Zhang Shihua's actions came to a halt.

He Meili also stood up.

At that moment, the atmosphere in the office was quite eerie.

"Sister, he has figured it all out."

Suddenly, He Meili said to Zhang Shihua with some resentment.

Zhang Shihua's face was full of disbelief.

She took a deep breath, released the doorknob, turned around to look at Chen Fang, and asked, "All that you just said, who told you these things?"

"I guessed it."

Chen Fang replied.

Zhang Shihua shook her head and said, "Impossible, it's impossible. Our plan is flawless; we've even discussed it many times. How could you have figured it out?"

"No matter how perfect a plan is, there are always flaws. When looked at individually, they indeed seem like coincidences. But strung together, they are not coincidences. This world does not have so many coincidences. You guys were too impatient. If you had extended the time span of the whole plan, I might not have noticed any loopholes."

Chen Fang's words made Zhang Shihua fall into deep thought.

After a moment.

She sighed deeply and said, "There's nothing we can do. We are out of time. If we don't act soon, father might not get to see it."

Father?

Chen Fang instinctively looked at He Meili.

At that moment, her eyes were also welling up.

"Alright then, since you have seen through it, it doesn't matter if we tell you now. Have a seat."

Zhang Shihua pointed to the sofa with her finger.

After the three of them sat down.

Zhang Shihua looked up and asked, "Meili was brought here by you, right?"

Chen Fang slightly nodded, which was a tacit admission.

Zhang Shihua laughed self-deprecatingly.

She said, "We designed this for so long, and just as we were about to implement it, you saw through it. It seems we three are truly a joke."

Three?

Just as Chen Fang expected.

Qu Hongying, He Meili, and Zhang Shihua, these three women, were indeed in cahoots.

"Are you three sisters?"

Chen Fang asked.

Zhang Shihua nodded, then shook her head.

She said, "We are three sisters, but also not. The three of us are all orphans adopted by father."

"Who exactly is the father you mentioned?"

Chen Fang asked.

He Meili said with trembling lips, "Wen Tonghe."

Wen Tonghe?

This name was very unfamiliar to Chen Fang.

Seeing his puzzled expression.

Zhang Shihua said, "Don't bother thinking about it. You haven't heard his name, but many of the older generation in Guanghe County know him. He was the director of the Qionglu Winery for twenty years."

All the stories trace back to the 1970s.

That year, Wen Tonghe was in his thirties.

Back then, Guanghe County was very poor, just like now, almost the poorest county in Jiangdong Province.

There wasn't a single decent enterprise until later, Wen Tonghe rebuilt the Qionglu Winery.

Let's talk about the history of Qionglu Wine first.

It is said that Qionglu Wine rose to prominence during the Han Dynasty. By the Tang and Song Dynasties, Qionglu Wine from Guanghe County was already widely known.

Later, through years of war, the Qionglu Winery experienced its darkest era, almost reaching the point of disappearing.

In the early 1970s.

Wen Tonghe, who was involved in home-based brewing, suddenly had an idea.

He decided to rebuild the Qionglu Winery to continue the legacy of Qionglu Wine.

He ran around for several months.

Finally received support from the county and the city.

A fund of 30,000 yuan was allocated, and Wen Tonghe became the director of the Qionglu Winery.

In twenty years.

From the initial seven people, it grew to more than two thousand people.

Qionglu Daqu, with its high quality and low price, sold well both domestically and internationally. Although it was not as famous as today's Qionglu Wine, it regained its reputation within Jiangdong Province.

In other words, modern Qionglu Wine was revived because of Wen Tonghe.

Qu Hongying, He Meili, and Zhang Shihua's parents were all employees of the winery. Qu Hongying's parents died suddenly from illness, He Meili's father drowned while drunk, and her mother ran away. Zhang Shihua's father accidentally killed someone and was sentenced to death.

Thus.

The three of them were adopted by Wen Tonghe.

Strictly speaking, Wen Tonghe was their adoptive father.

Life was unfortunate for these three girls, but they were also lucky. Wen Tonghe treated them as his own, cared for them, and made them feel the warmth of the world.

If those days had continued, they would have grown up in happiness.

Sadly, unpredictable changes occurred.

In the 1990s, when the Qionglu Winery was thriving, someone appeared.

This person was Sun Yangqian, also known as Brother K.

That was a rainy night.

Sun Yangqian, who was not yet thirty, walked into Wen Tonghe's home.

Slammed a document in front of Wen Tonghe, demanding his signature.

The document required Wen Tonghe to sell the Qionglu Winery to Sun Yangqian at an extremely low price.

Such an unreasonable demand was naturally rejected by Wen Tonghe.

After all, the winery was doing well, so why sell it? Moreover, the Qionglu Winery was state property. How could it be handed over so easily?

That night.

Sun Yangqian said nothing more.

He simply warned him, giving him one week to consider. If he didn't agree, he would bear all the consequences.

A week later, Sun Yangqian came again.

Wen Tonghe still did not agree to their demands.

Then, he suffered Sun Yangqian's revenge.

Three days later.

Wen Tonghe's six-year-old grandson went missing and hasn't been found to this day.

Following that.

His son, Wen Shun, who lost his child, was taken to gamble by someone and ended up owing a lot of money and fled.

Wen Tonghe's daughter-in-law, Wen Shun's wife, was raped on her way to the night shift.

Wen Tonghe was furious and went to confront Sun Yangqian, but not only did he not get justice, he was beaten up.

Within a few days.

The media exposed that Qionglu Wine was mixed with industrial alcohol.

It caused a huge stir.

The Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Committee arrested Wen Tonghe, forced a false charge on him, and he was ultimately sentenced to nine years.

In less than three months.

The Qionglu Winery changed ownership and became Sun Yangqian's private property.

As Zhang Shihua spoke to this point.

Her voice began to quiver.

He Meili's eyes were also moist, with tears welling up.

"So, the three of you planned all this to avenge Wen Tonghe?"

Chen Fang asked.

Zhang Shihua nodded.

She said, "After father was released, he forbade us to seek revenge because we all knew that even if the three of us combined forces, we wouldn't be a match for Sun Yangqian. The three of us studied hard, entered the system of Guanghe County, hoping that one day, we could seek justice for father."

He Meili continued in a choked voice, "We originally thought that as long as the three of us grew stronger, we would one day be able to clear father's name. But no matter how hard we worked, we couldn't catch up with Sun Yangqian's pace. He became richer and more powerful."
