The moment Su Wanwan stepped into the police station, she felt as if she had walked into a completely unfamiliar world. Under the cold incandescent light, the police and suspects coming and going filled the place with a depressing atmosphere. She took a deep breath and forced herself to stay calm.

"I want to see Su Yuntian." Su Wanwan said to the police officer at the front desk, her voice trembling slightly.

The officer looked up at her and asked, "Who are you?"

“I am his daughter, Su Wanwan.”

The officer nodded, picked up the phone on the table and dialed an internal line. After a moment, he put the phone down and said, "Come with me."

Su Wanwan followed the police officer through the long corridor and came to an interrogation room. The police officer opened the door and motioned her to go in.

Su Yuntian was sitting inside, his hands handcuffed to the table. When he saw his daughter coming in, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

"Dad!" Su Wanwan rushed forward and wanted to hug her father, but was stopped by the handcuffs on the table. Her tears immediately welled up.

"Wanwan, don't cry." Su Yuntian said calmly, "Dad is fine."

"What's going on? Why are the police taking you away?" Su Wanwan asked anxiously.

Su Yuntian was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "Wanwan, Dad is sorry for you. The company...the company has a big problem."

"What's the problem?" Su Wanwan asked.

At this moment, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open again. A middle-aged man in a well-dressed suit walked in, followed by several policemen.

"Su Yuntian, the time has come." The middle-aged man said, "What do you think?"

Su Yuntian looked up at the man, then at his daughter, and finally sighed deeply. "Okay, I agree. Let me say a few words to my daughter first."

The man nodded and signaled the police to leave first. When only the father and daughter were left in the room, Su Yuntian spoke:

“Wanwan, listen carefully. The company has gone bankrupt.”

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and Su Wanwan felt dizzy. "What? How is this possible?"

Su Yuntian smiled bitterly and said, "Not only that, the company is also suspected of financial fraud and illegal fundraising. The police have already obtained solid evidence."

"No, this is impossible..." Su Wanwan shook her head, unwilling to believe this cruel fact.

"Wanwan, listen to me." Su Yuntian's voice became urgent, "Time is running out. From now on, you have to be strong. I will take care of the company's affairs, you just need to take care of yourself and your mother. Remember, no matter what happens, don't believe..."

Before he could finish his words, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open. The middle-aged man walked in and said, "It's time."

Su Yuntian took one last look at his daughter, his eyes full of reluctance and apology. Then he was taken away by the police.

Su Wanwan stood there in a daze, her mind was blank. She didn't even notice when the middle-aged man came to her side.

"Ms. Su, I'm prosecutor Li Ming." The middle-aged man said, "I understand how you feel now, but we need your cooperation."

Su Wanwan looked at Li Ming blankly, "I...what should I do?"

Li Ming sighed, "Ms. Su, the seriousness of the matter may be beyond your imagination. I suggest that you hold a press conference immediately to explain the situation to the public. This may help alleviate the pressure of public opinion."

Su Wanwan nodded subconsciously, although she did not fully understand the situation.

It was already early in the morning when she walked out of the police station. However, the entrance of the police station was still surrounded by reporters. Flashes of light flashed one after another, and the dazzling light forced Su Wanwan to squint her eyes.

"Ms. Su, can you give us your opinion on the company's bankruptcy?"

“Is it true that Su Group is suspected of financial fraud?”

"Did your father confess to the crime?"

Facing the overwhelming questions, Su Wanwan felt dizzy. Just then, a hand grabbed her.

"Follow me." It was Huo Yanshen's voice.

Under Huo Yanshen's cover, Su Wanwan successfully escaped from the siege of reporters and got into a black car.

In the car, Zhang Jiaying asked anxiously: "Wanwan, what's wrong?"

Su Wanwan shook her head, her voice choking: "Dad said...the company went bankrupt."

The car fell silent for a moment. After a long while, Huo Yanshen spoke up: "Ms. Su, I suggest you hold a press conference as soon as possible. Public opinion is very unfavorable to you now, and you need to clarify some things as soon as possible."

Su Wanwan looked at Huo Yanshen, her eyes full of confusion: "Why are you helping me?"

Huo Yanshen was silent for a moment. "Business is like a battlefield. Even if your opponent is in trouble, you should still show him the most basic respect. Besides, we are not opponents, right?"

Su Wanwan didn't answer, but just nodded silently.

As the car drove to Su Wanwan's apartment, her father's words kept replaying in her mind. Company bankruptcy, financial fraud, illegal fundraising... these words were like sharp knives, stabbing into her heart.

However, what made her even more uneasy was the unfinished words of her father. "No matter what happens, don't believe..." Don't believe what? Or rather, who should you not believe?

It was already three in the morning when they arrived at the apartment building. Su Wanwan got out of the car tiredly, only to find that many reporters had gathered downstairs.

"How could this happen..." Su Wanwan muttered to herself.

Huo Yanshen frowned, "It seems that the news has spread. Miss Su, what you need most now is rest. Why don't you go to my apartment to avoid the limelight first?"

Su Wanwan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. At this moment, she really didn't have the energy to deal with these reporters.

Arriving at Huo Yanshen's penthouse, Su Wanwan relaxed a little. She sat on the large sofa, looking at the night view of the city outside the window, and suddenly felt an unprecedented loneliness and helplessness.

"Ms. Su," Huo Yanshen handed her a cup of hot tea, "I have arranged for someone to prepare for the press conference. What do you think of tomorrow morning at ten o'clock?"

Su Wanwan nodded mechanically, "Thank you."

Huo Yanshen looked at her haggard appearance and showed a rare sympathy, "Miss Su, you should rest. The bedroom is on the right, call me anytime if you need anything."

After Huo Yanshen left, Su Wanwan finally couldn't help but break down and cry. She remembered the clinking of glasses at the birthday party, the back of her father when he was taken away by the police, and the aggressive reporters...

Everything happened too suddenly and too cruelly.

However, she knew that this was just the beginning. Tomorrow's press conference would be the biggest challenge in her life. She had to admit the bankruptcy of the Su Group in public and face countless sharp questions.
