Chapter 377 A Vast Industry
"Chen Er, I know that whatever you do is for the benefit of all the people, so I won't complain about you. I just hope that one day you will be merciful and spare my father's life."
Qin Luoshen also knew that Chen Er had now joined forces with the Embroidered Uniform Guard in order to achieve his own goals.
There's a saying that goes, "Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together." Qin Zhongting has invited Chen Er to join his side many times, but Chen Er has refused every time.
It's obvious that the two of them will eventually meet face to face, and if Chen Er wins then...
Qin Luoshen desperately hoped that Chen Er would spare Qin Zhongting's life.
"Qin Luoshen, just wait at home for my good news. Anyway, I'm determined to succeed this time. As long as Zhao Tianming has embezzled, I don't believe I can't find his secret warehouse," Chen Er said with a cold glint in his eyes.
Qin Luoshen watched Chen Er leave before finally letting out a sigh. Although she wanted to stop Chen Er's actions, upon closer reflection, she realized that Chen Er was a man with lofty ideals.
I absolutely cannot become a stumbling block for Chen Er, otherwise even Qin Luoshen will look down on me.
At this moment, in a quiet living room of the Wang family, an elderly man with white hair sat in a high position. His face was very gloomy, and his expression was distorted. This was Wang Dawei's father.
Wang Dawei was the old man's biological son. Wang Qiusong had a son late in life and originally wanted Wang Dawei to inherit his vast business. However, he never expected that Wang Dawei would die. This made Wang Qiusong very angry, and the old man suddenly slammed his fist on the table.
"Who did this? Do they have no respect for the Wang family? This is outrageous!" The people sitting next to the old man didn't dare to breathe too loudly, afraid that they might accidentally anger Wang Qiusong.
However, just as Wang Qiusheng was getting angry, a pale-faced young man waved a fan in his hand.
"Reporting to the master, I have sent people to investigate and found out that the corrupt official who harmed Wang Dawei is named Chen Er, and he is only a first-rank official. Who would have thought that a first-rank official would not take our Wang family seriously?"
"So we have to pull some strings. If we can't even handle this first-rank official, how can we avenge our young master?"
This pale-faced boy, despite his young appearance, is actually middle-aged and is Huang Qiusong's advisor. The Wang family has grown their business to such a large scale entirely thanks to this middle-aged man's constant advice.
If he encounters some foolish enemies, this boy will do everything he can to seize their family property.
Moreover, he enjoyed sowing discord, which allowed Wang Qiusong to rise to prominence in recent years. Just as Wang Qiusong was basking in his success and preparing to place his family members in the imperial court, Wang Dawei unexpectedly caused this incident. This was truly unacceptable to Wang Qiusong.
Wang Qiusong crushed the teacup in his hand, a chilling smirk appearing on his lips.
"Chen Er is truly audacious. I thought he was some high-ranking official, but he's just a first-rank official. This is outrageous! He doesn't even respect the Wang family. Xiao Bai, you need to find some connections for me right now. No matter the cost, I will make sure this Chen Er dies."
Wang Qiusong is now truly furious.
If I were a few years younger right now, I'd love to lead a group to cause trouble for Chen Er right now.
He had Chen Er's head ripped off alive to avenge his dead son, and now his son's body hadn't even been returned. Clearly, Chen Er was going against the Wang family.
However, Wang Qiusong had already secretly made up his mind to make Chen Er pay the price. This man called Xiaobai was Wang Qiusong's advisor. He had a pair of green eyes and kept looking at the people around him before he spoke.
“Let’s prepare for both possibilities. I’ll be going to see Zhao Tianming soon. That old guy has gotten a lot of benefits from our Wang family, hasn’t he? Now it’s time for Zhao Tianming to help our family with something. Besides, everyone here is highly skilled in martial arts. Who will be responsible for assassinating Chen Er?”
Xiao Bai is indeed a master strategist. Not only does he use Zhao Tianming's connections in the court to suppress Chen Er, but he also sends martial arts masters to assassinate Chen Er. This is the Wang family's revenge.
These江湖人士 (jianghu figures) were all people Wang Qiusong had met in recent years. To put it bluntly, in the face of the Wang family's vast wealth, these so-called江湖人士 (jianghu figures) had lost their former code of honor.
In order to maximize their profits, they inevitably became Wang Qiusong's lackeys. One of the men, who looked a bit ugly, immediately volunteered to stand up.
"Let me handle this matter, but I have one condition. I've taken a liking to several of your maids. If I can successfully kill Chen Er and bring back his head, the women I've set my sights on will be mine. What do you say?" the man said confidently.
For the Wang family, these maids were only measured by money. That's how society is; whoever has money can control other people's fate. So Wang Qiusong didn't care about the maids at all.
"Zhang Tianhe, go with peace of mind. As long as you can successfully kill Chen Er, let alone a few maids, even if you want a woman from my Wang family to marry you, this old man will not have any complaints," the old man said coldly.
In fact, the so-called "inner girls" are the descendants of the Wang family. This society has a custom of valuing sons over daughters. People generally believe that girls will eventually get married and leave the family, which is like water spilled out. So, for Wang Qiusong, Wang Dawei is the pillar of the family.
Now that Wang Dawei has been killed by Chen Er, who was a first-rank official, Wang Qiusong is willing to do anything to get revenge on Chen Er. Wang Qiusong's words immediately brought smiles to the faces of these martial arts figures.
“Zhang Tianhe, why don’t you let me handle this matter? I really like the girls from the Wang family. Last time, I took a fancy to the youngest one in the Wang family. She’s quite nice.” A middle-aged man, holding a sword in his arms, said dismissively.
