As a result, Meng Suihuan did not respond to her but instead turned to Xiao Zheng beside her with a blank expression. “Was it these two?”

Xiao Zheng was momentarily stunned, but quickly reacted and answered loudly, “Boss, it was them this morning! They entered your office and stole your things!”

Zheng Xiujuan, rarely humble, spoke to Meng Suihuan in a low voice. Not only was she ignored, but she was also publicly blamed by a young employee. Her face immediately turned dark.

“Who stole anything? Don’t slander us, young man! Everything must be backed by evidence!”

Xiao Zheng hurriedly responded, “There were only the three of us in the company at that time. Who else could it be but you?”

“Young man, you need to be responsible for your words. This is my daughter’s company. If I need something, I can directly ask her for it. Why would I sneak around? I think the one who took it is you, trying to frame us.”

“You… You’re talking nonsense… I didn’t do it.”

“I’m not talking nonsense. You’re nervous, so that thing must have been taken by you.”

Zheng Xiujuan, who had just silenced Xiao Zheng, then turned to Meng Suihuan, “Xiao Huan, this person has such a black heart. He’s not trustworthy—”

When she was almost done, Meng Suihuan, slyly asked, “Are you done?”

Zheng Xiujuan instinctively nodded.

“Then save your breath. Go speak with the police.”

“Xiao Jiang, call the police.”

“What police?” Hearing this, Zheng Xiujuan immediately panicked and quickly rushed toward Meng Suihuan. “I already said, this has nothing to do with me! It must be that young man who took it. Just fire him, there’s no need to make a big deal out of it.”

Meng Suihuan stepped aside in advance, her tone slow and relaxed. “Talking to me is useless. You should just speak with the police.”

Zheng Xiujuan, of course, didn’t manage to tackle Meng Suihuan and almost tripped over herself.

“You little brat, I’m your mother! How can you report me to the police? Don’t you have any conscience?”

Meng Suihuan kindly corrected her, “If you didn’t steal it, you won’t be arrested.”

Then she turned to Jiang Chengxuan, “Xiao Jiang, why are you still standing there? Go call the police.”

“Are you serious?” Jiang Chengxuan asked.

Meng Suihuan responded with a question of her own, “Do I look like I’m joking?”

Jiang Chengxuan immediately understood and walked toward the door. As soon as Zheng Xiujuan saw that he was really going to report it, she panicked. “Those are just useless scraps of paper! Even if the police come, it won’t matter!”

Meng Suihuan smiled faintly, her lips curling upwards. “I never said I lost anything. How do you know I lost documents?”

Zheng Xiujuan quickly caught on. “I was just randomly saying that. I have no idea what you’ve lost.”

Meng Suihuan ignored her and turned to leave. Zheng Xiujuan watched as the figure disappeared from the doorway. If the police came, it would delay everything, and Xiao Cong was still waiting for her. She couldn’t let them call the police.

“Hey, there’s no need to call the police. I took those useless papers. I’ll return them to you later!”

Meng Suihuan stopped, smiling at her with a glint in her eye. “This isn’t something you can solve by just returning them.”

“This is considered illegal theft. If it’s serious, you could go to jail.”

“Meng Suihuan! I’m your mother, I raised you for over twenty years! Everything of yours is mine! What’s the big deal with taking a few sheets of useless paper? Even if the police come, they won’t do anything about it!”

Meng Suihuan laughed angrily, “You can try.”

She couldn’t be bothered to argue with someone ignorant of the law, knowing they wouldn’t believe her anyway. But the next moment, she heard Zheng Xiujuan crying loudly.

“Xiao Huan, it’s Mom’s fault, but I didn’t have a choice! Someone forced me into this! Please, for the sake of raising you, forgive me…”

At that moment, Lao Zhou shouted in surprise, “Boss, that person slipped into your office.”

Meng Suihuan looked up to see Meng Weidong acting like a madman, rummaging through her office, not even sure what he was looking for. As everyone moved to stop him, Zheng Xiujuan rushed to block the door.

“If you dare come in, I’ll crash my head to the wall!”

Everyone froze for a moment, unable to believe how shameless they were being. It completely shattered their worldview.

Meng Suihuan stepped forward. “Go ahead.”

“If you die, I’ll burn incense for you on Qingming Festival. If you don’t die, I’ll send you to the hospital to get your head checked!”

Zheng Xiujuan: “…”

Zheng Xiujuan immediately began cursing loudly, accusing Meng Suihuan of being heartless and doomed to suffer retribution, but none of this had any effect. As she saw Meng Suihuan approaching, she reluctantly softened.

“Xiao Huan, I really have no choice. Your brother is waiting for help… If anything happens to him, how can I, as his mother, live with it?”

At this time, Meng Weidong had also finished searching the entire office. Not only had he failed to find the project plan, but even the paper was blank. He angrily opened the door and came out, his eyes seeming to want to devour Meng Suihuan.

“Where did you hide the project plan? Give it to me now, or don’t blame me for being rude!”

Unfortunately, Meng Suihuan completely ignored him. Did he think she was scared? But she was very interested in the situation and turned to the two of them, repeating curiously, “The project plan?”

“So your goal was that,” she said, now understanding everything that had been unclear before. She had been wondering why they hadn’t stolen other things, but chose to steal the personnel transfer plan she had written. It turned out they were after the project plan. They had just stolen the wrong thing.

“Who sent you here?” Meng Suihuan asked, but the two of them didn’t answer. She casually asked, “Was it Song Ming?”

Zheng Xiujuan immediately blurted out, “How do you know!”

Meng Suihuan narrowed her eyes. It seemed she hadn’t been wrong. After failing last time to stop them, Song Ming had come up with another malicious plan, only to end up with two incompetent teammates. They had failed to steal the right thing and had made a mess instead.

But now, Song Ming had crossed her line. He had repeatedly tried to set her up. Did he really think she was a harmless little kitten to be bullied? If that was the case, she would make Song Ming taste what real “bullying” was.

Meanwhile, Zhao Chen and others hadn’t expected that these incidents were being orchestrated by Song Ming in the background.

“Bang!” Lao Zhou slammed his fist on the table. “This Song Ming is going too far. If I see him again, I’ll have to beat him up!”

Many shared the same sentiment, but Meng Suihuan stopped them, her tone cold, “What’s the point of beating him up? Not only would it dirty our hands, but it wouldn’t achieve anything.”

“Boss, then what should we do?”

“Of course, we need to ruin him completely. We’ll make him lose everything, so he’ll remember forever what happens when you mess with the wrong person!”

Everyone couldn’t help but gasp. An unspoken thought quickly crossed their minds: never mess with a woman, especially one like their boss—fierce, beautiful, and strong!

Soon, Jiang Chengxuan returned with the police. Before they entered, Meng Suihuan kindly reminded them, “If you really want to save Meng Zicong, you better tell everything clearly—Tell the police and let them handle it!”

The couple trembled when they saw the police, their legs going weak.

The police started asking for details and recorded everything.

“…”

“Your son was caught by someone and threatened you? They said they would cut off his hands and feet unless you stole the project plan?”

The couple nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

Then, following Meng Suihuan’s instructions, they explained the situation clearly. In the end, Zheng Xiujuan started crying, “Officer, you must have a way, please, save Xiao Cong…”

Having learned everything, Meng Suihuan couldn’t help but laugh. Song Ming had really dug his own grave. He dared to engage in usury? Since he was determined to get himself in trouble, she’d send him off on his way.

Meanwhile, Song Ming had no idea danger was approaching and was waiting for good news. He indeed got news, but it wasn’t good news—it was the police knocking on his door!

Meng Zicong’s parents, along with him, were taken to the police station. After the investigation, they found out that not only had Song Ming been involved in usury, but he had also been running a small gambling den. Meng Zicong had been at that gambling den pretending to be Meng Suihuan’s brother and was targeted by Song Ming’s people. He was then tricked into signing a loan agreement with high-interest rates.

Meng Suihuan: “…”

When someone is foolish, there’s really no point in arguing with them. However, it’s necessary to give them a proper lesson to prevent them from causing trouble under her name again in the future. As for Song Ming, he had never treated Meng Suihuan with any respect from the start. His eyes were filled with hatred, as if he wanted to devour her whole. Meng Suihuan shrugged and smiled innocently, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes.

“Song Ming, do you think this is over? Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you, I’ve prepared some other surprises for you—”

“Meng Suihuan, what do you still want to do?!” Song Ming immediately panicked.

Unfortunately, Meng Suihuan ignored him and left the police station. As for Meng Zicong, he still needed to stay at the police station for the final investigation. Naturally, Meng’s parents were unwilling to see their son suffer, so they caused a scene at the police station. In the end, they got their way and stayed at the station along with Meng Zicong.^[1]T/L’s Note: Pfffft hhahahahahaha deserve!

After leaving the police station, Meng Suihuan didn’t rest. She went straight to the government to find Lao He and set up the “surprise” for Song Ming. On her way back, she passed a phone store. She glanced inside and walked in. The shop owner, seeing that she was a girl, gave her a cold expression, merely glancing at her appearance with disdain in his eyes.

“These are high-end items, only for looking, not for touching. Don’t break anything, you can’t afford to pay for it.”

Meng Suihuan couldn’t help but laugh. It was the first time she’d been looked down upon like this.

“I could buy this entire shop without a problem,” she said.

The shop owner sneered, “Little girl, you talk big for someone so young. Let me tell you, even if you work for thirty years, you still won’t be able to afford it.”

Before Meng Suihuan could respond, the shop owner suddenly changed his attitude like a chameleon, greeting a new customer with great enthusiasm. His sycophantic behavior was almost unbearable to watch.

Just as Meng Suihuan was thinking about this, the new customer stopped in front of her, staring at her with excitement on their face.

“…You… You’re Meng Suihuan?!”
