Chapter 271: The Collapse of the Empire

A series of severe blows made Ni Fanyi's lips tremble.

Finally.

Finally, it's here...

Adam couldn't accept it at all. "How is that possible?!"

"NetSound. Jingnian should have exhausted all its available cards by now."

"This time, it won't be able to get a hold of the enterprises in our hands either."

"Who? Who is stabbing us in the back!"

The subordinate said painfully, "Qi Yuwu. It's Qi Yuwu! He's been hiding his strength all along!"

Adam: "Qi Yuwu?!"

At the hospital.

"You're saying Qi Yuwu secretly controls the shares of several enterprises under Yaoyang?"

"And the collective rebellion Yaoyang is facing now is also his doing?"

"That's right. Qi Yuwu started planning a long time ago. He's been lying in wait for the right moment. He even has his people inside our company!"

For the first time, Kang Yuanshan began to take Qi Yuwu seriously.

He knew the man was ambitious, but he never thought he'd be this audacious!

"Then why aren't you guys going to root out his spies!"

Kang Yuanshan almost roared, and then broke out into a fit of violent coughing.

It sounded as if he was on the verge of death at any moment.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

At Pengpai.

The secretary who had just been reinstated cleared out the spies in the company. Then he turned to Qi Yuwu and said, "Mr. Qi, we've shown all our cards now."

Behind those shareholders who were selling their shares at rock - bottom prices was actually Qi Yuwu giving up all his years of hard work and careful planning!

He was going all in, staking everything on this one move!

Qi Yuwu stared intently in the direction of Yaoyang with a far - off look in his eyes. "I've been lying low for years just for this moment. If I don't make my move now, when will I?"

He couldn't just wait for Zhu Ning to finish her battle and then come in to pick up the scraps.

What kind of man would that make him?

The secretary looked at the determination in Qi Yuwu's eyes and gritted his teeth. "You're right. If not now, when!"

"At worst, we'll start all over again!"

Qi Yuwu let out a hearty laugh, looking carefree and confident. He reached out and clapped his old partner on the shoulder. This was the man who had accompanied him in starting the business.

He gazed into the distance, his phoenix - like eyes filled with self - confidence and ambition.

"Even if we start over, I, Qi Yuwu, won't lose!"

In the capital.

Pei Jin listened to the report from Shanghai.

"Qi Yuwu has gone all in. He single - handedly dragged Yaoyang's corporate credibility to rock bottom."

"Now, apart from the shares in his hands, the shareholders of other Yaoyang companies have also started taking measures."

Pei Jin: "It's like a chain reaction."

He sat on his chair, playing with the brooch in his hand. On his right side, the shiny pure - gold thumb statue reflected his calm and profound eyes.

Whether it was Jiuzhang, Kang Yuanshan, or Yaoyang, it would be difficult to attack them from the outside in a short period. They had to be made to have internal strife first. The more shaken their internal structure was, the faster they could be taken over from the outside. Just as the saying goes, a thing must rot first before worms can infest it.

Pei Jin: "Implement the next step. It's time to besiege the stronghold and strike at the reinforcements."

"Understood."

Soon, Chi Manyan, Xu Liunian, and Qi Yuwu felt a new force enter the battlefield.

This force targeted Yaoyang's two pillar industries, technology and entertainment, with swift and decisive actions.

The other three were only stunned for a moment, and then they immediately reacted and coordinated their actions.

At NetSound, Chi Manyan said, "Mobilize all available resources to provide backup support for Jingnian, Pengpai, and Deep Sea."

At Jingnian, Xu Liunian said, "Reach a deeper cooperation with NetSound. Coordinate with Qi Yuwu for publicity and endorsement. Provide Pei Jin with all the resources he needs!"

At Pengpai, Qi Yuwu said, "Pei Jin wants to cut into Yaoyang's technology R & D? Send our team over to build a platform for him. Fully engage and be the vanguard!"

The four parties joined forces and launched a combined attack. Jiuzhang, Kang Yuanshan, and Yaoyang were now under attack from both sides. Adam cursed at Ni Fanyi for getting in the way. "Pei Jin has also joined the fray. If we don't fight back now, it'll be too late. Can you take responsibility if something goes wrong?"

"Don't act rashly!" Ni Fanyi roared back. "My people are currently negotiating a peace deal with Jude Wang. If you act now, the cooperation we've been working on will be completely ruined! No one is allowed to move!"

Adam was so angry that his chest heaved violently. The finger he pointed at Ni Fanyi seemed to be on the verge of punching him. "Jude Wang has an old feud with us in Haicheng. When you reported to the headquarters, you clearly stated that Jude Wang would never cooperate with us. In this situation, you still want to make peace? Do you want to cede territory and pay indemnities or just stall for time?!"

"Anyway, no one is allowed to act! I'm ordering you all in my capacity as the CEO of Yaoyang. If anyone dares to move, pack your bags and get out immediately!"

"I'm the CEO!"

With two powerful leaders in one company, the management was in chaos. Their powers were mutually restricted, and there was serious internal strife. Meanwhile, the external offensive was fierce. All it needed was one crucial shot, and Yaoyang's gates would be completely breached! Soon, Jude Wang fired that shot.

"Jude Wang has reached a cooperation agreement with Deep Sea in the capital to jointly research electronic chips!"

"Ni Fanyi!!!"

Adam completely lost control.

"This is what you've done. This is all your fault! Our strategic layout in China and in the world for the next decade has been completely ruined by you! Ruined by Jude Wang!"

The technology chips were their Achilles' heel!

He suddenly remembered the mockery he had faced when he met Zhu Ning and Pei Jin at the summit.

How had Zhu Ning replied back then - 'Fight to the death!'

Adam hated it with all his heart.

Today, he had to admit.

If Jude Wang was really determined to dominate the electronic technology industry.

Then in the future, Yaoyang's hegemonic position in international technology might cease to exist!

Ni Fanyi's head buzzed for a moment, and his whole body began to tremble.

Zhu Ning not only wanted to take over Yaoyang, but she also wanted to destroy it?!

Adam: "What are you all standing there for! Act quickly. Do you really want to watch Yaoyang be destroyed?"

Ni Fanyi smashed a vase, picked up a sharp piece of porcelain, and held Adam hostage. "I'd like to see who dares!"

Everyone in the room let out a gasp. Adam was sweating profusely. "Ni Fanyi, are you crazy..."

"Yes! I am crazy!"

Ni Fanyi's eyes were blood - red. "Yaoyang has no chance of winning against Jude Wang! If you want to be buried with Yaoyang, then go ahead and act. If you want to fight for a chance of survival, then follow me. Let's destroy Yaoyang from the inside out! Destroy Yaoyang's technological hegemony in China. With Jude Wang's participation, the future will surely belong to domestic products! If you do as I say, I guarantee your safety!"

"Ni Fanyi!!!"

A thin line of blood appeared on Adam's neck. His face instantly turned pale, and he shut up.

Ni Fanyi roared, "MOVE! NOW!!"

The people of Yaoyang gritted their teeth. "Fuck it. Let's do it!!"

Adam's lips trembled, and bloodshot eyes appeared. Looking at the madness in the company, he suddenly felt as if there was a towering skyscraper labeled Yaoyang in front of his eyes. It was so tall that it seemed to reach the clouds and was almost unassailable. Anyone who tried to overthrow it would surely be smashed to pieces. But at this moment! Earthquakes, tsunamis, and landslides all occurred at the same time. In a daze, he seemed to see a hand descending from the sky and gently pushing them.

Then, with a deafening roar.

This unshakable building was about to fall.

Collapse.
