"Looks like our next move is to find a way to get the pendant in Wang Qiu's possession," Lin Yumo said.

"I have an idea."

"What idea?"

"Previously, to drive a wedge between Wang Qiu and your uncles, we had someone beat Wang Qiu up when the three of them had arranged to visit a club for some fun.

"Afterward, I guided Wang Qiu into pinning the blame on your uncles and used a self-inflicted ploy to clear myself of suspicion.

"Wang Qiu already held a grudge against your uncles. To get revenge, he directly asked me to secretly make a move against them.

"After that whole chain of events, the two sides were practically on the verge of falling out completely.

"We can exploit their relationship and find an opportunity to use the same trick again. Except this time, instead of beating someone up, we'll snatch the bracelet from his hand."

"Wouldn't Wang Qiu be on guard if we do it again so soon? And beating someone up is different from stealing something. Wang Qiu's bracelet should be worth quite a bit. The people we hire might not be reliable—what if they get greedy and keep it for themselves? That would be troublesome."

After hearing Lin Yumo out, Su Yurou thought for a moment before saying, "I can find a way to create an opportunity. Wang Qiu still trusts me fairly well right now. As for the people you're worried about, I can find someone trustworthy. "It's just that after this, the price he pays definitely won't be small. You'll have to offer some compensation."

"That won't be a problem. As long as I can uncover the truth behind my father's death, I'm willing to pay any price. Of all those costs, money is the least important."

"Fine, then it's settled. Yumo, you only need to do one thing: find a way to get your uncles to contact Wang Qiu and ask him to go to the club. I can handle the rest."

"No problem."

After Lin Yumo and Su Yurou finalized their plan, they each began making preparations.

Using an overseas email account, Lin Yumo sent an email to her eldest uncle, Lin Zhengdong.

"Hello, Mr. Lin Zhengdong. Forgive the intrusion, but I happened to learn that Wang Qiu possesses evidence proving that you jointly murdered Lin Zhengnan back then. Because you hired people to beat him up, he is extremely dissatisfied with you and is planning to use this evidence to seize Longcheng Biology from you. "If you want to know where the evidence is, immediately transfer 1 million US Dollars to the account below. Once I receive the money, I will tell you where it is."

At the end of the email was an anonymous bank account.

Lin Zhengdong's first reaction upon receiving the email was disbelief. But he could not help recalling how he and his younger brother had been ambushed, bagged over the head, and severely beaten a couple of days earlier.

The email said that Wang Qiu believed the brothers had arranged for him to be beaten up. Not long after Wang Qiu was attacked, the brothers had also been beaten up. It was very likely Wang Qiu's retaliation.

Thinking that over, Lin Zhengdong sensed that something was off. He switched to another overseas email account and sent Lin Yumo a reply: "Why should I believe you?"

Seeing that Lin Zhengdong had changed email accounts, Lin Yumo curled her lip and thought, Pretty cautious. He didn't leave any traces through his email. That's one less piece of evidence.

But thoughts were one thing; Lin Yumo's hands moved without hesitation. She directly sent Lin Zhengdong some of the evidence Su Yurou had uncovered concerning the collusion between the two sides.

Lin Zhengdong's expression changed slightly after reading it. He was now certain that the person who had sent the email was absolutely someone close to Wang Qiu.

"Could it be Wang Qiu's secretary?" Lin Zhengdong could not help thinking of Su Yurou.

Meanwhile, Su Yurou was currently going at it with Wang Qiu in the car to establish her alibi!

How could she possibly be sending emails while doing that?

"Why are you betraying Wang Qiu?" Lin Zhengdong sent another, leading email.

"Who said I'm Wang Qiu's person? I merely happened to find out about this and thought I'd make some extra money! Don't tell me General Manager Lin can't even come up with 1 million US Dollars?" Lin Yumo replied.

"I hope you aren't lying to me." With that, Lin Zhengdong had his secretary make the transfer.

A few minutes later, Lin Yumo checked and found that the money had arrived in the bank account.

She drafted another email and sent it over. "I wonder whether General Manager Lin has noticed that Wang Qiu values the bracelet on his left hand very, very much. He never takes it off—not even when he's with a woman. "What you're looking for is inside the pendant on the bracelet. As for how you get it, that's your problem."

After receiving the email, Lin Zhengdong could not help recalling the several times he had met with Wang Qiu.

Whenever Wang Qiu met with them, his left wrist was always covered up tightly. They had never seen any bracelet.

But the more that was the case, the more Lin Zhengdong felt that Wang Qiu truly was hiding something.

Lin Zhengdong grew anxious and immediately summoned his younger brother, Lin Zhengxi.

After discussing it, the two decided to invite Wang Qiu to meet them at the club that night.

Lin Zhengdong immediately called Wang Qiu.

At that moment, Wang Qiu had just finished and was in a state of blissful satisfaction. The moment he heard about going to the club, he could not muster the slightest interest. On top of that, he had only recently been discharged from the hospital, and the bridge of his nose still ached faintly. He refused on the spot and hung up.

"Boss, the Lin brothers definitely aren't up to any good. You absolutely mustn't go!" Su Yurou said from beside him.

"That's what I think too." Wang Qiu had barely finished speaking when his phone rang again.

The moment Wang Qiu hung up, the Lin brothers nearly panicked. After learning that Wang Qiu had evidence of their murder of Lin Zhengnan, the two brothers could no longer think of anything else. They only wanted to get their hands on it as quickly as possible.

So no matter what, they had to see Wang Qiu that night. That was why Lin Zhengdong directly made a second call.

"Manager Wang, we aren't going out for fun today. We have something serious to discuss with you. If you don't come tonight, there may be some uncertainty over how next quarter's dividends are distributed."

Wang Qiu's face darkened after hearing Lin Zhengdong's words. He had conspired with the Lin brothers in the first place for Longcheng Biology's dividends. Now the Lin brothers were actually using that to threaten him. It seemed they were ready to tear things apart.

But Wang Qiu was not worried. He had evidence in his hands. As long as he had that, he did not need to worry about the Lin brothers obediently falling in line.

With that thought, Wang Qiu agreed. "Fine! I'll be there at ten tonight."

Having achieved their goal, the Lin brothers did not press the matter further.

"Boss, are you really going?" Su Yurou asked.

"I have no choice."

"Should I come with you? Or should we bring a few bodyguards?" Su Yurou continued.

Wang Qiu pondered for a moment. This time, he would likely have to use the evidence to threaten the Lin brothers. To keep them from lashing out in desperation, bodyguards were necessary. "Get two sharp ones to come along. Remember, only two—too many would just cause trouble. Xiao Su, you're coming with me too!"

"Understood." Su Yurou immediately nodded.
