at this moment, despite being angry and anxious in her heart, she couldn't speak for a while.Lin Meng took a deep breath and continued to question."All of this is witnessed by everyone. If you want to...Immediately, she picked up her phone and called Rong Ling, who was at work at the company.

Before he spoke, a smile spread across his face.

"Good boy..."

I am in a good mood because when I think of her sweet appearance, my heart feels light and at ease. Besides, she rarely calls him during his work hours.

She was a little excited, "Are you busy!"

He felt it, capped his pen and replied, "Not busy."

"Let me show you something good, I'll send it to your email."

Quickly, she forwarded the emails in her hands.

"Look, these could actually be useful!"

Rong Lingyi downloaded the attachment and opened it to take a look. She thought it was pretty interesting.

"That's pretty cool, where did you get it!"

"I don't know," she chuckled softly. "I don't know this person either, and I have no idea how he got my email address. But, Rong Ling, my wife is lucky, isn't she!"

She was excited like a little girl asking for candy.

He smiled so brightly. “Good girl, I’ll reward you tonight!”

Her face flushed, a sweet feeling blooming in her heart. She hummed softly, not even bothering to think about what kind of reward it might be. Instead, she chirped and chattered like a little bird, excitedly asking him what he planned to do next.

If these materials were to be truly useful, they would have to be investigated. Rong Ling immediately assigned this task to his subordinates while simultaneously quickly constructing a plan in his mind. Because the investigation was being conducted domestically and among acquaintances, and because the mysterious person's message was very accurate, detailing the names, addresses, and timelines of all individuals involved, the investigation proved to be incredibly convenient. The handwriting of this individual clearly indicated that they were an expert. With Chen Zhi, the electronic prodigy, assisting him, Rong Ling finally unmasked the enigmatic figure who possessed a deep understanding of disguise.

That mysterious person, after all, is still an acquaintance!

Previously, He Ya wanted to smear Lin Meng and gather information about what happened in City J that year. So she entrusted this matter to a detective surnamed Su. (..tw no pop-up ads) Su was quite meticulous, but his abilities were ultimately dwarfed by Rong Ling. All the hard work he put in ended up being completely absorbed by Rong Ling, who had been patiently waiting in the wings. As a result, He Ya angrily denounced Su for incompetence and refused to pay him a single penny. Driven by resentment, she even set a few traps for Su, making things difficult for him.Su already suspected that He Ya was unwilling to pay, so he secretly stole her files. Later, he was repeatedly targeted with assassination attempts. Filled with hatred, he blamed He Ya completely.

Su was a person with some temper. He didn't think it was reasonable to be manipulated by such a young and inexperienced woman. Therefore, He Ya became a thorn in his side, a constant irritation he couldn't stand. This desire to "remove the thorn" was actually a desire for revenge. So, Su secretly started investigating He Ya, hoping to find a way to strike back someday.

Now that the He family is in trouble, he has gathered enough information. Therefore, it's the best opportunity to strike. However, this man is smart and doesn't want to be the one to take the lead, fearing the wrath of He Ya, that little girl. After all, the He family, even though they are down on their luck, are still bigger than a horse. So, he needs a powerful hand to help him with this matter. That's why Lin Meng became his best choice. After his own investigation, he knows exactly about the entanglement between Lin Meng and He Ya. Moreover, Lin Meng is now high-ranking and has the powerful support of the Ruan family, her husband being someone like Rong Ling. For a small figure like He Ya, it's more than enough to handle.

So, he went to some lengths, hiding himself and sending the email to Lin Meng. He really did her a big favor!

That's essentially what karma is all about!

It's not that it won't happen, it just hasn't arrived yet!

He Ya probably wouldn't believe it even if she was killed. She had only done a few things back then, but in the end, she ended up being retaliated against by Su, who she thought was just a small character.

Rong Ling could roughly guess Su Mo's thoughts. The guy had suffered a setback before, and this time he was being sensible by proactively submitting this information and stating that he wouldn't take a penny. Rong Ling readily agreed to his wishes. Although Su Mo's purpose wasn't entirely pure—he was looking for a powerful patron and a scapegoat—Rong Ling had also tricked him in the past, so it evened out!

Having confirmed all of this, Rongling made some moves and started to stir up trouble!

Suddenly, an unknown oil painter appeared before the public with a masterpiece titled "Plum Blossom." From local newspapers to major media outlets, everyone was reporting on his meteoric rise. He quickly ascended to become a rising star in the oil painting world.

The oil painting “Plum Blossom”, with its bold and alluring style that quickly gained international recognition, sparked a heated debate. “Plum Blossom” depicts a nearly nude young woman sprawled languidly on a white canvas. Her figure is curvaceous, resembling an ideal physique. Her full breasts, serpentine waist, and elongated legs are enough to excite any man; she's truly the dream girl of many. Although her face is veiled with a gauze curtain, the silk-like material cannot fully conceal her features. Her cheeks, tinted a delicate peach color, and her bright red lips, hidden behind the veil, incite a desire to experience her tenderness. Her languidly beautiful eyes, visible from outside the veil, gleam with love and radiate an air of extravagant sensuality, as if they have been carefully cultivated and bloomed magnificently. The most ingenious detail is the use of plum blossoms to cover the woman's lower body. Dark brown plum branches adorned with red dots—some in full bloom, others tightly closed—create a unique and striking beauty. The plum blossoms adorn her white abdomen, jade-like thighs, and even partially fall between her legs, creating a powerful visual impact that inevitably leads some to think impure thoughts.

Although the painter explained to the public that the painting was named "Plum Blossom" to highlight a woman's beauty, goodness, purity, and steadfastness, just like plum blossoms, such a work of art, while beautiful, truly tested the conservatism of some people in the country. Therefore, the controversy surrounding the painting grew increasingly larger. At a banquet, the artist, seemingly intoxicated, blurted out that the woman depicted in the painting had been his lover. The few streaks of red in the plum blossom, he claimed, were the blood of her virginity. It was under this passion that he began to paint, giving birth to this masterpiece. This further fueled public discussion about "Plum Blossom."

Voices of criticism and praise were growing louder. Regardless, the value of this painting soared as a result, and the painter became somewhat famous. But at the same time, curiosity about the woman in the painting also surged. Since it was a product of "passion," it stood to reason that the woman in the painting must have been based on a real person.

Under the scrutiny of the public, a woman who had been controversial from the start emerged from the water's surface—He Ya!

Oh, so He Ya is the painter's younger sister Back when she entered university, the painter was assigned as her direct older brother by the academy to guide her. Unexpectedly, this older brother was really enthusiastic and guided her all the way, but ended up guiding his younger sister onto the bed. After all, those who engage in art are known for being unrestrained, especially those specializing in figure painting, who have seen all sorts of human models. It's hard to say who fell for whom or who hooked whom first.

When a reporter asked the painter if the woman in the painting was He Ya, the painter remained evasive. He simply said, "Buddha said: one should not speak," refusing to directly deny it. His reluctance amounted to an indirect confirmation. Furthermore, comparing He Ya's photographs with the woman in the painting reveals a striking resemblance.

Thus, some of the blame shifted to He Ya. As a result, the secret that He Ya "wanted to dedicate herself" to Rong Ling and Yu Xu at the same time resurfaced, along with the revelation that her personal art exhibition featured plagiarized works. At the same time, He Ya's alumni came forward, revealing that during her school days, she had a chaotic private life, often posing as a human model. Rumors of numerous "spring affairs" also circulated. In an instant, He Ya became a representative figure of a wealthy, free-spirited woman.

Such news drove He Ya crazy. She went berserk at home, smashing everything she could lay her hands on and cursing relentlessly. She had been attracted to the charismatic and artistic senior student and had dated him for a while, carelessly getting involved and even being persuaded by him to pose as a live model several times. But back then, all the paintings he created were destroyed, so what was going on now This newly emerged painting, with its references to virgin blood and a lover who looked just like her, felt deeply malicious. She called to confront him, but he simply dismissed her claims with an airy, "I didn't say it was you." Yes, he hadn't explicitly said it was her, but some things couldn't be swept under the rug just because he chose to remain silent. She demanded clarification and explanation, even asking him to destroy the painting. But his response was a dismissive, "What are you talking about!" He then refused to answer her calls.

This is outrageous!

He's using her as a publicity stunt, stepping on her to get ahead, and manufacturing popularity for himself by manipulating public opinion!

Men, as expected, aren't much good!

At first, he showered her with sweet words and promises, pretending to be willing to do anything for her. But when it came to his own interests, he would stomp on women without hesitation!

What a pain!

What a shame!

Apart from that, what about a messy private life, being particularly wild and open, having modeled for many people, that's all nonsense! Ever since she developed strong feelings for Rong Ling, she has been very careful about her own side. Where is the messy private life They are just spreading rumors!

But now they are weak and powerless to silence those people. And those despicable media outlets, in order to create hype and attract sales and clicks, write all sorts of nonsense, regardless of whether it is true or not!

"Shut them up, shut them up!"

She screamed incessantly, yelling at Old Mrs. He and roaring with rage.
