Father Su's heart sank little by little. This alone was enough to make the Su family suffer. If they didn't die, they would at least be skinned alive.
"Secondly," Jiang Tingchen's eyes sharpened, as if he was staring at something, "Ms. Su Yao, you must leave Xue'er's sight forever. I don't want to see her appear in front of Xue'er in any form again, disturbing her, and I will not allow her to hurt Xue'er in the slightest. President Su, you should understand what I mean."
Father Su's breath paused. He understood that Jiang Tingchen was issuing a death order. It was not just a business blow, but also a personal warning.
For Ning Nanxue, Jiang Tingchen would do anything.
"If President Su can't do it, or thinks I'm joking," Jiang Tingchen's voice turned colder, "then I don't mind making the Su Group disappear from this industry completely. Believe me, I have the ability and the patience."
Father Su leaned weakly on the wide chair and closed his eyes.
He knew that Jiang Tingchen could do what he said. Huayun Group was so huge that the Su family was no match for them.
He had been scheming all his life, but in the end, he might lose everything because of his daughter's mischief and his own momentary confusion.
After a long while, Father Su opened his eyes, his eyes were full of red bloodshot, and he squeezed out a few words in a hoarse voice: "I promise you. As for Su Yao... I will take care of it."
"I hope President Su can do what he says." Jiang Tingchen stood up and looked at Su's father calmly, "For Xue'er, I will not be soft-hearted. If Su Yao makes any more small moves, President Su, you will face more than just the bankruptcy of the Su Group."
After saying that, Jiang Tingchen turned around and left with his lawyer without even looking at Su's father.
In the study, only Father Su was left, and the air was filled with the smell of despair. He knew that in order to preserve the Su family's assets, he had to make a heartbreaking decision.
Jiang Tingchen had just sounded the alarm for the Su family when Fu Chen's "finishing blow" came right after.
Just two days later, a piece of news was like a thunderclap, causing a stir in the entire financial circle and social media.
The headlines on all major news websites reported the same thing with bold headlines: "Su Yao, the daughter of the Su family, is suspected of falsifying data and attempting to seize a huge amount of equity in the Fu Group!"
In the report, an "informed person who wishes to remain anonymous" broke the news that during the period of cooperation between Su Yao and Fu Chen, she took advantage of the cash flow difficulties of the Fu Group and secretly operated, trying to transfer a large number of shares of the Fu Group to the name of a shell company under her control through shady means such as forging financial statements and tampering with equity agreements.
Although the report did not provide any hard evidence, the words between the lines said that Su Yao was a sinister and greedy person.
The Fu Group also quickly issued an official statement. The statement was carefully worded, stating that the Fu Group reserves the right to pursue legal responsibility for certain recent "false rumors" and "malicious business practices," and has launched an investigation into "internal business information leaks and third-party attempts to infringe upon the company's interests through improper means."
Although the statement did not directly mention Su Yao's name, combined with the previous revelations of those "insiders", even a fool would know who it was talking about.
In Fu Chen's office.
Secretary Chen stood aside: "Mr. Fu, everything has been arranged. The media has also received 'further information provided anonymously'. The name Su Yao is now tied to words such as 'commercial fraud' and 'repaying kindness with enmity'."
Fu Chen held his coffee cup, looking out the window at the busy traffic, his face expressionless: "Is there any movement at the Su family?"
Secretary Chen replied, "I'm afraid Father Su is already extremely worried. First, there was the patent issue with Jiang Tingchen, and now there's this news from us. Su's stock price plummeted to the limit as soon as the market opened today. Several companies that originally had intentions to cooperate with Su have called us to inquire about the situation, and their implicit message is that they want to reconsider their cooperation."
Fu Chen snorted lightly: "Very good. The Su family's broken ship is too heavy. I don't want to be dragged down by them."
As a result, not only did Su Yao become a complete joke and abandoned child in Fu Chen's eyes, but the entire Su family's business reputation also plummeted to the bottom.
On the Internet, there was an overwhelming amount of criticism against Su Yao and the Su family.
"Is this true? Is the eldest daughter of the Su family crazy? After failing to steal a man, she's now trying to steal the company?"
"The Su family's tutoring is really...tsk tsk tsk, can such a person be trained as an heir? No wonder the Su family has been half-dead all these years, the roots are rotten!"
"Serves her right! She deserves to be left with nothing!"
The Su family’s phone was almost blown up. Some came to question them, and some came to announce the cancellation of the cooperation. Su’s father didn’t even have a chance to explain. He could only watch the Su family step by step towards the abyss.
The Su family’s phone lines were about to melt, with all kinds of voices mixed together. Some people came angrily to demand an explanation, while others coldly announced the termination of cooperation.
Father Su couldn't even get a word in to defend himself and could only let those cold words push the Su family into bottomless darkness.
The night was a little too late.
Ning Nanxue's phone screen lit up in the silence, an unfamiliar number flashing. She swiped to answer it.
"Hello? Excuse me... Is this Miss Ning Nanxue?" A man's voice on the other end of the phone was very low and trembling uncontrollably.
Ning Nanxue's voice was calm: "I am."
"I," the man stuttered, speaking rapidly, "I'm the private detective that Su Yao... Miss Su hired me to take your photo! Miss Ning, listen to me, Su Yao, she's simply not a human! Now that both President Jiang and President Fu have taken action against the Su family, the Su family is about to collapse! I don't want to be dragged down by that crazy woman!"
The man's voice was full of fear, as if Su Yao was holding a knife behind him.
Ning Nanxue's eyebrows moved slightly: "So?"
"Those things! The original documents she photoshopped your photo into, and the bank records of her transferring money to me—all crystal clear! I still have them!" The man seemed to have grasped at a lifeline. "I swear, I was bewitched at the time and accepted the money to do the job, but I didn't expect her to be so bold and dare to forge things so blatantly! Now the fire has spread to the Su family themselves, I'm scared to death!"
Ning Nanxue's lips curled up slightly: "What do you want?"
"I don't want anything! Really, Miss Ning, I don't want a penny!" The man was so anxious that he almost jumped up, "I'm just scared! I'll give you all these things, I just ask for your mercy and don't give me away. I'm just trying to make a living, I have parents and children to support, I really don't want to spend the rest of my life on this trivial matter. Su Yao is the kind of person who turns her back on you, I'm afraid she will bite me back!"
"Email." Ning Nanxue's voice was flat as she gave an email address that was not commonly used.
"Okay, okay! I'll send it right away, I'll send it right away! Thank you, Miss Ning, thank you for your magnanimity!" The other party seemed to have received a special pardon. After thanking him repeatedly, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
