Countless cameras were pointed at Zhong Ruyi, who was standing in the crowd.
She slowly took off her hat and looked at Luo Cuilan with a smile.
"You've taken care of my funeral in just a few days."
"I didn't expect you to care so much about whether I live or die."
The entire room fell silent, everyone staring at Zhong Ruyi with eyes as wide as walnuts.
A person who had been confirmed dead was standing here alive!
Luo Cuilan glared at Zhong Ruyi below the stage and screamed, "You are not the real Zhong Ruyi!"
Zhong Ruyi is dead!
"What are you really up to, daring to impersonate her!"
Luo Cuilan's voice trembled, like a wild beast, as if she wanted to tear Zhong Ruyi to pieces and devour her.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhong Ruyi walked towards Luo Cuilan, her faint smile driving Luo Cuilan almost mad.
The shareholders present looked at each other in disbelief, unable to believe that Zhong Ruyi was actually standing right in front of them.
Luo Cuilan's gaze suddenly fell on Zhong Ruyi's stomach.
A strange light shone in her eyes as she pointed at Zhong Ruyi's stomach and shouted, "I knew you were an imposter!"
"You still won't admit it!"
“Zhong Ruyi is pregnant, but your belly is flat!”
Zhong Ruyi looked at Luo Cuilan sadly, making a mocking tsk-tsk sound.
She took Luo Cuilan's hand, which was as cold as ice, and a smile curved her lips.
She placed Luo Cuilan's hand on her stomach, stared at Luo Cuilan with a sinister look, and whispered in her ear, in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Thanks to you, my bastard child with Lin Bin is gone."
Luo Cuilan quickly withdrew her hand, her ashen face filled with terror.
Zhong Ruyi held her hand tightly, smiling slightly as she faced the puzzled media and the general public below the stage.
"I'm sorry, I've been in the hospital for treatment of a miscarriage and haven't appeared in front of the media during this time, which has created the impression that I've died."
Her eyes curved into crescent moons as she gripped Luo Cuilan's hand tightly: "It's really strange. I was recuperating in the hospital, so how did the police find my body?"
Luo Cuilan forced a smile: "Maybe the police made a mistake."
"Is there really a mistake?"
Zhong Ruyi stared at Luo Cuilan meaningfully, "Let Mr. Hu show everyone something interesting."
Luo Cuilan stared wide-eyed at Hu Haichuan in disbelief.
Hu Haichuan pressed the remote control in his hand, and a curtain fell onto the blank wall.
Her face was quickly projected onto the screen.
In the video, Luo Cuilan takes a wad of cash out of her handbag and stuffs it into the hand of a forensic doctor in a white coat.
After accepting the money, the forensic doctor spoke clearly into the camera, saying, "Ms. Luo, rest assured, even if it were a pig that died, I would make it look like Mrs. Zhong's body."
After Luo Cuilan left, the forensic doctor removed the camera.
Luo Cuilan watched the video on the screen, her ears ringing.
It turns out she'd been tricked from beginning to end!
Realizing what had happened, Luo Cuilan became furious and glared at Zhong Ruyi with a dark expression.
You're kidding me!
Zhong Ruyi stared straight at Luo Cuilan, telling Hu Haichuan to continue playing the video.
Inside the office of the high-tech company, Luo Cuilan, Guo Xiaorong, and Xia Kexing were chatting.
In the video, Luo Cuilan promises Guo Xiaorong and Xia Kexing a large sum of money to kidnap Zhong Ruyi.
Xia Kexing gritted her teeth and said, "Add Mingyao too."
Luo Cuilan agreed and paid the two men a deposit in exchange for killing Lin Bin, Qiao Wenjuan, and Zhong Ruyi.
After the mission is successfully completed, she will pay Guo Xiaorong and Xia Kexing one million each, and also promise Guo Xiaorong the position of editor-in-chief.
The truth came out: the real person who planned the kidnapping was not Lin Bin, but Luo Cuilan, who had been hiding behind Lin Bin all along.
Reporters and the public engaged in a heated discussion, which included verbal insults directed at Luo Cuilan.
The words of the crowd were like poisonous vines, entangling Luo Cuilan's body and making it hard for her to breathe.
Zhong Ruyi approached Luo Cuilan and smiled sinisterly: "Luo Cuilan, you and Lin Bin have been plotting for so many years, you must have worked hard."
"Unfortunately, Lin Bin underestimated your ruthlessness. He probably never imagined that you would want to swallow up the entire Gaoxin Company."
Luo Cuilan took two steps back in fear, shaking her head repeatedly and muttering, "No, it's impossible!"
"My plan is flawless; there's absolutely no way I can lose!"
Zhong Ruyi's face darkened, and she slapped Luo Cuilan hard across the face.
She used almost all her strength, and Luo Cuilan couldn't stand up and fell directly to the ground.
She covered her face in a daze, her gaze blank.
Zhong Ruyi's eyes were red as she looked down at Luo Cuilan.
"Luo Cuilan, you've lost, you've lost completely to me!"
Zhong Ruyi's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Luo Cuilan's head.
She shivered, shaking her head repeatedly, unable to accept this fact.
She met Zhong Ruyi by chance when she graduated from university.
Unlike her small-town background, Zhong Ruyi is beautiful and a true second-generation rich kid.
These two people, so different from each other, unexpectedly became friends.
Zhong Ruyi has a straightforward personality and treats her as a true friend, even inviting her to work at her new company.
As the company was just starting out, both of them did their best to secure opportunities for the company's better future.
After several years of hard work, Luo Cuilan and Zhong Ruyi finally secured a place for themselves in Haidu.
However, everyone's praise was directed at Zhong Ruyi, and no one noticed the woman walking alongside her.
Luo Cuilan felt jealous and wanted to replace Zhong Ruyi as the center of attention.
She did try to surpass Zhong Ruyi.
She was absolutely dazzling.
As long as she's around, Luo Cuilan will always be just a supporting character.
The resentment and jealousy in her heart gradually twisted Luo Cuilan, and she wanted to destroy Zhong Ruyi and take everything from her!
By chance, she met Lin Bin, who was working in Haidu.
Lin Bin has a refined appearance, which is very deceptive, and he is very good at sweet-talking women.
A wicked idea began to brew in Luo Cuilan's mind.
She used money and status to seduce Lin Bin and created an accident so that Lin Bin would rescue Zhong Ruyi.
Meanwhile, Luo Cuilan hid in the shadows, keeping a close eye on Lin Bin and Zhong Ruyi at all times.
In order to make Zhong Ruyi fall completely in love with Lin Bin, Luo Cuilan used her understanding of Zhong Ruyi to mold Lin Bin into the image she longed for.
They got married successfully, but Luo Cuilan wasn't in a hurry. She secretly consolidated her power.
She not only wants to take everything away from Zhong Ruyi, but also wants to keep it a secret from everyone.
To kill Zhong Ruyi without the police's knowledge, a substitute was needed.
Lin Bin found Ni An as a replacement.
Ni An was obsessed with becoming Mrs. Lin and lacked common sense, especially since Lin Bin kept using psychotropic drugs on her.
Ni An gradually lost her mind, and when she went crazy, it was no different from a mental illness.
But at the crucial moment, Ni An made a mistake and was captured by Pei Siyu.
In desperation, Luo Cuilan contacted Xia Kexing and Guo Xiaorong, asking them to act as her executioners and help her eliminate Luo Cuilan.
