Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Concentrated Capital

Less than fifteen minutes passed, and the Zhao Family’s stock market completely collapsed, with the remaining assets of over two hundred billion instantly cleared to zero.

Yet the downward trend of the stocks hadn’t stopped, continuing to plummet several dozen points more.

As a result, not only had the Zhao Family lost everything, but they were also deep in debt.

They could only auction off the tangible assets they currently held to pay off their debts.

Chen Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, the Zhao Family was truly finished this time.

However, one thing still worried Chen Yu, although everything was within his plan, the Zhao Family’s collapse had happened too quickly.

This proved that a portion of the capital had actively detached from the Zhao Family before its collapse.

After all, they were once a superfamily that stood tall in the imperial capital, they would inevitably have some tricks up their sleeve.

In the western outskirts of the imperial capital, an abandoned factory.

Zhao Zhongde led a group of Zhao Family members gathered here.

However, the expression on each person’s face was different, some looked as if they were facing the end of the world, some seemed unwilling to stay, eager to leave.

“Everyone! When the Zhao Family’s stock market collapsed, many of you chose to protect your own interests, withdrawing all your assets. Now, I hope you can bring out these funds to help the Zhao Family through this difficult time.”

Zhao Zhongde’s tone was as commanding as always, but there was an obvious plea in his words.

“Old Master, when the Zhao Family started its business, we were related by marriage, and we staked everything to gamble with your family! But now you’ve provoked those you shouldn’t have, causing the Zhao Corporation to fall apart. Do you still expect us to drag everyone down with you to your grave?”

A middle-aged man suddenly stood up, speaking righteously, instantly resonating with everyone present.

They got up one after another, criticizing the impractical business plans Zhao Zhongde had put out over the years, which dragged them down as well.

Zhao Zhongde was furious but found himself helpless.

The Zhao Family had fallen and lost their status as a superfamilia, leaving them no way to restrain the people before them.

Besides, they had already established their own private companies just before the Zhao Family collapsed, marking a clear separation from the Zhao Family.

“Enough!”

Zhao Hai suddenly stood up, walked straight up to Zhao Zhongde, and pressed him down onto his wheelchair.

“It’s because of your indecision that the Zhao Family has fallen to this state!”

Zhao Zhongde’s pupils dilated in shock, full of disbelief. He had never expected Zhao Hai to treat him like this.

“Xiao Hai, what are you doing?”

Zhao Hai flipped him to the ground, turned, and pointed at the people before him.

“In my eyes, you’re nothing but a bunch of dogs. The Zhao Family gave you food, gave you the status you have today, and yet you dare to bite the hand that feeds you.”

With those words, streaks of cold light suddenly flashed from the side. Dozens of burly assassins, armed with knives and clubs, leaped out from the ruins of the factory.

“Zhao Hai, what do you mean by this?”

The previously boisterous middle-aged man remained defiant.

Little did he know, as soon as he spoke, a steel knife traced an arc, plunging directly into his chest.

There was a moment of silence at the scene, followed by sharp cries.

Dozens of steel knives charged into the crowd, beginning a massacre.

These people evidently had instructions in advance, targeting the bodyguards who had come with the Zhao Family members.

Zhao Hai stepped onto a stone stump from a pool of blood.

“You bunch of despicable scum! You’re just a pack of dogs raised by our family, and you really take yourselves for something.”
