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

At the same time, at the headquarters of the Li Group.

The chairman's office on the top floor was deathly silent, broken only occasionally by the rumble of thunder outside the window.

Li Jianguo sat behind his large desk, like a weathered stone statue.

Before him, CFO Wang Fang was kneeling on the ground, trembling, clutching the latest cash flow report tightly in her hand.

"You mean..." Li Jianguo began slowly, his voice hoarse as if sandpaper scraping across a table, "that the two billion in the account is down to less than three hundred million?"

"Yes...yes, Chairman," Wang Fang said, her voice trembling with tears. "Young General Manager Li...no, Vice President Li, in just four hours tonight, used online banking and emergency payment channels to make advance payments totaling 1.7 billion to six suppliers. He said...that it's to secure a price advantage for next year; it's a strategic reserve..."

"Snapped!"

Li Jianguo suddenly grabbed the purple clay teapot on the table and smashed it hard in front of Wang Fang.

The scalding tea splashed all over her, but she didn't dare to move.

"Strategic reserves?! A prepayment of 1.7 billion?!" Li Jianguo trembled with rage, pointing his finger at Wang Fang's nose and roaring, "What are you good for! Why didn't you report such a large transfer of funds to me? Why wasn't it approved by the board of directors?!"

"Chairman, I...I want to report this!" Wang Fang cried out, "But Vice President Li has your authorization letter, which states that he is fully responsible for the allocation of funds in the supply chain, and that no approval is required for amounts under 500 million. He...he split 1.7 billion into 400 million in a single transaction and transferred it out in batches! And he said...if I don't sign, he'll send my whole family to jail, saying I did something wrong with the accounts before..."

Li Jianguo felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, as if his chest had been struck heavily by a sledgehammer.

He reached for the medicine bottle with trembling hands, but because his hands were shaking so badly, the bottle rolled to the ground.

It’s over.

It's all over.

That two billion was a life-saving sum obtained by selling off ancestral property! The original plan was to use this money to repay half of the bank loan, and the rest to maintain operations.

Now look what's happened, that beast Li He squandered it all in one night!

And will those suppliers actually deliver the goods after they've received the money?

Although Li Jianguo is old, he is not stupid.

At this critical juncture, anyone who dares to prepay the full amount to a company on the verge of bankruptcy is either a fool or a madman, unless... there's a huge scheme involved!

"Li He... Li He..." Li Jianguo gritted his teeth, muttering the name, his eyes filled with regret and resentment. "I was so blind! I let a wolf into the house! I let a wolf into the house!"

Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Reeking of alcohol and disheveled, Li Zifeng stumbled in.

He had several bruises on his face, clearly from his time at the nightclub.

"Dad! Dad, you have to save me!" Li Zifeng threw himself at Li Jianguo's feet, hugging his leg and sobbing uncontrollably. "Brother Biao and his gang wanted to cut off my hand! I owe them five million... Dad, give me five million, just five million!"

Looking at his good-for-nothing son, and thinking of his nephew who had sold him off so badly he had nothing left, Li Jianguo suddenly felt a deep sense of despair.

"roll!"

Li Jianguo kicked Li Zifeng in the shoulder and roared with all his might, "Get out of here! The Li family is broke! Not a single penny left!"

Li Zifeng was kicked to the ground, stunned: "No money? How is that possible? Didn't we just sell land for two billion?"

"Li He took it all! That beast took it all!" Li Jianguo slumped back in his chair, two streams of tears flowing down his wrinkled face. "Karma...it's all karma..."

Li Zifeng's eyes widened, and he instantly sobered up by half.

"Li He? That illegitimate son?" A crazed light suddenly flashed in Li Zifeng's eyes. "I knew it! I knew he was up to no good! Dad, I'm going to kill him! I'll go kill him right now!"

He scrambled to his feet and tried to rush outside, but Li Jianguo sternly stopped him.

"Stop! What good will you do? Go and die?!" Li Jianguo gasped for breath. "The only way now is to find that guarantee company! As long as the guarantee agreement is in effect, we can recover our losses! Wang Fang, quick! Get that guarantee agreement and contact the legal department!"

Wang Fang shakily got up and pulled out the copy from the folder: "Director...Chairman, the original agreement is with Vice President Li, we only have a copy here. And...and just now, Xiao Liu from the legal department glanced at it and said the jurisdiction on this agreement is...the Cayman Islands, and if any disputes arise, we need to file a lawsuit in the local court..."

Li Jianguo felt dizzy and disoriented.

Cayman Islands?

Transnational litigation?

By the time they win the lawsuit, the Li Group will have long since turned to ashes!

This was a complete and utter trap! From Li He kneeling down to the appearance of the guarantee agreement, and then to the transfer of funds, every step was meticulously planned!

In the capital, who could orchestrate such a massive scheme and possess the power to devour the Li family's corpse...?

A young, handsome face with a faint smile always appeared in Li Jianguo's mind.

Baek Kyung-woo!

"It's him...it must be him..." Li Jianguo muttered to himself, his eyes filled with fear. "Deep Blue Technology...the Bai family...such ruthless methods!"

……

The next morning, the rain stopped and the sky cleared.

On the top floor of the DeepBlue Technology Building, sunlight streams through floor-to-ceiling windows onto the gleaming marble floor.

Bai Jingyou, dressed in a well-tailored dark gray suit, stood by the window, holding a freshly brewed cup of coffee.

Ye Lingqing stood behind him, holding a newly printed document in her hand.

"The show is about to begin." Ye Lingqing said in a light tone, "Just ten minutes ago, the so-called guarantee company, Global Trust, sent a lawyer's letter to the Li Group, on the grounds that the Li Group had misused funds and seriously violated the risk control clauses in the guarantee agreement. They announced the unilateral termination of the guarantee contract and demanded that the Li Group return all related transaction funds within 24 hours, otherwise they would initiate asset preservation procedures."

"At the same time," Ye Lingqing paused, adjusting her glasses, "those suppliers who received the advance payments also announced at this time that due to fluctuations in upstream raw material prices, they were unable to supply goods at the original price and needed to renegotiate, or... refund after deducting a 30% penalty. Of course, the refund period is six months."

This is practically pushing the Li Group to its doom.

The funding chain broke, the guarantee was revoked, and the supplier changed its mind.

If these three knives were plunged in at the same time, even a god couldn't save you.

Bai Jingyou took a sip of coffee, his eyes as calm as a deep pool: "What about the bank?"

"Chen He is very reliable." Ye Lingqing's lips curled into a playful smile. "The Beijing Commercial Bank froze all of the Li Group's accounts half an hour ago, citing 'significant operational risks.' Now, even if Li Jianguo wanted to take out even a single yuan to buy nitroglycerin pills, he would have to go through the bank's approval."

"Very good." Bai Jingyou turned around, put down his coffee cup, and said, "Notify Mengyao to have the logistics park prepare. A large amount of debt settlement goods will be transported there in the next day or two. The shelves, equipment, and even the inventory in Li's supermarkets will soon become ours."

"Also," Bai Jingyou straightened his cuffs, a cold glint in his eyes, "send a message to Li He. Tell him that his secret overseas account has been frozen for suspected money laundering. Let him enjoy this last bit of 'freedom'."

Ye Lingqing paused for a moment, then burst out laughing: "That's a killer move, it's like striking at someone's spirit. Li He thinks he's the biggest winner, dreaming of absconding with the money. This bucket of cold water will probably drive him crazy."

"Good that he's gone mad." Bai Jingyou walked to his desk, sat down, and picked up a pen. "A madman is easier to control. Next, it's my turn to meet with that Chairman Li. A farewell should have a proper ceremony."

……

The area outside the Li Group headquarters building was now in complete chaos.

Countless suppliers, creditors, and employees owed wages flocked to the scene, blocking the entrance completely.

Banners were flying everywhere, with large characters such as "Li Group, return my hard-earned money!" and "Severely punish fraudster Li He!"

The human wall formed by the security guards was teetering on the brink of collapse and could be overwhelmed at any moment by the angry crowd.

A black Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan slowly pulled up to the side of the road.

The car door opened, and Li He stepped out wearing sunglasses and a flashy suit.

He drank too much last night and his head is still throbbing.

Seeing the scene before him, he was not afraid at all; instead, he frowned and looked impatient.

"What are you all doing, causing such a ruckus!" Li He took off his sunglasses, pointed at the security captain, and yelled, "What are you all good for? Get these people out of here! You're damaging the company's image, I'll dock your pay!"

The security captain looked at the arrogant vice president with a look in his eyes as if he were looking at a fool.

"Mr. Li, you should check your phone," the security captain said coldly. "Nobody listens to you anymore."

"What did you say?" Li He was furious and about to explode when his cell phone suddenly rang.

It was a short message from the bank.

[Dear customer, your account ending in 8888 has been frozen by the court due to suspected illegal fund transactions. Please go to the counter as soon as possible to handle this matter...]

Li He's hand trembled, and his phone fell to the ground with a thud.

Immediately afterwards, several uniformed police officers walked through the crowd and headed straight for him.

"Li He, right?" The lead police officer showed his badge and said expressionlessly, "Someone has reported you for suspected embezzlement, misappropriation of funds, and commercial fraud. This is a warrant for arrest. Come with us."

"What? You've arrested the wrong person!" Li He panicked, desperately backing away. "I'm the vice president of the Li Group! I'm rich! I... my uncle is Li Jianguo! I need to call him!"

"It was Mr. Li Jianguo who called the police," the police officer interrupted him coldly. "Moreover, the evidence he provided was very detailed."

Li He was struck dumb, and collapsed to the ground.

Did my uncle call the police?

How is that possible? Isn't the old man already past his prime?

Just as the cold handcuffs were fastened to his wrists, Li He saw a Rolls-Royce parked across the street through the gaps in the crowd.

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing a handsome profile.

Bai Jingyou sat in the car, an unlit cigarette between his fingers, and mouthed something to Li He from a distance of several dozen meters.

Those are two words.

"idiot."

Li He's pupils contracted sharply; in that instant, he understood everything.

The so-called appreciation, support, and guarantee... it's all fake!

From the very beginning, he was a knife in Bai Jingyou's hand, a knife used to stab the Li family to death, and then ruthlessly discarded!

"Bai Jingyou! You'll die a horrible death!!" Li He roared in anguish, struggling desperately to rush toward the Rolls-Royce, but was held down by two policemen and forcibly shoved into a police car.

The Rolls-Royce windows slowly rose, shutting out the noise from outside.

"Let's go," Bai Jingyou instructed the driver casually. "To the Li family mansion. Li Jianguo should be waiting for me."

Chen Mo, sitting in the passenger seat, glanced back at his boss with eyes full of awe: "Boss, what about Li Zifeng...?"

"Ignore him." Bai Jingyou closed his eyes to rest. "A stray dog ​​can't cause any trouble. Now, we're going to reap the final spoils."

The sky over the capital remained clear, but for the Li family, winter had arrived.
