From cannon fodder villain to superpowered queen

Qian Duoduo, what a treacherous fellow!

Bi Yao clenched the note in her hand. The writing on the note was blurry, but it felt like a thorn stuck in her heart.

The flowers and applause that once surrounded them have now turned into suspicious and scrutinizing eyes.

Those once enthusiastic faces are now filled with hesitation and distrust.

Bi Yao felt as if a huge rock was pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.

Jiang Ruiyuan's expression was also not good; his deep eyes were filled with exhaustion.

The atmosphere in the office was so oppressive it was suffocating.

The once-thriving charity project has now been forced to halt due to funding and trust issues.

The phone rang incessantly, filled with inquiries and questions; each word felt like a knife, stabbing deeply into their hearts.

"Yuan, what... what should we do?" Bi Yao's voice trembled slightly; she had never felt so powerless.

Jiang Ruiyuan held her hand and gave her an encouraging look.

"Don't be afraid, Yao Yao, we can do it. The innocent will remain innocent, and the guilty will remain guilty."

However, the reality was far more brutal than they had imagined.

Children in impoverished mountain areas who had once received their sponsorship lost their opportunity to attend school due to the suspension of the project; patients awaiting surgery could only continue to endure the torment of their illnesses due to a lack of funds…

The helpless faces and the desperate sighs were like sharp blades, piercing Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan's hearts.

Bi Yao's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in them.

She thought of the children's innocent smiles and the patients' longing for life, and her heart ached.

她深吸一口气，努力控制住自己的情绪。

"This can't go on any longer!" Bi Yao suddenly stood up, her eyes flashing with determination.

"Yuan, we have to do something!"

Jiang Ruiyuan also stood up, his eyes burning with the same flame.

"Yes, we want to prove ourselves. We want everyone to know that our original aspirations have never changed!"

Bi Yao walked to the window, looking at the bustling city outside, her eyes gradually becoming deep.

“Yuan…” she turned around, her tone firm, “I have an idea…”

Bi Yao's idea was simple yet bold—to hold a public charity briefing to directly address public concerns.

消息一出，立刻引起轩然大波。

Some people supported it, some mocked it, and most just watched and waited.

On the day of the briefing, Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan arrived at the scene early.

The venue was decorated simply yet solemnly, with every detail reflecting their dedication.

However, what they didn't know was that a pair of sinister eyes were lurking in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike.

How could a business tycoon like Qian Duoduo let them off so easily?

He sent one of his men, a seasoned journalist skilled in disguise, to infiltrate the venue.

At the start of the briefing, Bi Yao calmly and methodically explained the project's operational process and disclosed all the accounts.

Jiang Ruiyuan then used his unique affability to answer the public's questions.

Just when things seemed to be going very well, the "reporter" suddenly launched an attack, throwing out one sharp question after another, each word piercing and barbed, like bombs exploding in the meeting room.

"Ms. Bi, how do you explain this huge 'other expenses' in the accounts?" "Mr. Jiang, someone has reported that your company is involved in tax evasion. Is this true?" "It is said that your charity projects have not truly helped those in need. What is your response to this?"

The atmosphere at the scene instantly became tense, with questions rising one after another.

Bi Yao felt a wave of dizziness and tried her best to remain calm.

Jiang Ruiyuan clenched his fists, a flash of anger in his eyes.

They knew that someone was deliberately causing trouble.

"Yaoyao, don't be afraid," Jiang Ruiyuan said softly, his eyes firm.

He looked around and his gaze fell on the surveillance camera in the corner of the venue.

A thought flashed through his mind.

He walked to the center of the podium, took a deep breath, and calmly said, "This 'reporter' gentleman, your question is very pertinent. It seems you've done a lot of 'homework' on us. However, I would like to ask everyone to watch this video."

On the big screen, footage of the secret meeting between the "reporter" and Qian Duoduo's men, as well as their plot to sabotage the briefing, was displayed.

The reporter's face turned deathly pale instantly, his eyes darted around, and he tried to flee the scene, but was stopped by security guards.

Bi Yao looked at Jiang Ruiyuan, her eyes filled with gratitude. Jiang Ruiyuan gave her a reassuring look.

“Yaoyao,” Jiang Ruiyuan gently took Bi Yao’s hand, “this is just the beginning…”

When the truth came out, the meeting room erupted in uproar.

Qian Duoduo's conspiracy was exposed, and he was like a clown stripped naked, revealing his ugly side in front of everyone.

The "reporter" who was just moments ago so aggressive is now drooping like a wilted eggplant.

Jiang Ruiyuan held Bi Yao's hand tightly, the warmth of his palm conveying his determination and love.

"Don't be afraid, Yao Yao, I'm here." Bi Yao held his hand back, her eyes full of tenderness, as if no storm in the world could separate them.

Those around them watched this scene with envy in their eyes. This is such a fairytale romance, they're totally swooning!

可事情还没完。

Just then, the venue doors were suddenly pushed open, and a man in a suit and tie with his hair neatly combed walked in, followed by a group of bodyguards in black, each of them burly and imposing.

Needless to say, this person is none other than Qian Duoduo.

"You, Bi Yao, Jiang Ruiyuan, how dare you scheme against me!" Qian Duoduo gritted her teeth, her eyes blazing with anger.

The bodyguards quickly dispersed, surrounding Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan, as if they were about to attack at any moment.

The atmosphere froze instantly, and everyone held their breath, sweating for Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan.

Faced with this sudden change, Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan showed no fear whatsoever.

They smiled at each other, their eyes filled with unspoken understanding.

Jiang Ruiyuan stepped forward, blocking Bi Yao's path, and stared directly at Qian Duoduo, his tone icy: "Qian Duoduo, do you think you can scare us like this? We have evidence of all the despicable things you've done!"

Qian Duoduo's expression changed, clearly not expecting them to have a backup plan.

He forced himself to remain calm and sneered, "Evidence? Hmph, I'd like to see what kind of evidence it is!"

Bi Yao calmly took out a document and waved it in front of Qian Duoduo.

“Mr. Qian, would you like to take a look at this contract that you signed yourself? It clearly states your name on it…” Bi Yao paused deliberately, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

"What does it say?" Qian Duoduo couldn't help but ask.

Bi Yao handed the document to him, saying, "Take a look for yourself."

Qian Duoduo snatched the document, quickly glanced through it, and her face instantly turned deathly pale.

He suddenly raised his head, glared fiercely at Bi Yao, and said through gritted teeth, "You...you all..."

Bi Yao smiled slightly, "Mr. Qian, see you tomorrow."
