At the same time, the economic crisis here has reached an urgent level. Even the Four Great Families are threatened by this financial crisis, and the leaders of the Four Great Families gather to discuss how to weather the storm together. "This financial turmoil came too suddenly, I even suspect there might be someone behind it manipulating things." Mr. Sima stroked his beard and said thoughtfully. Mr. Ouyang nodded, "I also feel that someone is controlling things from behind the scenes." "So what should we do now?" Since the death of the old master, Duan Shaojie has been leading the Duan Family. He is the youngest of the Four Great Families, and is the calmest in facing such a matter. "We can’t sit back and do nothing any longer; we must unite and resist the external enemy together." Duan Shaojie said clearly and firmly. "External enemy?" Mr. Ouyang looked at him in surprise, "Duan Shaojie, you also think there’s someone behind this?" Duan Shaojie nodded, "Even the businesses and economies of the Four Great Families have been affected, I don’t believe this is just a simple financial crisis." "What do you mean?" Mr. Sima also looked at him and asked somewhat puzzled. Duan Shaojie, youthful and vigorous, couldn’t help but mock in his heart upon seeing these two old timers being so slow on the uptake, "The Four Great Families have been at their peak for a long time and have a solid foundation. Do you think this is something anyone can easily shake? There must be some unspeakable secrets, someone conspiring behind it." Duan Shaojie believed his analysis was spot on, but after he finished speaking, Mr. Sima and Mr. Ouyang exchanged a glance and shook their heads. It seems Duan Shaojie is still too young. Duan Shaojie, a bit angry, said, "What? You don’t believe me?" "It’s not that we don’t believe you, it’s just that you didn’t hear us. We just said there’s definitely someone behind this financial crisis, and what you just said is essentially reiterating what we already said." "Exactly, what’s the difference between saying it and not saying it?" Mr. Sima and Mr. Ouyang spoke one after the other, causing Duan Shaojie to feel embarrassed, but now, he’s no longer the young reckless lad he once was; sitting as the Family Head, he must show maturity and steadiness. He snorted softly, "Then what do you suggest we do?" Mr. Xiahou, who had been silent on the side, hadn’t spoken since entering, sitting quietly, staring blankly ahead, lost in thought. "Mr. Xiahou, what are you thinking?" Mr. Sima asked him suspiciously. Mr. Xiahou snapped back to reality, shook his head, and said, "Nothing much, just wondering who could have such great skills." Mr. Sima was also doubting this, "But now we have no way to investigate." "We better think about how to respond first. If the stock market crashes, we might lose our chance to recover." For Mr. Ouyang to say such words, the problem must be very severe indeed. "What do you think Mr. Chu would do if he were here?" Suddenly, Mr. Sima spoke. Duan Shaojie snorted lightly, "Mr. Chu is just a bit skilled in martial arts. What good would he be in a financial crisis? Do you think he could solve this?" In terms of business experience, any one of them here was more seasoned than Chu Ge. Yet now, these old fellows still think about finding Chu Ge for help; who knows, he might still be enjoying himself somewhere in the Capital City now! Duan Shaojie’s attitude immediately displeased Mr. Sima, "Duan Shaojie, your words aren’t right. If it weren’t for Mr. Chu, do you think you could be in this position today?" Duan Shaojie glared at him, indeed, he was in this position because of Chu Ge, but that was then and this is now! "I’m not being ungrateful, I know how much Mr. Chu helped me, but now we don’t even know who the enemy is; how can you be sure Chu Ge can help us?" Mr. Sima snorted coldly, about to argue further, when Mr. Ouyang interrupted him. "By the way, why haven’t we seen Zhao Wuji?" Mr. Ouyang suddenly asked. Mr. Sima was stunned, then realized it too; today not only the Four Great Families were discussing together but also invited the Four Minor Families, yet not many came. Mr. Xiahou sighed lightly, "I got word this morning that Tianrui Bank was attacked by hackers and is already paralyzed." "What?" Everyone froze. Their last straw was the bank, but now even the bank was under attack, so for them... Mr. Sima, Mr. Ouyang, and the others exchanged looks but none spoke first. The air was silent for a moment before Duan Shaojie asked, "What should we do now?" ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽 Now, even he didn’t know what to do. "If it doesn’t work, how about calling Mr. Chu for help?" Actually, they know well that Chu Ge isn’t well-versed in business matters, but now they have no choice but to place their hope on Chu Ge. They prayed in their hearts, hoping to reach the Six Major Families of Kyoto through Chu Ge so they could be offered a hand in rescue. Meanwhile, in a private villa, the hall was filled with all kinds of electronic equipment. "Boss, the bank has been paralyzed, those old guys are powerless to reverse the situation now!" The trader spoke with faint excitement. Behind him sat a mysterious man in a black suit, shrouded in An Ying, his magnetic voice came from his thin lips, "Don’t lower your guard, these Old Foxes aren’t as easy to deal with as you imagine." The trader’s fingers quickly tapped something on the keyboard. "Boss, do you have some deep-seated hatred with them, wanting to cripple the entire financial system?" As soon as he spoke, a chill went down his spine, his heart skipped a beat, and he knew he’d said too much.
