I can see the commodity price curve

A senior executive broke the silence first: "Mr. Zhang, I think the most important task right now is to cooperate with the police investigation into the cause of the fire."

At the same time, assess the losses to see if subsequent production can make up for the shortfall in time.

Another senior executive chimed in, "That's right, and we can't just let the Miller family off the hook either."

This fire might be related to them too; we need to investigate discreetly.

Zhang Yue nodded, his eyes revealing determination: "Immediately arrange for someone to investigate the cause of the fire and assess the damage."

As for the Miller family, we cannot sit idly by and wait for our doom.

Since they've resorted to such despicable means, let's give them a taste of their own medicine.

The group exchanged bewildered glances, and one of the senior executives said with concern, "Mr. Zhang, isn't this too risky?"

"If they catch us doing something wrong, we'll be in big trouble."

Zhang Yue sneered: "What are you afraid of? If we don't take the initiative, they will only become more aggressive."

However, we can't act recklessly; we need to find the right time and method.

Just then, the secretary hurriedly walked in and handed Zhang Yue a document: "Mr. Zhang, this is a message we just received."

The Miller family recently had an important shipment of wine destined for Europe, passing through one of our ports.

Zhang Yue's eyes lit up, and he took the document and began to read it carefully.

A moment later, a cold smile appeared on his lips: "The opportunity has come. We'll make a fuss about this shipment."

Everyone crowded around, and Zhang Yue pointed to the information on the document and said:

"Their goods are quite valuable, and we have control over the transportation route and time."

We can arrange for someone to sabotage the port, so they can also experience the pain of heavy losses.

A senior executive hesitated and said, "Mr. Zhang, isn't this too obvious? It'll be easy for them to find out that we did it."

Zhang Yue said confidently, "Don't worry, we won't personally show up."

Find some reliable intermediaries and let them handle the operation.

Moreover, we must do it discreetly, leaving them with no way to complain.

After some discussion, everyone finally reached a consensus.

Zhang Yue immediately arranged for people to contact the middleman and formulate a detailed plan.

Over the next few days, Zhang Yue kept track of the progress of the fire investigation while also closely monitoring the Miller family's cargo transportation.

The fire investigation results suggest that the fire was most likely arson, but there is currently no conclusive evidence pointing to the Miller family.

Meanwhile, the Miller family's cargo transportation is proceeding as planned.

Finally, the day arrived when the goods arrived at the port.

Zhang Yue arrived early at a secluded spot near the port and observed the port's activity through binoculars.

One after another, cargo ships slowly entered the port, and the Miller family's goods were neatly stacked on the dock.

A group of workers are busy moving goods.

At that moment, several figures that looked like ordinary workers quietly approached the goods.

They tampered with the goods and then quickly left.

A moment later, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the port.

It turned out that a shipment of goods belonging to the Miller family suddenly collapsed during transport, breaking a large number of bottles and spilling wine all over the ground.

The Miller family panicked and tried to organize a rescue effort, but it was too late.

Seeing the mess on the ground, the head of the Miller family was furious.

Zhang Yue watched this scene from a distance, secretly pleased with himself.

He knew this was just a small lesson for the Miller family.

However, the story does not end there.

The Miller family quickly realized something was amiss and began a covert investigation into the cargo damage.

After some investigation, they gradually turned their suspicions toward Zhang Yue's company.

One day, Zhang Yue was processing documents in his office when his secretary suddenly rushed in, flustered:
"Mr. Zhang, this is terrible! The Miller family has come to our door. They say we deliberately damaged their goods and are demanding compensation for the losses."

Zhang Yue's heart tightened, but he remained outwardly calm: "Let them in. I want to see what evidence they can produce."

A short while later, several members of the Miller family stormed into the office.

The leader pointed at Zhang Yue's nose and said, "Zhang Yue, don't think we don't know what you've done."

You deliberately damaged our goods; we will settle this score with you.

Zhang Yue sneered: "What evidence do you have to prove that I did it? Don't make baseless accusations here."

The man took out some photos and documents and threw them on the table: "These are the evidence."

We found some suspicious clues at the scene, and after investigation, they all pointed to your company.

Zhang Yue picked up the photos and documents and looked at them, secretly surprised.

I didn’t expect the Miller family to find so many clues so quickly.

But he remained calm and composed: "These so-called pieces of evidence prove nothing at all."

"Perhaps someone is deliberately framing our company."

The two sides got into a heated argument.

Just then, Zhang Yue's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID; it was the police calling.

"Mr. Zhang, there is new progress in the fire investigation."

We found a key witness who testified that the Miller family ordered the arson.

The police could be heard on the other end of the phone.

Zhang Yue was overjoyed. He hung up the phone and looked at the Miller family members, saying, "Do you think you can control everything?"
The police have obtained evidence that you committed arson.

Now, it's your turn to pay the price for what you've done.

The leader of the Miller family was taken aback, but quickly regained his composure: "Stop talking nonsense!"

What key witness? You've definitely conspired to frame us.

"Our Miller family acts with integrity and honesty; how could we possibly commit such a despicable act as arson!"

Zhang Yue's sneer deepened as he showed his phone screen, displaying a summary of some witness testimonies sent by the police:
"The evidence is conclusive, and you still want to deny it?"

The police have gathered sufficient evidence that you set the fire to suppress our company and seize market share. The evidence is now before us; there's no room for excuses!

The Miller family members exchanged glances, and the leader snorted:
"Who knows if this so-called testimony is fabricated?"

"Perhaps you fabricated this on purpose to shirk responsibility."

Zhang Yue crossed his arms and stared at them sharply: "The police are always meticulous in handling cases. How could they allow us to fabricate evidence at will?"
If you don't believe me, you're welcome to go to the police station for a confrontation.

However, I advise you to admit your mistakes as soon as possible and try to get a lighter sentence.

Otherwise, if things escalate, the Miller family's reputation will be completely ruined.

The Miller family members began whispering among themselves. After a moment, the leader spoke up loudly, "Even if there is such a witness, it doesn't prove that we ordered it."

Perhaps someone is deliberately trying to sow discord between our two families, hoping to reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

Zhang Yue took a step forward, his imposing aura radiating: "Even at this point, you're still trying to argue."

The fact that the police were able to locate you means they have a sufficient chain of evidence.

Do you think you can escape legal punishment by denying it? Don't dream about it!

At this moment, the secretary hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in Zhang Yue's ear.

Zhang Yue nodded slightly, then looked at the Miller family members:
"The police are already preparing to summon your family members. If you turn yourself in now, you may still be able to retain some semblance of dignity."

"If we wait for the police to come, things won't look good."

The Miller family members hesitated upon hearing this.

The leader gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Yue, don't be too smug."

As the saying goes, the innocent will clear themselves. We will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and clear our family's name.

Furthermore, the fact that you brought people to sabotage our wine will absolutely not be left unaddressed.

Let's see! "

After saying that, he turned and left the office with the others.

Zhang Yue watched their departing figures, a disdainful smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

After the Miller family left, Zhang Yue immediately convened a meeting with the company's senior management.

The atmosphere in the conference room was tense yet tinged with excitement.

Zhang Yue looked around at everyone and said, "Now the police have evidence of arson by the Miller family, which is a good opportunity for us to fight back."

However, the Miller family certainly won't let this go easily; they'll likely continue to sabotage things behind the scenes. Everyone needs to be prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.

A senior executive frowned and said, "Mr. Zhang, although the police have evidence, the Miller family has enormous power."

What should we do if they use their connections to interfere with the police investigation or retaliate against us?

Zhang Yue's eyes were firm, and he said resolutely, "Of course we will fight them to the bitter end."

First, we must fully cooperate with the police and provide them with all the assistance they need.

To ensure the case proceeds smoothly and that the Miller family receives the punishment they deserve.

Secondly, we need to strengthen the company's security measures in response to their retaliation.

At the same time, specific personnel were assigned to monitor the Miller family's movements, and action would be taken immediately should any unusual activity be detected.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

In the days that followed, Zhang Yue actively communicated with the police to understand the progress of the case, while also strengthening internal management and raising vigilance within the company.

As Zhang Yue had predicted, the Miller family began to make moves everywhere.

They used all their connections to try to pressure the police and get the case closed.

At the same time, they secretly sent people to investigate Zhang Yue's company's trade secrets, preparing to deliver a fatal blow at the right time.

One day, Zhang Yue was on the phone with the police in his office, getting the latest updates on the investigation.

Suddenly, the secretary rushed in, looking flustered, and said, "Mr. Zhang, something terrible has happened!"
A batch of important customer data from our company has been leaked.

Several of our clients have received low-price cooperation offers from competitors, and some are already wavering and considering ending their partnerships with us.

Zhang Yue's heart sank; he immediately realized that this was a form of revenge from the Miller family.

He suppressed his anger and calmly told his secretary, "Don't panic. Activate the emergency plan immediately and arrange for someone to communicate with the clients and calm them down."

At the same time, the source of the leaked investigation data must be identified and the mastermind behind it brought to justice.

After the secretary left to carry out the order, Zhang Yue fell into deep thought.

He knew that the competition had reached a fever pitch, and if he was not careful, the company would be doomed.

Just then, my phone rang again; it was the police calling.

“Mr. Zhang, it seems the Miller family has become aware of the direction of our investigation.”

They began destroying some key evidence, and our investigation encountered significant resistance.

Zhang Yue frowned and said, "Officers, you must find a way to break through their defenses."

I will arrange for company personnel to fully cooperate with you and provide all possible assistance.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yue immediately summoned the company's technical and legal personnel to discuss countermeasures with the police.

Zhang Yue asked, "Everyone, what do you think we should do?"

One of the technicians spoke first: "Mr. Zhang, I think we can start from the technical aspect."

The Miller family likely destroyed evidence using electronic devices.

We can try to trace the network paths and device information they used when they destroyed the evidence.

Although this is very difficult, as long as there is even the slightest clue, we may be able to find a breakthrough.

A senior executive added, "We can also leverage the power of the media."

We should appropriately expose the Miller family's arson, subsequent destruction of evidence, and retaliatory actions against our company to draw public attention.

This would make them more cautious and less likely to blatantly interfere with the police investigation, and it would also garner some public support for our company.

Zhang Yue nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "I'll leave the technical tracking to you technicians. Make sure you do your best."

Even if there is only a one percent chance, we must put in one hundred percent effort.

As for the media, the public relations department will handle it.

However, it's important to maintain a proper balance and avoid over-exaggeration to prevent unnecessary trouble.

"In addition," Zhang Yue said, glancing at everyone, "the company's internal security measures cannot be relaxed either."

The fact that the Miller family was able to leak our customer information means that there are still vulnerabilities in our security system.

Technical staff must conduct a comprehensive inspection and upgrade of the company's network and information security as soon as possible to prevent them from succeeding again.

Everyone accepted the order and began to get busy.

However, the Miller family was not to be trifled with.

They noticed Zhang Yue's company's actions and intensified their pressure on it.

Not only did they continue to vie for customers commercially, they also secretly instigated some suppliers to stop cooperating with Zhang Yue's company, attempting to bring Zhang Yue's production to a standstill.

Zhang Yue faced immense pressure, but he never backed down.

He is busy at the company every day, coordinating the work of all parties.

One day, a technician excitedly ran into Zhang Yue's office: "Mr. Zhang, we've found it!"
During our tracking process, we discovered a suspicious network node. After further investigation, we found that this node was related to a core member of the Miller family.

Furthermore, we found some data fragments that had been deleted but not completely destroyed. After recovery, this data could very well become crucial evidence.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Yue's eyes: "That's great!"

"Immediately inform the police of these findings and let them investigate along this lead." (End of Chapter)
