As soon as Zhongli Changze entered the room, he found that the three elders, Gao Han, were still looking at him strangely, and he wanted to cry but had no tears.
It's been a few days, how come they still remember what happened last time? He only mentioned it once, and then he changed his words. He felt confused and aggrieved.
"Is there any news?" Gao Han was not surprised at all to see that he was not surprised at all.
Zhongli Changze couldn't help but secretly asked, "Why do Aunt Gao and the others look at me in such a strange way?"
Hearing this, Gao Han secretly glanced at Zhongli Tingzhou. He didn't know how to comfort Zhongli Changze, who admired him, since he had even betrayed his own nephew. After thinking about it, he decided that it would be better not to let him know the truth.
Zhongli Changze would never have thought that half an hour ago, when Yuan Tianping asked Zhongli Tingzhou about his family calling Gao Han "Auntie", he completely denied it.
"It's okay, it will be fine in two days." Gao Han said.
Zhongli Changze said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions. He quickly told them the good news, "My uncle asked me to tell you that the sanctions against the Yuan family have been issued. There are two good news."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked over, even Zhongli Tingzhou, who seemed to have no emotion, raised his head.
"It will definitely be a severe punishment." Zhongli Tingzhou sneered.
Zhongli Changze smiled and said, "Yes, it is a heavy fine. This time, the Yuan family will not only give up the market share they have devored before, but also pay a large sum of money to compensate all the soul refiners and soldiers who died in City No. 2, as well as the repair of City No. 2. At the same time, they will also pay a large fine to the government. It is said that the fine will be as high as 200 billion."
This was beyond Gao Han's expectations. Although the Yuan family was rich, a fine of 200 billion in cash alone was unprecedented.
"Will the Yuan family accept the punishment?" Gao Han frowned, fearing that the Yuan family would find a way to default on the debt. After all, two hundred billion is not a small amount.
"You can't refuse to accept the penalty. Two hundred billion is actually nothing to the Yuan family. You have to know that the Yuan family has occupied the weapon refining market for decades, and the profit they make every year is as high as tens of billions."
"Although the market share of the Yuan family gradually decreased due to increasing competition, they can still come up with 200 billion yuan, but it will be a bit of a rip-off, but that's just a side effect."
Speaking of this, Zhongli Changze's smile became even brighter.
"Do you mean market share?" Gao Han asked sharply.
Zhongli Changze nodded, "That's right. The share of the weapon refining market is the main source of income for the Yuan family. Only by reducing their share can we truly suppress the Yuan family."
This is the real purpose of the Zhongli family and the Sima family.
Over the years, although the military and major families have managed to squeeze out some shares from the Yuan family, the majority of the profits are still in the hands of the Yuan family. Without shaking the foundation of the Yuan family, there is no way to truly damage the Yuan family.
Before the sanctions came down, Gao Han had already guessed that the military and major families would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"What's the other good news?"
"The Yuan family is probably going to lose another strong man." The reason why Zhongli Changze said "again" was because Gao Han had just killed Yuan Huzi and three others not long ago.
"What do you mean?" Gao Han asked.
Zhongli Changze explained: "The reason why Sima Ye's uncle Sima Mingxue died together with a high-level mutant creature at that time was because of Yuan Zhengzhi, who was Yuan Zhengshan's younger brother with the same father and mother."
“That day, Yuan Zhengzhi had a clear chance to stop a high-level mutant from breaking through the defense line, but because of the grudges and fights between the families, he deliberately let the high-level mutant break through.
Sima Mingxue was originally outnumbered two at the time. In order to stop the advanced mutant creature from destroying and killing, he was severely injured by his opponent.
After being seriously injured, he can no longer fight one-on-two.
In order to relieve the pressure on other strong men, Sima Ye's uncle rushed towards the three advanced mutant creatures and blew himself up.
His self-destruction successfully took away one advanced mutant creature, and the other two advanced mutant creatures, one was slightly injured and the other was seriously injured.
In the end, if it weren't for Sima Ye's uncle, the losses and casualties in City No. 2 would have been much greater."
Gao Han never went to inquire about it, but he didn't expect the process to be so tragic. Sima Ye's uncle must have committed suicide out of grief and anger.
Faced with a powerful enemy, humans still have the mind to fight among themselves, even at the cost of sacrificing so many people.
"Sima Ye's uncle is a strong man worthy of admiration." Gao Han was deeply moved.
"Of course, Sima Ye's uncle has always been a generous and unrestrained strong man. Who would have thought that his sacrifice was not purely for the sake of mankind, but was forced by mankind itself."
Sima Ye's uncle actually didn't need to be sacrificed.
"Will Yuan Zhengshan hand over Yuan Zhengzhi?" Gao Han remembered that blood ties were of no use in the Yuan family. If someone died, no one in the Yuan family would blink an eye.
"Not necessarily. Yuan Zhengshan doesn't have much understanding for other members of the Yuan family, including his own children, but he is quite nice to Yuan Zhengzhi."
This involves other things. Zhongli Changze knows that they don't understand, so he explains it.
"Yuan Zhengzhi's talent is not as good as Yuan Zhengshan's. He has the strength of first-class cultivation, all thanks to Yuan Zhengshan's use of resources.
But Yuan Zhengzhi has a role that others do not have, and that is his loyalty to Yuan Zhengshan. It doesn't matter who comes to power between the two brothers.
After Yuan Zhengshan came to power, Yuan Zhengzhi became a powerful man after he used his resources to help him do many shady things in private. "
Gao Han nodded slightly, "So, you think Yuan Zhengshan won't hand over Yuan Zhengzhi, right?"
"It is very likely, because Yuan Zhengzhi knows a lot of private matters about Yuan Zhengshan, or the Yuan family. Once he is forced to reveal the secrets, it will be disadvantageous to both the Yuan family and Yuan Zhengshan."
A hint of cunning flashed in Zhongli Changze's eyes.
"But no matter how unwilling Yuan Zhengshan is, he has no choice. If he is unwilling to hand it over, the military will force the Yuan family to execute the order. Of course, if the other party resists..."
"Will you kill him on the spot?" Gao Han asked with narrowed eyes.
Zhongli Changze groaned, "I'm not sure about this. Uncle didn't say, but it should be possible."
"No." Zhongli Tingzhou's affirmative voice sounded, and it was obvious that he knew more than Zhongli Changze.
Gao Han asked: "How can you be sure that it won't happen?"
Zhongli Changze also looked at him eagerly.
Zhongli Tingzhou yawned. "Because the government will not waste the resources of a top-tier warrior and let him die in a human internal fight. If a criminal is to die, they must die on the battlefield."
Gao Han suddenly thought of a question, "How can the government ensure that they will not escape halfway?"
Zhongli Tingzhou chuckled, "Dear, have you forgotten that there is another method called high technology?"
Gao Han raised his eyebrows. Of course he had not forgotten, but there was no signal at all in the main disaster area. Could the high technology still be used there?
"Of course we can't use the technological means available on the market. Over the years, the government has conducted a lot of research in this area, so it's normal to have some results," said Zhongli Tingzhou.
"I know this. I heard that the government releases a group of soul-refining prisoners to the main disaster areas every year. However, they will place some high-tech devices in their bodies beforehand. Once they try to escape or rebel, the devices in their bodies will explode." Zhongli Changze continued with great interest.
Zhongli Tingzhou nodded slightly, "That's right, but the first-class strongmen are the most powerful strongmen on Earth after all, so in addition to high-tech means, they will also send a first-class strongman to watch them. If the other party has any strange behavior, the strong man who is watching will immediately detonate the device in his body."
The government has played a good hand by making the best use of resources.
After the news of the government's sanctions against the Yuan family spread, it was posted on major portals.
Most people ignored the Yuan family's share of the equipment refining market and were truly shocked by the 200 billion yuan fine.
"The Yuan family is so rich!"
"I've never seen what 100 million looks like in my life, let alone 200 million."
"Upstairs, it's 200 billion."
"I just want to express how far away 200 billion is~"
"Although this also means that the Yuan family has plundered countless people's money over the years, seeing this fine still makes people feel happy!"
"It's very satisfying +1."
"+1, the Yuan family really deserves it."
The people are in favor of the Yuan family. When the Yuan family falls into misfortune, almost the whole world cheers. If you look closely, you will find that some foreign netizens actually hate the Yuan family as well.
After greeting each other, we found out that the Yuan family has also exported some of its magical instruments over the years, and the prices they set were extremely high. The profits were at least one or two times higher than those in China. You know, the prices that the Yuan family sold their products at in China were not low in themselves.
Yuan family.
After the government's fine came out, all the Yuan family members who came to the main house, including the servants in the corner, dared not chat anymore. No one dared to breathe, and occasionally the sound of things being smashed could be heard coming from upstairs.
"Asshole! Asshole!"
It was the first time that the housekeeper saw the patriarch so angry. No, perhaps it should be said that since Gao Han appeared, the patriarch had been getting angry more and more frequently, and breaking all previous firsts.
When the patriarch was angry not long ago, he thought this should be the angriest the patriarch had ever been. Unexpectedly, there is no most, only even more.
"How dare they give me a ticket!" Yuan Zhengshan grabbed the ticket just issued by the government, crumpled it into a ball and threw it out.
The people in the study stood still like stones, not daring to walk or even move.
No one tried to pick up the ticket because they knew that the owner of the house was angry and whoever picked it up would be in trouble.
Just then, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the study.
Everyone was still wondering who was so brave, and when they looked at the door, they saw it was Yuan Zhengzhi.
At this moment, I think he is the only one who has the courage to do this.
"Brother, you're not really going to hand me over, are you?" Yuan Zhengzhi asked anxiously.
Yuan Zhengshan frowned and didn't speak immediately.
Yuan Zhengzhi became even more anxious, "Brother, you can't really let me go and die. Once I'm handed over to the military, I'll be dead. They will definitely make me kill higher-level mutants until I die in their claws. Brother, you must save me!"
Yuan Zhengshan suddenly picked up something on the table, but found nothing. Then he remembered that the whole desk was broken by him, and the things on the ground were swept onto him.
"How dare you come to me! If it weren't for the mess you caused in City No. 2, the Yuan family would have been offered 200 billion, and they also asked us to give up 20% of the market share? This is all because of you!"
Yuan Zhengshan roared so hard that the veins on his neck and face popped out, throbbing with blue and purple alternating, looking extremely hideous and disgusting.
Yuan Zhengzhi was slightly confused, and then he stammered, "I didn't expect it to become such a big deal. The Sima family deliberately took advantage of Sima Mingxue's sacrifice and joined forces with the military and the Zhongli family to target the Yuan family!"
Yuan Zhengshan gnashed his teeth, his face flushed and his neck thickened, "Yes, and you personally handed the handle to them!"
Yuan Zhengzhi said unwillingly, "There was nothing I could do about the situation at that time. Who would have known that Sima Mingxue would be so determined."
"I don't want to hear any explanation!" Yuan Zhengshan said angrily.
It was the first time that Yuan Zhengzhi saw his brother lose his temper. All he had ever seen was a family head and brother who had a plan for everything.
Yuan Zhengshan calmed down his anger and said, "I can't save you this time. When you get to the military headquarters, remember not to say anything you shouldn't say."
Yuan Zhengzhi's eyes widened, "Brother, are you really not going to save me? Are you going to watch me die?"
Yuan Zhengshan's forehead twitched.
"You should know better than me how the military treats prisoners. They will definitely let me go to the main disaster area and fight for them until I die." Yuan Zhengshan said unwillingly. Anyone who knows that the end result will be death if he goes there will not be able to remain calm.
Yuan Zhengshan knew that his brother was very loyal, but just too stupid. "Can't you use your brain to think about it and find a way to escape when you get to the main disaster area?!"
Knowing that there was still a chance to survive, Yuan Zhengzhi didn't care about being scolded, "I understand, brother, please don't give up on me."
Yuan Zhengshan snorted coldly. If it weren't for the fact that it is not easy to train a first-class strong man, and the current situation does not allow him to lose any more strong men under his command, he would not let Yuan Zhengzhi off just because he is his younger brother and has caused heavy losses to the Yuan family.
Yuan Zhengzhi was delighted, thinking that he had such privileges because he was Yuan Zhengshan's younger brother.
