Mr. Gu's wife is a little naughty

Chapter 135 The Tian Family’s Counterattack (3)

The surface of the Fan River remained still for far too long, as if even time had stood still in this tranquility. Tian Zhenyuan looked at Hong Dancheng, his eyes gleaming with an unusual light, and whispered, "Fan River, it's time to stir up some waves."

At that moment, we had no idea what was going on in Hong Dancheng's mind, but Fan Jiang was no longer as silent as before.

Like two awakened lions, Shenghua Group and Hongyuan Real Estate began to strike fiercely in the business world. Rival companies that once thought they could sit on the sidelines were utterly routed, unable to resist. Even more striking, even those less established companies, those that existed only as potential threats, found it difficult to escape the relentless pressure from these two giants.

Among those companies facing repression, every one harbored intricate ties to Kyoto, some even originating directly from Kyoto's fertile soil. These subtle signs, while seemingly mere ripples in the vicissitudes of business to the average person, escaped the attention of the worldly-wise and prominent family magnates. They perceived a distinct aura in them, like a flickering light in the night, inviting deep thought.

Li Fengtian, the head of East China Science and Technology, a man who had always remained unperturbed by worldly affairs, could no longer maintain that detachment. His mind was as clear as a mirror, and he immediately saw the deeper meaning behind Tian Zhenyuan and Hong Dancheng's actions—a long-planned counterattack against the Jiang family of Kyoto. Li Fengtian had originally intended to stay out of it, but now he was unhappy. Why? Because the situation had developed beyond his expectations. If this continued, he would be completely wiped out.

"You two are truly the hidden big brothers. In such a big storm, you actually left me, your younger brother, aside. Am I still lacking the trustworthiness of a brother?"

Li Fengtian's long-suppressed anxiety finally surged like a tide. He knew that if he continued to sit idly by, given the current trends of the two major families, the Fanjiang underworld would no longer have room for his small temple. So, he resolutely chose not to stand by and watch, but to go directly to Tian Zhenyuan to seek an explanation. Fortunately, Hong Dancheng was there, which saved him the trouble of traveling from family to family.

Facing the aggressive and angry Li Toyota, Tian Zhenyuan was not in a hurry and still greeted him with a smile.

"Brother Li, what's wrong? Who has offended you again?"

Li Toyota frowned, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes. "Are you planning to monopolize this market? I don't like being excluded, and I've always supported you."

Hong Dancheng also put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up with a smile and pushed Liang Tian to sit on the sofa. "Brother Toyota, what are you talking about? After all, how can we treat you as an outsider? This is not a serious matter, we just don't want to drag you into it."

"Stop pretending to be a good person. Don't I know what you are thinking?" Li Toyota didn't quite believe what Hong Dancheng said. He just glanced at him slightly, then turned to look at Tian Zhenyuan, "This was your idea!"

Tian Zhenyuan didn't make any further excuses for Li Toyota's questioning. He just thought for a few seconds and then looked up at him. "Yes."

Li Toyota snorted coldly, "Why, do you really want to cut off ties with me?"

Tian Zhenyuan was about to speak when Li Fengtian continued, "I know exactly what you're thinking. If you really consider me one of your own, you should know what I'm thinking. I'm not Beihanshan, and I won't be a coward."

Tian Zhenyuan couldn't help but look at Hong Dancheng, who was also looking at him, so he put away his smile and said with an extremely serious expression: "Brother Li, since I have said this, then I have to be frank with you. Big Brother's child is back."

Li Toyota was not too surprised, but seemed very calm, "I knew it a long time ago."

When he said this, the other two people seemed a little surprised and looked at him in astonishment.

Li Toyota smiled coldly, "It's that mysterious Mr. Gu!"

Tian Zhenyuan remained silent, but Hong Dancheng seemed anxious. "How did you know? When did you know?"

"I've had my suspicions ever since he started targeting the Beiming Group. However, I didn't have much evidence at the time, so I kept it secret. Recently, they've done some things that have further confirmed my suspicions."

Li Toyota said calmly.

"Is it the incident in Nanshan?" Hong Dancheng asked.

Li Toyota nodded. "Nanshan is the lifeblood of the Bei family. He's already made a move there. Doesn't that prove something?"

"What exactly is there in Nanshan? I don't believe it's just the location of the Bei family's ancestral tomb." said Hong Dancheng.

Li Toyota sighed softly, "Yes and no."

Tian Zhenyuan thought about it for a moment, then something occurred to him, "Could it be that the old man from Beihan Mountain is hiding there?"

Li Toyota shook his head. "I haven't found out where that old man is yet, but Nanshan is hiding something else."

Hong Dancheng was always impatient, and Li Toyota liked to keep things in suspense, so he got a little anxious. "Can't you just tell me what's going on there?"

Li Toyota gave him a mysterious smile and said, "If you ask me, take me with you."

Hong Dancheng immediately fell silent and looked directly at Tian Zhenyuan. Tian Zhenyuan sighed, "Brother Li, it's not that we don't want to take you with us, but what we are doing now is too dangerous. To put it bluntly, we are actually gambling now, betting that the Jiang family will not dare to attack us."

Li Toyota narrowed his eyes and looked at him in confusion.

"The Long family has freed up their hands now, and perhaps they will take action soon, so we bet that the Jiang family doesn't have the energy to deal with us now." Tian Zhenyuan said bluntly.

"Since you all can gamble, why can't I?" Li Toyota asked puzzledly.

"You are our backup." Hong Dancheng interrupted and said.

Li Fengtian's brow furrowed slightly, as if realizing the complexity of the situation. He said unwillingly, "I don't want to be your backup. I hope to stand shoulder to shoulder with you and deal with this complex situation together. The Jiang family's power is not easily shaken. This is a tough battle for each of us."

Tian Zhenyuan disagreed with Li Fengtian's determination, "You don't have to be so anxious now, listen to me."

"Listen to your bullshit!" Li Toyota could no longer sit still. He stood up and roared in frustration, "Do you treat me as a brother? For all these years, when Big Brother was away, didn't we always come to you for consultation? Why is it that now that Big Brother's child is back, when it's time for us to fight back, you won't let me, your younger brother, take over?"
