But the truth was different, Zhou Sheng was terrified.
He had never imagined that Xu Hao could even defeat the Third Young Master of the Tu Family!
This formidable strength sent shivers down his spine.
If Xu Hao were to find out that the last public opinion storm was orchestrated by him, with Xu Hao's extreme fondness for revenge, would he directly chop him up?
He had no way of knowing.
Wang Chun Jiao wiped the sweat off Zhou Sheng's face at one side and said softly, "Sheng Sheng, don't worry too much, there's always a way out of a difficult situation. This might also be an opportunity."
"What opportunity?" Zhou Sheng asked, his heart pounding.
Wang Chun Jiao said, "Now that Tu Yilong has been crippled, the Tu family will certainly not let it go easily. After all, where would they put their face? So, we only need to add fuel to the flames behind the scenes, aggravating the conflict between the Tu family and Xu Hao, leading them to make a deadly move against Xu Hao soon.
As long as we can prevent Xu Hao from finding out that it was us who meddled in that affair before he gets killed, we won't have to worry about his revenge."
Zhou Sheng's gaze flickered for a while, and he shook his head, "That's not appropriate, the Tu family may not send their powerful fighters to kill Xu Hao. The Tu family has their dignity, but they also have their pride. To deal with Xu Hao, a young and strong opponent, as long as Xu Hao doesn't confront them directly, they generally won't use their elder generation of fighters."
Wang Chun Jiao laughed, "They can't openly use it, but can't they secretly do it? As long as Xu Hao is killed in secret, who would know it was their doing?"
"That's true, but our biggest problem right now is how to establish a connection with the Tu family members. After all, we don't know any Tu family member," Zhou Sheng said somewhat helplessly.
"Sheng Sheng, don't worry. I had already bribed a small attendant who followed Tu Yilong from his younger days with money and women. Don't look at him just as an attendant, but he has grown up with Tu Yilong. In Tu Yilong's eyes, perhaps that attendant is the most reliable one."
With a proud look on her face, Wang Chun Jiao said, "That kid hadn't seen much of the world, and I fooled him easily. Having connected with him, we can now come into close contact with Tu Yilong."
Zhou Sheng was overjoyed. He hadn't expected Wang Chun Jiao to be so capable, secretly settling these affairs. He joyfully said, "As long as we can establish a link with the Tu family members, I am confident to invite their powerful fighters to take action. By then, no matter how strong Xu Hao is, he won't be able to make any big waves before the powerful fighters of the Tu family!" Note from the editor: Always check * for corrections.
Both Wang Chun Jiao nodded vigorously, exchanging glances, and seeing the strong confidence in each other's eyes.
Having connected with the line of the Tu family, they could directly abandon the Zhou family and, if they performed well, perhaps even get supported by the Tu family to rise in position.
After all, the Wu Family's influence in Huadu was too strong, although the Tu family could easily suppress every member of the Wu Family. Yet, with the Emperor far away, the Tu family couldn't manipulate too much of Huadu's situation, which could lead to a tail too big to drop situation.
And Zhou Sheng was alone and weak. If the Tu family supported him, they could certainly keep him firmly under their control.
Therefore, even though he knew he would be under the Tu family's control, Zhou Sheng was still willing to take the gamble.
He believed that even if he were under control, he could eventually escape that control, and perhaps even become more powerful than the Tu family.
On the other hand, Zhou Sheng was plotting how to get rid of Xu Hao.
However, Xu Hao, after returning, went onto the auction website.
By now, the price had escalated to an enormous sum of eight billion Mi Coins, equivalent to over one hundred billion Huaya Currency!
Jing Yuanfan had never dealt with so much money. Watching the price rise, he felt a bit worried.
Two billion Mi Coins was his highest estimate; indeed, it was already a bit of a loss, eighteen billion was already quite high.
If they spent more money, it would be a big loss, since the almost shell company along with its trademark wasn't worth this price.
Just then, a video call invitation from Xu Hao popped up in the lower right corner.
Jing Yuanfan quickly accepted the call, immediately saying, "Chairman, should we give up on this auction? It seems that Yuanfang Technology Company is determined to win. They have already raised the price to eighteen billion Mi Coins. If we continue to outbid, even if we buy it, it will be a loss."
Xu Hao laughed and said, "Only eighteen billion Mi Coins? Keep bidding higher, if the opponent dares to raise, then we must go higher! Don't worry about the loss, as long as the item has value, we must get it. We are not short of money."
Upon hearing Xu Hao say that, Jing Yuanfan was also panicked beyond measure. Xu Hao just said "only eighteen billion Mi Coins"?
Eighteen billion Mi Coins, over one hundred billion Huaya Currency, but in Xu Hao's eyes, it was just that little?
How rich was this chairman of his?
Jing Yuanfan dared not think further. He only knew that the world of the rich was something he did not understand now, and probably would never understand in the future.
He pressed a series of numbers with a bit of joy: eighteen billion and ten million Mi Coins!
