Shen Baiyan, looking utterly dejected, was helped back to the luxury car by Xu Han.

Just then, Shen Baiyan's phone rang.

Upon seeing that it was Jiang Jinyu calling, he smashed his phone.

He regretted it as soon as he smashed it. He had only thought that Jiang Jinyu was there to force him to give up the 'Yufeng Project', but he forgot that he could ask Jiang Jinyu to confirm whether Su Wan was dead or not.

Although Su Wan's grave was right in front of him, he still couldn't believe that Su Wan had really passed away so silently.

He wanted to hear from other people that Su Wan was not dead.

He suspected that Gu Chu was lying to him.

"Xu Han, give me your phone!" Shen Baiyan ordered.

Xu Han took out his phone and handed it to Shen Baiyan. Just as Shen Baiyan was about to take the phone, he suddenly remembered that he didn't remember Jiang Jinyu's number.

"Get through to Jiang Jinyu on the phone!"

Xu Han dialed Jiang Jinyu's number.

The phone rang several times before being answered.

Jiang Jinyu looked at the unfamiliar caller ID with a puzzled expression. His assistant, Chen Ke, reminded him, "President Jiang, this number belongs to Xu Han, President Shen's assistant."

Jiang Jinyu then answered the phone, his voice tinged with a hint of languor: "President Chen, what do you think...?"

Before he could even utter the words "Is it working?", Shen Baiyan abruptly interrupted him.

"Jiang Jinyu, have you seen Su Wan recently?" Shen Baiyan asked.

"What?"

Jiang Jinyu was momentarily stunned; he hadn't expected Shen Baiyan to come to him looking for Su Wan.

"Shen Baiyan, are you asking the wrong person? You're asking me about your woman? Do you want me to have met her or not?" Jiang Jinyu retorted.

Shen Baiyan angrily said, "Speak! Did you see it or not!"

"Why should I tell you? Beep beep beep..." Jiang Jinyu didn't tolerate Shen Baiyan and hung up the phone directly.

With these questions in mind, Jiang Jinyu called Gu Chu.

"Initially".

"Speak properly," Gu Chu said coldly.

Jiang Jinyu then spoke seriously: "Gu Chu, has something happened to Su Wan?"

"Beep beep beep..." Gu Chu hung up the phone.

The call was disconnected, and then Jiang Jinyu's phone rang a few times.

It was a WeChat message sent to him by Gu Chu.

Jiang Jinyu opened WeChat.

Several photos suddenly came into view.

Looking at Su Wan's tombstone in the photo, Jiang Jinyu was shocked: "How could this be!"

He looked at Chen Ke beside him in disbelief: "Su Wan is actually dead!"

"No wonder...no wonder!" Jiang Jinyu suddenly understood why Shen Baiyan had called him looking for Su Wan; he probably didn't believe Su Wan was dead.

Seeing his boss's shocked expression, Chen Ke asked in confusion, "President Jiang, what's wrong?"

Jiang Jinyu showed the photos to her assistant.

Chen Ke was shocked when he saw Su Wan's tombstone: "Miss Su is actually dead!"

Even Chen Ke couldn't believe it: "How could Miss Su be dead?"

Jiang Jinyu seemed to understand something and murmured, "So, because Su Wan died, Chu Chu rejected me and made me sign the agreement? Was she heartbroken and desperate?"

Jiang Jinyu knew what Su Wan meant to Gu Chu. Judging from Gu Chu's usual attitude towards Su Wan, Su Wan was like life to Gu Chu. How could she feel good if Gu Chu lost his life?

After figuring it out, Jiang Jinyu said nervously, "Chen Ke, prepare the car!"

He had to go see Gu Chu immediately!

Meanwhile, Shen Baiyan returned to the Park Hyatt Villa, completely dazed and confused, deeply obsessed with Su Wan's death.

"They're lying to me, they must be lying! Wanwan isn't dead, she's not dead."

He returned to his room muttering to himself, and as soon as he sat down, he suddenly stood up, his eyes narrowing: "Xu Han, come with me to dig up a grave tonight. I want to see Wanwan!"

Night!

night?

Digging up graves?

No!

The CEO has gone mad!

No, I have to tell the lady and the others about this.

Xu Han pretended to comply with Shen Baiyan, and when he found an opportunity, he left the room and called Madam Shen and Mr. Shen, who were living abroad.

Upon hearing that Shen Baiyan had an accident, the couple immediately prepared to pack their things and return to China.

Jiang Jinyu went to find Gu Chu, but Gu Chu refused to see him. After being harassed by Jiang Jinyu's phone calls, Gu Chu blacklisted him again.

Gu Chu also sent the explicit photos to Gu Qingling.

Soon, a large number of explicit photos of Shen Baiyan and Gu Qingling appeared online, and various trending search terms were exposed, pushing the Shen Group directly into the eye of the storm by netizens.

Shen's stock price plummeted to trading halt within a single day.

The Shen Group's public relations department was in complete chaos. Who could have predicted that their CEO, who had been keeping quiet all along, would suddenly make a stunning move and catch them completely off guard?

Shen Baiyan hadn't even recovered from Su Wan's passing when he encountered another crisis for the group.

That night, he and Xu Han dug up Su Wan's grave, and Shen Baiyan broke down when he saw the urn containing her ashes.

He locked himself in the room where Su Wan had stayed for three days and three nights.

Shen Baiyan only opened the door when his parents appeared.

With his parents' encouragement, Shen Baiyan rallied and convened a shareholders' meeting.

The public relations department's solution to the crisis was to have Shen Baiyan hold a press conference to announce his marriage to the heiress of the Gu Group.

As soon as this plan was proposed, Shen Baiyan fired the public relations manager.

With the Gu, Jiang, and Qi families stirring things up, the situation escalated. The person in charge of the Yufeng Project A contacted Shen Baiyan directly, demanding that he quell the public outcry within three days. Otherwise, Party A would forcibly take back the Yufeng Project from Shen's hands on the grounds of a crisis at Party B's company.

Shen Baiyan was caught in a dilemma, torn between the 'Yufeng Project' and his guilt towards Su Wan.
