But although his actions might be a bit ruthless, Xiao Qi Tian thought that it was not so bad after all..

He wondered what Qiao Zheng Hong would do next?

Allowing Qiao Lin to keep his tongue, wasn’t it so that Qiao Zheng Hong would know about the news? He wondered if Qiao Zheng Hong would make an attempt to escape immediately?

“Send someone to keep an eye on Qiao Zheng Hong and report to me once there is any news.”

“Yes, Master.”

After he left, Xiao Qi Tian got up but sat back down again. Casually twirling the quilt beside him, he thought to himself: It seems like there will be a good show to watch soon.

On the other hand, Ning Meng Yao looked at the letter she received and her face revealed a faint smile.

“Tian Chang, you can strike now.”

“Okay.”

After receiving Yu Feng’s letter, Ning Meng Yao gave a series of instructions to Qing Xuan. Everyone started to get busy.

Within a short period of three days, Qiao Tian Chang got to know the strength of the Tong Bao Zhai. In just three days, many of the Qiao family’s shops were shut down and were going to be sold.

As for Ling Residence and Xiao Residence, businesses were still fine for them and they were only affected slightly.

Ling Luo was in his own study room as he frowned slightly at Ming Fang, “What exactly is going on here? Why did Tong Bao Zhai lay a hand on us?”

“I don’t know, but Tong Bao Zhai started to pressure us since three days ago. Xiao Residence and Qiao Residence were affected as well. Two-thirds of Qiao family’s shops are already facing a state of closure and Tong Bao Zhai would not spare whoever helps them.” Ming Fang also wasn’t sure what exactly was going on.

Ling Residence and Tong Bao Zhai never had any form of business relationships. They would also not take the initiative to provoke that giant. However, they were now laying a hand on Ling Residence, which was unexpected.

“Go and investigate, what exactly is going.” Ling Luo had some means to continue business without being much affect, but for how long could it last? Over time, they were bound to face it head on. Even if they didn’t work together with Tong Bao Zhai, Ling Luo knew that there were numerous capable people in there. There might even be a genius in business.

Going against Tong Bao Zhai would only lead to bankruptcy, as such, he had never provoked them at all.

Xiao Yi Lin was also thinking the same as well.

Xiao Yi Lin had been afraid that Qiao Tian Chang would take revenge, but that revenge never came. Instead, the suppression from Tong Bao Zhai came.

Three days ago, Tong Bao Zhai started to pressure Xiao Residence’s businesses, but it wasn’t a huge blow to them. It was as if they were just playing with them instead, like a cat chasing a mouse.

“Xiao Cheng, go and investigate why Tong Bao Zhai is laying their hands on us.”

“Yes, Master.”

With both families investigating this matter at their best, Xiao Qi Tian got to know of it first.

Cornering the Qiao family within three days so effortlessly, what would happen if they were to go full force?

Xiao Qi Tian did not think that it was Ning Meng Yao who became softhearted. Instead, it was as if she had wanted to see the three families at their last gasp.

Now, Ling Residence and Xiao Residence had already begun to investigate the cause behind it. He wondered what expression would they show when they knew who was behind it?

Especially Ling Residence. It would be an absolutely unexpected disaster, and this was only just the beginning.

Once Yu Feng and Mu Chen received the news that the people in Ling Residence were searching for them, their eyes were filled with coldness. If they dared to bully their little Yao’er, they were just simply asking for death.

If Ning Meng Yao didn’t say she wanted to oversee the entire operation, they could have ruined the three families in an instance with just a flick of their fingers..

“Mu Chen, why don’t we go and see little Yao’er?” Yu Feng leaned on the chair and cast a faint glance at Mu Chen who was beside him.

Their little nephew was gone because of those three families. The anger in their hearts was difficult to describe with words, and they were also slightly dissatisfied with Qiao Tian Chang. Didn’t he say that he could protect little Yao’er well? Since things had already become like this, they must teach him a lesson the next time they see him to let him know the consequences of letting little Yao’er get hurt.

Mu Chen glanced at Yu Feng, “Not now.”

“Ai, little Yao’er is also too much.” How could Yu Feng not know what Mu Chen meant? It was indeed not the time for them to go and see her yet.

It would be too boring if they let those people find out about little Yao’er’s identity too soon. She indeed had a bad habit of watching others worry in fear while stepping slowly towards their despair.
