Under Shen Qingchen's intensive investigation, Jiang Yao's conspiracy gradually became clear to everyone, like fog penetrated by sunlight.
Shen Qingchen began his investigation by secretly reviewing the company's recent business records. He discovered that key projects were constantly encountering inexplicable obstacles. These obstacles appeared to be normal market competition, but upon closer inspection, they revealed hidden traces of manipulation. For example, during a negotiation with a key client, the client suddenly reneged on the previously agreed terms, citing far-fetched reasons. Using his connections within the industry, Shen Qingchen quietly contacted the client. After some cunning questioning, he discovered that someone had been secretly feeding the client false negative information about the Shen Group, and that this source was inextricably linked to Jiang Yao.
Shen Qingchen didn't try to alert the enemy, knowing full well that to fully expose Jiang Yao's conspiracy, he needed more solid evidence. He began investigating the company's internal personnel, suspecting Jiang Yao had planted a spy. After a thorough investigation of the company's employees' recent movements, financial status, and social connections, he discovered unusual behavior among one employee in the marketing department. This employee, Lin Xiao, usually performed mediocrely at work, but had recently been interacting frequently with unfamiliar business people. His bank account also had several large, unidentified deposits. Shen Qingchen arranged for his men to secretly monitor Lin Xiao.
During surveillance, Shen Qingchen's men discovered a direct meeting between Lin Xiao and Jiang Yao. The meeting took place at a remote private club, where security was tight. However, Shen Qingchen's men, through clever tactics, managed to obtain partial information about the meeting. It turned out that Jiang Yao was using Lin Xiao to sow chaos within the company. Lin Xiao was responsible for leaking confidential information and tampering with important documents, thereby disrupting the company's normal operations. Furthermore, regarding external affairs, he followed Jiang Yao's instructions and spread information that was detrimental to the Shen Group.
Shen Qingchen also discovered that Jiang Yao wasn't just sabotaging the company's business; she was also attempting to disrupt their relationship by interfering with Jiang Zhi's personal life. Jiang Yao hired a private investigator to track Jiang Zhi's movements, hoping to find evidence to discredit her. She also deliberately created seemingly accidental awkward situations in Jiang Zhi's frequent locations, hoping to mislead Shen Qingchen about her.
Once, Jiang Zhi went to a charity event. After Jiang Yao learned the news in advance, she bribed the staff at the event and deliberately put Jiang Zhi in a situation where she was misunderstood by everyone. There was an important donation session at the event. Originally, Jiang Zhi was going to make a substantial donation on behalf of Shen Qingchen and herself, but Jiang Yao arranged for someone to switch the list of donated items, which caused confusion during the donation. The media and guests at the scene all cast doubtful and dissatisfied glances at Jiang Zhi. Jiang Zhi was very embarrassed at the time, but with her wisdom and adaptability, she quickly discovered the strangeness. She calmly reorganized the donation process and cleverly resolved the crisis, preventing the incident from causing too much negative impact on the Shen Group and herself.
Following this lead, Shen Qingchen discovered that Jiang Yao was still spreading rumors within Jiang Zhi's social circle. She fabricated false stories about Jiang Zhi's past, portraying her as a woman driven by money and even hinting at ulterior motives in approaching Shen Qingchen. These rumors spread among some of Jiang Zhi's friends and acquaintances. Although Jiang Zhi's true friends didn't believe them, they still caused her unnecessary trouble.
The deeper Shen Qingchen investigated, the more he felt Jiang Yao's methods were sinister and ruthless. He compiled all the evidence he had gathered into a detailed report. When he confronted Jiang Yao with the report, a flash of panic crossed her face, but she quickly regained composure.
"Qingchen, what do you mean? These are all unfounded accusations." Jiang Yao tried to argue.
Shen Qingchen looked at her coldly and said, "Jiang Yao, do you think that all these things you do are perfect? I have enough evidence to prove that you are causing trouble in my company and trying to destroy the relationship between me and Jiang Zhi. Why are you doing this?"
Seeing that the truth had been revealed, Jiang Yao's eyes flashed with resentment, and she said, "Chen Qingchen, why can't you see the good in me? I love you so much, but you are obsessed with that Jiang Zhi. What's so good about her? She is not worthy of you at all."
When Shen Qingchen heard Jiang Yao's words, he was filled with disappointment and anger. He said, "Jiang Yao, love is not something you can get by doing anything like this. Your actions have seriously hurt me and the people around me. I originally thought you were a kind person, but I didn't expect you to be so insidious."
Shen Qingchen decided to stay away from Jiang Yao, wanting to protect Jiang Zhi from her. He exposed Jiang Yao's actions to the public, revealing her true colors to the company's employees and partners. Jiang Yao's reputation in the industry plummeted, and she became a target of public criticism.
Throughout this process, Jiang Zhi remained calm and rational. She was not shaken by Jiang Yao's plot; on the contrary, she became even more determined to be with Shen Qingchen. She knew that their love would only become more indestructible after going through such a test.
