Xu Hao gazed into the distance, pondered for a moment, and said, "The Zhou Family spent a great deal moving their entire clan, which not only depleted their resources but also harmed the common people. Most importantly, they lost all the foundations they had built over the years."
However, they still decided to do so because I think they must have had compelling reasons to leave," he said.
Liu Ruyan said, "Their family clashed with us over the exclusive rights to the Antony jade material, and Zhou Yang from the Zhou Family has attempted multiple assassinations on you in Huadu City. They probably knew there's a rat among them and knew you wouldn't let them go. Therefore, as they saw your power growing, they had no choice but to move away."
Xu Hao nodded slightly and said, "That's true, but I feel there must be other reasons we don't know about. Otherwise, why would they choose this critical moment to leave?"
Liu Ruyan thought carefully and immediately said, "Are you suggesting the high concentration of Evil Qi at the company's headquarters?"
Xu Hao slowly analyzed, "Originally, it was impossible for so much Evil Qi to exist within the company, yet it appeared because a sorcerer created it. However, after I broke the sorcery and killed the sorcerer, they moved away, which made me suspect whether this could be the doing of the members of the Zhou Family?"
Liu Ruyan considered this and said, "It's not impossible! However, if it truly was their doing, they should have moved right away. It's been more than ten days since the Evil Qi incident ended." This chapter is part of the collection on *.
Xu Hao said, "That's the only doubt, but... it could also be a smoke screen deliberately released by them!"
"What do you mean?" Liu Ruyan asked, puzzled.
"If they had left immediately after resolving the incident, anyone but a fool could have linked the two events and deduced that the Zhou Family was behind it. But by waiting until the situation cooled down before leaving, they could avoid that suspicion."
"But if they chose to oppose us, why would they still fear us?"
Xu Hao shook his head slightly and said, "No, this is a tactic to buy time and throw us off their trail. By the time we realize it, it will already be too late."
"So what should we do?" At this point, Liu Ruyan was completely captivated by Xu Hao's analysis and had no idea what to do.
"Disrupt their plans!"
Xu Hao spoke with a chilling tone, "Since they want time, I will not give them the time!"
"Ring ring! Ring ring!"
Just then, Xu Hao's phone suddenly rang.
Xu Hao answered the call and said, "Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, Divine Doctor Xu, this is You Yaozong. I receive numerous threatening messages every day, making me terrified and unable to sleep. I feel that if this continues, I will go completely mad!"
Xu immediately said, "Director You, rest assured, I will start heading to Huadu City right now. I promised to help you with this matter, and I will resolve it for you!"
"Really? Thank you so much!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Hao smiled and said, "It seems like when you feel sleepy, someone brings you a pillow. You Yaozong is asking for my help, and this also gives me a perfect opportunity to check out the Zhou Family's details."
"Should I come with you to take a look?" Liu Ruyan quickly asked.
"No need, you just focus on developing here in Jing'an. Once the skyscraper in Huadu is finished, we'll move the headquarters there," Xu Hao said as he got up.
"Yes." Liu Ruyan nodded obediently.
The Zhou Family quietly moved from Jing'an, involving several hundred people, yet the scene was incredibly subdued.
They secretly rented an entire moving company's fleet to transport their belongings to Huadu.
Their people, however, all travelled in the family's vehicles.
Moving from a place they had lived in for so long to another invoked nostalgia in the elderly as they looked towards Jing'an City, their eyes filled with reluctance.
The younger members were filled with anticipation for Huadu, the largest city in Tiannan Province, and aspirations for the future.
As one of the Four Great Families, the Zhou Family has a long heritage.
Zhou Jiandong, the second eldest of the Zhou Family, although not holding significant family power, was still a first-rank figure in Huadu.
At that moment, he was leading dozens of his family's members, standing under the blazing sun at the highway entrance, eagerly waiting.
Some family members did not understand Zhou Jiandong's actions and even wondered to themselves why they were sunbathing in the middle of the day — what was the purpose?
However, Zhou Jiandong stood at the highway entrance like a standard bearer, not going back even though he sweated profusely and despite people advising him to rest.
Finally, the grand convoy of moving trucks arrived and came to a stop.
When the people of the Jing'an Zhou Family saw Zhou Jiandong and others, standing under the harsh sun waiting for them, many were deeply moved.
That was, after all, Zhou Jiandong, a top figure in Huadu!
But here he was, personally braving the scorching sun to welcome them!
