Wei Yumeng searched everywhere she could see, but found no trace of Zhan Yangyi.
However, she knew instinctively that those people wouldn't easily reveal their whereabouts during a meeting. But was Zhan Yangyi really with them now?
Zhan Yangyi successfully infiltrated Jiang Han's luxurious private room. The moment he entered, he switched on his recording pen.
"Our plan this time was very successful. As expected, the media's attention has once again turned to Zhan Group," said Jiang Han. "We were all previously suppressed by Zhan Group. Now is our best opportunity. We just need to continue spreading this current incident, and Zhan Mohan will definitely be sued again. At that time, no one will be able to help him."
But then, a slightly older-looking man expressed doubt.
"Mr. Jiang, do you really think these rumors alone can bring down Zhan Group?"
Jiang Han replied, "You should all know about what happened before. Zhan Mohan was arrested and detained because of this project, which is enough to show the project's importance. We can only defeat him by utilizing this project."
Hearing this, Zhan Yangyi couldn't help but sneer inwardly. He seemed to understand now why these people couldn't compete with Zhan Group; their thinking was too wishful.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm actually more concerned about our current situation. We all know that this is just a rumor we spread, and we don't even know if it's true. If Zhan Group finds out about us, our illegal activities won't be a minor offense."
After this person spoke, many others also expressed their worries.
Jiang Han stood up and gestured for everyone to quiet down. "You can rest assured about this. Although I fed information to the media, they might not know it was me, and I'm confident they won't be able to uncover my identity."
Despite his words, many still looked skeptical.
At this point, Zhan Yangyi had basically obtained what he needed. The recording was the best evidence.
But just then, a waiter suddenly noticed him.
"How come I've never seen you before? Are you new?"
This question undoubtedly drew the attention of the old foxes, and the meeting instantly came to a halt. They all looked at Zhan Yangyi.
However, Zhan Yangyi remained calm. He simply said to the waiter, "I am indeed new. I applied for this job just two days ago, so we might not be familiar with each other yet."
Although the inquiring waiter didn't say anything further, Jiang Han had already taken notice of Zhan Yangyi.
After the meeting ended, Zhan Yangyi breathed a sigh of relief. The whole affair seemed to have gone rather smoothly.
But it was *too* smooth, which gave Zhan Yangyi a bad premonition.
Wei Yumeng sat in the hotel lobby, having ordered some food. She was puzzled as to where Zhan Yangyi had gone, and why he wasn't answering his phone.
Just then, a waiter approached her.
"Miss Wei, this is your order."
Wei Yumeng was slightly taken aback. All her ordered food had already been served, and that voice…
She looked up and, indeed, it was Zhan Yangyi.
Zhan Yangyi made a shushing gesture to her. Wei Yumeng immediately understood, said nothing, and nodded, accepting the food.
Underneath the plate, a small recording pen was placed.
Wei Yumeng then realized that Zhan Yangyi had already retrieved it. She secretly hid the item, finished her meal, and then pretended as if nothing had happened before leaving.
But at that moment, she overheard other waiters talking.
"It's really strange. We didn't even realize a stranger had infiltrated."
"But luckily, Mr. Jiang didn't find anything suspicious on him."
"Even though he found nothing, looking at him now, I don't know if he'll survive."
Wei Yumeng was stunned. Were they talking about Zhan Yangyi? No wonder Zhan Yangyi had given her the item beforehand.
Suddenly, Wei Yumeng felt the recording pen become incredibly heavy.
"Um, where is the person you were just talking about?"
The two waiters, seeing that Wei Yumeng was a beautiful woman, didn't think much of it. "He was thrown out the back door."
Wei Yumeng rushed towards the hotel's back door, silently praying that Zhan Yangyi would be alright.
Finally, she saw Zhan Yangyi leaning against the wall. He had completely lost consciousness, and the injuries on his body were enough to indicate how brutally he had been treated.
"Brother! Wake up quickly!" Wei Yumeng was frantic.
But Zhan Yangyi showed no reaction. Wei Yumeng had no choice but to quickly call for emergency services, and then inform Zhan Mohan of the situation.
When Zhan Yangyi awoke, he was in the hospital, with Wei Yumeng and Zhan Mohan by his side.
Seeing Zhan Yangyi awake, Wei Yumeng immediately leaned closer. "Brother, how are you feeling? Do you have any discomfort anywhere?"
Zhan Yangyi smiled, but his weak smile made him look even more pitiful.
"My greatest fortune is being alive right now."
Hearing this, Zhan Mohan couldn't help but frown. "Don't do such dangerous things in the future. Our Zhan family has plenty of means."
"But your brother finally had a chance to be useful to me. How could I disappoint you?"
Zhan Mohan stared at Zhan Yangyi for a long time, unable to speak. He had never imagined that Zhan Yangyi valued him so much.
Wei Yumeng, however, felt happy for them. Didn't this mean that Zhan Mohan and Zhan Yangyi's relationship had improved? Although there had been many unpleasant incidents before, at least it wasn't too late.
"By the way, how was the matter handled?" Zhan Yangyi asked.
Zhan Mohan said calmly, "I've already handed the recording pen to the police. As for the aftermath, I've made arrangements. Since Jiang Han thought his company was destroyed by my hand last time, this time I don't mind making that charge stick."
Jiang Han didn't even know what had happened. The companies that had partnered with him began to terminate their cooperation one after another. But he simply thought those people were incompetent and couldn't be with someone like him.
And this was just the beginning.
Soon, his newly established company was exposed for illegal activities and was subjected to a serious investigation by the police. His assets were all frozen. This attempt to rise again was completely over.
Zhan Yangyi felt that such a resolution was somewhat lenient, considering the significant harm he had suffered. But for the sake of Zhan Mohan and Wei Yumeng, he decided to let Jiang Han off the hook.
