Su Group.

The atmosphere in the conference room on the top floor was solemn and heavy.

All the shareholders and executives were already seated. They knew that just yesterday, the Su family had secured the order from Tianhai Group.

However, Su Yingxue's solemn expression and Su Changhong beside her made them realize that today's meeting was by no means a celebration banquet.

Su Yingxue sat upright in the main seat, dressed in a smart suit skirt, with a cold expression.

"Yesterday, we successfully secured an order for lotion and cream products worth 500 million yuan, thanks to everyone's hard work."

"Everyone knows the result, but most people are not clear about the process."

One of the directors frowned and said, "Is there some kind of twist in the story?"

Su Yingxue sneered: "Of course! Didn't everyone notice that a very important person is missing today?"

After being reminded, they realized what was happening.

Where is Su Wangchuan?

In an instant, the conference room was filled with the rustling sounds of discussion.

"There's no need for anyone to guess anymore; he will never appear at the Su family's again!"

Su Yingxue immediately recounted how Su Wangchuan colluded with Wei Ning, secretly added malicious clauses to the contract, intended to betray the company's interests, and frame Ye Heng.

"If Ye Heng hadn't been there to intimidate everyone, and if the power he represented hadn't made Tianhai Wei Zong bow down and the Chu family back down, the Su family would not only have lost the 500 million order last night, but would have become a laughing stock in the Jinling business community, and might even have been gradually eroded by Tianhai Group through this clause."

Su Yingxue's gaze swept over every shareholder and executive present. "Su Wangchuan's actions are not only a business betrayal, but also a trampling on the Su family's nurturing grace and a shaking of the foundation of the entire group."

At this moment, Su Changhong also spoke with deep sorrow:

"I, Su Changhong, have met countless people in my life, yet I have raised an ungrateful, treacherous wolf in my own home."

"Su Wangchuan, from this moment on, is no longer a member of the Su family. All shares, positions, and related rights granted to him by the Su Group will be immediately revoked through legal procedures. The Su family has no descendants like him."

His gaze then turned to Su Yingxue: "Yingxue, you handled this matter correctly. And thankfully... thankfully Ye Heng was there."

Although these words were not explicitly stated, everyone present was shrewd enough to understand the old man's approval and reliance on Ye Heng. If it weren't for Ye Heng, the Su family would have already fallen into the abyss last night.

At this point, many shareholders who had never even heard of Ye Heng began to speculate about who he was.

It's amazing that they could make Wei Zong bow his head and make Chu Wei, that tiger, submit.

When a shareholder directly asked Su Changhong about Ye Heng's identity, Su Changhong, with a look of satisfaction and pride, calmly announced: "Ye Heng is the fiancé I personally chose for Yingxue, and also the future grandson-in-law of my Su family."

These words caused an uproar in the room.

The shareholders looked at each other in shock—the "ice queen" Su Yingxue, known for her cold and domineering nature and who never had any scandals, actually already had a fiancé!

Moreover, this fiancé is the very person who displayed astonishing power at last night's banquet, even making the chairman of Tianhai Group bow his head.

After the initial shock, the shareholders quickly recovered, their faces beaming with enthusiastic smiles as they rushed to congratulate Su Changhong.

"Congratulations, Mr. Su! Congratulations, Mr. Su! Mr. Su is both talented and handsome, and now you've found such a wonderful son-in-law. It's truly a double blessing!"

"Mr. Su has a keen eye! Mr. Ye is young and promising, yet keeps a low profile. With him at Su's helm, how can the company not prosper?"

"No wonder Tianhai Group and the Chu family are so respectful; it turns out there's this connection! President Su is truly fortunate, and the Su family is truly blessed!"

During the shareholders' meeting, another shareholder reacted in a completely different manner.

Chairman Sun lowered his eyes.

He harbored resentment towards his son for being expelled because of Ye Heng, and even secretly hoped that Su Yingxue would make a mistake in her decision.

But at this moment, hearing that Su Wangchuan had been killed by Ye Heng in one move, the resentment in his heart was instantly replaced by a chill.

"This Su Wangchuan... he's completely insane! He even dares to undermine his own family's foundation! Yingxue expelling my son is at least a regulated act. But this adopted son wants to drag the entire Su family down with him!"

"Just who is Ye Heng? Even Wei Zong and Chu Wei have to defer to him?"

Qiao Wei, sitting in the executive seat, looked unusually pale.

Su Wangchuan's collapse was so thorough and so swift that it completely exceeded her expectations.

The Vice President Su, whom she once regarded as a powerful backer, became a stray dog ​​overnight, publicly expelled and stripped of everything by the Su family.

"It's over... he's really finished. And what about me? I did things for him, I passed messages... if it all comes back to me..."

A tremendous fear gripped her.

She struggled her way out of a remote mountain village. Her parents worked hard, her younger brother's tuition fees were covered, and the whole family depended on her high-paying job.

Losing her job at Su's was not only a career setback for her, but also the collapse of her entire family.

It wasn't until she heard Su Yingxue say that Ye Heng had facilitated the order that she understood.

Ye Heng... the man who almost mocked and forced her to submit in the office.

"It's him...it's actually him! I thought he was just a thug with some tricks up his sleeve..."

Amidst the fear, a strange sense of relief arose.

Fortunately, that day in the office, she finally chose to give in and surrender to him.

But this sense of relief was instantly overwhelmed by an even deeper feeling of powerlessness.

Under Su Wangchuan, she could still maintain a semblance of independence and dignity based on her abilities and value. At least Su Wangchuan needed her to do things and wouldn't force her in such a blatant way.

"But Ye Heng is a wolf in sheep's clothing! Falling into his hands is no different from falling into a tiger's den!"

Qiao Wei's hands, which were placed under the table, were clasped tightly together.

The meeting continued, discussing how to eliminate Su Wangchuan's influence and stabilize the company's situation.

……

Wanfeng Tower.

It was nearly noon outside the window, and sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting a warm dappled pattern on the floor.

The air was still filled with a faint, enchanting fragrance and the lingering aroma of osmanthus wine.

Liu Zhixian lay on her side on the sofa, her long, black hair spread out like seaweed, with a few strands sticking to her slightly damp forehead and neck.

A thin blanket was loosely draped over her body, revealing a large expanse of her snow-white, smooth shoulders and back, as well as the beautiful lines of her collarbone, with a few ambiguous red marks still remaining on it.

She rested her head on Ye Heng's firm chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, her slender fingers unconsciously tracing circles on his chest.

Ye Heng put his arm around her, his gaze falling on her face so close to his own, and suddenly remembered something.

He reached out and took something out of his storage ring.

It was a piece of warm, smooth ancient jade.

"I almost forgot, this is your birthday present." Ye Heng handed the jade pendant to her.

A hint of smugness flashed across Liu Zhixian's face as she propped herself up from his embrace, unaware that the thin blanket had slipped off her shoulders.

She took the jade pendant; it felt slightly cool to the touch, but it quickly seemed to be assimilated by her body temperature, becoming warm and soothing.

"I picked it up casually in the antique street a while ago," Ye Heng said casually, as if it were just a trivial trinket.

"The item itself is quite old, and the jade quality is decent. The key is that there is a rudimentary protective array left behind by an ancient cultivator inside. That's quite interesting."

"I thought it was too rudimentary, so I put some effort into modifying the formation and added several layers of protective and warning talismans. Now it's like a talisman; you can wear it close to your body."

"It can block most ordinary physical attacks and internal energy impacts. If it encounters dangers beyond its tolerance limit, or certain evil spells targeting you, it will trigger a powerful defense, and I will immediately sense it."

Liu Zhixian looked at the ancient jade, which he had personally crafted and prepared especially for her to protect her life! Its value far surpassed any rare treasure in the world.

He gave it away seemingly casually, but he had considered everything so thoroughly.

It's not just about protection; it's even establishing a sensory connection with itself.

This sentiment moved her more than any sweet words.
