Inside the office, Yu Yehua stared at the stock prices on his computer, his face grim.

The secretary stood beside him, her voice tense: "Chairman Yu, news has come from Longdu."

"All six of its subsidiaries have suspended operations."

Several construction projects have been halted, and suppliers have begun demanding payment.

"The bank is also inquiring about the loan situation."

Yu Yehua asked with a stern face, "Who gave the order?"

The secretary hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "It's being said that the Sun family used their connections."

Yu Yehua sneered: "Sun Qingliang."

"He got beaten up by Shen Ze himself, and now he's coming after me?"

The secretary watched the continuously falling stock price, cold sweat beading on her forehead.

"Chairman Yu, in just two days, our market value has evaporated by billions."

"If the work stoppage continues, project defaults, loan defaults, and suppliers demanding payment will come knocking on our door one after another."

"We need to think of a solution quickly."

Yu Yehua sat in the chair, silent for a long time.

Of course he was anxious, but he had been running a business for many years and was not a young person who had just entered the industry.

Especially in times like these, it's crucial to stay calm and avoid making a rash decision.

"All project data has been reorganized to cooperate with the investigation, but every document must be kept on file."

"Notify the legal team to go to Longdu immediately."

"As for the bank, tell them that the Yu family will not default on their debts."

The secretary nodded quickly, "Yes!"

Yu Yehua picked up his phone, hesitated for a moment, and then dialed Shen Ze's number.

The call was answered quickly.

"dad."

Shen Ze's voice remained calm.

Upon hearing the word "Dad," Yu Yehua's anxiety subsided somewhat.

"Xiao Ze, something has happened in Longdu."

"The Sun family, through Wang Xiaoxi, initiated an investigation into the companies under my name."

"All industries have shut down, and stock prices are falling."

Shen Ze sat on the sofa at home, his expression unchanged: "I already know."

Yu Yehua was taken aback: "You knew?"

"Um."

Shen Ze said calmly, "Sun Qingliang can't do anything to me right now, so he can only target you first."

"He thought that as long as he brought down the Yu family, he could force me to take action."

Yu Yehua sighed: "This time the trouble is quite significant."

"The cash flow of those companies in Longdu is tied up in projects."

"If the work stoppage lasts too long, the consequences will be severe."

"rest assured."

Shen Ze said calmly, "Cooperate with any investigations that require it."

"If the Sun family wants to make a big fuss, then let them make a fuss."

Yu Yehua was silent for two seconds, then suddenly smiled: "Okay, I'm relieved to hear that."

The phone hangs up.

Yu Yehua sat in his office, looking out the window.

In just two days, the company's market value evaporated by billions.

Most people would probably have been restless by now.

But when he thought of Shen Ze's words, "Don't worry," he calmed down completely.

The Sun family wants to use their power to oppress others.

Let's see if they can really control it.

……

Magic City.

Sun Qingliang's plan did not affect Shen Ze's businesses.

Wang Xiaoxi originally intended to launch an investigation into Longsheng Group, Douxin, and Caesar Hotel.

However, when the investigation order was sent to Shanghai, it was rejected by the local officials.

"Secretary Wang, Shanghai is Shanghai, and Dragon City is Dragon City."

"Shen Ze's companies are operating normally, paying extremely high taxes every year and providing a large number of jobs."

"Without concrete evidence, we cannot arbitrarily shut down businesses based on personal grudges."

On the other end of the phone, Wang Xiaoxi's face was grim: "This is Mr. Zhao's intention."

The other party's tone remained calm: "Mr. Zhao is in charge of Longdu, not Modu."

"If Longdu has solid evidence of illegality, it can submit it through normal procedures."

"Otherwise, the Demon Lord would not cooperate with such an unfounded investigation."

The phone hangs up.

Wang Xiaoxi sat in her office, her face alternating between pale and flushed.

He originally thought that as long as he spoke up, the people in Shanghai would give him some face.

But the other party simply didn't take the bait.

Shen Ze's businesses are based in Shanghai.

The tax revenue that Shanghai receives from Shen Ze's companies each year is an extremely staggering figure.

Who would want to touch such a big piece of the pie for the sake of the Sun family?

After a long silence, Wang Xiaoxi called Sun Qingliang: "Master Sun, Yu Yehua's side has stopped work and is under investigation."

"But the companies under Shen Ze's name are not cooperating with the authorities in Shanghai."

Sun Qingliang gripped his phone, his face instantly darkening: "They dare to disrespect Mr. Zhao?"

"It's not that they're disrespecting Mr. Zhao."

Wang Xiaoxi said calmly, "They're just following the rules."

Sun Qingliang gritted his teeth.

rule?

What kind of bullshit rules are these!

They clearly see that Shen Ze's businesses can benefit Shanghai, so they don't want to offend him!

"Then let's wear down Yu Yehua first."

Sun Qingliang's voice was icy: "Yu Yehua can't hold on; Shen Ze will have to make his move sooner or later!"

……

Dragon City.

Inside Zhao Guoli's private residence, the study is filled with the fragrance of ink.

Zhao Guoli, dressed in a loose-fitting Chinese-style long gown, stood in front of the desk, holding a calligraphy brush in his hand.

On the rice paper was a line of words he had just written.

But after he finished writing it, he was not satisfied at all.

Zhao Guoli frowned, looked at it for a few seconds, and then put the brush down.

"It's still not right."

His subordinate quickly said, "Mr. Zhao, your calligraphy is already very good."

Zhao Guoli shook his head: "It's far inferior to Shen Ze's calligraphy."

As he spoke, he opened the drawer and carefully took out the calligraphy copybook that Zhao Gang had given him.

The calligraphy copybook is in excellent condition.

Zhao Guoli slowly unfolded it, his gaze falling upon it.

Each time he saw it, the shock in his heart grew stronger.

He has practiced calligraphy for decades, stood at the highest point in Longdu, and seen too many famous calligraphers.

But Shen Ze's calligraphy still left him no choice but to admire it.

The brushwork, structure, spirit, and artistic conception are all impeccable.

What's even more frightening is that the person who wrote this calligraphy was only in his twenties.

Zhao Guoli sighed softly: "I've trained hard for decades, yet I'm still not as good as a young man."

The subordinate stood to the side, not daring to say a word.

Zhao Guoli suddenly laughed: "There's nothing shameful about it."

"Some people are born geniuses, one in a century."

"Shen Ze's talent in calligraphy is enough to make all calligraphers blush with shame."

He looked at the calligraphy copybook and slowly said, "Help me arrange my itinerary."

The subordinate asked, "Mr. Zhao, where are you going?"

"Shanghai"

Zhao Guoli's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"I want to see Shen Ze in person."

"If he's willing, I'd like to become his student and learn to write from him."

The subordinate's expression changed.

Zhao Guoli actually wants to become the apprentice of a young man in his twenties.

If Sun Qingliang were to see this scene, he would probably be too frightened to speak.

He went to great lengths to curry favor with the powerful and influential, even resorting to using his connections to suppress Shen Ze.

But he had no idea.

The real top leader of Longdu actually admires Shen Ze to this extent.

……

The Yu family in Shanghai.

The projection screen in the living room was lit up.

Shen Ze and Yu Binglan were leaning back on the sofa, watching a movie.

Yu Binglan was wearing a long dress, her long hair casually draped over her shoulders.

In front of outsiders, she is always the aloof and assertive eldest daughter of the Yu family.

But when she was with Shen Ze, she was as quiet as a docile cat.

Halfway through the movie, a system notification suddenly sounded in Shen Ze's mind.
