Counterattack starts with controlling probability

Just when everything seemed to be going smoothly, a sudden storm put all members of Li Hao's team into unprecedented difficulties.

A letter of complaint suddenly arrived and landed on the desk of the regulatory department. The content of the complaint shocked everyone.

The letter stated that Li Hao illegally absorbed public deposits through certain improper means and was suspected of manipulating investor funds.

The language of the report was sharp and harsh, and it almost pushed Li Hao to the forefront.

Although he has always abided by the rules and followed the principles of legality and compliance, this report undoubtedly plunged him into a whirlpool of public opinion.

Li Hao stood in front of the office window, his eyes blank. The city scene in front of him was blurred. His heart felt like it was being pressed down by something heavy, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Meanwhile, Xu Lei also got into trouble.

An online discussion thread about him quickly spread on social platforms, accusing him of secretly organizing and participating in multiple illegal investigations, using technical means to obtain inappropriate information, and even suspected of malicious attacks on certain competitors.

Although Xu Lei usually keeps a low profile and avoids the public eye, in the virtual world of the Internet, a small spark can cause a huge fire.

He looked at the comments under his name, feeling a mixture of anger and helplessness in his heart, and was eagerly looking for a way to fight back.

And Chen Kai also failed to escape the storm.

A piece of "exposure" suddenly broke out on an anonymous social platform - claiming that Chen Kai successfully entered Peking University and Tsinghua University through the backdoor through connections, and that there were unknown dark secrets behind his postgraduate entrance examination re-examination results.

As soon as the news came out, it quickly attracted widespread attention, and the media and netizens focused their attention on Chen Kai.

The image of Peking University and Tsinghua University was also affected. Although the school quickly came out to clarify, the storm is still difficult to calm down.

Chen Kai's mood hit rock bottom. He thought his efforts would be recognized, but he didn't expect to be troubled by such malicious accusations.

What gave Li Hao the most headache was that Liu Xia was also caught up in this storm.

The brand image of Xinxing Zhitou, which had been constantly improving, is now rapidly collapsing due to a non-existent advertising problem.

A certain platform showed that "Liu Xia" once promoted a standardized product of a new star. The advertisement used exaggerated and false propaganda language and did not clearly disclose the risks, which violated the Advertising Law.

This violation was exposed by competitors and immediately attracted widespread public attention. The regulatory authorities launched a rigorous investigation into Xinxing Zhitou.

Liu Xia felt completely hopeless. She knew that at this critical juncture, even some frame-ups and groundless rumors would be a huge blow to her and New Star Investment, especially in the current situation where almost no one could withstand the pressure of public opinion.

At this moment, a key project of Li Hao’s team - a merger and acquisition plan for an AI company - was suddenly stopped.

Nova Insight is currently negotiating a merger and acquisition with a well-known AI technology company. This company is considered an important step for Nova Insight to expand into the field of artificial intelligence and is also a core part of Li Hao's future plans.

But at the most critical moment, regulators temporarily froze the transaction on the grounds of "non-compliance with the review."

Li Hao was stunned in front of the phone, unable to express the shock and anger in his heart.

Almost all the efforts and preparations seemed to be paused at this moment by an invisible force.

This sudden multiple blow was like a gust of wind, disrupting the steps of Li Hao and his team members one by one.

At this moment, Li Hao's face was gloomy, his hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles were white, as if he could feel the blood flow being suppressed.

He knew very well that this was a test, a moment of fateful decision.

The outside world is in constant turmoil and his inner confusion is getting deeper and deeper. He must find a glimmer of hope in this storm and lead the team through this unprecedented difficulty.

However, in the midst of his inner chaos, Li Hao suddenly had an idea: the attack behind this may not be completely accidental. Those seemingly seamless accusations and reports seemed to be premeditated and organized.

He began to recall some inexplicable news and the possible conspiracies behind it over a period of time.

He couldn't help but feel a strong intuition in his heart - this might be a carefully designed trap against him.

So, Li Hao decided not to sit and wait for death, but to take the initiative.

Just then, Li Hao's cell phone rang.

He lowered his head and saw a text message from Xu Lei -

"Li Hao, do you remember that email? I found a clue!"

Li Hao's heartbeat suddenly stopped, he quickly picked up his phone and started reading the message.

"I dug deeper into the email's source and the recipient's IP address and discovered some anomalies. The sender of the email wasn't an external investment institution, a competitor, or an anonymous whistleblower, but rather a 'fake' email address within our organization."

"This email address was carefully disguised, but I tracked some port data and found that it passed through proxy servers in several countries and was eventually sent to the regulatory authorities. The purpose was clear - to put you and your team in the spotlight."

"What's even more interesting is that all the information on this 'fake' email address points to an unknown investment institution that had contacted us before."

Li Hao frowned slightly, feeling that things were becoming more and more complicated.

Xu Lei's analysis made him realize that this email was far more than a simple anonymous report, but rather a carefully planned conspiracy. He quickly replied, "Who is that investment institution?"

Xu Lei's reply came quickly: "It was the fund company called 'White Rock Capital'. We had contact with them before, but they ultimately chose not to cooperate."

"After further investigation, I found that there are some very complex financial and equity structures behind this company, and there are multiple hidden interest groups closely related to the international financial circle supporting them."

Li Hao's mind suddenly became clear. He remembered that although "White Rock Capital" had contacted them, due to ideological differences and excessive risks, no substantive cooperation was achieved.

However, as Xu Lei said, there is much more hidden behind this company than what he once saw on the surface.

Blackstone Capital is not a simple investment company, but a huge financial machine with a complex network behind it.

Coupled with his relationship with several large multinational companies, this caused Li Hao's view of the entire incident to subtly change.

He began to realize that this crisis might not just be a contest between individuals or companies, but also a game involving the global financial landscape.

Li Hao pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision: "Continue to investigate and find the real person behind Blackstone Capital."

He knew that once the hidden chain of interests behind this was revealed, he would be able to find the black hands that were trying to bring him and his team down.

However, Xu Lei's next message made Li Hao feel even more depressed: "Li Hao, this isn't just Blackstone's unilateral manipulation. There's a key point we haven't noticed yet. Do you remember any collaboration we've had with Universal Group?"

Li Hao frowned.

Universal Group, the company owned by Chen Kai's father that cooperates closely with them, actually had problems?

Suddenly, he thought of something and asked hurriedly: "Did you find anything?"

Xu Lei responded, "I've discovered that Huanyu Group has had numerous in-depth collaborations with Baiyan Capital, and even provided financial support in certain areas. More importantly, Chen Qiming has had contact with Baiyan Capital, and the source of this accusation also happens to have some connection to Huanyu Group."

Li Hao was suddenly shocked, as if he was hit by a huge shock wave.

He knew that behind all these seemingly coincidental events might not be simple business competition.

The relationship between Chen Qiming and Blackstone Capital, as well as the shadow behind the OneWorld Group, seems to be at the core of all the problems.

He took a deep breath and sorted out his thoughts: "This matter is more complicated than we thought."

He finally realized that every decision he and his team made seemed to be precisely guided by someone with ulterior motives.

Those seemingly accidental events gradually pieced together into a grand picture.

He remembered that Chen Qiming had mentioned negotiations with a large investment institution a few months ago, and that institution was Baiyan Capital.

All this made his heart tighten.

Could it be that all these conspiracies behind this are related to Chen Qiming's partnership?

But Chen Kai is also involved, this doesn’t make sense!

"Can you check the relationship between Baiyan Capital and Universal Group?" Li Hao suddenly realized that behind this storm, there might be more than just a simple business struggle.

Is there a bigger conspiracy behind that letter of complaint?

"I'll check right away," Xu Lei said urgently. "However, I have a more important discovery. Li Hao—the sender of this letter of complaint—may not be as innocent as we appear. Certain clues suggest that other senior executives of the Universal Group may be involved."

Li Hao's heart tightened, and the scene before him became even more blurry.

He suddenly realized that all the clues were pointing to an enemy hiding in the dark, and this enemy might be more complicated and dangerous than he imagined.

"Keep investigating and don't miss any clues."

Li Hao gritted his teeth and quickly sorted out everything in his mind.

He knew that the storm was far from over.

After hanging up the phone, Li Hao walked to his desk.

He vaguely felt that there was more than one secret behind this series of reports, and it was those unrevealed truths that were the biggest crisis they were currently facing.

And he must find out the mastermind behind this storm - at any cost.

Just as he lowered his head in thought, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Li Hao raised his head and saw Chen Kai standing at the door, with a hint of anxiety and confusion in his eyes.

"Li Hao, what happened?" Chen Kai's voice was a little low.
