In the Chu family, Chu Shanhe, the master of the Chu family, looked at the crowd in front of him with a solemn expression. Just now, the Chu family had also learned that Qin Zongheng had returned to the capital and broken through the bottleneck of the Saint Realm.
At this time, his heart was extremely complicated and he even felt a trace of regret.
Although the Chu family had always been at odds with the Qin family, if he had not tried his best to stop them at the beginning and had facilitated the marriage between Chu Xuanyue and Qin Zongheng, would they have been able to use this marriage to ease the hatred between them? Instead of being in an awkward situation like now, they would not be in such a dilemma.
"Master, Qin Zongheng has now entered the Saint Realm. Will he come to take revenge on our Chu family?"
The one who spoke was another old man, his younger brother, Chu Shanchuan.
Chu Shanchuan's words made everyone fall into silence. If Qin Zongheng really came to kill them, how could the Chu family resist the anger of a Saint?
A middle-aged man in his forties said, "Father, why don't we take Xuanyue back? No matter what, she is still a member of our Chu family. As long as she is here, Qin Zongheng will not go too far."
This man was Chu Xuanyue's brother, Chu Xuanli. He had loved his sister very much since she was a child. Over the years, he had tried to persuade Chu Shanhe many times to take Chu Xuanyue back to the Chu family, but Chu Shanhe had firmly refused.
"Don't panic. Don't panic."
After all, Chu Shanhe was the master of the family, so he was much calmer than the others. He said, "Qin Zongheng will not come to our Chu family yet."
Chu Shanchuan asked in surprise, "Big brother, how can you be so sure?"
Chu Shanhe sighed and said, "Qin Zongheng is now a Saint. If he wanted to take revenge on our Chu family, he would have come a long time ago. Why did he wait until he killed Han Zaixing?"
Everyone suddenly realized that it was true. If Qin Zongheng wanted to take revenge on the Chu family, he would have come a long time ago. There was no need to let the Chu family know that he was back.
Chu Shanhe added, "As for the Haodong Group, the Chu family should not have any conflict with them. Otherwise, they will be punished according to the family rules."
Compared to the Qin family, the Chu family, the Han family, and the Yan family, several other aristocratic families also held family meetings.
However, Qin Zongheng did not have any grudges with these families. Relatively speaking, this news did not affect them that much. They only issued an order to strictly forbid anyone from provoking the Haodong Group. Everything else was waiting to see what would happen.
Qin Haodong did not know that his impersonation had caused such a big sensation among the Seven Great Families in the capital. After accompanying Chu Xuanyue for another day, in order not to expose his identity, he returned to Shanghai with Ye Qing again.
During the time he was away, it was not only the Seven Great Families in the Capital that were shocked. The Zheng Family in Shanghai was not calm either.
In one of the Zheng family's study rooms, Zheng Hongliang stood with his hands by his side. Opposite him sat an old man with white hair and a beard. He was the patriarch of the Zheng family, Zheng Yuan.
Zheng Yuan glanced at Zheng Hongliang and said, "You went to the summit held by the Haodong Group on behalf of the Zheng family. Before you went, you made a solemn promise, but in the end, you didn't get anything. You didn't bring back a decent list for the Zheng family. Don't you want to give me an explanation?"
Hearing Zheng Yuan's question, Zheng Hongliang's expression tightened and he said, "Grandpa, I admit that I didn't get any benefits for our Zheng family this time, but there is a reason for this. It's all because of Qin Haodong who ruined our plan."
Zheng Yuan said discontentedly, "It's all because you and Hongda provoked him. Otherwise, why would he be hostile to the Zheng family?"
"Grandpa is really not like what you think. Now I understand that even if Hongda and I didn't provoke Qin Haodong, he would have done something to our Zheng family sooner or later. On the contrary, this exposed his plan in advance so that we could be prepared."
Zheng Yuan looked at him with burning eyes and said, "Are you making excuses for yourself?"
Speaking of this, Zheng Hongliang relaxed a lot and said, "Grandpa, this is really not an excuse. I have my reasons."
"First of all, before Qin Haodong came to Shanghai, our three families were evenly matched. No one could do anything to the other. We were in a state of tacit balance."
"But after he came here, he immediately got into a good relationship with Zhou Xinzhu, which broke the balance of power between our three families."
"Now the Sun family has been beaten like a turtle, shrinking its neck and not daring to come out. Who do you think will be his next target?" "It must be our Zheng family."
"Even if Qin Haodong doesn't want to do anything to our Zheng family, the Zhou family will drag his Daddy Security Company into the water. After all, it would be a waste not to use such a good fighter."
Zheng Yuan closed his eyes slightly and didn't say anything. He quietly waited for him to continue.
Zheng Hongliang knew that the old man had listened to his words. He couldn't help but feel refreshed and continued, "Moreover, Qin Haodong has a reason to attack our Zheng family."
Zheng Yuan slightly opened his eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"
Zheng Hongliang said, "I have found out Qin Haodong's background in the past few days. When he was in Jiangnan, he had several businesses. One of them was the Daddy Security Company, which entered the capital in advance."
"The other one is the Lin Group, which mainly focuses on the jewelry industry. Now it has also entered the capital and is doing very well, pressuring the Xue's Jewelry Company."
"But his most important business is the Tangmen Traditional Chinese Medicine Company. Now that those two businesses have entered the capital, it is impossible to ignore the pharmaceutical industry in Jiangnan."
"The main pharmaceutical industry in Shanghai is all in the hands of our Zheng family, especially the Chinese medicine wholesale market and planting base. Qin Haodong is determined to get them, so after he gains a firm foothold, he will definitely attack our Zheng family."
At this time, Zheng Yuan's expression had changed. His eyes were wide open and shining. He said with a murderous look, "If he wants to destroy our Zheng family, he must have the ability."
Zheng Hongliang said, "Grandpa, don't underestimate Qin Haodong. He has many masters in the Daddy Security Company. Otherwise, he wouldn't have beaten the Sun family until they couldn't raise their heads."
"Originally, it was not enough for our families to fight by force, but now they are very close to the Zhou family. After the two families united, their strength has already surpassed our Zheng family. Moreover, he is now colluding with Ye Qing of the Haodong Group."
"This kind of strength is enough to pose a threat to our Zheng family. We must deal with it carefully, or it will be easy to be eaten by them."
These words really hit the nail on the head. He suddenly stood up from the armchair and said angrily, "I didn't expect that a bumpkin from Jiangnan would be such a big threat to our Zheng family."
Zheng Hongliang was delighted. Since his grandfather had been persuaded, he would not be punished this time.
He said, "Grandpa, we can't just sit here and wait for death. Otherwise, it will be too late when Qin Haodong attacks us."
Zheng Yuan glanced at him and said, "What good idea do you have? Tell me."
Zheng Hongliang said, "The best way to deal with Qin Haodong is, of course, to take the initiative to attack him and get rid of this threat before he makes a move."
"Your idea is good, but the force of the Daddy Security Company is so strong. They have several supreme power masters. I'm afraid it won't be easy. Otherwise, Sun Shengtian, that old fox, would not be a coward."
"The strength of our Zheng family is equal to that of the Sun family. If we fight head-on, we will definitely not be able to do anything to Qin Haodong. On the contrary, it will bring disaster to our Zheng family."
Zheng Hongliang said, "If we fight head-on, it will definitely not work, so we have to take him by surprise and use a strategy."
As he spoke, he whispered his plan into Zheng Yuan's ear.
Finally, he said, "Grandpa, I don't believe that we can't kill Qin Haodong. Even if he is a supreme power master, so what? As long as you give me enough authority to mobilize the people of the Zheng family, I will definitely be able to kill that guy. "
Zheng Yuan thought over Zheng Hongliang's plan from beginning to end several times and felt that it was almost perfect without any loopholes. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are indeed my most valued grandson. Just do as you say. Take my family head's order, and the Zheng family's people will be at your disposal."
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Zheng Hongliang was overjoyed. As long as he did this well, the position of the family master in the future was needless to say.
What was this called? This was called a blessing in disguise. Qin Haodong was a stepping stone for him to set foot on the throne of the family master.
It was already noon when Qin Haodong and Ye Qing returned to Shanghai. He sent Ye Qing back to the branch of the Haodong Group and returned home.
Because it was the weekend, many girls stayed at home and did not go out.
Seeing Qin Haodong come back, Li Meiyu and the other girls immediately surrounded him and expressed their dissatisfaction with his sudden departure. In the end, Qin Haodong made a sumptuous lunch as an apology, which finally stopped them from talking.
After the meal, Jia Shihan called Qin Haodong aside and said, "Little brother, Sister Shanshan has been looking for you these days, but she can't get through to you."
Qin Haodong thought for a moment. When Ouyang Shanshan called him, he should have been rolling to the top of Shenbao Mountain with Yan Feifei, so there was no signal on his mobile phone.
He asked, "Why is she looking for me?"
Jia Shihan said, "Sister Shanshan is leaving tomorrow. She wants to have a meal with you before she leaves."
"Oh!" Of course, Qin Haodong knew Ouyang Shanshan's feelings for him. However, he had already drunk a few spoonfuls of water. He didn't want to drink too much, so he could only pretend that he didn't know.
However, for such a girl, it was still okay to have a meal.
He called Ouyang Shanshan. After the phone was connected, he heard Ouyang Shanshan say excitedly, "Haodong, you're back. I heard from Shihan that you went to the capital."
"Yes, I went to the capital and just came back at noon today." Qin Haodong said, "I heard that you're leaving tomorrow. I'll see you off tonight. You can order whatever you want to eat."
"That's great." Ouyang Shanshan said happily, "I know a western restaurant with a very good environment. I'll send you the address later."
After a pause, she said in a low voice, "Just the two of us, okay?"
