32: Showdown

Twenty minutes later, Lan Zijun arrived at her destination.

'First International' Grade A office building, 32nd floor.

Ding—

The elevator opened, and a dozen men in uniform black attire were already waiting there.

"President Lan!"

Seeing Lan Zijun step out of the elevator, the crowd immediately stepped forward, bowed in unison, and greeted her loudly.

Waving her hand and nodding slightly, Lan Zijun responded to everyone.

"President Lan, this way please."

The leading man in black respectfully guided Lan Zijun into a private security company named 'Shen Ji'.

Besides standard personal security, special escort, and target transportation, this security company also provided 'private investigator' services.

Yuantu Investment Company and Lans Group had always maintained business relations with 'Shen Ji' Private Security Company.

Lan Zijun was naturally their VIP client.

Led into a meeting room, Lan Zijun put down her belongings, sat on the sofa, crossing her left leg over her right in an elegant posture.

After serving tea, fruit, and vegetables, the staff members smartly and quickly left.

'Shen Ji''s boss, Jiang Zhehao, picked up a zisha teapot to add some tea for Lan Zijun, then straightened his back and respectfully said, "President Lan, what do you need us to do?"

Picking up the teacup and taking a small sip, Lan Zijun put the cup down, looked directly at Jiang Zhehao, and said:

"Go investigate my fiancé—Qian Boda."

Qian Boda?

Jiang Zhehao frowned slightly and pressed, "President Lan, what aspect should we investigate?"

Lan Zijun took another sip of tea, her expression still emotionless:

"First, you should send people to follow Qian Boda. Everything he does, who he meets with each day, and what they say, must be collected for me."

"Second, for Qian Boda's family business—Ruiling Group—every single mid-to-high-level manager, their recent contacts and movements must all be investigated. I will pay 40% extra for the cost."

"Finally, Ruiling Group's financial accounts and trade transactions must also be thoroughly investigated. The cost will also be 40% extra."

With detailed requirements and clear organization, Lan Zijun arranged the tasks in an orderly manner.

Jiang Zhehao was secretly amazed. It was fortunate that Lan Zijun was not in the field of private security, or she would be his biggest competitor.

After listening to Lan Zijun's instructions, Jiang Zhehao showed a hesitant expression.

"President Lan, it's not that I'm trying to refuse."

"As far as I know, your fiancé Qian Boda and Ruiling Group have partnered with two other security companies in the city, spending a lot of money on private security."

"It's not that we can't breach their security, but everyone is in the same industry, and there are industry rules between peers."

Jiang Zhehao looked troubled: "To avoid malicious competition, unless necessary, we won't easily investigate our peers."

Clang—

Before Jiang Zhehao could finish speaking, a clear clinking sound interrupted him.

Looking closely!

A USB drive dropped from Lan Zijun's hand onto the coffee table.

It was the one Su Yue had given Lan Zijun.

"This is?" Jiang Zhehao was puzzled.

"What you call necessity."

Lan Zijun spoke as if holding a piece of ice, her tone so cold it could freeze frost:

"Inside are Qian Boda and my personal doctor, Fang Fei. As for the rest, you'll understand once you see it."

"Ah... okay, President Lan, okay."

Jiang Zhehao didn't dare say anything more and quickly reached out to pick up the USB drive from the table.

After seeing Lan Zijun off.

Jiang Zhehao immediately connected the USB drive and started reviewing it.

"Oh my god...!"

After carefully examining the USB drive, Jiang Zhehao was so shocked his hands and feet went numb, as if thousands of tiny insects were crawling on him, and his back was covered in cold sweat.

Working as a private investigator, he was naturally very sensitive to all sorts of matters.

Although it was just a short passionate clip, after realizing the identities of the two people, he could already infer a lot.

Qian Boda actually planned to assassinate Lan Zijun!

Moreover, he had another question.

The person who filmed this video was clearly Qian Boda himself, and he certainly wouldn't spread such a crucial video everywhere.

Jiang Zhehao could even tell from the blurriness of the video that it was likely recovered through technical means.

"How did President Lan get her hands on these?!"

Huge doubts enveloped Jiang Zhehao. He felt that things were definitely not that simple. Such intelligence control was truly terrifying. This President Lan was too scary!

....

Jiang Zhehao immediately began his investigation.

Meanwhile, leveraging her own influence and the connections of Lans Group, Lan Zijun also launched a millimeter-level investigation into Qian Boda and his family group through other channels.

With Lan Zijun's authorization, the investigation progressed unusually smoothly.

They didn't know until they investigated, and once they did, they were shocked.

"President Lan, this is the information investigated and verified based on the intelligence you provided."

When saying this, Jiang Zhehao's attitude was extremely respectful, even carrying a hint of awe.

Clearly, he had been scared by Lan Zijun's methods, unaware that behind her was a terrifying intelligence organization...

After reading the final investigation report submitted by Jiang Zhehao, Lan Zijun was so enraged that blood rushed to her head, and the veins on her temples bulged prominently.

Qian Boda had secretly established shell companies and used the intelligence he obtained from Lan Zijun to snatch orders from Lan Zijun's company.

Only then did Lan Zijun suddenly understand.

No wonder the company's orders had been severely lost recently.

The competing companies that took Lan Zijun's orders seemed to have precognition, knowing all of Lan Zijun's company's quotes and terms like the back of their hand, specifically targeting and intercepting them.

The truth was revealed; it was all Qian Boda's doing!

What was even more infuriating was that.

When Lan Zijun was preparing 40 million in cash for Su Yue, she was surprised to find that a lot of funds in the company's account had been misappropriated.

The misappropriated funds were balanced in the books, and Lan Zijun couldn't even gather the 40 million payment for Su Yue.

A thorough investigation in her fury revealed that the funds had been misappropriated by Qian Boda.

Qian Boda's heart was so poisonous that even Satan would tattoo him on his body!

Since this was the case, there was nothing more to say. It was time to tear off the facade and have a showdown!

...

Three days later.

Mingyuan Teahouse.

Lan Zijun invested in many industries, and this teahouse was one of them.

The location was chosen on the outskirts of the business center, but not far from the urban life circle.

It had its own independent courtyard, the location was quiet within the hustle and bustle, and the environment was fresh and elegant.

Lan Zijun would usually choose to entertain clients and discuss business here.

Behind the courtyard was a separate 2-story building.

This was Lan Zijun's private property and was not open to the public.

At this moment.

Wearing a black suit, the stunningly beautiful Lan Zijun was sitting before a green jade tea sea, gently boiling water for tea, her expression calm.

Thump thump, thump thump—

Heavy and messy footsteps sounded. Someone came from upstairs and walked to the door.

Whoosh—

The red wooden sliding door of the teahouse was pulled open from the right.

"What do you want? I'm busy."

The voice came in first. Qian Boda's expression was impatient, and he walked directly into the teahouse without even taking off his shoes.

A string of black footprints was left on the clean tatami mat.

Gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle—

Whoosh—

The mountain spring water boiling on the small stove to the right bubbled and hissed.

Lan Zijun remained calm, tilted her head, and gestured for Qian Boda to sit down.

As the other party took a seat, Lan Zijun took out exquisite tea sets, poured water, washed tea, filtered, scraped foam... all in one smooth motion.

She poured a cup for herself and pushed a cup to Qian Boda.

Qian Boda saw an iPad to the right of the teacup pushed towards him.

"There's a file on the iPad. Take a look."

Lan Zijun picked up her teacup, didn't even look at Qian Boda, took a sip, her lips still on the rim of the cup, and said to Qian Boda in a low voice, her face still chillingly cold.

"What is it?"

Qian Boda mumbled, grabbed the iPad, and pressed the button to light up the screen.

"You little bitch..."
