1788 In Just Three Days, The He Family’s Strongholds in Beijing Have Been Stormed
The He family had used decades to gain a foothold in the capital.
But in just three days, their decades of hard work had been ruined!
He Congming’s face was ashen as he suddenly swept the glass on the table, causing it to crash on the ground. The glass shattered, and no one in the hall dared to speak.
He took a few deep breaths to suppress the blood that was about to rush to his head.
Her eyes were filled with a ferocious glint as he gritted her teeth. “This Qiao Nian really doesn’t care about Jiang Xianrou’s life!”
A few days ago, He Congming would never have believed that his decades of hard work would be ruined by an 18-year-old girl.
If anyone said that to him, he would definitely laugh his head off.
What kind of 18-year-old girl had the ability to shake the He family’s foundation?
But he had to believe it this time!
All their strongholds had been sealed.
The goods were also detained.
He Congming was so angry that his chest heaved violently. His sharp eyes looked like they wanted to eat someone alive. He paced back and forth before finally calming down. Then, he asked in a low voice, “I asked you to contact Bo Zheng. Have you contacted him?”
Brother Biao quickly looked up, Then, even more quickly, he lowered his head. “Captain Bo said… he doesn’t want to see us.”
“What?” He Congming was a little surprised.
Brother Biao continued without raising his head, “I didn’t see Captain Bo in person. I looked for Deputy Captain Luo, who is under Captain Bo. When Deputy Captain Luo heard my intentions, he told me not to see him. He even said…”
Seeing that he had stopped mid-sentence, He Congming stared at him in frustration. “What else did he say?”
Brother Biao found it difficult to speak. He mustered his courage before looking at him again. In the end, he said with a complicated expression, “Deputy Captain Luo said that we stepped on a mine this time. He advised us to quickly apologize to Miss Qiao. There might still be room for negotiation. Otherwise, the He family will probably go down this time.”
At first, He Congming suspected that he had heard wrongly. “He told you that we are going down?”
“Yes.” Brother Biao nodded gloomily. He hesitated and then added, “Boss, why don’t we talk to Qiao Nian again? Actually…”
From the beginning, he thought that it was fine if they touched Jiang Xianrou. It was fine even if they touched Jiang Zongnan. But they shouldn’t have touched Jiang Weishang… After all, Jiang Weishang had been living in the sanatorium and definitely did not know what Jiang Xianrou had done outside.
By venting their anger like this, they had more or less gone overboard.
He had drawn fire to himself.
Unexpectedly, although the Jiang family had declined, Qiao Nian had such a powerful backing that she could control Bo Zheng.
“Actually, I don’t think it’s a big deal to lower our heads. A man knows when to bow and when to stand tall. Later, we’ll…”
He Congming didn’t give him a chance to finish. He sneered. “Ha, what a joke! If I bow down to her, how can our He family survive outside in the future?”
“But now…”
“Alright! I know what I’m doing. Stop speaking,” He Congming interrupted him impatiently. He was frustrated, but he could still keep his composure.
A lackey ran in at this moment.
Seeing the two of them chatting, he quickly reported in a low voice, “Boss, Brother Biao, Miss Ji is here. She’s outside.”
Ji Ziyin was here?
He had originally planned to look for her, but he did not expect her to come directly.
The sinister look on He Congming’s face eased. He ignored the burly man and immediately stood up to welcome her.
