Chapter 240: The Pan Family's Reaction
ot comparable to ordinary martial artists."You...who exactly are you" Ma Haolin looked at Ling Hao, his voice trembling."You'll know who I am soon enough!" Ling Hao continued, turning to the young man...News of Buddha's affairs spread throughout the entire Jianghai City in the first instance, causing a stir among all walks of life.
The head of Jianghai's underground forces, Buddha Master, who had stood firm for decades, was overthrown in a single day. This is simply unbelievable.
You have to know, Buddha not only has formidable personal strength, but he also has a large number of capable and unusual people around him. Their combined strength is completely comparable to that of the Four Great Families.
What kind of person could possibly have this much energy!
In the eastern Jianghai City, at the Pan Family Courtyard, within one of the villas' grand halls.
Mr. Pan, the elder of the Pan family, Mr. Pan Muzheng, was sitting leisurely on the sofa sipping tea, with an air of contentment.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
In a moment, the sound of footsteps echoed, followed by Pan Zhenming, the head of the Pan family, rushing in with an anxious expression.
"Father, something has happened!" Pan Zhenming blurted out as he ran forward.
"What's the matter Why are you so flustered" Pan raised his teacup and took a sip.
"The Buddha's lair was raided, all the powerful beings around him were killed, and he himself was taken away!" Pan Zhenming poured himself a cup of tea and drank it down in one gulp.
When he first heard the news, he almost bit his tongue off. He was so shocked.
Cough! Cough! Cough!
Pan Mu was choked by the tea water and after barely calming down, she spoke: "Who did this"
"I'm not sure!" Pan Zhenming shook his head. "There is no information available at the moment!"
"What do you mean" Pan Mu frowned. "Buddha's manor had at least a few hundred people, right All killed"
"No!" Pan Zhenming continued to shake his head. "But the vast majority of them have disappeared, and even if you find a few, they would rather die than say a word!"
"Hmm!" Pan Mu's pupils shrank in a moment.
Wow, really!
What is this person's background
"By the way, Father, it's said that the Rose people have started to annex the industries under Buddha's banner throughout the entire range." Pan Zhenming continued, "Could it be her people who did this"
"That's highly unlikely!" Pan Mu shook his head. "She might have some connections, but she definitely doesn't have that kind of skill!"
"Claiming the Buddha's assets, perhaps it is an opportunity to take advantage of the situation!"
After a slight pause, he continued, "Have someone check the surveillance footage from Buddha's manor."
"Someone has already checked the surveillance footage, but all the cameras, both inside and outside the estate, have been destroyed!" Pan Zhenming shook his head.
"Hmm!" Pan Mu was startled again, pondered for a moment, as if remembering something: "Did the Buddha capture Shen Le"
"Well! I made a move last night!" Pan Zhenming raised an eyebrow: "Father, do you mean the other party might be targeting Shen Le"
"Very likely!" Pan mused, nodding thoughtfully.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
At this moment, the sound of high heels clicking rang out, and then Pan Yijie, the eldest miss of the Pan family, strode in.
"Xiaojie, why are you back Shouldn't you be at work" Pan Zhenming looked a little surprised.
"Grandpa, Dad, you guys should know about Buddha, right" Pan Yijie spoke in an unusually hurried tone.
“We just heard about it too, what happened” Pan Mu put down her teacup and looked at Pan Yi-jie.
"Could it be that someone retaliated after Buddha captured Mr. Shen" Pan Yijie continued to ask.
"Nine out of ten!" Pan Zhenming nodded.
Whew!
Pan Yi-jie let out a heavy sigh, then looked at the two people and spoke.
"Grandpa, Dad, listen to me, about the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce, don't let the Pan family get involved. Let the other three families fight it out!"
“What does it mean” Pan Zhenming was slightly taken aback: “Xiaojie, do you know who did this”
"I'm just guessing!" Pan Yijie took another deep breath: "Grandpa, Dad, do you still remember what happened to Xiaoguang last time"
"Hm!" Pan Mu's pupils constricted slightly. "You mean the big shot from Yingmen made a move"
"The possibility is very high!" Pan Yijie nodded. "Only he has that kind of skill, flipping his hand can pull up Buddha right from the roots!"
Ouch!
Pan Mu and his son both gasped, their faces simultaneously paling with a look of grave concern.
"What is his relationship with Shen Le" Pan Zhenming paused for a moment before continuing to ask.
"As for what kind of relationship it is, I have no idea," Pan Yijie shook her head. "But based on my guess, it must be extraordinary!"
After finishing, he looked at Pan Mu: "Grandpa, can the Pan family withdraw from the Jiang Hai Chamber of Commerce"
"It's difficult!" Pan Mu frowned slightly and shook her head. "If we forcefully withdraw, the Pan family can't afford the consequences. After all, the Jiang Hai Chamber of Commerce isn't something our four families can control."
"Xia Jie, are you worried that the big shot will help Shen Le and Jiang Hai Commercial Association go to war" Pan Zhenming asked.
"Hmm!" Pan Yijie's face was grave.
"Xia Jie, you don't have to worry too much. Even if what you said is true, there's nothing to be afraid of. The Jianghai Chamber of Commerce isn't that easy to deal with." Pan Zhenming continued.
"But I have a feeling, this time, Jiang Hai might experience earth-shaking changes because of his arrival!" Pan Yijie spoke with a thoughtful expression.
"Xiaojie, is there any way we can see him again and get a sense of his feelings" Pan Mu pondered for a moment before asking.
"I'll just try!" Pan Yijie let out a sigh of turbid air.
After finishing, he got up and walked out. Just as he reached the door, he added a sentence.
"Grandpa, Dad, don't tell anyone about this for now!"
Meanwhile.
The other three prominent families, along with the Pan family, were also discussing the same matter, but they reached no conclusions.
……
Ding Dong!
The next afternoon, Ling Hao was discussing matters with Shen Le at the Sihai Group when his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Qin Yufei calling.
"Brother-in-law, my sister said you're in Jiang Hai. Is that true" After the call connected, Qin Yufei's slightly excited voice came from the receiver.
"Heh heh, yeah!" Ling Hao responded with a smile.
"Hmph! Brother-in-law, you came to Jianghai without even giving me a call. Don't want to talk to me anymore!" Qin Yufei pouted on the other end of the phone.
"Haha, I've been busy these past two days. I was planning to call you the day after tomorrow." Ling Hao smiled again.
"You're lying!" Qin Yufei pouted and said again, "Well then, I'll give you a chance to make up for it. Take me out for dinner!"
"Great!" Ling Hao smiled. "Brother-in-law, treat you to a big meal. You can order whatever you want. Just send me the address after you find a place."
"Really" Qin Yufei exclaimed with joy, "You're serious Don't go back on your word! I'll find a place right away!"
"I'm waiting for your message." Ling Hao smiled, said that and hung up the phone.
Ten minutes later, Qin Yufei's text message came.
Then, Ling Hao and Xuan Pang drove towards the hotel.
Half an hour later, Xuanpang parked the car in the parking lot at the entrance of the hotel, and the two got out.
"Brother-in-law, over here!" As soon as the two got out of the car, Qin Yufei, dressed in a professional suit, strode over in high heels. She looked the part.
"Hm Little girl, why are you dressed like this You don't have to go to school, do you" Ling Hao looked up and down Qin Yufei.
"How do I look, brother-in-law Do you think this professional outfit suits me" Qin Yufei struck a pose and twirled in place.
"Don't I look like a city office worker Isn't my sister pretty"think I wouldn't shoot" The mad dog snarled. "I'm counting to three, get down on your knees right now!""This is what you chose!" Lu Tao responded in a low voice."One!" The mad dog started counting.Who...
