The night was inky, deep and cold.

In Jaime Sr.'s private clubhouse, a dinner party that was supposed to celebrate victory suddenly fell silent.

The wine glass in Jiang Ping's hand suddenly slipped down, and the red wine bloomed a bewitching flower on the carpet.

But his eyes were glued to the TV screen, the constantly scrolling news-

Diao Zhengde was formally arrested on suspicion of accepting bribes.

Old James's face turned pale in an instant, as if all his strength had been drained, and his whole body collapsed on the sofa.

This news was like a bolt from the blue for him,

He couldn't believe that Diao Zhengde, who had been shielding them from the wind and rain and escorting them, would be caught.

"This ...... That's impossible! ”

Jiang Ping's voice trembled, as if he wanted to find a flaw on the TV screen to prove that it was fake.

But the news anchor's serious face, and the hard evidence, made him have to accept this cruel truth.

Old Jaime suddenly burst into flames and angrily slammed the coffee table in front of him, the luxurious glass coffee table shattered in an instant, the flying shards cut through his palms, and the blood dripped on the carpet, mixing with the red wine.

But his anger did not dissipate, but intensified.

"Why is this happening? Why? ”

Old Jaime roared, his voice full of despair and reluctance.

He knows that without Diao Zhengde's support and protection, Dahua Group will face an unprecedented crisis.

Jiang Ping was also completely panicked, and he looked at old James helplessly, as if he wanted to find a trace of comfort or a solution in the other party.

But old Jaime was now in a state of mad rage and despair, and could not help him at all.

There was an atmosphere of oppression and despair throughout the clubhouse.

Old Jaime and Jiang Ping seemed to be isolated on an isolated island, surrounded by surging waves that could swallow them at any moment.

Their original ridicule and disdain for the Dragon Teng Group had all turned into fear and regret at the moment, but they had no way out.

Eventually, with trembling hands, old Jaime dialed the phone number that he thought was a holy place.

The moment the phone was connected, he seemed to be able to feel the majesty and dignity coming from the other end of the phone.

He tried to calm his agitation and spoke in as respectful tone as possible.

"Young master, I have something important to report." There was a deep sense of awe and dependence in his voice.

Francis on the other end of the line was not surprised, his voice was calm and deep: "Say, what happened?" ”

Jaime Sr. took a deep breath and told Francis the news of Diao's arrest.

In the process of narrating, his tone was full of anxiety and uneasiness, as if he was afraid that his mistake would cause the young master's dissatisfaction.

After listening to Jaime Sr.'s debriefing, Francis was silent for a moment.

Old Jaime could feel the oppressive atmosphere on the other end of the phone, and he knew that the young master's mood must be very heavy at the moment.

Finally, Francis's voice rang out again, but with a hint of unmistakable majesty.

"You must lie dormant now, try not to attract the attention of the outside world, and I will draw a batch of funds from the consortium to help you tide over the difficulties." Francis's tone, though calm, revealed an irresistible force.

When old James heard this, a warm current welled up in his heart.

He knew that the young master did not give up on them, but chose to give them support and help at this critical moment.

He hurriedly replied gratefully: "Thank you, Young Master, for your great grace! I will live up to the expectations of the young master! ”

Francis's tone, however, was not softened by old Jaime's gratitude.

He continued: "Don't be too happy, the current situation is very unfavorable to you, Diao Zhengde's arrest is just the beginning, and then you must be prepared to deal with all kinds of emergencies, remember, there is an old saying in Xia Guo, it is called to stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid of no firewood." ”

Old James replied again and again, but his heart was full of bitterness and helplessness.

He knew that the young master was right, they had no way to retreat, so they could only grit their teeth and persevere, waiting for the day when they turned over.

He slowly hung up the phone, looking out the window at the pitch black night, his heart full of unknown and fear.

But he knew that as long as there was the support and help of the young master, they would definitely be able to survive this difficulty.

However, the sniping and suppression of Yemu Capital did not stop!

In the headquarters building of the Great China Group, the lights are dim and the atmosphere is depressing.

Old James and Jiang Ping sat in the conference room, looking at the financial report in their hands with solemn faces.

"How so? How could our business shrink so fast? Jiang Ping asked in a trembling voice, his eyes full of fear and incomprehension.

Old Jaime was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "It's Yemu Capital, they have been secretly sniping us, every decision and every project we make has been accurately attacked by them, and their purpose is very clear, that is, to completely destroy the Great China Group." ”

When Jiang Ping heard this, his face turned even paler: "Then what should we do?" Aren't we backed by consortium funds? Why can't you resist it? ”

Old James smiled bitterly: "The strength of Yemu Capital is far stronger than we imagined, their funds, connections, and means are far superior to ours, although we have the support of the consortium, but in this competition, we are still at a disadvantage." ”

Jiang Ping couldn't accept this fact, he slapped the table angrily: "No! We can't just throw in the towel! We must find a way to fight back! ”

Old Jaime looked at Jiang Ping, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.

He knew Jiang Ping's mood, but he also knew that the reality was cruel.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions: "Jiang Ping, listen to me, the only thing we can do now is to try to preserve our strength and wait for the opportunity, Yemu Capital will not continue to be so arrogant, as long as we survive this time, we will have a chance to turn over." ”

Old James sighed deeply.

He knew that this struggle was an unprecedented test for the Great China Group, but they had no way to retreat, so they could only grit their teeth and persevere.

In the following days, the business of Dahuaxia Group continued to shrink, and the size of the company continued to decrease.

Although they have the support of the consortium funds, they are still difficult to resist the fierce offensive of Yemu Capital.

Every counterattack was easily defused by the other party, and every struggle made them feel even more desperate.

However, in this most difficult moment, the elder Jaime always remained calm and determined.

In the office, the atmosphere was almost suffocating.

Old Jaime sat behind his desk, his eyes as sharp as knives, staring straight at Jiang Ping who was standing in front of him.

Jiang Ping unconsciously lowered his head under his gaze, his hands clenched, as if trying to calm the fear in his heart.
