The private room next to the banquet hall at the Sunshine Hotel.

The private room, which was only meant for twenty people, was now crammed with fifty or sixty people, leaving no room for anyone to even stand.

In addition, the sweltering summer weather in Jiangcheng made the people inside feel inexplicably bored.

What troubled them most was that, as Ye Chen's side began to operate, since they were imprisoned, the leaders of various departments had been receiving a constant stream of phone calls.

These calls came from various sources: some from old friends and classmates, some from their superiors, and others from all sorts of other connections, all pleading for the Gu Group.

Despite their various explanations, there is no doubt that participating in this operation has severely damaged their personal networks.

Now everyone just hopes that the gains from this operation will outweigh their losses.

Among these people, the one who received the most calls was Xue Hao, the president of Xiamen Commercial Bank.

Not only does it keep getting one call after another, but sometimes you're on one call and the next call comes in.

He wanted to turn off his phone but didn't dare, and the mental pressure was simply overwhelming.

"Ring ring..."

Upon seeing the caller ID, Xue Hao hurriedly pressed the answer button.

The call was from a high-ranking executive at head office, five levels above him.

As soon as the call was answered, the other end launched into a tirade of abuse.

"Xue Hao, what the hell are you doing? The Gu Group has at least hundreds of billions of yuan in annual transactions with Xiamen Commercial Bank. You've frozen their accounts. Can you afford the losses that this will cause to the bank?"

I order you to unfreeze Gu's account right now, immediately, and without delay! One minute later and you're fired as bank manager!

"Yes, boss, yes, I'll lift the lockdown right away."

After bowing and scraping as he hung up the phone, Xue Hao squeezed next to the Nangong siblings with a bitter expression.

"Young Master Nangong, can we really succeed this time? If we can't get evidence of their illegal activities and crush the Gu family, I'm finished."

Nangong Qi remained calm, patted his shoulder, and smiled.

"Don't worry, President Xue. The power behind the Nangong family is beyond your imagination. Crushing the Gu Group is no different from crushing an ant."

The more confident he was, the more flustered Xue Hao became.

"It's unimaginably big, so how come you're still locked up here?"

While secretly complaining, he was already starting to regret it.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes to see that this incident is a battle between the Ye family and those opposing forces.

In this level of confrontation, let alone a small-time like Karami, even the Nangong family could only serve as foot soldiers, charging into battle for those people.

If I hadn't been greedy for those five million and the position of provincial branch manager, I wouldn't be suffering like this now.

But now that things have come to this, all he can do is pray silently.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen, Shen Qianqian, and Li Muling returned to the small private room where Gu Ning and the others were.

Shen Qianqian asked, "How is it? Has there been any progress?"

"No, the fastest it will take is three days to resolve, and that's assuming everything goes smoothly." Gu Ning shook her head, holding her phone.

Although if all goes well, the lockdown could be lifted in as little as three days, how could it possibly go smoothly?

The Nangong family and the forces behind them will definitely use all means to prevent this from happening.

"Don't worry, Ningning, we are all good people, and good people will be rewarded."

Ye Chen stepped forward and hugged Gu Ning.

"husband......"

Gu Ning had a thousand words to say to Ye Chen, but leaning against his warm embrace, the tears she had been holding back for so long began to flow uncontrollably as soon as she opened her mouth.

Without the Gu Group, the Ye family would lose most of its sources of funding.

More importantly, those forces that were still observing will choose to side with their enemies.

Gu Ning couldn't imagine the terrifying storm that the Ye and Gu families would face next.

However, at that moment, her phone suddenly rang.

"Hello Mr. Gu, this is Gong Qing, the vice president of Xiamen Commercial Bank. We are very sorry that Xue Hao of our bank froze the funds in the Gu Group's account for personal purposes."

Your group's account has now been unfrozen. To express our apologies, Xiamen Commercial Bank has decided to increase its investment in the Gu Group, allocating a special fund of 30 billion yuan to your group.

"What did you say? Gu's account has been unfrozen?"

Gu Ning's mouth gaped open, she could hardly believe her ears.

"Yes, Mr. Gu, the lockdown has been lifted. In addition, our bank hereby solemnly declares that Xue Hao has been dismissed from our bank. All his statements and actions are his private matters and have nothing to do with our bank."

"Okay, okay, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Ning jumped up happily.

"Smack."

She stood on tiptoe and gave Ye Chen a big kiss on the lips before announcing the good news to everyone.

When Xiashang Bank called Gu Ning, everyone had a vague suspicion that things might take a turn for the better, and they never expected it to actually be true.

In an instant, everyone cheered.

Only Qin Yu glanced at Ye Chen, her beautiful eyes filled with suspicion.

How were the accounts of the Gu Group unfrozen?

Since it couldn't have been the people who were here earlier who exerted their power, the remaining people are Shen Qianqian, Li Muling, and Ye Chen.

If it was either Shen Qianqian or Li Muling who used their connections to unfreeze the Gu family's account, they would have no reason not to speak up.

After eliminating these suspects, the only one who remains a suspect is Ye Chen.

Is it possible that this guy isn't actually stupid, but has been pretending all along?

Ye Chen, with his keen senses, secretly glanced at her.

If Qin Yu found out that he was not only not stupid, but also the same person as her ex-convict fiancé, would this four-star female war goddess of the Great Xia Dynasty tear him apart?

"This is terrible!"

Ye Chen couldn't help but shudder.

As Qin Yu walked towards him, Nangong Qian suddenly exclaimed with delight.

"Look, a big shot in the provincial capital has been arrested for breaking the law. I'm 100% sure that this old guy is the Nangong family's backer."

What she didn't say was that the Nangong family wanted to take her back so they could give her to this person as a plaything.

Everyone hurriedly took out their phones and, sure enough, saw the news on Toutiao (a Chinese news aggregator).

"Great! Those bad guys' fathers have been arrested. Let's go beat them up and avenge Ningning's wife."

Ye Chen dared not let Qin Yu get close, and with a cheer, he rushed out the door.

The private room where Nangong Qi and the others were located immediately fell silent when Ye Chen and his large group entered.

Ling Feng also received orders from his superiors and coldly addressed Nangong Qi and the others.

"You may leave now."

Nangong Qi thought it was his family and the big shot in the provincial capital who had put in the effort, so he became arrogant and kept sneering, ready to retaliate against Ye Chen and his group.

He, Nangong Qi, won this battle cleanly and decisively.

However, there were people even more impressive than him at the scene.

Xue Hao rushed up to Gu Ning, sneering repeatedly.

"So what, Mr. Gu? So what if you brought in the military? In the end, you'll still have to obediently release our bank manager, won't you?"

However, just as he was feeling smug, Sun Quan from the Public Security Bureau suddenly walked over.

"Click!"

The handcuffs originally prepared for Gu Ning were now cuffed to his wrists.
