Gao Ming nodded and said solemnly, "Father, although the other six families seem to be cooperating with us on the surface, they all have their own ulterior motives. Everyone wants to gain more benefits and even want to squeeze the other families dry of their money. Zhang Feng's arrival might be able to break this situation. If we don't talk about Zhang Feng, who knows if that family will fight with Zhang Feng one day and we can profit from it. Even if Zhang Feng suffers losses, we won't lose out."
Gao Xuan's body trembled. He realized that he had to re-evaluate this son of his. He didn't realize that his son was so scheming before. This time, he was so good at hiding Zhang Feng's whereabouts. If he bumped into the heads of the other six families, then the Gao family would be the fisherman.
Thinking about this, he smiled with satisfaction. "Ming 'er, you're right. We'll do as you say. However, we still need to know Zhang Feng's whereabouts."
Gao Ming nodded and his lips curled into an evil smile. "Father, don't worry. Leave this to me. I'll make sure that Zhang Feng won't be able to escape from the Gao family."
Saying this, he waved his fan and turned to walk towards the front yard.
As soon as he left, he heard a burst of unbridled laughter.
Gao Ming felt that it was ear-piercing and secretly spat. He turned to look at Gao Xuan. "Father, look at Big Brother. He clearly doesn't put you in his eyes. He's too presumptuous."
Gao Xuan didn't answer. Instead, he raised his head and glanced at Gao Ming who was walking away. His eyes flashed with worry.
The reason why he didn't make Gao Ming the successor of the Gao family was because this guy was sometimes too vicious. He didn't leave any leeway when doing things. He was smart enough to be the head of the family, but he was worried that the head of the family would make a move on his brother.
This was the reason why he didn't make a successor for a long time.
At the same time, Zhang Feng also found traces of Jia Daoren. He was in a manor. This manor wasn't very big, but it wasn't small either. It belonged to the middle class and was enough to accommodate everyone.
Now, everyone was sitting in the main hall and discussing what to do next.
Zhang Feng glanced at everyone and then looked at Jia Daoren. "Old Jia, tell me about the current situation in Jiangnan. The more detailed, the better."
Jia Daoren nodded and said, "Jiangnan now has eight major powers …"
The eight major powers?
Zhang Feng frowned slightly.
Didn't he hear about the Seven Great Forces on the street just now?
He asked with a puzzled expression, "Old Merchant, I heard that there are only seven major forces on the streets. Why are you saying that there are eight major forces?"
"Seven great powers?"
Jia Daoren's face was filled with question marks. He turned to look at Zhang Feng and asked, "Master, who did you hear this from?"
Sensing that something was amiss, Zhang Feng hurriedly said, "Previously, I met a rich young master on the street. He said his surname was Gao, and he almost hit Yuyao and Jingshu with his horse …"
Hearing this, Zhang Yuyao and Jingshu couldn't help but shudder.
They were still stuck in the terrifying scene just now.
If it weren't for Prince Zhang's quick reflexes, they might have already been killed.
Of course, Zhang Feng felt the same way. He waved his fist with a look of grief and indignation. "That guy with the surname Gao almost hit Yuyao and Jingshu. If I hadn't been fast enough, I'm afraid they would have …"
Surnamed Gao?
Jia Daoren's expression unconsciously became serious.
There weren't many families with the surname Gao in Jiangnan. There were only three or four families. Only the branch of the Lu family would dare to hit people on the street.
Thinking about this, he hurriedly asked, "Master, did that Gao guy leave his name?"
Zhang Feng tilted his head and thought for a while before saying, "That person seems to be called Gao Jian or something."
As expected.
Jia Daoren had a bad feeling.
The master had just arrived and he was already facing the Gao family. This was an ominous sign.
Although the Gao family was one of the Eight Great Forces in Jiangnan, no one dared to casually challenge them in Jiangnan. This time, the master was facing that second young master. It was likely that things wouldn't end well.
He hurriedly asked, "Master, you didn't hurt the second young master of the Gao family, did you?"
"No, I didn't."
Zhang Feng waved his hand and didn't care so much. However, when he saw Jia Daoren let out a long breath, he asked in confusion, "Old Merchant, what's wrong? Is the Gao family very powerful in Jiangnan? "
Jia Daoren nodded with a serious face. "Master, the Gao family belongs to the branch of the Lu family. At the same time, they are also one of the Eight Great Forces in Jiangnan. They are involved in silk, iron, and other businesses. This time, the rise in prices in Jiangnan is most likely due to this guy …"
Zhang Feng was shocked.
He knew that the Gao family belonged to the branch of the Lu family, but he didn't know that this guy was also involved in silk, iron, and other businesses.
Although he had some guesses, when he heard Jia Daoren say it out loud, he was still shocked.
He hurriedly said, "Old Merchant, you just said that there are Eight Great Forces in Jiangnan. What are the other seven?"
Jia Daoren glanced at the crowd and said with a serious face, "The Eight Great Forces in Jiangnan are the Gao family, which belongs to the branch of the Lu family in Fanyang. The Wu family belongs to the branch of the Zheng family in Xingyang. The Wu family belongs to the branch of the Wang Clan in Taiyuan. The Qi family belongs to the branch of the Cui family in Qinghe. The Fan family belongs to the branch of the Cui family in Boling. The Zhao family belongs to the branch of the Li family in Zhao County. The Dang family belongs to the branch of the Li family in Longxi.
