Chapter: 2733
He Yingxiu asked her father, “Dad, do you have any plans in mind?”
He Hongsheng replied, “I’ve thought it over. I think we should focus on cooperating with families in Yanjing. There are many powerful families here, like the Su family, the Ye family, and the Gu family. Remember, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I believe the Du family is also considering this. With Du Haiqing’s situation still unclear, they won’t want to lose out either.”
He Yingxiu nodded but said, “Dad, those three families are very strong. Cooperation would be beneficial, but I don’t recommend working with the Du family.”
He Hongsheng looked curious and asked, “Why not?”
He Yingxiu explained, “The Du family is in a unique position. Their future generations are successful in business and have people in high places. Even if they are unhappy with the Su family, they are unlikely to partner with us, a martial arts family. It would hurt their reputation, and they wouldn’t be able to justify it to others.”
Realization hit He Hongsheng, and he exclaimed, “That makes sense! I’ve been feeling that the Su family has been unlucky lately. Their large ocean transportation business suddenly lost its license, which seems like it could be the Du family’s doing.”
“Yes,” He Yingxiu confirmed. “The Du family will definitely use reasonable and legal methods to achieve their goals. Even if they play by the rules, they see us martial arts families as being on the edges of society. They will want to distance themselves from us.”
He Hongsheng nodded and said, “I understand. It looks like we need to find a way to work with the Ye family instead.”
“Gu Family!”
After speaking, He Hongsheng stood up and said, “Yingxiu, I will transfer another 10 million to you privately. You can search again in the Jiaodong Peninsula. If you still can’t find it this time, please consider your own well-being. We can’t let you and the whole He family suffer!”
He Yingxiu nodded, feeling grateful. “Thank you, Dad!” she said, her voice a bit choked with emotion.
He Hongsheng waved his hand and added, “But don’t tell your brother about this, okay?”
“I understand, Dad!” she replied.
Just as He Yingxiu finished speaking, her phone rang. It was a landline from Jinling with a number ending in six or eight. She was a bit surprised but answered, “Hello, who is this?”
On the other end of the line, Chen Zekai politely asked, “Is this Ms. He Yingxiu?”
“Yes, this is she. Who are you?” she replied.
Chen Zekai quickly introduced himself, “Hello, Ms. He. My name is Chen, and I am the person in charge of the Ye family in Jinling.”
He Yingxiu was taken aback. “The Ye family?!” she exclaimed, unable to speak for a moment. Just before this call, she had been discussing the Ye family with her father, and now someone from that family was calling her!
