Shi Group, President's Office.

Shi Heng stood in front of the bathroom mirror, his fingertips gently stroking the newly tattooed word "Youbao" below his collarbone.

The inky lines are particularly eye-catching on the cold white skin, as if the most precious treasure is engraved into the bones and blood.

He was in a good mood and tied his tie carefully.

“Dongdong——”

There was a knock on the door, and Shi Heng immediately stopped smiling and returned to his usual calm expression.

"Come in."

Assistant Qin pushed the door open and walked in with a serious expression.

"Mr. Shi, Director Shi and several shareholders are waiting for you in the conference room. They look like they have bad intentions."

Shi Heng sighed softly, and his slender fingers unconsciously touched the tattoo on his collarbone.

His second uncle Shi Zhengfeng has been against him in every way since he took over the position of president, and it seems that trouble will arise again today.

"Since Second Uncle wants to play so much, then play with him."

Shi Heng adjusted the cuffs of his suit, his eyes growing colder.

2:00 p.m., conference room on the 28th floor.

Shi Heng pushed the door open and walked in. Shi Zhengfeng was slamming his hand on the table and shouting, "Ten days! In just ten days, the stock price has increased by 30 billion. Who knows if there's something fishy going on here?"

The conference room suddenly became quiet.

Shi Heng walked calmly to the main seat and sat down.

"Second Uncle is so angry, is he dissatisfied with my work?"

Shi Zhengfeng threw a stack of documents on the table and said, "The South District commercial project is about to receive tax incentives. Why are you cutting them just like that?"

"And that intelligent management system is suspected of illegally collecting employee data!"

“Not to mention the new energy project, there’s no contract signed at all!”

Upon hearing this, several shareholders began to whisper to each other.

Shi Heng drank his tea slowly and motioned to Assistant Qin to turn on the projector.

"First, the concrete grade of the underground parking lot of the South District project failed to meet the standards. Here is the quality inspection report."

A red-headed document appeared on the screen.

"Secondly, the data collection of intelligent systems is completely legal, as approved by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology."

He put down the teacup and looked at Shi Zhengfeng sharply.

"As for the new energy project, Uncle, could you please explain why your brother-in-law's company knew about our procurement plan in advance?"

The projection switches to show bank statements and email exchanges.

Shi Zhengfeng's face turned pale in an instant.

"Even more coincidentally," Shi Heng pulled up another surveillance video, "the HR director who was eliminated by the system just transferred 2 million yuan in hush money to you yesterday."

The conference room was silent.

Shi Heng stood up and said, "I propose that Director Shi's duties be suspended to cooperate with the group's internal investigation."

The vote was passed unanimously without any suspense.

Shi Zhengfeng's face turned pale and the pen in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang".

He stood up slowly, and even Director Zhang, who was usually the most flattering to him, lowered his head and did not dare to look him in the eye.

Shi Heng watched Shi Zhengfeng leave the meeting room in disgrace, his fingers unconsciously touching the new tattoo on his collarbone.

The word "Youbao" still stung a little, but it also brought warmth to his heart.

I don’t know when she will wake up from the hospital bed.

How he wanted to let her see it right now, and have her name engraved on his body forever.

…

Fernando's manor in Country Y.

Chu Beiyuan woke up in severe pain, and the stabbing pain in his right leg made him gasp.

His already injured legs were stabbed again by Mu Xuewei with a dinner knife at the engagement party, and the wounds were now burning with pain.

He opened his eyes with difficulty and found himself lying in an unfamiliar luxurious bedroom.

Memories gradually returned.

He remembered that he was being escorted back to the police station when the police car was suddenly attacked and then plunged into darkness.

The door was flung open, and Fernando strode in with Ryan.

Fernando looked down at Chu Beiyuan and said sarcastically, "You've tormented yourself like this for a woman. You're quite capable."

Chu Beiyuan endured the pain and stood up, "Mu Xuewei..."

"Still thinking about that bitch?"

Fernando threw back the blanket, revealing a bloody bandage. "Look at you! If I hadn't intervened, you'd be rotting in jail right now!"

Ryan stood aside with his arms folded, saying coldly, "I was going to bring you back together. Suddenly, three men in black robes appeared. They were very evil and kidnapped you."

Chu Beiyuan clutched the bed sheet tightly, the pain in his leg making him break out in a cold sweat.

Now that a domestic arrest warrant has been issued and all overseas assets have been frozen, he knows better than anyone that he has nowhere else to go.

"I am on the arms line between Country Y and Country M..."

Chu Beiyuan revealed all of the Chu family's underground trading channels in these two countries, "From now on, all of these are yours."

Fernando patted his face with satisfaction and said, "You're smart. Remember, from today on, you're my dog."

He turned to leave, then turned back and said, "Take good care of your injuries. When you're well, there will be plenty of opportunities to settle accounts with Shi Heng."

The door closed, and Chu Beiyuan stared at his legs wrapped in bandages, his eyes flashing with deep hatred.

He vowed to take back the humiliation Shi Heng had brought upon him a thousandfold.

…

The president's office of Yuncheng Han Group.

Han Jingchen rubbed his temples, and there was a faint dark blue in his eyes.

He barely slept last night.

As soon as I close my eyes, I see the image of the woman in the red dress lying in a pool of blood, which is like an unforgettable nightmare.

On the spread-out notepaper on the table was the sentence he had copied from the family tree:

[Jiuchen cursed with his blood before dying: Han seeks but cannot obtain, Shi loves but must kill the one he loves.]
