Just as Lin Yun was arriving at the Mie Family residence.

The disturbing news of the sudden disappearance of the vast resources from the Mie Family warehouse amongst the warehouse clusters of Shen City, had already spread to the upper ranks of the Mie Family.

"How could this happen? How could resources worth twenty billion Huaxia Currency suddenly disappear?" an enraged executive of the Mie Family responded.

Twenty billion Huaxia Currency wasn't a small sum, even for the Mie Family, which had a century-long heritage and was now a powerful entity in Huaxia. Such a substantial loss was detrimental.

After calculating their gains and losses from the various manipulations of Qingyun Company, how much profit did they actually make?

The billion-dollar building that fell their way was only a slightly larger profit.

But the most valuable assets of Qingyun Company were their products, not the building. However, those products hadn't been turned into tangible cash yet. In contrast, the disappeared resources had been real and tangible.

"Could the guards have made a mistake?" another executive from the Mie Family hurriedly asked.

"They could not have possibly made a mistake. I've asked repeatedly. And how could there be any mistake with so many resources lying there? According to them, everything was there just a day ago. Today, one of their guards sensed something was off and upon inspecting, found everything gone.

They have no idea when exactly the resources disappeared.." another executive from the Mie Family shook his head as he explained.

"Humph! Our resources were there just fine, and now suddenly they are saying it's gone. The warehouse management company certainly knows how to spin a tale. Regardless of whether or not the resources have disappeared, and how they disappeared, we will demand the return of our resources..." a senior executive from the Mie Family coldly retorted without hesitation.

"Exactly, there's a strong possibility that the warehouse management company is playing tricks with us. So many resources, even if you moved them from one warehouse to another, it wouldn't go unnoticed. They vanish within a day, what a joke? Regardless of their circumstances, they must return the resources to our Mie Family!

Do they truly believe we, the Mie Family, are easy to tread upon because of our recent turmoil?" another executive from the Mie Family responded firmly.

Only a few high-ranking members of the Mie Family furrowed their brows. They knew that the matter wasn't so straightforward. The warehouses were not only guarded by the warehouse management company's guards but also by their Mie Family's guards.

The force behind the warehouse management company was substantial, and the Mie Family was only renting their warehouses. They did not sign any agreement to guarantee compensation in the event of a loss. If these resources indeed disappeared for unknown reasons, it wouldn't be easy to get the company to pay for the losses.

"I'm afraid..." one executive from Mie Family stated apprehensively.

He had an ominous feeling that the incident seemed abnormal, possibly connected with the recent turmoil within the Mie Family. His heartbeat quickened, unsettled by the instinctive prediction.

"Sir, we're in trouble. The resources in our Shanghai warehouse have also disappeared. It's about seventy billion Huaxia Currency worth of resources... All gone..." Just then, another person burst into the conference room and reported anxiously.

"The resources in Shanghai are all gone too?" The Mie family leader turned pale, suddenly standing up.

At this moment, he could no longer maintain his composure. The loss was not only once again of seventy billion Huaxia Currency resources but also reflected the enemy's force and means. Clearly, someone was deliberately planning against the Mie Family.

He quickly thought of the several ships the Mie Family had lost recently.

Those ships had cost the Mie Family around sixty billion Huaxia Currency.

This time they had once again lost two hundred and seventy billion Huaxia Currency worth of resources, totaling to a loss of over three hundred billion.

The losses were severe. If the Qingyun Company's building didn't fetch a good price, their earnings from that building would be less than this recent loss.

Thinking of the Qingyun Company's building, the unknown enemy, and the strength of Lin Yun and those behind him...

He gradually realized something horrific.

It seemed that all the catastrophic losses that had befallen the Mie Family occurred after they started plotting against Qingyun Company, including... the "kidnapping" of the Mie Family's heir, Mie Hai!

For so long, these "kidnappers" had not contacted them, it didn't appear to be the work of "kidnappers"!

Recalling that initially, the Mie Family assigned Mie Hai to contact Lin Yun!

Could all these incidents be... the work of Lin Yun, or the powers behind him?

Once the thought took hold, the Mie family leader became increasingly convinced.

Initially, he thought that the force behind the Qingyun Company wouldn't be capable of such actions.

But yesterday's battle signaled that the strength behind the Qingyun Company had far surpassed their estimations.

"The Mie Family's resources in both Shanghai and Shen City have all disappeared? Totaling to a value of two hundred and seventy billion?"

Lu Minghui, who was also present at the meeting, was indeed astonished like everyone else on the surface, but deep down, he found it amusing, if not slightly overjoyed.

What bad luck for the Mie Family. First, they lost six ships, each of two hundred thousand tons, costing them sixty billion Huaxia Currency. Now, the resources from two large warehouses have vanished, another loss of two hundred and seventy billion Huaxia Currency.

Indeed, this was... pretty good news!

Such immense losses should significantly weaken the Mie Family's strength. Although the Lu Family and the Mie Family were currently in a partnership, they were also competitors, especially given that they had now acquired Qingyun Company and had yet to divide the profits.

If the Mie Family's capacity was significantly diminished, then the Lu Family would have an advantage when it came to dividing the profits. Perhaps, they could get an even bigger share.

Just when Lu Minghui was engrossed in such thoughts, his phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, Uncle."

Lu Minghui took out his phone and answered.

Their family used a unique phone that couldn't be listened in on, occasionally the family would use it to contact the Mie Family.

"What? Our Lu Family's Shanghai warehouse also... hang on, let me ask about the Mie Family's situation..." Lu Minghui was surprised.

"Uncle, there's no need to ask. The Mie Family has just reported that their resources in the Shanghai warehouse have also disappeared. What's more, their resources in the Shen City warehouse have also vanished. The total value is about two hundred and seventy billion..." As Lu Minghui put it together, he hurriedly explained, his tone hinting at a bitter smile.

Such quick karma. He had just been revelling in the Mie Family's disaster, and it had immediately come around to his family.

While their family's loss was not as extensive as the Mie Family's, their resources were worth nearly eighty billion Huaxia Currency. The loss was nevertheless significant.
