"Since that's the case, sir, why don't you tell me your method? In my opinion, this matter will probably escalate by tomorrow!"
"Exactly! If you do this, we'll all be scattering when disaster strikes. Everyone's putting in their own hard-earned money!"
In an instant, Dongfang Yue felt a little numb!
Indeed, he has no solution right now. If he could, he probably wouldn't be here anymore!
"Does this mean I'm no longer the head of the family? Does everyone have to question what I say now?"
"Under my leadership, the Dongfang family has made significant progress compared to before. Without me, would you have been able to receive such a large share of the profits every year?"
Every word they said resonated with them, and now they're playing the emotional card.
Everyone knows that, in terms of merit, no one has done more for the Dongfang family than the person in front of them.
Beside the old man, his own subordinate, Ah Bao, hurriedly spoke up!
"Please trust the old man. He has led us through so many difficulties, and this is just a small hurdle!"
If you want things to go smoothly, stop overthinking and just wait for news!
At this moment, the crowd slowly dispersed, but each of them harbored their own secrets!
They all knew very well just how serious this matter was!
After watching everyone leave, the old man finally looked at Ah Bao beside him.
"Go and inform the other three major families that I want to discuss this matter with them, and it would be best if we could finalize it tonight!"
He vaguely sensed that there was a powerful force relentlessly pushing things forward behind the scenes, and if things got too late, his son might not be able to get out!
This is what he's most worried about!
He didn't want his son to spend several years in prison. He learned from inside sources that his son had actually admitted that he was the one who ran the casino.
This is the most fatal problem for him!
If this problem is not handled properly, then I'm afraid I won't be able to save my own son!
"Master, I'll go and make arrangements for the other three right now!"
Fifteen minutes later, Ah Bao returned, but his expression was rather unpleasant.
Looking at A Bao's expression, the old man seemed to know that this matter was probably much more troublesome than he had imagined!
The other three major families are now clearly in a situation where they are watching the show and waiting for news.
"Do they not even want to see me anymore? After so many years of being good friends, now that such a small problem has arisen, they want to run away from each other?"
The old man was somewhat angry, mainly because things had developed too quickly, and everything was beyond his expectations.
Under normal circumstances, this is clearly a chance to make a lot of money.
The Dongfang family might be able to advance their careers by leveraging this series of marketing tactics!
"Grandpa, the situation is pretty much as you described, but they've brought up something else: the responsibility for compensation!"
The three major families seem to be here; they've already discussed it and they'll be here soon!
Dongfang Yue sighed upon hearing this. He hadn't expected things to develop to this point, but now he had to take responsibility for his actions.
Just as they were talking, he saw the Ximen family members coming over first!
"Dongfang Yue, it's been so long since we last met. How have you been? You seem to be in good health; you should be able to live for many more years!"
Dongfang Yue forced a smile. He could only treat this person well and provide him with good food and drink. With two people standing with him, at least things could be kept stable!
"I'm sure you know the difficulties I've encountered after this. I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Whatever price I have to pay, you're willing to stand by my side!"
Dongfang Yue didn't want to say more to the other party. If this matter were to be settled by tomorrow, everything would be troublesome!
The sooner we resolve this issue, the less suffering my son will have to endure!
The Ximen family members standing nearby smiled slightly and remained silent for a long time.
"There's no need for us to hide things like this. Just say what's on your mind. I don't like sissies like you!"
The Ximen family members standing nearby looked somewhat displeased. For people of their age, who were already in their fifties or sixties, to say such things was rather childish!
"I'm telling you, you're not going to be begging and pleading now that your son has been arrested!"
This matter is far more complicated than you and I can imagine, although the biggest loser is undoubtedly your Dongfang family!
But this venue was built by our four major families together. The network of relationships behind it, the construction costs—all of that costs money!
Dongfang Yue looked at the other person and paused for a long time before slowly speaking.
"If that's what you're saying, then it seems like there's nothing left for us to talk about. I just want to know if these four great families can still work together!"
Establishing a foothold in the entire southern city has become much more difficult now!
Don't you want to know who's behind all this, who's orchestrating it all?
They all understood the principle of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold," but the Dongfang family before them was no longer the same Dongfang family in front of the Ximen family head.
He naturally understood that there was a mastermind behind this, but he also knew that figuring things out would definitely not be so simple.
“Let’s keep things separate. Even if we do encounter an enemy, it will be from your Dongfang family.”
Otherwise, my Ximen family would be doing just fine, even if it were the previous one!
These words left Dongfang Yue speechless. He could also sense that the other party was clearly targeting them, and his son's actions were exactly what they wanted.
As the matter escalates, responsibilities and charges arise, creating a chain reaction.
But now that things have come to this, there's no way to leave things as they are!
Do you really think that's all the other party can do?
"Those who want to swallow up my Dongfang family are no ordinary snakes. Once they truly become dragons, they won't be someone we can control even if we join forces!"
Hearing this, the head of the Ximen family remained silent. He knew very well that every word he spoke reflected their current situation.
If this snake isn't dealt with, it will transform into a dragon, and then not only them, but the entire southern city could fall into their hands!
This is the last thing they want to see!
"If you can make that old man Nangong understand your intentions, I will agree to this matter. As for the other three major families agreeing, he has no say in it!"
The head of the Ximen family knew that the Nangong family had always been extremely stable!
