That man was Li Qiang, Liu Lu's former business partner and now her mortal enemy.

Li Qiang's appearance intensified Liu Lu's ominous premonition.

“Li Qiang, you really are here.” Liu Lu said coldly, her tone full of hostility.

"Hehe, Mr. Liu, how have you been?" Li Qiang said with a forced smile, a sinister glint in his eyes.

"Stop talking nonsense! What exactly do you want?" Liu Lu asked sharply.

"What do I want to do? Of course, I'm here to send you on your final journey!" Li Qiang said viciously, his smile vanishing instantly, replaced by a ferocious expression.

At the same time, problems also arose within Liu Lu's group.

Some key employees began to behave abnormally, with a significant decline in work efficiency and even serious mistakes.

Liu Lu keenly sensed this and realized that there might be a traitor within the group.

After some investigation, Liu Lu discovered that these employees had indeed been bribed by Li Qiang.

They were not only secretly transferring confidential company information, but also spreading rumors among employees in an attempt to dismantle Liu Lu's group.

Liu Lu did not act rashly; she pretended to be unaware and secretly collected evidence.

She knew that only with solid evidence could she bring these traitors to justice.

One evening, Liu Lu deliberately arranged a meeting, gathering all the employees suspected of betrayal together.

During the meeting, Liu Lu observed everyone's expressions discreetly, trying to find clues.

Suddenly, Liu Lu's phone rang. It was an anonymous text message: "Want to know how many traitors are in your company? See you at the usual place at midnight tonight."

Liu Lu calmly deleted the text message, but her heart was in turmoil.

She realized that this was a trap, a trap set for her.

But she did not back down; she decided to play along and see who was behind it all.

At midnight, Liu Lu arrived alone at the "usual place" mentioned in the text message.

This is an abandoned factory, surrounded by desolation, eeriness, and terror.

As soon as Liu Lu stepped into the factory gate, she heard footsteps behind her.

"Ms. Liu, what are you doing here alone so late?" A familiar voice sounded behind Liu Lu.

Liu Lu turned around abruptly and saw Li Qiang standing behind her with a strange smile on his face.

"Li Qiang, you..." Liu Lu was about to speak when she found herself surrounded.

A group of men in black emerged from all directions and surrounded Liu Lu.

Li Qiang walked up to Liu Lu with a smug smile on his face: "Liu Lu, you lost." Liu Lu looked at Li Qiang coldly, her eyes flashing with an icy light.

"The game has only just begun."

Liu Lu took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

"Li Qiang, do you think you can defeat me like this? You're too naive!" A contemptuous smile curled at the corner of her lips, her eyes gleaming with confidence.

Li Qiang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Liu Lu to be so calm in such a desperate situation.

He originally thought Liu Lu would panic and beg desperately, but he was wrong. He underestimated Liu Lu's resilience and courage.

"Hmph, still being stubborn even when death is imminent!" Li Qiang was furious and waved his hand, signaling his men to take action.

The man in black slowly approached Liu Lu, and it looked like he was about to make a move.

Just at this critical moment, Liu Lu's phone rang again.

She glanced at the caller ID; it was her daughter, Liu Bei, calling.

Liu Lu hesitated for a moment, but still answered the phone.

"Mom, where are you? I miss you so much." Liu Bei's childish voice came through the phone, tinged with a sob.

"Baby, Mommy's fine. Mommy will be back to be with you soon," Liu Lu said gently, suppressing the sadness in her heart.

“Mom, I made you a lucky charm. You must carry it with you; it will bring you good luck,” Liu Bei said earnestly.

Liu Lu felt a warmth spread through her body.

She knew that her daughter was her pillar of support and the driving force that kept her going through the difficulties.

“Okay, Mom will definitely keep it with her.” Liu Lu hung up the phone and held the lucky charm her daughter had given her tightly in her hand.

A power flowed from the lucky charm into her body, filling her with strength.

Instead of dealing with the traitors directly, Liu Lu turned the tables on them.

She pretended to know nothing about their actions and even deliberately leaked some false information to these traitors to pass on to Li Qiang.

She wanted to lead Li Qiang step by step into the trap she had set.

After obtaining this "important intelligence," Li Qiang was overjoyed, believing that he had grasped all of Liu Lu's plans.

He couldn't wait to start planning the next move, unaware that he was already walking step by step into the abyss.

Looking at Li Qiang's smug expression, Liu Lu sneered.

This game has only just begun.

She gently stroked the lucky charm in her hand, her eyes filled with determination and confidence.

"Li Qiang, do you think you've won?" Liu Lu's voice echoed in the empty factory. "The show has only just begun!" She put the lucky charm around her neck, turned and left, leaving Li Qiang alone, bewildered in the wind.

After leaving the abandoned factory, Liu Lu did not go straight home, but went to the company instead.

She convened an emergency meeting overnight, bringing together all core employees.

The atmosphere in the conference room was heavy, and everyone sensed something unusual.

Liu Lu stood in front of the conference table, her gaze sweeping over everyone, her tone icy: "I know some of you have been bribed by Li Qiang. Now, I'm giving you a chance. Step forward and admit your mistakes, and I can let bygones be bygones."

The meeting room was silent; no one dared to utter a sound.

Liu Lu sneered and continued, "Since you're unwilling to admit it, don't blame me for being impolite." She produced the evidence she had prepared beforehand and exposed the crimes of those traitors one by one.

With the evidence irrefutable, the traitors were immediately speechless and their faces turned ashen.

Liu Lu immediately announced the expulsion of all traitors and called the police.

Meanwhile, Li Qiang was smugly waiting for Liu Lu to fall from grace.

Based on the "intelligence" provided by the traitor, he made a large investment, putting almost all of his funds into it.

He believed that as long as Liu Lu's group collapsed, he could dominate the market and become the biggest winner.

However, he never expected that the information he received was false, a smokescreen deliberately released by Liu Lu.

A few days later, the stock market situation changed dramatically, and all of Li Qiang's investments suffered losses, causing his cash flow to dry up instantly.

He then realized that he had fallen into Liu Lu's trap, and was filled with remorse, but it was too late.

Taking the opportunity, Liu Lu publicly exposed Li Qiang's conspiracy and traitorous behavior, and explained the truth of the matter to all employees.

The employees then realized what was going on and expressed their admiration and support for Liu Lu.

Liu Lu successfully stabilized the emotions of the internal staff and won the trust of more employees.

Li Qiang was desperate and tried to raise money everywhere, but no one was willing to help him.

His past glory is now just a distant memory.

He sat in his empty office, looking out at the bustling city, his eyes filled with despair.

Liu Lu, on the other hand, stood on the top floor of the group's building, overlooking the entire city.

A slight smile played on her lips, and her eyes sparkled with confidence.

“Li Qiang,” she said softly, “the game is only just beginning.” She picked up the phone and dialed a number. “Start the operation…”

Liu Lu acted swiftly and decisively.

As soon as news broke that Li Qiang's cash flow had dried up, she immediately launched an acquisition plan.

She swiftly acquired most of Li Qiang's businesses, including his most prized core technologies and market share.

She gave Li Qiang no chance to breathe, like a cheetah locking his throat, killing him instantly.

In just a few days, the once invincible business tycoon declared bankruptcy.

At the celebratory banquet following the completion of the acquisition, crystal chandeliers glittered, and champagne swayed in glasses.

Liu Lu, dressed in a black gown, looked elegant and noble as she stood in the center of the stage, receiving congratulations from the crowd.

Flashbulbs kept going off, capturing the glorious moments of this business queen.

Offstage, Liu Bei, dressed in a beautiful princess dress, waved a small flag and cheered for her mother.

Liu Lu's gaze fell on her daughter, her eyes softened instantly, and a warm smile appeared on her lips.

However, behind the joy of victory, Liu Lu remained clear-headed.

The business world is like a battlefield, ever-changing and always full of unknown challenges.

She knew that standing at the top meant greater responsibility and pressure, as well as greater risks.

She gently stroked the lucky charm her daughter had given her around her neck, silently reminding herself: always be vigilant and proceed with caution.

After the celebration banquet, Liu Lu took Liu Bei home.

In the stillness of the night, Liu Lu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the city's night view.

The myriad lights of homes, dazzling and magnificent, could not conceal the undercurrents surging beneath.

She sighed softly, a vague unease creeping into her heart, as if something was about to happen.

Suddenly, a series of urgent knocks broke the silence of the night.

Liu Lu's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition welled up in her heart.

She walked to the door and looked out through the peephole. She saw several strangers in suits standing outside with serious expressions.

“Mr. Liu, we are…” one of them began.

Liu Lu's heart sank, and her hand gripping the doorknob trembled slightly.
