Chapter 1045 - 1021: The Mastermind, Yanjing the Zhang Family (2)
They finally realized that the person in front of them was not someone they could afford to offend. The elders in their family had repeatedly warned them never to cross Ren Feng.
"So, tell me, which hand do you want to get rid of?" Ren Feng said calmly.
"Can we not get rid of either?" Yu Weiyong's legs were trembling.
"Trying to bargain with me?"
Ren Feng unleashed his momentum, and the four of them couldn't stand it at all. They were so frightened that they knelt down on the spot.
"Spare us, spare us," the four of them begged loudly, "Don't cripple us."
Luo Cheng, who was kneeling behind, widened his eyes. He couldn't believe he was looking at Ren Feng, the one who had destroyed the Song Family?
"You don't have a choice in this," Ren Feng said calmly.
"No, don't cripple me. I'll tell you everything." Tian Ping shouted.
Ren Feng's interest was piqued: "Tell me what?"
"Actually, someone instructed us to do all this. Luo Cheng was sent to provoke the Jiang Family, and we were sent to provoke the Xia Family and the Cheng Family. Someone orchestrated this."
At this, Cheng Fei, who was standing in the back, lowered his arms, and Jiang Xiangwen's eyes narrowed.
"Actually, we know that you are one of the established families in Suhang. We wouldn't be so reckless; we were manipulated by someone."
With such a reputation, Ren Feng's deterrent force was too great, frightening them immensely.
"Who was it?" Jiang Xiangwen asked in a low voice.
"Yanjing, the Zhang Family," Sun Zhe said, trembling.
Jiang Xiangwen and Cheng Fei exchanged a look of surprise!
They naturally knew about the Yanjing families coming to Suhang.
A new district signifies new opportunities, and for those families, it means new profits, especially for Yanjing the Zhang Family.
The Zhang Family of Yanjing is considered a middle-tier family in Yanjing, focusing on land; naturally, they were eyeing Suhang and sent people over.
But unfortunately, the three local families in Suhang had already divided up most of the profits, leaving almost nothing, so the Zhang Family from Yanjing naturally couldn't get much meat out of it.
However, the problem lies in the fact that the Zhang Family secretly set their sights on the Xia, Cheng, and Jiang families. If they could bring these three families down, the Zhang Family would gain all the advantages.
The Zhang Family prince, Zhang Shaohu, who was sent over, naturally knew this, so he approached the New Suzhou Five Families, where Luo Cheng and others were from, and painted a rosy picture. The families were swayed, and Luo Cheng and others followed Zhang Shaohu's orders.
Then there were continuous probes by Luo Cheng and others against the Jiang Family. Zhang Shaohu was testing the Jiang Family's limits, strength, and any weaknesses that could be leveraged for a takeover.
"After all, they are from a Yanjing family, their strength surpasses ours by a lot of margins. If we didn't listen, they'd threaten to swallow us first."
"Yes, plus, my dad and uncle both agreed, so I could only follow the Zhang Family's orders."
The group continued to spill everything in front of Ren Feng, revealing all as Jiang Xiangwen and Cheng Fei's faces turned dark with anger.
"A Yanjing family, huh? Think they can just ride over us." Cheng Fei's face was extremely unsightly.
Jiang Xiangwen was also furious. Initially, he thought these people were merely arrogant, but he hadn't realized there was someone pulling strings behind the scenes.
"You handle these people," Ren Feng said.
Jiang Xiangwen waved his hand, ordering people to tie them up immediately.
"Wait a moment," Cheng Fei stopped Jiang Xiangwen and walked over to those few, "Do you know where Zhang Shaohu is now?"
Jiang Xiangwen looked at him, and Cheng Fei smiled, "For him to trample over us like this, if we don't retaliate, won't he look down on us? We, the families in Suhang, aren't in such a miserable state yet."
As he spoke, there was also a glint of coldness in Cheng Fei's eyes.
In such a short time, it seemed no one put them in their eyes anymore.
Jiang Xiangwen nodded, "I'll go with you."
After speaking, he looked at Ren Feng.
"I'll go with you, but what about Xue'xue and the others...?"
"I'll send someone to take them home."
"Alright, then let's go," Cheng Fei directly lifted Sun Zhe and said calmly, "Sorry to trouble you all to lead the way once again."
...
West Lake Club.
It's a very tacky name, but those in the know in the Suhang circle all understand its significance.
Entering through the club entrance, the lights were dazzling, the heat made it feel like summer, the booming dance floor and the constantly flashing lights dazzled as countless scantily dressed women danced inside, showing no shame from men's hands touching them, instead laughing more lustfully.
Because the men who could enter were all influential, wealthy men, and hooking up with one was worthwhile.
The first floor was like a bar, but going further in, to the second floor, the noise was blocked out by doors, replaced by another kind of loud noise.
Looking around, the rooms on the second floor were full of gambling tables where countless men were shouting with red faces and ears.
At the center, at a gambling table sat a man in his mid-twenties, embracing on both sides.
This man was Zhang Shaohu.
"Mr. Zhang, you've got great luck tonight."
A man tugged at his collar, tossed his cards, and said with a bitter smile.
Zhang Shaohu laughed heartily.
"Mr. Zhang, do you think the matter with the three families will work out?" another person asked.
Zhang Shaohu continued to play cards, chuckling, "Don't worry, we just need to check the situation, figure out what these three families are all about, and my Zhang Family will naturally have a way to bring them down. Then, we can all earn money together."
The people around the table were from other Suhang families.
"Mr. Zhang, can you give us some confidence, is there assurance?"
Zhang Shaohu laughed and said, "You need to understand, in Huaxia, there are basically only two places: the first is Yanjing, and the second is places outside of Yanjing. Even though our Zhang Family isn't considered a top family in Yanjing, we're still middle-tier, so how could the three Suhang families be a match for my Zhang Family?
This time, it was just them making the first move. Otherwise, would it still be their business?"
The others were absorbing this as Zhang Shaohu continued, "Once those three families are crushed, Suhang needs to be reshuffled. The old man sending me over is enough to show our stance."
"Indeed, Mr. Zhang, rest assured, we're all following you, if you say one, we'll never say two."
Zhang Shaohu burst out laughing, "Alright, everyone, let's play cards."
But just then, there was a sudden loud bang at the door.
Bam!
The sound drowned out everything on the second floor, forcing everyone to look up and see the door had been kicked open!
They stared in astonishment at the three who walked in nonchalantly.
"Opening a door doesn't have to be this troublesome," Ren Feng commented calmly.
Cheng Fei laughed bitterly inside, thinking about the brutally violent way they opened the door.
Jiang Xiangwen extended his hand, and behind him, the Jiang Family disciples brought Luo Cheng and the others up.
This made Zhang Shaohu, still seated, change his expression.
