454: Chapter 454 Eliminate the Weeds at the Root, Intelligence Updated

Shen Yan asked.

Su Wan shook her head.

"They are holding together very tightly; there is almost no breakthrough to be found."

"No group is perfect."

Shen Yan's gaze moved slowly across the relationship chart.

"As long as they are human, they have desires and weaknesses."

His finger finally landed on the name of the Finance Director, Zhao Dehai.

"Start with him."

"Zhao Dehai?"

Su Wan was somewhat puzzled.

"This man is a die-hard loyalist to Zhou Li. He is famously stubborn, greedy, yet extremely cautious."

"Caution is only because the temptation isn't big enough,"

Shen Yan said indifferently.

"He has a son. To pad his resume, he arranged for him to study abroad, where he lives a luxurious lifestyle with massive expenses. As far as I know, his son recently became addicted to gambling and has run up a massive debt."

Su Wan was stunned.

"This... how do you know?"

Even she, the one in power at the group, didn't know this information.

Shen Yan didn't answer.

He just continued writing a line on the whiteboard.

[Step One: Break the Weakness.]

"I'll arrange for someone to contact Zhao Dehai's son and set a trap for him, making him owe an astronomical sum that his father can't possibly pay back."

"Then, our people will step in to 'help' him pay off the gambling debt. Tell me, what choice will Zhao Dehai make?"

Su Wan gasped.

This move struck at the very foundation—ruthless and precise.

"Next is Sun Qing."

Shen Yan's finger moved to the next name.

"This man is a womanizer. He keeps several mistresses on the side. One of them is his college classmate's daughter, who just turned twenty this year."

Shen Yan's tone remained flat.

"We don't need to do much. We just need to 'accidentally' send these photos and videos to his wife and his father-in-law, who is a leader in the Discipline Inspection Commission."

[Step Two: Create Internal Strife.]

"Then there's Li Wei."

"He..."

Shen Yan didn't speak fast, but every word was like a precise scalpel, dissecting every member of Zhou Li's gang.

He analyzed each person's character, weaknesses, family relationships, and social background one by one.

Then, for each person, he formulated a series of interlocking, fatal strike plans.

Some started with finances.

Some disintegrated through family.

Some exploded from their past unknown dark secrets.

Every step was clear and organized.

Every plan could be described as vicious.

Standing aside, Su Wan went from initial shock to later admiration, and finally, to an emotion bordering on awe.

She looked at the man standing before the whiteboard, talking eloquently.

His profile, illuminated by the sunlight, was sharply defined.

His eyes were as deep as a bottomless cold pool.

At this moment, he didn't look like an entrepreneur, but more like a top-tier strategist who controlled the whole situation and decided people's fates.

Devising strategies in a command tent to win battles a thousand miles away.

Su Wan suddenly realized that her perception of this man had always remained on the surface.

She thought he was just a business genius.

But now she understood that business might just be one of the stages where he displayed his strength.

His power was far more terrifying than she had imagined.

A mysterious sentiment quietly sprouted in her heart.

It wasn't simple admiration; it was mixed with a hint of looking up to the strong and a fluttering heart.

"...The final step."

Shen Yan wrote four words heavily on the whiteboard.

[Closing the Net and Settlement.]

"When their internal structure falls apart and everyone is panicking, you will call a Board of Directors meeting in the name of the Chairman and bring out all the evidence we've gathered."

"By then, Zhou Li will be a commander without an army."

"He will no longer have any power to fight back."

Shen Yan turned around and looked at the dumbfounded Su Wan.

"I've finished explaining my plan."

"President Su, any questions?"

Su Wan snapped out of it, looked at the whiteboard full of strategies, and shook her head.

Her voice carried a hint of trembling that she hadn't even noticed.

"No... none."

"This plan is perfect."

So perfect that it made her blood run cold.

And so perfect that it made her blood boil with excitement.

The handwriting on the whiteboard was as sharp as a knife.

Every name corresponded to a meticulous plan.

Every step pointed toward a final conclusion.

Looking at all this, Su Wan felt a faint chill down her spine.

Shen Yan put away the marker and turned to look at her.

"Remember, the most important part of this plan is the timing."

His voice was calm but carried an unquestionable weight.

"Regarding Zhao Dehai's son, I'll have someone close the net within three days."

"Once his son gets into trouble, Zhao Dehai will act like a mad dog, trying to find ways to raise money."

"At that time, you will appear 'at just the right moment' and give him a choice he can't refuse."

Su Wan took a deep breath and nodded.

"I understand."

"As for Sun Qing, I'll have someone send the materials to his father-in-law anonymously."

"A leader of the Discipline Inspection Commission cherishes his reputation above all else."

"He won't tolerate his son-in-law bringing such a huge stain upon him."

Shen Yan's gaze shifted to the third name on the whiteboard, Li Wei.

"I'll handle this man."

"What you need to do is wait."

"Wait for my signal."

"Once the signal arrives, immediately convene the Board of Directors and slam all the evidence onto the table at once."

"Don't give Zhou Li any chance to breathe or counterattack."

Su Wan clenched her palms tightly.

Her palms were covered in sweat.

She looked at Shen Yan; this man seemed to have foreseen everything.

"President Shen... this time, thank you so much."

"To show my gratitude, I'd like to treat you to a simple dinner tonight, I wonder if..."

Her words weren't finished yet.

Shen Yan raised his hand and interrupted her.

"No rush for dinner."

"Let's get the job done first."

His tone was indifferent, revealing no emotion.

"Go back and prepare. Keep your phone on twenty-four hours a day for the next few days."

Su Wan opened her mouth but ultimately swallowed her words.

She knew that in front of this man, any pleasantries were redundant.

"Okay."

"I'll wait for your news."

She took one last look at the whiteboard covered in plans, turned, and walked quickly out of the office in her high heels.

The office door closed softly.

Cutting off all outside sound.

Shen Yan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and watched Su Wan's car merge into the traffic below until it disappeared.

His face still showed no expression.

This 5% stake in the Qinghe Group was just a move in his business expansion.

And Su Wan was just an executor in this move.

What he really cared about was the voice that had just sounded in his mind.
