You were made to take the blame and go to jail, but you weren't made a master of both medicine

Shen Mancheng looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Everyone, let me introduce myself first. My name is Shen Mancheng. My father, Shen Tian, ​​is the chairman of the Shanghai Military Industry Group. I believe you are all familiar with the Shen family of Shanghai."

Everyone whispered among themselves after hearing this.

It turned out that the person who summoned them was the young master of the Shen family.

The Shen family of Shanghai, backed by military enterprises, has a vast network of connections that stretches across the entire country.

The Shen family can be considered a prominent family in the Heavenly Palace.

He was truly second only to the emperor and above all others.

At the same time, Wu Weitao, the head of the Wu family, keenly sensed something and was the first to speak.

"Young Master Shen, I've long admired your name. May I ask why you've summoned us here?"

Shen Mancheng also looked at Wu Weitao: "Chairman Wu, you are the head of the Wu family, one of the five great families in Xijing. Your name is renowned. It is truly an honor to meet you today."

"Young Master Shen, you're too kind. Actually, I've wanted to get to know you for a long time, but I just haven't had the chance," Wu Weitao said, bowing and scraping.

At this moment, Qin Ran's expression turned amused.

Wu Weitao is clearly trying to curry favor with Shen Mancheng.

Qin Ran was no stranger to him.

Qin Ran had never dealt with Wu Weitao, but he was very familiar with Wu Weitao's son, Wu Junhao.

Wu Junhao had suffered several losses at Han Yang's hands before and had been taught a lesson several times.

In the end, they were beaten into submission and dared not cause any more trouble.

At the same time, Qin Ran realized Shen Mancheng's purpose in gathering these people.

Unsurprisingly, he wanted to win over these prominent local families in Xijing.

Looking at Shen Mancheng again, his smile became even more pronounced: "I know you are all curious as to why I called you all here tonight, so I won't beat around the bush."

"You are all leaders of large families and enterprises in Xijing, and you all belong to the Lingtian Chamber of Commerce. I am also good friends with the vice president of the Lingtian Chamber of Commerce."

"So, I want to become a family with everyone, to make money together and face difficulties together in the future."

"I think you all know the power of the Shen family in Shanghai. By submitting to our Shen family, you will definitely not suffer losses. What do you all think?"

After hearing this, the crowd whispered among themselves again.

It turns out that Shen Mancheng wanted to win them over so they could work for the Shen family.

The intricacies of the relationship are clear to everyone.

Everyone is weighing the pros and cons.

Gu Xinrou leaned close to Qin Ran's ear and whispered, "It seems the Shen family has something big planned, which is why they're trying to win us over. I can't make that decision myself; I'll have to consult your second master."

Qin Ran smiled.

The second master is the mysterious big boss behind the Black Emperor Consortium.

He really needs to agree to this.

Gu Xinrou has no say in the matter.

Qin Ran, however, felt that there was no need to go to such lengths.

"There's no need to consult my second master. I'll make the decision. No matter what others choose, we absolutely cannot collude with the Shen family."

"Are you sure you don't need to consult your second master? The Shen family in Shanghai is no ordinary family. This family is several times, or even dozens of times, more powerful than any family you've ever encountered before," Gu Xinrou whispered.

Qin Ran chuckled.

He had previously worked with Shen Man.

That's all there is to it.

That's all there is to it.

He doesn't take it seriously at all.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Qin Ran said calmly.

Shen Mancheng noticed that everyone was whispering among themselves, but he remained calm and unhurried.

Give them some time to think it over.

Shen Mancheng leisurely smoked a cigar.

At the same time, Wu Weitao set an example: "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Shen. My Wu family is willing to work together with the Shen family in the future and serve you faithfully."

"Hahaha, Chairman Wu is indeed a man of principle. Don't worry, from now on we're all one family. Your Wu family's affairs are my Shanghai Shen family's affairs."

"Thank you for your kind offer, Young Master Shen."

Shen Mancheng continued, "Distinguished board members and family heads, Chairman Wu has already expressed his opinion. What about you all?"

Everyone looked at each other, observing.

Seeing this, Fu Guonan said, "How about this, those who want to join the Shen family come to the right, and those who don't want to go to the left. Everyone, hurry up."

After Fu Guonan spoke, everyone began to express their opinions.

Many people voluntarily sat down to Fu Guonan's right.

When all the seats were taken, they stood at the back.

Shen Mancheng was very pleased with himself.

This is the formidable power of the Shen family in Shanghai.

These people dared not disobey.

Soon, only Qin Ran, Gu Xinrou, the Chu family father and son, and Wei Guochang, the head of the Wei family, remained on the left.

The Wei family is also among the five major families.

However, Qin Ran had never had any dealings with this family.

Soon, Shen Mancheng's gaze turned to the left.

He spotted Qin Ran sitting at the very back immediately.

This piece of trash is here too.

Perfect, I'll use him to establish my authority.

Fu Guonan was surprised to find that Qin Ran was also present.

There were so many people that he didn't even notice.

Shen Mancheng exhaled smoke: "Chairman Wu, Chairman Chu, and President Gu of the Black Emperor Group, it seems you don't want to be part of the Shen family?"

Chu Zhenlong said with a forced smile, "We appreciate Young Master Shen's kindness, but our Chu family has its own principles. Every family has its own problems, so please forgive us, Young Master Shen."

Wei Guochang chimed in, "Our Wei family has always been independent and doesn't like to take orders from anyone or be subservient to others. Please forgive us, Young Master Shen."

Shen Mancheng's expression grew increasingly grim.

His ultimate goal tonight is to take down the five major families.

But now the Chu family and the Wei family are not giving him face, where does that leave him with his dignity?

"Everyone, you'd better think this through. If you don't want to be part of the Shen family, then you'll only become enemies!" Shen Mancheng said sinisterly.

Qin Ran sneered and picked up the thread: "So what if we're enemies? The Shen family is nothing. This is Xijing, it's not your place to run wild here. Looks like I didn't hit you hard enough yesterday."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes instinctively turned to Qin Ran.

Are he and Shen Mancheng enemies?

He hit Shen Mancheng yesterday.

Could it be that even the Shen family is no match for Qin Ran?

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have been so reckless.

We should stand in the same position as Qin Ran.

Shen Mancheng stood up, her gaze sharp as she looked at Qin Ran: "Qin Ran, I haven't forgotten what happened at the resort yesterday. I also know that you are a notorious local bully in Xijing, and I also know that the person behind you is Huangfu Junxiong."

"But I don't believe that anyone in the entire Dragon Kingdom can subdue you. I will show you what kind of methods those living in the Heavenly Palace have."

Qin Ran glanced at Shen Mancheng and said, "Yesterday you threatened me, saying that your Shen family is a military-industrial enterprise, and you keep bringing it up. Today you're emphasizing that you're from the Heavenly Palace."

"You're a fucking clown, you're nothing but a worthless piece of trash in my eyes."

"And all of you, all of you eagerly following him to become his family. Use your brains to think about it, does he want you to be his father or his son? A bunch of idiots."

The group of people on the other side had complicated expressions after hearing this.

Many people regret it.

Without understanding the situation, they chose their positions.

As Shen Mancheng just mentioned, Qin Ran's backer is Huangfu Junxiong.

No wonder he's doing so well in Xi'an.

In that sense, his strength and that of the Shen family can be considered to be evenly matched.

Shen Mancheng roared, "Qin Ran, shut your dog mouth! Today I'm going to show everyone how I take down this local bully, and I'll also let them see the true strength of the Shen family."

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of masked cultivators stormed into the reception room.

This team is called the Hidden Dragon Guard.

It is the most mysterious force within the Shen family.

Each of them was a master.

The leader was also a martial arts master.

The Martial Saint is a being who surpasses even the Grandmaster.

It's easy to imagine how powerful the Shen family is.

The Hidden Dragon Guard is a mysterious team because they have no names, only code names.

They never show their true faces to others under normal circumstances.

Apart from a few high-ranking members of the Shen family, no one else has ever seen their true faces.

They hid within the Shen family like ghosts.

They will appear whenever the Shen family needs them...
