"Old Zheng, Jiangcheng is our foundation. What will happen to the company and our assets if we leave?" Zhu Zhide said with difficulty.

Zhou Mancang also looked pained: "Yes, if we leave, word will inevitably spread, which will have a huge impact on the company, and could even lead to bankruptcy!"

"Heh, which is more important, money or life?" Zheng Hongjun said irritably. "What kind of time is this to be worrying about these things! Old Zhu, Old Zhou, as long as we're alive, we can always fight again. This is a life-or-death feud!"

"Last time, Chen Huo broke both my legs. If the doctor had arrived even a little later, I would have been in a wheelchair for the rest of my life!"

"Think about the consequences if Chen Huo comes knocking on our door this time!"

"In short, I'm already making preparations. I have to make my escape by tonight at the latest!"

"This..." Zhu Zhide and Zhou Mancang looked at each other, both appearing hesitant.

Zhu Zhide spoke up, "Old Zheng, really, it was all your bad idea! If you hadn't egged us on, we wouldn't have gotten involved at all!"

"That's right. If Chen Huo wants to cause trouble, he should be looking for you. We're just accomplices at most, not deserving of death!" Zhou Mancang chimed in.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Hongjun trembled with anger: "If things go wrong, it's all my fault! I was doing this for everyone!"

"What if it works out and we make a fortune? What will you say then?"

"It's like a dog biting Lü Dongbin; they don't appreciate a kind heart..."

The three of them were arguing louder and louder, completely unaware that there was already another person in the living room.

He sat on the sofa, holding his teacup, and took two sips. "Three family heads, what's the matter? We can discuss it properly!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Hongjun and the other two immediately fell silent.

When they saw the wreckage before them, they were all dumbfounded and nearly scared out of their wits.

"Young Master Chen?!"

"Young Master Chen, I'm innocent!" Zhou Mancang was the first to kneel down and beg for mercy. "Hiring people to deal with you was all the Zheng family head's idea, it has nothing to do with us!"

"That's right, we...we were coerced by him, we had no choice but to do it!" Zhu Zhide quickly added. "In reality, we never wanted to be enemies with Young Master Chen!"

Zheng Hongjun almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard this.

That guy's skill at shifting blame is really impressive!

"You're talking nonsense! What do you mean by 'my will'? Did I hold a knife to your throats and force you?"

"You were all trying to profit from this, and now you're turning around and blaming me!"

Zhou Mancang and Zhu Zhide, however, reached an agreement at this moment, insisting: "It was your terrible idea!"

"They deceived us and even threatened us with the power of the earth spirit!"

Zheng Hongjun was furious, his face flushed red as he stammered, "You..."

"Alright, stop arguing, aren't you all annoying?" Chen Huo put down his teacup and interrupted, "I know exactly what you're all up to. Since we're in this business, we're all responsible for our own profits and losses; nobody can escape it!"

"Your arguing is pointless!"

"Now, I need an explanation from you!"

"Young Master Chen!" Zheng Hongjun immediately knelt down. "Young Master Chen, I was foolish before, and with the Earth Immortal pressuring me from behind, I did something stupid! I swear on my whole family that from now on we will follow Young Master Chen's lead and never dare to have any disloyalty again!"

"Yes, yes, from now on, Young Master Chen is our boss, and we'll do whatever he says!"

"Young Master Chen, if you say east, we will never go west..."

Zhou Mancang and Zhu Zhide made statements one after another.

"Is that so?" Chen Huo's lips curled into a smile. "All talk and no action is useless. If you want me to spare your lives, you'd better show me something real!"

"Alright, you can go find Li Qingran yourselves and draft the acquisition contract!"

"Hand over all the assets of your three families as a pledge of loyalty!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Hongjun and the other two felt a chill run down their spines, as if a large knife was about to slice out their hearts.

Previously, they were at least one of the four great families, alongside the Jiang family.

If they were to hand over all their assets and have them acquired, they would cease to exist.

Li Qingran also collaborated extensively with Jiang Aiwei.

It's safe to say that from now on, the business district in Jiangcheng will be dominated by the two of them.

"Young Master Chen, what about us?" Zheng Hongjun asked tremblingly.

"You? Aren't you happy just being alive?" Chen Huo retorted. "Even if you hand over your assets, your cars, houses, and savings are more than enough for your retirement!"

"What, you still don't want to back out? Do you have other ideas?"

Although the words were spoken lightly, they carried an immense sense of intimidation.

Zheng Hongjun and his two companions were ashen-faced and dared not refuse.

The businesses of these three families were built up through generations of hard work, and they were extremely unwilling to hand them over.

But compared to one's own life, it seems less important!

"Young Master Chen, I do!"

"I'll go find General Manager Li Qingran right now!"

"From now on, we'll retire from the business world and enjoy our retirement in peace..."

A bitter look appeared on the faces of all three of them, and they lowered their heads in resignation.

These are the rules.

If you win, you take it all; if you lose, you just have to accept it!

"I'm quite pleased that the three family heads have this awareness. Then it's decided!" Chen Huo stood up. "I'll come to have tea with you when I have time. Farewell!"

When Li Qingran, Yin Yuhan, and Jiang Aiwei, who were working in the company, saw Zheng Hongjun and the other two family heads come to their door in person to discuss the acquisition, they were all stunned.

It feels like a dream, unbelievable!

Li Qingran immediately dialed Chen Huo's number: "Brother Huo, the Zheng family..."

"I know they're willing, so let's do it!" Chen Huo replied.

Only after receiving confirmation did Li Qingran feel reassured. Then, together with Jiang Aiwei and Yin Yuhan, she proceeded with all the necessary procedures for the acquisition and handover.

From beginning to end, Zheng Hongjun and his two companions didn't dare utter a single word, and were extremely respectful, actively assisting in the completion of the task.

With the handover and acquisition of the three major families completed, Li Qingran and her company became famous throughout the Jiangcheng business district overnight.

News outlets and related individuals flooded in, seeking to interview and contact Li Qingran and her colleagues.

Li Qingran and the others were so busy they were practically going crazy; they didn't sleep all night.

Chen Huo, on the other hand, was happy to have some free time and simply washed his hands of the matter, lying at home and sleeping soundly.

The next morning, Murong Bingyun was the first to return.

Upon seeing Chen Huo, after a brief hesitation, he saluted first: "Reporting to the Dragon Chief, last night, the God of War Lieyang and I gave a detailed report to our superiors regarding this incident. Please give us your instructions!"

Chen Huo coughed several times, choking on his words: "War God Murong, is this really necessary?"

Murong Bingyun pursed her lips, remaining silent, but her cold and beautiful eyes were fixed on him.
