Chapter 498: Chapter 496: Experience What It Means to Have Financial Power!
But who could have imagined that Xia Wenyan and Lu Zhaozhao were family?
Even more outrageous was that all those who were on good terms with Pei Huai were from the Xia Family.
Their original plan had been to start with Lu Zhaozhao and then take on the people of the Xia Family one by one.
Unexpectedly, before they could even make a move against Lu Zhaozhao, they were caught by them.
Xia Wenjue, Xia Wenqing, and Xia Wenmo didn’t feel surprised at all after hearing this.
But what Tomson said next darkened everyone’s faces.
"That woman said, if those close to Pei Huai are men, just let them get into car accidents to learn their lesson; it doesn’t matter if they just get injured, but it’d be best if they die."
Tomson clearly sensed that the atmosphere around these men had turned cold.
He couldn’t help but swallow hard, then added, "That woman also said, if they are women, then slash their faces before selling them off to ZD country."
Hearing the initials ZD, everyone’s brows furrowed almost simultaneously—women had virtually no rights in that country.
What Feng Ya Meizi was doing was tantamount to making the lives of any women close to Pei Huai worse than death.
They didn’t care what others thought; right now, they only cared about their sister!
This damnable woman Feng Ya Meizi actually wanted to treat their sister this way!
If they didn’t settle this, they’d truly be failing to justify the millions of dollars they’d spent!
Xia Wenjue raised his hand and patted Song Sinian’s shoulder, looking resolutely at him, "Brother-in-law, let’s just declare war on the Fengya Family!"
A good economic war—first crush them financially.
Do the women of the Fengya Family think their clan is rich?
Let them experience what real monetary power is!
"Great idea, I agree," Xia Wenqing’s shoulder joined in. "A family like Fengya, entrenched at the top for generations, is bound to have loads of skeletons in the closet. Looking into all their dirty dealings should be quite entertaining."
Their own country’s upper echelons probably turn a blind eye to them.
If it were before, they might not be able to legally shake such a big family.
But now things were different, as the heir to the Rimu Family, which stood shoulder to shoulder with the Fengya Family, was now Pei Huai.
If he wanted to make a move, he could act much faster than them.
Xia Wenmo’s gaze swept over the mercenaries before him, and a cold smile suddenly appeared on his lips, "I suddenly have a rather good idea, but right now I need some simple cooperation."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Tomson and the others clearly felt the icy stare from Xia Wenmo, and they shuddered nearly in unison.
Why did the gaze of this seemingly gentle man in front of them feel so terrifying?
They had known earlier that coming to this country they would hit a snag; they would have been better off staying in the previous country honestly.
Now it was too late for regrets.
Song Sinian’s gaze swept back and forth over them before he spoke in a detached tone, "You may do as you please, but I have one condition: under no circumstances is Zhaozhao to be taken out of the country."
She had already had a difficult enough life domestically, and if she were taken abroad by the Xia Family, who knew what kind of trouble might break out.
Their actions and behaviors were always unpredictable, and if Lu Zhaozhao were to get accidentally hurt, that would be problematic.
Xia Wenjue, Xia Wenqing, and Xia Wenmo naturally understood what Song Sinian meant, and the three of them nodded in agreement repeatedly.
"Of course, Zhaozhao’s safety comes first, and this time we truly don’t intend to take him with us, it’s just..." Xia Wenjue’s speech trailed off hesitantly.
He pursed his lips slightly, then continued, "You are not unfamiliar with our little sister’s character, we are worried that she might insist on following if she finds out." 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
Song Sinian’s brow lifted slightly, given Lu Zhaozhao’s personality, such a situation was not impossible.
"So..." Xia Wenjue laid his hand on Song Sinian’s shoulder again, "we’re counting on you to deal with our little sister."
Now, the only person Lu Zhaozhao would listen to was Song Sinian.
They were going to stay with Pei Huai for a few days, and as for Lu Zhaozhao, they would rely on Song Sinian.
Song Sinian’s gaze swept over the people of the Xia Family, eventually nodding, "Zhaozhao is my wife, her safety is my top priority, and that’s something you don’t need to worry about."
Xia Wenqing couldn’t help but scoff, "We obviously wouldn’t worry about Zhaozhao’s safety, what we’re really worried about is whether you would become softhearted from Zhaozhao coquettishly pleading with you and you end up letting her come along..."
They were worried that they would change their minds in front of Lu Zhaozhao, and that’s why they didn’t dare to discuss this matter with her, choosing to sneak off instead.
Thus, this difficult task now fell upon Song Sinian’s shoulders.
Song Sinian looked at Xia Wenjue, Xia Wenqing, and Xia Wenmo, who were watching him intently, and with a somewhat speechless expression, he said, "You think you can’t refuse Zhaozhao, do you really think I can refuse her?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
The three of them suddenly fell silent.
Indeed, with their Zhaozhao being so endearing, who could possibly refuse her?
The more they thought about it, the more uneasy they felt, and in order to prevent themselves from becoming the culprits who took Lu Zhaozhao out, they stealthily went to see Pei Huai instead.
Not even Xia Wenyan, who was lying in the hospital bed, was an exception.
Because the XJ Group and Song Group had jointly purchased many companies in Country R, they were almost openly opposing the Feng Ya Family.
Whatever industry the Fengya Family Head focused on, they were there to compete in the same.
It was nearly declared openly in public that the XJ Group and Song Group did not get along with the Fengya Family.
Fengya Ichiro, the Fengya Family Head, quickly learned through various sources the reason behind the XJ Group and Song Group’s collective targeting of their family.
That very day, he rushed to the hospital and slapped Feng Ya Meizi, who was resting there, across the face.
Feng Ya Meizi, whose face was already scarred, was in the healing phase and was almost reverted to her original state by Fengya Ichiro’s slap.
"Dad! What are you doing?!" Feng Ya Meizi looked at the man standing before her in utter disbelief.
She had always been the heir to the Fengya Family, so her father had always been gentle to her.
Not to mention hitting her, he had never even spoken a harsh word to his daughter before, or else Feng Ya Meizi wouldn’t have been so arrogant everywhere.
So arrogant as to drug the heir of the Rimu Family.
Fengya Ichiro had been dealing with a tricky business outside, but the moment he heard Feng Ya Meizi was injured, he rushed back immediately.
He could never have imagined that during his absence, Feng Ya Meizi could have caused such an earth-shattering incident!
