The ancient war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in a wealthy family
Chapter 139: Fearless Challenge, Rebuilding the Legend
……
In the corner of the banquet hall, those men in black suddenly pulled out their weapons and pointed them at Bank Manager Sun who was chatting and laughing with his business partner Wang!
Screams rang out one after another, the crowd was in chaos in an instant, the cheerful music stopped abruptly, and was replaced by terrified shouts and hurried footsteps.
My heart sank suddenly, and my premonition became reality.
This was not just a simple act of vandalism, but a premeditated attack!
I held Zhan Yu's hand tightly, and his hand also held mine, firmly and powerfully.
He took a deep breath without saying anything. I lowered my voice and said to Zhan Yu, "You protect Manager Sun and President Wang. I'll go and see what's going on." Zhan Yu looked at me deeply and nodded without any hesitation.
I turned around, scanned the chaotic crowd with my sharp eyes, and walked towards the men in black.
My steps are firm and my eyes are cold, like the calm before the storm.
The surrounding noise seemed to be blocked by a thin film, and only those men in black remained in my world.
I felt a powerful force surging from deep within my heart. It was the pride and determination inherent in Miss Bai's bones. At this moment, I was fearless!
When I approached the men in black, I didn't act rashly, but instead observed their actions carefully.
They are well-trained and have good coordination, and are obviously not ordinary thugs.
Who sent them?
What is their purpose?
My mind raced through possibilities.
Just then, I noticed one of the men in black quietly slipping a small device into Manager Sun's pocket...
I suddenly realized that their target wasn't Manager Sun's life, but...
"Stop!" I shouted sternly.
My shout attracted everyone's attention, including the men in black.
They obviously didn't expect me to show up at this time and were stunned for a moment.
I took the opportunity to rush forward, grabbed the wrist of the man in black who was plugging the device, and twisted it hard.
He felt pain and dropped the device in his hand to the ground.
I was quick-witted and crushed it with one foot.
Seeing this, the other men in black immediately surrounded them.
I was not afraid at all. I dodged their attacks nimbly while looking for opportunities to counterattack.
My movements were clean and neat, without any drag, as if I was back in the days at the Bai family training ground.
Zhan Yu also joined the battle. He was agile and his moves were deadly. He quickly knocked down several men in black.
At this moment, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open, and a group of police rushed in and quickly controlled the remaining men in black.
The crisis was over, I breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed as if all the strength in my body had been drained away.
In the following days, we fully cooperated with the police investigation.
After interrogation, the man in black confessed the mastermind behind the scenes - it turned out to be shareholder Zheng!
He planned the attack because he was dissatisfied with the transformation of the Zhan family's business and worried that his own interests would be damaged.
I simply couldn't believe that Mr. Zheng, who usually looked gentle and polite, would actually do such a thing!
After shareholder Zheng was arrested, a major purge was carried out within the Zhan family enterprise, and some corrupt officials who colluded with shareholder Zheng were also eliminated.
Although this incident has brought us a considerable impact, it has also made us more united and more determined in the direction of transformation.
Trainer Li stepped up crisis management and safety precautions training for employees to ensure that similar incidents would not happen again.
Not long after, news came that Yang's competitor's company was on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management due to previous unfair competition practices.
I was relieved to learn that his previously mysterious little actions were nothing more than a last-ditch struggle, and I was also happy about his passing.
Zhan Yu put his arm around my shoulders and whispered in my ear, "Your calmness always helps resolve crises. I'm really lucky to have you by my side." His breath was warm, making me feel at ease.
I leaned against him, enjoying this moment of peace.
Business partner Wang came over with a complicated expression on his face. He patted Zhan Yu on the shoulder and said, "Zhan Yu, thanks to you and your sister-in-law this time, I..." He paused, as if there was something he couldn't say, "I had some misunderstandings about your transformation plan before, but now it seems..." Before he finished speaking, my cell phone suddenly rang.
I saw the caller ID and my face changed instantly...
It’s the Bai family’s call.
On the other end of the phone, my brother's voice was low and rapid: "Little sister, grandpa... is critically ill." My heart tightened, as if being gripped by an invisible big hand.
Without thinking too much, Zhan Yu and I immediately booked the earliest flight back to the Bai family.
Back at the Bai family, the atmosphere was suffocatingly solemn.
I saw my grandfather lying on the hospital bed, his face pale and his breathing weak.
My tears instantly burst out, and I rushed to the bed and held my grandfather's hand.
Grandpa's condition is worse than I thought.
The doctor said that due to his age and previous illnesses, he might...
I didn’t dare to think about it anymore. I just held my grandfather’s hand tightly and prayed silently that he would get better.
Zhan Yu has always been by my side, giving me comfort and strength.
He arranged the best medical team, invited well-known experts from home and abroad for consultation, and tried every means to buy time for his grandfather.
Thanks to our efforts, grandpa's condition finally stabilized. Although he is not completely out of danger, it at least gives us a glimmer of hope.
Just when I felt a little relieved, good news came from the company.
With the complete decline of Yang's competitor's business, our Zhan family company took the opportunity to absorb some of their outstanding employees and resources.
The addition of these new forces has given our new industry a boost, and our profits have increased significantly.
The shareholders were full of praise for me. Shareholder Zheng, who had always opposed me, even said he would give me extra rewards and treat me to a meal, saying he wanted to thank me very much.
His flattering look made me feel a little uncomfortable, but I still agreed.
Business partner Wang saw the current prosperity of the Zhan family enterprise and fully recognized our transformation plan.
He personally went to apologize and expressed his hope to continue in-depth cooperation and jointly develop a larger market.
This shift marks the removal of all obstacles on our path to transformation.
I feel extremely gratified and proud.
But just when I thought everything was moving in the right direction, I was flipping through the latest financial statements when my fingertips suddenly stopped.
My eyes were fixed on an insignificant number on the report, and my heart beat suddenly accelerated.
It's like a ripple on the surface of a calm lake, seemingly insignificant, but it could indicate danger lurking deep within...
"Zhanyu," I said with a trembling voice, "Come here for a moment. I seem to have discovered something."
