QT: Grace To Grass Counterattack System

As soon as he got settled in the room with an extra glass of milk, He Yuan pushed Zhang Jun and Li Shiyu to the back of his mind and continued to study the medicinal plants.

It soon got dark and the family head and madam returned with the kids but He Yuan remained upstairs instead of joining all of them for dinner. He had already swallowed enough drama for one day.

When it was almost midnight, He Yuan smiled. It was time. He checked the video feed, Zhang Jun and Li Shiyu were practicing acrobatics. He Yuan really didn't know what else to call it, the position Li Shiyu was in seemed a little too good to be humanely possible but leave it to the omega to always find new ways to please Zhang Jun.

He Yuan hit the record button before diverting his attention. He changed into a pair of black clothes, black slippers -he was injured so he couldn't wear boots- and even a black woolen mask for extra measure.

888 materialized against the reading table. "You're just going to grab a bunch of files from the storage room. Is there any need to overdo it?"

He Yuan glared at him. "How on earth do you expect me to go on my first reconnaissance mission without the classic black on black? That's like breaking tradition, who does that?!"

888 ran his hand through his silver hair and decided to put his focus on cleaning his glasses instead. He was no longer going to pay any attention to this so called host.

After grabbing the forged key, He Yuan walked out of the room. Zhang Jun, Li Shiyu and the kids occupied the second floor of the West wing and as for the family head and madam, they slept in the East wing, on the floor directly above Li Yexi's floor.

The live-in servants had their own quarters built outside the mansion so he wasn't worried about being caught. The file cellar was located in the basement and like 888 said earlier, the entrance was in the storage room.

He found out about this file cellar through one of Li Yexi's memories. At the time when him and Zhang Jun were newly married. Zhang Jun must not have felt the same earth shattering love, he had for Li Shiyu, for Li Yexi but at least their relationship was cordial and the sex was good too.

And it was during one of those bedroom moments that Li Yexi had been curious about the key around the alpha's neck. Zhang Jun just offhandedly gave a few words without revealing too much information, but it was enough for He Yuan to deduce the existence of the file cellar.

As for how he guessed the location. No one was allowed in the storage room, not even the cleaners and if this didn't scream location-of-basement-containing-top-secret-company-files, then He Yuan would never know what did.

Sneaking his way around the mansion, He Yuan finally got to the storage room. He held the key tightly in his hands as he had no idea if it would fit. He had subtly asked around and found out from the servants that this storage room seemed to have no key and if it did, it must have been lost a long time ago but how could that be possible?

There was no way the family head and Zhang Jun could reach the file cellars if the storage room key was lost so he assumed that the key they had could open both the storage room and the basement doors. He slipped it in.

CLICK!

The door opened and He Yuan did a little dance of victory before going in. The space was smaller than he originally thought and there were dusty shelves upon shelves of supplies crammed in.

After looking around for sometime, he found the door leading to the basement concealed under a rug. Another click and he was in.

Without wasting time, He Yuan started browsing through the shelves full of files looking for the one containing the latest ones. As soon as he found it, he took out his phone to take pictures. Some of these files contained upcoming deals.

And then he started searching through the older files, he'd never believe it if somebody told him an organization as large as the Zhang conglomerates had no shady secrets. He soon stumbled upon records of tax evasion. The amount was nothing too serious but was serious enough to push them into the abyss once the time was right.

He Yuan smiled. Bingo. Once he was done taking some more pictures, he left the storage room and returned upstairs with his back full of sweat.

888 was sitting crossed legged on the bed with his eyes trained on the laptop. He Yuan scoffed. "Just wow. You curse me for being a pervert and then turn around and do the same thing I was doing!"

888 looked over to He Yuan with a dry smile. "You were doing it to seek excitement whilst I'm just here wondering how long until Li Shiyu breaks his neck or spine from the extreme positions he's in."

Liar! But He Yuan didn't call the system out on it. He walked into the bathroom to freshen up and prepare for bed. He'd spent a lot of time skimming through hundreds of papers. He needed rest.

For the next few weeks, Zhang Jun spent more time at work than home. The company had been having failures upon failures and he was beginning to suspect there was a spy but where did the spy come from? The only people aware of the major deals were his trusted subordinates so how did this happen?

He Yuan on the other hand, spent his time between studying plant life and paying visits to the Li mansion. The new corporation was ready and Li Shu had been removing his trusted aides from the old Li corporation on the low. He also managed to snag a few business partners that were once shared with the Zhang conglomerates.

Li Shu had also hired hackers to defend the firewall of the systems in the company. He had no idea why his younger brother had insisted on this but he did it anyways. All in all things were good on the Li family side.

The little clones had been constantly looking for ways to bring He Yuan trouble and even Li Shiyu had been trying to sound him out regarding the divorce but He Yuan energetically ignored all of them like the bubonic plague. His plans were already set in motion so he had no time to pay attention to them.

Today, He Yuan spent the entire day in the Li mansion and was smiling as he drove back to the Zhang home. He finally managed to prepare the concoction that could trigger the effects of the acupuncture he carried out on Zhang Jun at the Li mansion.

Once he arrived, the entire family were crowded in the living room. Li Shiyu was rubbing Zhang Jun's back to soothe him whilst the alpha looked like his soul had left him. As someone who was praised as a financial genius, having to go through all these setbacks back to back must have dampened his spirit.

The family head and madam just sat there silently and the family head seemed pissed to the max. He Yuan directly ignored all of them and turned to walk up the stairs.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!"

He Yuan froze and arched a brow. It was the Zhang madam and she was looking at He Yuan as if he was the cause of all their problems. Well yes, but they didn't know that so what was this about?
