At this mont, Xu Renjie was visiting the He Family.
Upon receiving this news, Xu Shichang’s body swayed a few tis, almost fainting.
At such a turbulent ti for the Xu Family, Xu Renjie was visiting their rival. Isn’t it obvious who uploaded those docunts online?
At this mont, Xu Shichang’s heart was filled with deep regret.
No matter what, he never expected that his montary lapse in judgnt would plunge the Xu Family into such danger.
He clutched his chest, a painful expression on his face, and bitterly smiled, "This ungrateful child, if I had known it would co to this, I should have put him to death."
Unfortunately, things had already developed to this point, and it was too late for regrets.
At this ti, a rather attractive middle-aged woman asked, "Family Head, regarding those docunts online, how should we handle it?"
Xu Shichang sighed and said, "If we could have dealt with it in ti when the docunts first surfaced, perhaps everything could have still been salvaged. Unfortunately, the opponent was well-prepared and fanned the flas just as the docunts appeared online! We responded too slowly. Now that the docunts have gained montum, it’s impossible to suppress them through official ans."
Saying this, he once again wore a bitter smile, shaking his head and sighing, "Moreover, due to these docunts, our Xu Family’s power in official circles has been severed. There is no one willing to help us..."
Bam!
Before Xu Shichang could finish speaking, the villa door was suddenly slamd open. Xu Renhai rushed in with a face full of panic.
Seeing Xu Renjie’s current state, Xu Shichang suddenly felt a sense of unease.
As ti passed, this unease grew stronger and stronger.
However, Xu Renhai’s appearance still displeased Xu Shichang sowhat.
In Xu Shichang’s mind, Xu Renhai was supposed to be the future Family Head of the Xu Family, yet he was so impatient now; how would he lead the Xu Family forward in the future?
He said sternly, "Why panic? The Xu Family isn’t at a dead end yet!"
Hearing this, Xu Renhai hurriedly took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
Seeing him gradually calming down, Xu Shichang then asked, "What happened? Why are you so flustered?"
Upon hearing Xu Shichang’s question, Xu Renhai, who had just cald down, beca panicked again.
He spoke rapidly, "Father, it’s a disaster. This morning at the stock market opening, a mysterious force attacked several of our major companies. In just two hours, we have lost at least two billion, and this number is rising rapidly."
Xu Shichang’s face instantly turned grim, coldly saying, "If I rember correctly, those companies’ accounts should have at least ten billion in reserve funds, right? Why weren’t they used? And why wasn’t I inford at the very beginning? Why am I only being told after we’ve lost so much?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Renhai’s face grew even more bitter.
He bitterly smiled and said, "Father, I don’t know what happened today. It’s as if the group’s executives conspired together, either calling in sick or disappearing completely. Now there’s no one in charge at the company. The most devastating part is that the ten billion in funds was embezzled by the finance departnt."
What?
Upon hearing this, Xu Shichang’s expression changed instantly.
Although the total assets controlled by the Xu Family amounted to several billion, those were fixed assets. The liquid assets controlled by the Xu Family weren’t many.
Ten billion in funds was already quite significant for the Xu Family now.
At this mont, Xu Shichang’s brows furrowed, and his face grew extrely solemn. He said, "If I rember correctly, the finance personnel of those major groups should all be from the Xu Family, right? Their parents and relatives live in the Yunan Estates. How could they possibly do sothing to betray the Xu Family? Renhai, are you sure it was they who embezzled the ten billion in cash?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Renhai carefully recalled and said, "Things were too urgent at the ti, and reports from company employees had us so overwheld that I didn’t pay attention. Hearing you say this, sothing does indeed seem fishy."
Just then, a guard hurriedly walked in and approached Xu Shichang, whispering a few words in his ear.
Xu Shichang nodded and said, "Bring him up."
"Yes!"
Soon, under the guard’s guidance, a disheveled man covered in wounds was brought into the villa.
Upon seeing Xu Shichang, the man fell to his knees with a thud, wailing, "Family Head, I have let you down!"
Looking at the man kneeling painfully before him, Xu Shichang sighed and said, "Zhang Chi, you’ve served the Xu Family for a long ti. I want to know why you betrayed the Xu Family? Has the Xu Family ever wronged you?"
Hearing this, Zhang Chi felt even more ashad.
In a choked voice, he said, "Family Head, I had no choice. They kidnapped my son and said if I didn’t do as instructed, they would kill him. I really had no choice..."
"Who are they?" Xu Shichang frowned.
Huang Mao shook his head, "I don’t know either. They all wore masks. After I completed the job, they tried to silence . These wounds are their doing."
"Do you know the current status of Li Zhi and Zhao Peng?" Xu Shichang continued.
Li Zhi and Zhao Peng were the financial directors of the other two major groups.
Zhang Chi nodded, his face full of grief, and said, "They’ve already been killed."
This ti, Xu Shichang uncharacteristically did not lose his temper. He said to a guard, "Settle him in for now and find a doctor to treat his wounds."
After Zhang Chi left, the atmosphere in the villa grew even more oppressive.
A trace of worry flashed in Xu Renhai’s eyes. He frowned and said in a serious tone, "Father, we are being targeted. From the leaked docunts to our companies being attacked in the stock market, and then to the recruitnt and harm of key personnel loyal to our Xu Family, the opponent’s actions are tightly connected. It’s clear they had prepared in advance. Now, the most critical task is to identify who is plotting against our Xu Family in the shadows."
Xu Shichang said calmly, "It has already been identified. It’s the He Family, perhaps along with other families."
The He Family!
Upon hearing this na, Xu Renhai’s expression beca even more pained.
As the leader of the five big families, the He Family’s influence far surpassed that of the Xu Family.
If the mastermind behind this incident really is the He Family, then things are truly difficult!
