The resentment flashed briefly in the green tea's eyes, and I sensed she wouldn't let this go easily. Sure enough, within a few days, Du Ming encountered trouble.
“Lingxi, the partner for the Galaxy Project suddenly backed out and even spread rumors that our funding chain has collapsed. Now many media outlets are following suit…” Du Ming's voice was exhausted, and I knew this blow was significant for him.
The Galaxy Project was the most important project for Du Ming this year, with substantial initial investments. Now that the partner had suddenly withdrawn their funding, it was undoubtedly a heavy blow for the Du family. I held Du Ming's hand and gave him a reassuring look, “Don't worry, let's find out what happened first.”
Things turned out to be more complicated than we imagined. The partner had heard some unfounded rumors about the Du family from somewhere, leading to a significant misunderstanding. No matter how much Du Ming tried to explain, it was futile. Worse still, when Mr. Du learned of this matter, he was furious and immediately summoned Du Ming back to the family home.
“Unfilial son! Is this what you call leading the Du family to a glorious future?” In his study, Mr. Du slammed documents in front of Du Ming. “Look at the mess you've created! Now the entire business world is laughing at us!”
Du Ming pressed his lips tightly together and remained silent. I knew he was hurting inside too, but he was even less willing to show weakness in front of his father.
“From today on, you will go home and reflect on this! I will personally handle the company's affairs!” Mr. Du declared angrily. I watched Du Ming's dejected figure and felt a pang of sympathy. I understood how much this setback meant to him, yet he bore all the pain alone. I silently vowed to help him through this crisis.
My intuition told me that this incident was closely related to the green tea. I began to investigate her background secretly, leaving no stone unturned. My efforts paid off when I unexpectedly discovered her deep connections with a mysterious organization. This organization operated covertly and wielded significant power, seemingly manipulating the economic lifeblood of the entire city from behind the scenes.
Could it be that the crisis facing the Du family was orchestrated by them? A chill ran down my spine at the thought. If that were true, then Du Ming's situation would be even more perilous.
I immediately shared this discovery with Du Ming. Upon hearing it, he furrowed his brows and pondered for a long time.
“Lingxi, thank you for telling me this,” Du Ming said as he held my hand with determination in his eyes. “I will get to the bottom of this and will not let them succeed.”
In his eyes, I saw a burning fighting spirit—pride and confidence that belonged to Du Ming. I knew that no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, he would not easily back down.
“I believe in you.” I tightened my grip on his hand and gave him an encouraging look. “No matter what happens, I will be by your side.”
Du Ming nodded slightly, warmth flashing in his eyes. He began to reassess his business strategies, looking for loopholes while strengthening control over the family business. He resembled a drawn sword, sharp and ready to cut through any obstacles in his way. As I flipped through the materials in my hands, I noted that they recorded the condition of a Chairman Wang who suffered from a rare illness that no renowned doctor could cure; thus he hesitated regarding cooperation with the Du family.
A thought struck me—this might be an opportunity. Based on the descriptions in the materials, I consulted ancient medical texts and finally found a treatment method.
I presented the treatment plan to Du Ming; surprise flickered in his eyes. “Are you confident?”
“Trust me.” I gave him a resolute look.
I personally visited Chairman Wang and used acupuncture combined with herbal medicine to miraculously alleviate his condition. Chairman Wang praised my medical skills profusely and immediately decided to continue cooperation with the Du family.
As news spread, the stock of the Du family rose sharply, and internal doubts within the company gradually subsided. I knew that Du Ming could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, just as things seemed to calm down, trouble arose again. The green tea turned her attention toward me now that Du Ming's crisis had been resolved.
“Mrs. Du is indeed skilled in medicine; it's a pity her methods are even more cunning! Who knows what tricks she used to mesmerize Master Du!”
“The wife of a wealthy family is truly remarkable; she can resort to any means for profit!”
Various scandalous rumors circulated wildly on social media; my photos were maliciously altered, and some even fabricated stories about my marriage to Du Ming, claiming it was solely for financial gain.
In an instant, I became the target of public outrage, thrust into the spotlight. Various insults, slanders, and mockery surged like a tidal wave, nearly drowning me.
Du Ming saw these messages and turned pale with anger, immediately wanting to take action. I stopped him, a glint of coldness flashing in my eyes: "Don't worry, I will make her pay for her actions!"
We consulted a lawyer, gathered evidence against the green tea girl for her slander, and filed a lawsuit against her. At the same time, we contacted the media, held a press conference to publicly clarify the truth, and revealed my medical credentials.
In the end, the green tea girl's scheme was exposed; she had no choice but to publicly apologize and bear the corresponding legal consequences.
However, this was not the end of it. A question lingered in my mind: why did the green tea girl target me? What was the mysterious organization behind her?
Just then, my phone suddenly rang.
"Miss Guo, we finally meet," a chilling voice came from the other end of the line, sending shivers down my spine. "You better be careful; the more you know about certain things, the faster you die..."
