"If you really have no other choice... go to Australia and find Jin Chu. With him there... Jing Min can't do anything to you for the time being."

Chu Wuyang didn't speak, and slowly turned off the screen with her fingertips.

Just then, the assistant called urgently.

“Miss Chu, this is bad news. Our two large shopping malls and three factories in Haicheng have just received notices requiring them to completely cease operations for rectification. This includes investigations into order cancellations, fire safety, and environmental impact assessments.”

"Even the logistics company suddenly terminated the contract."

"What? What happened?"

Chu Wuyang suddenly stood up.

There was a moment of silence on the other end, but the assistant's tone became ambiguous.

"We are still investigating, but it seems that someone is orchestrating this behind the scenes; it's not as simple as a sudden, unexpected event."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Yuhe called.

"Yangyang, listen to me! I just saw Jingmin's assistant come to my old man's door today, and he actually resorted to threats, saying that anyone who dares to cooperate with you is making an enemy of the Jin family!"

Chu Wuyang was startled and gasped sharply.

Ye Yuhe was still rambling on and on.

"But don't worry, my old man can't stand threats. He's incredibly righteous and would never bow down to evil forces... Ah!"

A sharp noise came from the other end of the phone, as if the phone had been suddenly snatched away.

"Ahe? Ahe! What's wrong?"

Chu Wuyang's voice changed tone.

A few seconds later, an elderly male voice, tinged with difficulty, rang out—

“Yangyang, it’s me, Uncle Ye.”

Chu Wuyang was taken aback. "Uncle Ye?"

"Sigh... Yangyang, your uncle is in a difficult position. Jingmin did send someone over, and their words were very harsh and... very clear."

He paused, his tone heavy.

He said, "You don't have to take sides, but from now on, anyone who cooperates with Chu Wuyang will have no place in Haicheng." It seems the whole country knows what he meant.

"Uncle, I am ashamed, but the Jin family is very powerful, and I..."

"I understand, Uncle Ye, thank you for telling me all this."

Chu Wuyang's hand holding the phone was completely cold.

No wonder he came back before he had even settled into his position in the Jin family; it turns out he wanted to personally "settle accounts" with her.

There was truly no way out. After much thought, she still couldn't give up. She couldn't let the entire Chu family be implicated because of her.

After much hesitation, I finally dialed that scoundrel's number.

The call was answered quickly, as expected.

"You received Miss Chu's call so quickly?"

Jing Min's voice was deep, clear, and carried an innate air of aristocratic coolness.

"I thought Miss Chu would at least hold on until tomorrow."
