Chapter 320 Snatching Food From the Tiger’s Mouth
Knowing that Lu Fei had successfully become the head of the Lu family, Xie Zhan also decided to quickly close the net.
As the saying goes, remembering the past is the teacher of the future.
Because there were changes in the entire plan, he had to make corresponding adjustments, otherwise he could have eaten both the Chen family and the Lu family at the same time.
But now because Lu Songli's people are in the South, the Ji family is unscathed, and the Gu family still retains most of its strength. Only the Liu and Zhang families, as well as some middle-level forces in the South, are deeply involved.
He must retain a certain amount of strength to deal with these three forces, and cannot use all his strength to eat up the Lu family.
The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins.
If he doesn't adapt and sticks to the original plan, it will be dangerous.
Moreover, although the Lu family seems to have easily accepted Lu Fei as the successor female head of the family now, that is because Lu Fei is the head of the family, and the Lu family is still the Lu family. If the Lu family changes hands, everyone in the Lu family will fight to the death.
Chen Qiye feels deeply exhausted at the moment. It is really a tiring job to lead the entire Chen family against the Lu family.
But it had to be done.
A person has a face, and a tree has a skin.
So many people in the Chen family have died, even the head of the family is dead. If the Chen family doesn't even dare to let a fart go, what will the people in the south think of them?
But until now, they are already on the verge of death. Either you die or I live.
The Chen family is like this, and the Lu family must be the same.
Now there is good news, that is, the emergence of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is a bad thing for the Lu family, but a good thing for the Chen family.
Now it is equivalent to the Chen family and the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce joining forces.
If you hold on a little longer, the Lu family can no longer hold on. Chen Qiye said to himself.
He pushed open the study room where he worked in the Chen Mansion, but as soon as he entered, he found a person standing by the window with his back to him.
"who?"
Xie Zhan turned around slowly.
"Xie Zhan, why are you here?"
Xie Zhan smiled slightly and said, "Master Qi, the game is over."
"What?" What does this mean?
"Master Qi will know after taking a look at this." Xie Zhan pushed the information on the table in front of him.
Chen Qiye glanced at him and took the information over.
At the top is the core information on the various industries of the Chen family.
On a normal day, if this information were leaked to opponents, it would be a big blow to Chen's various industries, let alone at this critical time.
Scroll further down, and there is evidence of some corruption and perversion of the law by Chen over the years.
At the bottom is a piece of information on the Chen family's management of Xiaozhuya Island.
Judging from this information, the Chen family is suspected of secretly digging gold mines.
Master Chen Qi felt nervous. The Chen family must not have anything to do with gold mines.
Otherwise, the Chen family will immediately follow in the footsteps of the Zhu family.
The Zhu family are still being held in prison. It is said that they will be executed on the spot in the near future, and no one will be spared.
Chen Qiye took the information and asked him, "Xie Zhan, what do you mean?"
"Master Qi, you should know what the Chen family will face if this information leaks out, right?"
Of course Chen Qiye knew that if he handed over this information to the government or the imperial envoy, it would be certain that the Chen family would be confiscated.
"Xie Zhan, are you threatening us? Don't eat everything!"
"Eating everything?" Xie Zhan tasted these words, "Isn't this word inappropriate?" From the beginning, he did not regard the Chen family as his own.
"Xie Zhan, don't forget that you are my uncle of the Chen family. If anything happens, we can sit down and talk about it. It doesn't have to be like this." Chen Qiye comforted him, hoping that he would not do anything that would harm others and not benefit himself.
Xie Zhan said jokingly, "You haven't forgotten how I, the uncle of the Chen family, came here, right?"
"Now, I will tell you what I am going to do. I want your Chen family to give up all the properties and interests in the Southland and evacuate the Southland." Xie Zhan finally showed his fangs.
When Chen Qiye heard this, his eyes widened and his breathing became rapid, "Impossible!"
Xie Zhan continued, "You, the Chen clan, can take away your personal property. All the properties and interests of the Chen family in the Southland will be converted into cash, and I allow you to take away 20% of it."
"What if I don't agree?"
Xie Zhan glanced at him indifferently, "If the Chen family doesn't agree with my plan, I will hand over these information to the government or the imperial envoy, so that you, the Chen family, can follow in the footsteps of the Zhu family."
On a hot day, Chen Qiye's hair stood on end.
"Xie Zhan, even if you don't recognize your identity as Chen's aunt, don't forget that you are also an in-law of our Chen family. Also, you are running Xiaozhu Ya Island. If you hand these over to The government and imperial envoys have been convicted by the emperor, and you are an accomplice!"
Xie Zhan was not threatened by him at all and said calmly, "Then you can try and see if anything will happen to me."
Chen Qiye was in a state of confusion.
Promising Xie Zhan meant that the Chen family was defeated in the south. If they don't agree, what they will face is the confiscation of their homes and the annihilation of their clans.
"Master Qi, you can summon the elders of the Chen family to discuss this. I will give you an hour."
Chen Qiye looked dazed and nodded unconsciously.
When Master Chen Qi turned around and walked out, Xie Zhan said to him, "Master Qi, you don't have to feel angry. How do you feel about being threatened by Xie Zhan? I received news that the head of the Lu family has changed."
"The new head of the Lu family is Lu Fei, the eldest daughter of the Lu family. With Master Qi's mind, he should have thought about the impact of this matter on the current situation between the two parties, right?"
Hearing this, Master Chen Qi froze.
Xie Zhan continued, "Linchuan County Ruan family is unwilling to support brother-in-law Lu Yuan, but may not be unwilling to support granddaughter Lu Fei. Therefore, the struggle between the Chen family and the Lu family will eventually end with the failure of the Chen family. Even if the Chen family is willing to cease fire and negotiate at this time, the Lu family may not agree."
After listening to this, Chen Qiye trembled all over.
He looked up at Xie Zhan, "In this case, if you take over the Chen family's business, you will also face the suppression of the Lu family, and you will also be dead."
Xie Zhan: "Don't bother with this. Qiye can go."
When he came out, a familiar voice advised him, "Qiye, a man who knows the times is a hero. Don't be impulsive. If you keep the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood."
Chen Qiye looked up and found that the person who spoke was none other than Ning Jiran.
"Mr. Ning, why do you..." Ning Jiran is the staff of their Chen family.
Ning Jiran smiled and stopped talking.
Chen Qiye's face was gloomy. No matter what choice they made, their Chen family could not escape the end of complete defeat.
After Chen Qiye left, Xie Nan came in and asked, "Patriarch, do you think the Chen family will agree to withdraw from the South?"
The patriarch was equivalent to snatching food from the emperor's mouth. Of course, the emperor didn't know there was such a piece of fat meat on his lips.
He really sweated for the patriarch. Their Xie family did hold the handle of the Chen family. The patriarch used tricks on both sides, real and fake. I just don't know if the result will be as expected?
If the Chen family chooses to fight to the death, the result is that neither of them will get anything, and the emperor will benefit in the end.
"Yes." Xie Zhan said lightly.
Fighting to the death requires great perseverance.
And people have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.
