Chapter 121: Seeking Help

And Li Lin pointed outside and shouted in horror: "Look, everyone."

Everyone looked in the direction of her gaze, only to see the night sky in the direction of Miao Street dyed blood-red by the raging fire.

Lin Yu frowned, his fists clenched involuntarily; faced with this sudden fire, he felt powerless and worried, only praying that there would be no casualties.

Li Lin looked at Lin Yu worriedly and asked softly: "Brother Lin, what should we do now?"

Lin Yu took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and responded calmly: "Go back and take a look."

At this time, Zhang Yuru added with a hint of self-reproach, "I'll go too."

Just like that, the four people took two cars and followed the police cars to Miao Street.

Upon arriving at the scene, they were deeply shocked by the scene before them: although the fire was raging and some houses were destroyed, the seven key irremovable locations mentioned by Heavenly Master Zhang Song were completely intact.

What was even more surprising was that what was actually on fire were more than a dozen sanitation sprinkler trucks and several courtyards at the west end of Miao Street.

Just at that moment, a burst of explosions came, and the huge fireball instantly illuminated the night sky of Huacheng.

Witnessing all this, Lin Yu and the others couldn't help but be shocked by the ruthlessness of the mastermind behind the scenes.

The residents of Miao Street walked out of their homes one after another, looking at this scene in fear.

Fortunately, those courtyards at the west end that had been uninhabited for years had been sold a few years ago and had been unoccupied.

"It's fortunate that it was discovered in time, otherwise the whole Miao Street would have suffered," someone sighed, "This is the City God manifesting to protect us."

The firefighters who arrived urgently and more than a dozen fire trucks quickly controlled the fire and found a large amount of gasoline in the sewer.

To prevent a greater disaster, the firefighters immediately injected a large amount of water into the underground pipes for dilution.

After witnessing all this, Wang Suya turned to Zhang Yuru and said: "Look, for the sake of profit, these people will do anything."

In the night wind, Zhang Yuru hugged herself tightly, her voice trembling as she requested: "Lawyer Wang, please take me home, okay?"

Without saying much, Wang Suya silently opened the car door for Zhang Yuru, and the two drove away immediately.

However, Zhang Yuru did not return to the luxury villa occupied by her family in the city center, but chose a property next to the Zhang Group headquarters building.

That was something she had purchased in her senior year of college, and Lin Yu's name was written on the property certificate.

In recent years, this had become a place where Zhang Yuru sought inner peace.

Wang Suya accompanied Zhang Yuru upstairs and only left after confirming that she was settled in.

Looking out from the balcony of this apartment, one could take in the scenery of Miao Street.

Zhang Yuru stood on the balcony, trying to dial Feng Yuanyuan's phone number.

This time she changed to a new number, and it did get through, but no one answered.

It turned out that at this time, Feng Yuanyuan was snuggled in Han Fa's arms, and the two were laughing and looking in the direction of Miao Street.

Han Fa declared confidently: "Tomorrow, we will definitely be able to take down all the land in Miao Street."

Hearing this, Feng Yuanyuan turned her back to the huge floor-to-ceiling window and kissed Han Fa affectionately.

"All these achievements are thanks to you; how do you want me to reward you today?" she said as she unbuttoned Han Fa's shirt.

Just as the two were affectionate, the phone on the table rang, but they were completely immersed in each other and ignored the incoming call.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yuru began to suspect that Feng Yuanyuan might have betrayed her.

Just at this moment, the sound of a key opening the door came from outside; Zhang Yuru turned her head alertly and saw a familiar figure.

"I knew you would come here." Lin Yu appeared at the door with a lunch box, a cigarette that hadn't been lit in his mouth, appearing and disappearing in the dim room.

"What are you doing here?" Zhang Yuru questioned unhappily.

Lin Yu placed the lunch box on the table, "Lean meat porridge with preserved egg and small pickles; they are all your favorites."

This sentence made Zhang Yuru burst into tears; she used to be most annoyed by Lin Yu delivering meals to her, but now she felt an indescribable bitterness.

Despite this, she still stubbornly said: "None of your business."

"I seem to have never interfered with your choices; no matter what you do, I support you." After Lin Yu finished speaking, he moved away from the doorway, and Yang Yuhua and two security officers followed.

Zhang Yuru looked at them in surprise as they walked into the room and angrily questioned Lin Yu why he did this.

Lin Yu remained silent and sat on the sofa; while Yang Yuhua explained that they were here to help Zhang Yuru clear her name.

Faced with the sudden change, Zhang Yuru was shocked, but still insisted that the company's operations were normal and there was no misappropriation of public funds.

However, Yang Yuhua revealed a shocking piece of news: just a few hours ago, the new President of the Zhang Group, Feng Yuanyuan, submitted a large amount of illegal evidence; how could she explain this?

"Slap!" The documents fell heavily on the table, and Zhang Yuru was stunned.

At 2:00 AM, the legal and data departments should have been off work long ago; how could the materials be prepared so quickly?

Clearly, all of this had been premeditated.

Zhang Yuru swayed her body, unable to believe that Feng Yuanyuan would actually kick her while she was down.

However, what Yang Yuhua said next shocked her completely.

"A second fire occurred at the Miao Street fire scene, and we caught several arsonists. They quickly confessed the mastermind behind the scenes, Han Fa."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuru's heart sank.

Han Fa was Feng Yuanyuan's fiancé, and the cooperation between the Zhang Group and Hanfang Pharmaceutical, as well as the fire in Miao Street, all clues seemed to point to an unknown conspiracy.

Yang Yuhua continued, "According to our investigation, for the past two years, you have been more like a signing machine; the real decision-maker is Feng Yuanyuan."

Faced with such facts, Zhang Yuru chose to remain silent.

She recalled the past two years and even her divorce from Lin Yu was following Feng Yuanyuan's advice.

Yang Yuhua said seriously, "According to the current evidence, the situation is very unfavorable for you. But considering your special status, we don't want to handle this as an ordinary case. My suggestion is for you to plead guilty and exchange the remaining 20% of shares for your freedom."

Zhang Yuru retorted excitedly: "I will never hand over the shares; the Zhang Clan is like my child; no mother is willing to abandon her child."

Seeing Zhang Yuru so determined, Yang Yuhua turned to Lin Yu for help.

At this time, a knock on the door sounded, and Qin Yan walked in.

"It seems you can't convince her; let me say it." Qin Yan walked into the room confidently, "Before investing, our Qinling Group had already made all preparations. Especially if Zhang Zong is forced to leave the Zhang Clan, how should we respond."

As she spoke, Qin Yan took out a contract, "This contract clearly stipulates that if Zhang Zong is unable to manage the company due to force majeure or illegal activities, all the shares she holds will be managed by the Qinling Group for five years."

It turned out that when investing, Qin Yan had already laid this move.

Now, Zhang Yuru realized that she, the founder of the Zhang Clan, had truly become a sacrifice in the game. ===== CHAPTER 122 =====
