As night fell and the city lights came on, they could not illuminate the haze in Yan Jin's heart. After Lawyer Qian left, Yan Jin rubbed his temples tiredly, trying to find a ray of light in his chaotic thoughts.

"Still not asleep?"

Xiang Yu's low voice sounded behind him. Yan Jin turned around suddenly and saw him standing at the door. His tall figure looked a little lonely in the dim light.

"Why are you here?" Yan Jin's tone was indifferent, without any ripples.

Xiang Yu walked up to her and looked at her haggard face, feeling a sharp pain in his heart. "I came to see you and also want to talk to you."

"What else is there to talk about between us?" Yan Jin laughed at himself, the bitterness in his eyes becoming even stronger.

Xiang Yu held her hand, but she shook it off. "Yan Jin, I know it's my mother's fault this time, but she is my mother after all, I..."

"So you just watched her deal with me and my company?" Yan Jin interrupted him coldly, "Xiang Yu, you keep saying you love me, is this how you love me?"

"It's not like that, let me explain..." Xiang Yu wanted to explain eagerly, but found that any words seemed pale and powerless at this moment.

"No need to explain." Yan Jin turned around, with her back to him, and said in a cold voice, "I have hired a lawyer and will resolve this matter through legal means."

"Yan Jin, do you really want to go this far?" Xiang Yu's voice was filled with a hint of pleading.

"I didn't force you to do that. It was your mother. She was the first to be unkind, so don't blame me for being unjust!"

"I won't let her hurt you, nor will I let her hurt the Yan family." Xiang Yu said firmly, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes. "I will fight her to the end, and I will help you take back everything that belongs to you."

Yan Jin didn't say anything, just looked out the window quietly. The night was dark, as if foreshadowing that a storm was about to come.

"This is a plan that Lawyer Qian and I have drawn up. Take a look at it first." Xiang Yu put a document on the table.

Yan Jin took the document and scanned the contents, his expression gradually becoming serious. This plan detailed the steps to fight back against Xiang's mother, from the cleanup within the company to the response to legal proceedings, and each step was carefully calculated.

"The first step is to solve the problems within the company." Xiang Yu pointed at the contents of the document, "My mother has planted a lot of spies in the company. These people are our biggest hidden danger."

"I have asked Manager Wu to start investigating." Yan Jin said in a deep voice, "I believe there will be results soon."

Xiang Yu nodded, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. "Okay, let's split up and take the initiative into our own hands."

Outside the window, the night deepened, but Yan Jin's heart gradually calmed down, as if she saw a ray of light in the darkness. She knew that this battle had just begun, but no matter what, she would not retreat again.

"Manager Wu," Yan Jin called, "You need to pay extra attention to the people on the list recently..."

The darkness before dawn is always exceptionally quiet, yet undercurrents are surging.

After receiving Yan Jin's call, Manager Wu immediately began a secret investigation. He knew that the matter was of great importance and dared not slack off. He secretly observed several people on the list. These people seemed honest and responsible on weekdays, but they were exposed in some details. For example, they would secretly call unfamiliar numbers after get off work, or spread some rumors that were unfavorable to Yan Jin within the company.

Manager Wu recorded all these findings one by one, compiled them into a detailed report, and secretly handed it to Yan Jin. Yan Jin carefully read the report, his eyes sharp, like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed.

"Very good, Manager Wu, you did a great job." Yan Jin's tone was calm, but it carried an unquestionable strength. "Continue to investigate this matter secretly, and report to me if you find anything."

"Yes, Mr. Yan." Manager Wu answered respectfully. He knew that a storm was about to come.

A few days later, the company held a high-level management meeting. The atmosphere in the meeting room was solemn, and everyone looked serious, as if they had a premonition that something big was going to happen.

Yan Jin sat at the main seat at the conference table. She was wearing a black business suit and her hair was tied up high, making her look very capable. She glanced at everyone present and finally stopped at the marketing manager sitting in the corner.

"The reason I called everyone to this meeting today is mainly to solve some problems that have arisen in the company recently." Yan Jin's tone was calm, but with a sense of authority that could not be ignored. "I believe that everyone has heard some rumors about me recently. These rumors are completely unfounded and are purely malicious rumors."

Yan Jin paused, then continued, "I have investigated, and the source of these rumors comes from within our company."

There was an uproar in the conference room, and everyone looked at each other and whispered.

Yan Jin ignored everyone's reactions and continued, "I know who is behind this and who is behind it. I am here to tell you clearly today that I will not let go of anyone who hurts me or the company."

"I have obtained sufficient evidence and will take legal action to protect my rights." Yan Jin said firmly, his eyes were sharp, "I advise those who are still helping the evildoers to take care of themselves!"

After saying that, Yan Jin stood up and left the meeting room. The meeting room was dead silent, and you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was pale and dared not breathe. They knew that Yan Jin was really angry this time.

Far away in the Xiang family's villa, Xiang's mother was leisurely enjoying afternoon tea. Suddenly, she received a call, and a hurried voice came from the other end of the phone: "Madam, it's bad, something happened..." "Why panic! I'll hold up the sky even if it collapses!" Although Xiang's mother spoke calmly, she suddenly put down the teacup in her hand, and the tea splashed on the valuable wool carpet without noticing.

"That bitch Yan Jin actually dared to go against me!" Mother Xiang gritted her teeth, the anger in her eyes almost burning everything in front of her, "I want to see what she has the ability to fight me!"

"Madam, please don't get angry. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt." Mrs. Zhou chimed in, "In my opinion, Yan Jin is just bluffing. How can a woman like her cause such a big stir?"

"That being said, we can't take it lightly." Xiang's mother frowned, with a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes. "Go contact those old guys in the company and tell them that I'll treat them to a meal some other day so we can have a good chat."

Mrs. Zhou understood what she meant and immediately responded, "I understand. I'll arrange it right away." She knew very well that the "chat" that Xiang's mother mentioned was far more than just having a meal.

A few days later, in a high-end private club, people were drinking and chatting. Mother Xiang, wearing a graceful and luxurious dress, sat in the main seat with a hypocritical smile on her face. Around her sat several company veterans, who were all the backbone of the Xiang Group and had a significant influence in the company.

"Uncles, I invited you all here today because I want to ask you some advice." Mother Xiang raised her glass, her tone humble but sharp, "Some things happened in the company recently, and as an elder, I really can't stand it, so I want to ask all uncles to give me some advice for the company, the Xiang family, and my useless son."

After a few drinks, how could these old foxes not know what Xiang Mu was up to? They were all smart people, so they naturally knew how to choose the best option for themselves.

"Ma'am, you're too polite. The company's affairs are our affairs. Just tell us if you have any instructions and we will do our best." One of the gray-haired old men was the first to speak out, followed by others.

"Okay! I feel relieved with what you said." Mother Xiang smiled with satisfaction. She raised her glass and toasted everyone again. "Come on, let's drink this glass of wine and wish the Xiang Group to prosper!"

The sound of wine glasses clinking is crisp and pleasant, but it cannot cover up the conspiracy in the air. A conspiracy against Yan Jin is quietly unfolding...

At this time, Xiang Yu also learned what his mother had done. He rushed to his mother's residence angrily and kicked the door open, "Mom! What on earth do you want to do?!"

Xiang Yu's roar echoed in the empty living room, but Xiang's mother was not moved at all. She slowly put down the teacup and looked up at her son with disdain and ridicule in her eyes: "Why? Are you heartbroken? I tell you, Xiang Yu, as long as I am alive, I will never let that woman have an easy life!"

"Why can't you just let her go?!" The veins on Xiang Yu's forehead popped up. He knew his mother was always strong, but he didn't expect her to be so unscrupulous. "We're already divorced, what else do you want?!"

"Divorce?" Xiang's mother sneered, "It is written in black and white on the divorce agreement that as long as I don't agree, your marriage will remain valid! Do you think you can really get rid of me?"

"You..." Xiang Yu was choked with anger, but he had no words to say. He knew that with his mother's influence in the company, it would not be difficult to prevent him and Yan Jin from breaking up completely.

"Listen to me," Xiang's mother stood up suddenly, approached Xiang Yu, and said in a cold tone, "Yan Jin is a scheming and ambitious woman. She is close to you only for the Xiang family's property and status! If you still recognize me as your mother, stay away from her!"

Xiang Yu pursed his lips tightly and said nothing. He certainly knew that Yan Jin was not the kind of person his mother described him to be. He had seen how much effort Yan Jin had put into the company over the years. The funny thing was that his mother was blinded by prejudice and would rather believe those unfounded rumors than her own son.

On the other side, Yan Jin was also preparing for the coming storm. She locked herself in her office, with her desk piled with various documents and reports. Lawyer Qian sat opposite her, saying something with a serious expression.

"Manager Wu, please check these documents again to make sure they are correct." Yan Jin rubbed his brows, his tone tired but firm, "Tomorrow is the shareholders' meeting, we can't have any mistakes."

"Boss Yan, don't worry, I've checked it all, there won't be any problems." Manager Wu said firmly, with trust and admiration in his eyes. During this period of time, Yan Jin's strength and courage have deeply shocked everyone in the company.

"Okay." Yan Jin nodded, took a deep breath, and looked out the window. As night fell, the city lights came on, but they could not illuminate the haze in her heart. But she knew that the darkness before dawn was often the most difficult to endure. As long as she survived this, she would be greeted by a brand new future.

On the eve of the counterattack, although Yan Jin and Xiang Yu faced tremendous pressure and obstacles from Xiang's mother, they did not give up, but chose to work together to fight the storm. Their eyes were full of determination and determination, indicating that a wonderful counterattack was about to take place.
