After breaking up with my boyfriend, I made a fortune and rose rapidly in my career.

Su Ruoxue's mind went blank, completely thrown into chaos.

She couldn't understand how things had turned out this way.

They clearly assigned hotel security guards, so why did the city's Economic Crime Investigation Division suddenly appear?

Moreover, they found the camera incredibly quickly.

The head of the economic crime investigation team walked up to Chen Pingfang and saluted: "Section Chief Chen, we've caught him red-handed."

Chen Ping handed over the camera and his phone together.

"Here is the entire recording of her just now bribing me commercially."

Upon hearing the word "recording," Su Ruoxue's body trembled violently, the color draining from her face instantly, and she collapsed onto the sofa.

It’s over.

It's all over.

"take away!"

Two policemen stepped forward, and the cold handcuffs clicked onto Su Ruoxue's wrists.

The beautiful CEO who was just radiating glamour at the banquet is now disheveled, her makeup is ruined, and she's being carried by two policemen. She looks terrible.

……

Municipal Public Security Bureau, interrogation room.

White walls, glaring lights.

Su Ruoxue sat in the interrogation chair, her hands cuffed, her head bowed, not uttering a single word.

The police officers interrogating her slapped pieces of evidence in front of her.

"Su Ruoxue, this is the hidden camera we found in your room, this is the bank card you used for bribery, and this is the complete recording provided by Comrade Chen Pingfang."

"The evidence is right here, what else do you have to say?"

Su Ruoxue's body trembled slightly, but she still bit her lip and remained silent.

Just then, the interrogation room door opened.

Chen Ping walked in and sat down in the chair opposite her.

He didn't look at Su Ruoxue, but said to himself, "Miss Su, or should I call you Lin Fei?"

Su Ruoxue suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide open, staring intently at Chen Pingfang.

"How...how did you know...?"

This name is her biggest secret, the past she buried deep in her heart.

Chen Ping smiled, his voice not loud, but every word made Su Ruoxue's heart sink.

"I know more than you think."

"The company behind you is called Blue Sky Consulting, right? It's registered overseas and specializes in doing dirty work that can't be seen in the light of day."

Su Ruoxue could no longer bear it.

She knew she had run into someone she couldn't afford to mess with.

"I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything..." she said, her voice trembling with tears, having completely given up resisting. "Blue Sky Consulting hired me. They gave me a large sum of money and told me to do whatever it takes to get the bid for the second phase of the Golden Bay project, and incidentally... incidentally ruin you."

……

Guo Xiaojun barely slept all night.

He took the name Lantian Consulting that Su Ruoxue had given him and used all his connections to investigate it overnight.

As dawn approached, he rushed excitedly into Chen Pingfang's office, sporting dark circles under his eyes.

"Lie it flat, we found it!"

"Although Blue Sky Consulting is registered overseas, a recent large sum of money flowing through their channels is related to one person!"

"Who?" Chen Ping was looking at the documents and didn't even look up.

"A distant nephew of Sun Chuanhong!" Guo Xiaojun lowered his voice, but it trembled with excitement. "This lead points directly to Secretary Sun!"

Chen Ping put down his pen and leaned back in his chair.

Everything went exactly as he expected.

At this moment, the editorial departments of major media outlets in Yunzhou were in a state of utter chaos.

They had all received the news and prepared juicy scoops about young executives having secret meetings with beautiful female CEOs, leaving the pages blank.

As a result, an urgent call came from the Municipal Party Committee's Publicity Department.

All manuscripts have been replaced!

Half an hour later, a new press release was sent to the email addresses of all media outlets.

What was originally a carefully prepared scandal has overnight transformed into a highly praised positive example.

The next day, the front page headline of the Yunzhou Daily was large and red.

"A Young Cadre in Our City, Chen Ping, Shows Off a Shocking Plot of Commercial Espionage!"

The city television station's evening news devoted a significant portion to reporting in detail how Chen Pingfang, through a clever scheme, cooperated with the public security authorities to capture a commercial spy from Beijing, thus saving the country from substantial economic losses.

In the news footage, Chen Pingfang faced the camera and spoke with the same humility.

"I just did what I was supposed to do. It's all thanks to the effective leadership of the municipal party committee and government, especially Secretary Sun, who has always taught us to be vigilant at all times, which has given me this sense of vigilance."

……

Office of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary.

"Snapped!"

A fine Duan inkstone was smashed to pieces on the ground. Ink splattered everywhere.

Sun Chuanhong watched Chen Pingfang's humble yet sincere face on the TV news, and his hands trembled with anger.

His meticulously designed honey trap, this crucial piece he laid out.

In the end, instead of dragging Chen Ping down with him, they actually gave him a huge credit!

Moreover, Chen Ping's words, "Thank you for your guidance, Secretary Sun," were like a resounding slap across his face.

The secretary standing to the side was so frightened that she even held her breath.

"Secretary, what... what do we do now? What about Su Ruoxue...?"

"Break it off," he uttered.

"Notify the Public Security Bureau that this case must be thoroughly investigated and made airtight! No matter who is involved, there will be zero tolerance!"

……

Chen Pingfang did not relax because of this victory.

He knew very well that Sun Chuanhong's counterattack would come soon.

What he needs to do is seize the current opportunity to expand his advantages.

He went directly to Xiao Yuhan.

"Mayor Xiao, this case of commercial espionage has served as a wake-up call for us."

"I suggest that we take this opportunity to conduct a comprehensive special inspection on anti-espionage and confidentiality in key departments and major projects throughout the city."

Xiao Yuhan looked at him and immediately understood.

This isn't a major inspection at all; it's clearly a pretext to investigate the people Sun Chuanhong has planted in various departments.

Sun Chuanhong had placed his own people in many key positions, and they were usually unable to be moved.

Now, with the pretext of preventing espionage and maintaining secrecy, Chen Ping can legitimately investigate them, and as long as he investigates, he will definitely find out the problem.

"Okay." Xiao Yuhan's reply was only one word, but her eyes were full of approval.

She realized that she had underestimated Chen Pingfang.

This young man is not only brave and resourceful, but also possesses a composure and ruthlessness beyond his years.

He seized every opportunity to launch an offensive.

As the two fought side by side, their relationship subtly changed, seemingly becoming more than just superior and subordinate, or ally and colleague.

A few days later, the police called Chen Pingfang and said that Su Ruoxue's case had been basically settled and her personal belongings could be retrieved by her work unit.

Chen Ping went there in person.

Inside a sealed evidence bag were Su Ruoxue's cell phone, wallet, and some cosmetics.

Chen Ping checked each item one by one, and in the inner pocket of the Chanel handbag, he felt a small, hard object.

It is a very small black USB flash drive.

He plugged the USB drive into his computer, and a password input box popped up.

Chen Ping tried several common passwords such as Su Ruoxue's birthday and phone number, but they all failed.

He thought for a moment, then typed in the pinyin of "Lin Fei" along with her birthday.

With a "beep", the USB drive was successfully read.

There was only one file inside, which, when opened, contained an extremely complex chart.

Chen Pingfang's pupils contracted slightly.

This is a diagram showing the underground fund flow of the Jinshuiwan project!

Countless intertwined lines point to dozens of shell companies and personal accounts both domestically and internationally, with funds being laundered through layers of transfers.

Chen Ping followed the thickest line of funds all the way to the end of the chart.

That was an overseas account that had already been closed.

Next to that account was a single-word note.

--division.
