Chapter 342: Chapter 342 The Circle is Really Chaotic_l

Upon receiving Jiang Xu’s call, Huang Qiqi did not hesitate to agree to his request.

Last time, she had bet on the wrong chip.

Even if the Huang Family had pulled through, her own outcome wouldn’t have been favorable.

So this time, she was sincerely bought over by Jiang Xu.

The task Jiang Xu asked her to do was fairly straightforward.

Gather evidence of the Huang Family’s illegal and criminal activities.

With such a large family, Jiang Xu didn’t believe that every member was abiding by the rules.

And now, with internal strife stirring the Huang Family into chaos, it was the perfect opportunity to search for evidence.

No sooner had the phone call ended than Jiang Xiaoyan’s call came in.

Jiang Xu answered, his voice grave, “Hello, how’s the search going?”

Jiang Xiaoyan said, “I found out how the money that the Huang Family transferred out is coming back.”

A corner of Jiang Xu’s mouth turned up, “Your sister is truly impressive. I must treat her to dinner sometime.”

Such information was incredibly covert.

It couldn’t be known simply by having money.

One must have an exceptionally strong network of connections.

Jiang Xiaoyan said cheerfully, “My sister is capable, beautiful, and she’s mixed-race too.

She loves thrilling things. One day you, me, and her should together…”

“Cut it out!” Jiang Xu lost his composure in an instant, “Is your head filled with crap?”

Jiang Xiaoyan replied, “No, my head is filled with thoughts of you.”

Huh?

Why does that statement feel a bit off?

But Jiang Xu couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was off about it.

Forget it, don’t dwell on that.

He said, “Then pass the lead to the relevant departments and let them intercept the Huang Family’s funds.”

“You have such a dark heart,” Jiang Xiaoyan commented. “This way, not only will they face hefty fines,

but they will also delay any chance to save their family.

Then, there will be only one path left for them, and that is to sell their assets at a low price to survive.

After which, you can make a move and acquire those high-quality assets for yourself.

Brilliant, just brilliant.”

Jiang Xu asked with a smile, “How brilliant?”

Jiang Xiaoyan replied, “As high as a three or four-story building.”

Jiang Xu said, “Okay, enough of that. Get back to business.”

Jiang Xiaoyan said, “Yeah, got it.”

Putting his phone in his pocket, Jiang Xu returned to his desk.

Beside him, An Nuonuo pulled up a set of data, “From midnight till now, our movie’s box office has broken thirty million.”

Jiang Xu nodded.

In 2009, being able to achieve this feat in half a day was quite impressive.

The target audience for this movie overlapped greatly with The Legend of the Dragon Emperor.

With the subpar quality of The Legend of the Dragon Emperor, coupled with Jiang Xu’s use of a smear campaign,

most of their audience had turned to watch “Martial Universe” instead.

Meanwhile, the box office for Dragon Emperor’s Legend hadn’t even reached one million so far.

It was a complete flop.

And the reputation and ratings for “Martial Universe” continued to climb.

The following box office was only going to get higher.

Baihu Group, which had invested so much in producing Dragon Emperor’s Legend, could say they had lost it all.

What’s worse is that Baihu Group was already listed on the stock market.

As a result, its share prices dropped by 8% as soon as the market opened!

An Nuonuo pulled up another chart.

It listed all the publicly traded companies owned by the Huang family.

Thirty-nine in total, and with the parent corporation included, forty.

Today, all of their stock prices were in the red.

The drop was over 5% across the board.

Some were hit severely, plummeting to their limit right away.

In just these few hours, the Huang Family’s losses had exceeded ten billion!

An Nuonuo couldn’t help feeling some compassion, “Are we going to press down to the end?”

Jiang Xu knew she was kind-hearted.

He didn’t want to erase her kindness.

So he told a benign lie, “No, I will leave them a way out.”

Yes, let the key members of the Huang Family go inside and have free rice porridge; from then on, they wouldn’t have to worry about making a living anymore.

The rest of the world, every day, struggled for their livelihood, dreaming of a day when they could eat their fill without working.

They could get it now without lifting a finger.

Jiang Xu felt he was quite a remarkable person.

An Nuonuo didn’t doubt him and showed a relieved expression.

She hadn’t experienced much of the world’s malevolence, so she remained pure and kind.

But Jiang Xu couldn’t do the same.

At noon, the meal for the two of them was delivered by their bodyguards.

To prevent the Huang Family from making a desperate move.

The security forces within the office building had been greatly enhanced.

Moreover, enough food had been stored for three days.

Additionally, backups had been made for things like internet cables, electrical lines, and generators.

To ensure that even if someone sabotaged them deliberately, it would have no impact on their operation.

All employees were required to stay within the company; they would work there for the next three days.

Each employee received an extra thousand yuan per day.

Jiang Xu refreshed the news webpage.

A fresh piece of news appeared.

The Huang Family headquarters had been raided!

Of course, it was because of that enormous amount of funds they attempted to funnel through ‘rat paths,’ which Jiang Xiaoyan had someone report.

The state has zero tolerance for such matters.

Once discovered, one must pay a hefty price.

At this very moment, the entire Huang Family was in a state of panic, with everyone feeling insecure.

However, because they had the pillar of Huang Feng, the collapse had not happened.

He was continuously issuing orders, trying to patch up the ship that had been riddled by the enemy.

Regarding the ‘rat path’ money laundering being discovered, Huang Feng had already made his eldest son, the current patriarch of the Huang Family, take the fall.

Only he had enough clout.

It was okay for him to go in.

As long as the family survived, his son could continue to live a privileged life after getting out.

After wrapping up another family meeting, Huang Xiaofei returned to his room.

After closing his door, his face twisted.

He then chuckled, “The family is done for. Four against one, and we can’t win.

The billions of funds have been seized already; by the time they’re released, it’ll all be too late.

If that’s the case, they can’t blame me.”

He was determined.

He immediately logged onto a website.

And transferred all of his capital into it.

He was going to short sell his own family’s company stocks!

Better for him to survive alone than for everyone to die together!

And he wasn’t the only one within the family doing this.

Whenever a crisis approached, the good and evil in human nature were magnified indefinitely.

This also accelerated the decline of the family, heading toward doom.

Did Huang Feng know about this?

He did.

Unfortunately, even with that knowledge, he could not stop it.

In an instant, he aged ten years.

Giving off an impression of being on the verge of collapse, ready to fall at any moment.

He was struggling to keep from falling.

If he fell, the family would be utterly finished.

“If this goes on, the family won’t survive,” Huang Feng sighed, “Go contact An

Feng, Fu Xinghan, and those two Jiang kids for me.”

His old associate, who had followed him for decades, tentatively asked, “Sir, are you planning to…”

Huang Feng waved his hand, “Cede territory as compensation.”

Meanwhile, Huang Qiqi had snuck out of the family home.

Her face was unable to hide her excitement!
