It wasn’t unreasonable for Luo Wenlang to be shocked. For Nine Heavens to be able to deal with the Chen family, Gu Xiqiao’s role in the entire thing was very important. Moreover, the Chen family was very confident, never cleaning up messes of those who went overboard, so some of the evidence collected was very detailed.
But the Bai family was different. As a very prestigious family in the Imperial Capital, the Bai family had everything done under wraps with no leaks, and they were also known to have a very good temperament. They had a lot of business partners, and Nine Heavens was just a new company in an emerging industry. No matter how fast it developed, it couldn’t hide the fact that Nine Heavens had a shallow foundation.
No contacts, shallow foundation, short of time, these were the main problems that Nine Heavens was facing right now.
Compared to the Bai family, Nine Heavens was like an ant trying to move an elephant.
However, something had happened in the Bai family. For the place to be struck by lightning for no reason, outsiders were guessing whether or not the Bai family had done something to make the heavens angry with them? Otherwise, why was it that Bai Villa was the only one that had been struck, when there were so many other villas in the mountainside?
Not only that, but some of the business partners had gone home, listening to their children’s stories which served to add fuel to the flames, and they started to harbor indescribable strange feelings toward the Bai family.
Some people immediately cut ties with the Bai family, in order to avoid any further risks in the future by being involved with them. Others felt that it was purely coincidence, and moved on from the matter quickly.
No matter what happens, the Bai family was still a powerful family. Even if the stock of their companies plummeted, they had such a strong background that they would still be able to support themselves through this difficult time.
Luo Wenlang was not aware, but the Chen family was very much the same. Collecting evidence was an easy thing to say, but very difficult to do. For Gu Xiqiao to be able to smash through the barriers and manage what she did, it was more than enough to prove how powerful she was in her capabilities.
Naturally, Gu Xiqiao didn’t enlighten him on all these matters.
“I know you’re worried that this plan will need a long time, but acquiring the Bai family is something that I will insist upon.” Gu Xiqiao had prepared the plan, and the acquisition of the Bai family was imperative to her. The sins that the Bai family had committed were too deep.
There had been an overwhelming amount of evil aura above Bai Villa, to the point it was almost suffocating, as though every one of them held a few lives in their hands.
It seemed to have become a tradition for the Bai family to kill people using the Soul Extinguishing Seal.
On the surface, they seemed to be a family that was kind to others, and didn’t take to heart any offense that others directed at them. On the back however, they were like a completely different family, not even letting a three-year-old go, using arrays that killed people without any visible signs. Their enemies would die, but they would still be able to maintain their reputation as they wouldn’t be found to be involved at all. The Bai family was indeed too horrifying and sinister.
If she didn’t destroy the Bai family, she wouldn’t be able to live with herself.
No matter what type of enemy she would face, no matter how big the storm ahead was, Gu Xiqiao was still Gu Xiqiao. She wouldn’t back down just because someone stood in her way, she would be as strong as her enemies were.
