Inside her luxurious office, Wang Yin stood by the tall glass window, staring at the city below. Her fingers clenched around her phone as she read through the online comments about Zi Ning's interview. The anger burning inside her was unbearable.
[Zi Ning speaks the truth! She was framed!]
[Wang Yin has always been suspicious. She's behind everything!]
[I never trusted the rumors about Zi Ning. She deserves justice.]
With each comment, her frustration grew. She had spent years carefully building her power, controlling the media, and eliminating threats. And yet, in just one night, Zi Ning had managed to turn everything against her.
A sharp knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.
"Come in," she snapped.
A man in a black suit entered, his expression grim. It was Zhou Cheng, one of her most trusted subordinates.
"Ms. Wang, we have a problem," he said.
She shot him a glare. "I already know that! Tell me something useful!"
Zhou Cheng hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Your business partners are growing uneasy. Some are thinking of cutting ties. They say the public backlash is too strong."
Wang Yin's nails dug into her palm. "Fools. They only care about their image."
Zhou Cheng lowered his voice. "It's not just them. One of our major investors is considering pulling out. If they do, the company's stocks will take a serious hit."
A wave of rage surged through her. "That damned Zi Ning! She should've been ruined by now!"
She slammed her fist on the desk. For years, she had controlled every step of Zi Ning's life, ensuring she never became a threat. And yet, somehow, the girl had escaped her grasp.
Wang Yin took a deep breath, forcing herself to stay calm. She couldn't afford to lose control now.
"What about the media?" she asked. "Are the reporters still following our orders?"
Zhou Cheng shook his head. "Some of them are hesitant. The public is turning against us, and they don't want to be caught supporting the wrong side."
Wang Yin narrowed her eyes. "Then we'll make them afraid. If they think they can betray me without consequences, they're wrong."
Zhou Cheng hesitated. "There's another problem."
Wang Yin gritted her teeth. "What now?"
He handed her a tablet. "This was just released."
Wang Yin's eyes widened as she read the latest news article.
[Breaking: Evidence of Wang Yin's Secret Deals Leaked!]
[Multiple hidden transactions and suspicious business dealings uncovered—Is this the end for Wang Yin?]
Attached were screenshots of financial records, proving her involvement in illegal activities.
Her hands trembled. This wasn't just a minor scandal—this was enough to destroy everything she had built.
"Who did this?" she demanded.
Zhou Cheng's expression was grim. "It must be Lu Yichen. He has the resources to dig this up. And now that Zi Ning is on his side, they're working together to take you down."
Wang Yin's heart pounded. She had underestimated Zi Ning. That girl was no longer the weak, obedient puppet she used to be.
But Wang Yin wasn't going to lose. Not like this.
She turned to Zhou Cheng, her voice cold. "We need to act fast. Find out who leaked this and shut them up. Use money, threats—whatever it takes."
Zhou Cheng nodded and left the room.
Wang Yin sat down, taking a deep breath. She needed to think. She had to regain control before everything fell apart.
Meanwhile, Zi Ning sat in Lu Yichen's office, watching the news unfold.
Xu Jia clapped her hands. "Look at that! The internet is on fire. People are finally seeing Wang Yin for what she really is!"
Zi Ning remained calm, but inside, she felt satisfaction. For years, she had suffered under Wang Yin's schemes. But now, the truth was finally coming to light.
Lu Yichen leaned back in his chair. "She won't go down easily. She'll try to fight back."
Zi Ning nodded. "I know. That's why we need to be prepared for her next move."
Xu Jia smirked. "Let her try. The more she struggles, the deeper she'll sink."
Lu Yichen looked at Zi Ning. "Are you ready for what's coming?"
Zi Ning met his gaze. "I've never been more ready."
The next day, Wang Yin made her move.
She held a press conference, standing in front of reporters with a carefully rehearsed expression of concern.
"The rumors about me are false," she declared. "These so-called 'evidences' were fabricated by my enemies to ruin my reputation. I have always been a law-abiding businesswoman."
Reporters threw questions at her.
"Ms. Wang, what about the leaked documents?"
"Are you saying someone faked them?"
"Do you suspect Zi Ning and Lu Yichen?"
Wang Yin smiled faintly, her voice calm. "I do not wish to point fingers, but it is clear that someone wants to destroy me. I will be taking legal action against those spreading lies."
Her words were smooth, but online, people weren't convinced.
[She's obviously lying.]
[She's just trying to save herself.]
[Zi Ning didn't even accuse her directly, yet she's already acting defensive? Suspicious.]
The damage had already been done. People no longer trusted Wang Yin's words so easily.
And then, another bombshell dropped.
A new article surfaced, exposing even more of Wang Yin's crimes. This time, it wasn't just financial fraud. There were testimonies from people she had silenced, former employees who had suffered under her.
[Former assistant reveals Wang Yin's abusive behavior—"She ruined lives for her own gain."]
[Actress speaks out—"Wang Yin blacklisted me when I refused to obey her."]
The headlines spread like wildfire.
Wang Yin's press conference had barely ended, yet her empire was already crumbling.
In a dark room, Wang Yin slammed her phone down, her breathing heavy.
Everything was slipping through her fingers.
She turned to Zhou Cheng. "I don't care what it takes. Find something on Zi Ning. Anything. I want her destroyed!"
Zhou Cheng hesitated. "We've tried, but there's nothing. Lu Yichen has erased all possible weaknesses."
Wang Yin's eyes darkened. "Then we create one."
Zhou Cheng frowned. "What do you mean?"
A cold smile spread across Wang Yin's lips. "If there's no dirt on her, we'll make it ourselves. Find someone to frame her. Plant evidence. I don't care how you do it—just make sure she doesn't come out of this clean."
Zhou Cheng hesitated, but one look at Wang Yin's expression told him there was no room for argument.
"Understood."
As he left the room, Wang Yin exhaled slowly, regaining her composure.
Zi Ning had won a battle, but the war was far from over.
And Wang Yin wasn't going down without a fight.
