A brief silence fell over the scene.

Meng Shen silently clapped.

Master Yue is truly amazing, a model son-in-law for all!

"Old man, what are you talking about?" In the silence, Yu Wan changed the subject.

Yu Jianguo said resentfully, "I brought you breakfast, and some... old hen soup." He glared at Tang Yue angrily, thinking that he shouldn't have brought this kid any special nourishing soup, it would have made him furious.

"Thank you, Dad." Tang Yue smiled and immediately expressed his gratitude, his face full of sincerity.

"..." Damn it!

Yu Jianguo felt an even greater tightness in his chest.

Yu Wan glanced at her watch; it was already 7:23. She urged, "We're going to be late for work soon, old man, you should hurry up." She was so sleepy; she'd just take another nap.

"My daughter..."

"Leave breakfast anywhere on the coffee table, and remember to close the door when you go out."

"I……"

"Bang!"

"..."

This day will be unforgettable for Yu Jianguo.

First, he was forced to accept a son as his father; then, his daughter ruthlessly kicked him out of work. Standing atop the Yu Group building, overlooking most of Jiangcheng, he couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness. What good is power and influence when his daughter is about to be kidnapped? Who will he spend all his hard-earned money on?

"Chairman, something has happened." After receiving permission, Secretary Gao pushed open the door and entered, holding a stack of documents in his hands: "There has been a death at the Universal Studios development project construction site. For some reason, the people below are covering it up, and the family has already taken the matter to the media."

Yu Jianguo took the documents with a cold expression, flipped through them for a while, and then angrily slammed them on the table: "Notify all senior executives to hold a meeting immediately."

A storm is brewing.

The sky was filled with heavy, dark clouds, so oppressive that it was almost impossible to breathe.

Just as Yu Wan reached the teaching building, she heard a loud "boom," and soon after, hail mixed with large raindrops began to pelt down.

The crowd gathered in small groups, discussing something with excited expressions, occasionally bursting into excited shouts.

Yu Wan withdrew her gaze without much interest until she vaguely heard a familiar violin melody and stopped in her tracks.

This is……

"Happy New Year, Yu! It's been a long time!" Yan Ge greeted him with a guitar slung over her shoulder and beaming. "By the way, are you going to participate in the National College Student 'Light Year' Violin Competition, which is organized by Ellen in conjunction with the National Music Association? I'll lead all the members of the D.song band to cheer you on later."

Yu Wan gave a lazy "oh".

"You're not interested?" Yan Ge covered her mouth in surprise. "That's a national-level competition. The winner will represent our country overseas to compete against world-class violinists. You..."

"Pfft!"

A mocking laugh from the corner interrupted Yan Ge's words.

"Are you crazy? You actually encouraged the school bully to participate in a violin competition?" Wang Minlin tossed her flamboyant brown wavy hair and swayed as she walked forward: "Are you going to have Yu Wan go on stage and perform breaking a boulder on her chest?"

Yu Wan lifted her eyelids and glanced at her, a hint of surprise flashing in her calm eyes. She hadn't seen her for a whole holiday; had Wang Minlin... been possessed?

It's so flamboyant and sexy.

"What kind of look is that?" Wang Minlin glared at Yu Wan fiercely, her voice sharp and menacing: "Look at me again and I'll gouge your eyes out."

Yu Wan clicked her tongue, finding it quite interesting.

"bring it on."

She casually raised her chin, remaining motionless.

Wang Minlin met those clear, bright eyes, and a chill ran through her as the fear of being dominated in the past seemed to return. "You...you won't be arrogant for long, just you wait." With that harsh remark, she fled in a disheveled state, her high heels clicking on the floor.

Watching her retreating figure, Yu Wan narrowed her eyes, lost in thought. Either something bad was about to happen to the Yu family, or Wang Minlin had found a powerful backer.

"Yu, I think I've caused you some trouble." Yan Ge said apologetically. If she hadn't spoken up first, Wang Minlin wouldn't have had the chance to cause trouble.

Yu Wan took back her schoolbag: "It's none of your business."

Just then, the school bell rang. The two exchanged a glance and hurried toward their respective classrooms.

I spent both classes in a state of unease.

After school, Yu Wan first called Yu Jianguo, but no one answered. So she had to call Secretary Gao.

The background noise on the other end was intense, with words like "profiteer" and "human death" faintly escaping her lips, intensifying her unease. She took a deep breath and asked first, "What happened?"

Secretary Gao gave a concise report on the situation.

It turned out that an accident had occurred at the construction site before the Spring Festival. One person died and two were injured. The contractor, fearing liability, deliberately concealed the incident. Coincidentally, the third day was Lunar New Year's Eve. He feigned concern for the injured's families, shifting all blame to the company's inaction, and then absconded with the remaining money.

The family members, having waited in vain for a response, banded together and leaked the news to the media. As a result, a large number of media outlets rushed to the construction site, and a barrage of negative news broke online.

It's clear that the Yu Group has been set up.

This issue isn't difficult to resolve, but other businesses under the brand will definitely be affected to some extent. In particular, the newly launched VR glasses experienced a massive wave of returns within just two hours.

Yu Wan pondered for a few seconds and said, "Send someone to secretly investigate the Gao Group and the Wang Group to see if they have had any close business dealings recently."

"OK."

The heavy hailstorm that started this morning has stopped, but the clouds in the distance are rolling, suggesting that another heavy rain is on the way.

Yu Wan gave a mocking smirk and stepped out of the teaching building.
