Who's going to be the female lead's simp? Aren't the supporting female characters mor

At two in the morning, the wind in Beijing carried a biting chill, scraping across the construction site fence of Deep Blue Future City like a knife.

There is no glamorous scene as portrayed by the media here, only the terrifying silhouettes of giant tower cranes cast in the night.

Several searchlights mechanically scanned the surroundings, their beams drawing pale streaks of light through the dusty air.

The blinds of the temporary command center were parted by two slender fingers.

Ye Lingqing held a cup of steaming black tea in her hand, her eyes colder than the night outside the window.

"A total of four waves came."

Ye Lingqing turned around and slammed her cup heavily on the desk, spilling a few drops of tea. "Bai Jingyou, do you think my security company is a garbage dump? Is that old man from the Jiang family senile, thinking this is a police thriller?"

Bai Jingyou was sitting in the chair opposite him, peeling an orange.

Hearing Ye Lingqing's complaint, he showed no remorse. Instead, he handed her a peeled orange segment: "Try it? Chen Mo got it from the south, it's quite sweet."

Ye Lingqing didn't answer, looking at him coldly: "Stop joking with me. Do you know that if even a single spark gets into the materials warehouse tonight, Black Sword Security will become the laughingstock of the entire capital tomorrow? Then, even before Deep Blue Technology goes bankrupt, the board of directors will be in an uproar."

"So you couldn't get in?"

Bai Jingyou stuffed an orange into his mouth and mumbled, "This proves that General Ye is a good leader. Four groups of people didn't even cross the one-meter red line of the wall before they were carried out like chickens. If this is announced, Black Sword Security's orders next year will double."

"Don't give me that." Ye Lingqing pulled out a chair and sat down, her brows furrowed. "The person has already been interrogated. As you expected, he had no identification, no cell phone, and even that was a single-line contact. Even if we hand him over to the police, it'll just be a case of disorderly conduct; it won't touch the Jiang family at all."

This is Grandpa Jiang's method.

It's dirty, but it works.

If successful, the construction of Deep Blue Future City will be delayed, the funding chain will break, and because it is a safety incident, the bank will immediately reassess the risk, which may even trigger a chain reaction.

If they fail, it will only result in the loss of a few lowly pawns who are paid to do their bidding; the Jiang family will remain high and mighty.

"Who said I was going to hand them over to the police?" Bai Jingyou wiped his hands, his eyes playful. "The police are very busy. Don't go and make trouble for them when they can't catch the mastermind."

Ye Lingqing raised an eyebrow: "So what do you plan to do? Release them?"

"Let it go? That would be such a waste."

Bai Jingyou stood up and walked to the row of surveillance screens. On the screens, dozens of high-definition images covered every corner of the construction site without any blind spots. In one of the images, several men in black with their hands tied behind their backs were being stuffed into a van without license plates and taken away.

"Edit tonight's surveillance video." Bai Jingyou's fingertip lightly swept across the screen. "Especially the whole process of them trying to climb over the wall, being locked on by infrared thermal imaging, and then being gently subdued by our security personnel. Remember to make sure the Black Sword Security logo is prominently displayed."

"What do you want to do?" Ye Lingqing had a vague sense of unease.

"Send it to the insurance companies." Bai Jingyou turned his head, revealing a set of neat white teeth. "All the commercial insurance companies in Beijing."

Ye Lingqing was taken aback for a moment, then her pupils contracted slightly: "You mean...?"

"The Jiang Group has two core businesses: real estate and logistics." Bai Jingyou's voice was calm, yet it revealed a deep-seated calculation. "What's the biggest fear of logistics parks? Fire. Since the Jiang family likes playing with fire so much, I'll give them a hand."

He paced back and forth in the room, speaking at a measured pace:

"I will send a letter on behalf of DeepBlue Technology to all insurance institutions in the industry, praising Black Sword Security's professionalism and attaching to tonight's combat video. I will emphasize that the business competition environment in Beijing has deteriorated recently, and there have been malicious acts of arson and sabotage."

"Those actuaries at insurance companies have noses like dogs. Once they see this kind of video and sense the risk of arson, guess what they'll do?"

Ye Lingqing took a deep breath, her eyes filled with apprehension as she looked at Bai Jingyou: "They will raise the premium standards for the entire industry. Moreover, they will focus on investigating all high-risk companies."

Bai Jingyou snapped his fingers. "And as the instigator of all this, if rumors unfortunately spread that the Jiang family's logistics park has an aging security system and fire hazards... how much do you think their insurance premiums will increase? Fifty percent? Or will they double?"

"What's even more interesting is," Bai Jingyou's smile deepened, "that the Jiang family's logistics park seems to use an old-fashioned security system from twenty years ago, right? In an insurance company's risk assessment model, that's a leaky sieve."

That was a really vicious move.

The Jiang family wanted to burn down Bai Jingyou's construction site, but Bai Jingyou retaliated by burning the Jiang family's insurance policies.

Moreover, this is an open conspiracy.

To mitigate risk, the insurance company will definitely cooperate with Bai Jingyou's pace.

At that time, the Jiang family will not only face exorbitant insurance premiums, but also the ensuing crisis of customer trust. Who would dare to store tens of millions of dollars worth of goods in a logistics park that could be maliciously set on fire and has extremely poor security?

"It's a real shame you're not a terrorist with that kind of brain," Ye Lingqing commented honestly, but her furrowed brows finally relaxed. "I'll handle this. Black Sword Security has connections in the insurance industry, and this internal risk warning letter will be on the desks of executives at major insurance companies by tomorrow morning."

"It's a pleasure doing business with you." Bai Jingyou raised his cup of now-cold instant coffee. "By the way, have Chen Mo take care of those people who were arrested. Give them some travel expenses and send them to Haicheng."

"Haicheng?" Ye Lingqing asked, puzzled. "Why Haicheng?"

"The Bai family still needs a few gatekeepers in Haicheng," Bai Jingyou shrugged. "Since they're quite skilled, it's good to make use of them. After all, I'm not some kind of devil."

Ye Lingqing rolled her eyes, turned around and left: "You can stay here and starve, I'm going back to catch up on my sleep. Also, the security fee will be increased by 30%, consider tonight as overtime."

"Deduct it from those three hundred million." Bai Jingyou waved generously.

As Bai Jingyou watched Ye Lingqing's figure disappear through the doorway, the smile on his face gradually faded.

"Boss."

Chen Mo, who had been standing in the corner like an invisible man, stepped out, holding a tablet computer. "We just detected abnormal data flow on the Jiang Group's internal network. It seems the old man knows tonight's operation has failed and is transferring assets."

"The old fox has a keen sense of smell." Bai Jingyou took the tablet and looked at the data stream jumping on it. "However, if he wants to run away, he'll have to ask the heavens if they'll allow it."

"Inform Lin Lanfeng," Bai Jingyou's gaze deepened, "that he can go and cause some trouble for the Jiang family."

Chen Mo pushed up his glasses, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "Now? Isn't it too early? Although the Jiang family's stock price has fallen, it's still within the safe range."

"It's getting late." Bai Jingyou walked to the window and looked in the direction of the Jiang Group building in the distance, where lights were still faintly lit.

"If the Jiang family wants to use physical annihilation, then I'll show them what a dimensional reduction attack really is."

Bai Jingyou's voice was deep and menacing, like a demon emerging from hell whispering: "If the Jiang family's logistics system suddenly goes on strike for an hour, do you think the supermarkets in Beijing will run out of supplies tomorrow?"

Chen Mo's hand trembled slightly.

Is the dispatch system malfunctioning?

"Won't this... cause too much of a stir?" Chen Mo hesitated.

"Big?" Bai Jingyou laughed, his eyes devoid of any warmth. "When they were causing trouble for me, they should have known that those who play with fire will get burned."

"Go ahead and do it. Do it cleanly, so no one can find any fault with it. Just say it's... a system upgrade malfunction."

"Yes." Chen Mo bowed his head to accept the order and turned to leave.

Bai Jingyou was the only one left in the room.

He looked out at the dark night sky, took a coin out of his pocket, and flipped it between his fingers.

……

The next morning, the capital city did not see any signs of slowing down despite the undercurrents that had been brewing overnight.

But the financial and logistics sectors were in an uproar.

An internal document titled "Assessment of Security Risk Levels for Commercial Warehousing in Beijing" has been circulating widely among senior executives of major insurance companies.

The document details several recent attempted arson cases and includes high-definition video screenshots.

Although the perpetrator was not named, all the evidence pointed to vicious business competition.

Following this, several major insurance companies jointly announced that they would reassess the risks of some logistics parks in Beijing with outdated security facilities, and proposed to increase premiums by 80%, and require that some claims clauses be suspended until the rectification is completed.

Jiang's Group Headquarters.

"Bang!"

Grandpa Jiang's purple clay teapot, which he had used for more than ten years, ultimately could not escape the fate of being smashed to pieces.

"This is outrageous! This is outrageous!"

Old Master Jiang was trembling with anger. Pointing at the row of executives standing in front of him, he shouted, "What are you all doing? Huh? Raising premiums by 80%? Are we going to have to throw our entire year's profits into working for the insurance company?"

"Chairman, this isn't even the worst part..."

The logistics manager wiped away cold sweat, his voice trembling: "Just now... just now many major clients called, saying they'd heard rumors and were worried about the safety of our park, demanding early termination of contracts or that we purchase full commercial insurance..."

"Then go buy it!" Old Master Jiang roared.

"We can't...we can't buy it." The general manager was almost in tears. "Several major insurance companies said that our system is too outdated. Unless we completely replace it with...replace it with DeepBlue Technology's intelligent security system, they will refuse to insure us."

The air froze instantly.

Grandpa Jiang looked as if someone had grabbed his neck, his face turning a deep purplish-red.

After going around in circles, it ended up back in Bai Jingyou's hands?

To preserve our logistics business, we have to use the enemy's system?

This is not just giving money; it's practically handing the Jiang family their necks over to Bai Jingyou's dog chain!

"Well... well done, Bai Jingyou."

Grandpa Jiang slumped into his chair, and for the first time, genuine fear appeared in his eyes.

That young man was by no means a greenhorn.

That was a wolf that devoured people without spitting out the bones.

Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Jiang Feng rushed in, losing a shoe in the process: "Grandpa! Something terrible has happened!"

"What is it now!" Old Master Jiang gets a headache whenever he hears Jiang Feng's voice.

"System! Logistics dispatch system!" Jiang Feng, pale-faced, held up his phone. "Our main control center suddenly crashed! All the trucks aren't receiving any instructions and are now stuck on the Fifth Ring Road!"
