The lawyer bit his lower lip and said weakly, "Mrs. Zhong, my father is not comfortable letting anyone else take care of you. Please don't be angry."
Zhong Ruyi glared at the lawyer, "You brat, you kept this from me until now!"
The lawyer lowered his head in shame, barely daring to breathe.
Hu Haichuan clenched his fist and kept apologizing to Zhong Ruyi.
"I was worried that helping you directly would put a psychological burden on you, so I did it secretly..."
Zhong Ruyi rubbed her temples, looking quite troubled, and said, "So, helping Luo Cuilan invest in high-tech companies is also part of your plan?"
Hu Haichuan nodded and told Zhong Ruyi his plan in detail.
After losing contact with Zhong Ruyi, he immediately dropped his work abroad and rushed back to China.
On the plane back, Hu Haichuan received another message from his adopted daughter that he was safe and sound.
Hu Haichuan sent his friends in China to investigate, and they learned that the mastermind behind everything was Luo Cuilan.
So he came up with this plan to get revenge for Zhong Ruyi.
Zhong Ruyi looked at Hu Haichuan with a mixture of anger and helplessness, "You give me such a big surprise as soon as you return to the country, you rascal."
She sighed and rubbed her temples. "Let's discuss our next steps together."
Zhong Ruyi's sudden softening of attitude left Hu Haichuan somewhat bewildered.
He stared at Zhong Ruyi for a long time, a smile appearing on his face.
Hu Haichuan, in the open, used the "death" of Zhong Ruyi to invest in a high-tech company as bait to lure Luo Cuilan.
Secondly, they released a mix of true and false misinformation to confuse Luo Cuilan online.
The identity of the body has not yet been released, and Pei Siyu has sent people to spread false information online using the voices of Xia Kexing and Guo Xiaorong.
Luo Cuilan was like a mouse, completely manipulated by several people.
"Useless! All of you are useless!"
Luo Cuilan flew into a rage and smashed everything in sight on her desk to the ground.
The crackling sound turned the secretary's face pale.
Luo Cuilan glared at her secretary with bloodshot eyes, and demanded in a hoarse voice, "Guo Xiaorong and Xia Kexing threaten me online every day, and you bunch of useless people still haven't found them!"
The secretary, her face stiff and trembling, said, "The people I contacted couldn't locate Guo Xiaorong and Xia Kexing."
"I will do it as soon as possible."
Luo Cuilan clenched her fists and glared at her secretary.
"As soon as possible? It's been so long, and there's still no clue!"
She raised her hand and slapped the secretary hard across the face.
"I'm giving you one more day. If you haven't found Guo Xiaorong and Xia Kexing by then, you're fired!"
The secretary covered her face and left the office. Luo Cuilan picked up an accessory from the table and smashed it against the closed door.
Time is of the essence; she must take control of the company before the police release their investigation results!
Luo Cuilan closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and the gloom on her face eased a little.
Hu Haichuan's investment was to be used for Zhong Ruyi's funeral, so she contacted the media and began to publicize Zhong Ruyi's funeral extensively online.
Meanwhile, Luo Cuilan went to a temple and, in front of the media, pretended to pray for Zhong Ruyi.
The public buys into this, showering Luo Cuilan with praise online for how much she cares about her friends.
Time passed quietly. On the day of the funeral, Luo Cuilan, dressed in black, held Zhong Ruyi's photo with a pale face.
The funeral was packed with people, and flashes of light constantly streaked across Luo Cuilan's face.
"Ruyi, we've known each other for so many years."
Facing a group of reporters, Luo Cuilan burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably: "I thought we could fight together for a lifetime."
How could you leave first?
She cried louder and louder, and the huge mourning hall was filled with her mournful cries.
Those who came to mourn were moved to tears upon hearing the sound, and reporters began to press for details about Luo Cuilan and Zhong Ruyi's relationship.
Mingyao hid in the shadows, observing everything she discovered in the mourning hall.
This is hardly a memorial service for Zhong Ruyi; it's clearly Luo Cuilan's personal sympathy show.
She and Zhong Ruyi stood in the crowd, while the old woman silently watched Luo Cuilan perform, finding it all amusing.
After Luo Cuilan finished playing the victim to the reporters with tears streaming down her face, she swayed unsteadily, as if she was about to collapse to the ground at any moment.
"Are you alright?"
Hu Haichuan helped Luo Cuilan from behind.
Luo Cuilan looked at Hu Haichuan with red and swollen eyes, shaking her head with tears streaming down her face.
After Hu Haichuan helped her to a standing position, he stood beside Luo Cuilan.
The reporters in the audience erupted in an uproar.
"Isn't this the CEO of SK Corporation, a foreign company?"
SK is one of the top technology companies in the United States, at the forefront of cutting-edge chip development.
The murmurs of discussion from the audience reached Luo Cuilan's ears.
Luo Cuilan glanced at Hu Haichuan out of the corner of her eye.
Under the spotlight, Hu Haichuan's cold and stern face was bathed in light.
If we could get closer to Hu Haichuan, wouldn't the company be able to go international?
“Zhong Ruyi and I have been friends for many years, and I have watched her build the high-tech company step by step.”
"Now that she's gone, the company she founded cannot fail."
"Today, in front of all the media friends, I have decided to invest 100 million yuan in a high-tech company in my personal capacity, hoping that the company will develop better and better."
Upon hearing this, the reporters and onlookers present were stunned.
Just how rich is Hu Haichuan, who casually mentions 100 million?
Even Luo Cuilan couldn't help but widen her eyes.
She knew Hu Haichuan was rich, but she didn't expect him to be so rich and so willing to spend money on Zhong Ruyi.
It's strange, really.
With such a good man by her side, why would Zhong Ruyi still fall for Lin Bin?
Hu Haichuan took out the investment contract, signed his name in front of everyone, and stamped it with the company seal.
Luo Cuilan, with tears streaming down her face, accepted the contract and expressed her gratitude to Hu Haichuan.
"Don't worry, I will definitely lead the company well and make it even stronger. I will never let Ruyi down!"
Hu Haichuan glanced at Luo Cuilan, his gaze now carrying a deeper meaning: "I hope so."
Then the company's shareholders took turns to express their deep reluctance to part with Zhong Ruyi, and then praised Luo Cuilan in various ways.
Ultimately, the shareholders unanimously decided to make Luo Cuilan the newest director of the high-tech company.
Luo Cuilan sobbed as she looked at the shareholders and bowed ninety degrees: "Thank you all for your trust in me. I will not let you down and will strive to lead the high-tech company to go further."
Thunderous applause came from all directions. Luo Cuilan stood in the midst of it, like a deity being worshipped, her face radiating a divine glow.
Luo Cuilan became the most eye-catching figure at the funeral.
Just as she was feeling smug, a calm and collected female voice came from the crowd: "Cuilan, I'm not dead yet."
The noisy funeral hall immediately fell silent, and countless eyes turned to the woman wearing a baseball cap and a trench coat, her face obscured.
The familiar voice exploded in Luo Cuilan's ears, causing her pupils to dilate and her face to contort with panic.
She's actually still alive!
