Half an hour later, at the Chen Group headquarters building.
Top floor, CEO's office.
Chen Yuqi pushed open the door and entered, her face showing undisguised fatigue and solemnity.
As she walked along, the company employees, seeing her like this, all tactfully bowed their heads in greeting, not daring to say a word.
Anyone could see that this usually gentle and charming female CEO was in a terrible mood today, as if shrouded in a dark cloud.
The office is spacious and bright, with a modern yet simple and elegant design.
However, Chen Yuqi was not in the mood to appreciate any of this at the moment.
She walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the bustling metropolis below, but her heart felt cold.
His gaze inadvertently swept over his spotless mahogany desk.
Um?
Her brows furrowed slightly.
In the very center of the table lay a pure white envelope.
There was no signature or markings.
It looks like a prank.
But Chen Yuqi's heart skipped a beat for no reason, and an ominous premonition rose within her.
Her private office is under extremely tight security; no outsider can enter without her permission.
Even a trusted secretary wouldn't casually leave unidentified items on her desk when she's not around.
This letter appeared so strangely!
She walked over slowly, her fair fingers gently picking up the envelope.
It was very light; there seemed to be only one piece of paper inside.
She hesitated for a moment, but eventually opened the envelope.
Inside, there was indeed only a folded A4 sheet of paper.
Upon unfolding, what comes into view are a few lines of printed text. The font is ordinary Song typeface, yet it exudes a chilling coldness and malice.
"Miss Chen, you must already know what happened to the Zhao family."
"Some troubles are not for you to get involved in."
"If you're smart, you'll know what to do."
“Sever all ties with that man, or the Zhao family’s fate will be the Chen family’s fate.”
"We don't want to make a big fuss. Leave a way out for your family and for yourself."
The words are filled with blatant threats!
Although the man wasn't explicitly named, Chen Yuqi understood instantly!
They really came for Qin Yang!
Moreover, the other party clearly already knew about her relationship with Qin Yang!
A chill, even more biting than before, instantly swept over her entire body.
Are they from one of the seven major families?
Or... is it someone else?
No matter who it was, this letter was like a sword hanging over her head, making her feel unprecedented pressure and fear.
The fate of the Zhao family is still fresh in our minds, and their threat to use the Chen family's future is no exaggeration!
She had just made up her mind to cut ties with Qin Yang when this threatening letter arrived!
Is it a coincidence?
Chen Yuqi gripped the paper tightly, her fingertips turning bloodless from the force.
She felt a wave of weakness wash over her.
In the face of these behemoths, the so-called eldest daughter of the Chen family, the so-called business prodigy, appears so small and fragile.
The other party clearly didn't want to take action immediately, but rather wanted to force her to compromise, to force her to stay away from Qin Yang, or even... possibly have other purposes.
To compromise?
Once this thought arises, it grows wildly like a vine.
She couldn't gamble with the fate of the entire Chen family!
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress all her fear and hesitation.
When she opened her eyes again, her gaze fell on the bottom of the letter.
There was only a simple contact phone number there.
No unnecessary words.
Chen Yuqi's expression kept changing as she struggled for a long time.
Finally, a hint of helplessness and bitterness crept onto the corners of her mouth.
Ultimately, she couldn't be like Qin Yang, so unrestrained and quick to seek revenge.
She has her responsibilities and her concerns.
She walked to her desk and picked up the internal encrypted phone.
This type of phone can prevent tracking and wiretapping to the greatest extent possible.
Her fingers trembled slightly as she pressed the keys, but she still managed to press each number on the letter one by one.
The call was connected.
The waiting tone came through the receiver, each sound like a hammer blow to her heart.
Finally, the call was answered.
"Hello?"
A processed voice rang out, deep and hoarse, its gender and age indistinguishable, carrying a deliberate coldness and indifference.
Chen Yuqi tightened her grip on the receiver, trying to keep her voice steady.
"I am Chen Yuqi." Her voice trembled slightly.
"I know." The other person's answer was concise and direct, as if they had everything under control.
"I received the letter." Chen Yuqi tried to keep her tone calm, even with a hint of negotiation.
What do you want?
"hehe……"
A low, cold laugh, devoid of any humor, came from the other end of the phone.
"Miss Chen is indeed a smart person."
"Our requirements are very simple."
"First, 50 percent of the Chen Group's profits for the next five years must be transferred to the account we designate."
"What?"
Chen Yuqi's pupils constricted sharply, and she gasped in shock!
Fifty percent profit? And it has to continue for five years?
This is outrageous! They're sucking the Chen family dry!
This is even more vicious than outright robbery!
"What? Miss Chen, do you think it's too much?"
That cold voice carried a hint of mockery.
