I stood in front of Lu Yuntian. His face darkened, giving off an inexplicable sense of oppression.

His smile didn't reach his eyes. "Miss Jiang, if some things are made clear, then there's no point in talking about them."

As soon as he finished speaking, I caught a glimpse of someone walking up behind him out of the corner of my eye. The tall and slender figure instantly caught my attention.

The people around him fell silent instantly. Because Lu Yuntian had his back to the door, he did not see Ge Zeyu walking up behind him.

"And there are some things I have to say just because someone wants to hear them," he said.

Ge Zeyu's unique, youthful voice slowly sounded behind him, "President Lu, what if I wanted to hear it?"

He turned his head instantly upon hearing Ge Zeyu's voice, his expression immediately becoming tense, clearly showing some apprehension.

Although Ge Zeyu was just a student and had no real power, his father was the real target that these people feared.

Lu Yuntian, who had been speaking sarcastically, became much more serious in his tone and attitude. "Young Master Ge, what brings you to the bidding meeting? I was just joking with Miss Jiang, please don't take it seriously."

Ge Zeyu remained silent, staring at him. The people around him chuckled briefly, then stopped.

Although Ge Zeyu is still very young, the subtle influence of his family environment has given him a sense of pressure that others do not have.

"Mr. Lu, some things need to be made clear. I can take it as a joke, but my family may not find it funny."

Being warned by a junior in front of so many people, Lu Yuntian's expression was not good.

After a long while, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed, "Young Master Ge is right!"

Originally, these people wanted to take the opportunity to ruin the bid my father won, but now, because of Ge Zeyu's words, they have to admit that it was all a misunderstanding.

I looked up and met Ge Zeyu's gaze. Just moments ago, he had been all serious, but when he saw me, his expression turned arrogant for a moment. He walked to my side and whispered, "Didn't you have evidence? How come you still suffered a loss?"

With his reminder and his support now, I naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

"Mr. Lu, it turns out you not only love telling jokes, but your memory isn't very good either." As I spoke, I took out my phone and played the video in front of everyone.

"You keep saying that I gave you the bid because I was jealous, but I didn't know I had such a face."

After I finished speaking, everyone had already watched the video on their phones. The expressions of the people present were all different, and the way they looked at Lu Yuntian became much stranger.

After all, the video proves that he helped Bian Jiahui lie.

My dad was also shocked. He watched the video, then turned to look at Bian Jiahui, but remained silent.

Just now, I remember perfectly how Bian Jiahui and this Mr. Lu plotted against me. Now that the situation has reversed, I jokingly repeated what he had just said.

"President Lu, those who know will just think you have a bad memory, but those who don't will think you're just being chivalrous!"

After I said that, the way people around us looked at the two of them became much more ambiguous.

Bian Jiahui's face flushed red, and she almost screamed as she retorted, "Jiang Wanying, how could you frame me like this? My relationship with President Lu is completely innocent!"

"I was just joking. Mr. Lu doesn't mind that you, a thief, are getting so worked up?" I looked up at him and accused him without any politeness. "You and your mother have worked for our family for so many years. Our family has taken good care of you, but we never expected that we would raise such an ungrateful child."

"Stealing bidding documents is stealing trade secrets. Now that we have physical evidence, Dad, shouldn't we call the police?"

After I finished speaking, Bian Jiahui immediately panicked. She turned her head and looked around the crowd as if searching for someone. After a while, she had to look away and pitifully tried to gain sympathy.

"Wanwan, I didn't know it was a bid document. I originally thought it was just an unimportant document, and the document has already been given to President Lu, so I have no use for it."

She blurted out in a panic, trying to shirk her responsibilities, but Lu Yuntian was a shrewd old fox in the business world. Now it was clear that he would gain nothing by continuing to protect Bian Jiahui.

He would never admit to what Bian Jiahui just said. If he did, it would be tantamount to admitting that he stole trade secrets. "What documents? What bidding documents? I already said that what I said before was just a joke. Everyone is competing fairly. How could I possibly know in advance?"

He quickly absolved himself of all responsibility with a few words, claiming he knew nothing about the whole affair. After saying that, he hurriedly tried to find an excuse to leave, not forgetting to completely crush Bian Jiahui's hopes before he went.

He stated that Bian Jiahui had indeed contacted him before, asking for a rather important document, but he had never seen it, nor had he agreed to Bian Jiahui's request for money.

Watching Lu Yuntian leave, I didn't intend to make things difficult for him any further. Although the methods he used weren't clean, he wasn't my true enemy.

Such acts of kicking someone when they're down are commonplace in the business world. My real goal is to ensure that Bian Jiahui can never recover, and ideally, to drag Song Chenhao into it as well.

"Bian Jiahui, even now you still won't talk, did someone instruct you to steal this document?"

Bian Jiahui remained silent, her gaze fixed on her, and continued to intimidate her, saying, "You don't handle business matters much. If someone orchestrated this, your guilt isn't that serious... you..."

Before she could finish speaking, her father's cold, hard voice suddenly rang in her ears, "Wanwan, that's enough!"

I turned to look at my father, my face full of confusion, not understanding what he meant.

My dad frowned more and more, glanced at me before speaking, "The bidding is over. This is all a misunderstanding. There's no need to call the police."

I don't understand why, with all the evidence laid bare, they still insist it's all a misunderstanding. "Dad, could the surveillance footage be faked?"

As soon as I finished speaking my question, my father's face grew even uglier. He stared at me intently for a moment, then calmly said, "There was a document that day that I asked Jia Hui to retrieve for me. Wanwan, these are all misunderstandings. Let's leave it at that!"

After he finished speaking, not only was I shocked, but I also saw the same shock on Bian Jiahui's face.

This made me realize immediately that my dad was lying to protect her.

But why!

My dad turned and left, not giving me a chance to continue speaking.
