However, unbeknownst to them, Gu Yanting's revenge plan was unfolding step by step. The initial signs of business suppression were already emerging; Ah Yu discovered that some of her collaborative projects were being inexplicably canceled, and she was experiencing cash flow difficulties. Meanwhile, the henchmen who had been tracking them, after redeploying, had quietly returned to follow them. A greater crisis was slowly approaching Ah Yu and Lin Wanqing; how would they cope with the ensuing predicaments…?

VI. The Undercurrents of Clash

After briefly losing track of them, Tiger readjusted his tracking strategy. He equipped his henchmen with more advanced tracking equipment, including miniature cameras and listening devices. This time, they were much more cautious and dared not let their guard down for a moment.

Despite the setbacks in his career, Ah Yu was not defeated. He began to travel around, seeking new cooperation opportunities in an attempt to save his company. In this process, he had to frequently go out to negotiate with potential partners. And every time he went out, several pairs of eyes were watching him closely.

Lin Wanqing wasn't idle either. She used her connections to try and find a solution to Ah Yu's funding problem. One day, Lin Wanqing arranged to meet a friend who was quite influential in the financial world at a coffee shop. Her underlings, who had been following her, quietly sat at a nearby table, pretending to leisurely drink their coffee, but their ears were perked up, listening to Lin Wanqing and her friend's conversation.

“Brother Zhang, Ah Yu’s company is really in big trouble this time. Do you think you can help him out?” Lin Wanqing said anxiously. Brother Zhang frowned and said, “Wanqing, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but everyone knows the current situation of Ah Yu’s company. The risks are too great. I also have to be responsible for my own investment.”

The underlings overheard the entire conversation and immediately reported it to Tiger. Tiger then quickly relayed it to Gu Yanting. Upon hearing this, Gu Yanting revealed a smug smile: "Hmph, let's see how you, Ah Yu, can turn things around this time. Keep an eye on things, and report any new developments immediately."

VII. Crisis Hidden in the Subtle Clues

As their surveillance deepened, the underlings discovered that Ah Yu and Lin Wanqing seemed to be in contact with a mysterious person. This mysterious person always wore a hat and mask, obscuring their face. They met in secluded places, and their conversations were very cautious.

"Brother Tiger, these past few days Ah Yu and Lin Wanqing have been meeting with a mysterious person frequently, and we can't hear what they're saying at all," the henchman who was following them reported to Tiger. Tiger felt that something was amiss and quickly told Gu Yanting.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanting became suspicious: "A mysterious person? What are they up to? We need to find out the identity of this mysterious person and what they are planning. This might be the key to getting leverage over them."

So, Tiger ordered his men to intensify their investigation into the mysterious man. Through various means, they obtained information about the vehicles the mysterious man frequented, and following the trail, they finally learned that the mysterious man was a seasoned lawyer. Upon hearing this news, Gu Yanting's heart tightened: "A lawyer? Are they plotting against me? No, I can't let them succeed."

Gu Yanting decided to accelerate his revenge plan, intending to strike first and catch Ah Yu and Lin Wanqing off guard.

8. The tense atmosphere before the crisis

Ah Yu and Lin Wanqing are in increasingly frequent contact with lawyers, preparing for potential legal disputes. Ah Yu knows that Gu Yanting won't let them off easily, so she must prepare countermeasures in advance.

"Attorney Li, is our current evidence sufficient to deal with any possible attacks from Gu Yanting?" Ah Yu asked anxiously. Attorney Li adjusted his glasses and said, "The evidence is not yet sufficient; we need to collect more. But don't worry, I will do my best to help you."

Lin Wanqing said worriedly from the side, "But Gu Yanting has already started to take action, and we don't have much time left."

Meanwhile, Gu Yanting was also meticulously plotting his scheme. He planned to use his connections in the media to first create some negative news about Ayu and Lin Wanqing, tarnishing their image, and then strike them both legally and financially.

The atmosphere in the entire city became unusually tense, like the calm before a storm. Ah Yu, Lin Wanqing, and Gu Yanting were all secretly vying for power, and a fierce confrontation was about to erupt. Who would emerge victorious in this game, and who would be plunged into utter ruin? Everything remained to be seen…

IX. On the Eve of the Crisis

As preparations progressed, the situation grew increasingly tense. Ah Yu and Lin Wanqing, while diligently gathering evidence, also had to remain constantly on guard against a sudden attack from Gu Yanting. They felt as if they were trapped in an invisible cage, the pressure from all sides mounting.

On Gu Yanting's side, he had already finalized cooperation agreements with several media executives. With a single order, news smearing Ah Yu and Lin Wanqing would flood various media platforms. Simultaneously, he had arranged for a legal team to file a lawsuit against Ah Yu at the appropriate time, ensuring he couldn't escape the legal vortex.

Ah Yu and Lin Wanqing became even more cautious in their meetings with the lawyer. They chose more secluded locations, carefully observing their surroundings each time they met. Lawyer Li told them that they had found some key witnesses, but it would take more time to complete the chain of evidence.

“Give me another week, and I’m sure I can prepare all the evidence,” Attorney Li said firmly. Ah Yu and Lin Wanqing exchanged a glance and nodded. However, what they didn’t know was that Gu Yanting couldn’t wait any longer.
