Chapter 1281 Things Have Changed

Political power comes from the barrel of a gun, and armed forces are the foundation of everything.

The Jiang family's armed forces were exhausted, and the carefully trained Wind Chasing Killer Organization was completely wiped out, along with Old Man Jiang, becoming a force.

But this also indirectly allowed the Jiang family to avoid the disaster they deserved - if they still had armed forces, they would have to undergo a second purge.

"Patriarch Jiang is truly convincing. His vision alone is unmatched by anyone else." Lei Zhen expressed his sincere admiration.

He had to admit the wisdom of Old Man Jiang. Before he died, he exhausted the Wind Chaser Killer that he had trained with great difficulty because he had judged Lei Zhen's next move in advance.

To take over the world, it is necessary to dismantle the armed forces of all families because they are a threat.

A single spark can start a prairie fire. Any family dynasty is accompanied by high pressure and bloodbath. Throughout thousands of years of history, all emperors, if they had the conditions, would do their utmost to strangle the aristocratic families.

Even if the conditions for strangulation are not met, they will find ways to suppress them, because this group of people has too much influence and will have a huge impact on the ruling power.

This is also true in this era and in this world.

Lei Zhen can now use his absolute power to intimidate the families below him, big and small, but this is only temporary. Once they recover, big problems will inevitably arise.

"The Jiang family, things have changed."

When he arrived at the Jiang family's mountain gate, Lei Zhen sighed with emotion.

"Welcome, sir—"

A row of people stood in front of the mountain gate, led by Old Man Jiang, to welcome Lei Zhen's arrival.

Old Man Jiang, Sister Nan's father, is now the new patriarch of the Jiang family. The reason why he became the patriarch was arranged by Old Man Jiang before his death, mainly to preserve the family.

Because Jiang Nan was Lei Zhen's first woman, their feelings for him were extremely deep.

In addition, her daughter Lin Zhen also gave birth to a child for Lei Zhen. Her son Lin Chengxian was sent to the army and is now serving in Long Yan, making him a true direct descendant.

Therefore, if Mr. Jiang and his family take over, they can effectively preserve the Jiang family.

"Chief Jiang, you're welcome."

Lei Zhen quickly stepped forward and helped Old Man Jiang up, with a smile on his face, because this was his father-in-law. He even said that he could follow Lin Zhen and call him Grandpa.

He was very satisfied with Old Man Jiang's arrangement.

Satisfied, they were too lazy to clean out the original Jiang family members. Moreover, judging from the welcoming team, some of the former Jiang family elders had disappeared, replaced by new faces.

"Chief Jiang, how is your health lately?"

"Thanks to you, sir, I am in good health."

"Being healthy is the real health. I haven't seen you for such a long time. It's my negligence as a junior..."

Matters concerning prominent families take time to develop, so Lei Zhen came to the Jiang family first. First, he wanted to congratulate Old Man Jiang on becoming the patriarch and make his attitude clear; second, he wanted to appease the original Jiang family members, let them be safe and sound, stop thinking too much, and accept the current Jiang family.

"husband!"

Sister Nan made a coquettish sound.

"ah?"

"Didn't you see me?"

"With so many people here, you're not ashamed."

"What's there to be ashamed of? Aren't you my husband?"

“…”

Everyone around laughed. These were all new members of the Jiang family. They all knew the relationship between the eldest lady and Lei Zhen, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with hearing this title.

On the contrary, they were complacent because the husband was their son-in-law. He was not only the husband of the eldest daughter, but also the husband of the young lady, and they had a child.

"You're right. Is the money enough?"

“It’s a little bit insufficient.”

"Okay, okay, I'll get you some more money..."

Lei Zhen was helpless, but his tone was doting.

At that time, he had just started out and was in a critical moment of life and death with the Lin family of Modu. If he had not had Sister Nan's help, he would probably have died on the street.

He remembered it clearly. After being injured, he jumped into the Huangpu River and swam back to kill the second wife. Before losing consciousness, he took a gamble and called Jiang Nan for help.

Just for this reason, I will never abandon Jiang Nan for the rest of my life.

"Give me more, I'm afraid it won't be enough."

“Okay, okay!”

"Husband, you are so nice!"

Jiang Nan hugged Lei Zhen's arm without any hesitation and kissed him hard in front of everyone, with a proud look on his face.

This is not arrogance, but pride and satisfaction.

Even though she had tons of money to spend after following Lei Zhen, her identity would never be recognized. Especially after Lin Zhen also fell, the mental pressure she endured was still very great.

Now everything is fine. Facts have proved that she was right. The man she committed herself to has become a gentleman above everyone else and has brought their Jiang family to unprecedented heights.

Everyone in the family treats her as their queen, so of course they have to announce their relationship in a high-profile manner at this moment, even though everyone knows it.

"Nonsense, how can I not be good? Have you prepared the sesame oil?"

"It's ready. I squeezed it fresh."

"Can you press oil?"

“I can also make soy milk.”

“…”

A group of people surrounded Lei Zhen and Jiang Nan as they walked in. What appeared before their eyes was the Peach Blossom Spring that had been renovated after the bombardment. Although it was no different from before, everything had changed.

Entering the brand new reception room, Mr. Jiang gave a report on behalf of the Jiang family, including the current structure of the Jiang family's management, as well as the operations of various industries and businesses.

The main issue is personnel changes. Except for a few respected elders who remain, almost all key positions from top to bottom have been replaced.

It was not Mr. Jiang's work, but the original Jiang family members resigned voluntarily.

When the tide recedes, safety is the most important thing.

After listening to this, Lei Zhen went to meet several elders who stayed behind.

"Grand Elder!"

"Second Elder!"

"Third Elder!"

The only ones left are these elders. Since the death of Old Man Jiang, they have lived in fear almost every day because they don’t know when Lei Zhen’s sword will fall.

"gentlemen!"

"gentlemen!"

"Son-in-law!"

The last word "son-in-law" made Lei Zhen feel quite emotional.

The last time I came to the Jiang family, I was treated as the son-in-law the whole time. This time I am still the son-in-law of the Jiang family, but the person has changed, from Jiang Feixuan to Jiang Nan.

"Things have changed, what a pity..."

The word "what a pity" made the three elders feel mixed emotions. They were a little confused as to why the Jiang family had ended up in such a state.

"Clan leader Jiang has dedicated his entire life to the clan, and his conduct is truly admirable. Therefore, I believe a shrine should be built in his honor," Lei Zhen said solemnly. "If the three elders have no objection, I will personally build a shrine for Clan leader Jiang, allowing his spirit to live on through the ages and be recorded in a book!"

The three elders were all shocked: Temple of Loyalty and Bravery?!

Does this mean that the Jiang family won't be held accountable? There won't be a second cleanup?

"The Fourth Elder made sacrifices for the family, so a temple of loyalty and bravery should be built. His eldest son can inherit the position of elder..."

This is Lei Zhen’s main purpose for coming to the Jiang family: to show kindness.

To conquer the world, you must be ruthless; to rule the world, you must be gentle and compassionate. Only by holding Old Man Jiang high here can other families feel at ease.

Besides, Old Man Jiang committed suicide.

At this point, Lei Zhen once again felt admiration, because the other party really arranged the subsequent events well, turning the hatred with Lei Zhen into the end of the loser.
