Jiang Yan used anonymous capital to acquire three dying projects owned by the Jiang Group, and revived them step by step, forcing Jiang Chongshan to launch an emergency reorganization with the intention of annexing the remaining assets. Shen Zhao secretly passed the board of directors' secret message to him, but was discovered by Lin Zheng at a critical moment, and was forced to forge financial reports to protect himself, laying a foundation for a crisis of trust. Pei Yan took the opportunity to propose an "ecological merger and acquisition case" and exchanged data for equity to lure Jiang Yan into cooperation, but in fact he wanted to incorporate it into his own system. Jiang Yan used Jiang's internal monitoring logs provided by Qin Sui to expose Jiang Chongshan and overseas black gold chains, sparking public opinion but triggering Jiang Chengye's crazy counterattack. Under pressure, Lin Zheng handed over his mother's will, revealing that Jiang Yan was the legal first heir, but the document needed Shen Zhao's signature to be legally binding. Forced by his family and torn by his conscience, Shen Zhao chose to surrender, but was instigated by Pei Yan, who joined forces to fabricate evidence to accuse Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan disclosed all the data at the shareholders' meeting, played the recording of Jiang Chongshan's instructions to frame him in public, and personally initiated the "Thorns Act" to transfer all Jiang's assets to the newly established "Net Source Capital". He didn't take a single gold, but he made everyone understand: the real empire is never blood, but an order built by trust and truth. And Shen Zhao's stay, Lin Zheng's redemption, and Pei Yan's ambition have just entered the next chapter.
