After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

As night falls and the lights come on, the hustle and bustle of the city has nothing to do with them. A silent contest begins in the darkness... The screen of the mobile phone on the desk suddenly lights up, and an anonymous text message comes into view: "Don't check again, otherwise..." followed by a skull emoticon.

Xiang Yu's eyes shone, and a chill ran from his feet to his head. His fingers holding the phone tightened slightly, his knuckles turned white, and the phone screen reflected his angular face, which looked unusually cold at the moment.

"What's wrong?" Jack keenly noticed Xiang Yu's change and asked.

Xiang Yu didn't say anything, but handed the phone to him. Jack took the phone, his eyes fell on the screen, and his face became solemn.

"It seems they can't sit still any longer." Jack said in a deep voice, "Mr. Xiang, what should we do now?"

"Humph, such a petty trick!" Xiang Yu snorted coldly, with a fierce look in his eyes. "Do they think they can scare us like this?"

"But..." Jack hesitated. He glanced at Xiang Yu, then at the text message on his phone, his face full of worry. "Mr. Xiang, for safety reasons, should we suspend the investigation and wait until we find out the source of this text message?"

"No!" Xiang Yu refused decisively, "We have already alerted the enemy. If we retreat at this time, they will only become more unscrupulous!"

"But..." Jack wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Xiang Yu's wave of his hand.

"Jack, I know what you're worried about, but we can't give up just because of a little threat." Xiang Yu walked to the French window, overlooking the brightly lit city night scene, and said firmly, "We have come this far, there is no turning back."

Jack was silent. He knew Xiang Yu's character. Once he made a decision, he would never change it easily.

"Don't worry," Xiang Yu seemed to see through his thoughts and patted his shoulder, "I will arrange for the staff to ensure the safety of you and Lucy."

"I'm not worried about myself..." Jack looked up at Xiang Yu, but swallowed the words back. He knew that it was useless to say anything now, and he could only try his best to do his job and ensure that everything went well.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door and Yan Jin pushed it open, breaking the heavy atmosphere in the office.

"Is everything arranged?" Xiang Yu turned around and asked Yan Jin.

"Well, I have arranged two bodyguards to protect Lucy 24 hours a day." Yan Jin said, walked to Xiang Yu's side, and his eyes fell on the phone in his hand, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Xiang Yu handed the phone to Yan Jin and briefly told her what had just happened.

After Yan Jin heard this, her expression became serious. She pondered for a moment and said, "This should be Howard's warning. It seems that our investigation has touched upon his core interests."

"Then we can't stop!" Xiang Yu said firmly, "Jack, contact Interpol immediately..."

"Wait!" Yan Jin suddenly interrupted Xiang Yu, "I don't think things are that simple. This text message may just be a cover..."

"A cover?" Jack and Xiang Yu asked in unison.

Yan Jin did not answer directly, but walked to the desk, picked up a document, scanned the data on it, and frowned slightly: "Since Howard dared to blatantly conduct illegal transactions, it means that he must have a bigger backer behind him, and..."

She paused, her eyes fell on Xiang Yu, and she said word by word: "The person they really want to deal with is you."

"Me?" Xiang Yu was slightly startled, then sneered, "If they want to deal with me, they have to see if they have the ability to do so!"

"It's better to be safe than sorry." Yan Jin said in a serious tone, "We can't let our guard down. I think..."

"Enough!" Xiang Yu stood up suddenly and interrupted Yan Jin, "What we are discussing now is not whether to stop the investigation, but..."

He turned around abruptly, his eyes flashing with determination, "How can we bring them to justice as quickly as possible!"

"Enough!" Xiang Yu stood up suddenly and interrupted Yan Jin, "What we are discussing now is not whether to stop the investigation, but..." He turned around suddenly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes, "How can we bring them to justice as quickly as possible!"

Yan Jin took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and said firmly: "I think this text message is just a bluff. Their purpose is to make us lose our composure and stop the investigation."

"But..." Jack wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Yan Jin's eyes.

"Xiang Yu, you have to trust my judgment." Yan Jin walked up to him and looked him straight in the eye. "If we back down now because of a threatening text message, wouldn't that be playing into their hands? The more scared we are, the more arrogant they will become. The more we back down, the more aggressive they will become!"

Xiang Yu was silent. He knew Yan Jin was right, but he was more worried about her safety.

"Don't worry," Yan Jin reached out and gently smoothed his frown, as if seeing through his thoughts, "I won't joke about my own safety."

At this time, Tom, the financial consultant who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up: "You two, I think what Ms. Yan said makes sense. We can't give up the investigation just because of the other party's intimidation."

He paused, and then continued: "However, we cannot take it lightly. After all, our opponent this time is extraordinary. We must be fully prepared to deal with any situation that may arise."

Tom's words calmed Xiang Yu and Jack down. They realized that the top priority now was to make a more careful plan rather than act on impulse.

"Tom, do you have any suggestions?" Xiang Yu asked.

"I think we should split up into two groups," Tom said after thinking for a moment. "On the one hand, Attorney Jack will continue to follow up on Interpol's investigation. On the other hand, we should intensify our investigation of the target company and try to find evidence of their illegal activities as soon as possible."

"Okay, let's do it!" Xiang Yu nodded in agreement. "Jack, contact Interpol immediately, tell them what we have learned, and ask them to assist in the investigation."

"Understood!" Jack took the order and left.

"Tom, how about you? Is there anything I can do for you?" Xiang Yu turned and looked at Tom.

"I need you to arrange for someone to protect Lucy's safety 24 hours a day." Tom said solemnly, "I'm worried that the other party will harm Lucy. After all, she is the bridge between us and local financial institutions."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Xiang Yu said, picking up his phone and dialing a number, "Hello, it's me. I'll arrange a few people right away to protect Lucy's safety 24 hours a day. Remember, you must ensure her safety. No chance of error!"

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Yu turned to look at Yan Jin and said firmly, "Don't worry, I will protect your safety."

Yan Jin smiled slightly, with a confident light in his eyes: "I believe you."

However, what they didn't know was that danger was quietly approaching. The next day, when Lucy was communicating with the head of a local financial institution, she suddenly found that the other party's attitude had subtly changed...

"I'm sorry, Miss Lucy, I think we may need to reconsider our previous cooperation..." The other person in charge said with a flickering tone, his eyes wandering, as if he was deliberately avoiding Lucy's gaze.

Lucy's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came over her...

Lucy suppressed her anxiety, kept a professional smile on her face, and asked calmly, "May I ask what made you change your mind? We have always had a pleasant cooperation before, and as you know, this merger is also a rare opportunity for your company..."

However, the person in charge of the other party was vague and only said that the company's senior management had recently adjusted its overseas investment strategy, and the specific details were not convenient to disclose. Lucy keenly realized that the other party was obviously lying, but who was the person behind him, and why did he want to stop this merger?

Lucy ended the conversation calmly, and after returning to the hotel, she immediately reported the situation to Yan Jin.

"It seems that our actions have affected the interests of some people." After listening to Lucy's report, Yan Jin frowned and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Xiang Yu's face also became very ugly. He realized that this opponent was more difficult to deal with than they had imagined. They were like poisonous snakes hiding in the dark, ready to give them a fatal blow at any time.

"What are you going to do?" Xiang Yu looked at Yan Jin, his eyes full of worry. He knew that Yan Jin was always decisive and never gave up easily, but he was more worried about her safety.

"Since they want to play, then we will play with them!" Yan Jin's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he said in a cold tone, "We can't just sit there and wait for death, we must take the initiative!"

"What do you want to do?" Xiang Yu asked. He knew that Yan Jin must have a plan in mind.

Yan Jin walked to the window, looked into the distance with deep eyes, and said in a firm tone: "Don't they want us to retreat in the face of difficulties? Then we will take advantage of their tricks and make them think that we have given up the investigation and let down our guard, and then..."

She paused, a cold smile appeared on her lips, "Give them another fatal blow!"

Xiang Yu did not say anything else, but just looked at Yan Jin quietly. He knew that a new storm was coming...

In the next few days, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu released news that they had decided to abandon the acquisition of the target company and turn their attention to other projects. At the same time, they secretly strengthened the protection of Lucy and arranged for people to secretly investigate the background of the head of the financial institution, trying to find out the manipulator behind him.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to Yan Jin's plan, but what they didn't know was that a bigger net had quietly opened up to them...

"What did you say? They want to withdraw their investment?"

Xiang Yu received a call from his assistant and stood up suddenly, his face livid. "What did you say? They want to withdraw their investment?" Xiang Yu received a call from his assistant and stood up suddenly, his face livid. His knuckles holding the phone turned slightly white due to excessive force. The assistant's anxious voice on the other end of the phone continued: "...Yes, Mr. Xiang, two investment institutions suddenly notified us this afternoon and asked us to withdraw all investment funds, and..."

The assistant seemed to be hesitating. Xiang Yu suppressed his anger and asked coldly, "And what?"

"And they also hinted that if we continue investigating, they will take further action." The assistant's voice became smaller and smaller, obviously frightened by the other party's threats.

Xiang Yu hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. The other party attacked so quickly, and every move hit their vital points, obviously they were well prepared.

He walked quickly to the French window, looking at the hustle and bustle of the city, and constantly analyzing the current situation in his mind. The other party chose to attack them at this time, and the purpose was very clear, that is, to use the pressure of the capital chain to force them to give up the investigation.

"What's wrong?" Yan Jin noticed that Xiang Yu was acting strangely and walked over to ask.

Xiang Yu turned around, looked at Yan Jin, and briefly told her what had happened.

"It seems that we underestimated the other party's determination." After listening to this, Yan Jin frowned, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes. They originally thought that releasing the news of giving up the acquisition would allow the other party to relax their vigilance and buy themselves more time, but they did not expect that the other party would be so determined and directly take ruthless action against them.

"What should we do now? If the capital chain is broken, all our efforts will be in vain." Xiang Yu's tone was a little anxious. Although he was confident in his company, the other party was coming with great momentum and obviously had a powerful background, so he had to be on guard.

Yan Jin walked up to him, reached out and held his hand, and said in a firm tone: "Don't worry, I won't let them succeed." Her hand was warm and powerful, like a stream of warmth flowing into Xiang Yu's heart, gradually calming his originally anxious mood.

"The most important thing now is to stabilize the situation and not lose our composure." Yan Jin analyzed calmly, "I will contact other investors and win their support. At the same time, we must adjust our strategy and not conduct investigations as blatantly as before."

Xiang Yu nodded. He knew that Yan Jin was right. The current situation did not allow them to fight head-on anymore. They had to take a more cautious approach to find out the truth while ensuring their own safety.

"I will arrange personnel and strengthen security measures to protect your safety." Xiang Yu looked at Yan Jin, his eyes full of worry and determination.

"Yeah." Yan Jin responded softly, turning his gaze to the window with a deep and firm look in his eyes.

As night fell and the city lights came on, behind the bustle, a silent battle had just begun. Xiang Yu picked up his phone and dialed a number, "Help me check someone..."
