Chapter 139 The Demise of the Zhao Family

After learning the other party's identity, Zhao Shanhe immediately contacted Zhang Siyuan, the current puppet head of the Zhang family and Zhang Chengyang's father.

Zhang Siyuan had some personal reasons for being dissatisfied with Shen Lang.

But now he knows that even his thigh can't twist Shen Lang's little finger, and it is because of his only son Zhang Chengyang's relationship with Shen Lang that the Zhang family was able to replace the old Zhang family and become one of the top families in X City.

Among them, Zhang Siyuan truly realized how terrifying Shen Lang was, and also realized how naive his previous thoughts of looking down on Shen Lang had been. He simply stopped caring about anything else and focused only on the affairs of his second son, Zhang Simin, and third son, Zhang Siyu.

He handed over all the affairs of Guosheng Group to Zhang Chengyang and started his retirement life ahead of schedule.

After receiving Zhao Shanhe's call, Zhang Siyuan immediately said that he couldn't handle the matter and had nothing to say about it. He then immediately hung up the phone.

Ignoring his anger, Zhao Shanhe gritted his teeth and dialed Xu Tianying's number again.

However, the phone line was busy. He then made more than a dozen calls, and each time the line was busy.

Clearly, Xu Tianying, the head of the largest family in X City, has blocked his own phone number, which also indicates that the Xu family and the Zhao family, as well as Yaotang Group and Shanhe Group, have officially severed ties.

Left with no other choice, Zhao Shanhe dialed Xia Bingyan's number.

After answering the phone, Xia Bingyan asked, "Patriarch Zhao? What brings you here?"

"Hello, Mr. Xia!" Zhao Shanhe's posture was as humble as possible: "I'm calling you today to apologize to your husband. My son offended your husband quite a bit in Tianxiang City today. I hope Mr. Xia can be lenient and give the Zhao family a chance to apologize?"

Xia Bingyan's sarcastic voice came from the other end of the phone: "What has my husband done to deserve Young Master Zhao's apology? I remember Young Master Zhao saying he would make my husband regret ever being born. Words spoken are like water spilled. The Zhao family head and Young Master Zhao are both intelligent people; they surely know the saying 'spilled water cannot be taken back,' right?"

Hearing Xia Bingyan's sarcasm, Zhao Shanhe felt a surge of anger, but he knew this wasn't the time to lose his temper. So he suppressed his anger and said with a gloomy face, "President Xia, do you really have to be so ruthless? Leave some room for maneuver, so you can meet again in the future."

"Besides, the Zhao family is not to be trifled with. I hope President Xia will think twice before acting."

"It's alright, I'd like to see if your Shanhe Group can escape the siege of the three major groups." After saying that, Xia Bingyan hung up the phone and blocked Zhao Shanhe's phone number.

At this moment, in the VIP reception room of Canglang Group, Zhang Chengyang, the de facto head of Guosheng Group, Xu Tianying, the chairman of Yaotang Group, and Xia Bingyan, the president of Canglang Group, were sitting together.

Xia Bingyan smiled at Zhang Chengyang and Xu Tianying and said, "Chengyang, Patriarch Xu, I'll leave the rest to you."

Zhang Chengyang laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you saying? The affairs of Canglang Group are the affairs of Guosheng Group."

Xu Tianying smiled at Xia Bingyan and said, "President Xia, you're too kind. Since Yaotang Group has chosen Young Master Shen, we will naturally obey your orders."

Xia Bingyan nodded and said, "Then let's all three of us put our skills to use and try to make Shanhe Group famous in X City within four days."

With Xia Bingyan's command, the three major groups that control nearly half of X City's economic lifeline slowly sat up like large machines.

The criticism is directed at Shanhe Group.

After realizing the situation, Xuri Group, which was originally a sister company of the Zhao family, immediately chose to sever ties with Shanhe Group.

Under the offensive of the three major groups, Shanhe Group was completely devastated and on the verge of bankruptcy in just three days.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Shanhe Group officially declared bankruptcy and was removed from the list of companies in X city.

On the fifth night, a short-haired young man wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt visited the Zhao family amidst their grief.

The short-haired youth came quickly and left quickly.

On the morning of the sixth day, when the police arrived at the scene, they found that the entire Zhao family, regardless of age or gender, had perished.

Thus, within six days, the Zhao family, one of the four major contemporary families in X City, was wiped out.

The biggest beneficiary was Canglang Group, whose main business was basically swallowed up by Shanhe Group.

Yaotang Group and Guosheng Group also received a considerable share of the benefits.

The only family in a state of panic was the Lin family of the Xuri Group.

After learning that the Zhao family had been wiped out, Lin Shaoxiong, the head of the Lin family, became restless and couldn't sleep well for half a month.

Given his status and relationship with the Zhao family, he naturally knew that the Zhao family had offended someone they shouldn't have.

But who was this person who shouldn't have been provoked? Even Zhao Shanhe died without figuring it out.

Lin Shaoxiong, the head of the Lin family, was also frantically searching for clues, but to no avail.

The Zhao family only knew that the man was Xia Bingyan's husband, but Xia Bingyan had not registered her marriage with the marriage registry, so they couldn't find a single clue.

This is also thanks to Sun Minghui's overtures.

The first thing Sun Minghui did after taking office was to use his authority, in conjunction with Wang Lianrong's authority, to clear Shen Lang's rear without leaving a trace.

After awakening her Heavenly Demon Body, Qin Shiya slowly woke up a week later. During the following week, Qin Shiya locked herself in her seclusion room and devoted herself to studying the "Heavenly Demon Strategy" sent by Ying Zheng.

This also gave Xia Bingyan time to clean up the battlefield.

Half a month after the Tianxiang City incident, Shen Lang, along with Yu Xian'er and other family members, embarked on a journey on the private jet prepared for him by Xia Bingyan.

On the beach in Sanya, Shen Lang, wearing a pair of shorts, shirtless, and with oversized sunglasses on his face, lay on a beach chair enjoying the sun.

Shuang'er, Qin Shiya, and Xia Bingyan were playing on the beach wearing sexy bikinis.

Yu Xian'er wore a floral dress, revealing her fair legs, and lay down next to Shen Lang.

"Honey, come play with us!" Shuang'er, holding a water gun, ran up to Shen Lang and sprayed him on the head.

Shen Lang waved his hand to shield his face from the seawater that was about to splash on him, and said, "You guys have fun, this great official is thinking about something."

"Huh? What's the problem?" Shuang'er strode up to Shen Lang with her long, snow-white legs and asked curiously.

"What do you know, kid? Get out of here!" Shen Lang waved his hand dismissively.

Shuang'er puffed out her chest and gave a coquettish snort: "I'm older than you, okay?"

Shen Lang glanced at her through his sunglasses and was secretly surprised: "How come this little girl has grown so much?"

"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly!" Shuang'er squatted down next to Shen Lang and hugged his arm, rubbing against him repeatedly.
