Chapter 123.
With all parties tacitly agreeing, everyone felt they were ready. The three families, Li and Qu, led by the Shen family, began to systematically hunt the Mu family. Some small and medium-sized enterprises that relied on the Mu family began to suffer. Some of them were strong enough to withstand it, but most of them were either merged or directly swallowed up in this turmoil.
During this critical moment, Mr. Mu, who had long since retired, announced his return to the political arena, and the Mu Group, which had been infiltrated to some extent, made subtle personnel changes during this period.
At the same time, the Mu family also began to fight back. Although they were somewhat stretched thin under the siege of the three families, compared with the complete defeat at the beginning, they were already impressive and made people sigh that the old ones were still the wisest.
At this moment, the heads of the Shen, Li, and Qu families were holding a video conference. The expression on the face of the head of the Shen family was not very good. Although he knew that the Mu family had reached this point, Mr. Mu would definitely not be idle, but he was still surprised to think that he had actually resisted the alliance of the three families with just one move.
"The people we planted in the Mu Group have been found." Patriarch Li said in a deep voice. Ever since the three families decided to take action against the Mu family, they began to sow obstacles in the Mu family.
They had contributed a lot over the years to the rapid decline of the Mu family, but they had not expected that as soon as Mr. Mu came back to power, he would find out and remove all the obstacles they had planted. Now they had no idea of the internal affairs of the Mu Group.
"That's right, but don't worry. We have made sufficient preparations in advance. Although the offensive has been resisted, it can only be sustained temporarily, not forever." said the head of the Qu family.
Although Mr. Mu's experience was beyond his expectations, the current situation was not something he could turn the tide on his own. Although he had temporarily stopped the decline, if he continued like this, the balance of victory would still tilt towards them.
As soon as the head of the Qu family said this, the remaining two people nodded. Although the speed of the attack was not as smooth as they expected, if there were no accidents, the result would definitely be their victory.
"In order to prevent accidents, what's the situation over there?" asked the head of the Qu family in a cold voice. He had suffered a setback at the hands of Qian Yirong, so he was a little dissatisfied with Qian Yirong, but he knew that Qian Yirong had the ability to influence the success or failure of this incident.
"I've asked Tianxing to handle it. Don't worry, if there's any unusual movement over there, I'll notify you all as soon as possible." said the head of the Shen family.
After hearing what Patriarch Shen said, the other two Patriarchs relaxed a little. However, it didn't mean that just because Patriarch Shen said that Shen Tianxing would keep an eye on Qian Yirong, they would be completely relieved and not care about what was happening over there. They would naturally arrange their own people to keep an eye on Qian Yirong's movements.
As for Qian Yirong, she has bought the building where her company is currently located. Although the area where the building is located is not prosperous, as Qian Yirong's company has completely settled down here, the surrounding area has gradually become prosperous.
At this time, Qian Yirong moved to the top floor of the building. Her current office was decorated according to her own preferences. Of course, Xu Baiqing also participated in this decoration, so this time her office was serious but also had some warmth.
Qian Yirong stood in front of the French window in her office, looking at the bustling environment below. With a Bluetooth headset in her ears, she chuckled and asked, "How is it?"
"It has already begun," Xu Baiqing's familiar voice rang in Qian Yirong's ears. She said, "Mu Zexuan and Shen Tianxing both contacted me and asked me to keep an eye on you."
"Since they have already started, we can also make some moves. Let them guess my intentions." Qian Yirong's eyes were filled with burning ambition. She had been looking forward to this for a long time.
"I'm looking forward to it too." Xu Baiqing responded with a chuckle.
They had already discussed it. In this situation, the more Qian Yirong kept silent, the more she would be suspected of plotting something. So Qian Yirong decided to deliberately do something that had nothing to do with them. From then on, both the Shen family's alliance and the Mu family would definitely be on high alert.
However, they will relax a little after they find out that what Qian Yirong did has nothing to do with them at all. If they do this a few more times, they will definitely pay close attention to Qian Yirong in the first few times. But when there are more such things, their attention to Qian Yirong will definitely decrease, and that will be the time for Qian Yirong to show her skills.
"I'll tell you as soon as I move." Qian Yirong said softly.
"Don't worry, I know what to do. I will make both parties trust me." Xu Baiqing said.
Xu Baiqing knew that his early role was to inform both parties of Qian Yirong's initially harmless behavior, and once they believed him, he could cover up Qian Yirong's actions.
"Let them see what we are capable of this time." Qian Yirong was looking forward to the expressions of those people when they finally found out that they were completely set up by her and Xu Baiqing.
"Yeah, I want to know too." Xu Baiqing was also eager to try. He could finally work with Qian Yirong, and it was such a big thing. Xu Baiqing was looking forward to it but also felt a little pressured.
After all, if what Qian Yirong wanted to do was discovered, she would definitely be attacked by both sides. After all, she was targeting both sides, so Xu Baiqing had made up his mind that he could not make any mistakes this time.
So the two parties that were in a stalemate discovered that Qian Yirong started to make a move. Fortunately, they were able to get the news first and then respond carefully. Although they finally found out that it had nothing to do with them, it is always a good thing to be careful.
"I have to thank classmate Bai Qing this time. We noticed Qian Yirong's actions as soon as possible." Shen Tianxing was talking on the phone with Xu Baiqing, thanking Xu Baiqing for notifying him as soon as he discovered that Qian Yirong had taken action.
"I'm just doing what we agreed upon. I hope Mr. Shen, don't forget what you promised me." Xu Baiqing's voice trembled a little, but his tone was firm.
"I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I will never go back on my word to you." Shen Tianxing knew Xu Baiqing's worries. After all, what she was doing was undoubtedly a betrayal to Qian Yirong. If Qian Yirong knew about it, there would definitely be a rift in the relationship between Xu Baiqing and her.
If she couldn't become the one who had the upper hand as Shen Tianxing said, her relationship with Qian Yirong would definitely end there. Shen Tianxing saw from Xu Baiqing's attitude her complicated emotional entanglement with Qian Yirong, and used this to impress Xu Baiqing and make her willing to cooperate with him.
“That’s better.” Xu Baiqing said and hung up the phone without waiting for Shen Tianxing to say anything.
Shen Tianxing listened to the busy tone on the phone, but there was a confident smile on his face. Xu Baiqing had no way to stop. She had already betrayed Qian Yirong. Even if she regretted it, there was no turning back.
The next few times made Shen Tianxing more confident in his judgment. He could always get Qian Yirong's movements from Xu Baiqing at the first time. This not only allowed him to control Qian Yirong's actions, but also made him gain more trust from his father.
As for Mu Zexuan, the most fierce attack was barely blocked by Old Man Mu. He could only help a little in this complicated situation. As for his father, Mu Zexuan would no longer count on him.
Mu Zexuan finally understood why his grandfather didn't let his father help, because the few times he wanted to take action, he made things worse. If he hadn't discovered it early, the situation would probably have gotten worse.
Mu Zexuan was completely disenchanted with the head of the Mu family. He already knew why his grandfather wanted him to take the throne directly after this matter was over. If his father continued to be in power, the next siege would probably not be far away.
In such a complicated situation, only every contact with Xu Baiqing could make him happy. After all, the information Xu Baiqing provided was always timely and accurate, which saved Mu Zexuan from spending more effort on investigation.
Just after both sides confirmed that Qian Yirong had no intention of taking advantage of the situation, the actions of both sides became more intense. After all, once this kind of thing starts, it will not end until the result is determined.
It was becoming increasingly difficult for Old Man Mu to resist. After all, it was a coalition of three families, and their strength should not be underestimated. Moreover, his grandson had not yet grown up to the point where he could help. If he had known earlier, he should have trained Mu Zexuan more.
Old Master Mu was not ready to give up. If he wanted to swallow up the Mu family, he would make them break their teeth. Old Master Mu's methods became more and more ruthless, so that even if the Shen, Li, and Qu families barely gained the upper hand, the benefits they gained only barely outweighed some losses.
"We can't go on like this," Patriarch Shen said grimly during another video conference. "That old man from the Mu family is very ruthless. Even if we win in the end, I'm afraid we'll be seriously injured."
"Then what do you say we should do? Do you want us to ask for peace?" The face of the head of the Li family was a little dark. During this stage, their Li family was the main attacker, so they suffered the most losses, but the benefits they gained were not enough to make up for the losses. After all, the results of the battle were divided equally among the three families.
"How can we possibly ask for peace?" Patriarch Qu retorted without hesitation. "It's already like this. Even if we wanted to stop, the Mu family would never agree."
After the Qu family head finished speaking, the three of them fell silent at the same time, because what the Qu family head said was right. This time, the incident was started by them, and the Mu family also suffered a lot of losses. Even the Mu family would not believe that they were willing to stop.
They might even suspect that they were trying to deceive the Mu family in this way, and then catch them off guard once the Mu family believed them. So even if things didn't develop as they had originally expected, they had no choice but to continue.
"Go on. Don't give the Mu family a chance to breathe. Even if what we get in the end is not as much as we originally planned, it is worse than being counterattacked." The head of the Shen family gave the final word.
The three parties reached a consensus, and the offensive against the Mu family became more and more continuous. Qian Yirong watched everything and knew that she could take action. All the forces of both sides were put into the stalemate on the battlefield and they could not escape. It was a good time for her to enter.
With Qian Yirong joining in, the two sides in a stalemate discovered that while they were trying their best to deal with each other, someone was stealing the house, and had already done a lot. The losses on both sides had reached 10%. There was a feeling of wanting to catch them all in one fell swoop, which made both sides who were fighting fiercely panic.
