My Super Beautiful Lady Boss
Chapter 543 - 543 540 Asking for Help

543: Chapter 540: Asking for Help 543: Chapter 540: Asking for Help Wei Zhentian held the letter in the council hall and asked everyone present, wanting to know if this matter was true.

The answers he received all confirmed its truth.

“Good, good!

Good!”

Wei Zhentian’s body trembled slightly as he sat back down; his hand, holding the teacup, shook tremulously.

He concealed his excitement and said to those who came for peace talks, “Go back and tell Xiong Sandao that the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce needs to carefully consider before giving a reply.”

After hearing this, those people withdrew.

“Tell me, is this really true?”

Wei Zhentian approached Su Xuan, holding him by the shoulders and asking directly.

Su Xuan didn’t speak, only nodding his head.

“You tell me, is it really true?”

He asked Miao Qingfeng, who had just come from the chemistry lab and hurried over upon hearing about the group of strangers in the hall.

Looking utterly bewildered, Miao Qingfeng imitated Su Xuan’s earlier gesture and nodded.

Seeing that Wei Zhentian was about to question him, Song Qingshu took the initiative and said, “Big Master, congratulations, Rongcheng City is now entirely yours.”

Hearing Song Qingshu’s words, Wei Zhentian chuckled, “Heh heh, I have finally lived to see this day; it has not been easy indeed.”

Su Xuan noticed that ever since his son, Wei Sijia, was murdered, the older Wei Zhentian’s mental state had occasionally been abnormal, and today it was even more severe.

It seemed that age was taking a toll on Wei Zhentian’s mind.

Su Xuan secretly rejoiced inwardly, thinking it would allow him to take over the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce more quickly.

Just like Su Xuan, Song Qingshu felt a secret joy.

He had once left for America because he wasn’t chosen as the Boss.

Lingnan’s territory had been established by him, Wei Zhentian, and a few others.

Seeing himself only in the position of the Second Master, Song Qingshu had left for America in frustration.

The reason for his return now was that he saw Wei Zhentian getting old and approaching retirement age, remaining in his position only served to block others without providing any benefit.

Handing over the Chamber of Commerce to such a person, there would be no future.

Thus, even if Wei Zhentian hadn’t called for him, Song Qingshu would have insisted on returning to take over the great opportunity to inherit the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce’s fortunes.

When Song Qingshu learned that Wei Sijia, Wei Zhentian’s son, had been killed by the Black Wolf Gang, he thought to himself, “Heaven is assisting me.” With Wei Zhentian’s heir out of the picture, the only option was to hand over the Chamber to someone capable within the gang.

Song Qingshu had it all calculated that once Wei Zhentian stepped down, he was sure to pass on the mantle to him, allowing the Second Master to rightfully become the Big Master.

“Let’s all go fishing at Changqing Lake tomorrow.”

Wei Zhentian spoke joyfully; he enjoyed fishing but had been too busy with gang affairs.

Now that Xiong Sandao sought peace and no more battles would disturb Rongcheng, Wei Zhentian could finally do what he liked.

“Yes, let’s go together tomorrow,”

Wei Zhentian said with renewed spirits, wanting to dispel the gloom of the past few days and the sorrow of his son’s death.

“Good, tomorrow we’ll all go fishing!”

Song Qingshu told everyone, “It’s Big Master’s wish for everyone to make it if possible.”

Su Xuan sat idly for a moment before getting up to leave.

He couldn’t fathom what Xiong Sandao was really thinking—was he genuinely seeking peace?

Su Xuan speculated to himself that given Xiong Sandao’s personality, it would be unlikely for him to surrender so easily.

Peace talks were virtually out of the question; pondering upon his true motives, Su Xuan felt the need to meet the man himself to understand.

Su Xuan planned to visit the Black Wolf Club to probe for news on whether Xiong Sandao was truly ready to give up everything he had.

Just as Su Xuan was about to head to the Black Wolf Club, he received reports from his spies that Song Qingshu had just seized six more of Xiong Sandao’s venues—that was an alarmingly fast move.

Could it be that Xiong Sandao had anticipated his own defeat all along?

Su Xuan racked his brains but couldn’t grasp Xiong Sandao’s intentions, leaving him no choice but to make a trip to the Black Wolf Club himself.

Xiong Sandao and several Hall Masters had just finished a meeting about how to grow stronger and expand their influence in Rongcheng City.

Peace talks?

Heh, Xiong Sandao lit a cigar and took a puff, slowly exhaling.

This was just a stalling tactic.

It turned out that the Che Family from Beijing had sent someone to meet with Xiong Sandao, asking him to eliminate Su Xuan.

Xiong Sandao had always intended to use Su Xuan until he was no longer useful, and then kill him.

Xiong Sandao still felt somewhat reluctant, especially since Su Xuan had provided intel that led to the complete annihilation of over 1,200 of Lingnan’s elites from Hangzhou.

Xiong Sandao realized how difficult it would be to breach the defenses of the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce without Su Xuan’s assistance.

When the Che Family from Beijing heard Xiong Sandao’s stance, they became furious.

Every organization needs strong backing, and Xiong Sandao was no exception.

He initially relied on officials from Rongcheng, but eventually, those ties were bought out by the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce, which handed out gifts worth over a hundred million just for festivals and holidays.

In the end, Xiong Sandao realized that he and the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce were not even playing in the same league.

The Lingnan Chamber of Commerce spent money like water, and Xiong Sandao found himself stripped of the protection from certain Rongcheng officials, leaving him no choice but to seek even higher officials for protection.

Unexpected events in life can be a blessing in disguise.

The day Xiong Sandao, with a trunk full of cash, planned to visit an old friend in Beijing.

These “old friends” were just acquaintances who had been introduced by others.

Through a series of introductions from acquaintances, Xiong Sandao was eventually brought into contact with the Che Family from Beijing.

At that time, it was a young master of the Che Family who entertained him, who happened to be in need of money due to gambling losses.

Seeing all the cash Xiong Sandao brought, the young master’s eyes gleamed.

Although the young master was wealthy, in his current state of need, he was still moved by Xiong Sandao’s offer.

Xiong Sandao was delighted to see him accept the money.

In today’s society, there are countless things money can accomplish, and Xiong Sandao felt fortunate to have the luck to connect with the influential Che Family from Beijing.

Although Xiong Sandao didn’t ask much from them, whenever money was mentioned, he was generous in giving generous tributes to them.

Eventually, as the young master’s appetite grew, Xiong Sandao became somewhat fearful and began to avoid them.

This was an order from the Old Master of the Che Family, to take out Su Xuan in Rongcheng City.

But Xiong Sandao had his own ambitions, and Su Xuan was the weapon he was using to overcome the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce; he couldn’t bear to kill him now.

At the very least, he wanted to wait until the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce had disappeared from Rongcheng City.

“Go to hell, don’t come looking for us again, trash.”

The young master of the Che Family cursed as he hung up the phone.

Xiong Sandao’s diplomatic endeavors plummeted overnight, with no one to protect him, how could he dare to mix in the big leagues?

When a tree grows too tall, it catches the wind, and the tallest blade of grass is the first to be cut by the scythe.

Xiong Sandao was truly frightened, hence he thought of proposing a truce as a stalling tactic.

A real truce?

Xiong Sandao couldn’t do it in his lifetime.

When Su Xuan arrived at the Black Wolf Gang, Xiong Sandao took him to his own room.

Normally, when he saw Su Xuan, it was in the main hall, and those who could talk with him in his room were usually close associates.

“You really want a truce?”

Su Xuan asked.

He had been thinking about it on the way over and still couldn’t figure out what Xiong Sandao was really up to.

“A truce my ass, it’s just a ruse.”

Xiong Sandao said to Su Xuan, as he offered some fine tea and even handed him a cigarette.

This left Su Xuan flattered and surprised; when had he ever been treated so well?

“Su Xuan, I have a proposal for you.”

“Speak.”

Su Xuan lit up, took a drag, and exhaled rings of smoke through his nostrils.

“We’re no strangers now, so I’ll speak plainly.

Help me take down the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce, and I’ll give you half of the territory.

What do you think?”

Xiong Sandao watched Su Xuan’s face eagerly, but sadly, he could not detect the slightest ripple of emotion there; it was eerily calm.

Su Xuan took a fierce drag on his cigarette and slowly said, “It’s not that I don’t want to help, but that I can’t help for the time being.

You’ve seen the strong team around Wei Zhentian, not to mention that Second Master who just came back, thinking all day about taking you down.

I advise you to be cautious.”

“Hmm, you have a point.”

Xiong Sandao nodded.

In recent days, they had suffered a lot at the hands of the newly appointed Second Master of the Wei Zhentian faction.

This Second Master, Song Qingshu, had rich combat experience, was extremely slippery, ruthless, and often acted recklessly with no regard for the consequences, often ruthless even to his own family.

Such a person was truly someone many feared.

Now, abandoned by the Che Family of Beijing, if Su Xuan did not help him now, the future of the Black Wolf Gang was truly looking bleak, and elimination was just a matter of time.

Without a backer, Xiong Sandao was like a piece of driftwood.

“It would be great if we could latch onto the Lai family, the big tree, but sadly we don’t have the opportunity.”

The Lai family of Beijing was more powerful than the Che Family, Xiong Sandao lamented.

“You’re talking about the Lai family?

Old Lai?”

Su Xuan suddenly said.

“You know him?” Xiong Sandao asked eagerly.

“Yes, pretty well; our relationship isn’t too familiar but isn’t too distant either, I just often play chess with Old Master Lai.”

Su Xuan explained.

“That’s already quite familiar; if it’s not, then there’s no such thing as familiar,” Xiong Sandao marveled internally, having not expected Su Xuan to have such a solid connection in Beijing; expanding one’s influence with such an advantage would be easy.

“Could you introduce me or write a letter of recommendation for me?

I’d like to visit and seek some advice on a few matters.”

Seek advice, my foot, Su Xuan thought to himself; it’s just about giving gifts.

“That’s a bit…”

Su Xuan pretended to be troubled; indeed, Old Master Lai had a good rapport with Su Xuan, but not necessarily with others.

Without Su Xuan’s introduction, Xiong Sandao really couldn’t set foot into the Lai family’s doors.

“If you have any difficulties, just mention them, and I’ll do my best to solve them,” Xiong Sandao said urgently, looking at Su Xuan with hopeful eyes.

After some thought, Su Xuan analyzed and said, “Of course, bringing money is one aspect, but you also need to cater to his interests.

I hear Old Master Lai is also into collecting things.”

“Oh, I see, I get it!

So when do we leave for Beijing?”

Xiong Sandao asked anxiously.

Su Xuan was stunned; he hadn’t agreed to go together.

“Su Xuan, saving a life is like fighting a fire; we are also allies.

Helping me is helping yourself.

What if I give you a share of the Black Wolf Gang, two percent?”

Seeing no reaction from Su Xuan, Xiong Sandao bit his lip and said, “Five percent, that’s already worth tens of millions.”

In truth, Su Xuan hadn’t intentionally avoided responding; he was just pondering the issue.

“Alright, I agree.”

It had been a while since Su Xuan had visited Beijing; this was a good opportunity to have some fun.

Su Xuan advised, “Now that you’ve sought a truce with the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce, maintain a low profile and don’t draw too much attention.

Once the Lai family agrees to help, then you can go all out.”

“Fine, I promise, as long as we can protect the Black Wolf Club,” Xiong Sandao nodded eagerly.

Xiong Sandao was overjoyed and insisted on keeping Su Xuan for dinner, but Su Xuan, fearful of being spotted by spies from the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce and causing gossip, could only keep a low profile as he slipped into a car and left.
