The young master’s black stone landed, and instantly the twelve white stones on the chessboard were depleted, eerily turning into dust that scattered into the side pond once more.
Fish within surged out of the water as if trying to swallow all the dust.
Then, the handsome man said indifferently, "No rush. First, investigate Ling Feng’s identity. Give the Wuhu Group some breathing room, and let them continue to entangle with Ling Feng."
"Yes!"
The black-robed man bowed respectfully and then departed.
...
Inside Ling Feng’s villa, Sun Zhange and the others had just been sent away by Ling Feng.
Zhao Wenjie stood respectfully beside Ling Feng, unable to suppress his curiosity. He bowed and asked, "Heavenly Venerable, why don't we just eliminate the Wuhu Group directly?"
Ling Feng glanced back at Zhao Wenjie, his eyes icy and tinged with a hint of anger.
"Idiot! Have you considered the consequences of deploying the army to kill so many people?!"
Zhao Wenjie bowed in fear, but he was still confused. Even if this matter truly attracted serious attention from higher-ups, who could interfere with the Northern King’s vendetta? A charge could easily be fabricated against the Wuhu Group and the others.
Seeing Zhao Wenjie nodding vigorously but looking bewildered, Yang Fei shook his head and explained, "Wenjie, do you think Heavenly Venerable is worried about the impact on the war zone?"
Zhao Wenjie nodded again, looking confused.
"Heh, then you are mistaken!" Yang Fei chuckled.
Zhao Wenjie was taken aback and turned to cup his hands towards Yang Fei, "Please enlighten me!"
Yang Fei nodded and continued, "Today, Lei Zhengtang made it very clear that over seventy percent of the leading enterprises in Hanjiang were controlled by them. If we directly eliminated them, the impact would be too immense!"
Pausing slightly, Yang Fei saw that Zhao Wenjie was beginning to understand and concluded, "Eliminating them now would plunge Hanjiang into chaos!"
Zhao Wenjie suddenly realized, his face contorting with anger, and he gritted his teeth in resentment, "Are we just going to let them continue like this?"
Yang Fei shook his head and continued, "As Heavenly Venerable said before, as long as a new economic system is established, they can be completely replaced. It will just take a little time."
Tang Long, hearing this, couldn't help but exclaim.
"So, Heavenly Venerable gave them a month? He actually wants to use this month to completely eradicate them! And without any impact on Hanjiang! Brilliant!"
As Tang Long’s exclamation subsided, Tang Ru, holding Ling Xiaoran, walked over with a look of disdain, "To support a force that can replace the Wuhu Group? That’s not so easy! Let alone a month, I’m afraid it won’t be achieved in a year!"
Tang Ru’s words choked Tang Long, his old face instantly flushing red.
Zhao Wenjie also couldn't help but smile wryly, shaking his head and muttering, "Yes, there are no forces under Hanjiang with such potential. The Cheng family might have had it, but unfortunately, the Cheng family will also be purged from Hanjiang this time to prevent future trouble..."
Seeing others shaking their heads, a hint of disdain appeared on Yang Fei’s face.
How could these people, with their limited vision and breadth of mind, speculate about Heavenly Venerable’s strategy?
"Others may not be able to do it, but Heavenly Venerable certainly can!" Yang Fei did not hide his almost faith-like admiration for Ling Feng.
Everyone present was suddenly shaken.
Yes, others might not be able to, but Ling Feng might!
"Yang Fei, you’re talking too much. Where are the things you were asked to prepare?" Ling Feng suddenly put down his teacup and turned to ask Yang Fei.
Yang Fei immediately bowed and handed all the documents in his hand to Ling Feng.
"They were all collected this morning. These are the profiles of entrepreneurs who have no connection with the Wuhu Group!"
Ling Feng took them casually.
Zhao Wenjie on the side gasped and exclaimed in surprise to Yang Fei, "Weren't we preparing for the funeral this morning? How did these documents..."
Yang Fei smiled proudly, "Heh, when we learned yesterday that this matter was related to the Wuhu Group, Heavenly Venerable had already ordered these documents to be collected!"
"Ah?"
Zhao Wenjie couldn't help but exclaim.
Yang Fei said proudly, "Do you think Heavenly Venerable is invincible because of what? Everything is under Heavenly Venerable’s control! Even when dealing with these small fries, he is several steps ahead. No matter how they advance step by step, they will be routed!"
Zhao Wenjie and Tang Long exchanged glances, then smiled self-deprecatingly.
Compared to Ling Feng, they were truly a bunch of imbeciles!
Zhao Wenjie and the others were still marveling at Ling Feng’s strategic planning.
The next moment, they were stunned again as they watched Ling Feng’s actions.
Ling Feng rapidly flipped through the documents. After just one glance, a large pile of them was discarded.
At the same time, he selected a few documents and set them aside.
This... he’s already finished selecting?
Could Ling Feng’s eyes be scanners?
All those geniuses who could read ten lines at a glance were nothing compared to Ling Feng!
Yang Fei had evidently developed some resistance to all this and immediately bowed to take a few documents from Ling Feng.
Then, before Yang Fei could even look at the documents for a moment.
Ling Feng directly beckoned Tang Ru, "Tang Ru, come here."
"Ah?" Tang Ru was slightly taken aback, then glanced at Tang Long before walking to Ling Feng’s side, biting her lower lip.
"What is it?"
Ling Feng glanced at Tang Ru and casually asked, "Tang Zhao is your father, isn't he?"
