She regretted divorcing the female CEO.

Rong Xiuzhu chuckled, "You'd better stop pretending in front of me."

"You little brat are a tiger, and you're at least a cheetah. Your business is none of my concern. You expect me to put in a good word for you?"

"Do you think that even if I said it, that brat would listen to me?" Rong Xiuzhu pouted.

It's unbelievable that the once-powerful Third Master Rong's status in this family has been declining again and again.

If this continues, that little bastard's dog will eventually surpass his status.

Mu Nancen chuckled, "Aren't you an elder?"

"Come on, save that for fooling the old man! He might not even care." Rong Xiuzhu curled his lip.

The old man might meddle a little in other people's business, but when it comes to that scoundrel, he'd probably stay as far away as possible.

Mu Nancen looked slightly melancholy and sighed softly.

"Alright, I have to go do my own thing now. You just stay here." Rong Xiuzhu waved his hand and turned to leave.

I don't want to spend any more time with Mu Nancen.

This woman is truly ruthless!

Thank goodness they're family.

Mu Nancen watched Rong Xiuzhu's departing figure and smiled, wondering what Si Yang would think if he found out.

He'll probably be furious and yell at her!

Sometimes, Mu Nancen found Si Yang's exasperated state quite amusing.

Let her scold me! Isn't it normal for her own husband to say a few words of abuse?

Daxia, Zhonghai.

Hei Zi approached Si Yang with a grin, "Tsk tsk, sister-in-law, you truly are a woman who doesn't yield to men!"

"That's impressive." Hei Zi smiled at Si Yang!

"Get lost!" Si Yang said irritably upon hearing this.

This guy is always stirring up trouble.

"Hehe." Hei Zi grinned, took a cigarette from Si Yang's cigarette case, and lit it.

"In my opinion, they haven't caused enough trouble. Those guys are all the same, not a single one of them is any good. Haven't they caused enough trouble over the years?"

"Brother, how about we secretly send a team to give him a boost?" Hei Zi chuckled.

"Get lost!" Si Yang glared at Hei Zi with annoyance.

"It's fine normally, but not now," Si Yang said softly after a moment's thought.

"In the past, it was perfectly acceptable to do so, but now, if we were to actually take action, we would inevitably be accused of favoritism and abusing public resources for private gain."

"Who can bear this sin?" Si Yang rolled his eyes.

Others may have this idea, but Si Yang absolutely cannot have it, much less bring it up.

"This woman! I knew she wouldn't stay still." Si Yang lit a cigarette and smiled helplessly.

He knew Mu Nancen's ambition and ruthlessness, but he never expected it to escalate to such a huge extent this time.

"Brother, others can't go, but I say you should go," Hei Zi said in a low voice.

"Having suffered such a huge loss, I'm afraid some people might resort to special means."

"After all, the one thing they have in abundance is money."

"What if something happens to your sister-in-law without anyone protecting her?" Hei Zi said in a low voice.

Actually, at this time, it would be most appropriate for Si Yang to go.

With Si Yang around, who can assassinate Mu Nancen?

"You're overthinking it." Si Yang rolled his eyes at Hei Zi.

"Do you really think those assassins and mercenaries are stupid?" Si Yang curled his lips. Mu Nancen would be unprepared; even the old man would probably have been on guard against this move.

The Chaozhou gang! They don't even have the guts to resort to desperate measures.

"Money can be tempting! What if they put a bounty on the dark web?" Kuroko said softly.

The one thing the Chaozhou gang has in abundance is money.

"Heh, the dark web?" Si Yang glanced at Hei Zi. "Where do you think the dark web came from?"

"Let me tell you! The dark web is controlled by several powerful families, and the Rong family happens to be one of them."

"The power of those powerful families will not be allowed to be infiltrated by outsiders. They may fight among themselves, but if others want a share, they will only face death."

"The Chaozhou gang is nothing more than a bunch of nouveau riche."

"They are rich and powerful, but it's all superficial. Those powerful families won't allow them to challenge authority."

"The hidden resources of this world are something they can never access," Si Yang said, looking at Hei Zi with a mocking tone.

"Holy crap, this world is fucking dark." Kuroko exclaimed in surprise.

Si Yang smiled. "Class has always existed."

"It's just that Great Xia is gradually changing."

"Some people are never satisfied. Look at the chaos outside, look at the war outside."

"When you can't control others, just control yourself."

"In fact, over the years, external forces have never stopped infiltrating Great Xia."

"Any small thing will be blown out of proportion, just to stir up the emotions of an idiot."

"Is there injustice? Of course there is, but with so many people, is it surprising that a few bad apples appear?"

"People should be content with simply living a good life."

"Ultimately, dissatisfaction stems from demands. When life is satisfied, people yearn for more. In the end, it's nothing more than wanting to become a beneficiary of the system."

"You've been out there, seen what kind of lives people live. Some things are only true when you see them with your own eyes."

"In recent years, the Great Xia has done most to eliminate the existence of some powerful families and remove their influence."

"History is the best teacher; just look at the great families throughout history."

"So, none of these big families in the world are clean." Si Yang curled his lip, with a hint of disdain.

The Chaozhou gang had no chance of winning from the very beginning.

Of course, Si Yang didn't see the game in all of this very clearly either.

It's unclear whether Mu Nancen was forcing them or if they wanted to take a step further and get a share of the hidden resources.

Or rather, the two sides hit it off immediately.

This kind of thing is hard to explain, and Si Yang didn't want to get involved.

In his opinion, it wasn't a big deal.

It's just a minor skirmish.

"Do you know what those big families fear most?" Si Yang asked Hei Zi with a smile.

"What are you afraid of?" Kuroko asked curiously!

"Afraid of someone like me?" Si Yang laughed. It wasn't boasting or smugness, but rather a statement of fact.

On the contrary, the least fearful are challengers to the established order like the Chaozhou Gang, because they were destined to fail from the very beginning.

Money can make you a superior person, but it will never make you one of the creators of order.

The Chaozhou gang was too hasty; their foundation wasn't strong enough.

As for Si Yang, he's very simple and direct.

There's only one word: Kill!

Some problems are unsolvable, so solve the problem of who raised it.

Once and for all.

"Alright! I was just too naive," Kuroko sighed.

Si Yang smiled. There are some things that Hei Zi cannot access.

Apart from the Great Xia, Si Yang was completely unguarded against by anyone, including the Rong family's secrets.

He knows almost everything he wants to know.

"Alright, go check on those brats!" Si Yang stubbed out his cigarette.

As for Mu Nancen's safety, he was never worried.

Killing Mu Nancen is too difficult; the Chaozhou Gang definitely doesn't have that ability.

Of course, things might not be the same when it comes to the finale.

Mu Nancen wanted to become the one who set the order, not just because of the Rong family, but because she wanted to do it herself.

Therefore, they will inevitably have to face the test.

Those powerful families will not agree to using Southeast Asia as a springboard to reshape the order.

Si Yang knew that Mu Nancen had great ambitions, but he didn't expect her to be in such a hurry.

"He's always been a troublemaker."

What's even more troublesome is that the women in the family have also been bewitched and are single-mindedly eager to get involved.

Si Yang didn't ask any questions, but that doesn't mean there's anything that can be hidden from him.

At home, the old man sat on the sofa, with Ye Qingyan, Liu Mingyi, Li Chuning, Ye Mengwan, Hua Yunyan, and Wu Qian all present.

Ye Qingyan brewed a pot of tea for the old man.

"It's rare to see you smile, especially since your granddaughter-in-law has accomplished something so great," Ye Qingyan said with a smile.

The old man pointed at Ye Qingyan, "You silly girl."

"I'm not happy for Nan Cen, but I'm happy to see you all happy," the old man said with a smile.

"Qingyan, do you know the difference between a family and a powerful clan?" the old man asked with a smile.

Ye Qingyan frowned, looking puzzled.

"A family is a large family. When someone takes the lead and achieves success, the whole family works together and revolves around each other."

"They don't have much ability to withstand risks. A single crisis or a wrong decision could be enough to bankrupt them."

"That's what family is all about, including the so-called rich."

Ye Qingyan nodded gently, "That makes sense."

Let alone business families, even a single wrong decision or a failed alliance could lead to their downfall.

"What are aristocratic families? Aristocratic families are actually a malignant tumor, a malignant tumor in the world."

"Their purpose is to set rules and establish order."

"Crisis? There is no crisis."

"They might even have started the crisis."

"Throughout history, unless there are major changes, aristocratic families will not be shaken."

"Is that right?" the old man asked.

Ye Qingyan nodded slightly; this seemed to be a fact.

"Nan Cen has now taken this step."

"If she wins this battle against the Chaozhou gang, she will further control Southeast Asia and become the de facto ruler."

"Don't doubt it. As long as you have money and the means, you can do it. The only thing in this world that can't do it is the Great Xia." The old man chuckled.

While it may have been a bit arrogant, it's undeniable that the old man was stating a fact.

"At that time, she will establish order in Southeast Asia."

"Those resources will all be under her control. She can give them to whomever she wants, just like someone sitting high on a cloud, looking down on all living beings."

"We have basically secured most of the benefits from the Russian side."

"You should establish another Pingchao Club, control a portion of commercial resources, and with sufficient scale, the triangular order will be successfully completed."

"At that time, she was the rule-maker, and the so-called crisis no longer existed."

"This is the prototype of a powerful family." The old man took a sip of tea and said earnestly.

Ye Qingyan is indeed intelligent, but her vision and perspective are limited.

She clearly didn't see that much.

Elders will not keep secrets from younger generations.

Si Yang wouldn't say such things, so these words have to be said by him, the grandfather.

Perhaps they themselves are not even aware of what they are doing.

Several women stared blankly at the old man; it was a shock to them.

It can even be a complete overhaul of one's worldview.

"This is the aristocratic family, the biggest cancer in the world!" the old man laughed.

Perhaps this is how many people see it.

They control most of the world's resources.

Therefore, the economic crisis is irrelevant to them.

The people are suffering, but that has nothing to do with them.

Because they control resources and power, and can even influence many decisions.

Heavenly Palace?

What is the true Heavenly Palace?

What ordinary people see as extravagance and wealth is nothing more than a joke to them.

"This is too shocking." Ye Mengwan's delicate body trembled slightly.

She was born into an ordinary family. Although she had some assets, she never thought about it or even dreamed of it.

Ultimately, even dreams need material, right?

You can't even imagine things you've never seen or touched.

"Of course, this is just the beginning. There's still a lot more to come for her," the old man said softly.

Then, he wearily rubbed his temples, wondering if he would see this scene as he lay dying.

"You don't need to think too much, just do your own thing," the old man said softly.

"Mm!" Ye Qingyan nodded gently.

"Money may become worthless, but resources will not," the old man smiled.

Of course, these are unattainable for many people, even for 99 percent of the world's population.

They don't even have the right to know about it.

True masters don't flaunt their abilities in public.

When everything settled down, they lay prostrate in the water like giants.

The old man smiled as he looked at the girls.

Perhaps they need some time to process these things.

As a family, we should all know what Mu Nancen is doing.

She wasn't causing trouble, much less acting against the tide of history.

Instead, they want to forge a long-term, even perpetual, path.

Who would have thought that such a huge ambition was hidden in that seemingly delicate and weak body?

After the old man got up and left, the women exchanged glances.

Excitement, anticipation, worry, fear—a whole range of emotions were present.

"Yunyan, didn't you notice either?" Ye Qingyan couldn't help but ask!

"What do you see? The Hua family isn't even qualified, okay?" Hua Yunyan pouted.

The Hua family and the Rong family are not even in the same league.

Even the Su family of Yuhang was no exception.

The real giant crocodiles have already gone underwater.

They have even left the Great Xia, and the Great Xia will not allow such a family to exist.

In this respect, one has to admire the old man's foresight.

"Okay!" Ye Qingyan nodded.

"It seems we need to work harder from now on. Even if we can't help Nan Cen, we shouldn't hold him back," Ye Qingyan said with a smile.

The women naturally had no objection to this.

Especially Hua Yunyan and Ye Mengwan, since they both have children in their wombs.

Who wouldn't want their child to have a carefree future?

Even if they really squander their wealth, this family business isn't something they can just lose at will.
