Three days before the long weekend, the Department of Labor called me. "We got an anonymous complaint saying your company is forcing employees to go on a holiday retreat..." I went still. Then I checked social media. Yep. There it was. An intern who'd started a month ago had shoved me onto the local trending page. [Greedy boss turns holiday weekend into mandatory company retreat. Employees are basically free entertainment.] [They say it's optional. Yeah, right. Who's brave enough to say no?] Thousands of comments rolled in, absolutely roasting me. Except our retreats had always been elite. Fully paid. No cheap corporate nonsense. This time, I was paying out of pocket. Seven days in the Maldives. Everything covered. A $2,000 travel stipend each. Senior employees could bring family. But apparently, a free luxury vacation was oppression now. Cool. I told the labor officer, "We'll fully cooperate." Then I dropped a notice in the company group chat. [Per Department of Labor guidance, the long weekend company retreat is canceled. Everyone should take the holiday off as usual.] [The travel stipends and retreat budget will be moved into this quarter's employee benefits reserve.] The second I hit send, something slammed into a desk outside my office.

Reese, a chief deep-sea engineering engineer, was betrayed by his wife Danielle and his half-brother Owen in his previous life. The two staged a 10,000-meter deep-sea accident on their own, trapped him to death in the rescue submersible, and then pinned all the blame for the incident entirely on him. Reese was utterly disgraced, and the Starlight Group — the business empire founded by his mother — was seized and embezzled. His enemies, however, reaped both fame and fortune by treading on his remains: one was hailed as a heroic grieving wife, the other celebrated as a genius scientific icon.Reborn with full memories of his past life and sent back to the eve of the accident, Reese voluntarily turned himself in on the night of the incident and was held in the detention center. Despite repeated pleas, coercion and inducements from colleagues, his father, and the parents of the students, he refused to come forward to rescue Danielle, who was supposedly "trapped" in the deep sea. Instead, he watched coldly as Owen staged his grand performance of an "epic remote rescue".At the nationally broadcast commendation ceremony, he pressed forward step by step with ironclad evidence. Starting with the technical impossibility of the physically locked remote system, moving on to the financial proof of their secret patent embezzlement, and finally digging up the long-buried murder of his mother from twenty years prior, he exposed this self-orchestrated death scam layer by layer, and laid bare the crimes of Brandon, Maya, Owen and Danielle before the whole public.In the end, all the villains were brought to justice. Reese reclaimed the Starlight Group founded by his mother, purged all of Brandon's old loyalists, and established the world's leading deep-sea technology R&D center. The 10,000-meter deep-sea probe Breaker, which he personally designed, was successfully launched and broke multiple world records in one go. The light of truth and justice finally pierced through the ten-thousa
