Inside an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city, three figures sat around a dimly lit table. The once powerful CEO, Mr. Zhang Wei, eyed the young woman across from him. Xueyao, the mastermind behind several schemes, sat with a smirk on her face. To their right was Mr. Smith, Hua's father's old friend, now a shadow of his former self.
"So, what's next?" Xueyao asked coolly, her fingers tapping the table. "We took care of Shen, but Hua's still in the picture, and she's getting too close to finding out."
Mr. Zhang Wei, arms crossed, leaned back. "Hua's always been clever. But that's why I never underestimated her. Still, we have to be cautious now."
Mr. Smith nodded, his voice trembling slightly. "She's the last link. If she connects the dots, all of us are finished."
Xueyao sneered. "Then we can't let her. The plan is already in motion, and I'll make sure Hua is completely out of the way before she gets the chance."
Mr. Zhang Wei's eyes glinted with cold calculation. "We need to finish this carefully. No more mistakes."
They all exchanged looks, knowing the stakes. The fate of their futures rested on the elimination of one final obstacle: Hua
As the trio continued to discuss their next move, the atmosphere in the warehouse grew tense. Xueyao's mind raced, calculating every potential threat Hua could pose. Mr. Smith wiped his brow nervously, while Mr. Zhang Wei remained calm, his expression unreadable.
"We've silenced enough people to keep this hidden," Xueyao said, her voice steely. "But Hua is relentless. She's closer to the truth than we think."
Mr. Zhang Wei nodded slowly. "She inherited her father's sharp mind. The problem isn't just Hua—it's those around her. Her friends, her allies. They are her strength."
Mr. Smith, who had always been a loyal friend to Hua's father, felt the weight of betrayal more heavily than the others. His loyalty was torn between the actions they had taken and the memory of Hua's father, a man who trusted him.
"We can't let her connect us to Shen's death," Mr. Smith said, his voice breaking. "But how far are we willing to go?"
Xueyao stood up abruptly, her patience thinning. "As far as we need to," she snapped. "If Hua gets in the way, she'll end up like her sister."
The room went silent.
Mr. Zhang Wei cleared his throat. "Calm down, Xueyao. Let's not act rashly. We need to outthink Hua, not rush into another reckless action."
Xueyao glared at him, but said nothing. Mr. Zhang Wei's influence was still strong, even though he was no longer in charge of TechCorp. He was the one who had orchestrated their schemes, pulling strings behind the scenes for years. But now, the stakes were higher than ever.
"We have to make sure Hua doesn't suspect us," Mr. Zhang Wei continued. "We keep watching her every move, manipulate her decisions, and when the time is right, we'll act."
Mr. Smith looked down, guilt washing over him. Could he really continue down this path? He had betrayed Hua's father, and now he was part of a conspiracy that had led to the death of her sister. How much more blood would stain his hands?
"We'll make sure she never finds out," Xueyao muttered. "She'll be too busy dealing with the chaos we create to realize who's really pulling the strings."
The three of them knew that they were playing a dangerous game. One wrong move could expose their darkest secrets.
