The shimmering Bullet Screen above Wei Zheng's head felt like sharp knives, piercing my heart with every flicker.
This guy was tougher to deal with than I had imagined; it seemed I needed to pick up the pace.
The date of the shareholders' meeting was drawing closer by the day, and I had to act quickly—I couldn't afford any delays.
A week later, I sat in my father Ding Shihao's office, the air thick with tension, as if it could ignite at any moment.
"Xue'er, haven't your recent actions been a bit too bold?" Ding Shihao's voice was low and thunderous, each word laced with a warning.
I instinctively touched my earrings, a nervous habit known only to myself.
Shen Yali was also present, wearing that nauseatingly hypocritical smile, but the Bullet Screen above her head slithered like a venomous snake, flicking its tongue. "Ding Xue'er, I wonder how long you can keep this up. This family will eventually be mine."
"Dad, I'm just protecting the company's interests," I replied, striving to keep my tone calm as if everything were under control.
Ding Shihao's gaze was sharp as an eagle's. "Are you really doing this for the company?"
I met his eyes without flinching. "Of course."
My father's illegitimate daughter Shen Yali jumped in eagerly to fan the flames. "Dad, Xue'er has been making quite a scene with her competition against Zhang Jin; she's embarrassed the company."
I looked at Shen Yali, a cold smile creeping onto my face. This woman was eager to see me trampled into the mud.
The Bullet Screen above her head mirrored her inner monologue, exposing her ambition: "As long as Xue'er falls from grace, I can take her place and become the heir of this family."
"Shen Yali, you seem very concerned about my affairs," I said coldly, my words like a knife aimed straight at her heart.
Her expression changed instantly, panic flashing in her eyes. "I... I'm just worried about the company."
"Oh? Is that so?" A smirk curled at my lips. "Then why don't you explain your dealings with that 'Shadow Society'?"
Shen Yali's face went pale in an instant, the Bullet Screen above her wildly flickering. "H-How does she know? It can't be... impossible!"
Ding Shihao suddenly turned to Shen Yali, his voice sharp as he demanded, "Shadow Society? What dealings?"
I laid out the evidence I had meticulously prepared before Ding Shihao, each piece like a sharp knife, ruthlessly piercing through Shen Yali's facade.
The proof of Shen Yali's secret collusion with the Shadow Society, attempting to undermine the Ding Family's influence, was indisputable.
Ding Shihao's face turned ashen, veins bulging on his forehead. He stared at Shen Yali with a gaze filled with disappointment and fury, as if he were about to devour her alive in the next moment.
"Yali, I am so disappointed in you!"
Shen Yali slumped in her chair, like a puppet drained of its soul, trembling all over. She knew that this time, she was completely finished.
I looked at her without a shred of pity; what goes around comes around—this was all her doing.
During the family meeting, I publicly exposed Shen Yali's numerous misdeeds.
The family members erupted in an uproar, all pointing fingers at Shen Yali, their spittle nearly drowning her.
Shen Yali was expelled from the family, cast out into the streets. Everything she had painstakingly built crumbled in an instant.
After the family meeting concluded, my cousin Li Mingyue approached me.
"Sister Xue, are you okay?" she asked with concern, her voice tinged with a barely perceptible tremor.
I shook my head. "I'm fine."
Li Mingyue hesitated for a moment before finally speaking up. "Sister Xue, you need to be careful of Wei Zheng; he's... he's not someone to be taken lightly."
I looked at Li Mingyue, my heart stirring. Had she also sensed something off about Wei Zheng?
A bullet screen flashed above her head: "Wei Zheng, what exactly do you want? Why do I feel like you're more terrifying than the Shadow Society?"
It seemed that Li Mingyue harbored some apprehension toward Wei Zheng as well.
"Thank you, Mingyue," I said sincerely. Regardless of her motives, I appreciated the warning.
Li Mingyue smiled. "We're family; we should help each other."
Her words brought a flicker of warmth, as if there was still a trace of humanity in this cold family.
Yet at the same time, I felt a twinge of unease. Was Li Mingyue really as innocent as she appeared?
The Bullet Screen above her head flashed by in an instant, and I couldn't catch a glimpse of it.
My heart suddenly sank, as if it had plunged into an endless abyss.
Wei Zheng, Li Mingyue, and my father...
This family feud was far more complex and dangerous than I had imagined.
I felt like a butterfly trapped in a spider's web; the more I struggled, the tighter it became.
I glanced out the window; the night was deep and dark, like a giant beast ready to devour everything.
I gently touched my earrings, silently telling myself: Ding Xue'er, you must hold on, for yourself and to uncover the truth from that year.
At that moment, my phone vibrated, and a text message popped up on the screen.
It was from an unknown number: "Ding Xue'er, the game has only just begun..."
