In her father's company account, one million five hundred thousand had been transferred to the recipient, Li Mei'er.
She clenched the torn pieces of the check tightly, her knuckles turning white from the pressure.
The anger in her chest felt like it could ignite her completely.
Hypocrisy.
Greed.
Keeping a mistress.
These words stabbed into her mind like sharp knives.
She forced herself to calm down, taking a deep breath, then another.
Anger would not help; only a complete counterattack would set things right.
Carefully, she tucked the fragments of the check away.
With the data recovered from Liang Sihua's phone, she had amassed a significant amount of evidence against the mother and daughter for their embezzlement and scheming.
This evidence was enough to ruin their reputations completely.
Her next move had to be swift and precise.
She quickly calculated the best strategy in her mind.
Should she hand it directly to the police?
No, while that would certainly punish them, it wouldn't fully reveal their true colors or awaken my father.
I want them to tear off their disguises in front of everyone.
First, there’s the financial issue.
This is Liang Sihua's Achilles' heel, the place where she is most likely to slip up.
Liao Yuyan knows that Liang Sihua holds a nominal position at Liao Qitian's company, which allows her to manipulate the company’s accounts.
She gathered evidence of Liang Sihua's embezzlement—those suspicious transfer records and discrepancies in the statements—and compiled them into an anonymous tip.
She deliberately obscured some key sources of information, retaining only the core evidence that would raise suspicions.
This material was secretly delivered to the head of the Finance Department at Liao Qitian's company.
Liao Yuyan did not contact her father directly; she knew he had been deceived for too long and wouldn’t believe any accusations she made.
She needed to leverage external forces to drive action.
Upon receiving the anonymous tip, the Finance Department remained skeptical, but the amounts and evidence presented were too shocking for them to ignore.
A covert investigation into the company's internal finances quietly commenced.
Liang Sihua was completely unaware of this; she continued to play the role of a dutiful housekeeper within the Liao Family while secretly pursuing her schemes.
A week later, chaos erupted within Liao Corporation.
The investigation results from the Finance Department were shocking. Liang Sihua had misappropriated a substantial amount of company funds for a long time, far exceeding Liao Yuyan's estimates.
This was a serious crime that violated the law.
When the company owner, Liao Qitian, learned of this news, he was furious.
He could not believe that Liang Sihua, whom he had trusted, would do such a thing.
Although he had previously dismissed Liao Yuyan's words, the financial report of the company could not lie.
Liang Sihua was immediately dismissed from the company, and the legal department initiated proceedings against her.
Liang Sihua left the company in disgrace, facing imprisonment, and she was utterly panicked.
The news spread like wildfire and soon reached Li Mei'er.
Li Mei'er was attending a so-called charity gala outside, trying to network with influential people.
Upon hearing Liang Sihua's tearful account over the phone, her face turned pale instantly.
The plan had gone awry.
And it was a major blunder.
Liang Sihua's downfall meant that their financial support from the Liao Family had been cut off. More importantly, it would raise suspicions in Liao Qitian.
Li Mei'er felt an unprecedented sense of panic; she sensed that something uncontrollable was happening.
She forced herself to remain calm, offering a few words of comfort to Liang Sihua before hastily leaving the banquet.
Liao Yuyan did not let them off the hook.
The downfall of Liang Sihua was just the first step; she intended for this mother-daughter duo to plunge into the abyss together.
Her next target was Li Mei'er.
Li Mei'er took great pride in her glamorous "High Education" and "Elite" persona.
This image helped her infiltrate her father's social circle and made him trust her implicitly.
Liao Yuyan held direct evidence of Li Mei'er's forged academic credentials.
She chose a public occasion that was crucial for Li Mei'er to make her revelation.
It was a Business Cocktail Party that Liao Qitian would also attend, and Li Mei'er was one of the invited guests, confidently engaging in conversation with various dignitaries.
At the party, the music was melodious, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Li Mei'er wore an exquisite gown, her smile sweet and appropriate, as if she hailed from a prestigious family and had received the finest education.
Liao Yuyan, dressed in a dark professional suit, quietly stood in a corner with a cold glint in her eyes.
She waited for the right moment when Li Mei'er was boasting about her "prestigious school" experiences in front of a group of people.
With a document folder in hand, Liao Yuyan slowly walked over.
Her appearance caught the attention of some, after all, she was the daughter of Liao Qitian.
“Miss Li's eloquence is truly impressive; no wonder she graduated from a prestigious university,” Liao Yuyan remarked calmly from the edge of the crowd.
Li Mei'er noticed Liao Yuyan and a flicker of panic crossed her eyes, quickly masked by her usual sweet smile.
“Oh, Sister Yu Yan, you’re here too? Thank you for the compliment,” she replied with a smile that held a hint of feigned intimacy.
“However, I’m quite curious,” Liao Yuyan said with a playful smile, “When did X University offer the program you mentioned?”
Li Mei'er’s smile froze.
Liao Yuyan pulled out several documents from her folder.
“This is the official enrollment record and program list from X University,” she said softly, but many in attendance could hear her clearly.
“There is no information regarding Miss Li's enrollment, nor any mention of the program you spoke of.”
She produced another document.
“And this one is a copy of the degree verification that Miss Li submitted to several companies. Comparing it to X University’s template, the signs of forgery are quite evident.”
Liao Yuyan placed the documents on an empty table nearby for everyone to see.
The entire gathering fell silent in an instant, all eyes focused on Li Mei'er.
Her face turned as pale as paper, and her body trembled slightly.
She looked at Liao Yuyan in disbelief, her eyes filled with terror and resentment.
"What... what are you talking about?" She managed to squeeze out a sentence, her voice sharp with tension.
"Whether I'm speaking nonsense or not, everyone can see for themselves," Liao Yuyan replied calmly, as if stating a fact.
The onlookers murmured among themselves, their gazes shifting from doubt to scrutiny, then to disdain.
Li Mei'er’s carefully crafted perfect image crumbled completely in that moment.
She opened her mouth to argue but found herself unable to utter a single word, left speechless and defenseless.
Her pride and confidence turned to ashes as she lost all face.
The uproar and condemnation from the crowd surged toward her like a tidal wave, shattering her hypocritical facade.
With Liang Sihua caught embezzling funds and Li Mei'er exposed for falsifying her credentials, the mother and daughter had lost all avenues of retreat.
Watching Li Mei'er’s breakdown, Liao Yuyan smirked slightly; it was time to reveal her trump card.
She submitted all the evidence of Liang Sihua and Li Mei'er conspiring to frame Chu Xinyi, along with recordings of Liang Sihua's embezzlement and Li Mei'er's forgery, directly to the police.
The chain of evidence was complete and pointed clearly at them.
The police acted swiftly, summoning Liang Sihua and Li Mei'er for questioning.
Faced with irrefutable evidence and the clear recording of their malicious plans and sinister words, all their struggles appeared utterly futile.
They finally admitted their crimes.
Their confessions, along with the evidence previously gathered, were enough to send them to prison.
When this news reached Liao Qitian, he was at the company dealing with the mess left by Liang Sihua.
Upon hearing his assistant's report, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, frozen in place.
Embezzlement... forgery of credentials... conspiracy to frame...
He was unwilling to believe it, and afraid to accept it.
He personally went to the police station, listened to the recordings, and saw Liang Sihua and Li Mei'er bowing their heads in confession before the evidence.
The people he had once trusted so deeply, even favored, turned out to be so malicious.
Especially that recording, which contained their ruthless schemes against Chu Xinyi, sent chills down his spine.
He recalled Liao Yuyan's previous hysterical accusations and the despairing tears in her eyes.
It turned out that everything she said was true.
He had been deceived all along, played like a pawn in their game.
A tremendous sense of guilt and pain engulfed him like a tsunami.
He could not accept how foolish and blind he had been.
He stepped out of the police station, looking as if he had aged a decade, his expression haggard and worn.
His first instinct was to find Chu Xinyi and Liao Yuyan.
What once seemed like an unbreakable family had been shattered by his misjudgment and deception.
Standing before the mother and daughter, his lips trembled, but he didn’t know what to say.
In the end, he could only express his apology in the clumsiest way possible.
“I’m sorry… it was my fault…” he choked out, tears glistening in his eyes.
“I… I didn’t know it would turn out like this… I’m so sorry for both of you…”
His remorse was genuine; he had lost a part of his daughter’s trust and hurt his wife’s feelings.
He had completely severed all ties with Liang Sihua, including with Li Mei'er.
Liang Sihua’s husband, Wang Qiang, had also learned everything.
He was summoned by the police to assist in the investigation and heard firsthand about his wife’s crimes, witnessing the evidence of the embezzled funds with his own eyes.
He was incredulous, filled with rage beyond measure.
He never imagined that the person beside him could be such a greedy and sinister woman.
Upon returning home, Wang Qiang and Liang Sihua erupted into a fierce argument.
Anger, accusations, and cries filled their once-happy home.
In the end, Wang Qiang proposed a divorce.
He could no longer face this woman; her actions filled him with disgust and shame.
He stated that he would bear all subsequent legal responsibilities and financial losses alone.
He wanted to completely sever ties with Liang Sihua, even if it meant losing everything he had.
Upon hearing the word "divorce," Liang Sihua fell into utter despair.
She had lost everything.
Meanwhile, at the Liao Family Old Residence.
Liao Yuyan and Chu Xinyi held each other tightly in an embrace.
The mother and daughter of Liang Sihua were brought to justice, and their conspiracy had completely failed.
The relief of having survived this ordeal made them cling to each other as if they wanted to merge into one being.
“Mom, we did it,” Liao Yuyan's voice trembled slightly.
“Yes, Yu Yan, we did it,” Chu Xinyi said, patting her daughter's back, her eyes glistening with tears.
