I held Bai Wei's hand tightly, feeling the warmth of her palm, yet my heart was icy cold. Zhao Tiancheng had fallen, and I thought everything would get better; that Bai Wei and I could live a peaceful and happy life. But reality struck me hard, this brief tranquility was like a moment of calm before a storm, fleeting and ephemeral. New challenges surged towards me more ferociously than ever, like a tide threatening to engulf me.
The Lin Family Group, the commercial empire built by my father's lifelong efforts, was once again on the brink of collapse. Although Zhao Tiancheng had been brought to justice, the forces behind him lurked like venomous snakes in the shadows, flicking their crimson tongues, waiting for the perfect moment to strike us down. They had not given up on revenge due to Zhao Tiancheng's defeat; instead, they intensified their attacks on the Lin family.
A series of commercial assaults and malicious slanders against the Lin Family Group poured down like relentless raindrops. First, competitors maliciously undercut prices to seize market share, followed by a surge of negative news about the Lin Family Group online—truth mingled with lies, making it hard to discern reality. These messages spread like a virus, fermenting and eroding the very foundation of the Lin Family Group.
The company's stock price plummeted like a kite with its string cut, and partners withdrew their investments one after another, fearing they would be caught in this whirlpool. I watched helplessly as my father's legacy crumbled piece by piece, filled with a sense of powerlessness. The once-thriving scene felt like it was just yesterday; now it lay in ruins as if swept away by a hurricane, leaving chaos in its wake.
I locked myself in my study, repeatedly reviewing the company's financial reports in search of solutions. But the numbers were cold and cruel, like shackles binding me tightly, making it hard to breathe. I rubbed my tired eyes, feeling an overwhelming fatigue wash over me.
"Lin Yuan, don't overwork yourself," Bai Wei said gently as she entered with a cup of hot tea and placed it on my desk. "Things will get better." Her soothing voice brushed against my heart like a spring breeze, offering me a glimmer of comfort.
I looked up at her worried expression and felt a wave of guilt wash over me. "I'm sorry, Bai Wei, for making you worry." I took her hand in mine again, feeling her warmth as if I were grasping a lifeline.
"We'll face this together," Bai Wei said firmly, her eyes filled with strength that seemed capable of dispelling all the shadows in my heart.
I knew I couldn't falter; I had to pull myself together for Bai Wei, for the Lin family, and for everyone who believed in me. I once again called upon Jade Pendant's power, hoping to find the key to breaking through this crisis. However, this time Jade Pendant's predictions grew increasingly vague, shrouded in a thin mist that obscured clarity. A sense of unease crept into my heart—was Jade Pendant's power waning?
I didn't share my unease with Bai Wei; I didn't want her to worry about me any further. I forced myself to stay upbeat as we visited some business partners together seeking their assistance.
To my relief, some loyal partners did not abandon us; they chose to stand by the Lin family during this difficult time and offered significant support. Their trust and backing warmed my heart like a ray of sunshine on a winter day and gave me the courage to continue fighting.
I readjusted our company strategy to actively respond to the crisis while seeking opportunities for counterattacks. I knew this battle had only just begun; I had to be more cautious than ever to emerge victorious in this war without gunpowder. The road ahead remained fraught with thorns, but I would not give up; I would fight with all my strength to protect everything I cherished.
