"Wait!"
Shen Zhengye was taken aback. "You know more of Jiang Xinghai's secrets?"
"If not, how could I have beco the Du Family's ssenger, delivering their marriage proposal?" Shen Zhengli sneered.
That's right. The Du Family's marriage proposal had been delivered by none other than Shen Zhengli.
"You can go."
Shen Zhengye suddenly waved a hand dismissively. "Everyone is entitled to their privacy. I have no interest in prying into Jiang's secrets."
He was certain that Shen Zhengli didn't actually know any of Jiang Xinghai's secrets and was just playing hard to get.
Sure enough, the color drained from Shen Zhengli's face. "Brother, the Du Family values Jiang Xinghai so highly because of his heaven-defying dical skills, right? So why did you tear up the marriage proposal? I think he's either a fool or an idiot!"
SLAP!
Shen Zhengye raised his hand and slapped Shen Zhengli across the face. "Second Brother, don't you run your mouth in front of . Get out!"
"Fine, I'll get out!"
Shen Zhengli clutched his bleeding mouth and said sinisterly, "But before I get out, you'll give at least five hundred million. Otherwise, I'll die right here tonight!"
"Second Brother, years ago, you tried to have killed several tis. I ignored Father's objections and still gave you half the family fortune. How many years has it been? And now you're back for more? Demanding five hundred million right off the bat—do you think I'm a printing press for money?!" Shen Zhengye grabbed Shen Zhengli with one hand and threw him out of the room.
Shen Zhengli slumped to the floor and sneered, "Shen Zhengye, are you really out of money? What a joke. I happen to know the Shen Corporation just received an investnt of at least one and a half billion. Is giving five hundred million really that much?"
"You seem to know quite a lot," Shen Zhengye said, raising an eyebrow.
This brother of his had been unruly since childhood. If not for the Shen Family's protection, he would have died countless tis over!
"You should think about whose ssenger I am tonight." With these words, Shen Zhengli exposed himself.
"The Du Family told you all this?"
Shen Zhengye looked down at Shen Zhengli. "For the sake of us being brothers, born of the sa mother, I can agree to give you another hundred million. But you have to tell everything you know. I'm talking about the Du Family's sche, not Jiang Xinghai."
"Three hundred million, minimum!" Shen Zhengli said.
"Two hundred million. Take it or leave it!" Shen Zhengye was resolute.
"Done!"
A triumphant smile finally spread across Shen Zhengli's face. "Brother, what I'm about to say is very important. You can take it as sothing I accidentally overheard during a Du Family strategy eting, or you can take it as sothing the Du Family intentionally let hear. Understand?"
"Are you telling the Du Family might be setting a trap?" Shen Zhengye nodded. "Speak."
Shen Zhengli slowly rose to his feet. After glancing around to make sure they were alone, he whispered, "If he is of use to us, we weigh our options with him. If not, we will strangle him in the cradle."
HISS!
Shen Zhengye's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.
"I suggest the Shen Family pack up and leave overnight, to avoid being ruined by Jiang Xinghai," Shen Zhengli added.
SLAP!
But Shen Zhengye slapped him hard again. "You will never understand how terrifyingly powerful Jiang Xinghai is. Even if the Du Family sches to fra him, he has the power to protect himself, and what's more..."
"Why did you hit again?!" Shen Zhengli flared up.
"I'm reminding you that the less you know, the better."
Shen Zhengye transferred two hundred million to Shen Zhengli as agreed and had him sign an agreent stating this would be the last ti.
...
「1:00 AM.」
「The Du Family Estate, South City, Jizhou.」
It was a manor situated right next to the sea.
Among all the properties in Jizhou, it ranked in the top three.
"The Du Family certainly is impressive."
Jiang Xinghai drove up to the stone archway outside the Du Family estate, parked, and got out.
From the archway to the Du Family mansion, there was still at least a kiloter to go.
RING RING RING...
His phone rang. The call was from Shen Zhengye.
"Uncle, you have sothing to tell ?" Jiang Xinghai answered the phone.
"Jiang, you were right. There really was soone in my room. It was my good-for-nothing brother. He was the one who acted as the Du Family's ssenger and delivered that marriage proposal. I've already sent him away, but he left behind an important piece of information..." Shen Zhengye said all in one breath.
"I see. I understand now." Jiang Xinghai smiled knowingly and hung up.
A bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes as he muttered to himself, "This isn't just how a Martial Arts Clan operates; it's how every power works. If you can't be used by , you must be eliminated, strangled in the cradle."
After finishing a cigarette, Jiang Xinghai slamd on the accelerator and continued forward.
Whether the news was true or false, his purpose for coming here remained unchanged.
If the Du Family treated him with respect, he would let the matter drop.
If not, he had already destroyed the so-called behemoth, the Wang Family. Would it be so difficult to destroy the equally powerful Du Family?
「The Du Family Estate.」
A helicopter slowly descended, landing on the grounds of the Du Family estate.
A woman of unrivaled beauty, her long, glossy black hair cascading over her snow-white collarbones, leaped down from the helicopter.
She was dressed in a silken night-raid uniform, giving her a heroic and dashing appearance. Following behind her were two other won of equally stunning beauty.
"We welco the Celestial Net's Commander Zhao!"
Du Jingsong, along with the old and young of his entire clan, was bowing in attendance.
