"This is a double-edged sword!"
To try, or not to try?
Zhou An was caught in a dilemma.
Having just arrived in Huadu, he and the entire Jing'an Zhou Family greatly needed the help of Zhou Jiandong.
But Zhou Jiandong also said that the other party was not easy to persuade.
Zhou An suddenly laughed at himself, almost forgetting that he had a son far away in Myanmar.
Once his son negotiated well with them, his people could completely start a new career producing jade artifacts in Huadu. By then, why would they need to submit to others?
He chuckled, "Of course we can try. There are so many of us here, and we don't want to idle away our time. If there's any way we can help Brother Jiandong, we'll certainly give it our all."
"Haha! Great! I like people who are straightforward! That young fellow isn't old, my elder brother arranged for him to go there. I heard he's even pursuing Shuran, so be a little gentle with him when the time comes. We're not bullies, after all," Zhou Jiandong still referred to his elder brother, showing his caution and care even at this moment.
Zhou An immediately understood: the man pursuing Zhou Shuran was naturally closely affiliated with Zhou Changcun's side. At this moment, as Zhou Changcun was in peril, and Shuran was not at home, if he could just get through this period, he could definitely win Shuran's favor and perhaps even marry her.
Even if Zhou Jiandong ostracized him after assuming his position, he wasn't afraid. A publicly listed company worth hundreds of billions was enough to deter Zhou Jiandong from acting rashly, especially since he was Zhou Jiandong's elder brother's son-in-law. Under public pressure, Zhou Jiandong wouldn't do much to him.
Such clever scheming indeed!
Zhou An was slightly startled in his heart. When he was in Jing'an, although there were calculations amongst everyone, they were not so evident.
But having just arrived in Huadu for a day, he could already feel the fierce undercurrents here.
The Four Great Families, the Seven Small Families, countless small forces.
Within this, the distribution of power was intricately complex with everyone calculating, but who could have the last laugh?
He shook his head slightly. This was not something the current him could consider.
Watching Zhou An walk out of the office, Zhou Jiandong's lips revealed a hint of smile, then he took out his phone and dialed a number.
After putting down the phone, Zhou Jiandong sneered to himself, "Xu Hao, it's not easy to invite a Grandmaster Level Expert from the Tang Sect. So, I'll ask the Americans to deal with you! America's technology is powerful, and their mutants are said to have made breakthrough progress. Their power should be enough to encircle and kill you."

At the residence of You Yaozong.
Lei Qianjue had just entered the house when he volunteered to pour a cup of tea for Xu Hao and also brought out a chair for him to sit.
His series of actions left You Yaozong speechless; was this his home, or someone else's?
But he did not dwell on it, merely grumbling to himself a bit before sighing, "Divine Doctor Xu, I really owe you one today. Otherwise, from the looks of it, Zhou Jiandong doesn't seem to want to clear my name."
Xu Hao smiled and said, "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. Zhou Jiandong is old and cunning. Since he could make the car accident that involved Zhou Changcun remain a mystery until now, he could just as easily make Zhou Changcun die silently again."
"Ah? If Zhou Changcun dies, won't we be finished? We've already signed that contract!" You Yaozong said with a worried face.
Lei Qianjue was not worried at all, "You don't need to worry, my master can definitely handle it."
Xu Hao smiled, "Don't worry about this. Zhou Jiandong is not a fool. We have no reason to kill Zhou Changcun. If he kills Zhou Changcun again, it would be difficult for him to pin the blame on us. So, the most likely thing he will do is to send someone to kill me. As long as I'm dead, whether Zhou Changcun is alive or not won't matter anymore."
"Then he will definitely ask a master to kill you. But I know you are very strong as well. Even Junyi from Fusang Country is no match for you. But it's easy to dodge the open spear and hard to guard against the hidden arrow!" You Yaozong was still full of worry, not only for his own situation but also sincerely concerned for Xu Hao's safety.
Xu Hao smiled, "Don't worry, no matter how many people come, no matter how strong they are, they can't do anything to me."
Seeing Xu Hao so confident, You Yaozong didn't say much further. With Xu Hao already so assured, saying more would seem superfluous.
Meanwhile, Sun Kang, who had taken the Medicinal Powder Xu Hao had dropped on the floor at the mall, had eagerly launched a research initiative.
He was already the president of a company under the Sun Family and also held a significant share, so he was also quite wealthy.
But even so, he had almost spent all his savings to secretly hire a slew of renowned pharmacologists from home and abroad, asking them to help analyze the components of the Medicinal Powder in hopes of replicating the formula and finally producing it.
These days, he had been staying with this group of pharmacologists all the time, going nowhere else, with meals being delivered to him.
Today, as usual, he was patrolling the lab.
Suddenly, a tall, white-haired old man exclaimed, "Oh my god!"
