From cannon fodder villain to superpowered queen

Bi Yao hung up the phone, her face terribly gloomy.

Pretending to be a god or a ghost, a trivial skill!

Trying to scare her?

There are no doors!

Bi Yao isn't easily intimidated!

However, the phone call also reminded her that the roots of the Jiang family were probably deeper than she had imagined.

To bring it down, you have to cut its roots first!

She immediately contacted Mao Ran and briefly explained the situation.

A deep voice came from Mao Ran's side: "Don't panic, I'll handle it." With him there, he's a pillar of strength!

Bi Yao felt much more at ease.

The third young master of the Jiang family has also been having a hard time lately. Seeing Bi Yao pressing him step by step and the Jiang family teetering on the brink of collapse, he is as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

This spendthrift woman is so hard to deal with!

He gritted his teeth and decided to go find Lord Zhao, who was the Jiang family's last trump card.

"Lord Zhao, you must help our Jiang family! That Bi Yao is simply too much!" Young Master Jiang cried, tears streaming down his face.

Lord Zhao slowly sipped his tea, a contemptuous smile appearing on his greasy face: "What's the panic? What can a little girl do to cause trouble?"

“But…” Young Master Jiang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lord Zhao, “Don’t worry, I have my own arrangements.” He narrowed his eyes, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in them. A mere merchant dared to challenge his authority?

I really don't know how to live or die!

Soon, Bi Yao felt the pressure from the authorities.

Various inspections and fines followed one after another, severely hindering her company's operations.

She knew that it was Lord Zhao who had made the move.

It seems that this old fox is even more troublesome than she imagined.

"Heh, trying to play dirty tricks on me?" Bi Yao sneered, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. "Then let's see who comes out on top!" She dialed a number: "Hey, help me find out all of Lord Zhao's information... the more detailed the better."

A cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone: "No problem, Sister Yao! I've got it covered!"

Meanwhile, news came from Mao Ran's side: "Lord Zhao has recently been in frequent contact with a mysterious organization overseas..." Bi Yao's eyes narrowed; it seemed this situation was more complex than she had imagined...

“Ruiyuan,” Bi Yao’s voice was low and calm, “Make preparations, we’re going to pay a visit to Lord Zhao.” A meaningful smile appeared on her lips; it was time to close the net.

Bi Yao wouldn't be foolish enough to go head-to-head with Lord Zhao in the officialdom; she couldn't compete with him in terms of connections and background.

But when it comes to business tactics, hmph, the old fox might be crying and begging for mercy!

She immediately activated her nationwide business intelligence network to focus on investigating the flow of Zhao's funds.

These days, as long as money is circulating, you're bound to find something fishy going on.

Sure enough, within three days, the intelligence network reported astonishing news: Lord Zhao possessed a huge amount of unexplained assets overseas, and the source of these assets closely matched the "tribute" funds transferred by the Jiang family!

Good heavens, this old fox has been hiding his true colors well!

Bi Yao sneered. This was a great gift delivered right to her doorstep!

She immediately sent the compiled evidence anonymously to the imperial court's supervisory department.

In her whistleblower letter, she detailed Zhao's embezzlement and bribery, presenting a chain of evidence so complete it was like an iron bucket, leaving no room for error.

This bombshell caused an uproar in the imperial court!

The imperial court immediately dispatched people to secretly investigate Lord Zhao.

The news spread like wildfire, and those officials who had once been on friendly terms with the Chiang family now looked as if they had seen a ghost, wishing they could immediately sever all ties with the Chiang family.

When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down; this principle remains unchanged throughout history.

When Young Master Jiang heard the news that Lord Zhao had been dismissed and was under investigation, he was completely dumbfounded.

He slumped into his chair, his face deathly pale, muttering repeatedly, "It's over, it's all over..." He seemed to see the Jiang family's edifice collapsing.

Bi Yao watched all of this without the slightest fluctuation in her eyes.

She slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked down at the city, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

“This is just the beginning…” she said softly, turning to look at Jiang Ruiyuan. “Ruiyuan, get ready, we’re going to meet Old Master Jiang.”

Jiang Ruiyuan looked at Bi Yao with admiration in his eyes as she strategized and won battles from afar.

This woman is amazing!

He gently held Bi Yao's hand, offering her silent support.

Bi Yao grasped his hand in return, feeling the warmth of his palm, and a sense of peace settled in her heart.

It's great to have him here.

On the Jiang family's side, things were in complete chaos.

With Lord Zhao's powerful influence collapsing, the Jiang family was like a spineless tree, instantly collapsing to the ground.

Suppliers came knocking on the door demanding payment, and business partners avoided them like the plague, fearing they would be implicated.

The third young master of the Jiang family was so anxious that blisters appeared on the corners of his mouth. He was running around like a headless fly, but he was completely helpless.

"Brother, what do we do now? If this continues, the Jiang family will really be finished!" Young Master Jiang cried and begged for help from the head of the Jiang family—his eldest brother.

The head of the Jiang family also looked worried. He never expected that Bi Yao would be so powerful, driving the Jiang family to the brink of despair in such a short time.

"What's the panic! Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up!" The Jiang family head forced himself to remain calm, glaring fiercely at the third young master. "Go, transfer all our overseas assets back! Quickly!"

Young Master Jiang felt as if he had been granted a pardon and hurriedly scrambled to carry out the order.

However, what he didn't know was that Bi Yao had anticipated this step long ago and had laid a trap overseas in advance, just waiting for them to walk into it.

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan arrived at the Jiang family's old residence, where Old Master Jiang had been waiting for a long time.

He sat in the armchair, his face terribly gloomy, like the calm before a storm.

"Bi Yao, you've won." Old Master Jiang's voice was low, tinged with resentment. "What do you want?"

Bi Yao smiled slightly, walked up to Old Master Jiang, and looked down at him: "I want the Jiang family to disappear completely."

Old Master Jiang suddenly raised his head, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes: "You dare!"

Bi Yao remained unmoved, her eyes icy: "Let's see if I dare." She took out her phone and dialed a number. "We can begin."

Before Old Master Jiang could react, he heard a commotion outside.

He hurried to the window and saw a group of people in uniform rush into the Jiang family's house and begin to seize the Jiang family's property.

"You...you actually..." Old Master Jiang pointed at Bi Yao, trembling with anger.

Bi Yao sneered, turned and left, leaving behind only a cold, distant figure.

"Old Master, take care of yourself." Jiang Ruiyuan followed closely behind. Before leaving, he gave Old Master Jiang a meaningful look and slowly said, "Times have changed."
