"You finally came."

This is a complaint, a reproach, and also an expectation.

Mei Ruyan is someone who is very strong-willed and quite decisive. The rumored Mei Ruyan treats men with nothing but indifference or ruthlessness, and indeed, that's the case.

For her to have such expectations of a man is already a success for Lin Tian.

Mei Ruyan had clearly been crying, her eyes were red and swollen. Lin Tian felt a bit distressed and helped Mei Ruyan sit on a chair, trying to slow down his speech as much as possible, saying, "Don't rush, first tell me the whole story, so we can have some clue."

Mei Ruyan sighed, stared empty-eyed at the floor, and started talking: "Actually, after you left, Shishi did nothing but work, even smiled less. I didn't dare to bring you up in front of her, I could only accompany her in working like mad, making Qiansimei run smoothly. Since then, Shishi became even more obsessed with work, she moved directly into the company to live, and I'm here with her."

"She hardly ever goes out, today she just went out to sign an important contract, saying it was to get a celebrity endorsement for Qiansimei. She went out at noon and hasn't returned yet. Later on, there was completely no news."

Lin Tian listened silently, feeling only guilt upon hearing Bai Shishi's recent news. If he hadn't avoided her at that time, she wouldn't have had such a hard time, and today's incident wouldn't have happened.

And Mei Ruyan, how strong a woman she used to be. She must be feeling very oppressed during this time, she wouldn't have sought him out unless there was really no alternative.

Lin Tian shook his head, trying to stay calm, and asked, "Did you ask the party who signed the contract for information?"

Mei Ruyan nodded and said, "I asked, but Shishi didn't even sign the contract with them. She was already missing midway."

"Could this matter be related to that celebrity?"

"I'm not too sure about that. All the matters related to this are handled by Shishi and her team, I haven't followed up."

"Then let's get all the team members together, check them one by one, and investigate that female celebrity too. Now we can't overlook any clues," Lin Tian said urgently.

Mei Ruyan nodded quickly, then made a call and repeated Lin Tian's words.

"Now besides Du Dahai, do we have any other enemies?"

Lin Tian furrowed his brow, recalling Bai Shishi's enemies in his mind. Apart from the deceased Bai Jiaming, it was just Du Dahai left. As for people from Sakula Country, I should've dealt with them first.

"Besides Du Dahai, there's Xiaogang, he has already established his own empire and has connections with Du Dahai." Mei Ruyan thought for a while, and then said, "By the way, we also have business rivals. Because of Shishi's recent efforts, the momentum for Qiansimei is booming, making several companies envious, but due to the Bai Family's influence, they don't dare to make any small moves."

"What did the Bai Family say?"

"The Bai Family has also sent people to search, but there's still no news." Mei Ruyan sighed, feeling lost.

"Ding Ling~"

Suddenly, Mei Ruyan's phone rang. She glanced at it, made a gesture to keep silent, and said, "It's a call from the Bai Family."

Lin Tian nodded, signaling her to answer.

Mei Ruyan answered the call, turned on the speaker, and put it on the table, asking, "Mr. Bai, is there any news about Shishi?"

"No. But I have a very unfortunate piece of news, all our business has been impacted. Right now is the most critical moment for the Bai Family," Bai Tianlong's voice sounded very anxious.

Mei Ruyan's breath noticeably paused, and she urgently asked, "What's going on?"

"Our Bai Family's business is under threat. The group has been exposed to scandals, and the stock has plummeted."

The Bai Family has their enterprises, and they are involved in a wide array. Food, automobiles, entertainment, energy…

In short, anything that makes money, they do it, and some of the food even supplies the military.

The Bai Family is a giant.

In the eyes of the Bai Family, Du Dahai is not on the same level to be a rival, he could only serve as a whetstone for Bai Shishi.

But now this giant faces a threat, a provocation, as if someone made a fatal strike when they were off guard.

The Bai Family's food company was exposed for excessive use of flavoring, using gutter oil, employing hormone-induced poultry.

Even the money-laundering inside the Bai Family has been made public.

Even Xianglong Tea House was exposed for its gambling den.

You must know, Celestial Dragon Continent is a country that bans gambling, putting gambling and drugs together, you can imagine its severity.

The gambling den inside Xianglong Tea House has always been operating secretly, only senior members have access, everything inside is prohibited from filming, yet now everything has been exposed.

Bai Tianlong immediately found professional public relations and lawyers to start dispelling rumors. However, scandals are matters the domestic people are very concerned about, and in just a few minutes, the scandal of the Bai Family covered the entire network.

How many people among the national population have used the Bai Family's products?

According to statistics, it accounts for two-thirds of the national population. So in just a few minutes, the scandals of the Bai Family have topped the hot search. The Bai Family's stock plummeted.

This giant received a fatal threat.

At this moment, all netizens became very unanimous in their stance, they stirred up a one-sided battle on the internet.

Even though they almost do not understand the truth, seeing so many scandals exposed at once, they believe it. Even those who don't believe will criticize beneath the official weibo, just to join in the fun.

Public opinion is the most terrifying weapon, even the Bai Family seems so small in the face of it.

Bai Tianlong, who always seemed unstoppable, appeared to have aged considerably in an instant, speaking with a weak voice.

"Now, immediately pack up all the equipment in the gambling den. The police are likely coming. Also, Qiansimei has been exposed for scandals, if anyone comes to inspect, cooperate with them."

"Moreover, reporters will be eager to interview Shishi, but she is not here now, try to keep them out of the door. Alright, I won't talk anymore, I have a ton of trouble to sort out."

Lin Tian and Mei Ruyan both understood, Bai Shishi's disappearance is just a flashpoint. Their real target is the Bai Family.

The call was hung up, Mei Ruyan's face also turned much paler. She looked at Lin Tian and asked, "What should we do now?"

"We'll do what Bai Tianlong said, the immediate priority is to hide all the equipment in the gambling den. Also, stabilize morale, the company's employees must be on edge now, we must unite everyone! Otherwise, we'll be crushed even before we resist."

Mei Ruyan took a deep breath, stood up from the sofa, and walked outside with Lin Tian.
