"Mad dog?" Liu Shu stroked the wolf-head mask on his face. Ever since his face was cut, he no longer wanted to show his injured face to others. Whenever he went out, he would wear a scary wolf-head mask on his face. Today was no exception. "Any normal person can tell that I am just questioning you. It's not like your Lan family hasn't done this before."
"Anyone knows that I left the Lan family and started my own business a long time ago----" Lan Shan Gu said with a sinister look in his eyes.
"Yes. Because you have successfully started your own business, your father has awarded you all the shares of Longtu Group----" Even though Liu Shu's face was covered by a wolf head mask, everyone present could still sense his strong sarcasm. "No one here is stupid. Can you put away those little tricks your family is playing?"
Lan Shan Gu grinned and said, "So what do you think we should do?"
"Du Qing has been crippled. The war has just begun and we have already suffered heavy losses. However, this time we are facing a single person or a family. We all need to go all out and not take any chances. If the people present cannot unite, they may defeat us one by one. At that time, we will have no chance."
"Do you think that as long as we go all out, we will have a chance to win?" Jiang Shangxin asked, looking at Liu Shu. Perhaps it was because of the strange mask, or perhaps it was because of his personality, this man had a sinister and treacherous aura all over his body. It made people feel cold when they saw him. If it wasn't for Fang Yan, Jiang Shangxin really didn't want to sit with such a weirdo to drink tea and chat.
"No." Willow said neatly.
"Then you still want us to fight them to the death?"
"Only by fighting them desperately and making them pay a price can we make them face up to our power, be afraid, and doubt their own actions. It is normal for them to destroy our family, but in their minds, it is natural to do it easily without making a big fuss. However, if they encounter fierce sniping every time they take action, and the price they pay is getting higher and higher, then they will have to be cautious. Forcing them to do so will only provide opportunities for their competitors."
"But have you ever thought that if the Jiang family encounters fierce resistance, it will only arouse their ferocity. I know the Jiang family. They care too much about their reputation. Once they take action, they will fight to the death. No matter how much it costs, they must crush the opponent. Otherwise, they will become a laughing stock in the mouths of others. They will never do such a thing."
"What's the difference?" Liu Shu's eyes swept across Jiang Shangxin, looked at Fang Yan and said, "They have already taken action, and they will definitely fight to the death. They will never stop until we are eliminated. In this case, do we have any better choice?"
Lan Shan Gu looked at Liu Shu and said with a smile, "So, your Liu family is going to fight to the death with the Jiang family?"
"That depends on your attitude towards this matter." Liu Shu said in a cold voice, "If you resist the Jiang family with all your strength, the Liu family will definitely not stand aside. If you only use the strength of one person, then the Liu family will definitely not sacrifice the strength of the entire family to fight with others to the death. If the Liu family dies or becomes disabled, you will be able to thrive and cling to the Jiang family again. The Liu family will never do such a thing. If we die, we die together. If we live, we live together. If you can cling to the Jiang family, the Liu family can do the same."
The people present were all Fang Yan's most trusted confidants in Huacheng. Before the battle even started, these people started arguing.
They not only represent individuals, but also a family that was once and still is very prominent. Are the interests of the individuals consistent with the interests of the family? Is the family willing to gamble on the future of the family and stand with them
These things are so complicated that even Fang Yan doesn't have any more solutions.
While they were exchanging verbal attacks, Fang Yan held his teacup and drank his tea quietly, not stopping them or saying anything, but just watching them quietly, as if he wanted to see some clues from their fierce or harsh words.
Fang Yan didn't come out of his trance-like state until he heard Liu Shu say, "If we die, we die together; if we live, we live together."
Fang Yan looked at the willow tree, then at Lan Shan Gu and Jiang Shang Xin who were sitting next to him, and said with a smile: "If we want to live, we will live together, but if we want to die, I hope I die alone-----"
"Young Master, please don't say such things-----" Lan Shan Gu hurriedly stopped him. "We are all comrades on the same ship. If the ship is sunk, who can survive?"
"I don't mean that -" Willow explained. "I just hope that everyone can stay together and not be torn apart one by one."
"You saved my life." Jiang Shangxin giggled and said, "If it weren't for you, I might have died in Paris a long time ago. Sister Lu, please don't be angry about this. My life is yours. You can take it away anytime you want."
"I'm not angry." Lu Chaoge glanced at Jiang Shangxin and said, "Mine too."
Fang Yan waved his hand and said, "There is one thing we must admit. The reason why the Jiang family launched this attack is because they hate me the most. Of course, if they just hated me, they would not be willing to spend so much money to do this. It's because of interests. If I am gone, can you keep the magic cube and protect Chao Yan's interests?"
"The Jiang family and I are fighting for life and death, and you and the Jiang family are fighting for interests. Even if you fail, you will only lose some interests. Find someone to say some soft words and grit your teeth to give up some interests. This is something that everyone can accept. So, I still say that if I need to die, let me die alone. However, if you are willing to protect your own interests and stand with me to do something, I will be grateful."
Lan Shan Gu's eyes flickered, and then he finally made up his mind and said, "Young Master, before I say that, I need to go back and discuss it with the old man first----"
Fang Yan nodded and said, "I understand."
It was Liu Shu who took the lead and said, "Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven. As long as the Liu family can give us something, we will definitely not be stingy. This time, let my Liu family take the lead."
The general looked at Fang Yan with great care and said, "I have nothing to offer. The only thing I have is what you gave me - I can only fight to the death."
Lu Chaoge didn't say anything, but just held Fang Yan's hand tightly.
He is born, he is already born.
He is dead, already dead.
Fang Yan laughed, raised the teacup in his hand, and said, "The world is so wonderful, let's just live to the best of our ability."
"To live."
Everyone raised their teacups and gently clinked them against Fang Yan's cup.

At noon, the real offensive of the Jiang family finally arrived.
First, the Liu family's cargo ship was seized by the coast guard, saying that someone reported them for suspected smuggling. Li Mingzhu, the head of the shipping company, went to negotiate with the coast guard, but the coast guard refused to give in. Li Mingzhu agreed to let them inspect the ship to clear her company's name, but the coast guard said that there were too many ships waiting in line for inspection, and it might not be their turn for a while.
You know, cargo ships have a delivery date. If they fail to deliver within the specified time, they will have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages.
They seized more than 100 Liu family ships and more than 10,000 containers, and almost sealed up the entire shipping company controlled by the Liu family. Not to mention how much money the Liu family would have to pay to customers if they failed to deliver the goods on time, the daily losses of the shipping company alone were an astronomical figure.
The Liu family started out in shipping and cargo transportation. They started from this link and then triggered the collapse of the entire industrial chain.
As long as they don't let go, the Liu family won't be able to deliver the goods. If they don't deliver the goods, they will have to pay double the penalty.
More importantly, all customers will understand that there is no security guarantee in cooperating with the Liu family. In the future, which company will be willing to cooperate with the Liu family and ask them to transport goods
This was a fatal blow to the Liu family.
Lan Shan Gu was not having a good time either. After he left the Lan family, he founded a trading company. He made a lot of money in the past few years while helping Chao Yan sell Rubik's Cube products. The company expanded rapidly and now began to take shape.
However, today the trading company was suddenly closed down, saying that they were involved in tax evasion----
Fang Yan didn't know if Lanshan Valley had evaded taxes, but to be honest, how many companies in China didn't evade taxes? Even government officials were trying to find invoices to take back for reimbursement.
The reason why Lanshan Valley was targeted was simply because someone wanted to touch them.
The sales company was investigated and the sales channel was broken, which naturally affected the delivery and sales of the Rubik's Cube, and affected consumers' purchases and the following market demand-----
Not only Lanshan Valley encountered difficulties, but the Lan family also suffered from their crazy attack. Scandals broke out in the two listed companies controlled by the Lan family, and they were hit by the limit down as soon as they opened. And according to the current trend, it may be difficult to recover for a while, triggering a selling frenzy. If that time really comes, the Lan family's stocks will be no different from waste paper.
What made Fang Yan most angry was that Jiang Shangxin had a car accident when he went to Longtu Group to take control of the overall situation. (To be continued)
