Luo Binwang's influence was even more terrifying than Liu Ming had imagined.

The Nangong International Center, which had been listed for less than a month by the Nangong Group, was destroyed before it could even hold its opening ceremony.

A comprehensive commercial crackdown on the Nangong Group, orchestrated behind the scenes by Luo Binwang and with Zhao Ruilong and his "local capital alliance" as its henchmen, has quietly but powerfully begun!

……

"President! Something terrible has happened!"

Nangong Group Headquarters, President's Office.

The CFO rushed in, sweating profusely, his face filled with panic.

"Just now, almost at the same time, all the banks that have credit cooperation with us—China Construction Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China—called us!"

"They...they want to withdraw the loan!"

"What?"

Nangong Yao suddenly stood up from her seat, and for the first time, her usually confident and composed face showed an expression of disbelief and shock!

Withdraw the loan!

In business, this is the most lethal and shameless attack tactic!

This means that the bank will unilaterally terminate all loan agreements and demand that the company repay all loans within a very short period of time!

This could be a fatal blow to any rapidly expanding company!

"What's the reason? What's their reason?" Nangong Yao's voice trembled.

"They said...that our group has expanded too quickly recently, our debt ratio is too high, and the risk is too great..." The CFO's voice was almost crying. "But...but these were all assessments they made when they were begging us for loans!"

"That's not a reason."

Nangong Yao instantly calmed down, her beautiful eyes flashing with a cold light.

"This is an order."

She knew that what could make all the major state-owned banks in Jiangnan Province take such a unified action at the same time was...

Behind this, there must be a huge force that none of them can afford to offend, issuing orders!

—Luo Binwang!

Before she could even recover from the shock of the bank withdrawing her loan...

Another, even worse, piece of news followed!

"President Nangong! Something terrible has happened!"

The project manager rushed in, his face ashen.

"We...we just acquired that prime piece of land in the east of the city, but there's a problem!"

"The planning bureau suddenly issued a rectification notice! They said our design plan doesn't conform to the latest urban planning! They want us to... tear it down and start over!"

"And that's not all! The Environmental Protection Bureau, the Fire Department, the Housing and Construction Bureau... all the approvals are stuck! Not a single stamp can be issued!"

"The construction site was even worse... it was surrounded by a group of thugs who appeared out of nowhere! They cut off our water and electricity, beat up our workers, and threatened that if anyone dared to start construction again, they would... they would make them walk out of there!"

……

One bad news after another came flying in from all directions like snowflakes!

Banks have stopped issuing loans!

The partner has breached the contract!

Government card approval!

thugs and hooligans are causing trouble!

……

A vast net, woven from power, capital, and criminal forces, descended from the sky!

This effectively trapped the Nangong Group, a newcomer from out of town, in the center!

"Bang!"

Nangong Yao could no longer hold on, her body went limp, and she collapsed onto the sofa behind her.

For the first time, her face, which was always full of confidence and pride, revealed an expression of "helplessness" and "despair".

She is not afraid of direct business competition.

Even in a real financial battle, she dares to fight to the death!

But now, the other party isn't doing business with her at all.

What they're playing with is power!

Yes, a dimensional reduction attack!

It is with the power she cannot resist that it will crush her bit by bit!

She felt like a butterfly that had fallen into a spider web.

No matter how much they struggle, they will only be entangled tighter and tighter in that invisible net until they suffocate to death.

"Ouyang Feng... Zhao Ruilong... Luo Binwang..."

She murmured those names, her eyes filled with endless hatred.

She knew she had become their hostage, used against Liu Ming.

They dared not, and could not, touch Liu Ming.

So they unleashed all their firepower on her, Liu Ming's biggest "Achilles' heel"!

As long as the Nangong Group is defeated.

Liu Ming is essentially missing a crucial arm!

……

The night was very deep.

The headquarters building of Nangong Group is still brightly lit.

But the lights were no longer as full of hope and vitality as they used to be.

Instead, it exudes a sense of desolation, as if a great building is about to collapse.

Nangong Yao sat alone in that empty and cold office.

In front of her was a bottle of expensive red wine and a wine glass.

But she didn't drink a drop.

She simply stared quietly out the window at the bustling city nightscape that felt alien to her, her eyes vacant and lost.

She felt like she was about to collapse.

Just then.

"Click".

A soft sound.

The office door was pushed open from the outside.

A familiar figure walked in.

She was also carrying two steaming cups of milk tea.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty? Are you planning to drown your sorrows in alcohol?"

Liu Ming's voice remained as cynical and sarcastic as ever.

But to Nangong Yao, it sounded like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The string of "strength" that she had been holding on to snapped completely at that moment.

"Wow--!"

She could no longer hold back and, like a child who had suffered a great injustice, threw herself into Liu Ming's arms and burst into tears!

The cries were filled with grievance, resentment, and a deep-seated despair!

Liu Ming remained silent.

He simply held her quietly, letting her scalding tears soak his chest.

He knew that this woman always presented herself as an invincible queen in front of outsiders.

At this moment, how much we need a shoulder to lean on.

a long time.

The crying gradually stopped.

With red eyes, Nangong Yao lifted her head from his embrace. Her breathtakingly beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with endless weariness and... apology.

"I'm sorry... I..."

"It's alright." Liu Ming reached out and gently wiped away the tears on her face, her movements as tender as if she were wiping a rare treasure.

"I know you did your best."

"I..." Nangong Yao looked at him, her lips trembling. For the first time, her beautiful eyes, which were always full of confidence and pride, revealed an expression of "defeat".

"...Liu Ming."

"This time... we might really lose."
