CHAPTER 749: CHAPTER 378 ARRAY CONSTRUCTION

Zhang Songqiao and his Songqiao Group are indeed a behemoth in Huadu, but across the entire south, it’s merely an enterprise with some potential.

His influence rarely extends beyond basic necessities of ordinary people’s lives, much less affecting matters on a national level.

Just because of a single Mingzhu Port incident, Zhang Songqiao utilized all sorts of sinister tactics, watched by those big business families and ancient clans without any admiration—only contempt for his ineffectiveness.

What truly shocked the ancient clans was the turmoil within the Management Association.

After the turmoil, the most noticeable signal was the release of Bai Yunfei’s third uncle.

That very night, people visited the third uncle, promising various benefits and delivering favors.

In less than two days, the third uncle moved from a marginalized office to a garden office located at the center of the Management Association.

Meanwhile, during the Bai Group’s downfall, those partners who chose to take advantage of Bai Yunfei almost lined up to beg for forgiveness and apologize.

Lin Beichen’s fame completely stunned the forces in Huadu.

Lin Beichen did not publicize the demise of the Zhang Family, nor did he deny it.

No one knew what happened to the Zhang Family, let alone the specific details of the killings by Lin Beichen.

But everyone tacitly agreed on one point.

Based on Lin Beichen’s past behavior, today’s events wouldn’t have occurred unless the Zhang Family had crossed certain red lines.

The Zhang Family became too arrogant.

Commercial competition should remain within the realm of business. Why did he have to reach into other territories?

It’s said that a day before the Zhang Family’s annihilation, they issued an assassination order against Zhou Qilan, who helped the Bai Family.

Soon after, Zhou Qilan was severely poisoned and nearly lost her life.

No one dared to ask Lin Beichen whether these incidents were related, but the analysis clearly pointed to Lin Beichen’s involvement.

Having power for a lifetime isn’t frightening; what’s terrifying is the reckless use of power.

There aren’t many experts at the Death Gate Realm, but the Dragon Country can still find a few hundred of them.

Even limiting it to the south, there are many lineages.

For instance, the Cultivation Lineage, which specializes in hunting ghosts and demons.

This lineage alone has twenty to thirty experts.

However, what is truly frightening is that after Lin Beichen wiped out the Zhang Family, this lineage didn’t respond with a single word.

No matter how great Lin Beichen’s reputation is, he should only be able to influence ordinary people. How could he affect Death Gate level experts?

Take, for example, the Xu Family, which has long occupied the position of the top family in Huadu.

As the greatest expert in Huadu, the Xu Family didn’t say a word during this incident.

Everyone avoided Lin Beichen, but Luo Meixiang was an exception.

"Lin Beichen, are you okay?"

Luo Meixiang hurried to Lin Beichen’s side, visibly relieved.

Being part of the Phoenix Club circle, Luo Meixiang quickly got the news.

She called Lin Beichen, only to find no one answering.

At that moment, Lin Beichen was dealing with the Zhang Family, naturally having no time to respond to calls.

Luo Meixiang had only been in contact with Lin Beichen for a short time, but she knew there was deep conflict between Lin Beichen and the Zhang Family.

As the situation between Bai Yunfei and the Zhang Family escalated, Lin Beichen would definitely not stand by and do nothing.

However, between these two towering figures, Lin Beichen was no more than an ant.

In Luo Meixiang’s eyes, Lin Beichen was just an ordinary person, incapable of standing against either side.

Yet, what she didn’t expect was that after waiting one night, the news she received the next day left her utterly shocked.

The entire Zhang Family was wiped out, not a single member was spared.

The Zhang Family’s demise was merely a small part of the story.

The ensuing upheaval in Huadu was the main event.

In the midst of the Management Association’s chaos, the Zhang Family’s annihilation became a trivial matter.

After all, even if the Zhang Family were completely eradicated, it would only affect them.

But the Management Association genuinely impacts everyone.

"Why are you so reckless? I heard the Zhang Family has gone mad, killing even innocent people for their gains!"

The young girl’s face was full of anxiety, with misty eyes.

"I’m sorry, it’s my fault."

Though Lin Beichen had countless words in his heart, he didn’t know what to say.

He wanted to explain that he was the key person behind the Zhang Family’s extermination.

But when the words reached his lips, Lin Beichen didn’t know how to say them.

In Luo Meixiang’s eyes, he was just a student.

Luo Meixiang’s purity made Lin Beichen unwilling to ruin her Mental Realm.

The four years of university life are the most carefree years in one’s life.

He hoped Luo Meixiang could fully enjoy them without any regrets.

Lin Beichen flipped his hand inside his sleeve, and a crystal-clear jade stone appeared.

The jade, condensed with Withered and Flourishing Spiritual Qi and enhanced by Lin Beichen’s array, was exceptionally transparent, seemingly containing glimmers of sunlight.

As soon as it appeared, Luo Meixiang gasped.

"What is this? It’s so beautiful!"

Luo Meixiang’s eyes sparkled like stars.

Women of all ages love shiny things.

This piece of jade, casually condensed by Lin Beichen, was more magnificent than the finest jewelry.

Seeing Luo Meixiang’s attention captured, Lin Beichen breathed a sigh of relief.

He hurriedly stepped forward to introduce it, deliberately changing the topic to light-hearted matters, finally diverting the young girl’s attention.
