Chapter 556 A Secret Scheme Within a Wealthy Family
Chapter 556 A Secret Scheme Within a Wealthy Family
The influence of the Huang, Zhao, Dong, and Wang families far exceeds that of the Ouyang family in mainland China and Hong Kong.
They not only have money, but also hidden influence.
Even if the higher-ups wanted to take action against them, it wouldn't be an easy task for them to do so.
However, if the imperial authorities were to investigate them, they would feel a chill run down their spines.
After all, who doesn't have a dark past to build such a large business and climb to such a high position?
Huang Ting sighed:
"Actually, it's just that old codger Su Yi in the Imperial Clan likes to pretend to be incorruptible and investigate this and that. If someone else were in power, we could just win them over and that would be fine!"
Wang Dong nodded:
"Indeed, I've even had drinks with Liao Kai before. He's a pretty good guy! Not so old-fashioned!"
Dong Zhenji said:
"Actually, Su Yi is already very old. Legend has it that he is already 180 years old, which is the limit of human lifespan. How much longer can he live? Once he dies of old age, naturally no one will investigate us."
A hint of helplessness appeared on Zhao Jingyu's chubby face:
"It's a pity that if this old dog doesn't die, it will be our end. May I ask you all, which one of you can withstand scrutiny?"
Huang Ting looked at Fatty Zhao:
"Do you have any concrete information that the Royal Gate is going to take action against us?"
Zhao Jingyu said mysteriously:
“I have a relative working under Liao Kai, that’s absolutely true. Do you think next year will only involve investigating Nantong, Daliangcheng, and Zhonggang? This is Beijing, right under the emperor’s nose, the old man is definitely going to investigate!”
Huang Ting remained silent.
Thinking about the incident where my grandson was beaten, I felt there was definitely something fishy about it.
Seeing that none of the people were speaking, Zhao Jingyu knew that they were all preoccupied with their own thoughts and became uneasy.
So they said:
"Su Yi was already old and didn't have the energy anymore, so he let Liao Kai do everything."
Then, a miracle doctor named Cao Erdan suddenly appeared, who actually had the ability to prolong the old man's life!
This kid is now frantically searching for rare and precious herbs to prolong Su Yi's life.
If Su Yi recovers his strength, his first target will be the wealthy families in Beijing.
"Look, do you have any good ideas?"
The other three remained silent.
a long time,
Huang Ting looked at Zhao Jingyu:
"Nephew, since you've gathered everyone here, you must have a plan in mind. So stop keeping us in suspense and tell me your thoughts!"
Zhao Jingyu laughed heartily:
"Actually, with your intelligence and wisdom, there's no way you can't find a solution. You just don't trust me yet, so you're unwilling to reveal your true feelings. So let me be the first to state my position!"
So he stood up, looking quite dashing:
"In order for us all to continue to be kings in the capital, we must eliminate the obstacles!"
Wang Dong was taken aback:
"What? You want to kill Su Yi? He's a Heavenly Realm expert, an invincible war god!"
Zhao Jingyu shook his head:
"No, no, Su Yi holds a high position. Even if he's not a Heavenly Realm expert, we can't easily touch him. Otherwise, the consequences would be far beyond our control. I'm talking about Cao Erdan. Killing him will naturally bring peace!"
Dong Zhenji waved his hand and said:
"Since they are experts from the Imperial Clan, they must possess extraordinary skills. If we fail, the consequences will be unimaginable! Besides, we cannot provoke the Imperial Clan just because we suspect they are investigating us!"
Seeing that he couldn't gain everyone's approval, Zhao Jingyu gritted his teeth and said:
"You don't believe this news is accurate, do you? Fine, I'll tell you the truth. Actually, I have a partnership with the Black Wind Society!"
"What? The Black Wind Society of Japan?"
All three of them looked surprised.
But it was all just an act.
The three of them had long heard that Zhao Jingyu and the Japanese Black Wind Society were in cahoots.
I just didn't expect him to admit it in public.
It seems that he was very sincere about this meeting, which is why he directly revealed his private information.
Huang Ting stroked his white beard, looking like an elder giving a warning:
"Little Zhao, associating with the Black Wind Society of Yingguo is a major taboo in China. You must be careful!"
Zhao Jingyu sneered:
"Does anyone here have any taboos? If you feel you have nothing to hide and are not afraid of anyone checking, then pretend I didn't say anything today, and you can do as you please. My Zhao family will take full responsibility for this!"
Saying,
They were eyeing the three people.
The other three people did not move.
Actually, it's all an unspoken understanding.
They know each other very well who has shit on them.
Dong Zhenji asked:
"So what did the Black Wind Society say?"
The fact that he asked the question proves that he doesn't want to quit.
Wang Dong rubbed his prayer beads, remaining silent as he watched Zhao Jingyu.
Zhao Jingyu's eyes flashed with a fierce light:
"I don't care if they are from Japan or any other country. As long as they can help me succeed, I will cooperate with them!"
The Black Wind Society has already stated that they have a deep-seated hatred for Cao Erdan!
Cao Erdan killed several capable members of the Black Wind Society.
Therefore, this time, the Black Wind Society promised to send experts to assist us in eliminating this bastard!
As long as Cao Erdan dies, the Black Wind Society said they'll handle dealing with Su Yi.
The Black Wind Society is notorious for producing assassins; the Imperial Family will be in for a rough time!
After saying that, Zhao Jingyu stared at her three friends with her small eyes.
The air seemed to stand still.
After a long time,
Dong Zhenji spoke first:
"Since Brother Zhao is so certain, then I have no objection! After all, we're in the same boat, and neither of us would do anything to betray a friend!"
This makes it clear: if Zhao Jingyu harms me, you won't fare any better!
Wang Dong was usually a man of few words, and at this moment he didn't say much either, just nodded, which was his way of agreeing.
The three of them looked at Huang Ting, who was stroking his white beard.
Huang Ting couldn't help but smile slightly:
"Since the Black Wind Society has dispatched experts, and we're just cooperating, why shouldn't we do it!"
Wang Dong said somewhat helplessly:
"Actually, I'm not worried about Brother Zhao harming us, but the Black Wind Society of Japan has a notorious reputation, and we can't associate with them for long!"
Zhao Jingyu smiled confidently:
"Our cooperation with the Japanese is nothing more than mutual exploitation and getting what we need. Do you really expect us to be completely open with them? We'll do whatever is beneficial to us, but we're not without the ability to distinguish those who want to harm us!"
That's true; the bigwigs here have a lot of confidence in their own intelligence.
Although there's nothing to speak of regarding character, someone lacking intelligence wouldn't be sitting here.
Zhao Jingyu slammed his hand on the table:
"Since everyone agrees, we've formed a pact of mutual support. If any of us is in trouble, we'll all help each other out!"
Huang Ting nodded:
"Everyone has agreed, so there's no need for those traditional oaths and vows. Just tell me, what do you need us to do?"
Zhao Jingyu smiled and said:
"It's very simple. Since the Black Wind Society has sent experts, saying they've dispatched several elders at the same time, we can't just sit back and reap the benefits."
We will also send some experts to assist each of us.
The more the better, but they must be experts, not mediocre ones. Don't fail to complete the task and harm your teammates!
The Black Wind Society had previously offered a commission to kill Cao Erdan, but a considerable number of people showed up, a mixed bag of all levels, and Cao Erdan slaughtered them all.
The others could only nod in agreement.
As a top-tier wealthy family, it's natural to employ some top-notch experts to protect themselves.
It's still possible to send some people to help.
Zhao Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Knowing that after this incident, the Black Wind Society would strongly support him, and that the four major families would follow his lead.
So he snapped his fingers and beckoned people in:
"Forget tea, let's pop some champagne to celebrate our friendship!"
The heads of several top families were relieved to have reached a conspiracy agreement!
