Looking at the loss report in front of her, Liu Lu felt increasingly heavy-hearted.

The mysterious organization's attack was fierce and ruthless, causing the group's stock price to plummet and several important cooperative projects to be suspended, resulting in heavy losses.

Each page of the report felt like a heavy blow to her heart.

"They're trying to kill us!" Liu Lu slammed her hand on the table, a flash of anger in her eyes.

Secretary Chen looked at her worriedly and asked anxiously, "President Liu, what should we do now?"

Liu Lu took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

She knew that what mattered most now was not anger, but action.

"The most important thing now is to stabilize the situation while finding new resources and allies," she said firmly, though she hesitated inwardly.

At this critical juncture, who would be willing to stand with her and fight against the powerful and mysterious organization?

Liu Lu began to proactively contact the heads of various companies.

She dialed phone after phone, trying to get support.

However, most people sympathized with her plight, but no one was willing to easily get involved in the conflict.

“Mr. Liu, we understand your predicament very well, but we also have many of our own problems to solve right now. This matter has really put us in a difficult position.” A familiar business partner politely declined her request, his tone clearly cautious and hesitant.

Liu Lu did not give up; she continued to contact several other potential allies.

However, the result was almost always the same—sympathy, but rejection.

Each rejection was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the hope in her heart.

“Ms. Liu, Detective Lin has investigated thoroughly. The mysterious organization is far more powerful than we imagined. They have a deep background and cannot be dealt with easily.” Detective Lin’s words weighed heavily on her heart.

Liu Lu felt an unprecedented sense of frustration.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.

She knew that she couldn't withstand this raging storm on her own, but she absolutely couldn't give up.

Just as Liu Lu was on the verge of collapse, the office phone suddenly rang.

She answered the phone, and a deep voice came from the other end: "Mr. Liu, it's been a long time."

Liu Lu's hand gripping the phone tightened involuntarily.

She recognized the voice; it was…

Chairman Zhao.

"Chairman Zhao, is that you?" Liu Lu's voice was filled with a mixture of hope and nervousness.

“Yes, Mr. Liu. I’ve heard about your situation, and there are some things I’d like to discuss with you in person. Is that convenient for you?” Chairman Zhao’s voice was calm yet firm.

Liu Lu's heart raced; she sensed a glimmer of hope.

Perhaps this is the ally she has been searching for.

"I'll arrange it right away. See you in half an hour," Liu Lu replied quickly, a determined glint in her eyes.

Liu Lu did not give up.

She knew that simply complaining and asking for help was far from enough to persuade a cunning old fox like Chairman Zhao.

She needs to offer tangible benefits to demonstrate the value of the cooperation to the other party.

Liu Lu and Secretary Chen barely slept a wink all night. They carefully analyzed the market situation, studied the operating conditions of Chairman Zhao's companies, and finally formulated a highly attractive business plan.

The next day, Liu Lu arrived at the agreed location with Chairman Zhao on time, carrying a carefully prepared plan.

She earnestly explained the vision for the collaboration and provided a detailed analysis of every aspect of the proposal.

Chairman Zhao initially listened quietly, his face expressionless.

He would occasionally flip through the plan, and at other times tap the table lightly with his fingers, as if weighing the pros and cons.

Liu Lu's heart was in her throat. She knew that the success or failure of this negotiation would directly determine the life or death of the group.

Time passed second by second, and the air seemed to freeze.

Finally, Chairman Zhao raised his head and stared intently at Liu Lu: "President Liu, your plan is very ambitious and attractive. I believe that if we cooperate, we will definitely be able to create greater value."

Hearing this, Liu Lu finally felt relieved.

She knew she had made the right bet.

The news of Chairman Zhao's agreement to cooperate spread quickly, and companies that had previously avoided Liu Lu Group changed their attitudes.

They began to reassess the possibility of cooperating with Liu Lu's group, and some companies even took the initiative to contact Liu Lu to express their intention to cooperate.

The crisis facing Liu Lu Group seemed to have been resolved in an instant.

However, Liu Lu did not let her guard down because of this.

She knew that the mysterious organization would not give up easily; this battle had only just begun.

She picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Hello, Detective Lin? I have a new assignment for you..."

Liu Lu hung up the phone, breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally relaxed her tense nerves.

She hurried to her daughter Liu Bei's room, hugged her tightly, and said excitedly, "Bei Bei, we did it! We've found an ally!"

Liu Bei blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Allies? What are those, Mom?"

Liu Lu explained with a smile, "They are people who will help us, just like our best friends in kindergarten."

Liu Bei nodded as if she understood, and happily hugged Liu Lu's neck: "Mom is so great! Bei Bei knew Mom was the best!"

Liu Lu felt a surge of warmth in her heart; her daughter's support gave her boundless strength.

The collaboration with Chairman Zhao officially commenced, and the two began to jointly develop strategies to combat the mysterious organization.

Detective Lin also intensified his investigation, and new intelligence kept coming in.

However, as the investigation deepened, an even more shocking fact surfaced—the mysterious organization was backed by an even greater force!

This force is extremely well hidden and acts in secrecy; even experienced detectives like Lin find it difficult to track them down.

"It seems that our opponent is stronger than we imagined," Chairman Zhao said solemnly.

Liu Lu frowned, her heart filled with unease.

What exactly is the origin of this larger force?

Why are they targeting me?

"No matter who they are, I will protect my family and my company!" A resolute glint flashed in Liu Lu's eyes.

“I will fully support you, Mr. Liu,” Chairman Zhao said firmly.

Liu Lu and Chairman Zhao began to redeploy their strategy, mobilizing more resources, strengthening security measures, and intensifying their investigation into the forces behind the mysterious organization.

One evening, Detective Lin rushed over, his face grave, and handed Liu Lu a document: "Ms. Liu, we've found some clues..."

Liu Lu took the document, opened it, and her face instantly turned pale.

“This…this is impossible…” Liu Lu murmured to herself, the document in her hand trembling slightly.

"What's wrong, Ms. Liu?" Chairman Zhao noticed Liu Lu's unusual behavior and asked with concern.

Liu Lu took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then slowly said, "Detective Lin discovered that the force behind this mysterious organization may be related to..."

Her words trailed off as her gaze fell upon a stack of documents on the table. It contained all the information she had gathered about the forces behind the mysterious organization—very little information at all…
