"If things go well, one day in the future, we might just be able to beco a top-tier family like the Zheng Family, who also started in comrce, just like us,"
Liu Yongyuan turned to look at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, feeling a storm of ambitions stirring in his heart.
"The Zheng Family in Yanjing?"
Liu Qing exclaid in shock, looking at his father with disbelief.
He had never imagined that his father harbored such grand ambitions: the Zheng Family in Yanjing, what a presence that was!
They were one of Huaxia's top families, with imasurable strength and heritage. Although their Liu Family also counted as a significant force in Jiangnan, in comparison with the Zheng Family of Yanjing, they were hardly worth ntioning. They weren't even in the sa league!
Seeing the shocked expression on Liu Qing's face, Liu Yongyuan smiled slightly:
"What? You think it's impossible?"
"To be honest, I've never dared to dream that big—it's the Zheng Family in Yanjing!"
Liu Qing shook his head with a wry smile, his admiration for his father growing inside him.

"If you can secure Lin Ruoxue and the Belle Corporation, it could very well beco a reality one day!"
Liu Yongyuan encouraged him with a hopeful look.
"Even if we can't reach the heights of the Zheng Family, at least our Liu Family's strength will surge dramatically. Replacing the Wu Family as the foremost among the Four Great Families of Jiangnan will be within easy reach."
"Okay, Father, don't worry. I will figure out a way to marry Lin Ruoxue and take control of the Belle Corporation,"
Liu Qing was inspired by his father's ambitious vision, speaking with unwavering resolve.
"Good, I believe in you," Liu Yongyuan chuckled as he walked over to Liu Qing and patted him on the shoulder, "As for that young man you think might be an obstacle, if we can't find out enough about him, we'll just have to eliminate him."

Su Chen was, of course, completely unaware of what was transpiring in the Liu family's mansion.
The next morning, just like every day in recent months, he rose early to make breakfast.
Wang Ma and Lin Ruoxue had grown used to this routine, now only finding it surprising if he didn't cook.
However, it seed that Lin Ruoxue hadn't quite recovered from her state the previous day and deliberately avoided Su Chen's gaze during breakfast.
She wolfed down a few bites before hurrying off to work in her car.
Su Chen found, rather amusingly, that his wife seed to be growing cuter by the day!
Shortly afterward, Su Chen leisurely drove his BMW 5 Series to work, humming an unknown tune and lightly tapping his fingers on the steering wheel.
Just as he was about to reach the Belle Building, he suddenly found the road ahead was blocked. The long queue of cars couldn't move at all, and many people were gathered around, seemingly discussing sothing.
With no option to proceed, Su Chen had no choice but to get out and see what was happening.
Upon reaching the crowd, he realized it was an accident—a giant truck had collided with a Cadillac. The Cadillac was so mangled it was nearly unrecognizable; the hood was completely crushed, one side's window had shattered, and the other door was wide open, resembling a heap of scrap tal.
"Mom, hang in there, please hang on, the physician will be here soon."
Just then, a tense, trembling voice rang out.
Su Chen looked closer and saw a very beautiful woman in her twenties desperately shouting at another middle-aged woman, her face full of panic.
The middle-aged woman was covered in blood, her head drooping to one side, her long hair drenched in blood and sticking to her face, obscuring her features.
Her abdon had been impaled by a steel pipe from the broken car window, and blood kept flowing out!
"Where's the physician? Why isn't the physician here yet!"
The young woman shouted madly outwards, her forehead also injured with fresh blood seeping out, but at that mont, she didn't care about her wounds at all.
"The doctor is here, the doctor is here!"
Just then, the siren of the ambulance resounded, and the crowd voluntarily cleared a path.
As soon as the paradics disembarked, they imdiately rushed over with a stretcher. Leading the way was a physician in his fifties and a younger doctor, probably in his twenties, who looked like his assistant or student.
anwhile, another group of five or six people hurried over from a different direction, led by a middle-aged man who looked very authoritative, clearly a high-ranking official, his expression extrely grave at the mont.
Upon seeing this group, a burst of exclamations erupted from the crowd.
"Look, who is that coming?"
"Ah, it's Mayor Tang, why has he co?"
"Indeed, it is Mayor Tang. What is he doing here this early in the morning? Could he just be passing by?"
The paradics and Mayor Tang Mingji's group almost arrived simultaneously at the scene of the accident.
The attending physician and the paradics were also surprised by the appearance of Tang Mingji and promptly greeted him:
"Good day, Mayor Tang."
Tang Mingji imdiately waved his hand:
"Never mind , you guys hurry up and rescue the patient."
Then he said to the woman in the car:
"Xiaoyun, co out quickly, don't obstruct the doctors' work."
The young woman inside the car hurriedly stepped out and approached Tang Mingji, crying:
"Dad, mom won't be in trouble, will she?"
"No, we must trust the doctors."
Tang Mingji embraced the young woman, gently patting her shoulder to comfort her.
The attending physician trembled, not expecting that the victim of the car crash was Mayor Tang's wife. Suddenly, he felt the pressure imnsely increase.
Normally, a car accident wouldn't require his presence, but he had co personally after hearing the relatives' descriptions at the scene because he felt the situation was quite serious.
Now, he was unsure whether coming today was right or wrong.
The onlooking crowd hadn't expected that the woman was Mayor Tang's wife either.
The attending physician checked the situation and his expression imdiately turned very serious; it was much more severe than he had imagined.
"Mayor Tang, hurry up and notify the fire departnt to start extrication, make sure they hurry!"
As soon as the physician had finished his examination, he shouted loudly to Tang Mingji.
No sooner had he spoken than Tang Mingji's assistant imdiately contacted the fire brigade. Then, the physician stepped back and reported to Tang Mingji:
"Mayor Tang, the situation is much more serious than we anticipated; you need to be prepared ntally!"
"Doctor, please, you must save my mother! I beg you!"
The young woman suddenly grasped the physician's clothes, her face showing a pleading look.
"Rest assured, we will do our utmost!"
The physician patted the young woman's hand, comforting her as he spoke.
"Tell , what exactly is the situation now?"
Tang Mingji was also extrely nervous inside, but he still tried to calm himself down, knowing that being nervous or scared would not help solve the problem at this mont.
