“Yes, I know him. We’ve been through thick and thin together and finally become friends. I called him last night and he agreed to participate.” Tang Xiu said with a nod.
“I have a friend in Haiqing Province also, he’s a great businessman. But he’s not worth mentioning compared to the Miao Group. Although Miao Wentang is very mysterious, but he’s very well-known. He is someone who has a very big influence in Haiqing Province.” Long Hanwen replied with disbelief.
“Actually, I don’t know if he’s that famous.” Tang Xiu said
Long Hanwen laughed and said, “Hahaha. Seems like my worry is unfounded. Tang Xiu, originally, I was worried that the people you invited have no weight. If so, my Long Family, added with Chen Zhizhong and Miao Wentang, our three forces alone are able to suppress the Zhang Family and will make them unable to even breathe. As for the other one… umm, Shao Mingzhen, I’ve never heard of him, what kind of business does he do?”
“He’s from Northern Jiangsu, he runs a venture company. But I don’t know his other identity nor if he has any other companies. But he and Miao Wentang are friends for decades, and I can tell that he’s Miao Wentang’s brother through life and death.”
“To be able to become Miao Wentang’s brother means that this Shao Mingzhen is also someone who has a great background. Anyways, when will they come here?” Long Hanwen said with a sigh.
“We agreed to meet tonight in the Long’s Dining Hall. When we’re all together, we’ll work out the plan.” Tang Xiu said.
Long Hanwen’s brows wrinkled as he pondered for a moment, and then said, “If possible, I think we best not to meet in the Long’s Dining Hall. Don’t forget that the place is the most prestigious restaurant in Star City, there should be a lot of eyes staring at the place. If so many important people gather there, the Zhang Family will certainly hear the news.”
“Where should we meet then?” Tang Xiu asked
“To keep everything confidential and in check, we should meet in Lakeview Manor! This place belongs to me and my life and death brother. I also own the shares there. Also, the place only has a few guests usually, while it also has a high security system.” Long Hanwen said.
“Alright, I’ll inform them about this.” Tang Xiu nodded and said.
“What about the Ouyang Family? When can they give us their reply?” Long Hanwen asked with a smile.
Tang Xiu looked toward the kitchen as he got up and went over, asking, “Big Sis Mu, when did Ouyang Lulu leave?”
“She left very early in the morning, and said she’ll go back to Jingmen Island; she even forgot to bid farewell!” Mu Qingping replied with a smile.
Tang Xiu nodded. He took his mobile and dialed Ouyang Lulu’s number. Ten seconds later, the call was connected and Ouyang Lulu’s voice came over:
“Wait two hours for me, my brother and I are coming. Talk again later.”
“Good!”
Tang Xiu hang up the phone. He came back to the living room and said, “Ouyang Lulu and her brother will arrive in Star City in two hours.”
The smiling expression on Long Hanwen’s face became a lot thicker as he said, “Ouyang Lei is the successor of the Ouyang Family. He’s also the rising star in the business world since he did quite a few big deals after he took over the Ouyang Family’s businesses. And all the deals he did brought quite a lot of income for the family. Since he’s also coming, it can be assumed that the Ouyang Family is also boarding our ship.”
Long Zhengyu suddenly interrupted, “With the joint cooperation of these five forces, the Zhangs are sure to die. I don’t think the Zhangs will be able to last even if the Hu and Xue Family come help them.”
Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “You’re wrong. There’s the sixth force also.”
“Who is it?” Long Zhengyu was surprised.
Pointing to himself, Tang Xiu said with a faint smile, “You think that my Magnificent Tang Corporation is a pushover? We might not have much money as of now, but we still have our own force! Besides, I want my people in the key part of the plan.”
Long Zhengyu laughed involuntarily and then said, “Dang it. My bad, Brother Tang! I, too, heard that you have a group of powerful men- even the security personnel of South Gate Town are not their match.”
“Long Xueyao told you, did she? That’s right. I do have a group of men, and they will also be the ones taking care of this matter.” Tang Xiu said.
Long Zhengyu asked, “Anyway, may I know who they are, Brother Tang? How come you’re able to win them over?”
Tang Xiu smiled. He didn’t answer Long Zhengyu’s question since he didn’t want outsiders to know his secret with the Everlasting Feast Hall. In fact, he could have pulled the Everlasting Feast Hall to deal with this matter, but the Hall was built as a cover for Gu Yan’er, so he didn’t want to create trouble for it.
Suddenly, Long Hanwen said, “Tang Xiu, have you considered pulling Yuan Zhengxuan over? I heard you also have quite a good relationship with him!”
Tang Xiu was silent for a moment before he shook his head and said, “ Yuan Zhengxuan and I don’t have much of a relationship, but his son is my best friend! Besides, his business is very special, so I don’t want to pull him over for this matter.”
Long Hanwen nodded and said, “I know. His business is related to the military, and it’s indeed not suitable for this. However, as long as we give him some hints he will catch the wind, and perhaps he can help deal with some issues also.”
“With so many people involved in this matter right now, you’re still thinking we won’t able to remove the Zhang Family?” Tang Xiu asked in reply.
Long Hanwen stared blankly for a moment, then he shook his head and no longer spoke.
