"Eee ooo~ eee ooo~"

The red and blue lights flashed as Xu Jingsong was led into the police car, a scene quickly noticed by the crowd protesting with banners in front of the Xu Group building.

"Hey! Elder Li, look at the one being taken away by the police over there, doesn't he look like the boss of the Xu Group? The one we often see in the news."

Elder Wang nudged his old friend next to him, pointing in the direction of the police car.

Elder Li adjusted his glasses, but by then, Xu Jingsong was already sitting in the car, and his face couldn't be seen.

"Impossible, right? We just came here to protest today, and they're taking him away the same day? Since when is the police this efficient?

Besides, he's a big boss, and they say he has strong connections. How could they arrest him just like that?"

"You're right, maybe it was my eyes playing tricks on me. Sigh! How can bad people get away with things like this nowadays? That's our family's life-saving money..."

Elder Wang sighed deeply, his face filled with bitterness.

"You wouldn't know, but my son has recently sold both his car and house. He's already secretly gone out to set up a stall to make money.

Zikai used to be so chubby, and now he's lost so much weight. My dear grandson, he's never suffered like this since he was born...

Sigh! It's all my fault, I just wanted to earn some interest, but who would have thought we can't even get back the principal..."

Elder Wang rambled on, his eyes turning red with self-reproach.

Just then, the protest crowd suddenly stirred, with many people looking at their phones with excitement.

"What's going on?" The two of them were perplexed.

"We got it back! The money's been recovered! The police station sent a message asking us to go register and collect the money!"

When someone shouted, the two of them finally widened their eyes in disbelief.

"Really?"

"I've got it, I've got a message too!"

"Quick, quick, let's go to the police station!"

"..."

A moment later, only a few scattered banners and slogans remained.

Just like the mess left behind by the times...

...

Fortunately, Xu Jingsong's asset "Qiankun Great Shifting" had only managed to initiate a starting move before being ruthlessly interrupted by someone.

With Cui Jizhong, the actual executor, defecting, most of the funds that hadn't been transferred and laundered were recovered by the police.

Though the promised high interest was certainly impossible, at least investors got back most of their principal, avoiding a total loss...

In order to eliminate negative impacts, the Xu Group quickly issued a statement.

In short, it clarified that the Xu Group had no direct connection with the "Daniu Venture Capital Case", and it was all Xu Jingsong's personal actions driven by self-interest.

The fact that the company president was pushed out to take the blame showed much more sincerity compared to some intern scapegoating incidents.

And since the money's been recovered, everything after becomes much easier to handle.

After all, the Xu Group is a major taxpayer, related to tens of thousands of jobs and family livelihoods.

For Su City, it's one of those too-big-to-fail businesses, and such a resolution was naturally welcomed.

Soon, investors got their money back, and the police gained a wave of prestige for their operational efficiency.

The city's leaders were also commended from above for promptly resolving the crisis.

Yet the matter wasn't over; a few days later, news suddenly broke that the Xu Group had signed a "strategic partnership agreement" with Baiyeji!

The Xu Group would not only fully adopt Baiyeji's "Tianshu ERP", to enhance fund monitoring and transparency and ease public concerns.

But would also undergo a comprehensive transformation using Baiyeji's AI technology in electric vehicles, real estate, finance, hotels, tourism, healthcare, and other fields!

One is a traditional commercial giant spanning multiple fields, the other a rising high-tech star.

The strong union of two major Su City companies offers unlimited room for imagination...

Stimulated by the news, a massive influx of capital poured into the Xu Group, this newly minted "Baiyeji concept stock".

The Xu Group's stock price, which was going downhill vertically, immediately rebounded, rocketing to recover the losses of the previous days.

Ordinary shareholders, Xu Group investors, and even the heavily battered Qilin Club capital not only recouped losses but made a small profit, a universally celebrated outcome.

Throughout the process, it seemed only Xu Jingsong became the biggest loser in the case.

Official crime, illegal fundraising, financial fraud, and even hiring thugs, organizing gangster forces...

A series of charges strong enough to keep Xu Jingsong locked away forever...

...

The Hu family, City Compound.

"This Gao Yuan, I had already thought highly of her, but I still underestimated her..."

After listening to Hu Yonghua's report, Mr. Hu couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration.

Gao Yuan's recent large-scale activities naturally didn't escape his attention, as he had ordered close surveillance long before.

It also involved the Qilin Club, a top-tier "red-capped business association", dealing with which was beyond what an ordinary businessperson could manage.

Just as well, he'd been working in Su City during this period, closely monitoring the developments on the "Silent Hill" side.

He planned to lend a hand in critical moments, but it turned out that she had no intention of asking for his help and resolved the issue by herself.

In the end, she didn't even make a single call for external assistance.

This foiled Mr. Hu's plan to extend a personal favor...

"This Miss Gao, her methods are indeed extraordinary." Hu Yonghua also showed a bit of admiration on his face.

The public only saw the tip of the iceberg, but the scheming and intrigue behind the scenes were far more complex than anyone had imagined.
