"What now? Cool it." Ye Tianfan shook his head helplessly. The cargo ship had already sailed out, and what's more, it had lost contact. What could he do? Should he find a 400-meter swimming champion to catch up to it? Can you catch up to one, can you catch up to the next one?

As long as one cargo ship reaches its destination and the goods are found to be defective, Qin Group's reputation will be ruined. Right now, apart from feeling helpless, Ye Tianfan can only feel resigned. There's no denying that Tianyu Group's scheme was quite successful, catching everyone off guard.

"I'm heading back." Ye Tianfan murmured, not bothering with Ji Liancheng, and turned to leave the office.

Ji Liancheng quickly caught up, hoping to discuss some remedial actions, but Ye Tianfan merely waved his hand, said nothing, and left directly.

He knew that no matter what Ji Liancheng did now, it would be of no help. Since the situation had occurred, all they could do was wait and respond as circumstances demanded. This time, Tianyu Group had kick-started a business battle with fierce momentum, catching everyone off guard. Just after meeting Ye Tianfan, he was already at a disadvantage; the next step had to be a move-by-move response.

This realm is not the Ancient Martial Realm, not the field Ye Tianfan excels in. But since the opponent has made a move, he cannot just let it go unchecked. Ye Tianfan is not one to suffer quietly.

After leaving Ji Liancheng's office, Ye Tianfan wandered aimlessly down the street, unsure where to go. Should he return to the Qin Family's villa and take care of the bedridden Qin Ruomeng? Or should he head to Peony Street to visit Long Yuqing and Yao Lingshan?

Torn between decisions, seeing Qin Ruomeng, Ye Tianfan didn't know how to explain the company's situation to her. If Ruomeng learned of this, it might worsen her condition, and she might even recklessly jump out of bed and rush to the company.

Going to Peony Street, Ye Tianfan was unsure how to face Yao Lingshan. He didn't want to see her cry again, especially since Long Yuqing was there too. If Lingshan started crying, Yuqing would definitely ask questions, and if these two women landed in a combative situation again, it would be a real headache.

Ye Tianfan wore an expression of helplessness, feeling for the first time that there was much trouble among women. He pulled out his phone and called Huang Xiaorou, wanting to inquire about her company's situation.

Shortly, the call connected: "Hello, Huang Xiaorou, is there anything unusual on your end?"

Huang Xiaorou's slightly somber voice came through the phone: "Seven managers left, including three senior managers who access our Huang Group's core data. They left silently before I returned."

Ye Tianfan's face also darkened: "Is the impact significant?"

"Very significant. With those managers gone, all our company's core data, financial reports, and goods price lists—everything, a whole set of business secrets—are exposed. Now Huang Group has no secrets left; competitors can fully block us. In other words, our Huang Family is about to collapse."

Huang Xiaorou's voice sounded helpless and slightly hoarse, as if she had just cried. Although the Huang Family isn't the top company in Jiangzhou City, it's still a longstanding enterprise that has maintained a steady third place in Jiangzhou, with its status never declining. This time, it seems it's indeed facing bankruptcy and dissolution.

Huang Xiaorou's sentence: our Huang Family is going to collapse, carries untold tears of bitterness.

"Is there any way to save it?" Ye Tianfan asked softly.

Silence.

On the phone, Huang Xiaorou fell silent, with faint sobbing sounds making one's heart ache.

"No, all the methods I've thought of. Even Lin Xiaofeng has financed us, but it's only a temporary fix, not a cure. I don't want to drag the Lin Family down."

Finally, Huang Xiaorou broke into tears: "Tianfan, what should I do?"

Facing Huang Xiaorou's sobs, Ye Tianfan found himself at a loss. He too was in a precarious situation. He had called Xiaorou to inquire about the extent of her losses, but he didn't expect the Huang Family's situation to be so grave.

Always proud, never bowing down to anyone, Huang Xiaorou was now being forced into such a predicament.

"Things aren't good on my side either. In ten days, the Qin Group's brand will likely fall."

Ye Tianfan's voice was equally low. Tianyu Group's aggressive rise left everyone unprepared, including the Qin Group. Ten days! The cargo ship arrives at foreign docks in just ten days.

Once the time's up, Qin Group's reputation will be ruined, and all foreign trade will come to nothing, with losses reaching over 85%. This can almost be equated to bankruptcy.

"The Qin Group is going to fall too? Does Tianyu Group really have such capability?" Huang Xiaorou could hardly believe her ears. Being a leading business giant in Jiangzhou City, the Qin Family was also facing such a major crisis; if the Qin Group falls, the entire Jiangzhou City will be in upheaval.

After all, the fall of a giant would definitely be a shocking event for everyone, prompting numerous medium-sized enterprises to jump forward to claim Jiangzhou City's business throne.

"Sigh, the current Jiangzhou business realm seems to be toyed with at Tianyu Group's whim."

"I feel the same."

"Just be patient. This is merely the precursor to a storm. Let's quietly observe the change. The fox will eventually show its tail."

"Are you referring to the person behind Tianyu Group?" Huang Xiaorou's voice sounded a bit surprised.

"Yes, otherwise, do you think that fat-headed, big-eared Chairman of Tianyu Group could manage such a thing?" Ye Tianfan counter-questioned.

Huang Xiaorou fell silent again, indeed realizing, as Ye Tianfan said, the person behind Tianyu Group must have extraordinary capabilities. Such thunderous actions sweeping the Jiangzhou business realm could not be accomplished by Tianyu Group's mediocre Chairman; he's merely a puppet. The truly daunting one is the one behind him.

However, until now, the person behind has yet to emerge, just like Ye Tianfan said, the only action left is to wait!

Wait for the person behind Tianyu Group to step forward.

But Huang Xiaorou knew very well that those behind Tianyu Group wouldn't easily reveal themselves. Once they decide to come forward, it will be the moment to deliver a fatal blow to Jiangzhou's business world.

At that time, can she handle it?

"Tianfan, I'm a bit scared."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. As long as the Qin Group doesn't fall, Jiangzhou's business realm won't be chaotic! During this time, do nothing; it's best to halt all business activities and observe the situation."

"Okay." Huang Xiaorou agreed, actually, before Ye Tianfan's arrangement, Huang Family had already suspended all business activities. Some were voluntarily stopped, but most were forcibly halted since Huang Group had begun facing a situation where there's no business to do.
