After the divorce, the CEO's ex-wife deeply regretted her actions.

"You were betrayed by Lin Xue. You hate her, and you hate me too. You want revenge, but you have no evidence, and you can't beat me."

"Is that so?" A cold smile curled at the corner of Chen Yun's lips.

"We'll see."

He abruptly hung up the phone, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

Just then, the office door was gently pushed open, and Lin Xue walked in.

She was wearing a black dress, her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with fear and unease.

"Chen Yun, I..." She started to speak, but was so frightened by Chen Yun's cold gaze that she dared not say another word.

"What are you doing here?" Chen Yun's voice was as cold as ice.

Lin Xue bit her lip and said in a trembling voice, "I...I want to talk to you."

Chen Yun sneered, "What's there to talk about between us?"

Tears welled up in Lin Xue's eyes. "I know I was wrong. I'm so sorry..."

"What's the point of saying all this now?" Chen Yun interrupted her mercilessly.

"You have hurt me beyond repair."

Lin Xue cried even harder: "I...I was really forced..."

Lin Xue's tears fell like pearls from a broken string, splashing onto the floor and creating tiny water droplets.

“Chen Yun, I was really forced! Zhao Kai... he threatened me, if I don’t cooperate with him, he will... he will…” She choked up, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Chen Yun looked at the woman in front of him, who was crying her eyes out.

"What does he want?" Chen Yun's voice was low, carrying a hint of suppressed anger.

Lin Xue took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

"He said...if I didn't help him steal company secrets, he...he would release...our private videos...online..."

Chen Yun's pupils suddenly contracted, and a surge of anger welled up from the bottom of his heart, almost consuming him.

He suddenly stood up, walked to the window, clenched his fist tightly until his knuckles turned white.

Lin Xue carefully observed Chen Yun's reaction and continued:

"I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have betrayed you, betrayed the company... But... but I really couldn't... I'm scared... I..."

"Are you scared?" Chen Yun turned around.

"You're afraid the video will be exposed, so you choose to betray me and the company? Have you ever thought about how many people will lose their jobs if the company goes bankrupt? How many families will be broken up because of this?"

Lin Xue trembled. She dared not look Chen Yun in the eye and lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.

"But...I now...I have evidence of Zhao Kai's crimes..."

Lin Xue's voice trembled, carrying a glimmer of hope.

"I can...I can help you..."

Chen Yun sneered, "Help me? What can you possibly do to help me? You've already hurt me deeply enough!"

Lin Xue raised her head:

"I know... I know you won't believe anything I say now... but... I really want to make up for my mistakes... Please... please give me another chance..."

She pulled a USB drive from her bag and handed it to Chen Yun with trembling hands:

"This contains...this contains videos of Zhao Kai engaging in illegal transactions with other companies...as well as information on his criminal accounts...and...evidence of his collusion with foreign forces..."

Chen Yun hesitated for a moment, but ultimately took the USB drive.

He plugged the USB drive into his computer, opened the video, and saw Zhao Kai making a transaction with a stranger. He confessed that he had stolen secrets from Chen Yun's company.

Chen Yun's face grew increasingly grim as he continued to examine the other evidence, becoming more and more alarmed with each reading.

He never imagined that Zhao Kai's crimes would be so serious, even involving foreign forces.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Xue.

He began to re-examine the woman, trying to understand her helplessness and fear at the time.

"Why...why did you do this?" Chen Yun's voice was a little hoarse.

Lin Xue took a deep breath and slowly said, "Because... I don't want to be his puppet... I want... I want to break free from his control..."

Chen Yun was silent for a moment, then said, "Alright, I'll believe you for now. But... if you dare to lie to me again..."

"I dare not! I will never dare to do it again!" Lin Xue said quickly, her eyes full of sincerity.

The two began to discuss their next course of action.

Chen Yun arranged for Xiao Li to secretly protect Lin Xue's safety, while he also began preparing the report materials and organizing and archiving all the evidence.

To avoid alerting Zhao Kai, Chen Yun decided to secretly gather more evidence and wait for the right opportunity to bring him to justice.

Over the next few days, Chen Yun and Xiao Li worked overtime.

They carefully analyzed the evidence provided by Lin Xue and began investigating Zhao Kai's background and network of connections.

One evening, Chen Yun and Xiao Li were discussing the case in the office.

Suddenly, the office lights went out.

"What's going on?" Xiao Li asked, puzzled.

Chen Yun frowned, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

He walked to the window and looked out, only to see that the entire building was shrouded in darkness.

"The power's out?" Xiao Li walked over to Chen Yun and looked outside as well.

At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door.

Chen Yun and Xiao Li exchanged a glance, both seeing wariness in each other's eyes.

"Who?" Chen Yun asked sharply.

"It's me! Lin Xue!" Lin Xue's anxious voice came from outside the door.

Chen Yun hesitated for a moment, but still opened the door.

Lin Xue rushed in, pale-faced and panting.

"Chen Yun...something terrible has happened...Zhao Kai...Zhao Kai, he..."

Before she could finish speaking, a dark figure suddenly darted out of the corridor, and a dagger shot towards Lin Xue.

Before Lin Xue could even finish her cry, the dark figure was already inches away. A flash of cold light, and the dagger was aimed straight at Lin Xue's chest.

In the nick of time, Chen Yun shoved Lin Xue away, the dagger grazing his arm.

A searing pain shot through me instantly, and warm liquid trickled down my arm.

"Chen Yun!"

Lin Xue screamed in terror, her face turning deathly pale as she looked at Chen Yun's blood-stained sleeve.

The attacker was Zhao Kai.

His first attack missed, and with a roar, he swung his dagger at Chen Yun again.

"Oh shit!"

Seeing this, Xiao Li cursed angrily, grabbed the ashtray on the table, and smashed it hard against the back of Zhao Kai's head.

Zhao Kai felt the pain and staggered, but did not fall down.

He turned and swung his knife at Xiao Li, who dodged to the side and then kicked Zhao Kai in the stomach.

The office was thrown into chaos, with desks and chairs overturned and documents scattered all over the floor.

Chen Yun, clutching his injured arm and gritting his teeth, joined the battle.

"Zhao Kai, you're insane!"

Chen Yun roared and punched Zhao Kai in the face.

Zhao Kai's nose was bleeding profusely from the beating, but he swung the dagger even more frantically.

The three were locked in combat, exchanging blows and kicks, creating a chaotic scene.

Despite his arm injury, Chen Yun, through years of training and sheer grit, managed to withstand Zhao Kai's attack.

Xiao Li was equally ruthless, his moves vicious and aimed at Zhao Kai's vitals.

Although Zhao Kai was ruthless, he was ultimately outnumbered.

Under the combined attack of Chen Yun and Xiao Li, he gradually became exhausted and his movements became sluggish.
