Five days later, at Shi Xing's behest, the patriarch of the Lu family obtained her contact information.

Lu Yihuan has disappeared; they can't find her anywhere.

Without a stable partner, many departments of the company are unable to operate, and the inventory of materials is about to run out.

If we don't find a solution soon, the company will go bankrupt.

The old master of the Lu family personally called Shi Xing, hoping that she would show leniency and let their family off the hook.

"Little girl, let's talk things over. Our Lu family hasn't offended you, there's no need to go too far."

Shi Xing leaned back lazily in her chair, looking down at the city through the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Doesn't Lu Yanting know best whether he has offended your good grandson? I didn't hold it against him before because of Yi Huan, but now..."

She didn't speak too definitively, but Old Master Lu understood what she meant.

“I have Yan Ting personally come to apologize.”

Shi Xing didn't speak, but simply rested his chin on his hand.

Grandpa Lu knew she was dissatisfied, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm an old man, please let it go this time for my sake."

"Ha! What face can a wrinkled old man like you have? Is your big face just because your skin is so wrinkled that it spreads out a lot?" Shi Xing mocked mercilessly, as if he had heard a funny joke.

"You! You ill-mannered wild girl!" Old Master Lu's face turned red with anger.

His phone was on speakerphone, and the Lu family members were all there. How could he possibly save face like that?

Shi Xing's face darkened, and even his voice turned cold: "I think you're the one who's truly ill-mannered. You've been an old codger for a few years and you really think you're an elder? In terms of status, we're equals. Who do you think you are to put on airs in front of me!"

She hung up the phone impatiently and closed her eyes to wait for the next call.

Sure enough, less than five seconds later, the phone rang again from the other end.

Fortunately, the call didn't go through, and the connection was automatically closed.

Then another call came in.

She slowly answered the call when it was almost time to hang up again after a few minutes.

"Mr. Shi, I apologize for my tone earlier."

Shi Xing's lips curled up. He had no right to be arrogant in front of her? Did he really think she was young and easy to bully?

So, what's your family's stance?

"That way, we can do whatever you want, within our means."

"Heh, throwing the problem to me? But Yi Huan said the Lu family treats her well, so I'll give you a hint." Shi Xing said calmly, "As long as a man from your Lu family is in office, this matter will not be left unresolved."

The directness of the words caused the Lu family members' expressions to change.

Old Master Lu cursed loudly, "You brat! I'm only being polite to you because you have some ability, and you've really taken advantage of my kindness!"

Shi Xing scoffed, "What a lack of manners."

After hanging up the phone, she sent messages to Yanmo and the lawyer in Shanghai.

The Lu family received the court summons in the afternoon, which means that the other party had submitted the documents to the court at least five days ago.

The lawsuit alleges that they infringed on your rights.

The Lu family was incredulous. Infringement?

Could it be that she already knows about this?

Lu Yanting suddenly felt a cold sweat break out on his back. A while ago, the talent he had arranged to join Shixing's R&D department sent him some key technologies. How come he was being sued today?

Could it be that the offense she was referring to wasn't the incident at the company last time, but rather their attempt to copy her company's holographic technology?

I received the summons shortly after hanging up the phone. Does that mean she won't sue if she gets a satisfactory result today?

But this is just their speculation; in reality, Shi Xing will take them to court no matter what.

A series of guesses flashed through their minds, but they came to no conclusion.

Lu Yanting's father couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Who hasn't heard of Shi Xing's Sheng Han Law Firm? Almost every large company goes to them when they have a lawsuit.

Sheng Han is known in the legal profession for being difficult to deal with, and commercial lawsuits are their specialty.

The lawsuits they fought for Shi Xing are still fresh in my mind; they never lost a single one of them.

Moreover, the Sheng Han dynasty had a well-known nickname – the Invincible North.

"Yanting, do you think there are any other law firms that can help? We need to hire the best lawyer possible!" Lu Yanting's father paced back and forth anxiously.

Lu Yanting's face turned ashen: "It must have been that traitorous spendthrift Lu Yihuan who told her, otherwise why would she suddenly start targeting our family?"

Old Master Lu's expression was equally unpleasant: "That idiot who betrays us should never have been allowed to work at the company in the first place!"

"I told you all long ago that she's a woman and doesn't understand anything. Now look what's happened, she's ruined the company like this." Lu Yanting complained about his dissatisfaction.

"Alright, what's the use of saying all this now? Hurry up and find a lawyer and deal with the remaining evidence."

"Yes, Grandpa."

This thin piece of paper startled all three men in the Lu family, but they quickly calmed down.

Especially Old Master Lu, in his eyes this childish approach wouldn't harm the company in the slightest.

What can they do if there's no evidence?

Besides, they haven't even started making a profit yet, have they?

When Lu Yanting rushed back to the company, his assistant, Xu, who was working in his place, deleted the chat history on his phone with a smile on his face.

Another piece of evidence has surfaced regarding his blissful vacation! He's here!

Finally, I don't have to take care of this lunatic anymore!

He walks on the edge of the law every day, and he's always on edge when he goes to work. He's genuinely afraid that one day he'll have to leave the government job.

This led him to become thoroughly familiar with all the laws and regulations, and the evidence he collected was extremely formal and legal.

He returned to his workstation feeling quite pleased with himself. Assistant Xu then began another round of slacking off.

Shi Xing and Lu Yihuan, who was on vacation abroad, were having a video call.

"Your family should have received the court summons today."

"It's a pity, my company is quite law-abiding and has not evaded taxes in the past two years."

Ren Anran was stunned: "No, judging from your tone, you seem quite expectant?"

“Of course, isn’t that more convenient?” Lu Yihuan replied matter-of-factly.

Ren Anran's lips twitched: "That's true, but wouldn't that mean you'd inherit a company that's drowning in debt?"

"Ah, yes."

Ren Anran: ...

Shi Xing smiled and said, "Just wait and see. It won't be long before the head of the Lu family changes, Mr. Lu."

Ren Anran also joked with a smile, "Yes, President Lu, I'll be relying on you and Xingxing to protect me from now on."

“Absolutely! Your two sisters are great women who own business empires.” Lu Yihuan put her arm around her shoulder, seemingly joking.

However, Tokiyuki smiled confidently, his eyes revealing undisguised ambition: "Of course, the whole world will have a place that Tokiyuki cannot ignore."

She encouraged Lu Yihuan: "You are the same; future celebrities will all have a place among us."

The two were stunned for a moment by her confident and composed statement.

Inspired by her spirited demeanor, they smiled confidently and replied, "Yes."
