Due to the major incident involving the Huangtu Group, even Ye Xunhuan who always disregarded any business affairs has come to know about it.

Upon learning this news, Ye Xunhuan immediately fell into deep thought!

The incident was too sudden, like a violent storm that poured down unexpectedly, leaving no time to prepare or to take any precautionary measures.

This led Ye Xunhuan to instantly detect a scent of conspiracy.

The person capable of orchestrating all of this from behind the scenes, and with such speed, must have been plotting for a long time. Moreover, they must possess considerable influence; otherwise, they could not have stirred up such a big commotion!

After all, Mei Hanqing had already taken care of all the employees injured in the fire, and there were police and individuals like Xiaojie keeping an eye on everything.

Yet, something still went wrong.

There was only one possibility: the adversary was very powerful, and very frightening.

Was it Qiu Ruoxi’s enemy in the business field, the Lin family, or the Mu family?

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan was completely unable to determine who was behind this.

But Ye Xunhuan knew in his heart that this must be an unprecedented crisis for Qiu Ruoxi and for the entire Huangtu Group!

Because of this incident, Ye Xunhuan was in no mood to play games; his entire being was consumed with trying to figure out who the perpetrator behind the scenes was.

Was the other party targeting Qiu Ruoxi, or using this incident as a smokescreen to divert his attention to devise a plan against him?

After a long time, Ye Xunhuan sighed helplessly.

He couldn’t come up with any clue.

Then, Ye Xunhuan stood up from his desk and prepared to go see Qiu Ruoxi.

With such an incident occurring at Huangtu Group, Qiu Ruoxi must be more troubled and busier than anyone else, and she might also have to face an investigation by public security agencies!

Arriving at the door of Qiu Ruoxi’s office, Ye Xunhuan, as usual, didn’t knock and just pushed the door open and entered.

After pushing the door and walking into the office, Ye Xunhuan immediately saw Qiu Ruoxi.

Today, Qiu Ruoxi wasn’t sitting at her desk working; instead, she was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly looking outside, her mind wandering to who knows where, not even noticing Ye Xunhuan walk in.

Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan immediately walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window.

Perhaps it was the sound of Ye Xunhuan’s footsteps that startled Qiu Ruoxi, who was lost in thought, causing her eyebrows to furrow slightly.

Almost instinctively, she turned her head to look in the direction of the sound.

When she saw the visitor was Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Ruoxi withdrew her gaze and turned to look outside again!

"Wife, are you okay?" Ye Xunhuan asked softly, looking at Qiu Ruoxi’s indifferent face.

"I’m fine!" There wasn’t the slightest hint of emotion in Qiu Ruoxi’s voice; it was as cold as the sound of a machine!

In response, a bitter smile couldn’t help but appear at the corners of Ye Xunhuan’s mouth: "Wife, I know your mood must be bad with the company facing such an incident!"

"But don’t take it too hard. Everything will pass. True gold is not afraid of the fire’s test, and how can one see a rainbow without experiencing the storm?" Ye Xunhuan comforted her: "Just treat this as a trial!"

Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Qiu Ruoxi slowly shifted her gaze back onto him: "I am not that fragile!"

"Of course, you’re not that fragile!" Ye Xunhuan said softly: "You are Qiu Ruoxi, the president of the Huangtu Group. How could you be easily defeated?"

"You don’t need to flatter me. Rest assured, I’m fine!"

Qiu Ruoxi knew that Ye Xunhuan was worried about her, fearing that she might not be able to cope with this series of blows at once.

But she really wasn’t that fragile.

"Wife, do you have any lead on this matter?" Ye Xunhuan asked softly.

Qiu Ruoxi shook her head and said, "I have no idea who would want to put me in such a deadly predicament!"

After this series of news came out, the stock of Huangtu Corporation had been plummeting, and at an extremely fast rate. If it weren’t for Qiu Ruoxi having a team of professional handlers in control, the Huangtu Corporation’s market board would have probably tumbled down miserably by now!

Furthermore, it’s foreseeable that, after the stock market opens tomorrow, the recently recovered shares of Huangtu Corporation will go downhill again, and it might even be wildly so!

If the adversary continues to exert control like this, Huangtu Corporation will truly face a collapse!

"You have no clue at all?" Ye Xunhuan inquired with a frown.

Originally, Ye Xunhuan thought he could get some information from Qiu Ruoxi, then handle the opponent in his own way, perfectly resolving the issue.

But now, Qiu Ruoxi said she had no idea, and even if he was willing, it was beyond his power!

Qiu Ruoxi pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "The other side has been planning this for a long time, and almost all of the news spread from online sources. They’re so tight that finding them is incredibly difficult!"

"What about the IP address?"

"Do you think that if they dared to do this, they would let you find them?"

Ye Xunhuan was momentarily at a loss for words.

Indeed, if they dared to do this, then they certainly would not give Qiu Ruoxi any chance to find them, and they would not afford Qiu Ruoxi any breather either!

The next moment, Ye Xunhuan exhaled a pent-up breath, his face filled with a helpless look.

This was truly the first time Ye Xunhuan had encountered such a troublesome issue in his life; he had never faced this during his underworld days!

Moreover, in the underworld, might makes right; everything was about fighting with fists. In front of absolute power, all schemes and intrigues were virtually nonexistent. But now, it was all about cunning and manipulation in the business world!

Just at this moment, the door of Qiu Ruoxi’s office was suddenly knocked from the outside.

Upon hearing the knock, both Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan almost simultaneously turned their gazes toward the door!

Immediately after, Qiu Ruoxi’s clear voice echoed in the office: "Come in!"

No sooner had Qiu Ruoxi finished speaking than the office door was pushed open from outside, and Qianhuan Lanqin, dressed in a pink OL business suit, walked in.

When she saw Ye Xunhuan standing with Qiu Ruoxi in the office, Qianhuan Lanqin was slightly startled, but then quickly regained her composure, ignoring Ye Xunhuan, and directly said to Qiu Ruoxi, "President, Xu Mingzhe wants to see you. Will you meet him now?"

Xu Mingzhe?

Upon hearing those three words, Qiu Ruoxi’s brows immediately knit together.

What is Xu Mingzhe doing here at this time?

Not only was Qiu Ruoxi baffled, but Ye Xunhuan also had no idea what Xu Mingzhe was up to coming here now!

After a brief moment of contemplation, Qiu Ruoxi slowly said, "Let him come in!"

Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s words, Qianhuan Lanqin did not say much but respectfully left to bring Xu Mingzhe in.

"Wife, what’s he doing here at this time?" Ye Xunhuan asked, puzzled, "He’s not planning to take advantage of the situation, is he?"
