Chapter 43: The Labyrinth of Capital
Page 1/3
Time: Five days later
Location: Shen Group Global Command Center
The crisis within the Global New Energy Intelligent Dispatch System had been resolved, and the network architecture was gradually stabilizing. The global new energy supply chain was returning to its normal course. Yet, everyone understood that this calm was merely superficial.
Zhao Ming stood before the main control console in the command center, his complexion pale and eyes bloodshot. He had been working nonstop for days, analyzing the core data copied from the Berlin laboratory.
“Yun Chuan, I’ve discovered an abnormal capital flow path.”
On the screen, a complex financial network map appeared, countless streams of funds intertwined. Among them, one conspicuous red line snaked toward an unknown destination.
“This capital chain originates from multiple offshore accounts, laundered through multiple layers, and ultimately converges at a company called ‘Abyss Holdings.’”
Shen Qingwan spoke softly, “Abyss Holdings? Is this the Abyss Consortium’s new disguise?”
Zhao Ming nodded. “Exactly. This company appears to be a legitimate new energy investment firm, but in reality, it has quietly acquired key nodes in several zero-carbon cities and several core new energy technology suppliers.”
Xu Yunchuan’s gaze turned cold. “They are repositioning themselves in the capital market, attempting to regain control of the new energy sector through legitimate means.”
Shen Qingwan took a deep breath, her eyes resolute. “We must stop them, or all our efforts will be in vain.”

Capital Storm
Time: Two days later
Location: Wall Street, International Capital Summit
On Wall Street in New York, the heart of global capital, all financial arteries converged, circulated, and collided. Today, it hosted the Global New Energy Capital Summit, gathering major energy giants and international financial institutions.
Representing Shen Group, Shen Qingwan stood on the stage, facing the spotlight and the eyes of investors from around the world. Her voice was clear and powerful.
“Ladies and gentlemen, new energy is the pivotal pillar for humanity’s future development. However, recently, we have uncovered that some capital forces are covertly attempting to regain control over the new energy market.”
“If this situation continues unchecked, the global new energy market will once again plunge into chaos, and our efforts will be wasted.”
Low murmurs rose from the audience, though many wore grave expressions, clearly sensing the undercurrent at play.

Meanwhile, Xu Yunchuan sat in the lounge as Zhao Ming’s voice came through his earpiece.
“Yun Chuan, I’ve tracked Abyss Holdings’ representative at this summit. Their aim is to use the summit to sign a ‘Global New Energy Strategic Cooperation Agreement,’ enabling them to infiltrate the market once more.”
“Who is the representative?” Xu Yunchuan asked.
“Allen Black. He is Abyss Holdings’ chief representative in Europe and America, skilled in capital operations and market acquisitions.”
“If they’ve come, they won’t leave so easily.” Xu Yunchuan’s eyes sharpened.

Capital Confrontation
In the summit’s VIP lounge, Allen Black stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, holding a glass of red wine with a composed demeanor.
“Xu Yunchuan, we meet again.” Allen slowly turned and smiled at Xu Yunchuan.
“Your plan has been uncovered.” Xu Yunchuan said coldly.
Allen smiled, swirling his wine glass gently. “Uncovered? What you call uncovering is merely seeing the tip of the iceberg. The power of capital is never something you can block.”
“Your capital chains have been exposed. All illegal accounts will be frozen, and your capital layout will be rendered null.” Xu Yunchuan stood firm.
Allen’s smile faded, his gaze sharp. “Xu Yunchuan, understand this: you’re fighting an invisible storm. This game is far more complex than you imagine.”
“Then let’s see about that.” Xu Yunchuan said coldly, turning to leave.

Financial Battlefield
An unseen war erupted quietly in the capital markets.
Under Zhao Ming’s command, Shen Group collaborated with multiple national financial regulatory bodies to comprehensively freeze Abyss Holdings’ capital chains.
Wall Street, London’s financial district, Tokyo Stock Exchange... freeze orders came simultaneously from multiple markets, completely locking Abyss Holdings’ capital flow.
“Report! Abyss Holdings’ main accounts have been frozen. Their capital chains have been severed.”

“Excellent!” Zhao Ming exhaled deeply.
However, at that moment, a red alert suddenly flashed on the screen.
“Warning! Abyss Holdings is initiating a capital counterattack, attempting to reroute funds through other offshore accounts.”
Zhao Ming sprang to his feet, his voice urgent. “They’ve activated backup capital chains! If they succeed in rerouting, this blockade will be rendered useless!”

Desperate Breakthrough
Inside the Wall Street trading hall, the market shifted constantly, stock prices fluctuating wildly. Capital tycoons frantically maneuvered across sectors, attempting to transfer funds to safe havens.
“Zhao Ming, how much time do we have?” Xu Yunchuan asked.
“At most ten minutes! We must complete the comprehensive account freeze within this window, or the funds will escape regulation entirely.”
“Keep tracking. Lock onto every transfer account. Sever their capital chains completely!” Xu Yunchuan ordered.
Thanks to the efficient coordination between Zhao Ming and the financial regulators, funds were intercepted one by one, and every escape route was blocked.
In the end, Abyss Holdings’ capital chains were thoroughly severed, all illegal accounts frozen, and their capital rerouting plan failed.

End of the Capital Maze
On the giant screen on Wall Street, Abyss Holdings’ stock plummeted sharply within hours, wiping out tens of billions in assets and shattering market confidence.
In the command center, Zhao Ming removed his earpiece, eyes tired but shining with victory. “Yun Chuan, we’ve won.”
Shen Qingwan nodded softly. “In this capital battle, we’ve finally turned the tide.”
Xu Yunchuan stood by the window, gazing at the distant sunset, his voice low and resolute. “This battle isn’t over yet. But at least now, we have regained the initiative.”
