Novel
A disposable live-in son-in-law, a rigged coastal auction, and a missing valuation file collide in a glass-walled boardroom where paperwork decides who gets to stay in the family and who gets erased.
Story Units
Chen Yulin endures a public boardroom humiliation by the Wen family, only to reveal he has been tracking their rigged redevelopment bid. By exposing a critical valuation error in the sealed bid, he forces the family to acknowledge his competence, secures physical proof of the fraud, and shifts the power dynamic of the boardroom, positioning himself as the only one capable of saving the project.
Yulin refuses to sign the indemnity waiver, instead infiltrating the server room to secure digital proof of Haoran's fraud. He returns to the boardroom just before the 11:00 AM deadline, effectively seizing control of the bid process and exposing the family's vulnerability.
Yulin publicly exposes the Wen family's fraudulent bid at the auction, forcing a halt to the proceedings and seizing control of the correction process. His revelation of the family's hidden debt triggers an immediate audit, shifting the power dynamic from family dominance to regulatory oversight.
Yulin confronts the Wen family in the parking lot, leveraging his control over the locked bid system to demand a board seat and formal authority. He forces them into a crisis meeting where he exposes the true extent of their hidden debt, effectively shattering their hierarchy and forcing them to accept him as the only one capable of navigating the audit. The chapter ends with Yulin securing his position while sensing a larger, more dangerous power watching the family's collapse.
Yulin forces the board to confront the reality of Haoran's embezzlement and the rigged bid. By presenting irrefutable data and securing the compliance officer's testimony, he forces Madam Wen to sign the correction, effectively seizing control of the project and establishing his new authority.
Yulin secures Lin Qiaoyu’s formal verification of the bid fraud, proving the Wen family’s corruption is merely a front for a larger, institutional money-laundering scheme. He establishes himself as the primary authority, while Wen Rui’s arrival signals a new, domestic complication.
Wen Rui asks Yulin to spare Haoran, forcing the marriage’s private strain into the open in the glass corridor outside the boardroom. Yulin refuses to soften, warning that the real danger is the external money-laundering network now exposed by the verified fraud. When a project-side visitor arrives, the confrontation drops into the auction house annex, where Qin Song offers a polished settlement that is really a pressure test. Yulin calmly dismantles the offer, names the larger scheme, and exposes Harbor Crest as part of the institutional layer above the Wen family. The chapter ends on a sharper domestic fracture: Wen Rui finally reveals she has been hiding a transfer notice and a warning message from her mother, proving she kept another piece of the truth from Yulin just as the next trap closes in.
Yulin confronts Wen Rui about her complicity in the family's attempt to frame him, then traps the Harbor Crest intermediary, Qin Song, by recording his attempt to bribe him into silence. The chapter ends with the arrival of the audit team and the realization that the Wen family's fraud is merely a component of a much larger institutional laundering scheme.
Yulin crashes the secondary tender, exposing the Harbor Crest bribery and the Wen family's fraudulent valuation through verified digital evidence. As the police and audit team arrive to seize the project, Yulin publicly dismantles Haoran's authority, leaving the Wen family's legacy in ruins and himself in control of the fallout.
Yulin secures the company's digital assets and prevents a final capital theft by Haoran's shell companies. He confronts the reality that the Wen legacy is fundamentally insolvent, shifting his focus from inheritance to strategic salvage. Wen Rui reveals she has been operating independently, signaling a new, more dangerous phase of their relationship.
Yulin successfully orchestrates the audit seizure of the Wen company, exposing Haoran's fraud and effectively ending the family's control. In the aftermath, Wen Rui reveals she has been operating independently, presenting Yulin with her own investor network. The two reach a cold, professional truce, but the discovery of Liancheng Capital's involvement reveals a much larger, more dangerous hierarchy waiting to seize the district.
At the coastal redevelopment summit, Yulin turns a public attempt to dismiss him as audit residue into formal recognition by producing the continuity notice, then shuts down a national-backed consortium’s quiet asset grab by exposing the eastern seawall valuation error and presenting physical proof. In the recess, Wen Rui reveals her independent investor network and a cold working alliance forms. Lin Qiaoyu then delivers the final packet showing Liancheng Capital as only the local mask for a national conglomerate feeding on the district. Yulin realizes the real war has moved up a level.
