The upheaval in the Qin and Fu families did not last long.
Fu Jingheng waited for five days.
When everyone who was going to jump around did, he made his move.
First, he swiftly seized the Fu family's shares scattered in the market, then revealed his identity as the mastermind behind Mo's International, and invested heavily in the Fu family, quickly filling the Fu family's financial hole.
It's quite simple and brutal: if you need money, give money; if you need people, give people; if you need connections, give connections; and while you're at it, give a good kick to those who are jumping around the most powerful.
The Jiang and Lu families suffered the most.
Jiang Ruojin, the current head of the Jiang family, was arrested by the police on suspicion of intentional homicide. He confessed to the crime before the police could investigate and collect evidence.
Grandpa Jiang decided to offer nearly one-fifth of the Jiang family's assets as compensation and requested a private settlement.
Fu Jingyuan agreed.
To be precise, it was Old Master Fu, who had finally woken up, who agreed.
As people get older, they tend to become more nostalgic.
Just like how Grandpa Jiang, despite his own illness, brought Bian Su to diagnose and treat him after hearing about his illness, Grandpa Fu couldn't bear to see his old friend, who was already quite old, watching his son go to prison after his daughter went to prison.
Therefore, he accepted the compensation from the Jiang family.
Although she was spared imprisonment, Jiang Ruojin's fate was not much better, and was even worse.
Although Grandpa Jiang saved him at a great cost out of fatherly affection, he kicked him out of the house immediately after getting him out.
He left with nothing.
Aside from two sets of everyday clothes, they didn't let him take anything with him, and they even removed his name from the Jiang family genealogy.
He also issued a death order: anyone in the Jiang family who dared to secretly help him would be kicked out of the Jiang family along with him.
With nowhere to turn for help, Jiang Ruojin, after going hungry and sleeping outdoors for several days, could only make a living by doing manual labor.
Having grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth, she was incapable of heavy work. After just three days, she found herself unable to do this or that, and her whole being was enveloped in negative emotions, growing more gloomy and cynical each day.
In the end, in order to take revenge on the Jiang family and Old Master Jiang, he actually smashed his head against the front gate of the Jiang family and died.
Even his death infuriated Old Master Jiang, who almost followed him in death.
Grandpa Jiang was sent to the emergency room again.
Meanwhile, the Lu family was in even greater turmoil than the Jiang family.
Lu Heng, the head of the family, mysteriously disappeared. The day after his disappearance, a large number of special forces officers flooded into the Lu family home, exposing the secret room in Lu Heng's villa to the Lu family and revealing Lu Heng's true nature to everyone.
The dark room, less than ten square meters in size, was a complete crime scene, filled with various white skeletons, severed limbs, and blood, some dried and some fresh.
One glance is enough to send chills down your spine.
No one could have imagined that Lu Heng, who was usually upright, self-disciplined, and serious, was actually such a pervert behind the scenes!
As the secret room was exposed, the truth about the deaths of the people in the Lu family who were directly or indirectly killed by Lu Heng gradually came to light.
The Lu family was plunged into unprecedented chaos. Power struggles, factional disputes, betrayals from within, and suppression from without were gradually eroding the resources and connections the Lu family had accumulated over the past century, and step by step forcing the Lu family out of the ranks of the four great families of Tiandu.
The Jiang and Lu families are completely finished.
In contrast, the Fu and Qin families, who were initially thought to be the most affected by this incident, quickly stabilized after a brief period of chaos, and even improved their situation.
With the investment from Mo's International, the number one business empire in China, the Fu family not only plugged the loopholes but also benefited from the misfortune by expanding into the international market, further solidifying the status of the leading family.
And the Qin family...
It must be said that the Qin family is a rather remarkable family.
When they first settled in Tiandu, no one took the Qin family seriously, believing that the so-called number one family in Ancheng was not even a third-rate family in Tiandu.
It's not worth mentioning.
But the Qin family stood firm. Not only did they stand firm, but they also relied on a smart project to elevate the Qin family to a level that ordinary families could hardly reach in just over a month, quickly establishing themselves in Tiandu.
Faced with this siege from the top of the pyramid in Tiandu, everyone felt that even with the protection of the Fu family, it would be difficult for the Qin family to continue to stand firm in Tiandu.
After this incident, the best outcome for the Qin family is to be reduced to their original state, withdraw from Tiandu, and return to Ancheng. The worst outcome... is complete collapse.
But once again, the reality surprised everyone.
The Qin family did not even receive help from the Fu family or Mo's International.
Just when the Qin family's stock price was on the verge of collapse and the project was about to fail, Qin Shi'an, the second young master of the Qin family who rarely appeared in public, returned with a huge sum of money and made up for the shortfall.
On the other hand, due to Lu Heng's actions, nearly a third of the people in Qin's IT project department defected and stole a batch of the most core programs, which they then released online.
Although it was only half a day, it was enough for IT companies that were interested in this area to copy and save all of these documents.
The Qin family's smart project was on the verge of ruin.
However, five days.
Only five days.
After five days of silence, the Qin family suddenly announced that the second-generation AI robot would be launched in a month and even released a sample.
They are three AI robots from the Boonie Bears series.
AI Xiong Da, AI Xiong Er, and AI Bald Qiang.
The design is quite funny; when we first saw it, many of our rival companies almost burst out laughing.
But as the Qin family gradually demonstrated the capabilities of the three robots, their smiles faded.
It has self-awareness, can make judgments independently, and can even capture human emotions and give corresponding feedback.
It's completely different from other AI robots on the market!
It's even better than the first-generation AI that Qin released before!
The executives at the rival companies, looking at the core code they had just acquired, suddenly felt it wasn't so appealing anymore...
This kind of "not fragrant" reached its peak after Tianjin University's Materials Research and Development Laboratory announced that it would cooperate with the Qin family to create a second-generation AI with high defense and high combat power using newly developed materials!
They're leaving people no way to survive!
Qin Sheng didn't care whether they had a way to survive.
She spent five days working with the remaining IT engineers at Qin's company to upgrade and rewrite the core program, and also contacted the Tianjin University Materials Research and Development Laboratory to sign an exclusive agreement with them.
Finally, as she stepped out of her office, she bumped into her parents and her older brothers.
The whole family, all standing neatly together, were staring at her without blinking.
Qin Sheng felt inexplicably guilty under their gaze and couldn't help but take a step back: "Why are you all here?"
Qin Zheng: "Someone has come to my house."
Gu Yueming: "One of them is called Uncle Zhang."
Qin Muyuan: "He claims to be from the Xuanyuan family of Compound No. 1."
Qin Shi'an: "Looking for you."
Qin Zhihuai: "They said you're their eldest daughter."
Qin Zhao: "How do you explain that?"
Qin Sheng: "..."
