"It's almost time to make a move!"

At the moment when the group became overconfident with excitement.

The Bai Group was already in total chaos from top to bottom.

Taking advantage of Bai Lan being overwhelmed, Ye Qiu slipped outside the office and quietly made a phone call!

On the other end, after acknowledging the call, the person hung up without saying another word.

"Ye Qiu, why are you still standing here?"

Bai Lan, finally pulling herself away from the chaos, looked at Ye Qiu's calm demeanor, puzzled.

In theory, Ye Qiu shouldn't have been involved in this significant crisis for the Bai Group.

However, with the entire company now out of control, Bai Lan had no choice but to seek Ye Qiu's help.

At this moment, only he would stand resolutely in front to resolve all the troubles.

"Don't worry, let's wait and see!"

Ye Qiu didn't say much, found a quiet place to settle Bai Lan down, and told her not to worry.

Knock, knock, knock!

Not long after sitting down, the office door was knocked on.

The person outside seemed impatient and didn't wait for Bai Lan's response before hurriedly pushing the door open.

It was Bai Lan's secretary who entered, the only one still busily attending to everything on Bai Lan's behalf.

"What's the matter? Are they losing control of their emotions?"

Bai Lan asked, showing concern.

Seeing the secretary's anxious look made Bai Lan furrow her brows even deeper...

"President Bai, no..."

The secretary, possibly too anxious and still catching her breath, quickly shook her head.

"President Bai, it's up, it's up, the stock market is up!"

She struggled to control her excitement and finally squeezed out those words.

"It's up?"

Hearing this, Bai Lan stood up reflexively, wiping away the gloom from her face.

"Take me to see it quickly!"

At this point, she couldn't sit still any longer, immediately pulling the secretary and heading downstairs.

The lobby downstairs was bustling with people, who were now gesturing and discussing animatedly.

"It's up! It's really up..."

"Did we read it wrong?"

The group stared at the stock market graphs, some joyful, some worried!

The joy was that this meant the Bai Group wouldn't go bankrupt, and their jobs were safe.

The sadness was about their earlier uncontrolled emotions, clamoring for their wages.

In the company's toughest time, they almost bailed out; now that things have turned around, would Bai Lan still accept them?

No one anticipated the stock price could plummet dramatically overnight to a nadir.

Even more surprising was the swift recovery within a few hours, akin to spring returning to the earth.

A stock market with such extreme fluctuations was something no one could have predicted!

"Fantastic!"

Amid everyone's worries, Bai Lan's words instantly broke the silence.

Their gaze fixated on Bai Lan, who was staring intensely at the stock market graphs as if awaiting judgment.

"You don't need to look at me like this! As the saying goes: 'When trouble comes, the couple parts.' Moreover, everyone needs to make a living! So, I don't blame you for what just happened!

As long as you devote yourselves to serving the Bai Group in the future, there will be benefits for everyone!"

Bai Lan, perceptive as ever, knew what they were thinking, and quickly reassured them.

This statement was like a calming pill; everyone lowered their heads, feeling that their previous actions might indeed have crossed a line...

"Alright, everyone, let's get back to work!"

Bai Lan instructed and was about to head upstairs to share the good news with Ye Qiu.

...

"Elder, the latest update, a large number of retired members from the Demon Corps are gathering in Jiangnan!"

Simultaneously, many family executives had convened for a family meeting.

"Hmm! It seems Jiangnan is bound to experience a major upheaval this time..."

The family elders nodded in agreement.

They clearly understood that this time, the Baili Family was the instigator, teaming up with several major families in the country to join the Blood Cross.

It was evident they had already provoked the Demon King!

Though it seemed like a battle between the major families and the Demon King, in reality, it was a direct confrontation between Blood Cross and the Demon King, Ye Qiu!

"Continue to deploy more personnel, keep an eye on Blood Cross and the Demon King's every move!"

This was an unprecedented upheaval.

Jiangnan was bound to be in chaos soon!

Whether it's the Demon King or Blood Cross,

both hold immense power!

Their direct confrontation was set to be an extraordinary spectacle!

So, none of them wanted to miss it.

Will the Demon King prevail, or will Blood Cross successfully overthrow the Demon King?

Everyone eagerly anticipated the outcome.

...

After the market recovery, the Bai Group resumed operations smoothly in just a few hours, order restored throughout.

Bai Lan, excited and overwhelmed, kept telling Ye Qiu about everything that had transpired.

However, Ye Qiu had already anticipated all this, and such a result didn't surprise him.

The only thing that puzzled him was that the company's atmosphere felt off today...

After pondering for a while, he didn't find anything amiss.

But thinking carefully, it seemed like something was missing from the company...

It wasn't until it was time for lunch that Bai Lan started calling Ye Qiu to eat.

It was then that Ye Qiu suddenly realized Lan Ying was missing!

"Have you seen Lan Ying?"

Ye Qiu hurriedly ran to Bai Lan's office and asked.

During mealtimes, Lan Ying would usually have meals ready without anyone asking.

But today, throughout almost the entire morning,

Ye Qiu didn't see any sign of Lan Ying!

"She's not at home?"

Hearing Ye Qiu's anxious tone, Bai Lan quickly thought about it.

It seemed Lan Ying hadn't appeared at the company all day!

"Could something have happened?"

Ye Qiu was somewhat puzzled.

Logically speaking, what major incident could this clever girl encounter?

But her absence all morning was indeed perplexing.

He promptly called Lan Ying.

The call connected, but it rang for a long time without anyone answering.

Ye Qiu's expression grew increasingly grim, a sense of foreboding rising within him...

The phone rang briefly, then a busy tone filled the line.

Just as Ye Qiu was about to dial again, his phone suddenly vibrated.

The screen displayed two unread WeChat messages from Lan Ying.

"Brother Ye, help me..."

The first message was short, just a few words.

Soon after, the second message loaded for a while, showing a real-time location map.

The map indicated an abandoned warehouse in the outskirts of the city, marking Lan Ying's location!

"Damn!"

Ye Qiu cursed inwardly, his face turning icy cold.

Without hesitation, he rushed downstairs in a hurry.

Feeling something was off, upon reaching the company entrance, Ye Qiu pulled out his phone and made a call...
