231: Chapter 231: The Praying Mantis Hunts the Cicada 231: Chapter 231: The Praying Mantis Hunts the Cicada Meanwhile, in Hai City, another mysterious family, the Zhang Family estate.
The head of the Zhang Family, Zhang Tiande, was standing in a secret meeting room at this moment.
Today’s Heavenly Medicine press conference was watched by all the executives of the Zhang Family.
After watching the conference, the high-level executives of the Zhang Family were sitting in the meeting room with incredibly solemn expressions.
“Gentlemen, what do you think?” Zhang Tiande asked.
“The impact of the Heavenly Medicine technology is enormous, we must seize it,” suggested one executive at the conference table.
“This technology is enough to influence the future of our entire family!
Plus, it might even cure the elder’s illness,” another executive chimed in.
The Zhang family’s revered elder, Zhang Huzhu, was once a martial arts powerhouse, dominating Hai City for decades!
In the early years of the nation’s founding, he even nearly unified the entire underground world of East China.
However, later on, the elder Zhang Huzhu stopped his expansion due to pancreatic cancer.
Over the years, Zhang Huzhu has neared the age of 80, and his cancer has started to spread throughout his body.
The lifespan of Elder Zhang Huzhu might not be much longer.
Inside the meeting room, almost all the high-level members of the Zhang Family proposed that they must take action and snatch it.
Zhang Tiande, as the head of the family, said with a complex look, “Now that the crackdown on black and evil is so fierce, if we make a move at this time, I’m afraid it will attract the attention of the authorities…
With the recent takedowns of various underground organizations…
if we act, we may give them a handle to use against us.”
“Perhaps we should wait, see what the other major families do.
If they don’t make a move, we won’t either,” Zhang Tiande said.
But no sooner had he finished speaking than another subordinate reported seriously, “According to reliable information, the Du Family and the Huang Family…
may have already started making their moves!
Master, we must seize this opportunity.
If the Heavenly Medicine technology falls into the hands of the other two families, once they grow stronger, our family can only wait to be annexed and destroyed!”
Shush!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tiande’s expression changed!
Had the other two major families already made their moves?
They could wait no longer.
With this thought, Zhang Tiande finally gave the order, “Mobilize the assassins, prepare to take action in secret!”
…
In Hai City, a Hongqi sedan was slowly moving along the road.
Lin Shuang was driving, escorting Su Wanqiao back home.
“By the way, with your Heavenly Medicine technology being so powerful, is there a way to cure Granny Xu’s illness?” Lin Shuang suddenly asked.
Granny Xu was still in a coma, and if Su Wanqiao’s Heavenly Medicine could cure her, that would be great news.
But Su Wanqiao shook her head, “Heavenly Medicine can only cure various viral infections and terminal diseases.
Granny Xu is in a coma due to a brain injury, which is not a virus-related illness; the medicinal properties of Heavenly Medicine…
cannot target such trauma-related diseases.”
Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Lin Shuang’s eyes.
“However, don’t worry, I will work together with other medical institutions to discuss and see if there is a way to address Granny Xu’s trauma.
Perhaps there is a chance to repair her brain injury,” Su Wanqiao added.
Only then did Lin Shuang nod.
The Hongqi motorcade was now moving towards the road ahead under the protection of a dozen bodyguard vehicles.
But just at that moment, a chain-reaction rear-end collision happened hundreds of meters ahead on the road.
A dozen cars in front…
due to sudden braking, ended up in a pile-up accident.
The whole road ahead was blocked.
Suddenly, the road was in a massive traffic jam.
But upon seeing the pile-up ahead, Lin Shuang’s gaze slightly sharpened.
Was it finally time to make a move?
He suddenly slammed the accelerator, and the Hongqi sedan surged forward, speeding towards the vehicles involved in the accident!
“Hey!
What are you doing?
There’s been an accident up ahead?
Why are you driving so fast?” Su Wanqiao, sitting in the backseat, sensing something was wrong, urgently yelled out.
