White Tiger was stunned before he quickly realized what was going on and stared at Yun Liu in surprise, whereas Dragon and Gray Wolf looked indifferent as they already had suspicions about her.
Yun Liu appeared extremely aggrieved as tears streamed down her face. “You suspect I have something to do with this, Shi Nian? I—I really don’t know what that was all about. I’ve been with you guys the whole time. I—I never had anything else in mind, and I can’t possibly have the capability to call so many reporters over. Shi Nian, please believe me! I really don’t know what that was all about! *sobs*”
Yun Liu wept delicately, and White Tiger couldn’t bear it and softly consoled her. “Okay, don’t cry. We’re not blaming you. Isn’t that right, Shi Nian?”
Shi Nian impassively uttered, “The Shi family’s chauffeur will come to pick you up and send you home. We’ll visit the Gu family’s residence to thank you in person another day.”
Yun Liu’s eyes instantly widened when she heard this, and she looked at Shi Nian in disbelief. Shi Nian turned away from her. Yun Liu gently wiped her tears and said piteously, “Thank you, Shi Nian. Then—then I’ll go home and inform my parents. They’ve wanted to pay you a visit for a while now. It’s just that our status in the Gu family isn’t all that high, so we didn’t dare to extend an invitation.”
“If I manage to invite you and your family over, my parents will definitely be impressed with me, and my life at home will be better afterward. However, you don’t have to take the matter of me helping you to heart, Shi Nian. I’m glad that I could be of help.”
Seeing this, White Tiger couldn’t help but feel compassion for her, and he looked at Shi Nian. Shi Nian nodded lightly and replied, “Don’t worry. Yun Nan will take care of this matter.”
Hearing that, Yun Liu paled.
Yun Nan’s palms were wet with sweat. When the last scene flashed and froze on the screen, Yun Nan couldn’t even feel herself breathing. Chen Nian and Chang Yuan finally heaved a deep sigh of relief, and Chen Nian whispered, “It’s done!”
Only then did Yun Nan feel her heart beat again. “That was close! Too close! It’s all thanks to Ye Kun and Liang Han that we got through it this time, and Xi
Cheng, ot course,” Chang Yuan stated.
Yun Nan shut the folder before her and sighed, “Yeah, we’re in the clear for now. ”
“Now that the tide has gone out, we can clearly see who has been swimming naked. This incident exposed all the problems in the Shi Corporation, so it’s not a bad thing for the Shi family,” Chen Nian remarked.
Chang Yuan still shuddered when he thought back to it. “Yeah! No wonder Uncle Shi said that we’ve been living in comfort for too long and are bound to suffer losses sooner or later if we don’t prepare ourselves for potential danger. Those hidden risks and problems wouldn’t have been exposed if it weren’t for this sudden ordeal. We wouldn’t be able to end those problems so easily if they were given time to snowball and gain momentum. I don’t know if I should thank these people or hate them.”
Yun Nan pondered deeply before replying, “From the looks of it, their sudden attack this time was clearly unprepared. Something must’ve happened that caused them to change their attack plan at the last minute and launch a rash attack. Therefore, we’d indeed just won by chance.”
She continued, “I have the feeling that their target is Big Brother and Xiang Yang. We’d obviously disrupted their plans when we faked Shi Nian’s car accident. They saw a chance to take down Shi Corporation with Shi Nian out of the picture, got greedy, and rashly launched an attack on us even though they weren’t fully prepared to face us, giving themselves away in the process. We may have won the battle, but not the war. They’ve only cut their losses and pulled back for now, but they definitely won’t give up. We have to be on guard.”
Chen Nian and Chang Yuan both nodded in agreement. Chen Nian smiled at Chang Yuan and said, “Your two old masters Shi are quite composed! They didn’t step in during such a big matter. I doubt anyone else would be so unperturbed in their shoes.”
Chang Yuan’s admiration for the two Shi family elders was blatant as he stated, “Although Uncle Shi has retired from the corporation, he warned us early on, and when the incident just began, he told us not to panic and to treat this as a rare training opportunity. He said that the Shi family and corporation’s futures are bound to be handed over to us younger generation, and we have to face the storms ourselves. A temporary loss is nothing; it’s a win as long as we keep our foundation stable.”
Chen Nian mused over those words and nodded in agreement. “Chen Nian, do you feel like you’ve learned a lot and benefited greatly from that?” Yun Nan asked with a smile.
“Of course! Although I’ve been through a lot and learned many things with Old Master Gu, the things I’ve seen in this incident—especially the courage and magnanimity of the two old masters Shi—are enough for me to learn for the rest of my life,” Chen Nian replied sincerely.
“Then, if that’s the case, I don’t need to thank you for racking your brain together with me and Chang Yuan for so many days. Just think of it as a tuition fee,” Yun Nan joked.
Chen Nian and Chang Yuan were stunned by that before laughing out loud.
“Then I’ve gotten the better end of the deal!” Chen Nian said. “You guys have to bring me along if you have any good learning opportunities in the future.”
The three of them had an unspoken understanding. Chen Nian was Gu Bei’s most trusted—like a son and a disciple to the man—whereas Yun Nan was Gu Bei’s specified heir, and Gu Bei also admired Shi Nian a lot.. Chang Yuan was Shi Nian’s unrelated brother, so the trio were destined to work together in the future!
