"They are pressuring all regions, severing the economic ties between us in Suzhou-Hangzhou and other areas."
"Suzhou-Hangzhou has already begun to show signs of economic recession."
Bai Zihe's sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly.
It seemed.
The Luo family was truly determined to walk down this path until the end.
He desperately wanted to storm the Luo family right now, but the economy and livelihoods of millions in Suzhou-Hangzhou were paramount.
Bai Zihe would settle this score with them sooner or later!
"Take this item and go to the Jiangdong Province branch of the Longchen Chamber of Commerce."
Bai Zihe took out the Dragon Token and placed it in Xue'er's hand.
With the might of the Longchen Chamber of Commerce, destroying the Luo family economically would be like using a cannon to swat a fly—effortless!
"Yes!"
Xue'er took the order and left.
Bai Zihe stood on the balcony, gazing at the night view of Suzhou-Hangzhou, his thoughts drifting.
In a few more days, it would be the day to erect the memorial for his mother.
And also the day of reckoning for the three great families.
After that day, the Bai family would bid farewell to the past and return to the right track.
"Zihe!"
Bai Zhanhong arrived on the balcony at some unknown time. Seeing his thin figure in the night breeze, he asked, "Are you thinking about the matters concerning the great families?"
Although he had not directly participated in these affairs,
He had heard about the Zheng family, the Qin family, the Ling family, and the recent movements of the Luo family.
Connecting these pieces of information, he could guess most of it.
"Yes."
Bai Zihe sighed, "And in a few days, it will be the day to erect the memorial for mother. There will likely be another storm then."
"After the storm comes the rainbow," Bai Zhanhong said, awakening him from his daze.
"Indeed."
Bai Zihe chuckled, "How can one see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?"
He had initially worried that the excessive bloodshed at that time might cause some social unrest in Suzhou-Hangzhou and affect the lives of millions of its citizens. But as his father said,
The likes of the Qin family, Ling family, and Zheng family, who amassed their fortunes by exploiting others, were to be dealt with. Clearing them out would restore clarity and justice to Suzhou-Hangzhou, and there was no need for any hesitation.
"Dad, after erecting mother's memorial, I plan to rebuild the Bai family!"
"This time, our Bai family will ascend step by step, reaching the pinnacle and standing alone at the highest point!"
"Dad, what do you think?"
Bai Zihe's eyes were deep and far-reaching!
Bai Zhanhong patted his shoulder with relief, "A fledgling eagle must eventually soar on its own."
"You go ahead and do as you wish."
"I am old. The future belongs to you young people."
...
The night grew deep.
The Jiangdong Province branch of the Longchen Chamber of Commerce was brightly lit.
Because, a major figure had arrived!
Xue'er's visit, holding the Dragon Token, represented the Grand President of the Longchen Chamber of Commerce and the will of the Old Ancestor. Who would dare to be negligent!
"This old man, Ji Changqing, pays his respects to the Old Ancestor and the esteemed envoy!"
Ji Changqing, an old man, was so excited upon seeing the Dragon Token that he became incoherent, tears streaming down his face, and he actually knelt down.
If outsiders were to witness this scene, their jaws would surely drop.
For he was Ji Changqing, the president of the Jiangdong Province branch of the Longchen Chamber of Commerce, a man of immense power who could cover the sky with one hand!
In his eyes, a prominent provincial family like the Luo family, led by Luo Xuanzhong, was nothing more than a mere trifle, capable of being crushed with a flip of his hand!
All of this was solely because of the Dragon Token in Xue'er's hand!
"President Ji, please rise quickly. The Dragon Token is now managed by the Young Master."
"The Young Master's command."
"Utilize the forces of the Jiangdong Province branch of the Longchen Chamber of Commerce to encircle and annihilate the Luo family in the provincial capital of Jiangdong!"
"Ji Changqing accepts the order!"
Ji Changqing bowed again before rising and asked, "Envoy, where is the Young Master currently located?"
"President Ji wishes to pay a visit."
Xue'er said indifferently, "Suzhou-Hangzhou."
Ji Changqing slightly inclined his body and instructed the high-ranking officials of the chamber of commerce behind him, "Issue the order! Commence the plan to deal with the Luo family in the provincial capital immediately!"
"Furthermore."
"Those at the Vice-President level and above in the provincial branch will accompany me to Suzhou-Hangzhou to visit the Young Master!"
This night.
Under Bai Zihe's Dragon Token, the entire Jiangdong Province was destined to be stirred by wind and clouds.
And Suzhou-Hangzhou...
Was at its very center.
As the special plane of the Jiangdong Province branch of the Longchen Chamber of Commerce took off.
At the Suzhou-Hangzhou airport, a special car slowly drove out. It was the special car of the president of the Suzhou-Hangzhou branch of the Longchen Chamber of Commerce.
Just as the special car was about to enter the highway leading to Suzhou-Hangzhou city.
Two figures suddenly darted out and knelt in front of the car.
They were the father and son, Su Zihao and Su Wenqiang, who had been driven out of their home by Su Weiwei.
The special car stopped precariously in front of the two, just a centimeter away from sending them flying!
"Who are you people?"
"Do you know this is the special car of the president of the Suzhou-Hangzhou branch of the Longchen Chamber of Commerce!"
"Why are you maliciously blocking the road, what do you want!"
The driver immediately shouted.
Su Wenqiang replied, "We are here precisely for the President."
The driver was about to scold him when a voice filled with authority came from inside the special car, "Let him speak."
It was Chen Biqing, the president of the Suzhou-Hangzhou branch of the Longchen Chamber of Commerce!
Su Wenqiang crawled forward on his knees and said, "President, the economic recession in Suzhou-Hangzhou is due to the suppression by the Luo family in the provincial capital."
"And the reason the Luo family is suppressing Suzhou-Hangzhou is because of Bai Zihe!"
"He personally killed the Luo family's young madam, Qin Biluo, and the third-generation male heir, Luo Renfeng, the beloved grandson of the Luo family patriarch, Luo Xuanzhong!"
"All of this is Bai Zihe's fault, and the entire population of Suzhou-Hangzhou should not have to pay the price for him!"
This was Su Wenqiang and Su Zihao's objective.
To use the president of the Longchen Chamber of Commerce to kill Bai Zihe!
As for Su Weiwei, without Bai Zihe's protection, they could easily eliminate her!
"There's such a thing?"
Chen Biqing frowned slightly.
He had been away on a business trip. It was precisely because of the economic recession in Suzhou-Hangzhou that he had returned to investigate. He had unexpectedly received such important news midway.
"President, this matter is absolutely true."
"If you investigate even a little, you will discover the truth!"
Su Wenqiang quickly responded.
Chen Biqing waved his hand, "Alright, I understand."
"If it is as you say, and the economic recession in Suzhou-Hangzhou is solely due to that Bai Zihe, I will personally send someone to take him to the Luo family to beg for forgiveness!"
"I will send someone to apprehend Bai Zihe tomorrow morning!"
