My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again-Chapter 1673: The Grand Wedding (Part 3)

Chapter 1673: Chapter 1673: The Grand Wedding (Part 3)
"Even if he comes back, so what? The Jufeng Group is on the brink of collapse. Can he possibly bring it back to life?" Xiao Ji sneered, refusing to acknowledge that Ye Qilan was superior to him.
"What if he doesn’t care about the fate of the Jufeng Group at all?" Du Qingyu countered, "Don’t forget, we’ve already used up all the funds we can mobilize to trap the Jufeng Group. Now, if any project of the Hongkang Group encounters the slightest problem, we’re as good as trapped."
She now suspected that Ye Qilan was using Jufeng Group to set up Xiao Ji, aiming to leave him without a grave.
The Jiangyin Group, which originally supported the Hongkang Group, has changed ownership, leaving them without any backup.
"No, he wouldn’t dare play this way..." Xiao Ji shook his head, unwilling to believe that Ye Qilan dared to take such a risk.
But in fact, to deal with the Jufeng Group, he really had exhausted all the liquid funds the Hongkang Group could mobilize. If any link went wrong, the Hongkang Group would be stuck.
This would create a vicious cycle with unimaginable consequences.
What he hadn’t expected was that, just as he was discussing with Du Qingyu whether Ye Qilan had returned to Taicheng, something happened to the Hongkang Group.
The financial chief of the Hongkang Group suddenly absconded with funds, and the loan project negotiated with the bank last week fell through at the same time.
The two projects involving both Hongkang Group and the Ye Family also malfunctioned simultaneously.
For a while, negative rumors about the Hongkang Group spread wildly online. As a result, the staff of the Hongkang Group wouldn’t be paid this month.
Du Qingyu and Xiao Ji worked late into the night but still hadn’t resolved a single problem.
Du Qingyu looked at Xiao Ji weakly, "See? I told you, he’s back. He has been secretly orchestrating everything, waiting for the right moment to deal us a fatal blow. Now, we have no usable funds at hand and the banks aren’t philanthropists; they won’t lend to us at this point. That means we can’t pay wages, lose the people’s trust, and then it’s internal conflict..."
At this point, she closed her eyes, "Without a doubt, we’re finished."
"It’s too early to say that, don’t be so easily disheartened," Xiao Ji forced himself to remain calm.
"So, do you have any countermeasures?" Du Qingyu queried.
Xiao Ji stayed silent. If he had a solution, he wouldn’t be sitting there listening to Du Qingyu complain.
"It’s late, let’s rest, I’m tired too." Du Qingyu said as she got up, walking to the door, she turned back towards Xiao Ji, "You should start thinking about an exit strategy now."
Given the situation, they could only prepare for the worst. With the building on the verge of collapsing, no one would be spared.
The way Xiao Ji obtained everything he had now is likely the way he will lose it all.
Xiao Ji said nothing, turning his gaze towards the world outside the window.
It was already early morning, the whole world was quiet, yet his heart was far from calm.
Just a few days ago, he thought he could defeat Ye Qilan, but never expected the plot to twist and everything to change so quickly.
Du Qingyu watched Xiao Ji’s forlorn back, and sighed lightly, "We all loved the wrong people." And so, they trapped the ones they loved, as well as themselves.
If they hadn’t been unable to escape, would things not have turned out like this?
She did indeed regret it, but also realized that her regret came too late. When she found out about Cao Shiyu’s fate, she should have retreated prudently, but out of reluctance, she kept making mistakes, leaving her with nowhere to retreat now.
