My stepmother forced me to donate bone marrow, so I retaliated by slapping my scumbag father in the

Outside the banquet hall, the elevator doors slowly closed.

Sun Qingliang remained standing in the same spot, his face frighteningly gloomy.

The surrounding guests did not disperse immediately, and hushed discussions continued to emanate from them.

"Is Shen Ze officially declaring war on the Sun family?"

"Although he owns many businesses, the Sun family is, after all, a century-old family with assets approaching one trillion."

"Young people are still too impulsive."

"What Patriarch Sun said just now was too much. He wouldn't even spare a woman and a child back then, and now he's flaunting it? Who could tolerate that?"

Several members of the Sun family couldn't stand it anymore.

"Shut up, all of you!"

"The Sun family's affairs are none of your business!"

The guests exchanged glances, but no one spoke further, nor did any of them step forward to offer comfort.

Sun Qingliang just admitted that he used his connections to suppress a mother and son who had already left their marriage with nothing.

It's hardly something to be proud of to bring this up in public.

Sun Qingliang gripped his cane tightly and slammed it hard against the ground.

"A young man who has just achieved some success dares to threaten to wipe out the Sun family!"

"Hmph! Who does he think he is?"

A middle-aged clansman hurriedly said, "Patriarch, Shen Ze only dares to be so arrogant because Douxin is developing rapidly and he married Yu Yehua's daughter."

"The Sun family has been in business for over a century, with assets approaching one trillion yuan and businesses spanning multiple industries."

"His idea of ​​taking action against the Sun family is simply wishful thinking."

Another person chimed in, "That's right."

"His businesses may seem numerous, but their foundation is very shallow."

"As long as the Sun family takes serious action, first cutting off Douxin's brand cooperation and then putting pressure on Mingzhu Private Bank, he will soon understand how terrifying a real wealthy family can be."

Hearing these words, Sun Qingliang's anger subsided slightly.

He never truly placed Shen Ze on the same level as himself.

In his eyes, Shen Ze was just a greenhorn who was lucky enough to have successfully completed several projects.

Even with several companies, he is still just a newly emerging young tycoon.

The Sun family, however, has a history spanning over a century.

Those intricate networks of connections and interests cannot be represented by wealth on paper.

"Master, should we take action immediately?"

"No rush."

Sun Qingliang glanced around and forced himself to remain calm: "Today is the annual meeting of the Great Xia Chamber of Commerce. Let's not let outsiders continue to laugh at us."

"Let's go back to the room first."

He was escorted away from the main hall by a group of Sun family members.

After the suite door closed, Sun Xia whispered, "Dad, what Shen Ze has been doing lately has gone beyond just targeting Shen Jianjun's family."

"He publicly declared that he would wipe out the entire Sun family, so he probably won't back down easily."

"Him?"

Sun Qingliang sat down on the sofa and sneered, "How many storms has the Sun family weathered? Does he really think that just because he's earned tens of billions, he's qualified to contend with the Sun family?"

Sun Xia didn't respond. She had personally witnessed how Shen Ze had driven Jianjun Group to the brink of collapse step by step.

Land plots on Qingnian Road, Douyin (TikTok), 6.9 billion yuan in loans, 15 mines...

Every step seemed like a simple business choice, but in the end, they all became a noose around Shen Jianjun's neck.

Once such a person sets his sights on the Sun family, he will definitely not just talk the talk.

After a brief silence, she changed the subject.

"Amei is not doing well now."

"Shen Cong was sentenced to sixteen years, and Shen Jianjun's group is also on the verge of collapse."

"I heard they even dismissed some of their household servants, and they don't dare to go to those places anymore."

Sun Qingliang's face darkened: "That's because she's not ambitious enough!"

"How much help did the Sun family give her?"

"When she wanted to marry Shen Jianjun, I cleared all the obstacles for her and also gave Shen Jianjun a lot of connections and resources."

"Over the years, Jianjun Group has grown to a scale of hundreds of billions. Is it really just due to its own abilities?"

"With the Sun family backing them up, they've still managed to live like this. If they're not incompetent, who's to blame but me?"

Although she didn't get along with Sun Mei, they were still family. Sun Xia hesitated for a moment: "But Mei is, after all, a member of the Sun family."

"She's almost at her wit's end. Should we bring her back to Longdu?"

"Why bring them back?"

Sun Qingliang sneered, "Let the whole of Longdu see just how pathetic my daughter has been forced into this situation!"

Although he said that, his tone was noticeably less forceful.

Sun Xia saw through his thoughts: "You actually already had a backup plan for Amei, didn't you?"

Sun Qingliang remained silent for a few seconds before impatiently saying, "I have reserved two billion yuan for her overseas."

"They also own several other properties, enough for their family to live on for the rest of their lives."

Sun Xia was taken aback: "Two billion?"

"No matter how angry I am, she is still my daughter."

Sun Qingliang leaned heavily against the sofa: "Once Jianjun Group can no longer hold on, let her leave with the rest of the people."

"As long as she doesn't cause any more trouble, two billion is enough for her to live a peaceful life."

"I've already thought it through for her, you don't need to remind me."

Sun Xia felt a little uncomfortable, but still sighed, "With this money, at least Amei won't really fall to the bottom of society."

Upon hearing the words "lower class," Sun Qingliang recalled what Shen Ze had said before he left.

He wanted to make Sun Mei and her descendants the lowest class of people they looked down upon.

Two billion is, of course, a fortune that an ordinary person could never spend in a lifetime.

But for Sun Mei, who once lived in a mansion, drove luxury cars, and had a net worth of hundreds of billions, this was just her last resort.

More importantly, now that Shen Ze has his eye on the Sun family, will he leave her no way out?

The anger on Sun Qingliang's face slowly subsided, and he finally began to seriously consider Shen Ze's threat.

Douxin has already secured access to the domestic short video and live e-commerce platforms.

Pearl Private Bank possesses substantial funds.

With Xingchen Group, Yehua Group, and the Yu family's connections, Shen Ze's commercial power is far stronger than it appears on the surface.

His willingness to declare war in public today is not merely for the sake of momentary verbal sparring.

The Sun family has competitors in almost every sector, including real estate, energy, finance, and manufacturing.

Shen Ze may not need to directly defeat the Sun family.

As long as the Sun family continues to support its rivals, seize projects, suppress stock prices, and cut off some funding channels, the Sun family will suffer huge losses every day.

It might not be noticeable in a year or two.

But what if it lasts for ten years?

Even the largest family cannot withstand a prolonged attack from a powerful enemy.

Sun Qingliang gripped his cane tighter and tighter until this moment, when he truly felt regret.

Back then, Shen Ze was just a child with no ability to resist, and Xu Ying was just an ordinary woman with no background.

If we had been a little more ruthless back then and made that mother and child disappear completely, we wouldn't be in this mess today.

"dad?"

Sun Xia noticed something was wrong with his expression: "What are you thinking about?"

"I think I was too soft-hearted back then."

Sun Qingliang raised his head, his voice icy: "Since they have become a threat, they cannot stay any longer."

Sun Xia's expression changed slightly: "What do you want to do?"

"Don't worry about this."

"Shen Ze thought that just because he owned a few companies, he could challenge the Sun family."

"I will make him understand that a young man without any foundation is nothing in front of a century-old family."

Sun Qingliang got up and walked to the inside of the suite.

He didn't handle the matter from back then properly.

This time, he won't make the same mistake again.
