You got your marriage certificate and then abandoned me? I'll feed the richest woman in the wor

Accompanied by the rough dragging sound of an eagle.

The envoy, who had failed to show off and was instead severely humiliated, was thrown out of Cloudtop Manor like a bag of sour, rotten garbage.

The heavy black and gold gate slammed shut behind us.

The last vestige of arrogance belonging to the Huangfu family of the capital was mercilessly severed outside the cold iron gate.

however.

The fire that Shen Wanzhou ignited did not go out.

Instead, following the invisible network of capital, they marched north, spreading like wildfire into the century-old powerful family that had occupied the center of power in China.

three days later.

The sky over Jianghai City was heavily covered by a thick layer of lead-gray clouds.

The daytime was as dark as dusk, and the streetlights came on early, giving off a somber, impending storm.

Star Venture Capital Building, top floor CEO's office.

"Bang!"

Wang Kai pushed open the frosted glass door.

His 200-pound body looked like it had just been pulled out of the water.

The back of the bespoke suit was soaked with cold sweat, sticking to his skin.

He didn't even bother to wipe the sweat rolling down his forehead before rushing to the large desk.

He gripped the marble tabletop tightly with both hands.

Because of excessive force, his knuckles were pale and lacked blood flow.

"Brother Yuan, something terrible has happened!"

His voice was hoarse and cracked, conveying a sense of panic as if the sky were falling.

"The General Administration of Customs just issued a document stating that all of our dozen or so ocean-going cargo ships at the East China Sea port have been detained for inspection!"

"The reason given is suspected smuggling of contraband!"

"And there's that new energy base in the south of the city with an investment of 30 billion yuan."

"The Environmental Protection Bureau and the Land and Resources Bureau conducted a joint enforcement action this morning, directly sealing off the land and stating that the land approval procedures were irregular!"

Wang Kai was panting heavily, his chest heaving violently like a broken bellows.

"Even several banks under the Shen family's control were summoned by the head office, and their cross-border transfer limits were restricted!"

"These bastards are using official power to strangle us!"

This is no longer a simple business battle.

This is an undisguised power struggle.

In China, no matter how large your financial scheme is...

As long as those who hold the power to make the rules want you dead.

A single official document can instantly turn your billions of assets into a pile of unrealizable dead debts.

The Huangfu family.

This behemoth has been rooted in the capital for three hundred years and has a complex and intricate network of relationships.

Finally, after being humiliated, it revealed its chilling fangs.

Other established financial magnates in Jianghai City, such as the Zhao and Qian families, whose heads had once been suppressed by Chen Yuan.

At this moment, they are all hiding inside the high walls and courtyards of their own homes.

The gate was tightly shut, and they didn't dare utter a sound.

In their eyes, no matter how rich Chen Yuan was, he was nothing more than a nouveau riche who ruled Jianghai City like a king.

Now they've offended the powerful Huangfu family in the capital.

It's like an egg hitting a rock—a dead end.

The office was eerily quiet.

All you can hear is the whooshing sound of the air conditioner blowing cold air.

Faced with Wang Kai's rapid-fire reports of the disaster.

Chen Yuan remained silent.

He was wearing a pure white cotton shirt, with the cuffs casually rolled up to his forearms.

His tall frame leaned against the soft leather chair back.

In his hand, he was holding a set of antique purple clay teaware.

A large, well-defined hand lifted a copper kettle to boil water.

Boiling hot water is slowly poured in along the side of the cup.

Steam rises, carrying the unique mellow aroma of Da Hong Pao tea.

They slowly dispersed in the stagnant air of the office.

He didn't even lift his eyelids.

"What's the panic?"

His voice was deep and steady, without the slightest hint of panic.

"The sky won't fall down."

Chen Yuan poured the brewed tea into a small white porcelain cup.

His movements were fluid and graceful, exuding a calm and relaxed air.

It's as if it's not his Star Ventures that's being completely blacklisted now.

It was a small street-side shop that had nothing to do with him.

Wang Kai looked at his boss, who remained as steady as a mountain.

I felt a surge of heat rushing straight to the top of my head.

"Brother Yuan! This time it's no joke!"

"They're the heads of the four major families in Beijing! The power they wield could completely shut us down in Jianghai City!"

"If this continues, our cash flow will completely collapse within three days due to a break in the money supply!"

"At that time, the entire Shen family and Xingchen Group will be begging for food!"

"How about... we back down?"

The fat man swallowed hard and tentatively made a suggestion.

"Just consider it paying to avoid trouble, give them some shares..."

"Click".

The crisp sound of porcelain clinking interrupted Wang Kai's words.

Chen Yuan placed the teapot in his hand on the rosewood tea tray.

Raise your head.

His deep, cold black eyes calmly fell on Wang Kai's face, which was covered in cold sweat.

Just one glance.

Wang Kai's subsequent words of admitting defeat were like being cut off by a knife.

It was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

"The word 'give in' doesn't exist in my dictionary."

Chen Yuan stood up.

Walk to the huge panoramic floor-to-ceiling window.

With one hand in his trouser pocket, he looked down at the city battered by storms.

"Did they think they could block my path with just a few scraps of paper?"

He scoffed coldly.

A cruel smile curled at the corner of his lips.

In the world of the dark web.

In that absolute battlefield without borders or legal constraints.

His name, Chen Yuan, is the rule itself.

The privileges that the Huangfu family is so proud of may allow them to dominate the country.

But their overseas assets, energy lifelines, and the illicit money laundered out of the country.

Faced with the algorithm of the abyss.

It's as fragile as a windowpane that can be torn at the slightest touch.

Chen Yuan pulled the specially made encrypted phone out of his pocket.

Press the shortcut communication key on the side with your thumb.

"Chu Feng".

His voice was low, yet it possessed a penetrating power that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Boss, I'm here."

On the other end of the phone, the crisp sound of Chu Feng typing on the keyboard immediately came through.

"Initiating the second phase of the 'ghost base station' operation."

Chen Yuan's gaze passed through the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the increasingly thick dark clouds in the sky.

"Spread the net across Europe and the Middle East."

"Targeting the Huangfu family's seventeen deep-water ports and eight rare earth mining areas overseas."

"Intercept all their shipping scheduling instructions."

"in addition."

Chen Yuan paused, his tone revealing undisguised murderous intent.

"Pack up all the slush funds they've laundered through underground banks over the past five years."

"Deliver it directly to the highest-authority email address of the international anti-money laundering organization."

"I want them to become bloodless mummies before the sun goes down today."

On the other end of the phone.

Chu Feng whistled excitedly.

"Alright, boss! Just you wait and see!"

"These arrogant young masters from the capital, they don't know their place! Today I'll teach them a lesson!"

beep.

The call ended.

Wang Kai stood blankly beside the desk.

Listening to the instructions Chen Yuan had just given.

His legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the sofa.

He then realized what was happening.

Brother Yuan isn't trying to defend at all.

This is like pulling out a nuclear bomb and going to raze someone's ancestral graves!

Cut off overseas ports and mining areas?

This is tantamount to directly severing more than half of the Huangfu family's lifeblood!

This method was so ruthless it sent chills down my spine.

The door to the lounge was gently pushed open.

Shen Wanzhou was wearing a soft beige cardigan.

She carried a plate of freshly washed cherries and walked out barefoot.

She ignored the fat man sprawled on the sofa wiping his sweat.

He walked straight to Chen Yuan's side.

She looked at him with her shimmering peach-blossom eyes and offered him a bright red cherry.

"Are you tired? Have some fruit first."

Her voice was soft and gentle, carrying a sense of reassurance that completely shielded her from the turmoil and bloodshed outside.

As long as this man is there, she is not afraid of anything.

Chen Yuan lowered his head and took a bite of the sweet cherry.

He casually wrapped his arm around her slender waist and pulled her into his broad embrace.

Chen Yuan blew on the steam rising from his teacup, a cold, murderous glint flashing in his deep eyes: "Since they like to play the privilege game, let them see what it truly means to have absolute power."
