The morning sun struggled to penetrate the old curtains that were full of gaps, shedding a few rays of shimmering light on Lin Yue's face. She woke up leisurely, and the sweet images of last night's meeting with Shen Yifeng in the seaside park kept playing in her mind like a warm short movie. Shen Yifeng's firm eyes and fiery words had briefly allowed her heart, which had been fluttering due to the class gap, to find a harbor. But when her eyes swept over the outdated furniture in the house, the helplessness of reality instantly overwhelmed her like a tidal wave, and the unknown threat posed by Li Ming was just like the sword of Damocles hanging high above her head, making her vaguely uneasy inwardly.
Lin Yue hurriedly washed up and ran to the company. This day, her mind was not on her work, like a kite with a broken string, drifting back and forth between her worries about Shen Yifeng and the paperwork at hand. She tried her best to focus on the words on the computer screen, but it was as if all those characters were transformed into Shen Yifeng's appearance, lingering.
At the same moment, Shen Yifeng was in the company's conference room, discussing with his team the response plan for the new business project with his brows furrowed. On the surface, he was calm and composed, but inwardly, his heart was like a river turning over. He was well aware of Li Ming's ruthless methods, and it was highly likely that Lin Yue would be caught up in this crisis. "No matter what the cost, the project crisis must be resolved as soon as possible, and Lin Yue must not be harmed in the slightest." Shen Yifeng secretly swore in his heart.
On Li Ming's side, the investigation made a major breakthrough. The mysterious person's phone call broke the silence of the office, with a hint of eagerness to invite credit in his voice: "Mr. Li, this Lin Yue's life is not simple! She was adopted as a child, and the family that adopted her was closely related to the Shen Yifeng family's early years of business disputes. A decision made by Shen's enterprise back then caused her adoptive parents' company to go bankrupt, after which they disappeared, leaving only Lin Yue behind."
A sinister sneer surfaced on Li Ming's face, as if he had already seen victory in sight: "It's really heaven helping me! Shen Yifeng, let's see how you'll cope this time." Hanging up the phone, Li Ming began to carefully plan the next move, he wants to borrow Lin Yue's life, in Shen Yifeng's business projects to set off shock waves.
After work, Shen Yifeng came to pick up Lin Yue as usual. The moment Lin Yue saw him, the uneasiness in her heart suddenly lessened by a few points. Shen Yifeng looked at Lin Yue's slightly haggard face and asked painfully, "Why do you look so tired? Is work not going well?" Lin Yue barely managed to pull out a smile and said softly, "It's fine, probably didn't rest well."
Shen Yifeng brought Lin Yue to the seaside park, which was quiet and peaceful, with only the waves gently lapping against the beach, playing a pleasant music. They paced slowly along the beach, the sea breeze gently ruffled Lin Yue's hair. Shen Yifeng suddenly stopped and turned around, looking at Lin Yue with deep emotion and concentration, "Lin Yue, no matter what will happen to you in the future, I will always be by your side and will never let anyone hurt you."
Lin Yue looked at Shen Yifeng's affectionate eyes, a warm current welled up in her heart, but she still couldn't help but voice her heartfelt concerns, "Shen Yifeng, the gap between us is so big, and Xiaoyan and Li Ming and they ... can we really come together?" Shen Yifeng gently held Lin Yue's hand, pressed her hand against his chest and said sincerely, "Believe me, those are not problems. All I care about is you, nothing else can stop us from being together." Lin Yue was touched and leaned on Shen Yifeng's shoulder, at that moment, how she wished that time could be frozen in this beautiful moment forever.
However, peace was always short-lived. The next day, Lin Yue received an anonymous package at the company. She opened it with trepidation, inside were some newspaper clippings and documents detailing the business disputes in the early years of Shen Yifeng's family business, as well as the causes and consequences of the bankruptcy of her adoptive parents' company. As Lin Yue looked at the information, her face instantly turned pale and her hands trembled uncontrollably.
"What the hell is going on here? Why would someone give me these?" Lin Yue's heart was filled with doubt and fear. She realized that she was afraid that the connection between her birth and Shen Yifeng's family had been exploited.
At the same time, Shen Yifeng's business project was in an unprecedented crisis. Li Ming secretly united with some ill-intentioned partners to deliberately create chaos in the key links of the project, resulting in a serious delay in the progress of the project. When Shen Yifeng learned of the news, he immediately called an urgent meeting with his team to discuss countermeasures.
"This project must not be destroyed just like that, we must think of every way to solve the problem!" Shen Yifeng's eyes revealed a firm determination. While he analyzed the problem in depth with his team members, he silently held Lin Yue in his heart, worrying that she had also been affected by Li Ming.
Lin Yue decided to take the initiative to find Shen Yifeng and ask for clarification. She came to Shen Yifeng's company and in his office, handed him the anonymous packages she had received. When Shen Yifeng saw those materials, his face also became grave.
"Lin Yue, I really didn't know anything about these things before. My family business did have some business disputes in its early years, but I never thought it would be related to you." Shen Yifeng explained seriously. Lin Yue looked at him, the doubts in her heart slightly alleviated, "I believe you, but why would someone give these to me?"
Shen Yifeng pondered for a moment and said in a determined tone, "It's most likely Li Ming. He's been secretly investigating you and wants to use you against me." Lin Yue's heart surged with anger after hearing this, "How could he do this? What should we do?"
Shen Yifeng held Lin Yue's hand tightly, giving her strength and confidence, "Don't worry, I'll fix it. He wants to use these to sabotage us, we're not going to let him have his way." Although Shen Yifeng was calm on the surface, he knew in his heart that this crisis was far more complicated and tricky than imagined.
In order to deal with Li Ming's conspiracy, Shen Yifeng on the one hand increased investment in commercial projects, and personally went out to communicate and negotiate with partners to try to salvage the situation; on the other hand, he arranged for reliable people to covertly protect Lin Yue to ensure her safety.
Lin Yue also did not sit back and wait for death, relying on her own contacts and resources accumulated in the advertising agency, began to investigate Li Ming's background and his recent movements. She asked around, not letting go of any possible clues. In order to get close to a person who might know Li Ming's secret, she first spends a lot of time collecting information about the other person and learns that the other person often goes to a remote cafe. So she went there every day after work to "meet by chance". At first, the other party was very wary and ignored her overtures. But Lin Yue did not give up, she observed that the other party likes to read a certain type of books, they do their homework in advance, in an exchange successfully aroused the interest of the other party. After many such maneuvers, and even when the other party encountered trouble at work, Lin Yue used her own contacts to help him solve the problem, and gradually gained his trust.
Finally, under Lin Yue's unremitting efforts, this person revealed a key piece of information: Li Ming had once been involved in an illegal business deal, and there was evidence being kept by one of his men. After Lin Yue tells Shen Yifeng about this information, Shen Yifeng decides to take a chance and find the henchman and get the evidence as a way to fight back against Li Ming.
They finally found the henchman after a difficult search. At first, the henchman was adamant and refused to hand over the evidence. Shen Yifeng patiently analyzes the pros and cons and promises to give him certain benefits, while Lin Yue talks about the harm that Li Ming's actions have caused to others. After a long time of persuasion, this underling's attitude finally loosened, and eventually handed over the evidence. Shen Yifeng looked at the evidence in his hand, and hope flared up in his heart, "Lin Yue, with this, Li Ming won't be able to be arrogant anymore."
However, just when they thought things were about to be resolved, Li Ming learned in advance that they had gotten the evidence. He was infuriated and decided to dogpile and send someone to attack Lin Yue in an attempt to retrieve the evidence.
One night, Lin Yue was walking home from work in a dimly lit alley. Suddenly, several black shadows like ghosts sprang out from the corner, instantly surrounding her, the cold gaze as if a hungry wolf staring at its prey, making people shudder. Lin Yue looked at these people in horror, her heart filled with fear: "What do you want?"
One of the leaders said viciously, "Hand over the evidence, or you won't be able to leave alive today!" Lin Yue tightly guarded the bag with evidence and said without fear: "I won't give it to you, you can't have your way!"
At this critical moment, Shen Yifeng arrived in time with his men. Originally, he has been uneasy Lin Yue, secretly sent people to follow her. In the dimly lit alley, the air seemed to be frozen with tension. Shen Yifeng's men pounced on the enemy like tigers, and the sound of fists and feet clashing was particularly ear-piercing in the silent night. Shen Yifeng's gaze was like a torch, every movement carried anger and determination as he fought to break out in Lin Yue's direction.
Lin Yue hid on the sidelines, her heart seemed to be clutched tightly by a big invisible hand, watching Shen Yifeng fight for himself in the chaos, touched, worried and fearful intertwined, tears blurred her eyes, she had never felt the weight of this love so deeply.
After a fierce fight, Shen Yifeng's men managed to subdue the men. Shen Yifeng walked over to Lin Yue and held her tightly in his arms, "Are you alright? Scared me to death." Lin Yue cried, "I'm fine, thank you, Shen Yi Feng."
This crisis had come to an end for the time being, but both Shen Yifeng and Lin Yue knew that this was just the calm before the storm. Li Ming wouldn't let up, and they had to come up with a more thorough way to deal with the next challenges as soon as possible. And Xiaoyan was also in the shadows, hatching new plots and trying to sabotage their relationship once again. Lin Yue can't help but think that the class gap between herself and Shen Yifeng has not only brought about many troubles in her relationship, but now she is even involved in this crisis because of her family's business disputes... Does the class gap really determine her fate in this way? Li Ming, driven by interests, counts others by any means, human nature is so easily twisted in business competition, what kind of sadness is this?
In this time of crisis, can the relationship between Shen Yifeng and Lin Yue withstand the test? And how will they resolve the upcoming bigger crisis? Everything is still unknown ...
