The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

Next, she unfolded her slides and clearly recounted the entire process of her experience, including the "investigation," "framing," "car accident," and "public smear campaign."

Her voice was firm: "This is not a personal grudge, but a systemic scheme to frame someone."

“I am not the only target, and the Starry Sea Project is not the only bargaining chip. Everything around me, including the death of Mountain Eagle, is not accidental.”

"Ruolan is the one who gives orders, organizes, and manipulates. Gu Hongtao is the one who truly wants to hand over the Gu family business to foreign capital."

Then she looked directly into the camera and said, word by word, "I'm not afraid of them. My only fear is that the truth will be buried."

There was a moment of silence in the live stream, then the comments flooded in like a burst dam:

"What?! The mountain eagle didn't commit suicide?!"

"That black car was so weird!"

"This is even more terrifying than a TV drama; it's actually real!"

"We urge the government to investigate!"

"Who on earth is chasing Xie Yumin?! This is terrifying!"

The trending topics list was instantly flooded with posts.

The following day, many mainstream media outlets followed up with reports, turning their attention to questioning the "corporate governance scandals" and the "capital hijacking of core technologies."

An unprecedented rift has emerged between Gu Hongtao's and Ruolan's camps on two fronts.

On Gu Yinshen's chessboard, this was only the beginning.

Soon, Gu Yinshen reappeared in the "Rock" operations room, his face tired but his eyes piercing.

On the large screen, flashing data tracks and behavior logs scrolled rapidly.

He stood in front of the screen and commanded in a deep voice: "Extract all intrusion records from the past month that match the attack characteristics, cross-compare the file access logs of 'Deep Blue' and 'Starry Sea', and find out which wave precisely hit our weak point."

K, the chief of Rockstone, pushed up his frameless glasses and pointed to a string of IPs highlighted in red on the screen: "This is it. The entry point is disguised as an image compression service in Europe, but it is actually one of the spy servers under the 'Blackstone Group'."

“They copied the complete underlying code and 3D modeling structure from your Xinghai data interface. We locked the export IP under the name of a tax haven trust fund in Singapore.”

Gu Yinshen remained silent for a few seconds, his lips pressed tightly together.

He murmured, "They don't just want to bring down the Gu family, they want to hollow out the entire industry chain."

The following night, in a private room at the top-floor private club of Yunhai.

Qin Weimin, chairman of Tenglong Technology, was already waiting here at Gu Yinshen's invitation.

He's a shrewd old fox, capable of holding onto the leading companies in the new energy industry for years, so he naturally understands where the winds are blowing.

As soon as Gu Yinshen entered, he didn't beat around the bush. He took out an encrypted USB drive and gently placed it on the table: "Chairman Qin, please take a look at this. Blackstone doesn't just want to get rid of me. It's eyeing our entire country's 'Deep Blue' system."

He clicked on the video and report screenshots, and the spy intrusion path, stolen content, and technical interface analysis were presented one by one, with the data being shocking.

Qin Weimin frowned as he finished reading, a rare look of caution and worry appearing in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "You mean, this isn't a commercial war, but a sovereign-level technological war?"

Gu Yinshen nodded: "That's right. They have already spread rumors in the European and American markets, saying that our 'Deep Blue' system architecture has security vulnerabilities and that a backdoor was secretly implanted in response to national orders. The next step is to block all our orders in overseas markets."

He paused, his tone calm yet sharp: "Although the Gu family is currently in turmoil, it hasn't collapsed yet. And you are next. We can fight for a lifetime, but only if this race still exists."

After a moment of silence, Qin Weimin slowly exhaled: "President Gu, I can see that you're not acting. In that case, this time... I'm on your side."

The two clinked glasses, and the alliance was formed.

Within 48 hours, a thick intelligence file of over 100 pages was securely submitted to higher authorities through national security-level data channels.

This report details Blackstone Group's infiltration path, controlled accounts, timelines of overseas cyberattacks, and domestic industry structure.

It also included numerous screenshots from external websites, revealing evidence of their malicious dissemination of false statements that "Gu's family will go bankrupt."

Soon after, the official announcement was issued.

"Blackstone Group and its agents have had all their domestic business licenses suspended, their domestic bank assets and project licenses frozen, and an antitrust investigation launched against its parent company for alleged serious unfair competition and cross-border data theft."

The international media was in an uproar, and many official media outlets published this major news at the same time, causing Blackstone Group's stock price to plummet.

Gu Yinshen, on the other hand, launched the final counterattack.

Inside the conference hall of the Gu's Building, the lights were bright and the picture was clear and smooth, with representatives from more than 100 investment institutions watching online simultaneously.

At this moment, Gu Yinshen, dressed in a dark blue suit, stood on the stage with a calm and composed gaze.

Instead of rushing to explain, he invited the head of the "Tiangong Kaiwu" R&D team to play an internally filmed R&D demonstration video.

In the video, an elliptical battery is shown operating stably under infinitely charged and discharged conditions; the narration explains the improved thermal stability and energy density of the breakthrough structural material, with all experimental data verified by a third-party laboratory.

Subsequently, Gu Yinshen clearly and calmly announced:

“During this turbulent period, the Gu family has not fallen. We have already established strategic partnerships with five leading domestic companies, including Tenglong Technology. In the next six months, we will promote technology sharing and integrated R&D across three industrial clusters.”

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the screen's cameras one by one, his tone firm:

“We have not gone bankrupt, nor has our technology been leaked. The previous rumors of ‘collapse’ and ‘escape’ originated from a conspiracy by an international capital group. We have submitted complete evidence to the state, and sanctions have been initiated.”

After the press conference, investor confidence quickly recovered, retail investors began to return, and institutional investors increased their holdings.

Gu's stock price rebounded sharply by 20% in a short period, completely shaking off the "collapse theory".

In the board meeting, several key members who had been wavering returned to their positions. Gu Yinshen finally stabilized the situation.

Now, only one final step remains.

The Gu family ancestral home is a secluded courtyard in the suburbs, with a high wall blocking out the hustle and bustle of the modern city.

Wearing a baseball cap, Xie Yumin followed the old driver around the courtyard with a solemn expression and stopped in front of an underground stone chamber.

The experienced driver held the yellowed brass key, a fleeting look in his eyes not of excitement, but of sadness: "This was given to me by the old man himself, who said that only a true member of the Gu family could open this place."

The heavy door slowly opened, and the temperature inside the stone chamber seemed several degrees lower than outside. Rows of old-fashioned bookshelves stood silently. A wooden hidden shelf in the corner was slightly raised.
