Tao Ruhu and Tao Tianyi had no other choice but to listen to Tao Yinan's arrangements. They were betting everything on Tao Yinan.
As long as Tao Yinan could successfully avoid this calamity, they would follow her to glory and riches. If Tao Yinan couldn't survive, they would become cannon fodder.
"Miss Tao, do you need me to help you investigate the other party?" Tao Ruhu said, "He dared to come to us. We can't just ignore him like this, right?"
Tao Yinan lowered her head and said, "I think it's best if you don't act rashly. The other party isn't someone to be trifled with."
"But we're not to be trifled with either," Tao Tianyi said. "If the Tao Family tolerates this, I'm afraid the other party will take advantage of us and become even more unscrupulous."
Tao Yinan had also considered this problem, but Xu Yun's words about how a powerful dragon could not suppress a snake in its old haunts kept ringing in her ears.
"Miss Tao, sometimes we have to respond. Otherwise, the other party really won't take our Tao Family seriously," Tao Ruhu said. "At the very least, we can't let him look down on us and think that there's no one in our Tao Family."
"Then what do you want to do?" Tao Yinan asked.
"Of course we're going to show him who's boss," Tao Ruhu said. Tao Tianyi said, "They were the ones who provoked us first, so we must return the favor. Tonight, the two of us will sneak over.
Tao Yinan glanced at Tao Tianyi. "Right now, I only know that the other party is Xu Yun from Sky Entertainment Group. I don't know anything else."
As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles. Tao Yinan was very clear about this simple principle, but they didn't know anything about Xu Yun and had no confidence.
"We don't even know who's behind him," Tao Yinan said. She didn't think it was appropriate to act rashly like this.
"Miss Tao, if we don't take the initiative to investigate this matter, then we'll never be able to figure out how many things we don't know," Tao Ruhu said. "The other party won't take the initiative to tell us about his situation."
That being said, there was still a risk.
What Tao Yinan was worried about was that if something happened to the two of them on Guqin Island, she would be all alone and helpless.
"What's the situation? We'll try our best to arrange for people to find out. You guys shouldn't take the risk," Tao Yinan said. "After all, we don't have the chance to rashly make mistakes now."
The two of them roughly understood the real reason behind Tao Yinan's worries, so they didn't force it.
"I need you to help me contact Uncle Da of the Seven Star Radiance Council. We need him to help us contact the people in charge of the other families in Hua Xia." Tao Yinan said, "If we want to protect ourselves, we have to drag the other families down with us."
Tao Ruhu nodded. "Then I'll go to Shen Jiang to look for Uncle Da immediately."
"Yes, we have to force him to do it face to face. Otherwise, he will definitely find a reason to refuse." Tao Yinan said, "This old fox knows this very well."
Tao Ruhu didn't plan to sleep anymore. This matter had to be settled.
Tao Ruhu said to Tao Tianyi, "Stay behind and protect Miss Tao. Leave those matters to me."
Tao Tianyi nodded. "Then be careful on the road."
He had been driving for the second half of the journey back from Yanjing. Tao Ruhu had more or less gotten some time to rest. It was indeed more appropriate for him to be on the road now.
There was no time to lose. Tao Ruhu didn't have time to waste.
After he was on the road, Tao Yinan said to Tao Tianyi, "Right now, you have to completely stop tracking and investigating Jiang Zixue. Find a way to find those people who helped you in this matter and send them away."
"Understood." Tao Tianyi said.
"I don't want these people to appear in front of me again." Tao Yinan said.
Tao Tianyi narrowed his eyes. "Then I'll just directly …"
"No." Tao Yinan said, "Right now, what we need to do on Qingdao is to keep a low profile. We can't cause too much of a commotion. If we get into trouble because of this, then the gains won't make up for the losses."
"I understand." Tao Tianyi said, "I won't cause too much of a commotion, and I won't let those people appear in front of you again."
Tao Yinan nodded. "Everything will wait until the people from the other families meet up before we make new arrangements. If there's a need … we can even directly invite Xu Yun over. "
Looking at Tao Yinan's expression, it seemed like she already had her own ideas. Tao Tianyi was very pleased with this.
…
After Tao Ruhu left Tao Yinan's room, he was targeted by Jie Xu. Because this guy left in a hurry, Jie Xu didn't have time to report to Xu Yun.
It was only when Jie Xu drove the guy onto the highway and drove directly in the direction of Shenjiang that he realized this guy was going on a "long trip"!
He had no choice but to quickly inform Xu Yun of this news.
Xu Yun wasn't too surprised when he received Jie Xu's notice. Now that Tao Yinan was arranging for someone to call for reinforcements, she would definitely make a big move.
"Is there any place where the seven great families gather in Shen Jiang?" Xu Yun hung up the phone and quickly rushed over to meet Jin Hong.
Jin Hong thought for a moment. "If it's Shenjiang, then it can only be the seven big families' board of directors. Every year, the seven big families will meet in Shenjiang for a meeting, and the board of directors is the intermediary between the seven big families."
"Intermediary?" Xu Yun didn't understand.
"The seven big families seem to have close ties with each other, but that's not the case," Jin Hong said. "The seven big families don't usually have much contact with each other. If there's anything urgent that needs to be contacted, they will go to the board of directors and ask the intermediary, Uncle Da, to help them inform them of the time and place of the meeting."
Xu Yun nodded and understood. "It seems like Tao Yinan is moving faster than I thought."
"You mean she's already prepared to seek help from the other families?" Jin Hong was stunned. "Then won't we be in trouble?"
"That's the result we want." Xu Yun: "It seems like danger is everywhere, but it's actually much safer. The more families are involved in this matter, the safer Jiang Zixue will be."
Jin Hong still looked worried, and she really couldn't help but worry about him.
"Don't worry. Everyone wants someone else to take the blame. So, the more people there are, the less likely it is that someone will step forward to do it." Xu Yun said, "There will also be more suspicion between each other."
Jin Hong nodded. "I hope so."
"You really have to be careful these few days." Xu Yun: "You must not let Tao Yinan know of your existence. Otherwise, she might change her mind."
Jin Hong nodded. "Don't worry, I'll take care of myself."
"I believe you have the ability and strength." Xu Yun: "Maybe Tao Yinan's people will investigate me today. You don't have to worry about this. I'm prepared."
Jin Hong knew that Xu Yun had already planned a strategy, so he let go of the worry in his heart.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Xu Yun promised Jin Hong. "I'll make the whole thing more interesting."
Now, Xu Yun had gradually cleared the clouds and saw the sun. He had begun to see the development of the whole thing clearly.
Now, what Xu Yun needed was time to play this big game of chess. Whether it was the people of the Tao Family or the other five families, they were all chess pieces in Xu Yun's eyes.
If Xu Yun could play this game beautifully, he might really be able to destroy the six families without any effort.
Although the Jiang Family didn't have a close relationship with Xu Yun, Zuo Lengyue said that he owed the Jiang Family a favor. He, Jin Hong and Jiang Zixue were also friends. So, whether it was out of kindness or friendship, he had to help the Jiang Family teach these ungrateful guys a lesson.
