From cannon fodder villain to superpowered queen

Bi Yao stared at the soaring figures on the report and couldn't help but gasp: "Have prices skyrocketed? It's outrageous!" Jiang Ruiyuan put down the phone, his face grave: "I contacted several suppliers, and they all said that raw material supplies are tight recently, so prices have naturally risen." "Coincidence? I don't believe it." Bi Yao narrowed her eyes, keenly sensing something amiss. "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! I want to see who's behind this!"

After some investigation, all the clues pointed to a mysterious organization called "Universal Group".

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan looked at the information displayed on the computer screen, their expressions growing increasingly serious.

Huanyu Group is a low-profile yet powerful business tycoon with tentacles reaching into various fields.

"This water is deeper than I imagined..." Bi Yao murmured to herself.

Jiang Ruiyuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his eyes sharp: "It seems that the opponent we've encountered this time is no ordinary one." The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a burning fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

"We'll meet force with force, and we'll dam water with earth. What's there to be afraid of!" Bi Yao clenched her fists, her eyes gleaming with confidence.

Huanyu Group seemed to have noticed Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan's investigation, and soon after, several men in suits came to their door.

The man in the lead looked arrogant, his tone carrying an undisguised threat: "Let me give you a piece of advice: some things are better left unattended, otherwise..." He paused deliberately, his eyes sweeping contemptuously over Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan, "...you'll have to bear the consequences."

Bi Yao sneered, "Threatening me? Don't you even know who I am!" Jiang Ruiyuan remained calm, but his eyes were as cold as ice: "We are upright and honest, why would we be afraid of you clowns?" The air was thick with tension, ready to explode at any moment.

The man smirked coldly: "You won't listen to reason, so don't blame us for being impolite!" He waved his hand, and the men behind him immediately took a step closer, ready to attack.

Jiang Ruiyuan gripped Bi Yao's hand tightly and whispered, "Yao Yao, don't be afraid, I'm here." Bi Yao gripped his hand back and gave him a resolute look.

Just then, Jiang Ruiyuan's phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and said to the man, "Wait a minute." Then he answered the phone, "Hello?... Okay, I understand." After hanging up, Jiang Ruiyuan gave a meaningful smile, "Alright, I agree."

Jiang Ruiyuan hung up the phone, a fake smile plastered on his face, like a fox who had just stolen some fish: "Brothers, it's been a pleasure working with you!" The people from Huanyu Group were smug, thinking their scheme had succeeded, little did they know that Jiang Ruiyuan had already laid a trap.

No sooner had they left than Jiang Ruiyuan pulled out his phone and dialed a mysterious number: "Hey, is this Old A? The fish's taken the bait..."

In the following days, Jiang Ruiyuan adopted the "pretend to be an innocent rabbit" mode, obeying all the demands of Huanyu Group, and even pretending to be completely terrified by them, living in constant fear of offending these "big shots".

Meanwhile, Huanyu Group was immersed in the joy of impending success, lowered its guard, and engaged in all sorts of illegal operations with unbridled abandon, much like a party before being caught cheating on an exam.

All of this was secretly recorded by Jiang Ruiyuan, becoming irrefutable evidence to bring them down later.

Bi Yao watched Jiang Ruiyuan's performance with admiration in her eyes. It was a real pity that this guy wasn't an actor.

The good times didn't last long, as Huanyu Group soon discovered Jiang Ruiyuan's "outward compliance but inward defiance".

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the door to Bi Yao's office was kicked open.

A dozen or so burly men in black filed in, each with a fierce and menacing look, clearly not to be trifled with.

Following closely behind was a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a suit, carrying a briefcase, exuding an air of sophistication; he was clearly a lawyer.

"Miss Bi, Mr. Jiang, our boss requests your presence." The man with the gold-rimmed glasses spoke coldly, his eyes carrying a hint of contempt.

The surrounding employees trembled with fear and hid in corners, watching the sudden "show" with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension.

Despite the overwhelming situation, Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan remained remarkably calm.

Jiang Ruiyuan's lips curled into a cold smile: "You think you can rely on this rabble?"

Bi Yao calmly organized the documents on the table, as if none of this concerned her.

"Hmph, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!" The burly man at the head roared and charged at Jiang Ruiyuan, swinging his fist.

Jiang Ruiyuan's eyes sharpened, and he was about to make a move when Bi Yao suddenly grabbed his hand and gently shook her head.

"Let me do it." Bi Yao's voice was soft, but it carried an undeniable authority.

She slowly stood up, a cold glint flashing in her eyes...

Bi Yao's eyes sharpened, and a faint golden light suddenly emanated from her body.

Before the burly man's fist could even touch her, he was repelled by an invisible force and slammed heavily to the ground with a scream.

Seeing this, the other burly men froze on the spot, looking at each other in bewilderment, and for a moment dared not step forward.

This woman is a bit strange!

"That's it? I thought you were some kind of expert, but it turns out you're just all show and no substance." Bi Yao's lips curled into a mocking smile, her tone full of disdain. "Next!"

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses pushed up his glasses, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He opened his briefcase, pulled out a stack of documents, and said in an icy tone, "Ms. Bi, Mr. Jiang, according to our country's laws..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Ruiyuan interrupted him: "Stop! Don't give me any legal advice. Do you really think you can cover up all the dirty deeds your Huanyu Group has done?" He took out a USB drive from his pocket and waved it in front of the man with gold-rimmed glasses. "What's in here is enough to give you a hard time."

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses' expression changed, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

Before he could even begin to defend himself, Jiang Ruiyuan plugged the USB drive into the computer, and the screen displayed evidence of various illegal operations by Huanyu Group.

"This...this...this is a fake!" The man with the gold-rimmed glasses trembled slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Forgery? Should I call the witnesses in for a face-to-face confrontation?" Jiang Ruiyuan smiled like a cunning fox, his eyes full of mockery.

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses was completely speechless, his face pale, and he wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

The burly men behind him also hung their heads in dejection, their imposing manner completely gone.

“Now, it’s our turn to settle accounts.” Bi Yao’s voice was icy, like a judgment from hell.

The news spread rapidly online like a virus, exposing the scandal of the Huanyu Group and drawing a flood of public condemnation.

Once a glamorous business tycoon, he has now become a pariah, his image completely collapsed.

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan exchanged a smile, their eyes filled with the joy of victory.

However, just when they thought everything had settled down, a mysterious phone call shattered the peace...

"Be careful, they have a backup plan..."
