Reborn and married in a swapped marriage, my aloof husband is too ruthless.

Yan Cheng'an took the battle report, his brows furrowed. The report read in bold characters: "The Xiongnu have invaded, and the border is in dire need of help."

He took a deep breath, handed the battle report to Su Jinxin, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that our celebration... will have to be postponed."

Su Jinxin took the battle report and felt a chill run from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

Is a meticulously planned business empire about to be destroyed?

This is even more heartbreaking than sending her back to the dilapidated house from ten years ago!

"It's like being caught in the crossfire when you're just sitting at home!" Su Jinxin couldn't help but complain, but she quickly calmed down.

When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. Panic is useless.

News of the war spread like wildfire throughout the capital, reaching even Su Jinxin's business partners.

Sure enough, a bloated, shrewd-looking merchant rushed into the Su residence, his forehead covered in sweat, looking like an ant on a hot pan.

"Boss Su! Boss Su! Something terrible has happened!" He shouted as soon as he entered the door, making it seem like his house was on fire.

Su Jinxin calmly put down her teacup and asked indifferently, "Mr. Li, what's the matter that makes you so flustered?"

This Mr. Li was the one who had the biggest collaboration with Su Jinxin before, but now he's like a frightened rabbit, jumping around in all directions.

"Mr. Su, as you know, the border is in dire straits, the world is in chaos, and business is tough! I... after much thought, I've decided to withdraw my investment!"

Su Jinxin raised an eyebrow, looking at him with a half-smile, "Mr. Li, are you... planning to run away?"

“Boss Su, what are you saying! What do you mean by running away? This is called cutting losses in time! Think about it, once the war starts, can our goods still be transported out? Can we still get our money back? This…” Boss Li spoke with spittle flying everywhere, looking heartbroken. Anyone who didn’t know better would really think he was thinking a lot about Su Jinxin.

Su Jinxin sneered. In her previous life, she had been in the business world for many years and had seen all sorts of strange and powerful people.

This Mr. Li is clearly trying to take advantage of the situation and kick someone when they're down!

"Mr. Li, we've been working together for years, don't you even have this much trust?"

"Boss Su, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that the world is too chaotic! I have no choice!" Boss Li said with a mournful face, as if to say, "I'm a victim too."

"Oh? Since Mr. Li insists on this..." Su Jinxin slowly took out a roll from her sleeve and waved it in front of Mr. Li, "Then Mr. Li probably won't need this, right?"

Boss Li's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he snatched the scroll from Su Jinxin's hand and unfurled it with trembling hands.

"Breach of contract penalty?!" His voice changed. It was clearly written in black and white on the paper that withdrawing investment would require paying ten times the amount as a penalty!

Ten times!

All the money he's earned over the years isn't enough to cover it!

"Mr. Li, you haven't forgotten this contract, have you?" Su Jinxin asked with a smile, her tone as gentle as if she were coaxing a child, but to Mr. Li, it sounded like a death knell.

Mr. Li's face flushed red and then turned pale, as colorful as a palette.

He shakily rolled up the contract, stuffed it back into Su Jinxin's hand, and said with a forced smile, "Boss Su, you...you really know how to joke! When...when did I say I was going to withdraw my investment? I just...just came to see you!" After saying that, he slipped away like a greased grease, faster than a rabbit.

Su Jinxin couldn't help but laugh as she watched Boss Li flee in disarray.

Trying to take advantage of her?

There are no doors!

After dealing with this clown, Su Jinxin rushed to the Yan residence without stopping.

Yan Cheng'an is about to go to war, and she must go to see him off.

Inside the Yan residence, Yan Cheng'an, dressed in military uniform, looked dashing and heroic, a stark contrast to his usual sickly appearance.

He was saying goodbye to his family who had come to see him off when he saw Su Jinxin arrive, so he walked straight toward her.

The two looked at each other, saying nothing.

Yan Chengan gently stroked Su Jinxin's hair, his deep voice carrying a hint of tenderness: "Wait for me to come back."

Su Jinxin held his hand tightly; her fingertips were icy cold, yet they conveyed endless worry and reluctance.

She fought back tears and forced a smile: "I'll wait for you."

Yan Chengan leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on Su Jinxin's forehead.

“When I return in triumph, we will…” He paused, his gaze falling on Su Jinxin’s lips, “and make up for our belated celebration.”

Su Jinxin blushed slightly and nodded gently.

Yan Cheng'an mounted his horse, turned back to give Su Jinxin a deep look, then spurred his horse and rode away in a cloud of dust.

Su Jinxin stood there, watching his figure disappear from sight, silently praying in her heart: He must return safely.

As night fell, Su Jinxin returned to the Su residence, but instead of resting, she lit the lamp in her study, spread out a map, and began planning the transportation route for supplies... "General Wang's letter requesting assistance should be arriving soon."

Su Jinxin's slender fingers traced lines on the map, and lines appeared in her mind like the intricate layout of a chessboard.

The enemy was advancing fiercely, and the border was in dire straits. General Wang's letter requesting reinforcements weighed heavily on her heart.

The supplies at the front lines are running out, and if they cannot be replenished in time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"This battle is going to be tough..." Su Jinxin muttered to herself, her delicate brows furrowed.

The original transport route had been destroyed by the enemy, like a giant python cut in half, unable to move.

She had to find another way, a safe route, to get the supplies to the front lines.

With time running out, Su Jinxin immediately gathered her business partners, all of whom were seasoned veterans in the business world and well-informed.

"Dear bosses, the war is escalating and supplies are scarce at the front. I need your help," Su Jinxin said bluntly and firmly.

The group looked at each other, some with troubled expressions, others stammering.

This is no joke. In the midst of war, who would want to risk their life?

“Mr. Su, this is no joke, what if…” A chubby businessman rubbed his hands together, hesitating to speak.

“There’s no such thing as ‘what if’,” Su Jinxin interrupted him. “I know everyone has concerns, but the rise and fall of a nation is the responsibility of every citizen. If we don’t unite this time, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Su Jinxin's impassioned speech, coupled with the previous threat of "ten times the penalty for breach of contract," finally managed to persuade these businessmen to reluctantly agree to help.

Under the dual pressure of money and national duty, they began to actively provide information, and eventually, a hidden path appeared before Su Jinxin's eyes.

This rugged and treacherous path, little known to most, is an excellent choice for transporting supplies.

Su Jinxin acted decisively, mobilizing manpower to begin repairing the road that had been eroded by time.

Meanwhile, Yan Cheng'an, far away on the border, was fighting a bloody battle.

He was like a tiger descending the mountain, unstoppable, and the enemy army trembled at the mere mention of his name.

"General! The lady has sent someone to deliver provisions and weapons!" a soldier excitedly ran up to report.

Upon hearing this, Yan Chengan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a gratified smile.

He knew that his wife had never let him down.

Inside the Su residence, Su Jinxin gazed into the distance, her eyes resolute: "Cheng'an, wait for me." She paused, then turned to the steward beside her, "Pass down the order: all supplies must be transported to the front lines within three days!"

The butler accepted the order and left, but Su Jinxin suddenly felt a tightness in her heart, and an inexplicable unease welled up in her heart.

She walked to the window, gazed at the dark night sky, and murmured to herself, "I hope... it's not too late..."

Suddenly, the sound of rapid hoofbeats shattered the stillness of the night. A soldier covered in blood stumbled into the Su residence, crying, "Report! Madam, something terrible has happened!..."

The war spread much faster than Su Jinxin had anticipated.

One urgent battle report after another arrived from the border, striking her heart like a death knell.

"That corrupt official Li hasn't made a move yet?" Su Jinxin fiddled with the jade thumb ring in her hand, her tone as cold as ice.

"Reporting to Madam, that old fellow has calmed down, but..." The butler hesitated, his old face contorted into a bitter expression.

"Just what? What are you stammering about!" Su Jinxin's phoenix eyes sharpened, her aura intimidating.

"But, Madam, that path... has collapsed." The butler wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said cautiously.

"It collapsed?" Su Jinxin said, each word seemingly squeezed out from between her teeth.

The secret passage she carefully selected just collapsed like that?

It's like finally finding a bug in a game, only to have it fixed before you even have a chance to use it properly—it's incredibly frustrating!

However, Su Jinxin is not one to give up easily.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

"If it's going to rain, it's going to rain; if a mother wants to remarry, she'll remarry. So what if it collapses? What else can you do? Do you think I, the queen of business, would admit defeat?" A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips. "Immediately send people to repair it and make sure it's open as quickly as possible! Also, explore other routes, a two-pronged approach! I refuse to believe that I can be stopped by a mountain!"

Meanwhile, Yan Cheng'an fought valiantly on the front lines, like a god of war descending to earth.

The enemy army was utterly annihilated and routed.

He watched the smoke rising in the distance, but a sense of unease crept into his heart.

Jinxin, are you alright?

Just as Su Jinxin finished dealing with the landslide, she received another piece of news that made her blood pressure soar: her "plastic" business partners actually wanted to withdraw their investment at this critical juncture!

"What did they say? Too risky? Afraid of losing everything?" Su Jinxin sneered. "These greedy bastards, why didn't they say there was a high risk when they signed the contract? Now they want to run away? No way!"

She immediately gathered all the partners who wanted to withdraw their investment, her eyes sweeping coldly over them. "Want to withdraw your investment? Fine. According to the contract, you'll receive ten times the compensation, not a penny less!"

"Ten times?!" A businessman turned pale with fright. "Mr. Su, this...this is too ruthless!"

"Ruthless?" Su Jinxin sneered. "This is nothing! Compared to you, I'm practically an angel! Don't forget, you all signed and sealed the breach of contract penalty agreement. Trying to renege? Dream on!"

Just as Su Jinxin was preparing to teach these "fence-sitters" a lesson, a servant rushed in in a panic, "Madam! Madam!..."
