Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Time to Make a Move

To be honest, Jian Chunqiu doesn’t understand the decision made by Chu Ge.

Though he looks to be only in his thirties or forties, in reality, he has lived for over a hundred years. A century of trials and hardships has given Jian Chunqiu insights into much of life.

"For the sake of a woman, is such a great cost worth it?" Finally, after much hesitation, Jian Chunqiu asked this question.

Chu Ge didn’t show any particular interest but his lips curled slightly: "Uncle Jian, you are not me. How can you know whether it’s worth it to me?"

There is actually not much to talk about between two men. After settling this matter, Jian Chunqiu left the manor directly, while Chu Ge slowly sat down with crossed legs and started cultivating again.

Ever since his battle with Shi Wanwang, Chu Ge had been immersed in cultivation, driven not merely by a plain desire for power, but by a premonition that there would be numerous battles on this trip to Su City!

After all, what he was up against this time was not just some individual, but an entire Sect!

As Chu Ge fell silent, Shanghai instead started bustling.

Previously in the manor, the leaders of the Three Major Families had already finalized a detailed plan with Duan Shaojie.

Duan Shaojie truly has a knack for things; right under Mr. Duan’s watchful eye, he had managed to build up his own forces over the years, claiming at least a third of the Duan Family’s resources under his control.

This was already his limit, as more would either belong to Mr. Duan or the Ghost Poison Sect!

The Three Major Families naturally targeted the forces in the Duan Family not under Duan Shaojie’s control, with Duan Shaojie naturally coordinating from within.

In just under three days, the Duan Family was thoroughly fragmented!

Such a significant event naturally caused a great stir in Shanghai, with various TV channels vying to report on the developments, though they could not possibly know the real intricacies, merely framing it as competition among several business tycoons.

Jinxiu Group, Chairman’s Office.

These days Mu Bingtong spent more and more time gazing out the window lost in thought, as many things had happened recently in Shanghai. For some reason, she felt that these events were somehow related to that man!

No... how could that be possible, how could that man have such capabilities?

Mu Bingtong quickly shook her head, but in a daze, she seemed to see that familiar smiling face again, smiling at her.

"President Mu."

Beautiful moments never last long; just as Mu Bingtong was still stunned, her secretary suddenly walked in, placing a folder in front of Mu Bingtong: "President Mu, we have successfully transferred all of those group’s assets, this is the current detailed data of our company’s resources. Please take a look!"

Mu Bingtong’s cheeks flushed red, she quickly coughed a few times, hiding the embarrassment in her heart, and said to the secretary, "Alright, I understand, you can go if there’s nothing else."

"Yes." The secretary nodded, but as she turned away, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but lift.

It seems that President Mu’s relationship with Manager Chu is indeed extraordinary. Since Manager Chu left, this kind of dazed state has happened more than once or twice.

Meanwhile, Chu Ge stood with his hands behind his back in a pavilion, watching the distant sky, lost in thought.

Today he did not cultivate but instead held his cell phone in his palm, apparently waiting for some news.

Suddenly, a leaf fluttered down from the top of the pavilion, and Chu Ge’s gaze followed the falling leaf. As the leaf reached halfway, his cell phone finally rang!

This was the phone given to him by Duan Shaojie, which could only be reached by another special phone.

"Are they making their move?" Chu Ge pressed the answer button and said indifferently.

"Not yet, but I think they are about to." Duan Shaojie’s voice came from the other end, his tone respectful: "Mr. Chu, almost all of the forces not under my control in the Duan Family are about to be pushed to their limits. I think those people can’t hold back much longer!"

"I understand, don’t worry, you won’t die."

After hanging up the call, Chu Ge looked at the setting sun on the horizon, a sharp murderous intent suddenly flashing in his eyes.

"Heh, Ghost Poison Sect? Since you dare to reach into Shanghai, then don’t expect to be able to withdraw that hand again!"

......

Night quickly fell, and dark clouds completely covered the moonlight, enveloping Shanghai in darkness. It was a perfect night for murder!

The entire Duan Family was engulfed in a stern and desperate atmosphere; these past few days, nearly all senior members of the Duan Family had been living in unease.

The death of Mr. Duan, coupled with the recent losses, had already greatly weakened the family. But before they could recover, the Three Families’ joint attack had swiftly followed.

In just under three days, the Duan Family had lost nearly half of their enterprises!

Unlike others, Duan Shaojie was not sorrowful but instead could barely suppress his urge to laugh out loud, though under such an atmosphere, he forcefully restrained himself and managed a distressed visage.

Although it was already ten o’clock at night, the meeting room in the Duan Family was still brightly lit. Duan Shaojie was the last to arrive, but he showed no sign of an apology and just nonchalantly sat down.

"Shaojie, you are late."

A white-haired old man furrowed his brow and said to Duan Shaojie.

"Oh, got held up by some stuff," Duan Shaojie replied nonchalantly, adopting a casual demeanor as he looked at the elder seated in the main seat: "So, wasn’t there an emergency meeting? Let’s start it."

Faced with Duan Shaojie’s attitude, the white-bearded elder finally couldn’t contain himself, stood up from the meeting table: "Duan Shaojie, how are you speaking to me, I am your third uncle!"

This white-bearded old man held a high position in the Duan Family and had always been regarded as a confidant by Duan Congxing, so while Mr. Duan was alive, Duan Shaojie was exceedingly respectful to this old man and dared not offend him in the slightest.

Seeing such a careless attitude from Duan Shaojie now, the old man became furious on the spot.

Not just the old man, but other elders in the meeting room also looked at Duan Shaojie with disapproval.

Duan Shaojie scoffed, staring intently into the old man’s eyes: "Third Uncle, don’t forget, now is not the same old Duan Family!"
