The Li family's true colors have finally quieted down for now!

But... a far more insidious war has already begun silently.

On this day, a shocking piece of gossip suddenly broke out on several well-known local forums and gossip circles in Dongyang!

"Shocking! Lin Yuqing, the head of the Lin Group, has a chaotic private life. She openly has affairs with mistresses and shady men in the street, and she doesn't even go home at night, keeping a gigolo at home. She's utterly shameless..."

The writing was incredibly realistic, and it even included several secretly taken photos of Lin Yuqing and Ye Feng going out together, as well as their conversation at home that night, all deliberately distorted and spliced ​​together in an obscene manner. Instantly, all sorts of rumors emerged, pointing the finger at Lin Yuqing's moral standards and the tainted identity of her "bodyguard," Ye Feng.

It's the Li family's counterattack! If they can't win in a direct confrontation or a head-on battle, then they'll dredge up "that night," using the most shameless means to frame two people and shake the foundation of the Lin family!

Lin Yuqing, her face pale with rage, gritted her teeth and her hand trembled as she gripped the phone, saying, "They're using this trick again? This is outrageous!"

Ye Feng, however, remained surprisingly calm. "The more you rush to explain yourself in this quagmire, the less you'll be able to explain. They just want to kill you; let them be this corrupt!"

"So I'll just let them be this dark?" Lin Yuqing said unwillingly.

"No!" Ye Feng's eyes were icy cold as he put down his tea. "They dared to dredge up 'that night' because they believed the truth of that night was extremely disgraceful for you, a fatal weakness. What they never expected was... that night, the truly disgraceful one was actually the Li family!"

"Why did you get into trouble at the family banquet? Because someone drugged you. And why did you barely escape with your life after returning home? Because someone chased you with a knife and a machete. The culprit behind both of these incidents is the Li family!" He sneered. "I have a poisoned thorn from a Seven-Star Begonia sword, and a patient from that clinic in the east of the city also has it. These are evidence that the Li family hired someone to silence you. They want to use 'that night' as a pretext? Excellent, I'll tell everyone who needs to see it!"

Soon, under Ye Feng's planning, several elderly people who could speak and some trustworthy media outlets quietly obtained a complete document, which included the hospital's diagnosis, the police report and dispatch records from that night, and the poisoned dagger. Everything was clear.

Throughout the entire incident, Ye Feng never once mentioned the part of "that night" that belonged to Lin Yuqing. He clearly stated that "she was the victim and I was the doctor who treated the patient," and didn't mention anything else.

"One was drugged, the other was being hunted, a frail woman who barely escaped death!"

Ye Feng felt completely at ease with this senior doctor: "What did she need that night? She needed medical treatment and protection! And I just happened to be a doctor. I could save people, and I have a clear conscience."

"And what about those who jumped out so eager to hype up that night, those who threw shit on a little girl's head?" Ye Feng paused meaningfully. "Old man, the more eager they are to hype up that night, doesn't it show they're afraid, afraid of being exposed?"

The old man, experienced as he was, immediately grasped the key point, and his face darkened: "Hmm, the rumor, it's self-defeating, isn't it?"

Once again, Ye Feng managed to turn the tide.

People were shocked to discover that the "lewd CEO" who had been splashed with excrement was actually a victim who had been drugged, hunted down, and narrowly escaped death.

It turns out that the "man of unknown origin" was actually her savior, a master doctor!

The first to lose their heads were the most gossipy old ladies in Dongyang—a while ago they were saying Lin Yuqing was despicable, but now that things are clear, they quickly changed their tune and started cursing those who spread rumors as heartless, as if they were the ones who had been gossiping before.

Public opinion overwhelmingly sympathized with Lin Yuqing; the clown who hid here spreading rumors and failed to steal a chicken became the target of public criticism.

"Beautiful!" Seeing that public opinion had completely reversed, Lin Yuqing breathed a long sigh of relief. When she looked at Ye Feng again, her eyes were filled with unreserved admiration and trust. "You always manage to turn the big pits people dig into their graves!"

"It's just a trivial skill," Ye Feng waved his hand dismissively.

Just in the last couple of days, Zhu Wanqing also received some good news.

Following Ye Feng's instructions, Zhu Wanqing investigated the partners who had been forced to withdraw their investments. Sure enough, she found irrefutable evidence of coercion and exploitation by the Zhao family's companies. Some had been promised orders, while others had been caught evading taxes.

Zhu Wanqing made a firm decision, bringing irrefutable evidence to visit her business partner and using a combination of persuasion and pressure to pull them back. Ye Feng provided direction, but the path she forged was one she painstakingly paved herself, working through two sleepless nights!

In the secondary market, CDH's frantic accumulation of shares was also due to Ye Feng helping Old Man Zhou.

This time, Old Zhou didn't agree as readily as he had when investigating the Zhao family's background. "Stabilizing the market is different from digging up dirt," he said, his tone hesitant on the phone. "My connections are in the medical field; I can get information and offer advice. But if we're talking about throwing money at the Zhao family in the market, that's a different story. It involves real money and real risk, and I can't do that." He only gave a key direction: "The Zhao family relies on getting something for nothing; they lack capital. As long as the Zhu family establishes a firm foothold and prevents the Zhao family from trying to buy at a low price, they won't be able to hold on."

The remaining tough battles will have to be fought by Zhu Wanqing herself.

She gritted her teeth and mortgaged her private assets to weather the cash flow crisis, then used the evidence of her cooperation with the other party to fight back against the Zhao family. They fought to the death, and only then did she manage to catch her breath.

The Zhao family's plan backfired. Not only did they fail to receive any real money, but their scheme was also exposed, forcing Dinghui Capital to slink away in disgrace, thus resolving the Zhu family's financial crisis.

Zhu Wanqing made a special call to thank her. The other end of the line was more polite and earnest than before, but even so, she didn't readily say "I believe you" or "I accept this marriage."

Still unwilling to lose even a bit of their pride, all they can say is, "The Zhu family has lost a great favor to you!"

Lin Yuqing answered the phone.

After hanging up the phone, he was speechless for a long time.

My hand holding the phone is a little sore.

On one hand, she was happy that she had helped Ye Feng save such a valuable asset, but on the other hand, the increasingly sincere voice of the Zhu woman seemed to pierce her heart.

That's the man who's supposed to be her fiancée!

"What are you looking at? Your soul isn't even here!" Ye Feng teased, raising an eyebrow as he saw her lost in thought.

"It's nothing!" Lin Yuqing snapped out of her daze, suppressing her inexplicable awkwardness, and turned to change the subject: "Thanks to your fiancée!"

"Oh dear, you really are..." Ye Feng chuckled, not explaining much. The time wasn't right yet; the day when the truth about the real marriage would come to light was yet to come.

"But!" Ye Feng's smile faded, and he became very serious. "The fact that the Li family is willing to turn against us and use public opinion shows that they are in a hurry."

They've used every tactic imaginable, both overt and covert, official and public opinion maneuvering, but nothing has worked. They might resort to truly ruthless, bloodless methods later on!

Just as he finished speaking, the piercing pain in his chest suddenly and violently chewed up his meridians again, far more intense than ever before.

His face turned deathly pale in an instant.

Ye Feng reached out and pressed his hand to his chest.

While pressing his chest, Ye Feng secretly pinched his fingers.

Counting from the day I came down the mountain, six months have passed silently for almost two months, and in another four months the period of signs will begin.

After the warning period, the first wave of demolition will begin.

However, the key to 'True Yin' that could undo the death calamity still contains a wrong answer, and he is completely unaware of it.

Time was slipping away little by little through his fingers.
