The flirtatious girl is done flirting; Mr. He is now obsessed with her.

Bai Yishu answered the phone impatiently, but didn't say anything, waiting for the other end to speak first.

"Yi Shu, it's been a long time."

Sure enough, Fu Xiu's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I heard you and He Yun Shen are getting involved again?"

Bai Yishu didn't answer his question, but coldly asked, "Is there something you need?"

"Of course I have something to do."

He deliberately dragged out his words, keeping everyone in suspense.

"You think He Yun Shen is really helping the Bai family for your sake? Don't be naive, he's just using you."

Fu Xiu chuckled lightly, his tone becoming increasingly disdainful.

"Do you know what he did behind the scenes?"

Bai Yishu knew in her heart that he was just calling to sow discord, but she didn't expose him, wanting to see what other tricks he could come up with next.

Fu Xiu's voice came slowly and deliberately from the other end of the phone.

"Money laundering, Yi Shu."

His tone was resolute, each word like a bombshell he had dropped.

"A large portion of the funds He Yun Shen injected into the Bai family were illicit. He did this to launder the dirty money."

He chuckled smugly on the phone.

"You think he really loves you? Don't be naive, you're just a pawn in his plan."

Bai Yishu thought to herself, "Of all the crimes, he just had to pin this one on me."

She frowned and retorted, "Money laundering?"

"That's right, it's money laundering. His shady dealings have been going on for a long time."

Fu Xiu's tone suddenly turned serious.

"Yi Shu, if you continue to get entangled with him, you'll only end up hurting yourself too."

He paused for a moment, softening his tone.

"Leave him, come to me, I can solve everything for you."

Bai Yishu sneered, mocking his clumsy methods.

To sow discord between her and He Yun Shen, they would come up with any absurd reason.

Why should I believe you?

Fu Xiu chuckled softly, his voice laced with coldness.

"Because I'm much cleaner than He Yun Shen, at least I would never use love as a pretext."

Bai Yishu rubbed her temples, already itching to hang up the phone.

"You're just trying to sow discord."

Fu Xiu was not angered by her words; instead, he let out a disdainful sneer.

"Sowing discord? You can investigate all you want. Once you've found out the truth, it'll be too late to regret your decision today."

His tone was confident, and he spoke with great seriousness.

"Yi Shu, think about the Bai family, think about your father. Are you really going to gamble everything on him?"

Bai Yishu tapped her fingertips lightly on the armrest of the chair, her mouth still uttering a sound.

"I won't doubt him based on just a few words from you. Give up on these pointless thoughts."

"Ha, they won't shed a tear until they see the coffin."

Fu Xiu's voice instantly turned icy cold, his anger seemingly about to overflow through the microphone.

"Since that's the case, just you wait. Don't come begging to me after He Yun Shen drags you into the abyss!"

Without waiting for Bai Yishu's reply, he slammed the phone down with a "click," leaving only the busy tone echoing in his ears.

Bai Yishu tossed her phone onto the table and stared into thought as she looked at the documents in front of her.

As evening approached, He Yun Shen appeared downstairs at the company on time.

Seeing Bai Yishu walk out of the company, he stepped forward, a hint of anticipation hidden in his eyes.

"get off work."

His gaze lingered on Bai Yishu's face for a moment, keenly noticing that something seemed off about her expression.

"What's wrong? You don't look well."

Bai Yishu shook her head and forced a smile.

"It's nothing, I just had a lot of work today."

He Yun Shen didn't quite believe her story, but he didn't press her for details.

After getting into the car, He Yunshen instructed the driver to go to a private restaurant.

The vehicle drove smoothly through the night, and the quiet atmosphere inside the carriage was somewhat subtle. He Yun Shen couldn't help but glance at Bai Yi Shu a few times before deciding to break the silence.

"Are you having any problems at work? Maybe I can help you."

Bai Yishu looked out the window and said casually, "You've already helped me a lot, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, He Yun Shen's eyes dimmed, and a bitter feeling welled up in his heart.

The vehicle slowly came to a stop, and the driver got out and opened the door.

"We've arrived, get off the bus."

He got out of the car first, stood beside it, and looked at her with a complicated expression, a feeling that was hard to describe spreading in his heart.

The two were led to a private room with excellent privacy. After Bai Yishu took her seat, He Yunshen sat down opposite her, and the waiters began to serve the dishes.

He Yun Shen observed her expression discreetly, then picked up a dish and placed it in her bowl.

"Try this, they make it really well."

Bai Yishu silently picked up her chopsticks and ate, never lifting her eyelids.

He Yun Shen also ate a few bites of food in silence, but finally couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and look directly into her eyes.

"Yi Shu, has... something happened?"

His fingers clenched slightly under the table, revealing his inner turmoil.

"You're not acting right today."

Bai Yishu paused in her eating, realizing that she might indeed be acting strangely tonight, and quickly adjusted herself.

"No, it's really nothing, don't worry about it."

She smiled, picked up her water glass, and took a sip, trying to dispel He Yun Shen's doubts.

He Yun Shen stared at her for a moment, finally suppressing his surging emotions, his voice low and restrained.

"Okay, I won't ask."

Though he said this, his unease gradually transformed into a strong intuition that Bai Yishu was hiding something, and that it was very likely related to him.

Seeing that he was no longer pressing the issue, Bai Yishu breathed a sigh of relief and began to change the subject.

How did you find out about this restaurant?

"I discovered it by chance."

He Yun Shen picked up a dish, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then slowly opened his mouth.

"The food here is good, and the environment is quiet."

Bai Yishu nodded and continued, "Who did you come here with before?"

He Yun Shen looked up to meet her gaze, chuckled softly, and said in a playful tone.

Are you jealous?

His eyes were fixed on Bai Yishu, trying to read something from her expression, before he sat up straight and his tone returned to normal.

"No, this is the first time I've brought someone here."

Bai Yishu ate a few more bites, then looked up again, remembering what Fu Xiu had said on the phone that morning.

"I saw on the news today that some companies use related-party transactions to transfer funds. It sounds complicated. Do you investors pay special attention to this?"

Of course.

When He Yun Shen heard her suddenly bring up this question, his eyes flickered slightly, but he remained calm and composed, his tone sounding professional and composed.

"Related-party transactions are a double-edged sword. Legitimate and compliant related-party transactions can reduce transaction costs, but if they are exploited by criminals, they can become a means of transferring funds and manipulating profits."

He put down his chopsticks, picked up his water glass, took a small sip, and asked casually, "Why are you suddenly interested in this?"
