The alarm clock rang in the early morning.

The person next to him sprang into action and rushed into the bathroom; the intense training life leaves no room for dwelling on the past.

This reassured Jiao Yuyin somewhat.

He turned off his computer and organized the documents he needed to take to the company at his desk.

When Lu Yu came out after washing up, Jiao Yuyin was still on the phone with Qin Meng.

"Boss, Jiao Yuchen didn't do this just to cyberbully Lu Yu. His real purpose is you." Qin Meng's voice was cautious on the phone.

"Hmm, do you have any evidence? Tell me."

"We've found evidence along the Daqu and Xiaoqu lines. That video blogger, Xiaobao, used to be Jiao Yushen's man, and the money he sent to Lu Yu's biological mother also came from Jiao Yushen. This part of the evidence is very clear. However, recently, the Meng family and the Liang family in Qinhuai City have been severely punished. Jiao Yuchen was involved in this. The two must have made a private deal, which is why Jiao Yushen took this risk." Qin Meng simply listed the evidence in her hand, "The several big deals that the Liang family ruined were all Jiao Yuchen's doing. The evidence is clear."

"And what is the purpose?" Jiao Yuyin asked.

Qin Meng analyzed, "Actually, it's all a prelude to the mining accident. Jiao Yuchen is probably planning to make a fuss about the previous Shifu mining accident. Recently, he's been paying particular attention to companies in the mining industry, and there's a lot of online discussion about the Xijiao mining accident and the Shifu mining accident. In fact, the Jiao family's businesses are all in Jiao Yuchen's hands now. It would be very easy for him to manipulate things and frame you. The reason he's going through all this trouble is probably to justify bringing up the Shifu mining accident again and make Chairman Jiao's side believe him."

"If he wants to use the Shifu mine disaster to bring me down—" Jiao Yuyin sneered, "breaking the deadlock is simple. Just produce conclusive evidence of the Shifu mine disaster, and any speculation will be meaningless. Originally, when things came to a head, it was all just suspicion. I didn't release the evidence of the Shifu mine disaster, so they really thought I didn't have it. Ha— Now they've dragged Lu Yu into this, trying to bite back. It seems that Jiao Yushen doesn't need to be kept alive any longer."

"So what do we do next?" Qin Meng asked.

“I’m not waiting this time, I’m giving them a push,” Jiao Yuyin said. “I’ll have Xiao Zhong pick me up today, see you at Tengyue Sports in an hour.”

After listening to Jiao Yuyin finish his phone call, Lu Yu roughly understood the gist of it.

Jiao Yuyin dialed another number and, while waiting for the other party to answer, casually tugged at Lu Yu's neatly tied bun.

"Brother Dong, send someone to Istanbul to check Xin Chao's residence again."

"During the last investigation, we discovered that the evidence in Xin Chao's possession had been destroyed. What should we investigate next?"

"Don't investigate anything, just go there, leave some loopholes, and if nothing unexpected happens, the old man will get the news soon. After that, all the people in Istanbul can be withdrawn."

"That's possible, but what's the point of all this trouble?" There was a pause on the other end of the phone. "Haven't you had enough of your old man's antics yet?"

Jiao Yuyin smiled and said, "I want to take this opportunity to set fire to the Jiao family."

...

Training base.

Zeng Ling stared at the training data from the morning and breathed a sigh of relief.

Firstly, Lu Yu's condition remains unchanged, seemingly unaffected by the online controversy.

Secondly, the other teammates did not deliberately comfort Lu Yu; they simply took the most positive attitude towards training.

The team's coordination and training are becoming increasingly mature.

Luo Yan and Ji Yun switch positions at any time, one driving to the basket while the other stays under the basket. Their coordination with Sun Meng is becoming increasingly seamless, ensuring both offense and rebounding.

The versatile attacking play between Lu Yu, Sun Meng, and Weng Pei gives the team a wide range of offensive options, making them difficult to counter.

Judging from their current level of competition, they already have the strength to compete with the United States in the Olympics. However, the strength of their reserve team needs to be improved as soon as possible to make them more competitive.

...

Two days later, Jiao Yuyin finally received a call from the Jiao family's old residence.

"We're going back to the old house for dinner tonight."

Jiao Cheng left behind only cold, impersonal orders.

...

Stepping back into the gates of the Jiao family's old residence, Jiao Yuyin was no longer moved at all.

When Jiao Yuyin arrived at the study on the second floor, Mi Yang, holding Jiao Yuwei's hand, stood at the top of the stairs. Mi Yang gave Jiao Yuwei a wink and mouthed, "Your expression is off, be careful."

Jiao Yuyin nodded, then pushed open the door and entered the study.

Sure enough, sitting at the desk were not only Jiao Cheng, but also Jiao Yushen and Jiao Yuchen.

"What is it?" Jiao Yuyin glanced at it.

There wasn't a single empty chair in front of the desk.

"Not even a greeting." Jiao Yushen scoffed.

Jiao Yuyin walked over to the sofa and plopped down before retorting indifferently, "What, do you want me to kowtow?"

"Stand up! Did I tell you to sit down?" Jiao Cheng ordered, then slammed the tablet onto the table with a "thud." "Explain!"

Jiao Yuyin lazily got up and picked up the tablet computer on the table.

The lengthy news headlines are very eye-catching.

-The Shifu mine disaster and the Xijiao mine disaster are strikingly similar. Is this a coincidence of fate or deliberate?-

Jiao Yuyin clicked on it, and his assertive analysis filled the screen.

Lu Yu's father also died in a mining accident. Could it be said that Jiao Yuyin was very adept at handling mining accidents?

The image below is from an incident that occurred recently at Qingbei Building. The image shows only a girl on a stretcher whose face has been blurred.

At the time, the news only reported that a girl had attempted suicide at the Qingbei Building, but was fortunately rescued by a kind person. But who was this kind person? Was it simply an act of kindness? The news was kept strictly confidential at the time.

But let's look at it from a different perspective.

The image below is a photo taken by a passerby at the time.

Even though the face in the photo is partially obscured by clothing, careful observation reveals that this "kind person" is indeed Lu Yu. The person who helped Lu Yu by draping her coat over herself to block others' view is clearly Jiao Yuyin. The injury marks on Lu Yu's leg during the women's basketball league match three days after the incident also corroborate this.

Why are people afraid to let others know when they do good deeds? Is there some unspeakable reason why the third young master of the Jiao family is keeping the news secret?

Upon further investigation, we discovered that the matter was indeed more complex than it appeared. It turns out that the little girl who jumped from the Qingbei Building was a relative of a victim of the Shifu mine disaster. The fact that the third son of the Jiao family and Lu Yu were so secretive suggests they had something to hide.

These are not just my wild guesses; another major discovery that deserves our vigilance is yet to come.

Tao Peng, the former legal representative of Shifu Mining who died in the mining accident, turned out to be the anonymous whistleblower who provided information about Wen's malicious manipulation of the stock market many years ago. It's chilling to think about.

Many people may be unfamiliar with the Wen Group, so let me give you a brief introduction. Jiao Yuyin's mother, Wen Tangli, was the only daughter of the Wen family. To put it simply, the Wen Group at that time was even more prestigious than Jiao's Yuhua Group is now.

So whether Tao Peng was targeted for revenge is for you to judge; it's a matter of opinion, and I've said all I have to say.

After reading the whole thing, the result was not much different from what he had expected. He just didn't expect that Lu Yu's act of saving people could be maliciously interpreted.

"Is saving people wrong?" Jiao Yuyin said coldly.

Before Jiao Cheng could speak, Jiao Yushen reprimanded him, "You still have a temper? When the Shifu mine disaster happened, you were able to come up with a solution so quickly. You must have been prepared in advance, not a plan, but a contingency plan."

Jiao Yuyin placed the tablet on the desk, turned to stare at Jiao Yushen's ferocious face, and said, "Who was behind the accident at Shifu Mining, brother? Do you need me to help you remember?"

Jiao Yushen was intimidated by his imposing manner and remained silent for a moment.

Jiao Yuchen immediately added fuel to the fire: "Back then, you advised me to take the blame for the Jiao family, probably for your own sake. Didn't you already find Tao Peng back then? Fortunately, I had a recording, and Dad listened to it, so you have no way to deny it. I just don't understand, more than 20 years have passed, why are you still throwing a tantrum here?"

Jiao Cheng slammed the teacup on the table with a loud "bang".

"You're still investigating Xin Chao. I gave you a chance last time. Is the Istanbul matter over yet? Is something that happened more than 20 years ago over yet? I'm asking you, you killed Tao Peng, didn't you? You framed Jiao Yushen and took revenge on the Jiao family, didn't you?"

Jiao Cheng's voice was clearly filled with anger.

Jiao Yuyin had no doubt that if he nodded at that moment, Jiao Cheng would immediately throw the teacup on the table at him.

This time, he finally seized the opportunity to fight back...
