The mantis stalks the cicada
His Clan's stocks fell again and again. Finally, there was a shortage of funds and a subsidiary company went bankrupt.
This had never happened before in He Clan's history.
The bankruptcy of a company might not be a serious problem for other groups, but for He Clan, it was definitely the most serious problem.
Because this meant that his Clan's funds were starting to run out.
When Lan Shaoyu saw the news of the company's bankruptcy, he finally revealed a satisfied smile and said slowly, "The time is right."
On the other side.
Adam was also surprised.
However, he wasn't surprised by the news of his Clan's company going bankrupt. Instead, he was surprised that Qiao Qiao was able to collect evidence to such an extent.
"Lilith, how did you do it?"
Adam's dark red eyes were filled with shock when he saw the evidence of his crimes.
Qiao Qiao leaned on the table with one hand and supported her cheek with the other. She said, "Because there are helpers. There's strength in numbers."
Don't make such a difficult thing sound so easy!
Adam looked at Qiao Qiao's listless appearance and was puzzled. He asked, "Lilith, things are going so smoothly. Why are you still unhappy?"
Qiao Qiao leaned on the table. She twirled her hair and sighed, "Yue Xin risked her life to betray Lan Shaoyu for An Ziyan. I didn't expect her to do the same. Haha … But I don't know why I'm doing this. Is it because of He Shaochen?"
Before Adam could say anything, Qiao Qiao shook her head and denied it. She ran her fingers through her hair and smiled bitterly. "… Actually, it can't be, right? I'm only doing it for revenge, for myself … How ironic, such a greedy and vain woman can risk her life for love, but I'm doing such a despicable thing … "
Qiao Qiao was already starting to loathe herself.
She didn't know why she had become the kind of person she used to hate the most.
Adam: "…"
He looked at Qiao Qiao and sighed inwardly.
Were all people who were too competitive like this?
In his opinion, everything Qiao Qiao had done was for He Shaochen. What for himself? It was just an excuse to cover up.
She couldn't forgive He Shaochen for hiding the truth from her time and time again, so she had to hide it from him for revenge. She was determined to do it this time. She just wanted to let He Shaochen know that the person who was kept in the dark might not be able to accept the fruits of his labor with a clear conscience.
Treating each other well would only add to each other's pain.
Even the things that Qiao Qiao had always thought were despicable were not too despicable in Adam's eyes.
It was just an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
An Ziyan and Yue Xin were not innocent. Lilith was just returning the pain they had inflicted on her.
Adam felt that Qiao Qiao was still kind.
Because only kind people would reflect on themselves.
A truly evil person would take it for granted to hurt others.
He put his hand gently on her shoulder and said firmly, "Lilith, no matter what you do, I will always be by your side. I will never leave you."
Qiao Qiao looked at Adam gratefully. She took his hand and rubbed it. She said weakly, "Adam, thank you …"
She was really grateful to Adam.
She would never be able to repay everything that Adam had done for her. Even in her next life, or even the next one after that.
Even if she let down the whole world, she would never let down Adam.

Under Lan Shaoyu's step-by-step planning, He Clan was finally at their wit's end.
He Clan's workers went on a rampage. His Clan's businesses suffered an unprecedented blow. Lan Shaoyu watched as He Clan finally collapsed after five years of planning. He could barely suppress the smile on his face.
Everything was progressing smoothly.
"Can you really save An Ziyan?" Yue Xin asked uncertainly.
She squeezed the USB in her hand.
"Of course!"
Qiao Qiao said confidently.
"If you want to save An Ziyan, you need enough bargaining chips. Enough that Lan Shaoyu won't dare to touch them. As long as you have the evidence in your hands, he won't dare to act rashly. An Ziyan will naturally be safe."
With that, Qiaoqiao reached out her hand. "Give me the USB drive."
She said patiently.
Yue Xin squeezed the USB tightly. She seemed to be hesitant because the USB contained direct evidence of Lan Shaoyu's crimes. If this woman in front of her was really He Shaochen's people, Lan Shaoyu would be completely finished.
Then An Ziyan's revenge plan would be ruined.
"We are already grasshoppers on the same boat. Can't we be honest with each other?" Qiao Qiao was not in a hurry and continued to guide her.
Yue Xin's heart was in a mess.
But there was a voice in her head telling her not to give it to her. Definitely not!
Yue Xin's mind was still in a dilemma. In the end, she chose to follow her heart. She frowned and looked at Qiao Qiao. She took a step back and said, "Qiao Qiao, I still can't completely trust you."
Qiao Qiao heard this and sighed. "Senior, I didn't expect you to be such an indecisive person. Based on the deals you made with me before, if Lan Shaoyu finds out, do you think you can escape unscathed? You betrayed him long ago. If you hesitate now, you will only harm An Ziyan. Give me the USB. "
Yue Xin shook her head and continued to step back. "No."
She still felt that something was wrong.
Qiao Qiao saw this and said regretfully, "Is that so? That's too bad. "
As soon as she finished speaking, Adam rushed up, took out a gun, and pressed it against Yue Xin's temple.
Yue Xin did not even have time to react. She looked in shock at Qiao Qiao, who was smiling gently in front of her, and said angrily, "Qiao Qiao, what are you doing?"
Qiao Qiao put her hands behind her back and said with a smile, "Because senior is so disobedient, I can only use some extreme methods. I must get the USB today."
"You are a spy!"
Yue Xin gritted her teeth.
The USB in her hand was taken away by Adam and returned to Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao held the USB and said slowly, "If you insist, I don't intend to deny it. Don't worry, I said that I won't let Lan Shaoyu get rid of An Ziyan. I will keep my word."
Yue Xin was stunned. Then she heard Qiao Qiao say, "I will let him go through the proper legal procedures and govern according to the law. He will probably be sentenced to life imprisonment."
Yue Xin immediately became agitated. "Qiao Qiao, you are despicable!"
"Despicable? You have the nerve to talk to me about despicable?" Qiao Qiao sneered. "Yue Xin, if you didn't attack me first, I wouldn't even look at you. Why didn't you say despicable when you were trying to harm me?"
"An Ziyan loves you!"
Yue Xin roared. "His heart is full of you. Why do you treat him like this? Qiao Qiao, you bitch, you will go to hell! I curse you to die a horrible death. Your two little bitches will also have a bad fate! "
No matter how Yue Xin scolded, Qiao Qiao did not care. But when she scolded the children, her face suddenly darkened.
Before she said anything, Adam took action.
He was just about to pull the trigger when the door was suddenly knocked open and an armed force rushed in.
Then, a well-dressed man in a suit and leather shoes walked over. He had a smile on his face and looked harmless. This person was none other than His Excellency the President of Country A, who was at the peak of his power.
