NOVEL NEXT Chapter 53: Time to counterattack
After completely crushing the Zhao Group with thunderous force last time, Su Yu once again astonished Chen Yufei. Although she didn't understand the Wu family, the information Su Yu had gathered in just over an hour was enough to bring significant trouble to the Wu family.
While it might not be fatal, it could severely damage their vitality and leave them in a precarious state. She couldn't fathom why this man was so formidable!
The Wu family is the second largest family in Yuncheng, yet in Su Yu's eyes, they seemed no different from the Zhao family. Her eyes were filled with infinite admiration.
As someone deeply interested in business and economy, she has been completely conquered by Su Yu's strength. She would gladly become a woman for such a man.
After a while, Su Yu stopped gathering information. He lifted his head and glanced at the time. It has been over an hour since the Wu family made a move against the Su Group.
With the Wu family's influence and financial power in Yuncheng, Su Yu believed that the Su Group must have encountered numerous difficulties. His own beloved father was indeed caring for him.
Despite the relentless attacks on the Su Group, not a single call came, even if all knew he was the reason. Su Yu smiled and shook his head. This was true love. With that in mind, he dialed his father's number.
"Hey, brat, what's up?"
The call was quickly answered, and Su Hongwen's voice came through, pretending to sound relaxed. However, Su Yu could discern the hidden weariness and anxiety in his voice.
"Dad, how is our Su Group doing now?"
Su Yu asked with a smile.
"You brat, you still have the nerve to smile. Do you believe I'll break your legs?" Su Hongwen scolded with a laugh, then his tone turned somewhat grave.
"Several important partner companies have terminated their cooperation, suppliers have stopped providing goods, and the banks have come knocking for debt collection...
"I reckon the families and companies in Yuncheng are all waiting to see our family's downfall. The Wu family truly lives up to its reputation as the second largest family in Yuncheng. Their offensive is fierce."
"Do you think we can hold on?"
Su Yu asked.
"Of course, we can hold on. Your old man isn't someone to be trifled with. At worst, our Su Group will go bankrupt, but before that happens, I will take a chunk of flesh from the Wu family."
Su Hongwen's tone carried determination and ruthlessness, exuding the aura of a shrewd and ambitious leader.
A person who could build such a huge business empire from scratch couldn't be a simple individual, after all.
"Now that you've achieved something, your mom and I can rest assured. Even if we lose the Su Group, we can still live a good life. Wan Yu Group is a wholly-owned company, unrelated to the Su Group.
"From now on, you'll have to walk your own path."
Su Hongwen continued.
There was a touch of sadness in his tone, but mostly it was contentment. He didn't blame Su Yu in the slightest, both in his words and between the lines. It was evident that he genuinely loved Su Yu.
"Dad, don't worry, now that he's finished singing, it's my turn to take the stage. It's time for us to counterattack. Expect good news from your son."
Su Yu also felt touched and reassured.
"Counterattack? Sigh... our Su family may be called the fourth largest family in Yuncheng, but we are far behind the Wu family."
Su Hongwen sighed wryly.
Although Su Yu had crushed the Zhao family, the weight of the Wu family was incomparable to that of the Zhao family. Even he didn't believe that Su Yu had any means to deal with them.
"Dad, send me a report on the current situation of our company."
Su Yu requested.
"Alright."
Su Hongwen didn't ask anything further. Soon, he sent all the information to Su Yu.
Su Yu looked at the message sent by his father.
Soon, he had a plan in mind. First, he needed to resolve the crisis within his own company, and then he would launch a counterattack. He dialed a number directly. After a few beeps, the call was finally answered.
"Who are you? Why do you have my number?" came a cautious voice of a middle-aged man on the other end of the line.
"Mr. Song Yi, Chairman of Hua Feng Bank. I am Su Yu, the son of Su Hongwen from Yuncheng's Su Group. I would like to discuss the matter of a loan from Su Group with you.
"And also the cooperation between Hua Feng Bank and the Wu Group. Oh, and by the way, our own collaboration."
Su Yu said with a faint smile. The man on the other side was Song Yi, the chairman of Hua Feng Private Bank in Yan Kingdom. Hua Feng Private Bank held a massive amount of cash and had invested in several formidable companies in the Tianhai Province.
Song Yi was renowned as a financial guru throughout the entire province. Many of the Wu family's loans came from Hua Feng Private Bank.
"Heh…" Song Yi suddenly let out a scornful laugh. "The Su Group from Yuncheng? Young man, do you know who I am?
"Even your father wouldn't dare to speak to me like this, let alone an immature kid like you. Are you qualified?
"I actually heard about you these past few days—a useless playboy daring to claim that he will crush the Wu family.
"Now that you know about the relationship between the Wu family and our bank, you still think you can obtain a loan from me to save your Su Group?"
Song Yi's disdain for Su Yu was evident in his words.
"Don't be in a hurry, Mr. Song. You can answer the call while opening your communication software. I've already sent you some information.
"You can take a look. I believe you'll be very interested in this information. Here's a hint: March 20th, twenty years ago, and eighteen years ago..."
As Su Yu recited those dates, Song Yi's face had already turned pale. He hurriedly opened his communication software to check the information Su Yu had sent.
After a moment, as he carefully scanned through the documents, his whole body trembled, and he stared at his phone as if he were gazing into his own future.
"Master Su, Master Su, what do you want me to do? I'll do as you said!"
