Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison

Zheng Hongjun's facial muscles twitched: "How much more?"

"Ten times the original amount!" Shuke gestured a number with his finger.

"What?! Ten times?!" Zheng Hongjun would have jumped up if his legs hadn't been injured. "No, it's just asking you to do it one more time, and you're offering ten times the money? That's way too much! I can't afford it!"

Shuke smiled slyly: "Mr. Zheng is from one of the four major families in Jiangcheng, with assets totaling several billion. Even if you multiply that tenfold, it's still less than a billion. This amount of money is nothing to Mr. Zheng, is it?"

"After all, this is a huge risk for our Assassin's Guild. Who would be willing to do it without extra pay?"

Zheng Hongjun felt an urge to curse.

This is fucking slaughtering him!

Let them deal with a few people, that's a billion bucks!

Unfortunately, he doesn't have a suitable person to do the job right now.

But then I thought about it again, and compared to the Jiang family and Li Qingran's company, this amount of money is really nothing.

If something happens to the Jiang family, he will absorb them, and the four major families will cease to exist, leaving only Zheng Hongjun to call the shots.

"Okay, I can pay more!"

"But you must guarantee me that things will get done!"

"No problem!" Shuke gestured. "Since Mr. Zheng is so sincere, we certainly won't take the money for nothing! Either I'll handle it, or I'll risk my life!"

With this guarantee, Zheng Hongjun reluctantly accepted.

After seeing the group off, he immediately started cursing: "Damn it, a bunch of bastard foreigners, coming to my Chinese territory to ask for exorbitant prices! No way, I can't pay for this all by myself, I have to get others to split the cost!"

After saying that, he picked up his phone and dialed a few numbers.

Before long, two men rushed over.

"Hey, Lao Zheng, it's only been a few days, what happened to you? You've gotten yourself into this state!" Zhu Zhide asked with concern. "Who did this? Tell me, and I'll get revenge for you!"

Zheng Hongjun said irritably, "Chen Huo!"

"Why don't you go and kill him for me, to avenge my hatred!"

"Ah, this..." Zhu Zhide's face turned red as he coughed dryly, "This Chen Huo is a real troublemaker! Old Zheng, why did you even provoke him?"

"Heh, stop talking nonsense. I don't provoke him, but he's causing me trouble. What can I do?" Zheng Hongjun waved his hand. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I called you all here because I have something important to discuss with you!"

"Recently, the Assassin Alliance, a top-tier overseas assassin team, arrived in Jiangcheng. I negotiated with them and took action against Chen Huo and the women around him!"

"But the Assassin's Guild is asking for a high price—two billion!"

"I really can't afford it all by myself, so please split the cost with me!"

Zhu Zhide and Zhou Mancang took a deep breath.

The four major families have deep roots in Jiangcheng, and each of them has a market value of tens or hundreds of billions.

But upon hearing this number, both of them changed their expressions.

"Old Zheng, this price is way too high! They're asking for two billion right off the bat, are they talking the talk?" Zhu Zhide said, scoffing.

"Old Zheng, Chen Huo is no pushover. In my opinion, we should just stop here and avoid causing any more trouble!" Zhou Mancang, being a bit timid and having witnessed Chen Huo's prowess before, advised, "Although we didn't manage to take the position of chairman of the Jiang Family Business Alliance, we are still one of the four major families. It's better to proceed cautiously and steadily, rather than taking unnecessary risks!"

"Hmph, what do you know!" Zheng Hongjun snorted. "Chen Huo and her company have received strong support from the Goddess Pavilion, and now Jiang Aiwei has gotten involved. Once they gain momentum, they will definitely affect us, and at the same time, they will strengthen the Jiang family's power!"

"Think about it, if the Jiang family becomes stronger, will they not have any designs on us?"

"Especially that young lady Jiang Aiwei, she's never taken us seriously!"

"This..." Zhu Zhide and Zhou Mancang both fell into deep thought.

Zheng Hongjun paused for a few minutes before continuing, "On the contrary, if we can handle this, remove Jiang Aiwei, and leave the Jiang family without a successor, then suppress Chen Huo's company and prevent them from recovering, we can join forces to swallow their assets. In the future, there will only be three major families! What is a mere 2 billion compared to this?"

"I'm really short of funds, and since you two are old friends, I'm asking you to share the burden!"

Zhu Zhide and Zhou Mancang's expressions changed repeatedly.

In the arena of fame and fortune, who doesn't want to climb to the top?

They understood the principle that if you don't advance, you fall behind, and if you fall behind, you will be attacked.

"Old Zheng, I'm willing to pay, but is this assassin alliance reliable?" Zhu Zhide asked.

"Nonsense, they're one of the top assassin teams overseas, with a huge reputation! If you don't believe me, you can have someone investigate!" Zheng Hongjun said confidently, "Absolutely reliable!"

Zhou Mancang was still somewhat hesitant: "Two billion is still too high! Old Zheng, I've heard that foreigners charge exorbitant prices! Why don't we just hire local assassins?"

"Old Zhou, you can't try to save money on something like this!" Zheng Hongjun said. "There's no fertile ground for cultivating this kind of assassin team locally. Besides, if something goes wrong and it gets traced back to us, wouldn't that be a huge problem?"

"The Assassin's Guild is an overseas force; once they're done, they can just leave without affecting each other!"

"If you don't want to get involved, then Old Zhu and I can handle it!"

"No way! I never said I wouldn't contribute!" Zhou Mancang gritted his teeth. "Old Zhu and I will each contribute 500 million, and you can come up with the remaining 1 billion!"

Zheng Hongjun feigned a troubled expression and sighed, "Alright, after all, I'm the one who organized this. Although it's a bit difficult, it's only right that I contribute the majority! Let's get the money together quickly and finish this quickly!"

"Okay, I'll have the company finance department transfer the money to you right away!" Zhu Zhide and Zhou Mancang went off to make their own arrangements.

After seeing them off, Zheng Hongjun was all smiles.

All that hard work is not as good as a sudden inspiration.

With this one smooth talk, he didn't have to spend a single penny; the Zhu and Zhou families provided everything, allowing him to reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

"Hmph, Old Zhu, Old Zhou, do you two really think a free lunch will fall from the sky?"

"Once I've swallowed up the Jiang family, it'll be your turn!"

"If you behave, I might give you some soup! If you don't, you'll all perish along with the Jiang family..."

Zheng Hongjun sneered. Suddenly, his phone rang. Seeing it was a call from the Earth Immortal Society, he immediately answered, "Hey, brother, what can I do for you?"

"How's it going?" the other party asked.

"It's all arranged! Brother, I really owe a debt of gratitude to the Earth Immortal Society for introducing me to the Assassin's Alliance!" Zheng Hongjun said with a fawning smile. "After it's all done, I guarantee you'll get your share of the rewards!"

"Hehe, as for the benefits, I don't care! But you must remember, you did this yourself, so don't get involved with the Earth Immortals Association, or you'll cause me trouble!"

"Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, I, Zheng Hongjun, will take full responsibility!"
