The news spread like wildfire throughout the circle, causing a huge stir!
Initially, helping the richest man in Xueguo get back on his feet had already invited ridicule, and the Ye Corporation had also fallen into a trap because of it.
This matter was truly a laughingstock.
And now, due to the Ye Corporation's failed decisions, many media outlets were focusing on Ye Zhiwei.
Upon receiving the news, Ye Zhiwei put on a very convincing act. When facing the media, her face was haggard, appearing utterly exhausted and overwhelmed.
"Everyone, the Ye Corporation's situation is indeed due to our misjudgments, and the Ye Corporation's misfortune is only temporary..."
It was clear that Ye Zhiwei was "burned out" and had no other options.
Seeing her like this, many felt a pang of sympathy. The Ye Corporation was once a massive enterprise, but because of the incident with the richest man in Xueguo, it had been reduced to this state, which was truly heartbreaking.
However, the Ye Corporation's rivals, upon witnessing this scene, felt an immense sense of satisfaction.
Opinions varied wildly for a time.
Amidst such heated discussions, Ye Zhiwei's image in the news was even turned into memes.
The internet was flooded with laments for the Ye Corporation.
And in this atmosphere, Song Qiao had already arrived at the shooting range.
The agreed-upon time with Deng Yihan was now, and upon arriving, he found Deng Yihan and Mo Ling already waiting there.
The two women seemed to have been chatting before he arrived.
Upon seeing Song Qiao approach, the two women exchanged glances. Deng Yihan smiled softly, her eyes twinkling as she looked at Song Qiao.
"I didn't expect you to be so fast. I thought it would take a few days, but you got it done overnight."
Deng Yihan spoke with a relaxed air.
Everything was now on track, with only Li Bingqing left to be ensnared.
Once she was drawn into this game, they would have no chance of turning the tables!
Thinking of this, Deng Yihan felt a surge of excitement.
Mo Ling also nodded gently beside her, acknowledging that Song Qiao's speed was indeed surprising.
However, she wasn't as outwardly expressive as Deng Yihan, offering only a faint smile, her demeanor more reserved.
Song Qiao rubbed his nose, taking in Deng Yihan's appearance. His eyes lingered on her legs clad in black, and he was momentarily dazed before bursting into laughter and teasing.
"Of course. This is something you taught me. I couldn't possibly mess it up."
"Besides, after this is done, I can spend more time admiring you in black stockings."
As he spoke, Song Qiao's lips curved into a slight smile. Luo Zhimeng's expression faltered, and her face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple.
Mo Ling couldn't help but roll her eyes and speak with a hint of exasperation.
"You, stop with the sweet talk. How did this get done so quickly? It's progressing too smoothly, it makes one feel insecure."
Hearing this, Song Qiao coughed twice and said mysteriously.
"Do you think I just started planning this now?"
The two women were taken aback. "What do you mean?"
A sharp glint flashed in Song Qiao's eyes.
"I've been meticulously planning the details for a very long time. Those media reporters laid the groundwork according to the timeline, so this time, it was effortless."
"And not only that, to avoid any flaws, I even went to some hospitals to collect payments."
"Did you see the haggard makeup on me and Ye Zhiwei on the news? That was done by hired makeup artists."
This truly surprised the two women. Their eyes widened in astonishment, their lips slightly parted, rendering them speechless for a long time.
After a prolonged silence, Luo Zhimeng couldn't help but smack her lips and murmur hesitantly.
"This, this is truly a complete act. You even thought of such minor details. You truly live up to your reputation."
As for Mo Ling, after Song Qiao finished speaking, the corners of her mouth curved upwards. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly.
Her gaze remained fixed on Song Qiao, her emotions incredibly complex.
Deng Yihan finished speaking and took out the mine contract she had prepared earlier, handing it to Song Qiao.
"Here, take this. Give it to Li Bingqing."
Song Qiao nodded and accepted the contract. He briefly scanned it, finding no issues with the contents.
Seeing Song Qiao put away the contract, Deng Yihan pondered for a moment and asked again.
"You must be very careful with this matter."
"I know, don't worry."
"Is there anything else you need my help with?"
"No need. The less you're involved, the safer it is. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be difficult to handle."
Shaking his head, Song Qiao directly declined her offer. This was no trifling matter. If anything went awry, the counterattack from the Guo family wouldn't be easy to quell.
"As for Li Bingqing, since she didn't learn her lesson and is making trouble again, I don't mind suppressing her one more time."
As he spoke, Song Qiao's gaze grew slightly colder.
Hearing this, Mo Ling's eyelids drooped slightly, her lips pressed tightly together, her emotions in turmoil.
After a long while, she let out an almost imperceptible sigh.
She had nothing to say about this kind of matter.
Li Bingqing used to have a good relationship with her, but after that incident years ago, they had drifted apart, to the point where they were now strangers.
Besides, Li Bingqing was indeed in the wrong. Even if she wanted to say something, she couldn't.
Song Qiao glanced at Mo Ling, then shook his head. The words he wanted to ask churned in his throat but remained unsaid.
Deng Yihan asked a few more questions, to which Song Qiao replied casually before preparing to leave.
After Song Qiao departed, Mo Ling remained standing in place, silent.
Deng Yihan tugged at Mo Ling's arm. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Let's go back too. It's not good if people see us." After saying this, she paused for a moment, glanced in the direction Song Qiao had left, shook her head, and walked back with Deng Yihan.
After leaving, Song Qiao went directly to Taylor Clinic with the contract.
At this time, Li Bingqing had already escaped danger and was transferred to a regular ward, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Even though it was a regular ward, she was still treated like a VIP, with all kinds of services provided meticulously.
She was alone in the quiet room.
Li Bingqing sighed.
Song Qiao hadn't contacted her for many days...
At this thought, Li Bingqing suddenly froze. After a long while, her expression turned one of intense anger.
"Even now, why am I still thinking about him?"
At the same time, she was cursing herself for being so weak.
If it weren't for Song Qiao, how could she have ended up like this?
How pathetic, to still be unable to forget Song Qiao at a time like this.
"I'm actually thinking about that scoundrel again!"
She cursed herself relentlessly in her heart, gnashing her teeth in anger.
And just then, footsteps were heard from outside, followed by the opening of the door. Song Qiao's face appeared before her.
Seeing Li Bingqing like this, Song Qiao's face broke into a smile as he teased.
"Ms. Li, were you lost in thought? Why are you staring at me like that? Are you missing me?"
