Jin Shengguo sat back down heavily in his seat, his face more grim than ever before.

Jin Yuanhao, who was standing to the side, could hardly contain his laughter.

Jin Shu's move was really suicidal. He didn't even need to lift a finger; she just walked right into the line of fire!

A whopping nine billion, and even misappropriated funds from the head office, to acquire a piece of sea nearly 10,000 kilometers away.

I heard that the sea there is a famous dead sea. At first, everyone thought that there might be some precious resources on the seabed. However, wave after wave of persistent businessmen spent a lot of money to mine it, but in the end they all came up empty-handed and lost everything.

Seeing that this place was really going to be abandoned, the Kingdom of Elqiu put this sea area up for sale at an extremely low price.

"Where's Jin Shu? Why hasn't she arrived yet?"

It wasn't Jin Shu who arrived last, but the company's vice president.

"Mr. Jin has gone to conduct an on-site inspection and is estimated to be back in about a month. If you have any instructions, you can contact him directly via video."

Jin Yuanhao couldn't help but tease him from the side.

"They spent nine billion and ran away? Aren't they going to give us an explanation?"

Dad, aren't you being too lenient with my sister? Nine billion is no small sum, especially since my project is about to start, and that's exactly when I need the money.

My sister is throwing all her money into a dead sea right now. What does she mean by that? Business competition doesn't have to be this ruthless.

This is a golden opportunity, and Jin Yuanhao will definitely seize it to kick Jin Shu into a pit so she can never climb out of it for the rest of her life!

You could tell how bad his mood was just by looking at Jin Shengguo's expression.

It's not just about the 9 billion; what angered him was that Jin Shu was the heir he had announced to the public many times, and his most proud daughter.

Originally, he had planned to hand over his position to her by the end of this year, but after gaining his trust, Jin Shu did one disappointing thing after another!

It's one thing to fail in the previous project bids!

She was so out of her mind to take on such a huge mess!

Nine billion is just for the 80-year right to use a piece of sea. Whatever she does next, whether it's land reclamation or construction, the money she has to keep investing in it will be far more than nine billion!

What a massive sinkhole this is!

Jin Shu jumped down without hesitation!

With trembling hands, Jin Shengguo made a video call to Jin Shu.

He didn't answer the first call, so he had his secretary call a second one with a sullen face.

I finally got the second one.

However, the other party's video feed was quite unstable after the call connected. Through the screen, it could be seen that Jin Shu was standing on the deck of a ship, surrounded by the sound of waves. She was wearing a red polar suit, and her voice came through intermittently.

"Dad, I'm right in the center of the Arctic Ocean now! The signal is bad here, so please tell me quickly."

Jin Shengguo, his face taut, looked at Jin Shu, whose body was soaked by the seawater, and said coldly.

"You'd better go back to China right now! Explain this matter clearly!"

"What did you say? My signal is bad here—I can't hear you—"

"Jin Shu! Are you trying to drive your father to his death?!"

"Dad, I'll be back in two weeks—wait for my good news—"

The next second, the screen froze; the other party had hung up the video call.

Jin Shengguo sat in his chair for a long time before slowly recovering.

He couldn't do anything about Jin Shu not coming back.

Jin Yuanhao seized the opportunity to fawn over him.

"Dad, you can't be so biased towards my sister. My project has already started, and since you're free anyway, why don't you come with me to take a look?"

Jin Shengguo nodded, his face dark.

And so, while Jin Shu was on the other side of the ocean, Jin Yuanhao's multi-billion dollar project was also in full swing.

On the day construction began, all the investors came together to offer incense.

In the crowd, Jin Yuanhao spotted Zhang Baiyu in a white suit at a glance, then walked up to him with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing here? As a major shareholder, you should at least get a VIP lounge!"

This isn't Jin Yuanhao exaggerating; Zhang Baiyu is a genuine major shareholder, holding 60% of the investment. In other words, Jin Yuanhao is essentially working for Zhang Baiyu on this project.

Inside the lounge, Jin Yuanhao attentively poured Zhang Baiyu a cup of tea.

"You know about Jin Shu, right?"

Zhang Baiyu nodded.

"Ha... I really don't know what she was thinking, buying an entire ocean! The old man is furious, and Jin Shu probably knows she's caused trouble, so she's hiding abroad and doesn't dare come back!"

Zhang Baiyu sipped his tea, his eyes lowered in deep thought.

In his memory, Jin Shu was not the kind of person who would act rashly.

Why would she boldly buy a piece of sea? Does that piece of sea have any development value?

If it really existed, no one would have dared to study it for so many years.

Jin Shu is now a true celebrity; the news of her buying that piece of sea has already spread on foreign websites.

Many people are waiting to see her lose everything and become a laughing stock.

In fact, Zhang Baiyu also suspected that Jin Shu had been deceived.

After all, the people of that country are shrewd and calculating. As one of the most developed countries in the world, it is a breeding ground for international swindlers.

How many shrewd businessmen have stumbled there?

Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising that Jin Shu was deceived.

Having suffered a huge loss by failing to win the bid for this project, and with her emotions unstable, she was then tempted by an international scammer offering a low price. Even Jin Shu could easily fall for it.

If that's the case, then the nine billion might really be going down the drain.

What a pity, nine billion! Half of that money should have belonged to him.

Now look what happened, Jin Shu has ruined it all.

Therefore, Zhang Baiyu was not too happy when he heard the news.

"Brother-in-law... no, I know you wouldn't be happy if I called you brother-in-law. When are you planning to divorce Jin Shu?"

Jin Yuanhao knew that Zhang Baiyu loathed Jin Shu.

If this were in any other family, the older brother would have crippled Zhang Baiyu.

But Jin Yuanhao was secretly hoping that Jin Shu would be abandoned by everyone, so when he received the call from Zhang Baiyu, he was incredibly excited.

The success of this project bid was entirely due to the inside information obtained by Zhang Baiyu, who accurately knew Jin Shu's bottom price.

Therefore, Jin Yuanhao wanted to know how long Zhang Baiyu could endure it.

"Divorce? Do you want me to divorce your sister?"

"Of course... I don't want to for now. We have to wait until everything is stable, until Jin Shu can't escape my grasp, before you get a divorce. Then I can help you get more benefits."
