Chapter 1198: Chapter 1198: The Chen Family in Crisis
At this critical mont of life and death.
It’s better to clarify so things in advance.
After all, these people at the Chen Family headquarters.
Many of them were recruited by the Chen Family from outside.
They have only joined the Chen Family for a short ti and don’t have deep feelings.
They also don’t need to die for the Chen Family, or share its survival.
So, Mu Dongcheng wants to lay everything out clearly.
So that they have ntal preparation in advance.
Whether to leave or stay, he wants to return the decision to them.
At this point.
The Chen Family absolutely cannot continue to be the villain.
In the council hall.
Mu Dongcheng stood at the forefront of everyone in the Chen Family.
He had already told everyone about the fall of Family Head Chen Feng and the impending siege of the Chen Family headquarters by the Zhao Family from Beijing.
At this mont, the council hall was utterly silent.
Everyone was imrsed in silence.
Just like that, about another ten minutes passed.
Mu Dongcheng cleared his throat twice, looked at everyone, and continued: "That’s the situation, that’s the matter, our Chen Family is currently facing such a desperate situation, so we called you all here today to make everything clear to you."
"Next, whether you choose to leave, the Chen Family will not hold you back. We are very grateful for your contributions during this ti. Of course, if you wish to stay and fight alongside the Chen Family, we would warmly welco you. The decision is in your hands; you make your own choice!"
As soon as Mu Dongcheng finished speaking.
Everyone present imdiately looked at each other, their faces full of conflict.
As ntioned earlier.
Many of them were previously recruited by the Chen Family from outside.
Or they joined the Chen Family on their own, seeing it as a powerful force.
The true direct mbers of the Chen Family were few.
After all, the Chen Family had been established for too short a ti to cultivate its own direct line.
There were only a few individuals.
Most of the mbers were composed of outsiders.
So now, the Chen Family’s influence had waned.
The thoughts of these people naturally started to change.
Just as Mu Dongcheng expected.
Many among them were not absolutely loyal to the Chen Family.
When they initially joined the Chen Family.
They did so because of its power, a big tree under which it was comfortable to rest.
But now the Chen Family seed to be on the verge of collapse.
As the saying goes, when a tree falls, the monkeys scatter.
They naturally all wanted to leave.
Just like that, another three minutes of silence ensued in the hall.
At that mont, one of the mbers stepped forward, looked at Mu Dongcheng, and gave a sheepish smile, saying: "Housekeeper Mu, I have a wife and children at ho; I really can’t stay and coexist with the Chen Family, so I ask for your understanding."
"Understood!"
Mu Dongcheng nodded.
"Thank you!"
The mber nodded back and then imdiately turned and walked out of the hall.
His departure marked his complete detachnt from the Chen Family, severing all ties.
With the first one leaving.
Many who had already made up their minds also stood up one after another to bid farewell to Mu Dongcheng.
"Housekeeper Mu, I am still young, I don’t want to die, so I am really sorry, farewell!"
"Housekeeper Mu, my mother is old, and I am her only son. I have to be there for her, so I cannot die!"
"Housekeeper Mu, I have a disabled brother to take care of. If I die, he wouldn’t survive either, please understand!"
"Housekeeper Mu, I..."
...
Soon, more than half of the people in the hall had left.
Watching their departing backs.
Mu Dongcheng felt a chill in his heart.
Even though he said beforehand that anyone who wanted to leave would not be stopped.
And he indeed did as he promised.
But seeing these people walk away just like that, with such weak excuses, was truly disheartening.
Thinking back, when these mbers joined the Chen Family, the Chen Family did not treat them poorly, giving them the best of everything.
But now?
This is human nature!
Incredibly real.
And at this mont.
In the vast council hall.
Only a small number of people still remained seated.
Mu Dongcheng glanced at them, frowned, and asked in confusion: "Why didn’t you leave? Don’t you have anything to take care of at ho?"
"Housekeeper Mu, I don’t have anyone in need of care at ho, so I decided to stay and share the fate of the Chen Family!"
One of them spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Mu Dongcheng was taken aback.
At this ti, the others remaining also began to speak:
"Housekeeper Mu, when we first joined the Chen Family, it treated us well. To leave the Chen Family during such a crisis would be inhumane!"
"Yes, Housekeeper Mu, didn’t you just say that those who wish to leave would not be retained, but those who stay would be welcod? We have prepared to stay and share the fate of the Chen Family!"
"Exactly, the Chen Family is our ho, without it, how could we survive? We decided to stay and fight the damned Zhao Family to the end!"
...
Hearing these words.
The heart of Mu Dongcheng, which had already grown cold, began to warm a little.
At least not everyone in the Chen Family were ingrates, there was still so loyalty.
For this alone.
Mu Dongcheng felt a bit gratified!
"Good, with your words, it’s enough. I believe if the Family Head knows from up above, he would also be very gratified. Co on, let’s fight to the end for the Chen Family!"
Mu Dongcheng, with reddened eyes, said tearfully.
"Fight to the end! Fight to the end!"
The remaining voices echoed together.
Just then, the council hall door was pushed open from the outside.
A guard responsible for watching the headquarters’ entrance rushed in, panting as he reported to Mu Dongcheng: "Report to the Housekeeper, the Tang Family has co!"
"The Tang Family?"
Mu Dongcheng frowned at these words, a touch of doubt arising on his face.
After all, after the situation with the Chen Family occurred.
All forces that could avoid it would, fearing any association with the Chen Family.
Even those that were friends with the Chen Family in the past avoided them like the plague.
But at this mont.
The Tang Family actually ca.
Are they not afraid of getting involved in trouble?
Thinking of this, Mu Dongcheng furrowed his brows.
With this doubt in mind, Mu Dongcheng directly said to the guard: "Go, invite the people from the Tang Family here!"
"Yes!"
The guard nodded and hurriedly turned to leave.
About ten minutes later.
The guard returned.
This ti, he was accompanied by a group of people.
These were the people from the Tang Family.
Leading them was the elder of the Tang Family, Tang Xiaoyun.
And following him were several powerful figures from the Tang Family.
The last ti, when Liu Li and the Zhao Family tead up to besiege Chen Feng by the Artificial Lake.
Tang Xiaoyun brought these powerful figures to provide support.
And this ti, he brought them all again.
