After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 349 You must be careful

I was stunned for a moment, then it dawned on me—this was a warning from General Manager Li. He had indeed set his sights on us.

After hanging up the phone, I looked at Ye Huating, whose face was even paler: "Does...do he know?"

I shook my head, forcing myself to calm down: "He doesn't know it's us, but he's already starting to suspect. We must act quickly."

Ye Huating nodded, a determined glint in her eyes: "I will continue to look for evidence at home. You...you must be careful."

I nodded, but a bad feeling crept into my heart. Things were more complicated than we imagined, and every step we took could lead us into Mr. Li's trap.

A few days later, Ye Huating suddenly contacted me, saying she had something important to give me. We arranged to meet at a secluded coffee shop. When I arrived, Ye Huating was already sitting in a corner, her face as pale as a sheet.

"What's wrong?" I asked in a low voice, a vague unease creeping into my heart.

She shook her head and took out a stack of documents from her bag: "These are what I found last night. They are his transaction records with the gangsters, and also evidence of his money laundering."

I opened the file, my heart pounding. This evidence was enough to completely ruin Mr. Li, but we had to be careful.

Just then, the coffee shop door was suddenly pushed open, and Mr. Li walked in with several people. His gaze swept around the coffee shop, finally settling on us.

My heart almost stopped, and my fingers gripped the document tightly. Ye Huating's face turned deathly pale, but she quickly calmed down and whispered, "Don't panic, I'll handle this."

Mr. Li walked up to our table and looked at us coldly: "What are you doing here?"

Ye Huating looked up, a faint smile on her face: "I was discussing charity events with a friend. What brings you here?"

Mr. Li frowned, clearly not expecting her answer. He looked at me, his eyes filled with suspicion: "A charity event?"

Ye Huating nodded, her tone relaxed and natural: "Yes, she is a person who is enthusiastic about public welfare. We are discussing how to help those in need."

Mr. Li remained silent for a few seconds, clearly assessing whether she was telling the truth. Finally, he said coldly, "Go home early and don't wander around outside."

Ye Huating nodded, still smiling, "Okay, we'll go back right away."

Mr. Li turned and left, leading his men out of the coffee shop. I breathed a sigh of relief, but a complex mix of emotions welled up inside me. I secretly admired Ye Huating's quick wit, but it also made me realize that every step we took could have led us into Mr. Li's trap.

"They probably didn't see who I was," I said softly, feeling uneasy.

I was facing away from him and some distance from the door.

Ye Huating comforted me, saying, "Even though I know Ye has no connection to this, I'm already looking for a lawyer."

Hiring a lawyer so quickly? With that kind of efficiency, let's see how long Mr. Li can remain so arrogant.

Meanwhile, Lin Nan was dealing with company matters. The evidence she had previously obtained regarding Mr. Li's alleged embezzlement was insufficient, and she couldn't give it to me for a long time.

"Is everything normal at the company?"

"normal."

Jiang Yichen inquired about the company's recent situation and prepared to ship the last supplies overseas.

"I can go back to China soon."

"Of course, my subordinates over there told me that they've almost finished dealing with Gu Mo's matter."

"That's fine." Although it was just a simple reply, it was clear that Jiang Yichen was always thinking of me.

They were carefully advancing the investigation into General Manager Li every day, but unexpectedly, the situation suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse.

Mr. Li's suspicions about Ye Huating deepened. His suspicious nature was like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment. Simply because Ye Huating had been going out a little more often lately, he became convinced she had another man and began to keep a close watch on her.

The morning sunlight, which should have gently streamed into the room, became, for Ye Huating, a shackle imprisoning her. The men sent by President Li stood guard at the door like ghosts, ruthlessly stopping Ye Huating the moment she showed any intention of leaving. Ye Huating tried to resist, but only received increasingly fierce glares and threatening words from President Li.

"What on earth have you been up to lately? Have you been secretly dating some random guy behind my back?" Mr. Li glared fiercely at Ye Huating, his eyes seeming to devour her. Ye Huating trembled with fear, her pale face filled with terror, yet she was powerless to defend herself.

When I heard the news, I was extremely anxious.

Although I only got to know her because of Mr. Li, I really admire her strong qualities; she is a powerful woman.

She had long suffered domestic violence from Mr. Li, leaving her physically and mentally exhausted, but for various reasons, she had to maintain appearances. Now, for the sake of her child, Mr. Li's actions have undoubtedly made the situation even more critical.

Night fell, and I hid in my dimly lit room, the light from my phone screen illuminating my anxious face. I kept texting Ye Huating, urging her to stay calm and not anger President Li, while simultaneously racking my brains for a solution. Every passing second felt like a knife cutting into my heart.

"Don't be afraid, I will definitely get you out." I comforted Ye Huating in the message, but my hands were trembling uncontrollably. I knew I didn't have much time left; if President Li really did something drastic to Ye Huating, the consequences would be unimaginable.

I contacted Xiao Zhang, my voice filled with an unprecedented urgency: "We must act quickly, the situation is very urgent."

Xiao Zhang was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, then said firmly, "Okay, I'll figure something out right away."

After hanging up the phone, I looked out at the dark night sky, my heart filled with resolve.

The next morning, I received good news from Xiao Zhang: "Great! Someone over there has finally relented. As long as we agree to his demands, he will expose all of President Li's shady dealings."

"That's great. As long as his conditions aren't unreasonable, we can accept them."

I typed rapidly on the keyboard, afraid of being too slow to reply.

"The requirements are simple, and... what do you think?"

As I listened, I discussed with Xu Sisi and the others whether this method was feasible. Soon, they all agreed to the conditions for purchasing the damaging information.

"That's all for now. Let me know if anything happens."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yichen had already arranged the cooperation and was preparing to return to China.

"Lin Nan, everything's been booked here. How's your preparation going?"

Lin Nan received the message in the middle of the night and replied promptly: "I'm ready, so I stayed up all night yesterday. If you can get back to China in time, remember to give me a big raise afterwards."
