842: Chapter 843 Pre-war Mobilization
A group of people, faces filled with rage, left the Su Family.
Originally, they had co here full of confidence, ready to force Song Xiaodong to submit.
Even if Song Xiaodong didn’t want to lose face and refused to hand over Su Qingmiao, they expected at least so form of compensation.
Who would have thought Song Xiaodong wouldn’t even discuss these matters with them and simply chased them out?
What was even more outrageous was that Song Xiaodong was actually the one who wanted to initiate hostilities.
Cao Fengqing’s face was flushed with anger.
Sitting in the car, he shouted furiously, “This is just intolerable, utterly intolerable!
A snot-nosed brat dares to speak such words, does he truly believe our Cao Family is so easy to bully?”
Zhao Wenqiang said with a pained expression: “So what do we do now?
If the Su Family targets , I really don’t have the strength to resist.”
Cao Fengqing replied grimly: “What’s there to fear?
You have us, the Cao Family, and there’s also the Zhou Family…
right, once the Zhou Family makes a move, what can the Su Family count for?”
Both looked towards Zhou Zhengfang.
Zhou Zhengfang’s expression was dark as he said, “You can rest assured about this.
If he disrespects our Zhou Family like that, if we don’t deal with him, where would our Zhou Family’s face be?
I’ll report back to the Family Head imdiately, and we’ll soon make a series of moves against their Su Family.
You should also be prepared to take action.”
Cao Fengqing imdiately responded: “Good, I’ll go back and get ready.
This ti, we must expel the Su Family from Minghe.”
Zhao Wenqiang was initially hesitant, but recalling the strength of the Zhou Family, which was not sothing the Su Family could provoke, Song Xiaodong’s actions were undoubtedly self-destructive.
Zhou Zhengfang had already shown his stance, so Zhao Wenqiang had no more concerns.
Clenching his teeth, Zhao Wenqiang said resolutely: “Fine!
I will also make preparations.
This ti, I am all in.”
………………
After several people left, Su Qingmiao’s eyes shone as she admired Song Xiaodong, thinking he was truly aweso.
His spirit and presence had completely won her over.
Su Yuya was even more stunned, and after a long mont, she said: “Family Head, are we really going to go to war?”
Song Xiaodong nodded and said, “Get ready.”
“No, no…
we can’t be so hasty.
Conflicts between large families like this haven’t happened in our Su Family for many years, only when I was very little do I rember such an incident.
Now almost everyone in our Su Family has no experience in this.
How will we fight?
What should we do?”
Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said: “In the business realm, we’ll use business tactics.
In the official circles, we’ll use bureaucratic asures.
Against the underground forces, we’ll sweep them away.
What’s so difficult about that?”
“This…” Su Yuya felt that Song Xiaodong was oversimplifying things, given the complexity involved, and said, “I always feel that this kind of direct confrontation is too much.
We’re not afraid of the Cao Family but if the Zhou Family intervenes, our Su Family will likely…
have no chance of winning.”
Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, “How can we know we have no chance without fighting?”
“The Zhou Family’s influence is enormous.
If they take action against our Su Family, the most direct way is to transfer personnel.
Important positions within our Su Family will likely all be taken down, and then the official support in Minghe might no longer back us.
Relying solely on business affairs won’t make us a major family anymore.”
“Moreover…
as soon as our Su Family faces danger, not only the Zhou Family, Cao Family, and Zhao Family, but other major families in Minghe, such as the Sun Family, will want a piece of us.
We will be beset on all sides by enemies, which is more than we can bear in such a huge conflict.”
Listening to Su Yuya’s analysis, Su Qingmiao’s face darkened, and she stamred: “Family Head, is it that serious?
Then…
then I’ll go to them.”
“Foolishness!” Song Xiaodong glared and exclaid: “Without my order, if you dare to go, I’ll skin you.
If the people of our Su Family lack so much spine, we might as well just disband now.”
Su Qingmiao quickly said: “No, no, I’m not spineless.
It’s just that if this really implicates the whole Su Family, I’d rather sacrifice myself.
Moreover, it’s not like they’ll kill , right?”
Song Xiaodong’s expression softened as he said, “Having such determination is comndable.
However, my decision is not just to protect you.
The Cao Family’s ambition is clear as day; you are just an excuse.
Why should our Su Family wait for them to act before retaliating?
That’s too passive.
We need to strike first, destroy their vital forces before they can act against us.”
Slapping her hands together, Su Yuya exclaid: “Well said, Family Head.
I understand your thinking now.
From this mont onwards, I fully support your decision.”
Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, “Then gather the main mbers of the Su Family for a eting.
We must pool our wisdom and efforts for this matter, as it can’t be successful relying on just one or two people.”
Su Yuya nodded and said, “Okay.
But I feel we still need to prepare, at the very least, we need to convince them.
Otherwise, if they drag their feet behind the scenes, it’s going to greatly affect the overall situation.”
That afternoon, the important figures of the Su Family gathered together.
Su Qingmiao first narrated the sequence of events.
Then Su Yuya recounted the day’s confrontation by the three major families, and incidentally ntioned Song Xiaodong’s attitude.
This left the Su Family mbers sowhat dumbfounded.
They had grown accustod to peaceful days, and such a major conflict made everyone feel unsure.
Song Xiaodong glanced over everyone and said: “I know everyone is worried about the possibility of failure, but I can assure you all, the Zhou Family will not make a move.”
The Su Family Eldest Brother hesitated before asking, “Family Head!
How can you guarantee that?”
Song Xiaodong smiled indifferently and said: “I can’t give away the details, but let
put it this way: if the Zhou Family does act, I will leave the Su Family imdiately and return all my shares to the Su Family.
By then, even if you want to make a deal, you’ll have the capital to do so.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up; this ant that their shares would increase.
Song Xiaodong’s face turned serious, “But, if the Zhou Family doesn’t act, you’d better be ready to handle this situation.
It’s not realistic to swallow the Cao Family whole, but we can take over the Zhao Family and then bite off a chunk from the Cao Family.
The benefits of that, I don’t need to tell you, you should already know, right?”
Everyone was joyous, realizing that whether on the attack or defense, either way, it would be greatly beneficial for them, the people of the Su Family.
