Chapter 32: First Strike
Tianxu City didn't sleep that night.
Storm clouds hovered just above the skyline, but the rain never fell—only thunder rumbled in the distance, as if waiting for something to break.
In the underworld of finance and power, something already had.
At exactly 7:00 a.m., the Win Family's East Port logistics line was halted.
By 7:15, over 200 shipments were frozen under regulatory seizures. Customs officers, bribed by a hidden hand, demanded documentation the Win Family couldn't produce—not because it was missing, but because it had been replaced.
At 7:40, a press release from Tianxu News broke the story: a massive fraud investigation targeting multiple shell companies tied to Win Family assets.
By 8:00, the stock of Win Allied Holdings plunged by 18%.
And by 8:15, Chen Yu was sipping his coffee with a calm smile.
"Too easy," he murmured.
Across the breakfast table, Meiyun had her tablet open. Her expression was unreadable, but the gleam in her eyes gave away her satisfaction.
"They'll counterattack," she said.
