Three days later,
With the mediation of the Tang, Cao, and Wang families, today was the day for the Han and Gou families to hold peace talks.
The venue for the talks was the VIP suite of the Jiru Grand Hotel, scheduled for ten o'clock in the morning.
At that time,
Under the joint witness of the three major influential families,
The Gou family father and son, along with Gou Xingzhi, would present tea and apologize to all members of the Han family, including Ma Long and Wang Fang, as required.
Simultaneously, the legal departments of both companies would be present to hand over the market shares in the Yiyang and Pingyang districts.
Of course, for the current Han family, the matter of ceding territory and paying reparations was not the main focus.
"Everyone, please remember, for us, peace talks are not mandatory. Therefore, when we meet the Gou family later, if you feel their attitude of apology deviates in the slightest, we can terminate these peace talks at any time!"
Han Lang and his group, including Old Master Cao and Tang Haoran, had already arrived at the lounge adjacent to the VIP suite of the Jiru Grand Hotel.
Before the appointed time, he reiterated the significance of these peace talks to the Han family for everyone present.
Old Master Cao also chimed in, "Brother Han is right! No matter what the Gou family does, you must not let yourselves be wronged."
"Indeed! My Tang family and the Cao family will unconditionally support any decision you make. Please do not have any psychological burden!"
Hearing the protection from Tang Haoran and Old Master Cao, Han Zhongyi was deeply moved.
"Patriarch Tang, Master Cao, thank you for thinking so highly of my Han family!"
Tang Haoran and Old Master Cao smiled and waved their hands, indicating that Han Zhongyi need not be so polite.
Han Lang checked the time, "Alright! It's about time, let's go!"
Everyone stood up upon hearing this.
Han Lang walked straight ahead, gently holding Luo Jiaying's hand, leading the way; Han Kang and Cao Xueryong supported Old Master Cao on his left and right; Han Zhongyi walked politely with Tang Haoran, chatting and laughing; Su Su, accompanied by Wang Fang and Ma Long, followed closely behind;
The distance between the lounge and the VIP suite was not far, and everyone soon arrived at the door of the VIP suite.
Just as Han Lang was about to push the door open, Luo Jiaying suddenly grabbed his hand.
Everyone looked at Luo Jiaying with suspicion and confusion.
Luo Jiaying, however, did not speak. She simply made a "shushing" gesture to everyone, signaling them to quiet down and listen carefully.
Only then did everyone notice the voices of Wang Shan and Gou Feng from inside the suite.
"Ah Feng, I'm not one to talk, but your courage is growing weaker. A mere Han family has you so abject and subservient, it's a far cry from your former glory!"
Gou Feng's tone was filled with helplessness.
"Brother Wang! I have no choice. My son, Gou Tuizhi, was severely injured and was just discharged from the hospital yesterday. Isn't that a warning from the Han family?"
Wang Shan snorted, "Hmph! What you're saying are all excuses. Back in the day, you, with the strength of a second-tier family, brought down the Ye family, then the head of the eight great families, and replaced them. What spirit you had! But now? You no longer live up to your reputation as 'Mad Dog'!"
Ye family?
Hearing this, Han Lang seemed to recall something.
Gou Feng's next words further confirmed his guess.
"It's been more than ten years ago, Brother Wang, why bring it up? Besides, no matter how powerful Ye Wuji was back then, he was just an ordinary person. But the current Han family..."
Boom!
It was like a thunderclap in Han Lang's mind!
Ye Wuji,
Isn't that...
The father of the Divine Farmer Heavenly Doctor?
Han Lang's blood surged, unsure if his anger stemmed from the Divine Farmer Heavenly Doctor deep within his soul or from his own consciousness.
But then,
Even more shocking news followed.
Wang Shan said disdainfully to Gou Feng, "So what? Are the Luo Zhaoyang couple simple? Weren't they also dealt with by an ordinary person like me in the Letian Building? So, you really have no need to be afraid!"
All the Han family members were stunned to hear this.
Luo Zhaoyang,
Isn't that the name of Luo Jiaying's father?
Han Lang was shocked beyond measure. He slowly turned his head stiffly to look at Luo Jiaying.
Luo Jiaying had already burst into tears.
She nodded at Han Lang, her voice choked with sobs, "This voice, it's the same voice I heard at home a year ago!"
Han Lang suddenly understood!
No wonder Luo Jiaying had stopped him from entering.
It turned out she had recognized Wang Shan's voice as the one that had deceived her parents back then!
She hadn't spoken out directly because she was repeatedly confirming!
Who would have thought that Wang Shan would reveal the truth himself!
Uncle Luo and Aunt Fang,
They indeed did not commit suicide!
"Bang!"
Han Lang, furious, kicked open the suite door and charged in. The others followed suit, filing in.
Wang Shan and the Gou family members inside were startled.
Upon seeing Han Lang, Gou Feng even smiled and prepared to greet him.
But Han Lang, without a word, directly reached out with his right hand and grabbed his neck. He continued forward without stopping, dragging him towards Wang Shan, and with his left hand gripping his throat, he forcefully pressed them both against the wall.
Gou Xingzhi and Gou Tuizhi were greatly alarmed and rushed forward to stop him, but they could not move Han Lang's arm at all.
Tang Haoran, not knowing why Han Lang had suddenly lost his temper, quickly led Han Kang and Ma Long to intervene upon seeing this.
Ma Long and Han Kang were also worried that Han Lang might do something foolish in a fit of anger, so they immediately rushed to Han Lang's side with Tang Haoran.
Han Lang was too enraged to speak, his brow furrowed, and his eyes were so red they seemed to be bleeding.
As if he hadn't seen Tang Haoran and the other two, he glared fiercely at Gou Feng and Wang Shan, his hands tightening their grip.
Seeing Gou Feng and Wang Shan's faces turn increasingly red, Han Kang and Ma Long became even more anxious.
If Han Lang were to kill Gou Feng and Wang Shan in front of everyone, the consequences would undoubtedly be unimaginable.
Thinking of this,
The two quickly grabbed Han Lang's shoulders from both sides, disregarding everything else, and pushed him back with all their might.
"Cough cough... ugh~"
Freed, Gou Feng and Wang Shan both touched their necks, breathing heavily and coughing incessantly.
After recovering slightly, Wang Shan angrily charged towards Han Lang.
If Tang Haoran hadn't stopped him, he would have wanted to punch Han Lang twice.
Even so, it did not stop him from verbally abusing Han Lang.
"Are you crazy! I'm kindly here to talk peace, and you want to kill me! Believe it or not, I can wipe out your Han family in minutes!"
Hearing this, Han Lang was utterly enraged and was about to charge forward again, but he was forcefully held back by Han Kang and Ma Long.
"Brother, brother, you can't touch him! Don't forget your identity!"
Ma Long, unaware of the reason for Han Lang's outburst, echoed Han Kang's plea, "Yes, Young Master! We can figure out how to deal with him when we get back. You can't be impulsive now!"
The obstruction and persuasion from the two allowed Han Lang to regain some reason.
He no longer charged forward mindlessly,
But his heaving chest showed that he was still full of rage!
"Well done, Wang family! Well done, Gou family! You two listen closely..."
Han Lang gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with anger as he glared at the two.
"From today onwards, my Han family declares an unending feud with your Gou family! An unending feud with your Wang family!"
Unending feud?
The Gou family was stunned.
Weren't they here for reconciliation today? How did it suddenly escalate to an unending feud?
Not only the Gou family, but Tang Haoran, Old Master Cao, Wang Fang, and Ma Long were also puzzled by Han Lang's sudden change in attitude.
However, Han Lang, pulling Luo Jiaying, whose face was streaked with tears, left the suite.
Seeing this, everyone quickly followed.
Before leaving, Old Master Cao deliberately knocked hard on the door twice with his hand, with a meaningful look!
Tang Haoran also patted Wang Shan on the chest and paused at the doorway. He then looked back at Wang Shan and Gou Feng and said in a low voice.
"Brother Wang, it seems that it's been many years since the battle of the influential families began in Lecheng, hasn't it?"
