Gu Jinyan took a deep breath and slammed the document on the table, making a dull sound. Across from him, the president of the partner company had a livid face, but pretended to be calm and asked, "Boss Gu, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Gu Jinyan sneered, "This agreement is clearly written in black and white. Do you need me to explain it?" He looked at the other party with sharp eyes, "You joined forces with the 'Obsidian' organization to destroy the Gu Group. Do you really think I would not notice it?"

The president of the partner's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. He said with a fake smile: "Mr. Gu, you are joking. This document is obviously forged. How could I..."

"Whether it is forged or not, you know it in your heart." Su Li's cold voice interrupted, and she handed a document to the president of the partner. "This is what we investigated, the financial transaction records between you and the members of the 'Obsidian' organization. The evidence is conclusive. What else do you have to say?"

The president of the partner company's face changed completely. He stood up suddenly, pointed at Su Li and said angrily: "How dare you investigate me!"

"It's not an investigation, it's an exposure." Gu Jin said in a cold tone, "Do you think you can hide the truth and play with us? You underestimate us!"

The negotiations broke down, and the president of the partner became angry and threatened: "Okay, you wait, this matter is not over yet!"

As expected, after the president of the partner left, he launched a fierce attack on Gu. He used the media resources in his hands to spread false news about Gu, fabricated false evidence, and slandered Gu. At the same time, he also used legal means to file a series of lawsuits against Gu, trying to drag Gu into the quagmire.

For a time, Gu's Group was caught in a whirlpool of public opinion, stock prices plummeted, partners terminated cooperation one after another, and the company was in panic and chaos. Gu Jinyan and Su Li tried their best to deal with it, but it was still difficult to reverse the decline.

Late at night, Gu Jinyan sat in his office, looking at the market analysis report on the table, frowning. The report showed that Gu's stock had hit the limit in just a few days, and the company was facing unprecedented financial pressure.

"knock knock"

There was a knock on the door, and the market analyst walked in with a serious expression: "Mr. Gu, I just received news..."

The market analyst said in a heavy tone, placing a latest data report in front of Gu Jinyan, "Boss Gu, the Obsidian organization is secretly manipulating the stock market and selling a large amount of our company's shares. Our stock price... has fallen below the historical low."

Gu Jinyan took the report without saying a word. The densely packed numbers seemed like heavy lead blocks, weighing him down. He knew the power of the Obsidian organization, but he didn't expect their revenge to come so quickly and so violently, almost forcing the Gu family into a desperate situation.

"Also..." The market analyst hesitated for a moment, but still said, "There are also problems with the company's internal capital chain. Several projects have been forced to stagnate due to insufficient funds. If this problem cannot be solved in time..."

"I see." Gu Jinyan rubbed his brows tiredly and interrupted him. Although the traitor had been handed over to the judicial authorities, the mess he left behind could not be cleaned up in a short period of time.

"You go out first, let me be alone."

The market analyst gave him a worried look and quietly left the office.

Gu Jinyan sat alone in the empty office, the neon lights of the city flickering outside the window, but they could not illuminate the haze in his heart at the moment. He seemed to be standing on the edge of a cliff, with a howling wind and a bottomless abyss under his feet. If he was not careful, he would fall into the abyss.

"Boom boom boom——"

The knock on the door sounded again, and Su Li pushed the door open and walked in. She placed a cup of steaming hot coffee in front of him and said softly, "Don't think too much about it, have a cup of coffee."

Gu Jinyan raised his head and looked at the woman who was always by his side, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. Su Li's face was also tired, but her eyes were still firm, as if telling him that no matter what happened, she would fight side by side with him.

"What should we do now?" Gu Jinyan asked in a low voice, holding the coffee cup.

Su Li sat down opposite him and analyzed calmly, "The goal of the 'Obsidian' organization is to destroy the Gu family, and what we need to do most now is to stabilize our position and not lose our composure." She paused and continued, "I have contacted several partners with whom we have good relations. They have expressed their willingness to lend a hand at this time to help us overcome the difficulties."

"Also, the employees within the company need to be comforted." Su Li said firmly, "We need to give them hope and make them believe that Gu's will not fall. We will definitely get through this crisis together."

Gu Jinyan looked at Su Li with his eyes full of admiration and gratitude. He knew that at this time, Su Li's calmness and wisdom were the source of their strength to overcome all difficulties.

He took a deep breath, drank the coffee in his hand, stood up, and said in a firm tone: "Notify all senior executives immediately and hold an emergency meeting in ten minutes!"

In the top floor conference room of Gu's Group, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if the air had frozen. The senior managers had different expressions, and anxiety, uneasiness, and doubt spread in the air.

"I know that everyone is worried about the company's current situation." Gu Jinyan stood in front of the conference table, his eyes swept across everyone, and his tone was steady and powerful, "The attack methods of the 'Obsidian' organization are despicable, but we will never give up easily! We will use all our resources to fight back to the end!"

His words were like a magic needle that calmed the originally flustered crowd. Su Li stood beside him, with a firm gaze, silently supporting him.

"I have contacted several law firms, and they will help us deal with the relevant legal proceedings." Su Li's voice was clear and powerful. "At the same time, I have also contacted a public relations company to clarify the facts as soon as possible and restore the company's reputation."

"The marketing department should pay close attention to market trends and adjust strategies in a timely manner." Gu Jinyan added, "The technical department should strengthen network security protection to prevent further attacks from the Obsidian organization."

Instructions were quickly passed down, and order gradually returned to the conference room. Gu Jinyan and Su Li divided the work and cooperated. Gu Jinyan used his connections and resources to run around and successfully resolved several legal cases, winning precious breathing time for the company. Su Li stayed in the company, calmed the employees, coordinated the work of various departments, and ensured the normal operation of the company.

However, the attacks of the Obsidian organization continued. They seemed determined to force the Gu Group into a desperate situation, and wave after wave of attacks followed one after another, making it difficult for people to cope with them.

"Boss Gu, this is bad!" The marketing manager rushed into the office, looking pale. "The 'Obsidian' organization has published a lot of false information about our company online, and now the stock price has plummeted again..."

Gu Jinyan stood up suddenly, a chill running up from his feet to his head. He picked up his phone and looked through the latest financial news, his expression becoming increasingly grim.

At this time, the office door was knocked again, and the secretary's voice was trembling: "Mr. Gu, Mr. Li... Mr. Li is here and wants to see you."

Gu Jinyan's heart sank suddenly. He knew that Mr. Li represented one of the most important partners of their company. If he...

"Let him in." Gu Jinyan took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.

Mr. Li walked into the office with a meaningful smile on his face, and slowly said: "Mr. Gu, I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gu Jinyan's sharp eyes.

The fake smile on Mr. Li's face gradually disappeared under Gu Jinyan's sharp gaze, replaced by a barely perceptible smugness. "Mr. Gu, you also know that the business world is like a battlefield, and our company also has to consider its own interests. The conditions offered by the 'Obsidian' organization are very tempting, we..."

"So you choose to betray us and go along with those despicable villains?!" Gu Jinyan slammed the table and stood up, his anger almost bursting out of his chest.

"You can't say that, Mr. Gu." Mr. Li calmly adjusted his suit, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "The 'Obsidian' organization promised that as long as we stop cooperating with the Gu Group, they will help us open up overseas markets. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us!"

Gu Jinyan clenched his fists tightly, veins popping out. He knew that what Mr. Li said was true. The "Obsidian" organization was powerful and had tentacles all over the world. If they really wanted to support Mr. Li's company, then the Gu Group...

"Mr. Li, I hope you will reconsider this." Su Li's voice was calm and firm. "Gu Group has cooperated with your company for many years and has always maintained a good relationship. Do you want to give up the friendship of so many years for the sake of immediate interests?"

"Ms. Su, you are still too naive." Mr. Li sneered, "Business is ruthless. There are only eternal interests, no eternal friends. The Gu Group is in trouble now. I advise you to..."

Before Mr. Li finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Jinyan coldly: "Mr. Li, please leave! Our Gu Group can still get through the difficulties even without your support!"

A hint of viciousness flashed in Mr. Li's eyes. He put down the cooperation termination agreement in his hand, stood up, and said in a cold tone: "I hope you will not regret your decision today, Mr. Gu."

"Get out!" Gu Jinyan roared and threw all the documents on the table to the ground.

Mr. Li didn't say anything else and turned to leave the office. In the empty office, only Gu Jinyan and Su Li were left, and the air was filled with suffocating depression and despair.

"The ultimate goal of the Obsidian organization is to completely defeat the Gu Group." Su Li's voice trembled slightly, "If we can't find a countermeasure in a short period of time, then..."

"No, I won't let them succeed!" Gu Jinyan raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashing with determination. He grabbed Su Li's hand and said firmly, "We can definitely get through this difficult time!"

Su Li looked at the man in front of her, and an inexplicable power surged in her heart. Yes, they still have each other, and there are so many people who care about them, they can definitely overcome all difficulties!

Just then, Gu Jinyan's cell phone suddenly rang, and the caller ID showed the number of the company's financial director.

"Boss Gu, this is bad..." The anxious voice of the financial director came from the other end of the line, "The company's funding chain...is broken..."

Gu Jinyan's face suddenly changed, and his phone slipped from his hand and fell on the carpet with a dull sound. Su Li's heart also sank suddenly, and an unprecedented sense of fear surrounded her tightly.

Gu Jinyan slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to keep himself calm. He knew that now was not the time to despair, he had to find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise...

He suddenly opened his eyes, with a resolute light flashing in his eyes. He looked at Su Li and said word by word: "Now, we can only bear everything and give it a try..."
