339: Chapter 339: Technological Breakthrough!
The person who arrived was none other than Xiang Beiqiang!
How does this old man dare to show up?
“Xiang Beiqiang?
You haven’t run away yet?
The Du Family has been wiped out, what are you still doing in Hai City?” Zhang Ding’s voice was cold and harsh as he questioned.
Zhang Ding had no good feelings toward this Xiang Beiqiang.
Decades ago, it was Xiang Beiqiang himself who had pushed forward the campaign against gangsters, which led to the collective hiding and changing of names of their four great families, retreating to the pugilistic world and daring not to meddle in worldly affairs.
Back then, Xiang Beiqiang had acted so ruthlessly that he almost completely eradicated the four great families.
Thus, the Zhang Family had a deep grudge against Xiang Beiqiang.
Xiang Beiqiang, holding a wreath, walked into the funeral scene.
First, he placed a wreath for the deceased, Zhang Tiande, then bowed respectfully to pay his respects.
“Young Master Zhang, don’t worry.
I, Xiang, have come today merely to pay homage to an old friend.
Hey, did you really think back then that I wanted to suppress your four great families?
If I had truly been ruthless back then, your four great families wouldn’t exist today.
In fact, I’ve always had a good relationship with your father,” Xiang Beiqiang said with a profound voice.
Upon hearing these words, Crown Prince Zhang Ding’s expression became solemn.
Xiang Beiqiang revealed a secret from the past.
In reality, he had always been in a secret alliance with the four great families.
Otherwise, given Xiang Beiqiang’s style of conduct back then, the four great families would have been taken down long ago and would not have survived to this day.
Today, as an old friend had died, and as an ally from the past, Xiang Beiqiang naturally came to pay tribute.
After paying tribute to his old friend, Xiang Beiqiang called Crown Prince Zhang Ding to the side.
Suddenly, Xiang Beiqiang spoke in a low voice, “Young Master Zhang Ding, your father didn’t die from heart disease, did he?
He was killed by Lin Shuang, right?”
Swish!
At these words, Crown Prince Zhang Ding’s expression changed!
“How do you know?!” Zhang Ding asked coldly.
He had always announced to the outside world that his father died from heart disease.
How could Xiang Beiqiang know this insider information?
Xiang Beiqiang shook his head and sighed, “My informants are spread throughout Jiangnan City, how could I not know?”
“Young Master Zhang Ding, about your father’s revenge…
do you really intend to let it go?
The hatred for your father’s murder cannot coexist under the same sky.
Are you really planning to let Lin Shuang and Su Wanqiao off?” Xiang Beiqiang asked with a ghostly tone.
Zhang Ding’s eyes reddened with resentment as he spoke, “With the current intense crackdown on gangsters, any slight move from us will attract attention from above.
What can I do?”
Xiang Beiqiang leaned in close to him, his voice deep, “Don’t worry about the crackdown on gangsters.
I’ve been in the temple system for decades; I have my connections.
I’ll help you suppress the public opinion against the crackdown.
You, just make your move.
Kill Lin Shuang, take down the Su Corporation, and share the technology of Heavenly Medicine with me.”
At these words, Zhang Ding’s gaze sharpened, “But with just my Zhang Family, even if we fight with Lin Shuang, it will only result in mutual destruction.
Don’t forget, he has just taken over the Du Family and possesses their power.”
Xiang Beiqiang, in a profound voice, slowly said, “You can rest assured, my nephew.
I will draw in the other two great families.
When the time comes…
with the three families joining hands, plus me, we will take down the Su Corporation together.
As long as we four join forces, we will be the ones to rule this territory of Hai City.”
Hearing this, Zhang Ding’s gaze became slightly focused.
He was tempted.
“If you can draw in the other two great families, then my Zhang Family is willing to make a move,” Zhang Ding said slowly.
Xiang Beiqiang smiled and stretched out his hand, “Young Master Zhang, then it’s a deal.”
Zhang Ding shook his hand, and both of their eyes revealed their sharp glints.
…
That day, Xiang Bei paid a visit to the other two great families, the Xu Family and the Huang Family.
He voiced his desire to join forces and together target the Su Corporation.
But the old and cunning Xiang Beiqiang hit a wall with those two families.
Just as shrewd, the heads of the Xu Family and the Huang Family tactfully declined Xiang Beiqiang’s offer of alliance and cooperation.
Neither of the two great families wanted to get involved in these murky waters.
With such an intense crackdown on gangsters, no one wanted to be the one to stand out.
So if they could develop peacefully, they would choose peaceful development.
They would rather forgo the technology of Heavenly Medicine…
…than have their families annihilated.
They weren’t afraid of Lin Shuang, but of the crackdown on gangsters and its powerful momentum.
…
During this time, Hai City fell into a brief period of calm.
Su Wanqiao had been staying in the company’s research and development department these days,, researching the technology of Heavenly Medicine.
After many days of research, she finally made a breakthrough with the technology of Heavenly Medicine.
That afternoon, Lin Shuang was sitting in his office surfing the internet.
Suddenly, the office door was pushed open, and Su Wanqiao entered in a white research lab coat.
“Why didn’t you change your clothes?” Lin Shuang asked, puzzled.
“There’s hope,” Su Wanqiao said earnestly, her beautiful eyes filled with gravity.
Lin Shuang was startled, “What’s hopeful??”
Su Wanqiao looked at him seriously and said, “The technology of Heavenly Medicine has made a breakthrough, and there’s hope to heal Grandmother Xu’s injury.”
Swish!
Hearing this, Lin Shuang stood up in an instant!
