Chapter 172: Chapter 172: The Tea Has Gone Cold, a Cornered Liu Yan

”What?”

”Why would you freeze my assets for no reason?”

”I’m going to sue you!”

President Su had lost all semblance of his once gentle and refined demeanor.

He looked like a cornered animal, frantic and desperate.

However, the bank employee on the other end of the line was only fulfilling their duty to inform him.

They didn’t get angry hearing President Su’s furious outburst.

They simply informed him in a placid tone, ”I’m sorry, Mr. Su, but we received our orders directly from the court.”

”Our bank’s actions all comply with the relevant procedures.”

”If you have any further objections, you can protect your rights through legal means.”

With that, the bank employee hung up the phone.

Upon hearing the news, President Su slumped to the floor.

The moment he heard the bank was acting on the court’s orders, President Su fell into despair.

It wasn’t as if President Su was unaware of the massive debts his company was carrying.

But he had been clinging to a sliver of hope, wanting to risk it all on one last gamble.

He was betting that the Joy City project would be his ticket to a comeback.

But now it seemed someone had moved faster than him.

They had beaten him to the punch and sued Dingsheng Real Estate.

If it were the material suppliers,

President Su felt he could still salvage the situation.

After all, those suppliers only wanted the money stipulated in their contracts.

But...

At that moment, the figure of a young man suddenly surfaced in President Su’s mind.

It made his heart skip a beat.

Compared to the material fees owed to the other suppliers, Lin Feng, whom he had met just two days ago, was clearly not someone to be trifled with.

Lin Feng had poured a hundred million into this project.

And because Li Cheng had run off, the project had been forced to a halt, breaching the contract.

Dingsheng Real Estate was now on the hook for four hundred eighty million.

This exorbitant penalty was the last thing President Su wanted to think about.

He had been racing against time, mortgaging his real estate to get cash to pour back into the project.

Part of the reason was to funnel that money into the project before Lin Feng could make a move.

Then President Su would go negotiate with Lin Feng.

Ideally, he could persuade Lin Feng to waive the exorbitant penalty.

That would achieve what President Su considered a win-win situation.

But clearly, all of President Su’s plans were now in ruins.

The once-mighty corporation, with its hundreds of employees, was crumbling like a collapsing skyscraper.

The only person President Su could find to run errands now was the secretary who had been with him since he started his career.

And because Dingsheng Real Estate could no longer pay salaries,

the secretary was already looking for his next job.

Half of the company’s other employees had already left.

The rest were in a panic, all preparing their own exit strategies.

Out of the camaraderie built over many years of hard work together, the secretary usually wouldn’t refuse President Su’s requests.

Take now, for instance.

”Xiaochen... could you do Brother Su a favor?”

The once-powerful President Su never thought he’d see the day he would have to use a pleading tone to ask his secretary for something.

Secretary Chen sighed and accepted the request. ”President Su, I’ve already found a new job. This is the last time I’ll be doing this for you.”

After ending the call with his secretary, President Su felt a desolate chill. It was true what they said: once the tea grows cold, the guests depart.

The task President Su had just given Secretary Chen was to find out who had filed the lawsuit against Dingsheng Real Estate.

President Su was at a dead end.

He had several Dingsheng Real Estate projects that were currently unable to start construction.

In his original plan, President Su had intended to sell off these projects and use the money to fill the hole that was Joy City.

But now, it seemed,

these projects were probably frozen as well.

President Su felt that his life’s work was about to come to an end.

Secretary Chen was still very efficient.

He had managed to get the information just as the banks and courts were opening for the day.

”President Su, the lawsuit filed with the court is from Lin Feng. He must be the young man who came to the office about the contract and the penalty fee.”

”Because their evidence was so thorough, the court took all factors into account and decided to freeze all of Dingsheng Real Estate’s assets...”

Secretary Chen explained.

President Su had already suspected as much, but now he was forced to accept it as the truth.

”Xiaochen, thank you. I understand.”

On his end of the line, President Su forced a smile that looked uglier than a grimace of pain.

After ending the call, President Su sat in his empty office.

He held his head in his hands, not knowing where to go from here.

BANG!

Suddenly, the office door was smashed open.

The one who came in was, surprisingly, Liu Yan.

Liu Yan’s face was haggard. She burst in and, without another word, grabbed President Su by his clothes.

”You’re unbelievable! You actually had my bank account frozen?”

”I can’t withdraw a single cent from my card!”

”Did you have to go this far?”

Seeing Liu Yan having a breakdown,

President Su suddenly laughed sinisterly. ”It’s good that it’s frozen. Now none of us can escape.”

”To be honest with you, I’m now carrying nearly a billion in debt.”

”Half of it is from that Joy City project.”

”You’re the guarantor. Did you really think you could get away?”

”We’ve been sued!”

Hearing President Su’s words, Liu Yan was instantly stunned.

One billion!

One billion in debt!

For Liu Yan, that was a sum she could never repay in her lifetime.

Like a dying patient, she desperately grasped at straws.

At that moment, Liu Yan’s mind was frantically searching for a solution.

Su Ruoxi!

Her good-looking stepdaughter!

If they married Su Ruoxi off to a rich family, they could get some money out of it.

If they just sold this pretty daughter,

perhaps they could alleviate the current crisis.

It was a last resort.

Besides, for a woman like Liu Yan, who had long since lost her moral compass,

this method was the simplest, the crudest, and also the most effective.

”What are you moping around for?”

”Have you forgotten you still have a precious daughter?”

”I never told you this before, but Chairman Zhang’s son, Young Master Zhang, is quite interested in your precious daughter.”

”If that girl Su Ruoxi marries into Chairman Zhang’s family,”

”with our families connected by marriage, would he still pressure you about your loan?”

”Once your cash flow recovers, wouldn’t you be able to operate as usual?”

In that moment, Liu Yan unleashed her powers of persuasion to the fullest.

President Su stared blankly for a moment, then sneered. ”Just like a woman—all hair and no brains. Why do you think I collapsed so quickly this time?”

”I’m afraid you have no idea how much effort this Chairman Zhang and his son, Young Master Zhang, put in behind the scenes!”

”Speaking of which, did you offend Young Master Zhang?”

”Otherwise, why would that father and son go to such great lengths to crush Dingsheng Real Estate?”
