After I stopped trying, a rich woman trained me into a demon emperor.

Fatty Wang gave a thumbs up.

"I'm familiar with this."

The meeting should have ended here.

But Chen Ya did not close the file.

She then took out a letter with gold foil lettering, the cover of which was entirely in a foreign language and stamped with the seals of more than a dozen institutions at the bottom.

Chen Ya projected the contents of the letter onto the screen.

"Just received it."

Everyone looked over.

A joint letter was issued by Sheng Hui's overseas board of directors, the Global Medical Alliance, seven multinational pharmaceutical companies, four medical funds, and two investment banks.

They demanded that Xia Guo immediately return Sheng Hui Asia's assets.

They demanded the release of the detained executives.

They are demanding compensation for the damage to the Santa Maria.

They demanded an end to the so-called "illegal trial."

Otherwise, global sanctions will be imposed on Jiang Cheng, the Xiao family, Chen Ya herself, and related companies.

Fatty Wang leaned over to take a look, forgetting to chew the bun in his mouth.

"These bastards, didn't they watch the live stream?"

Chen Ya said, "They saw it."

"How dare you?"

"So they're obviously here to rob us." Chen Ya turned to the last page and pointed to the terms and conditions.

Zhou Ran tapped his knuckles lightly on the table, making a soft sound.

"The assets of Sheng Hui Asia have been filed as evidence of wrongdoing."

Chen Ya pushed up her glasses, the lenses reflecting the light from the data on the screen.

Their argument is that evidence is evidence, but assets belong to the shareholders.

"They think we only know how to use our hands and don't understand business rules."

Fatty Wang almost burst out laughing.

"They really picked the right person; they ran right into President Chen's line of fire."

Chen Ya didn't laugh; she opened the sanctions list.

Her name is on the first page, the first line.

Chen Ya.

The names in Chinese and English, identity information, and shareholding structure are all listed clearly.

A line of red notes followed:

[The main perpetrator of the illegal appropriation. It is recommended to prioritize freezing their global accounts and business permissions.]

The noise from the equipment running in the lobby seemed to have subsided somewhat.

Zhou Ran looked up at the screen.

"They put you first in their list?"

Chen Ya closed the file and responded with a sound of agreement.

"Um."

Xu Youwei frowned.

"They want to cripple Jiangcheng's finances first."

Lin Qingxue continued, "It's also the central command."

Fatty Wang stroked his chin and muttered, "President Chen, your treatment is much better than mine. I'm not even on the sanctions list."

Chen Ya glanced at him.

"You're on the wanted list."

Fatty Wang immediately fell silent.

Zhou Ran stood up.

"I'll go and bring back the person who sent the letter."

Chen Ya raised her hand to block him.

"No."

Zhou Ran looked at her.

Chen Ya took off her glasses and slowly wiped the lenses with a soft cloth. When she put them back on, only a cold, sharp edge remained in her eyes behind the lenses.

"I'll do it this time."

Zhou Ran didn't insist any further.

Chen Ya opened a new file with the title:

[Shenghui Asia Asset Liquidation and Victim Compensation Trust Plan]

She said, word by word:

"They say I misappropriated assets, so I'll hold a global hearing and let everyone see who these assets really belong to."

Zhou Ran stared at her for a long time, then nodded.

"What do you need me to do?"

Chen Ya looked at him.

"Sit behind me."

Fatty Wang slammed his hand on the table, suddenly realizing what was going on.

"Got it! Mr. Chen, you use words; bro, you use force—a two-pronged approach!"

Chen Ya's gaze swept over him.

"You're in charge of shutting up."

"Okay."

On the screen, the sending time of the overseas lawyer's letter is still ticking, and a supplementary statement has arrived with an even more glaring title.

The global medical alliance will initiate joint sanctions proceedings in 12 hours.

Chen Ya looked at the line of text, her lips pressed into a straight line.

"Twelve hours?"

She turned off the projector.

"Too slow."

"Inform them that I will be in court in six hours."

Six hours later, the global online hearing began.

The location was the main control hall of the Xiao family manor.

Chen Ya sat in the main seat, with three huge screens behind her.

The left screen displays a diagram of Sheng Hui Asia's asset structure.

The middle screen contains the list of victims of human experimentation.

The right screen displays a real-time data stream after the White Tower medical system was replaced.

Zhou Ran sat half a step behind her, the Taihuang Black Blade lying across his lap and the White Bone Pen hanging at his shoulder.

He remained silent, but the moment the live stream started, the voices of all the overseas legal teams seemed to fall short.

Wang Pangzi stood in the corner and nudged Qin San with his elbow: "Brother, with this look, you're exactly like President Chen's personal legal henchman."

Qin San uttered two words: "Shut up."

"Why are you copying President Chen?"

"Because it's useful."

The online meeting channel has more than 300 participating parties.

Representatives from Sheng Hui's overseas board of directors, global medical alliances, multinational pharmaceutical companies, investment banks, charitable foundations, and numerous media outlets were also present.

On the overseas main channel, a blond lawyer was the first to launch an attack.

"Ms. Chen Ya, you are currently illegally appropriating assets in the Asian region of Sheng Hui, freezing shareholder rights, seizing a legitimate medical ship, and interfering with international medical relief efforts."

He adjusted his glasses.

"We demand that you immediately cease your infringing activities."

Chen Ya looked at him.

"Are you done talking?"

The blond lawyer frowned.

"You should respond to the accusations first."

Chen Ya opened the first document and displayed it directly on the main screen.

"I respond."

A series of financial transaction records appeared on the screen.

[Shenghui Children's Rare Disease Charity Foundation]

Expenditure item: Cross-border relief.

Actual destination: Purchase, transfer, numbering, and microchip implantation for children with special physical conditions.

Chen Ya spoke, and her voice was transmitted globally through the equipment.

"The first transaction was made on May 12, three years ago, for $7.2 million."

Nominal purpose: Assistance with pediatric heart transplants. Actual purpose: To purchase seven children with special physical conditions.

Two of them died, three were sent to the Santa Maria, and the whereabouts of the remaining two are unknown.

Someone in the channel immediately interrupted.

"Objection! This evidence is illegally obtained!"

Chen Ya ignored him and clicked on the second stroke.

"The second transaction, on June 20th three years ago, amounted to 11 million US dollars."

Nominal purpose: Medical aid in the southeastern coastal region. Actual purpose: Payment to the human resources agency "Black Gull".

The purchase targets were twelve minors.

With a swipe of her finger, twelve youthful photos appeared, each accompanied by a name, age, home address, and last known location.

The live stream chat was instantly flooded with comments.

The blond lawyer looked rather grim.

"Ms. Chen Ya, you are violating the privacy of a protected individual!"

Chen Ya looked at him.

"Their families have authorized me to publish this information."

The screen switched, and twelve authorization letters appeared, each with a family member's handwritten signature at the bottom.

Chen Ya's voice was completely flat.

"Shenghui uses charitable funds to buy people, and I use Shenghui's money to compensate people. You're telling me this is embezzlement?"

There was a brief silence on the other side.

A middle-aged man took over the conversation; he was a representative of Oran Capital, and his tone was calm and steady.

"Ms. Chen, we do not comment on the illegal actions of individual members of the management team."

However, asset ownership must be based on the shareholding structure; you have no right to unilaterally establish a compensation pool.
