Chapter 73 Phantom
After saying that, she sat back in front of the computer and typed new commands on the keyboard with her slender fingers.
"Dig up the tax issues of Hongsheng Building Materials, a subsidiary of Mingyuan Group. Don't go into too much detail, just the bare minimum."
The assistant hesitated: "Sister Qing, is this... too fast?"
"Quick?" Su Wanqing sneered, "I just want him to know that this inferior method will only hasten his demise."
Half an hour later.
Another seemingly insignificant analytical article was released through a small financial account.
"Beware! Could Subsidiary Tax Issues Become Mingyuan Group's Next Bombshell?"
Every point analyzed in the article accurately hits the nerves of investors.
This time, Mingyuan Group's stock price fell again.
Although the decline is still not large, this kind of report is gradually eroding market confidence.
…
Mingyuan Group President's Office.
"Trash! A bunch of trash!"
Su Wanqing's provocation was like a loud slap in Gu Ming's face.
The business methods he was proud of seemed so powerless under this unconventional public opinion attack.
Conventional means are no longer able to contain the attack of this group of people.
He had to use...unconventional forces.
Gu Ming gasped and forced himself to calm down.
He walked behind his desk and took out an old-fashioned cell phone from a locked drawer.
He hasn't dialed this number for many years.
He dialed a number that he knew by heart, and when the call was connected, an emotionless electronic voice came from the other end.
"explain."
"I need someone." Gu Ming's voice was filled with suppressed anger, "An 'eye' who can sneak into other people's homes."
"Target?"
"Gu Chaoyu, and a writer named Lin Muci beside him."
"price."
"Ten million." Gu Ming said without hesitation, "There is only one mission. I want to know every word they say and every decision they make."
"make a deal."
The call was abruptly hung up.
Gu Ming held the phone in his hand, a sinister smile appearing on his face.
[Gu Chaoyu, do you think you have grown strong enough? ]
"I want to see how you can still fight me when I see through all your plans!"
......
In the circle of urban legends, there is a mysterious man code-named "Phantom".
This person has strange abilities and his whereabouts are elusive.
On his 25th birthday, he gained the ability to become invisible.
…
night.
The lights in Gu Chaoyu's apartment were bright.
On the sofa in the living room, Gu Chaoyu, Lin Muci and Gu Ze were sitting together, discussing their next plan.
No one noticed.
Not far from them, in the shadow of the curtains, stood a completely transparent person.
"Phantom" is like a ghost, observing all this quietly.
His presence did not attract anyone's attention.
"The war of public opinion is only the first step. To truly shake Gu Ming's foundation, we must disintegrate him from within." Gu Chaoyu pointed to a document on the laptop.
"Director Wang, Wang Jiande."
"He's one of the company's veterans and holds a significant stake, but he's always been suppressed by Gu Ming. He's a typical swing voter." Gu Ze added, "As long as we can give him enough benefits and confidence, he's very likely to side with us."
Gu Chaoyu nodded: "Okay, I'll contact him right away."
In the corner, the corners of the "Phantom"'s mouth curled up slightly.
He raised his hand silently and quickly typed a line of information on a special device on his wrist.
[Target: To persuade Director Wang Jiande to defect.]
The information was instantly transmitted to Gu Ming's mobile phone.
…
Gu Chaoyu picked up the encrypted phone and called Mr. Wang.
The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.
"Hello, who is this?" The other party's voice was a little impatient.
"Mr. Wang, it doesn't matter who I am." Gu Chaoyu said in a voice-changer. "What's important is that I can give you a more promising option than following Gu Ming."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.
Then, there was a sneer.
"More promising? Young man, I advise you not to be so naive."
Director Wang's tone suddenly became extremely tough. "Mr. Gu just talked to me and promised me full equity in the new project in the southern region. Do you think I would give up this piece of juicy meat just for your empty words?"
"Stop wasting your energy."
“Beep…beep…beep…”
The phone was hung up harshly.
The rebellion plan suffered a setback for the first time.
Gu Chaoyu put down his phone and frowned.
He fell into deep thought.
Something is wrong.
Something is so wrong.
It took no more than ten minutes from the time he decided to persuade Mr. Wang to defect to the time he made this call.
Gu Ming’s reaction… was too fast.
It was so fast, as if their actions were foreseen in advance.
After the plan to incite Mr. Wang to defect failed, the atmosphere in the living room became somewhat depressing.
Gu Ze's face was a little frustrated: "How could this happen...Gu Ming...it's like he has opened his third eye."
Lin Muci also felt uneasy.
The feeling of having everything seen through made him very uncomfortable.
"Don't be discouraged, this should just be a coincidence."
"It's getting late. Let's go back and rest. We'll continue the discussion tomorrow."
......
Late at night, Lin Muci finished his shower, and walked out of the bathroom wearing his teddy bear pajamas and slippers.
He was very thirsty and wanted to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water.
As he passed the living room, he subconsciously glanced at the sofa.
Then, the footsteps paused.
[Huh?]
[This cat paw pillow...I remember it was placed on the left side of the sofa.]
【Why did it run to the right? 】
He scratched his still damp hair.
【Did I remember it wrongly?】
[Or was it Brother Xiaoyu who moved it? ]
He didn't think much about it, just thinking that he was too nervous recently and had an illusion.
But when he walked back to the bedroom with the cup of water, an inexplicable chill suddenly came up from behind him without warning.
It's chilly.
It's like...
There was a pair of eyes watching him in the darkness.
Lin Muci's body stiffened.
He turned his head suddenly!
Behind him, there was no one.
There was only the cool moonlight filtering through the living room window.
"call……"
He let out a long sigh.
[Scare yourself...]
[I must have been under too much pressure recently.]
He patted his chest, ran back to the bedroom, and threw himself into Gu Chaoyu's arms.
"Brother Xiaoyu..." he said sullenly, "Have I been too nervous lately? I'm always suspicious, as if my house is... haunted."
Gu Chaoyu was reading a document. When he heard his complaint, he put down what he was holding and hugged him tighter.
"Don't overthink it, I'm just too tired."
He kept comforting Lin Muci. Although he said so, a sense of vigilance rose in his heart.
Because he felt the same way.
As someone with the ability to read minds, his five senses are much sharper than those of ordinary people.
Just now, Lin Muci walked in from the living room.
He also felt something strange.
Not sound, nor light or shadow.
It is a vague "breath fluctuation".
This aura does not belong to him, nor to Lin Muci.
It’s the breath of a third person!
He immediately used his ability and scanned the entire room.
However, the mind-reading function returned a blank response.
There was no one in sight.
What's going on?
Gu Chaoyu frowned slightly.
【Is it my illusion? 】
No.
He trusts his intuition.
That strange breath, though faint, carried a familiar quality.
It seemed to be... the breath of "the same kind".
