"It's nothing."

Bai Yishu continued eating with her head down, and after a moment explained, "I was just asking casually. After all, I've started to get involved in company affairs, so I should learn some things."

Looking at her lowered eyes, He Yun Shen's doubts deepened, but he didn't expose her and continued to follow her words.

"Yes, it's always good to know more."

He put down his water glass and said tentatively, "If you encounter anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

Bai Yishu picked up a dish and put it on his plate.

"This is delicious too."

He Yun Shen looked at the dishes on the plate, his expression shifting slightly, a warm feeling washing over him.

He picked up a piece of food, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully.

"Yes, it tastes really good."

He looked up at Bai Yishu, his gaze softening. The unease in his heart was suppressed in that instant, yet he vaguely felt that her question just now was not a casual remark.

"Yi Shu..."

He looked at her, seemingly wanting to say something but ultimately only said thank you.

After dinner, Bai Yishu returned home, but couldn't fall asleep no matter how much she tossed and turned.

She knew that once she had an idea about something, she had to find out the truth about it, otherwise she would really suffer from insomnia for days and nights.

He Yunshen is not in the office every Friday morning; he doesn't come over until almost noon.

They appear at random times on weekends, and the exact time is hard to predict.

This is something Bai Yishu figured out during her internship at He's.

Although she didn't believe Fu Xiu's words at all, the matter still brushed against her heart like a feather, making her feel itchy.

If she were to ask He Yun Shen directly, he might not tell her the truth, and it would make her seem like she was always suspicious.

So Bai Yishu decided to find the answer herself.

She deliberately chose to sneak into He Yunshen's office on Friday morning. Using the password she had obtained from her previous internship there, she easily gained entry.

She walked to the desk, carefully opened the files to examine them, and then put them back in order.

After searching for a long time, I couldn't find any useful clues.

Bai Yishu squatted down and opened the bottom drawer to start rummaging through it, her eyes landing on a transaction document.

"This is……"

Bai Yishu's intuition told her that this document was anything but simple, and her unease grew stronger as she looked at it.

The document was tucked at the very bottom. Just as Bai Yishu was about to pull it out for a closer look, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Then came the sound of the door opening.

Bai Yishu had a bad feeling and hurriedly hid under the desk.

A moment later, a pair of long legs appeared in front of the desk.

Bai Yishu held her breath, watching the person in front of her sitting in the chair with their legs crossed and stretched out a little under the desk.

Bai Yishu curled up tightly under the desk, afraid that her legs might bump into her, which would make it difficult for her to explain.

A moment later, a male voice came from inside the office, seemingly the secretary reporting on her work.

He Yun Shen's voice came from above.

"Just put it there."

He Yun Shen was signing documents with his head down, giving instructions to his secretary without looking up, and then casually asked, "Is there anything else?"

The secretary stood in front of the desk, hesitant to speak: "Regarding the Bai family's investment..."

When Bai Yishu heard the secretary mention the Bai family, he immediately perked up his ears, afraid of missing any crucial information.

He Yun Shen paused in his actions and looked at his assistant.

"What happened to Bai? Tell me slowly."

He leaned back slightly in his chair, his tone seemingly calm but revealing a hint of alertness, his fingers tapping idly on the armrest.

"They seem to have noticed something over there?"

He Yun Shen abruptly stopped tapping on the armrest.

"What did you notice? Be specific."

The secretary continued, "Miss Bai asked some questions about the funds that day."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yishu quickly realized that she had indeed called to inquire about this matter the day before yesterday.

She had only asked casually about accounting matters, and she never expected him to bring it up.

He Yun Shen's face instantly darkened. He remained silent for a moment, his voice chillingly cold.

"What else did she ask?"

Bai Yishu noticed his clenched fist under the table, and her suspicions grew stronger.

That's all.

"Keep a close eye on the Bai family's movements, especially hers."

He Yun Shen got up and walked to the table, his leather shoes making a heavy thud on the floor.

"Report any further disturbances to me immediately, understand?"

The secretary nodded in agreement, but couldn't help saying another word.

"What if Miss Bai finds out..."

He Yun Shen's eyes turned sinister, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Then let's see if she can find the evidence."

He walked slowly to the window, his back to his secretary, his voice laced with ruthlessness.

"However... if it really comes to that, I won't just sit and wait to die."

Bai Yishu squatted under the table until her legs went numb, and her hands went numb as well.

She felt short of breath, her vision went black, and her legs could no longer support her weight, causing her to fall to the ground.

"Who?!"

Upon hearing the sound coming from under the desk, He Yun Shen tensed up instantly, like a wary cheetah, and abruptly turned to look at the desk.

He strode to the table, looked down to look, and when he saw it was Bai Yishu, his shock was palpable.

"Bai Yishu?! You actually..."

Bai Yishu crawled out from under the desk and steadied herself by holding onto the edge of the desk.

He Yun Shen's face was ashen, one hand gripping the edge of the table tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

"How long have you been hiding in my office? How much have you overheard?"

Bai Yishu looked at him with a pale face, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

"I heard everything."

"Oh."

He Yun Shen sneered, his eyes devoid of any emotion, and approached her step by step.

"So when you asked me about related-party transactions, it meant you already suspected me?"

Bai Yishu couldn't believe she was saying those words, but she still had to ask.

"So you're really using the White House to launder money?"

He Yun Shen stopped, standing just a step away from her.

"So what if it is?"

His tone was eerily calm, as if he were talking about something trivial.

Despite knowing the extent of the impact this matter would have on the Bai family, they seemed completely unconcerned.

Bai Yishu was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a moment.

She couldn't believe that the man who had just made a promise to her to be honest with her, the man who had put the ring back on her finger under the moonlight, would stab her in the back.

"Surprised?"

He Yun Shen's expression was inscrutable, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

"Bai Yishu, do you think the saying 'the business world is like a battlefield' is just a joke?"

He took another step closer, his tall figure completely enveloping her.

"Everything I've done is solely for maximizing profits."
