The following day, the official Sunrise team released a video in which Shen Zhonghai, taking advantage of the research and development team's inattention, secretly stole the character designs that Sunrise staff had already developed from the computer and copied the file named 'Secret' to his own hard drive.

Then he left as if nothing had happened.

The trending topic instantly topped the charts; such strong evidence left Feng Yun speechless.

Not long after, the "Final Battle" was forced to go offline. Fengyun Company fired Liu Guoping and publicly apologized online, but netizens didn't buy it at all. As for the netizens who did buy into Fengyun's story, they are probably busy receiving court summons right now.

Shen Wuye's legal team collected all the insults directed at Bai Yan from that time; he didn't care about the money.

However, those who had previously criticized Bai Yan cared about their reputation and were afraid of being implicated in the case file. Suddenly, the internet was filled with voices apologizing to Bai Yan.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have slandered Ms. Bai Yan. She established herself in the gaming industry through her own abilities, but I narrowly assumed that she was Mr. Ri Mu Chen's lover and that she rose to power through improper relationships. I was wrong, I'm sorry."

Among the many apology statements, Shen Wuye responded with this one.

"She is not my lover, she is my fiancée."

In an instant, the trending topics exploded again, but this time most of them were blessings. One is a top-notch moneybag, and the other is a top-notch technician. How could they not be a good match?

...

The market was dominated by the declining "Zhu Lu Zhong Yuan" (a term referring to a fierce competition for market share), and Feng Yun suffered a complete defeat in the two business battles, especially the "Final Battle," which drained Feng Yun's resources.

After losing a lot of money on "The Final Battle", Chairman Zheng returned to his old business. Multiplayer battle games are expensive and risky, so they gave up on them and turned their attention to the huge female market instead.

Inspired by the 'I Have a Date with My Crush' theme at dusk, they released a game called 'A Date with the Stars'.

Both are male gods, both involve weekly missions and dates, and both involve drawing SSR cards.

Chairman Zheng sat down in the leather chair with a sense of relief: "I was naive too. Actually, women's money is the easiest to earn."

"They buy clothes and lipsticks without batting an eye, let alone games? Let's get a dozen or twenty paper dolls and have them take turns celebrating their birthdays every month."

Thinking back to those days when he was making a fortune, Chairman Zheng could practically wake up laughing from his dreams.

But his dream ended quickly.

Female players simply didn't buy it.

"Holy crap, what straight guy designed this game? If I went on a date with my boyfriend and he made me do his laundry and cook for him, praising me as a virtuous wife and loving mother, I'd turn on him on the spot!"

"What the hell? It's the 21st century, and I still have to compete for affection with other people in a game?"

"Can men please give female-oriented games back to girls?"

"I came to the game after a long day at work looking for companionship, not to torture myself... Which idiot made this game? He can play it himself, I'm not playing it!"

Fengyun's company is rotten to the core. The producers, led by Liu Guoping, had long been accustomed to giving up. Perhaps they once had talent, but talent will disappear if it is not used.

They were also too arrogant, looking down on women and thinking that women's games were easy money-makers, without even understanding the core of the game.

After being criticized and taken offline by female netizens for its "Starry Night" promise, Fengyun has completely degenerated into a third-rate company.

The Chu family was already deeply intertwined with Feng Yun, and Feng Yun's decline led to the complete collapse of the Chu family...

Under Shen Wuye's suppression, Chu Hanchen, who had been pretending to be bankrupt, actually went bankrupt six months later. That day also happened to be Shen Wuye's grandfather's funeral, where Chu Hanchen met Shen Wuye.

He looked at his uncle with some resentment—he felt it shouldn't be like this; he should have torn off this man's glamorous exterior and then crushed his face under his feet.

"Uncle, you've been betrayed by everyone. What's the point of keeping the Shen family like this?" Chu Hanchen couldn't help but stab Shen Wuye in the back.

Shen Wuye said, "Yes."

He curled his lips into a smile, and after his expensive leather shoes stepped over the stairs, he turned back and said a few more words to Chu Hanchen: "You say you like Xiao Yan, but you've never really understood her."

"She accepted those gifts back then because they were food and drinks that couldn't be returned. She grew up relying on her mother and couldn't bear to waste them."

"She accepted the gift, but she gave them the money."

“She was never a gold digger. As for you…” Shen Wuye sneered, “Your mother, my sister, she did sacrifice everything for your father, but while she was lying in the ground, your father had several illegitimate children who were older than you.”

"True love? Ha."

After saying that, Shen Wuye got into the black Bentley, and the car sped away, leaving Chu Hanchen standing there.

Wrong, wrong! All of it is wrong!

Chu Hanchen's eyes were bloodshot. If he hadn't tested Bai Yan, he would be the one receiving everyone's blessings now, instead of the situation he was in now...

Chu Hanchen's regret didn't last long, because the phone rang. The collapse of Fengyun had caused Chu's father to lose all the family business he had worked so hard for most of his life, and Shen Wuye showed no mercy to his former brother-in-law.

After being charged with embezzlement and other crimes, Shen's pampered father was so frightened that he suffered a stroke and became paralyzed. Of course, instead of going to jail, he was hospitalized.

"It's time to pay the hospital fees, Mr. Chu." The hospital bill completely overwhelmed Chu Hanchen.

It's only 20,000 yuan... It used to be just a meal for him, but now he doesn't even have 2,000 yuan and is burdened with debts he can never pay off in his lifetime.

After finishing this meal, Chu Hanchen wondered where the next meal would come from. He thought of Jiang Yurou again. He had distanced himself from her because of Bai Yan, and he wondered if she was angry.
