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

He Yun Shen grabbed Bai Yi Shu's wrist and walked towards the terrace without saying a word. The glass door closed behind them, shutting out the noise in the banquet hall.

He stared intently at Bai Yishu, his whole body radiating anger.

"You and Fu Xiu are always seen together, and you're even putting on an act for me. Are you trying to get revenge on me?"

Bai Yishu crossed her arms and spoke casually.

"Mr. He, you can't even handle this? When you were using the Bai family to launder money, didn't you ever think this day would come?"

He Yun Shen's eyes widened, and he instinctively wanted to retort, but then he shut his mouth. After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "So you chose Fu Xiu? To use him against me, is that it?"

"This isn't the only thing I'm going to do to you."

A sense of foreboding welled up in He Yunshen's heart, but he remained defiant.

"What else do you want to do?"

He unconsciously took a step forward, as if trying to find the answer in Bai Yishu's expression.

"Bai Yishu, don't go too far!"

Bai Yishu shrugged dismissively, as if talking about something trivial.

"I will make you pay for everything you've done."

He Yun Shen laughed in extreme anger, but his laughter was full of sorrow.

"The price? Fine, I'll be waiting."

He suddenly grabbed Bai Yishu's wrist and lowered his voice.

"But Bai Yishu, don't forget, we had some good times together. Can you really be so heartless as to go to such extremes?"

Bai Yishu felt a surge of irritation when he brought up the past, and abruptly shook off his hand.

"Don't bring up the past with me! It disgusts me."

The moment He Yun Shen's hand was flung away, his heart felt like it had plummeted to the bottom.

"Fine! Bai Yishu, since that's how it is, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The glass door to the terrace opened from the inside, and He Yun Shen looked up and saw Fu Xiu, the gloom in his eyes almost tangible.

"President Fu, you really are a persistent ghost."

He deliberately took a step forward to close the distance with Bai Yishu, his words laced with barbs.

"What? Are you afraid I'll eat Miss Bai up?"

"Mr. He, please watch your words and actions."

Fu Xiu quickly pulled Bai Yishu behind him to protect her. His sharp suit and imposing figure exuded a sense of pressure as he coldly stared at He Yun Shen.

"Yi Shu doesn't want to talk to you, so stop bothering her."

He looked down at Bai Yishu, his fingertips lightly touching the back of her hand, and whispered in a voice only she could hear.

"Are you alright?"

Bai Yishu glanced at He Yunshen, then shook her head, feigning grievance.

Fu Xiu's eyes instantly turned cold and sharp, and the pressure around him plummeted.

"It seems that President He has made Yi Shu quite uncomfortable."

He slowly turned to the side, lowered his head slightly, and softened his voice, completely different from before.

"Yi Shu, let's go. There's no need to waste time with this kind of person."

He extended his arm, gesturing for Bai Yishu to take it, his eyes constantly watching He Yunshen's every move.

Bai Yishu gave He Yunshen a soft snort, then took Fu Xiu's hand and left.

He Yun Shen watched her back as she linked arms with Fu Xiu, his hands clenched into fists, his nails almost digging into his palms.

"Bai Yishu, you'll regret this!"

The night wind carried away his voice, and He Yun Shen's figure appeared particularly resolute in the darkness, with intense resentment surging in his eyes.

"He didn't hurt you, did he?"

Fu Xiu led Bai Yishu into the car and drove away from the parking lot, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"That guy's expression is priceless."

Bai Yishu pondered for a moment and looked at him.

"Any leads regarding him?"

Fu Xiu put away his earlier playfulness and focused his gaze.

"Don't worry, there's been progress on the matter I had someone investigate."

The car came to a smooth stop at the red light. Fu Xiu turned to look at her, his gaze appearing even more profound in the night.

"I've obtained some of the evidence regarding He Yun Shen's money laundering. However, I have a better idea. Would you like to hear it?"

"What?"

"Giving the evidence directly to the police is too lenient on him."

A sly glint flashed in Fu Xiu's eyes, and his voice deepened.

"I think we should let him experience what it's like to be abandoned by everyone first, Yi Shu, what do you think?"

Bai Yishu was curious about what he specifically wanted to do, so she continued to ask.

"For example?"

"For example, causing his partners to lose trust in him, creating divisions within the He family, and gradually destroying everything he owns."

Fu Xiu glanced at Bai Yishu again, his tone softening slightly, but still tinged with coldness.

"Finally, hand over the evidence and send him to his doom."

Turn left at the intersection ahead, and the outline of a villa emerges in the night.

"This process might take a while. Do you have the patience?"

Bai Yishu lowered her eyes and said without hesitation, "As long as it can destroy him."

Fu Xiu's lips curled up slightly when he heard Bai Yishu's decisive answer.

"Okay, let's proceed according to plan."

The car stopped in front of the villa, the engine stopped, and a brief silence fell inside.

"Yi Shu, go inside and rest for a while."

Bai Yishu glanced at the villa gate, hesitated, and then opened the car door and got out.

Fu Xiu followed her into the house and closed the door behind him.

Only one floor lamp was on in the living room, casting an ambiguous, dim yellow light over the entire space.

"What would you like to drink? Alcohol, or something else?"

Fu Xiu walked towards the bar, his back looking long and lonely under the lights.

His fingertips tapped lightly on the bar counter, making a rhythmic sound, as he awaited Bai Yishu's reply.

"Let's drink then."

Bai Yishu sat down on the sofa, her posture somewhat reserved.

Fu Xiu took out a bottle of red wine, opened it, and the aroma of the wine filled the air.

He poured two glasses, carried them to Bai Yishu, and handed her one.

"This wine tastes good."

Fu Xiu sat down on the sofa next to her, crossed his legs, gently swirled the wine glass in his hand, and looked at her through the rim of the glass.

Fu Xiu took a sip of wine, and the sour taste on his tongue seemed to make his mind even clearer.

"Yi Shu, I admit that I did have the intention of using you at the beginning, hoping to use you to strike at He Yun Shen."

He put down his glass, leaned forward, rested his elbows on his knees, and looked unreadable.

"But things are a little different now."

Bai Yishu looked at Fu Xiu, and the atmosphere between the two became subtle.

Fu Xiu met her gaze, his eyes showing an unusual seriousness.

"I've realized I don't just want to use you, Yi Shu. I know it sounds ridiculous, saying this at a time like this, but I..."

He didn't say anything more, but instead laughed self-deprecatingly, picked up his glass, and took another sip.

His fingers traced the rim of the wine glass, his eyes filled with emotions that Bai Yishu couldn't understand.

"I know you probably don't like me very much."

He turned his head to look at Bai Yishu, his eyes behind his glasses now showing a hint of caution.

"But I just want you to know that I now have more personal reasons for dealing with He Yun Shen."

His voice lowered, his gaze lingered on Bai Yishu's lips for a second, then quickly shifted away.
