Jiang Yao got up and turned on the lights in the darkness. She poured herself a glass of water, took a few sips, and put it on the headboard. She slumped down on the floor and buried her head in her knees.

She had just dreamed that Gu Zhao was pinching her with his hand, as if he wanted to kill her. That gaze was really sharp. Just thinking about it sent a chill down his spine.

Jiang Yao took out her cell phone and checked it. It was only four in the morning. She looked out the window. The night was still the same, without a trace of light. The moon that had been there was gone, and it was dark outside.

She stared blankly at the ceiling. Jiang Yao was not sleepy at all. She was afraid that if she closed her eyes, she would dream about such a terrifying scene again.

Just like that, Jiang Yao sat on the ground for a few hours until the window gradually lit up. She stood at the window for a moment, looking out at the gray landscape. A sudden line of rain ran across the window, and then the noise outside grew louder and louder.

The sound of the rain on the leaves became more and more obvious. With a sigh, she turned and walked down the stairs.

Aunt Sunn, who was yawning, saw Jiang Yao as soon as she walked out of the room. She walked over and asked.

"Madam, why are you up so early? Why aren't you sleeping?"

"I came down when I couldn't sleep."

Jiang Yao smiled at Aunt Sunn as she sat on the sofa. He put his feet on top of his hair and crossed his legs in a daze. She did not turn on the light when she came down. The whole living room was dark. It was especially cloudy outside, which made the room even darker.

Aunt Sunn turned on the light, and in an instant, the living room became much brighter. Jiang Yao glanced at him but did not say anything. Her eyes quietly stared out of the window.

Aunt Sunn didn't know what she was looking at, so she didn't ask her. She turned around and went into the kitchen to get busy. She quickly made breakfast.

On the other side, Gu Zhao also woke up. After he returned from the hospital, he stayed outside for a while and then went back to the company. He never left the office after that. Rubbing his wrinkled shirt, he turned and walked into the lounge.

Ye Zichen took out a brand-new shirt from the closet and put it on, then threw the shirt that couldn't be seen directly into the trash can. He had thrown away a shirt worth ten thousand yuan just like that. If others were to see it, they would definitely feel pity.

After all, this was just a wrinkle, not something that could be worn if it was broken.

Gu Zhao took a tie and changed into a suit. Today, he was going to do something big, something that would cause excruciating pain to his Jiang Family.

"Boss Gu, Secretary Liu is already waiting outside. Should we let him in now or …"

Just when Gu Zhao was buttoning up the last button on his clothes, a voice sounded from the door.

"Let him in."

Gu Zhao didn't give his secretary time to finish her sentence and directly said the latter half. Ye Zichen successfully choked on the secretary's words. It wasn't like he did this once or twice, but the secretary was already used to his way of speaking.

When Gu Zhao came out of the lounge, Secretary Liu was already standing in the office. When he saw Gu Zhao come out, he hurriedly said, "Boss Gu."

Gu Zhao ignored him. He straightened his sleeves and sat on his chair. He clenched his fists and stared at the nervous Secretary Liu.

"Have you done all the things I asked you to do?"

Secretary Liu couldn't help but shudder at the cold tone.

"I've already taken it. This is the last 20% of the shares you want."

He put the bag on Gu Zhao's table. When Gu Zhao reached out to take it, Ye Zichen suddenly pulled it back.

"I wonder if Boss Gu will keep his promise."

Just as Secretary Liu finished speaking, a piece of paper floated in front of him. He picked up the paper and looked at it, then carefully folded it and put it in his pocket.

Gu Zhao couldn't help but frown when he saw his current appearance. From his moral character, it was unknown how Jiang Guangzheng fell for him. He was totally blind.

Ye Zichen saw him look at Gu Zhao with a smile, then handed the documents over to Gu Zhao.

"Since my work is done, then Boss Gu, I'll be leaving first."

Noticing that Gu Zhao was ignoring him, Secretary Liu felt that the cheque for 5 million RMB had no interest and turned around to leave …

This Secretary Liu was Jiang Guangzheng's secretary. In the entire company, only he could easily get his hands on this stock. Now that Jiang Guangzheng didn't have any stock at all, the entire company was owned by him, Gu Zhao.

He looked at the bright red handprint and the elegant signature on the contract. Jiang Guangzheng had never thought that his hard work in half of his life would end like this in his hands.

Actually, Gu Zhao had planned this matter for a long time ago. Jiang Guangzheng was worried that he would be messing around outside when he married Jiang Yao. He gave himself a random job because he was a graduate of Finance, so he became the director of Finance at Jiang's.

This position seemed pretty good to outsiders, but as long as they were aware of it at the top of their ranks. This was just a beautiful look on his face. In reality, he was just a name without real power.

Many things were handled and signed by Jiang Guangzheng himself, and he wasn't even fart. However, this gave him a very good opportunity to start attacking from his side.

The first was Secretary Liu. As a greedy person, he had done a lot of things behind the scenes. Just from the public funds alone, he had misappropriated 4 million yuan.

It was enough to buy a house and a car, and it was enough to keep a lover. This allowed Gu Zhao to get a handle on Jiang's's finances, along with everything else.

For the past six months, Jiang's's business had not been doing well. The reason for this was because Gu Zhao had secretly competed with him. Since he stole a lot of customers from him, Jiang's was already in danger.

Now, he was facing a financial crisis. This was Gu Zhao's dream.

He looked out the window at the dusky sky. Jiang Guangzheng should be holding a shareholder meeting right now. Then wouldn't it be time for him, Jiang's's biggest shareholder, to make an appearance?

He smiled at the image of himself imprinted on the window and walked out of the office.

Gu Zhao walked all the way to the conference room of the Jiang Guangzheng the Ripper without any obstructions. He pushed open the door and walked in without any hesitation. The meeting room, where only a few shareholders were seated, was silent for a moment. Several pairs of eyes were fixed on Gu Zhao, who had just entered.

"Gu Zhao, is this a place that you should come to? Get out."

Uncle Jiang reprimanded Gu Zhao as he left the meeting room. They were currently discussing important matters. This was not where a finance director of Gu Zhao should be.

Gu Zhao instantly laughed when he heard this. Not only did he not leave the meeting room, he even pulled his chair away and sat down.

"What do you mean?"
