Fu Siyuan had personally pushed him into the abyss.
He broke the sharpest blade and coldly watched Gu Yanxi bear the name "traitor," broken in body and ruined in reputation.
He thought he was merely cleaning house, until three years later, at the Asia-Pacific Technology Summit...
His former "tool," now a rising tech tycoon known as "Mr. Yan," was chatting amiably with Fu's biggest business rival, matching Fu stride for stride.
The truth arrived like a long-delayed verdict, shattering all of Fu Siyuan's arrogance:
Every "betrayal" had been an elaborate ruse by Gu Yanxi to clear the way for him;
Every "humiliation" was part of a counterattack Gu had planned for him while trapped in the depths of despair.
With red-rimmed eyes, he pleaded, "Yanxi, come home with me."
Gu Yanxi turned slightly aside, his smile cool as ice. "Mr. Fu, please make an appointment with my lawyer if you want to reminisce."
He had lost his fortress with his own hands. Now, with a storm approaching, how could he cross the ruins of their trust and stand beside him once more?
