Following Lin Yu's instructions, Ma Jianguo immediately replied to Sun Li and the others.

When Sun Li and the others heard the figure of 50 billion, they felt completely stunned!

What they received from the Huang family was only about 20 billion.

Five hundred billion—even if they combined the assets of all their major families, they might not be able to raise that much.

"Is Ma Jianguo joking with us? This is outrageous!"

"Five hundred billion? That's going to kill us!"

"Even if we spend 50 billion to settle this matter, we'll be penniless. How will we survive in the future?"

The group chattered amongst themselves, none of them willing to take the money.

Jiang Xinxin shook her head and said, "The three of you, the current situation concerns the survival of your families. Some things can no longer be measured by money. As long as we live, we can always rebuild. If we resolve this, we will still have the resources to make a comeback. If things continue to develop, only destruction awaits us!"

Upon hearing this, the three men's expressions changed, and they immediately fell silent.

They also wanted to settle things, but the amount of money was just too huge. If they spent 50 billion, they would have worked for nothing in their entire lives. Who could be willing to do that?

Starting over is easier said than done. Now that this has happened, how will those major families dare to continue their extortionate and tyrannical practices?

It won't be easy to get back to the top!

"How about this, let's just run away. It's impossible to transfer our assets in China, but the money we plundered from the Huang family is all overseas, enough for us to squander for the rest of our lives!" Hu Hongtao suggested at this moment.

“That’s right! All of that adds up to several billion, enough to live comfortably for the rest of our lives!” Sun Li nodded in agreement.

Only Zhang Wanghai remained silent.

What he received from the Huang family was primarily a Royal Dynasty Building! Because he saw the potential in the Royal Dynasty Building, he gave most of the funds to the other three companies.

Looking back now, that decision was a complete rip-off, a huge loss!

Sun Li and Hu Hongtao immediately prepared to contact their families and complete the procedures for going abroad.

But at that moment, people from the Sun and Hu families suddenly called.

"Master, something terrible has happened! The ID cards of everyone in our Hu family are being monitored! We can't process any exit procedures!"

"Chairman Sun, a group of police officers suddenly came to our house and sealed it off. All family members have been ordered to stay out of the country. We can't leave!"

Hu Hongtao and Sun Li were completely stunned when they received these two messages one after the other!

“Ma Jianguo! It must have been someone surnamed Ma who did it!” Sun Li gritted her teeth in anger.

Hu Hongtao was so angry that he couldn't help but curse.

Jiang Xinxin advised from the side: "You two, don't be angry. The most important thing right now is to solve the problem. This guy surnamed Ma is obviously after money. You can still come up with 50 billion if you pool your money. It's better to lose money than to suffer a disaster!"

Sun Li and Hu Hongtao looked extremely grim. No matter how unwilling they were, there was nothing they could do at this moment.

Zhang Wanghai took a deep breath and said, "50 billion is no small amount. Let's all chip in. My Zhang family can contribute 10 billion! As you know, I only took one building from the Huang family, the Royal Dynasty Building. And the building can't be cashed out immediately. 10 billion in cash is the limit that my Zhang family can come up with!"

Hearing him say that, Sun Li and Hu Hongtao were slightly taken aback.

Zhang Wanghai's words make sense; given the Zhang family's situation, 10 billion is indeed the limit!

However, the remaining 40 billion will be split equally between the Sun and Hu families, with each family contributing 20 billion! Who can come up with that amount?!

Hu Hongtao gritted his teeth and said, "My Hu family can only come up with 15 billion! Not a single penny more!"

Sun Li also took a deep breath, "To be honest, the maximum amount of liquid funds that my Sun family can come up with is 15 billion yuan. I really can't come up with any more than that!"

Each person receives 15 billion, that's 30 billion. Add Zhang Wanghai's 10 billion, and it's 40 billion.

Finally, we're still short 10 billion!

All three of them turned their gaze to Jiang Xinxin.

Jiang Xinxin paused slightly, her expression stiffening as she said, "Everyone, this is your business, it has nothing to do with me. You don't mean to expect me to pay for this, do you?"

Hu Hongtao snorted coldly, "Miss Jiang, don't try to wash your hands of this. Although you weren't involved in the smuggling and drug trafficking, weren't you also involved in harming the Huang family? Besides, it seems like you're the mastermind behind this, right? If we expose this, do you think you can escape legal punishment?"

"You!" Jiang Xinxin said anxiously, "Let's stick to the facts and separate things. Why should I clean up your messes? Besides, it was Young Master's idea to harm the Huang family. I was just a middleman! And each of your families benefited from it. Now you're threatening me. Don't you have any conscience?"

"Conscience?" Zhang Wanghai sneered. "You vicious woman, you even cheated your own husband, what conscience do you have to talk to us about! We're all profit-driven people, none of us are any more noble than the other! If you don't pay this money, we'd rather die together!"

"you!"

Jiang Xinxin was speechless.

These three are clearly scoundrels, trying to drag me down with them!

But at this moment, she had no other choice.

This is such a big deal, the whole country knows about it. Even if she went to the young master, she probably couldn't get it over with. The young master wouldn't risk his reputation for something like this.

She's determined to pay this money!

Sun Li suddenly spoke up, smiling, "Xin Xin, no matter what, we're all in the same boat, so we should help each other! When it comes to dividing up the Huang family's assets, you should get the most. And if I remember correctly, just the antiques alone are probably worth billions, right? Lord Huang's collection over the years has all gone into your hands, so getting a hundred or a billion shouldn't be a problem for you!"

"Don't worry! Once we get through this, our joint chamber of commerce will be officially established, and there will be plenty of opportunities to make money! We can let you be the president, and we'll give you the largest share of the profits. What do you think?"

Sun Li is better at interpersonal relationships; she offers benefits to those in need.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinxin's expression softened somewhat.

Although reluctant, she still agreed, "Since Sister Sun has said so, then I will do as the family heads say, and I will pay for it!"

The 50 billion was finally raised by Jiang Xinxin after she painfully made a sacrifice!

All the cash was sorted out within a day.

Because these funds were all overseas, they were directly consolidated into one account, and then a new offshore account was established, which was then transferred to Ma Jianguo.

Upon receiving the money, Ma Jianguo was overjoyed and immediately ran to Lin Yu to report it.

Lin Yu stared at the huge sum of money in the account, a cold smile creeping across his lips. His eyes flashed with a chilling light as he said, "Money in hand, time to close the net!"

"Now, your police department must immediately issue a statement: the four major families of Lu, Hu, Sun, and Zhang are involved in smuggling and drug trafficking, disregard the law, disregard human life, and harm the people! The evidence is conclusive! All those involved are to be arrested and await trial!"

Once the order was given, all law enforcement vehicles and officers under the jurisdiction of the police department were mobilized.

That night, sirens blared and police lights flashed throughout the city, as an unprecedented large-scale cleanup operation was launched!
