The column of blood flowed along the coffin body like a floodgate opening, dyeing the cyan marble red and seeping into the cracks.
"ah……"
There were screams from the crowd.
Those high-ranking businessmen and celebrities were like escaping rats, crawling away from Qian's house.
This bloody scene frightened everyone in the Qian family!
The man's face was pale, his whole body was weak, and he was shivering, while the woman was frightened and fainted.
Lin Pingfan didn't care about the fleeing crowd, carrying Qian Yaoduo's head, and walked out of the manor step by step.
Instead of going home, he came to the cross-river bridge.
Standing on the bridge, looking at the dark river with the help of moonlight, I felt a strong sadness exuding from my body.
The eyes behind the mask shed a line of tears, and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
Five years.
The bodies of his parents have still not been found.
Five years.
The Lin family's blood feud has still not been avenged.
He didn't even have the nerve to say simple words like 'Mom and Dad'.
In the end, he threw Qian Yaoduo's head into the river and turned around to leave.
…
late at night.
Cries continued to be heard in the Qian family manor. The once glorious Qian family was now like a place of mourning.
Several military trucks were parked outside the manor, and hundreds of armed soldiers lined up inside the manor, stretching all the way to the black coffin.
A burly man in military uniform stared at Qian Yaoduo's body in the coffin with bloodshot eyes.
Veins popped out on his forehead, he took out his gun and fired a mourning gun into the night sky.
"Dad, your son will avenge you."
"I want it back a hundred times, a thousand times!"
This man is none other than Qian Yaoduo's eldest son, Qian Hao.
"Vice President, the phone number of the Imperial Capital."
A man hurried to Qian Hao and handed over a satellite phone.
After receiving the call, he took a deep breath, forced himself to restrain his grief, and spoke slowly: "My father was killed. He is a remnant of the Lin family."
"Tell me, how many people from the Lin family are hiding in Haizhou, and who saved those losers in the first place!"
"Ye family!?"
"Ever rescued Lin's son!?"
"I see!"
Qian Hao almost squeezed out the last sentence "I understand" from his throat.
And his eyes erupted with a biting cold light!
…
Early the next morning.
Lin Pingfan, who was still sleeping, was awakened by a rapid ringing of the phone.
With hazy eyes, he glanced at the number and saw it was Zhao Anran calling.
After answering the call, before he could speak, Zhao Anran's urgent voice rang.
"Little friend, come to my place quickly. I have something very important to discuss with you!"
Lin Pingfan raised his eyebrows slightly and hesitated for a moment: "Well, wait for me."
Hang up the phone and rush to Henghong Building.
When I arrived at the top-floor office, I saw Zhao Anran pacing back and forth in the huge office, looking worried.
Sun Wanxing was also there, but he looked indifferent, sitting on the sofa and drinking tea leisurely.
Lin Pingfan looked at the anxious Zhao Anran, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: "Zhao richest man, what happened!?"
As soon as Zhao Anran saw Lin Pingfan arriving, he pulled him and sat on the sofa.
"Little friend, something happened!"
"Look at this!"
With that said, he took an A4 piece of paper from his desk and handed it to Lin Pingfan.
Lin Pingfan took the paper doubtfully.
It turned out to be a joint letter with handwritten signatures from all the major families.
“What does this joint book mean!?”
The joint letter stated that they would boycott all cooperation projects with Zhao Anran, and more than twenty families, large and small, jointly signed it.
Among them, six of the top ten families in Haizhou have signed their names, and there are even signatures from the court.
Lin Pingfan really couldn't figure out what these families were trying to do, and they dared to challenge Zhao Anran.
Zhao Anran took a deep breath and looked extremely gloomy.
"Because of my cooperation with the Leng family, it led to a boycott from all the families in Haizhou."
"Even my partners from other cities have received a joint letter of boycott."
"These families have threatened that they will only give up their resistance if I give up cooperation with the Leng family."
Listening to Zhao Anran's words, Lin Pingfan instantly understood.
This is probably the method of the Yu family or the Lotus Society, otherwise those small families would not be able to curry favor with Zhao Anran, let alone dare to compete with him.
Lin Pingfan thought for a moment and asked: "Zhao Shaofu, what do you mean by coming to me? Are you planning to give up cooperation!?"
Zhao Anran couldn't help but fell silent for a moment after listening to Lin Pingfan's words.
Instead of answering his question, he asked: "I'm not worried about how the merchants in Haizhou will jointly sign. After all, I rarely cooperate with your local merchants."
"But the joint letter has been sent to my important partners overnight. They all thought something had happened to me, and they were all worried. Some were even ready to terminate the contract with me."
Zhao Anran looked solemn and had helplessness in his tone.
"My friend, can you tell me what happened here?"
"In other words, who has been offended, you or the Leng family!?"
"Why else would the entire Haizhou merchants start a joint boycott of me because of my cooperation with the Leng family?"
Listening to Zhao Anran's words, Lin Pingfan already knew his purpose.
So he didn't hide anything: "Leng, the Yu family are fighting, I'm on the side of the Leng family."
After Zhao Anran heard this, his brows instantly sank into his eyebrows and he fell into silence.
After a long time, he slowly spoke: "My little friend, you should think twice before doing this."
"Although the Leng family currently ranks fifth in Haizhou, it is not as strong as the Yu family."
"Even with my help, the Leng family cannot reverse the situation and can only barely survive."
"My friend, you are young and your future is limitless. If you side with the Leng family, I'm afraid..."
Zhao Anran's words basically expressed his attitude.
Faced with such great pressure, even Zhao Anran cannot stay alone.
Lin Pingfan pondered for a moment and then asked: "So the richest man, Zhao, are you planning to side with the Yu family!?"
The sudden question made Zhao Anran stunned for a moment.
Without thinking, he shook his head: "No, I will not take any side. Hongheng Group is already the number one group in Haizhou, and I am the richest man in Haizhou City."
"The method of relying on conspiracy and plundering is not suitable for me. I just want to quietly expand my business and make more money. Becoming the richest man in the summer is my goal."
Listening to Zhao Anran's words, Lin Pingfan slowly raised the corners of his mouth and laughed.
As long as Zhao Anran does not side with the Yu family, he is not an enemy.
Sun Wanxing, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke: "The richest man Zhao, haven't you noticed that Haizhou is about to change?"
Zhao Anran was stunned and looked at Sun Wanxing with raised eyebrows, as if he didn't understand what he meant.
"Mr. Zhao, there are some things that no one can escape from. I think it's better for you to choose a side."
"Doing this may be very helpful for your future industry!"
Sun Wanxing's words made Zhao Anran even more confused.
I have reached a level that no one in Haizhou can match. Do I still need help from the Leng family?
"The richest man Zhao, I give this to you."
Suddenly, just as Zhao Anran was pondering Sun Wanxing's words, Lin Pingfan's voice sounded quietly.
He turned his head in confusion and suddenly found an extra jade token on the table!
His body instantly stiffened!
Pointing to the jade token in disbelief, he trembled and hesitated and said three words: "Gong...Gongzi Ling!?"
