I walked out of the conference room, the corridor empty. Outside the large floor-to-ceiling windows was a bustling city, filled with towering skyscrapers, but the sunlight couldn't penetrate my heart. Gu Shisheng quickly caught up with me and gently took my hand. I was momentarily stunned, and seeing the concern in his eyes reminded me of my earlier outburst. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my emotions.
"Are you okay?" Gu Shisheng asked softly, his brow furrowed and his eyes full of worry.
I shook my head and forced a smile. "I'm fine, let's go."
I turned to continue walking, but Gu Shisheng held onto my hand. With a gentle tug, he pulled me into his embrace. Leaning against his shoulder, I felt his warm body heat, and the suppressed emotions finally burst forth as tears streamed down my face.
"Go ahead and cry; it will be better once you let it out," Gu Shisheng said softly, patting my back with a gentle yet firm tone.
I cried in his arms for a long time until my sobs gradually subsided. I lifted my head and stepped back from him, using the back of my hand to wipe away my tears, feeling a bit embarrassed as I said, "Sorry for making you see this."
Gu Shisheng took out a tissue and gently wiped the tear stains from my face. "Silly, you don't have to pretend to be strong in front of me." He paused, looking into my eyes seriously. "Tell me what you want to do. I'll help you."
I took a deep breath, gazing out at the vibrant cityscape, my resolve strengthening. "I want to reclaim everything that belongs to me; I want to ruin Wei Chen!"
Gu Shisheng looked at me with admiration and support in his eyes. He smiled slightly and said firmly, "Alright, I'll help you."
We stood side by side in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the bustling city below, filled with hope and strength.
"I've gathered evidence over the years about Wei Chen transferring company assets, cooking the books, and tax evasion," I said as I took a USB drive from my bag and handed it to Gu Shisheng. "It also contains evidence of his affairs with other women."
Gu Shisheng took the USB drive with a smirk on his lips. "This evidence is enough to bring him down." He paused again, looking at me seriously. "Don't worry; I'll use my overseas connections to initiate a takeover of Wei Group. At the same time, I'll contact Wang Qian to lead a team of lawyers to gather evidence and sue Wei Chen for economic crimes."
I nodded and added, "I will leverage my technical advantages to infiltrate the Wei Group's internal network, gather more evidence, and secretly spread information to trigger fluctuations in Wei Group's stock."
Gu Shisheng looked at me, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. "Good, we will work together to completely bring down Wei Group!"
I gazed at him, my eyes resolute and determined. Wei Chen, just wait; I will make you pay for your actions! "Has Big Brother been informed about this?" I took a deep breath, trying to keep my voice calm.
Gu Shisheng turned around, looking at me with deep eyes, and nodded gently. "Don't worry, Big Brother will always be your support." He paused and reached out to tuck a strand of hair that had fallen on my forehead behind my ear. "You just need to follow your plan; leave the rest to us."
I nodded, feeling a bit of my anxiety ease. Over the years, Big Brother has always cherished me like a precious gem. If he knew how Wei Chen treated me, he would undoubtedly go to great lengths to help me seek justice.
A few days later, the Wei Group held a Shareholder meeting, and I attended as a representative of the shareholders. In the conference room, Wei Chen was impeccably dressed in a suit, confidently presenting a project report as if everything was under his control. I sat in the corner, watching his performance with cold eyes and sneering inwardly.
"Dear shareholders, I believe you have all seen that our Wei Group has steadily grown over the past year, achieving record profits..." Wei Chen's voice was confident and loud as he scanned the room with a smug smile on his face.
At that moment, the door to the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and a deep and authoritative voice rang out: "Is that so? Then how come I've heard that Wei Group's recent financial reports have serious issues and are suspected of falsifying accounts and tax evasion?"
Everyone turned in unison towards the door to see my Big Brother entering in a black suit with a stern expression. Behind him were Gu Shisheng and a group of well-dressed lawyers and accountants.
Wei Chen's face instantly turned pale; he opened his mouth to argue but couldn't say anything.
Big Brother walked up to the conference table and threw a document in front of Wei Chen. "Take a look for yourself!"
Wei Chen trembled as he picked up the document and began to flip through it. The more he read, the worse his expression became. This document contained evidence of his years of falsifying accounts and tax evasion, with every single transaction laid bare, leaving him no room for denial.
"You... you... how do you have these?" Wei Chen stammered, pointing at his older brother.
His brother let out a cold laugh, ignoring the question and instead turning to the Shareholders present. With an icy tone, he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Wei Chen, as the chairman of Wei Group, has not only embezzled company funds and maintained a mistress but has also fathered an illegitimate child. Now, he is falsifying accounts and evading taxes, appropriating company interests for himself. Such behavior is utterly outrageous!"
At this statement, the entire conference room erupted in an uproar. The Shareholders whispered among themselves, their gazes toward Wei Chen filled with anger and disdain.
"I didn't! You're slandering me!" Wei Chen suddenly stood up, pointing at his brother and shouting back. However, his voice lacked conviction; his eyes flickered as he dared not meet his brother's gaze.
"Whether you did or not, you know in your heart!" His brother looked at him coldly, his tone leaving no room for doubt. "I also have evidence of your dealings with other women and the DNA report of your illegitimate child. Would you like to see it?"
Wei Chen was instantly rendered speechless, collapsing into his chair like a deflated balloon.
I stood up and walked in front of Wei Chen, looking down at him with a cold and resolute gaze. "You think what you've done can truly go unnoticed?" I paused and took out a USB drive from my bag, placing it in front of him. "This contains backups of all your crimes. I've already sent them to major media outlets and regulatory agencies. Within an hour, the whole world will know your true colors!"
Looking at the USB drive before him, Wei Chen's face turned ashen; he knew it was over for him—completely over.
After the Shareholder meeting concluded, Wei Group's stock plummeted in response, plunging the company into chaos. Wei Chen was removed from his position as chairman by the board and handed over to judicial authorities for prosecution.
As for me, I finally escaped that unfortunate marriage and regained my freedom.
