To marry into the family in place of his brother? Impossible!

"Damn old man, it's just that he failed once last time, why is he so wary of me?"

Bai Zifeng was somewhat annoyed.

Ever since he was tricked by Jiang Jinhuan last time, his family's opinion of him has plummeted.

Even that bastard child has acknowledged his ancestors.

It's clear that they're planning to give up on themselves.

Fortunately, he still had value in the marriage alliance with the Xiao family, so he was arranged to go to Hong Kong City. The purpose was naturally a marriage alliance, specifically the kind where he would marry into the Xiao family.

"Hmph, you want to kick me out? Don't even think about it!" Bai Zifeng said angrily.

The Bai family is, after all, a powerful and wealthy family, a top-tier one.

It won't be easy for Uncle Tai to turn his businesses into legitimate ones.

The business they openly operate in is nothing compared to the behemoth that is the Bai family.

"Sister Yao, the Bai family is targeting us intentionally, and some of our businesses have suffered significant losses!" A minor leader stood before Sister Yao, bowing his head as he reported.

Uncle Tai's men were able to hold their own against the Qin and Song families in Jiangcheng.

However, the underworld is not very powerful in Hong Kong, not to mention that there are many local tyrants here.

There are still some deeply rooted triads in Hong Kong that are not so easy to deal with!

"The Bai family is backed by the Xiao family. We can't find them even if we search for them, and no one else dares to offend the Xiao family!"

Sister Yao's face was gloomy.

The truth about Hong Kong must be gradually whitewashed; its biggest source of profit remains those shady industries.

Although the industries that are now publicly known have already achieved considerable development.

However, it's unrealistic to completely eradicate these gray industries right now!

After all, there are so many people under his command to support.

Sister Yao's face darkened, and she tapped her fingers on the table. "The Bai family, Bai Zifeng? That bastard is resorting to underhanded tricks!"

She knew that Bai Zifeng had designs on her.

She didn't give Bai Zifeng a friendly look either.

Now, the people targeting them aren't from the underworld of Hong Kong, but the Bai family.

It's obvious that Bai Zifeng was behind this!

Sister Yao is not one of those pretty vases; she got to this position not just because of her looks.

"Sister Yao, why don't we let Brother Chen think of a solution? This can't go on like this!" the man suggested.

Brother Chen, referring to Chen Heng, also known as Jiang Jin Huan, is still using the name Chen Heng!

"Don't mention this again!" Sister Yao refused without hesitation.

The man hesitated, but ultimately said nothing.

Sister Yao told the man to leave, then looked towards Jiang Jinhuan's room and whispered, "I won't allow him to have anything dirty on his hands!"

Unbeknownst to Sister Yao, Jiang Jinhuan 'happened' to run into the person who had just left Sister Yao's office.

"Brother Xiong, I've noticed you've been looking worried lately. Is there some problem you're facing?" Jiang Jinhuan asked with concern.

Brother Xiong paused for a moment, then looked at Jiang Jinhuan as if he wanted to say something, but finally said, "Hehe, it's nothing serious, just a minor issue!"

Jiang Jinhuan narrowed his eyes, then smiled and said, "Brother Xiong, you don't trust me?"

Brother Xiong quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother Chen, please don't misunderstand, I absolutely did not mean to distrust you!"

"We've seen Chen's achievements these past few days. Business is thriving, with orders booked until next year. It's all thanks to Chen. How could we not trust him? But..."

"Just what?"

"But Sister Yao gave the order, and I can't break the rules. I dare not disobey Sister Yao!" Brother Xiong said.

Jiang Jinhuan narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected that Sister Yao would be so wary of him.

It seems the Bai family isn't quite there yet.

But waiting like this wouldn't work either, so he looked at Liangzi beside him.

Liangzi paused for a moment, then nodded at him.

Then he left with Brother Xiong.

Jiang Jinhuan returned to his office.

These days, Sister Yao has handed over all the legitimate businesses that are publicly listed to him to manage.

You could say you trust him a lot.

But none of these are what he wants.

What he wanted was to find out how to obtain evidence of Uncle Tai's crimes.

The way to obtain this evidence is to access those shady industries.

Now that he has the police's backing, he doesn't have to worry about being seen as an accomplice of these people.

This was a rare opportunity for him, a chance to kill Jiang Zhe and Uncle Tai.

"Looks like I need to take the initiative!"

Liangzi returned shortly afterward.

Liangzi was, after all, one of Uncle Tai's men, and he quickly got the information from Brother Xiong.

Sure enough, someone is targeting their shady business.

Although Jiang Jinhuan already knew, he had to pretend to be shocked.

He didn't want anyone to see through his disguise.

Seeing Jiang Jinhuan's expression, Liangzi said, "You can't handle this anyway, so let Sister Yao deal with it!"

Jiang Jinhuan's eyes flashed: "If this matter isn't handled well, our legitimate business will also be affected, and your good days are probably over!"

Upon hearing this, Liangzi and Ergou were furious.

They quickly inquired about the reason.

Jiang Jin Huan said, "Because those industries are still one of your important sources of revenue. The industries that are currently developing well on the surface are doing well, but it will take some time before they become profitable. If the foundation is damaged at this point, all the work done so far will have been in vain!"

This statement is a mix of truth and falsehood, but it makes sense.

Uncle Tai's current businesses all rely on shady sources.

Nightclubs, etc.

"Brother Chen, do you have a solution?" Liangzi immediately became anxious when his own interests were involved.

Er Gou got anxious too and came over!

Jiang Jinhuan pretended to ponder: "That depends on the situation. I don't yet know the specifics of those industries, so I can't offer many ideas. However, I've clashed with the Bai family before. If I were in charge, I would have a way to counterattack!"

That's enough!

He didn't need to say much. As long as Liangzi passed on the message, Uncle Tai would naturally put pressure on Sister Yao and make Jiang Jinhuan find a way to resolve the issue.

The trouble with Sister Yao came much faster than Jiang Jinhuan had anticipated.

For three consecutive days, two shipments of goods were detained at the dock, and after investigation, it was found that the "procedures were incomplete".

The men below went to negotiate, but the other party was polite but wouldn't budge an inch, clearly indicating that someone was pulling strings behind the scenes.

When Brother Xiong returned from outside, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He stormed straight into Sister Yao's office.

"Sister Yao, we've found it." Brother Xiong placed a list on the table. "It's the Bai family. They didn't go through the Xiao family's connections; that old bastard Bai Jianshe invested money in Gangcheng himself, specifically targeting us."

Sister Yao flipped through two pages of the list, then sneered, "That good-for-nothing Bai Zifeng, unable to handle things openly, resorts to underhanded tactics?"

Brother Xiong rubbed his hands together: "The people at the dock said that the Bai family has given them instructions to hold off on any shipments with incomplete paperwork."

They're now bringing up our past mistakes.

Sister Yao, our old stock was always a little dirty; it can't withstand this kind of thorough cleaning.
