A family of widows, all shouldered, raising the dragon flag!

The power of a single palm strike!

He slapped Shen Zhixing away!

"Where are the Inkscale Guards?!"

"exist!"

The three thousand Inkscale Guards responded in unison, immediately stunning everyone present so much that they dared not make a move.

"Go and interrogate him to find out how much silver he embezzled from the Qin family!"

"As for this restaurant, capture everyone from the Shen family!"

Shen Zhiwei heard Qin Ze's stern voice.

He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

That was, after all, her own younger brother.

Soon, Shen Zhixing confessed everything.

With Shen Zhixing's confession, all of the Shen family members in the restaurant were brought before Qin Ze.

"Master, he embezzled 30,000 taels at the restaurant, and a total of 100,000 taels from other places!"

"If expenses are included, it's probably more than 500,000!"

As soon as she said those words, Shen Zhiwei sensed something was wrong.

Although she had been running these businesses, she couldn't refuse whenever the Shen family came to her. Over time, many things naturally fell into place.

But she never expected the Shen family to have such a big appetite.

She also understood why they were always in debt.

Not only did she understand, but Qin Ze understood as well.

"Besides these, is there anything else?"

Qin Ze didn't believe that Shen Zhiwei, such a spoiled brat, could do something so big.

"Patriarch, besides him, there's the Chen family, the Lu family, and the Li family. They're all... all preparing to slowly swallow up our Qin family's assets!"

"Fine, what a wonderful slow takeover!"

"Shen Zhixing, I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself. Take me to find a few other companies you'd like to collaborate with!"

"Remember, this is your only chance to live!"

Are you going or not?

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhixing looked directly at Shen Zhiwei.

"Big sister, is this how you treat your own brother?"

"So noisy!"

boom!

Qin Ze slapped her again, and this slap made Shen Zhixing feel like she was about to die.

Shen Zhiwei also felt a sharp pain in her heart.

But then I remembered what Qin Ze had told me before.

She understood what Qin Ze was going to do.

At this crucial moment, we absolutely cannot hold Qin Ze back.

"Take him with you, to the Shen family!"

Shen Suinian had not yet left home.

They then discovered that their home had been surrounded by the Ink Scale Guards.

The moment he saw Qin Ze, he was both shocked and furious.

"Qin Ze, your father and I are in-laws, what are you trying to do?"

"In-laws? If they're bloodsucking in-laws, my Qin family would rather not have them!"

"Give me 500,000 taels of silver, and we'll call it even!"

"If you can't produce it, don't blame me, Qin Ze, for being ruthless!"

With that, Qin Ze gave a look, and the Mo Lin Guards threw Shen Zhixing at Shen Suinian's feet.

Seeing her son so badly injured.

For a fleeting moment, Shen Suinian wanted to kill Qin Ze.

Then, Shen Zhiwei slowly stepped out of the carriage.

He fell silent.

"Father, today's events were orchestrated by me!"

"If you want money from me, just ask, and I'll give it to you!"

"But you absolutely shouldn't have allowed your underlings and others to bully me without my permission!"

"Five hundred thousand taels, Father, are you prepared to write an IOU, or will you give half of the salt and iron business in the city to your daughter?"

With these words, Shen Zhiwei was no longer the timid and submissive person she usually was.

Where was even a trace of his usual respect?

Not to mention Shen Suinian, even Qin Ze was somewhat bewildered by his sister-in-law's change.

This change seems to have happened a little too fast!

Shen Suinian stared intently at the daughter she had raised with her own hands.

She said through almost gritted teeth, "You really are the good daughter I raised!"

"Don't worry, I will personally deliver the silver in three days!"

"As for you, never tell outsiders that you are a child of the Shen family. The Shen family does not deserve a daughter like you who disowns her own family."

These words were spoken.

Shen Zhiwei felt dizzy.

But she managed to keep her composure.

She held back the tears welling in her eyes.

"Father will understand the good intentions behind his daughter's actions today. She will come to collect it herself in three days!"

After saying that, Shen Zhiwei got into the carriage.

A soft voice came from inside the carriage.

"Go to the Lu family!"

Watching the carriage disappear into the distance.

Shen Suinian frowned and glanced at her son.

Thinking about what Qin Ze had done before.

He felt that Shen Zhiwei was indeed saving the Shen family.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Shen Zhiwei personally ruined his plans in the Qin family. For that alone, Shen Zhiwei is not worthy of being his daughter.

…………

The Lu family!

Upon learning that the Inkscale Guards were heading this way, he immediately summoned all the retainers, servants, and guards to the front yard.

At the same time, they also sent people to seek help from the court officials.

When Qin Ze looked at the Lu family's tightly closed gate, he simply made a gesture.

The gates of the Lu family were then blasted open by the Ink Scale Guards.

"Qin Ze, my Lu family has no grudge against you. Today you broke down my gate and frightened my family. You must give me a reasonable explanation, or my Lu family will risk our entire family's lives to have the Emperor wipe out this lawless wastrel!"

The head of the Lu family suppressed his fear and stood in the courtyard.

"Patriarch Lu, you see no enmity with me, but I, Qin Ze, see it differently!"

"After all, you bullied someone and you feel no resentment, but what about the person you bullied? Do you think they felt they had no grudge against you?"

The head of the Lu family was about to refute this when he heard it.

But then Shen Zhiwei stepped down from the carriage with an air of nonchalance.

The other person still had the same smile as always.

But this time, the smile sent a chill down his spine.

Because he knew all too well what he had said and done before.

"Madam, I admit my words were offensive before, but it didn't warrant such a thing..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Zhiwei laughed.

Her smile was soft, gentle, and beautiful.

But in the eyes of the Lu family patriarch, it was so cold that he couldn't help but shiver.

"Patriarch Lu, I can tolerate verbal offense, but it seems your actions go beyond just verbal offense!"

"What are you saying to me, a woman with no men to rely on?"

"You say the men of the Qin family are all dead? You say the Qin family isn't good enough for me, and only you are?"

"Or are you saying that when you tried to pull me up, you failed and got angry, accusing me of being ungrateful?"

"These things are nothing, but what you shouldn't have done, you absolutely shouldn't have, attacked my maids and had them drug me!"

"What's even more inappropriate is that while the men of the Qin family are fighting on the battlefield, you're secretly seizing the businesses they've worked so hard to build. They haven't touched salt or iron, just restaurants and cloth—these are the hard-earned money they've made, yet you're still not giving your in-laws a way to survive..."

"Now that I've come to your door, you're not as arrogant as before. Don't you find that ridiculous?"

"You're so afraid of just one son of the Qin family!"

"Back then, how dare you say that even if all the Qin family's sons gathered, you would still dare to humiliate them?"

The head of the Lu family saw the killing intent in Qin Ze's eyes.

They knew they were doomed.

"Qin Ze, I'll take full responsibility for my actions, please let me go..."

The sound stopped abruptly!

It was Qin Ze who ordered the Ink Scale Guards to shoot him directly.

The other person looked at Qin Ze with resentment and malice, but there was no remorse in their eyes.

"Let's go, next one!"

"Master, their family?"

"Naturally eradicate the problem at its root!"
