1288: Chapter 1289: The Storm Triggered by an Old Case 1288: Chapter 1289: The Storm Triggered by an Old Case King Taishan revealed a barely noticeable smile.

He had thought Zhou Shangren, as the head of a top aristocratic clan, would be difficult to deal with.

Unexpectedly, people can be so mindless when they are angry.

After obtaining Zhou Shangren’s incriminating materials, King Taishan sneered, “I will make good use of these things, heh heh.”

Having said that, he took his people and left.

Next, they had to visit another place.

“Family Head, will they really use those materials?”

Zhou Shangkun asked.

“They definitely will.

They would love for all top aristocratic clans to be finished off.”

Zhou Shangren said, “We had an agreement in the past that the top ten aristocratic clans absolutely should not undermine each other, which means we shouldn’t report on one another.

But since the Bai Family has broken the rule, they can’t blame us.

Anyway, our Zhou Family might really be unable to escape disaster this time.

At the very least, we need to have a cushion to fall back on.

Shangkun, Bin’er, the two of you listen, take your family and leave.

Although most of our accounts have been frozen,

we still have hundreds of millions in cash at home that we can use.

You two flee to a foreign country and live well.”

“Big brother, what about you?”

Zhou Shangkun asked.

“I can’t leave.

If too many people go, it will be noticed, especially me.

If I leave, I will definitely be targeted,”

Zhou Shangren shook his head and said, “Hurry and prepare to leave; if you don’t, it will be too late.

Even if the Bai Family doesn’t kill us, the Huang Family won’t let us off.

Huang En is always the type to cross the river and demolish the bridge.

If he knows we are done for, he will definitely eliminate us to silence the matter.

That’s it, get going now.”

Zhou Shangren waved his hand helplessly – the Zhou Clan was ultimately ruined by him, a truly bitter feeling.

But what could he do?

Under the current circumstances, he was unable to change anything.

There were actually more families more desperate than the Zhou Family.

In just half a day, Yama Hall struck everywhere, sealing off all the dirty money aristocratic clans loyal to the Zhou Family.

From assets to accounts, to social connections, almost everything was reduced to zero.

Xiao Chen was doing this not only to pin a huge blame on the Bai Family but also to take this opportunity to clean up those families and companies in Jijing that had engaged in all sorts of malpractices.

His ultimate goal was to deal with all the families that affected market fairness and engaged in crimes.

Since dealing with them from top to bottom was difficult, he decided to handle them from the bottom up.

In the situation where they were unaware of the danger, he was going to wipe them all out.

And all of this was blamed on the Bai Family.

Suddenly, all the large and small families in Jijing were panicked, as if a terrifying flame was spreading, burning away all sins.

Anyone who had engaged in criminal activities was now scared out of their wits.

They were constantly looking for a way out.

Under the summoning of Zhou Shangren, these families formed a torrent, attempting to launch a furious counterattack against the Bai Family.

But that was not enough.

Everyone was thinking about whether they could use another power to strengthen this force of resistance.

Even if they couldn’t truly take down the Bai Family, they had to make the Bai Family lose a chunk of flesh.

While the outside was in such chaos, Xiao Chen suddenly found himself with spare time.

He sat leisurely in a romantic restaurant with Jiang Meng, enjoying their world for two.

“Cheers!”

Xiao Chen lifted his glass, looking at the beautiful and kind woman in front of him, feeling as though he had grasped the entire world.

“Cheers!”

Jiang Meng’s cheeks were slightly flushed, probably from the intoxication of the red wine, as she gazed at the man before her.

Having this man, she felt as though she possessed everything.

The two of them took a sip of red wine.

Xiao Chen said with a smile, “It’s lucky I spared no effort in finding you back then, otherwise how could we be so happy today.”

Jiang Meng smiled sweetly and leaned against Xiao Chen with eyes like silk: “If I hadn’t blocked that bullet for you when we were young, I’m afraid we might not have had the chance to be together.

Thinking back now, it really feels like a dream.”

“The destiny of a bullet.”

Xiao Chen smiled and held Jiang Meng’s hand: “From now on, we will continue to hold hands and walk the rest of our splendid lives together.

Jijing has now been mostly cleansed.

Wife, your moves also need to keep up.

I can only help you clear the market, whether you can seize the opportunity depends on your efforts.”

“Don’t worry, I have countless talented people under my command, and it’s not just me keeping Xinmeng Group busy.

Now, with Glazed Glass City as the center, the market of Jijing is being gradually eaten away by us.

Of course, we won’t take it all, we will still leave half the market for those small and medium enterprises to develop.

Dragon Country needs Xinmeng Group, but Xinmeng Group is not the sole player.”

Jiang Meng said with confidence.

Ever since the last confrontation with Xifeng Group, Jiang Meng realized that Xinmeng Group is not reliant on any one person, although each individual’s contribution within the group varies.

But only when all work together can this enterprise march towards an even more glorious future.

“That’s good; I don’t want you to overwork yourself.”

Xiao Chen smiled and said: “It’s about to end.

The Bai Family and Zhou Family, among the ten Aristocratic Clans, as well as the Pan Family Garden, one of the eight factions, will all be destroyed in this storm.

Bai’s corporation will become Xinmeng Group’s largest partner in the north.”

What he didn’t mention is that more than half of Bai’s corporation’s shares will be under his control.

…

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Bai Family was extremely tense.

Bai Jingrui, Pan Long, and other senior members of the Bai Family had gathered together.

Neither Bai Jingrui nor Pan Long had expected things to develop to this point.

The Bai Family has now become the public enemy of the entire Jijing.

Even despised by the topmost Aristocratic Clan.

“Patriarch Bai, are you truly not behind this?”

Pan Long looked at Bai Jingrui and asked.

“Boss Long, what can I say to make you believe me?

Even if the Bai Family had such capability, we wouldn’t erupt at this time.

Because our strength is not yet enough to contend with the stronger topmost Aristocratic Clans.

To make ourselves a target now would be suicidal,” lamented Bai Jingrui.

“I’m not afraid of those families led by the Zhou Family, but I really can’t stand being used by others as a tool, and we are helpless.

This feeling of passivity is too uncomfortable.”

“Are you suggesting that someone is using the Bai Family as a scapegoat?”

Pan Long asked.

“Exactly, the current instigations and fueling of the flames are meant to put the Bai Family on the rack, making us a public enemy.

The Zhan Family and Huang Family will likely make their moves next,” Bai Jingrui said.

“Actually, there’s no need to worry too much.”

Pan Long said with a smile: “I guess that the Xiao Family of Jiangnan certainly doesn’t have the capacity to eliminate the Bai Family directly, so they must resort to these tricks.

In this world, all power and benefits still stem from strength.

Now that we are joining hands with you, even the Huang Family is going to be in trouble.”

“But I suspect that this Xiao Family of Jiangnan is related to the Xiao Family of the past.”

Bai Jingrui frowned and said: “Don’t forget, in those days the Xiao Family was at its peak, and even if the ten topmost Aristocratic Clans joined hands, they could not contend with it.”
