At this mont, the Wei Family is like a grasshopper on a hot pan, jumping up and down, trying to figure out what exactly happened...
However, the families applying pressure on the Wei Family's partners are extrely powerful. Even if they don't step forward, there are plenty of people with substantial strength willing to serve them. So even wish to tie their entire influence just to climb up to that mighty and authoritative family.
This family is naturally the Shangguan Clan. Although Shangguan Longyi follows Ye Hao around every day, calling him boss, Shangguan Longyi also has his circle of friends. Which of his friends or brothers isn't either rich or noble? The assets of the family are in the billions.
When Shangguan Longyi casually ntions the Wei Family in Shanghai, they are smart people. They imdiately understand and inform their families about it.
Their families, eager to latch onto the towering Shangguan Clan, naturally use every ans to pressure the Wei Family's partners to dissolve their cooperation.
...
Mayor Wang Xiang of Shanghai sat in his mayoral office, frowning at a large pile of docunts in front of him. The docunts listed those who participated in the assassination of a military major general. Wang Xiang was deciding whether to dispatch the police to "invite" the heads of the Zhuang Family and the He Family to the municipal office for tea and discussions on how to resolve the incident.
It was impossible to make peace, given the military's watchful gaze. Now, Wang Xiang's task was not to injure the military's dignity but to satisfy them.
After a long ti, Wang Xiang sighed.
"Old Zhuang, Old He, you only have yourselves to bla for making such unwise decisions." After sighing, Wang Xiang connected with the Shanghai police departnt to have them bring in the Zhuang Family and the He Family.
...
At the top-tier Ming Pearl club in Shanghai, Du Yusheng and He Hongzhou and others were glaring darkly at each other.
Du Yusheng's lackey, Jiang Feng, was watching from the side; he was secretly grateful that he didn't have his family act against Ye Hao. Ye Hao's identity indeed caught them by surprise; Ye Hao was actually a military major general...
"This isn't true; the military is using this incident to knock us down. He's only twenty-two; how could he be a major general? I don't believe it. Mr. Du, your Tian Xiong..." Zhuang Yang yelled in disbelief, intending to ask whether Du Yusheng's Tian Xiong had completed the task.
"What do you an my Tian Xiong, Zhuang Yang? It's best to think clearly about the consequences before speaking." Du Yusheng imdiately turned hostile, showing his true nature at a mont of crisis without a hint of carelessness.
If Tian Xiong were exposed, it would certainly affect Du's smuggling business. Du's family had maintained a solid footing in Shanghai for so many years, mainly by having a very hidden smuggling sche. If Tian Xiong were targeted by the governnt or military, he would only be able to carry on smuggling underground.
But would the military and governnt allow him to smuggle? The answer is clearly no.
Therefore, his priority was to let Tian Xiong sever ties; otherwise, he, Du Yusheng, would bear the brunt, as Tian Xiong is an Innate expert and the one who took action.
If the military targeted Tian Xiong and then looked at Du's family, even with money and influence, Du's family would still face a lot of trouble, given their partial association with the underworld.
If those at the top decided to strike at Du's family, it would certainly make them suffer for quite a while, possibly even causing substantial damage.
"Mr. Du, this..." Zhuang Yang stared blankly at Du Yusheng. What was going on? Was this still the Du Yusheng who was chatting amiably just a mont ago?
Was this Du Yusheng still the person they knew?
He Hongzhou saw Zhuang Yang still unaware that Du Yusheng intended to sever their relationship. He Hongzhou smiled bitterly; ultimately, Du's family narrowly avoided this disaster! Tian Xiong had returned safely to Qing Bang.
Based on He Hongzhou's understanding of Qing Bang, if his guess was correct, Tian Xiong must have a stand-in at Qing Bang helping him manage things. Even if they were caught by the police, exposing Tian Xiong would be pointless.
Indeed, Qing Bang and Tian Xiong were far too cunning.
"Zhuang Yang, if I were you, I'd consider what excuse to use to cover organizing so many people to attack a military major general. Otherwise, being in prison won't be pleasant." Du Yusheng coldly stated, clearly shifting all responsibility to Zhuang Yang and He Hongzhou.
"Haha." He Hongzhou chuckled. He had long seen through Du Yusheng as a very insidious person but didn't expect him to act so directly and openly.
"He Hongzhou, stop laughing and contemplate what to do next!" Zhuang Yang panicked; only now did he feel the urgency.
His family's warnings were severe; they said if he didn't voluntarily go to the police and disclose their actions, he wouldn't be able to get bail even if he ended up in prison.
"What is there to think about? You bear the consequences for what you've done, or be prepared for your family to beco history in Shanghai!" He Hongzhou realized the gravity of the situation. Initially not knowing Ye Hao was a major general, he could still face it with calm, as no ordinary person could stir up such a big commotion.
But knowing a thousand soldiers surrounded the old city, he realized the situation had unraveled. An hour ago, he decided to take responsibility for everything himself; otherwise, his family would be expelled from Shanghai, possibly involving even another family.
"Mr. Du, I hope that once I'm in, you can take care of my He Family. Regarding what happened today, I only know I recorded a short segnt with my voice recorder. Of course, if I forget about it, it might soon disappear. But if I dwell on it, perhaps I'll rember where it is. Beyond that, I know nothing. Mr. Du, farewell." With these words, He Hongzhou headed toward the door, planning to surrender as one of the masterminds.
Du Yusheng's face darkened upon hearing He Hongzhou's words, but he still said to He Hongzhou's departing figure, "Rest assured, I will take care of your family."
He Hongzhou, walking ahead, waved his hand, continuing to stride towards the door.
After He Hongzhou had left, Zhuang Yang anxiously asked, "Mr. Du, is there any way to prevent from going to prison?"
"Zhuang Yang, at this point, are you still thinking about that? If you're a law-abiding citizen, you should voluntarily follow the law and turn yourself in." Du Yusheng coldly snorted, "Feng, see the guest out."
"Yes, Mr. Du." Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng imdiately dragged Zhuang Yang out.
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yang urgently shouted, "Mr. Du, Mr. Du, help , please help , I..."
Du Yusheng remained indifferent, saying nothing. He wouldn't sacrifice his family's substantial assets for soone else. (To be continued.
