid."

Of course I know that all of our family's funds are tied up, but I can't care about that now. Fu Xinyi is like a venomous snake, always watching me in the dark. If I don't find a way to bring him down, I'll never have peace in this life.

I nodded solemnly, indicating that I was fully aware of the consequences.

Uncle Ge didn't say much, only that he would find someone to investigate the matter soon. Then he made a phone call and immediately halted the project in the west of the city.

He had only called a halt not long before, and I hadn't even finished chatting with him, when someone called. I was about to go out, but he gave me a look indicating that I didn't need to, so I stayed.

The voice on the other end of the phone was that of his deputy. The two held the positions of chief and deputy, but the deputy's name was Chang Xin, who was said to have a very powerful background. He had been parachuted into this position.

On the surface, Chang Xin is colleagues with Uncle Ge and is his subordinate, but in private, he is always trying to compete with Uncle Ge and even tries to trip him up.

Because of his strong background and relatively young age, many people do support him. He called to ask why the project in the west of the city was halted.

Uncle Ge said that there were problems with the project in the west of the city, and someone had reported the situation to him, so he had to investigate it thoroughly.

Chang Xin on the other end of the phone immediately pressed him, asking who had reported it and what the problem was.

Fortunately, Uncle Ge was one rank higher than him, and he managed to suppress his arrogance. The main reason was that he would go to the project site in the west of the city to take a look, and any problems would be clear at a glance.

After hanging up the phone, he told me to go back first, as he needed to go check out the project site.

I nodded and took a taxi home after leaving the Ge family. My dad wasn't home; he was probably called by the project team. After all, the project was halted and is now under investigation, so his position as the boss definitely needs to be on-site.

Just as I was about to go upstairs, Bian Jiahui suddenly called out to me. With a deep smile on her face, she said meaningfully, "This time, the Ge family is really going to be ruined by you."
