The headquarters building of the Long Group.
Long Yue stood in the spacious and luxurious office, holding a glass of Givenchy's special wine and savoring it carefully.
Her long fingertips gently brushed the hair behind her ear.
At that moment, a person was lying on the floor in the middle of the office.
Upon closer inspection, one can still discern traces of this person's pampered lifestyle.
However, the man had been tortured beyond recognition, his body covered in wounds, and his once cold and stern face was now filled with pleading and pain.
"Yueyue, please let me go for the sake of us being family! I promise I won't compete for the position of head of the Long family!"
Long Yue gently put down her wine glass, squatted down in front of him, and gently stroked Long Xingbang's cheek.
"I'm sorry, brother, I really can't make a mistake, not even the slightest one!"
After saying that, Long Yue stood up as if talking to herself and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the city lights below and muttering to herself.
“That place… was where I built my business from scratch! Back when the Long Group hadn’t yet risen to prominence, I was left all alone in that place!”
"In order to get my family to stop oppressing me, I voluntarily admitted that I entered the urban area of my own volition!"
Then, Long Yue turned around and looked at Long Xingbang lying on the ground.
"Brother, do you know that kind of pain? You can't possibly understand! Because you're a man, the hope of the whole family! But we women don't have that chance! From birth, we're destined to be abandoned!"
Long Xingbang lay helplessly on the ground, pleading softly.
After a long while, Long Yue put down her wine glass and gently waved to the person behind her.
"Don't make my brother suffer too much! Send out the announcement in a bit!"
After saying this, Long Xingbang immediately twisted his body and began to struggle, but the ropes binding his hands and feet were too strong.
He tried his best but couldn't break free, and could only let the guards remove him from the office.
"No! Yueyue! No!"
The sound grew fainter and fainter, and there was no pity in Long Yue's eyes, as if she had just executed a dead dog.
Then, the window of the next room opened, and a person was thrown down from upstairs, accompanied by painful screams.
With a "bang".
The door to Lu Yuan's office was suddenly opened.
Looking up, I saw Hei Zi walk in with a mixture of relief and frustration on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Hei Zi slammed a newspaper onto Lu Yuan's desk.
"Look at this! Before he died, Long Xingbang admitted that the flooding in the industrial zone was his doing, so he committed suicide by jumping off a building! This is utter bullshit! Everyone knows that Long Yue orchestrated this!"
Lu Yuan picked up the newspaper and looked at it. He saw that the headline in the middle was written in bold.
"The young master of the Long Corporation committed suicide out of fear of punishment. Before his death, he confessed his crimes. Evil people will eventually get their just deserts!"
After reading these words, Lu Yuan chuckled: "Sigh! I have to say, this woman is truly venomous! The saying 'the most poisonous heart is a woman' is no exaggeration!"
Hei Zi rolled his eyes: "Don't generalize! Our Yanzi is an example! She's put in so much effort for so many children!"
"Wow! You're already doing this before you're even married! You're something else!"
"Get out! I'm just stating the facts!"
Then Hei Zi sat down on the sofa next to Lu Yuan's desk, took out a cigarette, lit it, and said, "Are we just going to let her go like this? The culprit is still at large!"
Lu Yuan waved his hand: "Our biggest problem right now isn't Long Yue, but how to escape! I've already looked at the evacuation route Uncle Chen gave me, and after studying it, there's simply no way out from here! The exits are heavily guarded! It seems we need to come up with another way to leave!"
Hei Zi nodded: "Yeah! This is the only way. Should we just charge through?"
"No! Charging through would result in too many casualties! The garrison there is extremely well-trained! Going through without permission would be suicide! Besides, gun control here is very strict, and we don't have enough weapons and ammunition to get there!"
"What should we do then? We can't just stay here forever, can we?"
Lu Yuan sighed, "Let's think of another way! There's still time! We just need to get out before the end of December! By the way, has the Long Group retaliated against us?"
"Not yet! But a new broom sweeps clean, and Long Yue is a very cunning woman, so we should prepare in advance!"
"Yes! That's right! By the way, from what angles can the Long Group wage war against us now?"
Hei Zi held his cigarette butt and thought for a while: "A military solution is impossible. There's no way a war can break out among the middle ranks now. The casualties from a war would endanger the entire middle ranks. If Long Yue isn't an idiot, she definitely won't do that!"
After stubbing out his cigarette, Hei Zi thought for a moment and said, "That's right! It's food! The Long Group currently controls 90% of the food in the middle-level district and the urban area, and the remaining 10% is in the hands of their vassal forces! I suspect that if they were to make a move, they would definitely start by attacking us on the food front!"
"Alright! More food! Looks like we need to prepare in advance!"
Then Lu Yuan turned on his computer and checked some data within the company.
