Shen Feiwan frowned and put away her phone. Suddenly, Chen Youen's urgent voice came from the study, "Wanwan! Come quick, I found it!"

She rushed back to the study, handing the water glass to Chen Youen as she went.

Chen Youen took the water glass and slammed it on the table, not even bothering to wipe the water splashed on the keyboard. "I'm not drinking anymore, something terrible has happened! Look at this—"

She immediately turned the laptop screen towards Shen Feiwan.

The screen was divided into four monitoring feeds. Chen Youen pointed to the clearest feed in the upper right corner and said, “I sent the address to C. This is the real-time monitoring he obtained after hacking into the security system. Look here, it shows that half an hour ago, local time, Bo Junxing and his entire team were taken away by the local police.”

In the footage, several uniformed police officers are escorting Bo Jun through a corridor.

“What’s worse is this.” Chen You’en switched to the parking lot scene, where a black official car stood out. “It’s the Economic Crime Investigation Bureau’s car. Wanwan, these fabricated economic crimes are the hardest to handle. A few years ago, there was that case involving a multinational corporation from Country B, and the CEO is still in jail. We can’t be sure if this is related to Lin Xiaoyan, but Bo Junxing has definitely been set up.”

The blue light from the screen stung Shen Feiwan's eyes, and she closed them briefly. "It's probably related to Lin Xiaoyan. I finally got through to Bo Junxing when I went to get some water, but Lin Xiaoyan answered. He said Zou Xinyi found him and told him she was pregnant with his child, and he knew everything. The way he spoke just now was as if he wanted to kill me."

"What?" Chen You'en was unaware that something like this had just happened. "Did he make any demands? Like, that he'd let Bo Junxing go if you came back to him?"

Shen Feiwan shook her head. "No, he just smashed his phone."

"That's it, he's going to ruin you all! But he might still have mixed feelings of love and hate for you, but as for Bo Junxing... you know."

Without saying a word, Shen Feiwan dialed Lin Xiaoyan's number directly.

The call was connected very quickly, as if the other party had been waiting for a long time.

"So impatient, huh?" Lin Xiaoyan sneered. "Looks like that man is your true love. Want to know what I did to him?"

Shen Feiwan's breathing was a little heavy, but she responded in an unusually calm tone, "Since you already know about Zou Xinyi, then sign the divorce agreement. Don't you think I'm disgusting?"

A short, sharp laugh came from the other end of the phone. "Shen Feiwan, Shen Feiwan, I realize I don't understand you at all. I thought you valued that man highly, but it turns out you just want a divorce?"

"What kind of person do you think I am?" Shen Feiwan sneered. "I've always put myself first. I want my freedom."

"You want your freedom from me?" Lin Xiaoyan's voice suddenly turned cold. "Then I won't give it to you. And don't even think about messing around with other men. Oh, and I have some bad news for you: Bo Junxing can't go back to Nancheng."

Shen Feiwan already knew about this, but when Lin Xiaoyan said it again, her breath caught in her throat.

“This time, it’s different from what happened to your Shen family,” Lin Xiaoyan said slowly, as if he were enjoying her pain. “Even if you beg me, I can’t help you. And remember this—this is my punishment for you and this bastard.”

Shen Feiwan didn't listen any further and hung up the phone immediately.

Chen Youen, standing to the side, looked grave. "What should we do? This is now a matter between two countries, and it's indeed very tricky."

Shen Feiwan pulled out a chair next to her and sat down, her brows furrowed as she stared at a point in the void. "There will be a way."

Chen Youen glanced at her sideways. "You've already come up with an idea?"

“Not that fast,” Shen Feiwan rubbed her temples. “I’m just trying to reassure myself.”

"...As expected of you, but indeed, you can't afford to lose your composure when something goes wrong."

Shen Feiwan gave a soft "hmm," and said, "Let's notify their grandfather first. After all, he has an entire group behind him, and his resources will be more than mine as an individual."

“That makes sense,” Chen Youen nodded. “Although his father doesn’t get along with you, he shouldn’t be so clueless after Bo Junxing got into such a big mess.”

“Yes.” Shen Feiwan stood up. “Give me the computer. I’m going to the Bo family’s house.”

Chen Youen quickly closed her laptop. "I'll go with you. I'm worried about you going alone."

Half an hour later, the black sedan stopped in front of the grand gate of Bo Garden.

Shen Feiwan walked through the ornate iron gate alone, while Chen Youen waited in the car. To her surprise, Shen Feiwan came out in less than twenty minutes.

"Why so fast?" Chen You'en quickly got out of the car to greet him. "Did his father kick you out?"

“No,” Shen Feiwan walked quickly to the car, “He was faster because he was even more anxious than I was. As soon as I explained the situation to him, he immediately started mobilizing resources from all sides.”

Chen Youen raised an eyebrow. "That's not bad. I thought you'd gotten the short end of the stick."

Shen Feiwan opened the car door. "No. In addition, the old man promised me that he would share information with me and would keep me updated on any progress he made."

"That's good. Things will go much more smoothly now. All we have to do is wait."

Bo Xilai's efficiency in handling affairs is indeed astonishing.

The following evening, Shen Feiwan received a synchronized message from the old man, saying that government departments had officially intervened. However, this transnational game was far more complex than imagined, involving multiple factors such as diplomatic relations, economic sanctions, and technological competition, requiring repeated consultation and weighing of each step.

"We need to be prepared for a long-term commitment." Old Master Bo's voice sounded tired on the phone. "At least a year, at most... there's no upper limit."

Shen Feiwan held her phone, feeling somewhat powerless.

In this war without gunfire, individual strength seems so insignificant.

Seeing Shen Feiwan's serious expression after ending her call with Old Master Bo, Chen You'en immediately asked her, "How is it? Is the situation not optimistic?"

Shen Feiwan frowned and said, "It should be considered optimistic. They will soon file their first lawsuit, and we will apply for residential surveillance. They will be confined to a designated residence, wear GPS electronic monitoring devices 24 hours a day, and all communications will be monitored."

“Sigh,” Chen You’en sighed, “It’s just a different place to go to prison, but the environment is much better than prison, and you have more freedom of movement. If you really stayed in prison, who knows how much suffering you would have to endure, and you might even get secretly killed.”

Shen Feiwan nodded, "This is already a pretty good result. Let's go, wash up and go to bed."

Chen Youen looked at Shen Feiwan, "You can sleep?"

"You have to fall asleep." Shen Feiwan said calmly. "There's no use in worrying. We have things to do tomorrow."

"What is it?" Chen Youen asked curiously.

Shen Feiwan finally smiled. "That's good. Tomorrow, put on some makeup and put together your favorite outfit."

Chen Youen looked bewildered. "What? Why would I do that?"

“I forgot to tell you,” Shen Feiwan’s smile deepened, “my parents and my older brother are coming here to see me tomorrow.”

Chen Youen froze abruptly. "Who did you say? With whom? With whom do your parents?"

“And my eldest brother,” Shen Feiwan repeated, “Shen Xubai.”

"Ah!" Chen Youen suddenly screamed, grabbing Shen Feiwan's hand. "Are you serious? Shen Xubai is back?"

"Would I lie to you about something like this?" Shen Feiwan was amused by her reaction. "He really is back."

Chen Youen excitedly pulled Shen Feiwan, jumping up and down on the spot, "Ahhh, this is great! This is great!" She suddenly stopped, her eyes sparkling, "I'm going to pick out clothes right now! You... are you still in the mood? Why don't you come with me to pick them out? I don't know what kind he likes..."

Shen Feiwan helplessly shrugged, "Actually, I don't know either. But let's go, see what clothes you have in your suitcase, and you can wear mine if you don't like them."

"Ahhh, Wanwan, you're the best!"
