Chapter 447: Chapter 447: I’m Petty and Vengeful

In the quiet bar.

Everyone felt threatened.

The silent Three Elders, as if they could hear their own heartbeats.

The oppressive aura emanating from Lin Fan was simply too intense.

That suffocating feeling, as if someone was stepping on their chests, made them hang their heads low, too afraid to speak.

Originally hoping to fish in troubled waters and regroup.

They had not anticipated both losing their wives and weakening their forces.

"By the way, I haven’t yet heard about the past glories of the Three Elders. Why don’t you tell me about it?"

Seeing that the three were afraid to speak, Lin Fan smiled and turned his head.

Speaking to Lu Feifei who was snuggling on his shoulder.

"The one in the middle, Mr. Ge, nicknamed Ge Sandao, used to make a living by killing fish. Later, he led a gang and took over the dock’s freight output. At his peak, he had over five hundred brothers under him. Twenty years ago, he retired and opened a yacht club, and has been a figure in the business world ever since."

"Mr. Geng, nicknamed Xiao Miley, made his fortune in transportation. Back in the day, when Jiangning started mining, his fleet was essential. At his peak, he had over a thousand transport vehicles and monopolized the entire transport industry. Twenty years ago, he retired and took contracts for local taxis and buses, amassing a wealth over a billion."

"Mr. Meng is even more incredible, also called Meng the War God. Initially, with two blades, he secured peace in thirteen streets, specializing in underground money exchanges and casinos. He too retired twenty years ago and now owns over a dozen gold shops across the province, naturally amassing wealth in the billions."

Lu Feifei immediately exposed the Three Elders’ pasts.

Twenty years ago, these three indeed dominated the scene.

Each had their own territory in Jiangning and, coinciding with Jiangning’s development, transitioned into legitimate businessmen.

But over the years, they still kept ties with the underworld.

Remaining honored guests of the Three Elders Association.

"So, they were all tide players. My apologies, my apologies."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, smiling at the changing expressions of the three.

"We were blind and set foot into territory we shouldn’t have, please spare us, I assure you this will never happen again!"

Mr. Ge, looking at the immovable Ge Lei, was pale.

This initiative was taken only because of Ge Lei’s instigation.

Now he regretted it deeply.

"Yes, yes, yes. The past is like smoke. We are old indeed and can’t keep up with the times anymore. The underworld now belongs to Sister Phoenix. I assure you there won’t be any interference whatsoever."

"Exactly, we are all old now. We just want to live a quiet life. We will no longer involve ourselves in underworld matters, nor can we manage to."

Mr. Ge and Mr. Meng also nodded in agreement.

They now just wanted to quickly escape this place with their people.

"Don’t say that, how can you not care, and how could you possibly not manage? I have heard that people from several factions have already joined you. So, it seems your hands are not truly clean. Since that’s the case, don’t bother cleaning them anymore. All of you are elders, and you should certainly provide more guidance to Phoenix in the future, after all, the underworld folks live and die together."

Lin Fan flatly rejected the three men’s request.

The underworld path is easy to enter but hard to leave.

They had retired for twenty years but were still compelled to return.

This clearly shows that the wealth of the underworld is no small matter.

"Live and die together... What does that mean?"

Lin Fan’s words left the three baffled.

Wondering how such a term suddenly came up.

After thinking for a long time, Mr. Ge couldn’t help but ask.

"The meaning is quite simple. You know, Sister Phoenix and Mr. Wang are at odds, and Mr. Wang will definitely make a move against Phoenix soon. As elders, you surely can’t stand by and watch a junior being bullied. So, since your hands aren’t clean, you might as well come and help, especially given your influence in the business world, it shouldn’t be too hard."

Lin Fan looked at the three with a smile.

His words were very clear.

Because you’ve come back, don’t expect to leave again.

You must bind your interests with Phoenix as one community.

"No, no, no... We are truly old now, and we no longer have the spirit to engage in fierce struggles. I just want to retire and keep out of everything."

Mr. Ge was the first to refuse.

He knew that the grudge between Lu Feifei and Wang Hu this time was irreconcilable.

If he got involved, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Although the other two didn’t explicitly say so, it was clear from their eyes.

They certainly wouldn’t tear their faces off with Wang Hu just for Lu Feifei.

"Oh, so that’s how it is."

Lin Fan smiled and picked up the phone, dialing Zhou Yizheng’s number.

"Hello, arrange for someone to check on Jiangning’s Ge family’s canal transport company, the Geng family’s transportation management company, and the Meng family’s gold shop. I’m quite curious when these three will shut down for good."

"Understood!"

As the president of the Silver Supervision Committee, Zhou Yizheng naturally understood what Lin Fan meant.

After hanging up the phone, he made a few more calls.

"Ding-a-ling-a-ling..."

In less than three minutes, the phones of Mr. Ge, Mr. Geng, and Mr. Meng simultaneously rang.

All calls were from the CEOs of their companies.

And there was only one topic of discussion: the Silver Supervision Committee had issued a notice that there were operational problems in the three companies. All accounts and funds of the three companies were to be sealed, and an investigation team should be established as soon as possible to enter the companies and strictly inspect any illegal or disciplinary actions.

"What!"

The three felt as if the earth had spun around after listening.

They had also heard Lin Fan’s phone call just moments earlier.

But they thought it was just boasting.

Unexpectedly, the Silver Supervision Committee suddenly took action, which was an official mandate.

The financial directors and vice-presidents of the three companies had already been summoned immediately.

In such large companies, the accounts always had some issues or another.

Once seriously investigated, the consequences would be unimaginable.

And those who had previously protected them had also made calls saying they had offended someone they shouldn’t have.

No one could help them anymore.

"A single call destroyed three large companies; what kind of power is this!"

"Damn, how is this guy so omnipotent?"

"The three companies were closed just like that; it was too sudden."

In the midst of such discussions, the three Family Heads were already drenched in cold sweat on their foreheads.

This person was not only strong in combat but also had exceptionally developed relationships.

Companies worth hundreds of millions, closed just like that."

"Mr. Wang, we were just deluded just now. Please forgive us."

"Mr. Wang, I was shortsighted, listened to slander. Please, Mr. Wang, lift up your noble hand and spare us this once."

"Mr. Wang, we really won’t do it anymore, please don’t condemn us."

The Three Elders, now standing up, all looked at Lin Fan with eyes full of terror.

The terrifying power to bankrupt a family with just one sentence was unimaginable.

Now, they were completely subdued.

"Whether it’s Mr. Wang or not isn’t the issue, the problem is that Wang Hu is aggressive now, relying solely on Fenghuang isn’t enough as various smaller sects keep troubling her. So let’s set a rule: if anyone harms her, or betrays her, I will definitely not spare him or his entire family. Thus, you all had better give your all because if something happens to Lu Feifei, not a blade of grass will grow in the lands of Ge, Geng, and Meng families,"

Lin Fan’s smile sent chills down the spines of the three men.

He had forcibly tied the three to Lu Feifei’s war chariot.

For their own sakes, the three families also had to comply.

After all, Lin Fan’s authority was won by force.

If Lu Feifei really encountered trouble, then the three families would be exterminated as well.

Yet they didn’t even have a bit of power to refuse.

This time, they had truly suffered a huge loss.
