"I am informing you now that our cooperation has come to an end!"

Another angry roar came from the other end of the phone.

"This is the end of our cooperation? Mr. Cao, why?"

Li Youcai shuddered immediately.

They invested two or three hundred million yuan in this project, with more than one hundred million yuan spent on General Manager Cao alone.

At this moment, the main members of the Li family were all present. Although Li Youcai was on the phone, everyone quieted down and listened attentively when they heard it was President Cao's voice. They naturally heard the contents of the call.

They were just discussing this project enthusiastically, and now they're saying they want to cancel the cooperation and terminate the contract?

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Li Youcai.

"why?

You fucking ask me? Who am I supposed to ask?

Do you have no idea how much effort I put into getting this project for your Li family?

Do you really think I can run the household all by myself?

There's also a supervising authority above that!

"I've run around so many times for your Li family, my legs are practically broken, and I finally got the project finalized, and now you've ruined it!"

On the other end of the phone, Cao's angry curses grew even more furious.

This left everyone in the Li family completely bewildered.

"Mr. Cao, can you tell me what exactly happened?"

Li Youcai said in a trembling voice.

He could hear the exasperation in President Cao's tone. After all, the Li family had spent a lot of money on President Cao, and with the project canceled, President Cao had to return the benefits he had received from the Li family.

What's the reason?

Who knows what heinous things your Li family has done, or which big shot you've offended!

The head of the superior authority just called me and asked me to revoke the Li family's business license!

"Li Youcai, tell me, who exactly has your Li family offended?"

General Manager Cao roared hysterically.

He really didn't want to return the money he took from the Li family, and he was even more worried that the supervising authorities would directly intervene and designate a partner, in which case he would have lost everything.

"Offend people?"

"Mr. Cao, our Li family has been focusing on this project these past few days and hasn't offended anyone, has we?"

Li Youcai directly denied it.

Just because you haven't offended anyone doesn't mean the rest of the Li family hasn't!

You should quickly ask your son, grandson, and others if those brats have done something heinous, or offended some powerful figure!

Although President Cao was furious, he had not completely given up.

After all, he was in charge of this project. If the higher-level authorities really interfered, he would be completely sidelined and wouldn't get a single penny of benefit.

Moreover, he would have to take responsibility if the project ran into problems.

"Tell me quickly! Have you offended anyone in the past two days?"

Li Youcai naturally understood what Boss Cao meant. He looked at his family members beside him and roared.

"We haven't offended anyone! We've been busy with the project these past few days!"

The crowd shouted in unison, simultaneously expressing their support to General Manager Cao on the other end of the phone.

"Li Youcai, you must find out the truth as soon as possible and resolve this matter!"

I can only buy you one more day at most!

Otherwise, this project will be completely ruined for you!

Don't blame me later for being heartless and not helping you!

Suppressing his anger, President Cao gave another word of advice.

The meaning is clear: your Li family should quickly find a way to find the root cause of the problem and solve it fundamentally; he can help stall for another day.

But if he can't find the cause or solve the problem, Cao won't show any mercy, and he certainly won't return the benefits he received before.

"Thank you, Mr. Cao! Thank you, Mr. Cao!"

Li Youcai expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

With a click, the phone call ended.

Li Youcai plopped down on the sofa, his face extremely grim. His gaze swept over each person's face, and his voice grew colder and colder: "Now you all need to tell me honestly who has caused this huge disaster and which important person they have offended."

Everyone looked innocent and lowered their heads.

Although the Li family is now very wealthy and powerful, this is still a major project that could bring in billions in profits.

More importantly, once you secure and succeed in this project and establish a reputation, you'll be able to win other projects in the industry.

This is not just about a project with billions in profits; it's about an entire industry chain!

They had finally established this industrial chain, and they had to do a good job from the start. This was also a crucial step for the Li family to fully enter this industry.

"All of you, raise your heads! Now, one by one, speak to me!"

Seeing that everyone had their heads down, Li Youcai became even angrier and shouted at them.

But before he could finish speaking, his phone rang again.

The shrill ringtone startled him. He quickly looked at his phone and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the caller ID.

It wasn't General Manager Cao, but another business partner, a long-term collaborator and a key person in charge of the business.

This person has always had a good relationship with the Li family, and they get along well.

"Chairman Yu, it's so late, why are you calling me all of a sudden?"

Li Youcai tried to calm himself down and asked with a smile.

"Li Youcai! Who exactly has your Li family offended? Why is it that a big shot is suddenly calling me, telling me to terminate all cooperation with you and cancel all contracts?"

On the other end of the phone, Chairman Yu's loud shout came through.

"Terminate all contracts?"

Li Youcai's heart jumped into his throat, and he involuntarily repeated a sentence, his voice trembling.

"Yes! Someone is demanding that we terminate all contracts with you immediately!"

The other party reiterated their affirmation.

"Chairman Yu, you...you're not kidding me, are you?"

Li Youcai trembled all over.

We haven't even figured out what happened with that project yet, and now even our long-term partners are terminating all cooperation. This is even more terrifying than losing that project, since it's the foundation the Li family has built up over many years, and a solid ally!

"Old man! You think I'm just joking around with you because I have nothing better to do?"

You need to find out right away who you offended!

Otherwise, I'm really worried that your Li family is doomed!

"Mr. Yu, could you tell me which important person called you?"

"Don't ask about that, that's someone you can't afford to offend!"

And without his permission, I dared not reveal his identity, otherwise I would be dead!

After the other party finished speaking, they hung up the phone immediately.

How could this be?

Li Youcai felt dizzy and his body swayed, but fortunately his second son quickly supported him.

The Li family members present heard the contents of the phone call clearly, and their expressions changed drastically.

This is absolutely no coincidence; it's clear that someone is trying to frame the Li family!

But who exactly offended which important figure?

The atmosphere instantly became depressing.

However, not long after, Li Youcai's phone rang again.

This time, the caller was neither General Manager Cao nor Chairman Yu, but another long-term partner.

The moment Li Youcai saw the contact's name, his heart skipped a beat, and he trembled all over. Even the people next to him turned pale when they saw the name on the phone.

The phone kept ringing, and after fifteen seconds, Li Youcai had no choice but to press the answer button.

As soon as the call connected, a furious roar came from the other end: "Li Youcai! You old bastard, is your Li family courting death?"

Who on earth did I offend that someone would ask me to terminate all my contracts with you?
