1287: Chapter 1288: The Bai Family Patriarch’s Intense Unease 1287: Chapter 1288: The Bai Family Patriarch’s Intense Unease Dawn had just broken, and news from the Jianghu Teahouse was already out.

The entire Jijing and even the Capital Prefecture were shaken.

Who would have thought that the Bai Family would dare to make such a move.

They went ahead and took direct action.

And once they struck, it was the Wrath of Thunder.

They destroyed ten dark gold Aristocratic Clans and even played Zhou Shangren like a fool, slaughtering five of the Zhou Family’s ninth-rank Great Grandmasters.

Many who collaborated with the Zhou Family, intending to crush Xinmeng Group and then take a share of the spoils, were panicked at this point.

They all felt that the Bai Family was just too domineering, too ferocious.

While frightened, they were also enraged.

It wasn’t just them—other major Aristocratic Clans like the Zhan Family and the Huang Family also issued public condemnations.

At this moment, what else should one do if not kick an enemy while they’re down?

Meanwhile, Bai Jingrui was so angry that he smashed his own phone.

He had verified the news from the Jianghu Teahouse himself; it was indeed true.

Someone had even taken photos and videos of Bai Duo’er.

“Damn it, damn it, damn it, Bai Duo’er actually dared to betray the Bai Family, that bitch, why doesn’t she just die!”

Bai Jingrui now truly regretted it—if he hadn’t acquiesced to Bai Piao’s attempt to kill Bai Duo’er back then, perhaps it wouldn’t have resulted in this situation.

But it was all too late now.

Only he and Bai Piao knew that Bai Duo’er’s heart was no longer with them.

None of the others knew.

Outsiders were all aware that Bai Duo’er was the President of the Bai Group, and she had even been the target of assassination because of it.

The despicable Huang and Zhan Families actually gloated over the misfortune at this time and issued what, condemnations?

Death, death, death!

This was an outrage incurred by the masses.

They were not afraid of those dark gold Aristocratic Clans, nor of the Zhou Family, but if the Huang Family or the Zhan Family took the opportunity to hit them while they were down, what would happen to the Bai Family was all too clear.

It was bad enough to kick them while they’re down, but if someone raised the banner of opposition against the Bai Family, it’s certain that both the Huang and Zhan Families would take action.

The ten major Aristocratic Clans appeared united, but in reality, each eagerly awaited the others’ misfortunes.

The fewer top-tier Aristocratic Clans, the better; that way, power and wealth would be even more concentrated.

“Quick, go find Boss Long of the Pan Family Garden!”

Bai Jingrui felt as if everything was out of control.

He could no longer manage the current situation.

He had never imagined that the modest Xinmeng Group, the small Xiao Family from Jiangnan, could push him to this extent.

What seemed like trivial tricks had step by step dragged his Bai Family into the Abyss.

“Family Head, someone is here to see you, saying they are willing to transfer their properties to the Bai Family at a low price.”

“Family Head, a group of Jianghu people want to serve the Bai Family and dominate Dragon Country.”

“Family Head, the Bai Group’s stock has hit the daily limit, everything is in the green.”

If it had been before, Bai Jingrui would have been very happy to hear such news.

But today, he cannot bring himself to be happy.

Because none of these matters were under his control, and if they slipped out of control, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Simply uncontrollable.

“Tell them to scram!”

Bai Jingrui roared.

He was in a very bad mood now, and something must be done; someone had pushed them to become the easy targets.

They had to protect themselves.

It was already too late to hide in the woods; either eliminate the one forcing them to stick their necks out or the one aiming at them.

In any case, something had to be done.

And the plan he and Pan Long had been brewing for a long time should also begin.

Meanwhile, Xiao Chen was not idle either.

In the evening, they struck a blow to the other family clans in the name of the Bai Family.

But that was not enough.

They had to take this opportunity to completely eradicate their sins.

So, Yama Hall took action.

King Taishan personally led the team to the Zhou Family.

Zhou Shangren was sitting in the living room, talking on the phone with the Huang Family.

To save the Zhou Family, they must have the Huang Family’s help.

Otherwise, there was no hope.

The eight strongest experts in the family had five dead overnight.

Strength severely compromised.

If the Bai Family wanted to exterminate them at this point, it would be all too easy.

The Zhou Family was no longer qualified to be called a top aristocratic clan, and he was well aware of it.

“Family Head, something’s wrong, someone is coming.”

Outside, the butler ran in with a pale face and exclaimed.

“Who?”

What Zhou Shangren feared the most now was having visitors.

Anyone coming to the Zhou Family at this time was definitely not there to lend a helping hand, but rather to add insult to injury or to rub salt in their wounds.

“Yama Hall, King Taishan!”

The butler said with a wry smile.

No sooner had his words fallen than a group of people had already entered the hall.

King Taishan sat down and said, “Zhou Family Head, you seem very reluctant to comply with me, which is no surprise, as probably no one in this world welcomes members of Yama Hall.”

“King Taishan, please speak your mind if there’s anything you want to say.”

Zhou Shangren had suffered enough blows, so he felt he had become quite resistant.

Now, he believed he could withstand even the worst news.

“Give it to him!”

King Taishan waved his hand, and someone immediately brought out some backup materials and handed them to Zhou Shangren.

They included documents, photographs, and videos.

“The recent investigation report on Zhou Group has been released, and we have seized conclusive evidence, so the formal punishment has also been issued.

I hope you can withstand it.”

King Taishan said indifferently.

Zhou Shangren clenched his teeth and abruptly stood up: “Who exactly sent you?

The Bai Family?

I can’t believe that the Bai Family actually has a connection with Yama Hall.”

“It has nothing to do with the Bai Family.

Your Zhou Family has been too careless, with so much evidence uncovered; there’s nothing I can do.

Therefore, all of Zhou Family’s assets will be immediately seized, and the funds will also be completely frozen.

Related individuals of the Zhou Family are not allowed to leave Capital City.

If there’s an issue, I will come again.”

King Taishan stood up and said, “That’s enough, I won’t bother you asking for help anymore.

I hope the Huang Family will help you, though I doubt it.

Huang En is a stingy and ungracious person; he won’t help anyone that easily.

Especially now, helping your Zhou Family is just asking for trouble.”

Zhou Shangren’s complexion turned increasingly ugly: “Does the Bai Family really want to leave no stone unturned?

Such oppression is too much; even a cornered rabbit will bite.”

“Haha, Zhou Shangren, do you not know yourself what you have done?

I’m too lazy to even speak of the crimes and corruption you’ve engaged in.

The sins you’ve committed are countless.

How many innocent people have mysteriously disappeared or been killed because of your so-called market expansion efforts?

Their parents are crying, their wives are mourning, and their children are suffering.

What grievances do you have?”

King Taishan said coldly: “Even without the Bai Family’s reporting, I would have dealt with you eventually.

Did you really think being a top aristocratic clan meant you could do whatever you wanted?”

“Damned Bai Family, if you want me to be unlucky, even if I, Zhou Shangren, have to die, I won’t go down alone without taking the Bai Family down with me.

If need be, we’ll both perish together.”

Zhou Shangren looked towards King Taishan and said, “I want to make a report too, against the Bai Family, against the Bai Group!”
