You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

"Yes, I got them all."

"Zhenyuan Group has had all sorts of shady dealings over the past decade, including money laundering and falsifying accounts."

Lu Zi'ang let out a small "Wow!" and said, "Wow, Lao Jiang, you're awesome! Do you even know what all this means?"

"What?"

"Old Master Liu spent several years collecting evidence to finally obtain a small portion of the evidence that Liu Wei was laundering money in Hong Kong. And you, with just a few words, have dug up all of his past."

"Well, it's alright, it was probably mostly luck." Jiang Che humbly touched his nose.

What he said wasn't wrong. The fact that they were able to obtain evidence of Liu Wei's illegal and criminal activities so easily was indeed inseparable from luck.

Otherwise, given Liu Wei's cautious nature in remaining unscathed for so many years, it would have been impossible for him to bring Liu Wei down in just two months.

"Let's not talk about those things anymore, Lao Lu, you need to go back to Grandpa Liu's place right now."

Jiang Che instructed very quickly, "Cross-compare my materials with the evidence in Old Master Liu's hands to complete the chain of evidence."

"I will also have Jiang Sheng's legal team prepare a complete evidence analysis report. Once all the materials are complete, it will be time to close the net."

"Okay, I'll head over now. It should take about two hours."

"Be careful on the road, and don't let Liu Wei and Gu Yanzhou find out what you're up to."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Che put his phone on the table and leaned back in his chair.

Seeing how tired Jiang Che was, Su Qinghe thoughtfully raised her hand and pressed it on his temples, gently massaging them to help him relax.

"Are you tired?"

"I'm not tired." Jiang Che closed his eyes, feeling the warmth of her fingertips, and sighed softly. "I'm just a little emotional. She's not even twenty years old yet, and she's already involved in all this backstabbing and scheming."

"But if we look at it from another angle, once we've taken care of all the enemies one by one, there will be much less backstabbing and intrigue in the future."

Su Qinghe's tone carried a faint smile, "Besides, you're not fighting alone."

"No matter what, I will always stand by your side and stay with you."

……

Two days later.

A rumor suddenly began circulating on the Kyoto University campus.

The source of the news is unknown, but the content is presented in a very detailed and convincing manner.

It is said that Jiang Che, the heir of Jiang Sheng Group, was completely kicked out of the family's decision-making level because he had a falling out with his biological father, Jiang Dahai.

His arrogant act of slapping his uncle at the Jiang Sheng Group board meeting had also angered Jiang Zhenshan, the patriarch of the Jiang family.

Jiang Zhenshan declared that Jiang Che would never be able to touch a single penny of Jiang Sheng Group again in his lifetime.

On the afternoon the news broke, Xu Wenbin and Song Mingxuan were eating in the cafeteria when they heard many people around them discussing the matter.

"Have you heard? Jiang Che has really been kicked out of the Jiang family."

"I heard about it, I heard about it. I also heard that the villa he's currently living in has been taken back."

"Really? Where does he live now?"

"Who knows? I guess he'll slink back to his dorm and stay there for a few days before, right?"

"..."

The chatter in the cafeteria buzzed incessantly like flies.

After everyone finished discussing Jiang Che, they started discussing the people around him as well.

Xu Wenbin's expression grew increasingly grim. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he slammed his chopsticks on the table and stood up abruptly. "Are you guys ever going to stop?!"

The surroundings fell silent instantly.

The boys who had been whispering to each other shrank back and moved several seats to the side with their trays.

Xu Wenbin's chest heaved violently. Seeing this, Song Mingxuan quickly tugged at his sleeve: "Old Xu, forget it, don't bother with them."

"What's there to judge? That bastard Jiang Che brought this on himself, why should we be dragged down and criticized too?"

Xu Wenbin's voice was so loud that the entire cafeteria could hear him, "We used to be brothers, but I was blind! Now that he's been kicked out of the Jiang family, what does that have to do with us?"

After saying that, he kicked over the empty chair next to him and stormed out.

Song Mingxuan was stunned for two seconds, then quickly chased after him.

In a corner of the cafeteria, Gu Yanzhou slowly picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, his chewing motion filled with indescribable pleasure.

The boy wearing glasses sitting next to him was one of his underlings.

"Brother Gu, it seems Xu Wenbin and Jiang Che have really fallen out?"

Gu Yanzhou wiped his mouth and smiled sarcastically: "What do you think? Jiang Che is a stray dog ​​now. The old master of the Jiang family said it himself, he can forget about ever touching a penny of Jiang Sheng Group in his lifetime."

"Those people who used to hang out with him are now running away like the plague, who would want to associate with him?"

The bespectacled man clicked his tongue: "That's a bit too pitiful for him."

"miserable?"

Gu Yanzhou crumpled the tissue into a ball and threw it on the table, a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes. "This is nothing, the worst is yet to come."

As he said this, he was already picturing himself rising to prominence after Liu Wei took over Jiang Sheng Group.

Luxury cars, villas, beautiful assistants—things I never dared to dream of before now seem to be within my reach.

Gu Yanzhou took out his phone and sent a message to Liu Wei: "President Liu, the public opinion on campus has been laid out. Jiang Che is now universally condemned and can't cause any trouble."

After sending the message, he put his phone back in his pocket and got up to walk out of the cafeteria.

After walking a few steps, they bumped into two people.

Jiang Che was holding Su Qinghe's hand as they passed by the cafeteria entrance.

The moment their eyes met, a surge of smugness welled up inside Gu Yanzhou.

Since it was already a foregone conclusion that Jiang Sheng would be swallowed up by Zhenyuan, Gu Yanzhou was too lazy to put on that hypocritical act in front of Jiang Che anymore.

He deliberately slowed his pace and said in a voice just loud enough for those around him to hear, "Oh, isn't this Young Master Jiang? What brings you to stroll around the school?"

"I heard your old man really said you can forget about ever touching Jiang Sheng's money again. Is that true?"

The surrounding students all turned to look.

Jiang Che stopped and turned to look at Gu Yanzhou.

His face was expressionless, showing neither anger at being touched on a sore spot nor a forced attempt to remain calm.

Those eyes were as calm as a stagnant pool; Gu Yanzhou's sarcasm was like a pebble thrown in, not even causing a ripple.

"Are you done talking?" Jiang Che asked calmly.

Gu Yanzhou was taken aback by this reaction.

He imagined Jiang Che would fly into a rage, argue back with a red face, and kick chairs and smash bowls like Xu Wenbin.

But he just kept this indifferent attitude, as if what I had just said was a compliment to him.

While Gu Yanzhou was in a daze, Su Qinghe slowly turned her head and looked at him.

What a look that was.

Cold, indifferent, devoid of warmth.

It was as if they weren't looking at a living person, but rather examining a corpse about to be placed in a coffin.
