Early the next morning, in a high-end apartment in Lin'an City.

Zhou Fengming was sitting quietly in front of the table eating breakfast, appearing extremely calm and serene.

At a glance, he looked just like a spirited elder, kind and amiable, full of energy, without a trace of malice.

In front of him was a tablet computer displaying numerous news items, categorized and diverse, dazzling to the eye.

Zhou Fengming had a habit of reading the news while eating breakfast, a habit he had maintained for many years, persisting without any change to this day.

At this moment, Zhou Fengming looked at the news before him, his demeanor indifferent, appearing extremely composed.

Buzz!

Just as he was reading the news on the tablet, suddenly, the tablet emitted a crisp notification sound, followed by a news alert directly appearing before Zhou Fengming.

The instant he saw the news alert, Zhou Fengming's eyes suddenly widened, revealing a hint of astonishment.

The headline alone of this news alert made him feel immensely shocked!

The headline of this news alert, written in bold uppercase letters: Shocking, a Thrilling Corruption Case in Jinling City, How Can a Small Family Rule Everything!?

Seeing this headline, Zhou Fengming's heart skipped a beat, his face full of astonishment.

Because the headline of this news was precisely describing him!

The Jin Family is deeply rooted in Jinling City, with connections at many critical points; describing it as ruling everything is not an exaggeration!

Upon seeing this, Zhou Fengming did not hesitate for a moment, immediately clicking in to find out.

Smack!

Just as Zhou Fengming looked at it for a moment, his hand relaxed, and the ceramic spoon he was using for breakfast fell and shattered on the ground with a crisp sound.

Currently, Zhou Fengming's eyes were wide open, his face filled with astonishment, almost unable to believe his eyes!

The news in front of him reported that the black ledger he had recorded while networking in Jinling City was astonishingly displayed, with even the accounts shown in images!

Seeing this, Zhou Fengming was completely shocked; he never imagined the outcome would be like this!

After the previous significant blow to the Zhou Family, such a message was immediately exposed not long after!

This matter clearly indicates that someone is trying to destroy him from behind the scenes!

Seeing this, Zhou Fengming filled with rage, his face instantly turning crimson, exceptionally furious.

The reason he kept such a black ledger was for convenience in future networking.

It was precisely because of these items that Zhou Fengming could act as he pleased in Jinling City, promoting the Zhou Family's extravagant development!

Originally, this black ledger was Zhou Fengming's tool for developing the Zhou Family.

But now, he never imagined that this tool would become a sharp sword, directly cutting him down!

Currently, Zhou Fengming indeed felt like spitting blood!

Bang!

At this moment, the apartment door was suddenly flung open, and a servant clad in black rushed in, saying upon seeing Zhou Fengming, "Master, something has happened!"

Buzz!

With this servant's words, a muffled sound echoed in Zhou Fengming's head, rendering him stunned for a few seconds before looking at the servant and asking, "What happened again!?"

The desperation was evident in Zhou Fengming's tone.

Now that this issue has been exposed online, the message from this servant is likely not good news either!

"Master"

Upon hearing Zhou Fengming's words, the breathless servant responded, "All employees in the group just collectively called in to resign; a joint resignation letter has already been written!"

Resignation of the entire company staff!?

Upon hearing this sentence, a loud bang echoed in Zhou Fengming's mind; he never anticipated such a drastic change in this matter!

Actually, from start to finish, this issue was expected but completely beyond Zhou Fengming's predictions!

After all, people act in their self-interest. No one wants to continue working for a family-owned company suspected of illegal activities. Who knows if they haven't unintentionally done something wrong?

"I understand!"

Hearing this, Zhou Fengming gritted his teeth, replying coldly, "What else? Any issues with the auction houses?"

Now that his black ledger has been exposed, Zhou Fengming no longer cares about the company's immediate affairs, only concerned about liquidating his assets!

Since his black ledger has been entirely exposed, asset freeze is just a matter of time!

Now, Zhou Fengming's only wish is to convert all assets into cash before they are seized!

"Master..."

Upon hearing Zhou Fengming's words, the servant said, "All auction houses in Lin'an City have ended their business with us following the news and refused any further cooperation!"

Auction houses are incredibly pragmatic; they would never collaborate with disputable partners, for the sake of their reputation!

Ka-boom!

With these words, like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, it struck Zhou Fengming, causing him to slump to the ground with a dazed expression.

It was not until now that Zhou Fengming realized the severity of the situation!

This hidden, unknown adversary is indeed bringing him to the brink of destruction!

After the Zhou Family's courtyard was bloodwashed, leaving it desolate, and cash emptied, now his black ledger has been exposed, and real estate is unable to be sold now.

Currently, aside from some assets in the Dongdao Group account, Zhou Fengming has no leeway!

"Damn it! Who is it!?"

In his fury, Zhou Fengming slammed his palm on the dining table in front, causing it to shatter into pieces immediately!

Now Zhou Fengming was truly enraged; the opponent's hidden tactics were endless, and they were indeed destroying him!

With the opponent hidden, their ruthless methods had gone beyond Zhou Fengming's imagination; these tactics could only be described as "cutting the grass at the roots"!

"There's no other way!"

Upon thinking this, Zhou Fengming gritted his teeth and then took out his phone, saying, "In the current situation, I must seek his help!"

After finishing his words, Zhou Fengming gritted his teeth, dialing a series of numbers, and waiting for the call to connect, he spoke respectfully, "Hello? Is this Young Master Jiang?"

During this conversation, Zhou Fengming's tone was exceptionally low and humble, almost like a dog, respectful and subservient, with his usual fierce demeanor completely vanished in his words!
