Clearly, as the news of the Mu Family's downfall spread.
Related news also emerged one after another.
Among them, the most attention-grabbing naturally was the cause of the conflict between the Mu Family and Chen Feng.
And this naturally revolves around the unfortunate duo, Mu Xishan and Mu Zhenan.
This father and son have already become a laughingstock with the demise of the Mu Family.
At the same time, it has sounded an alarm for other major family forces.
Obviously, the major family forces are also afraid of having such a presence within their own family.
That truly would be an unfortunate fate...
Meanwhile, as the Liu Family was holding an emergency meeting regarding the destruction of the Mu Family.
The Li Family, also one of the four major families, held an emergency meeting concerning this matter.
Like the Liu Family, the Li Family had a fairly good relationship with the Mu Family before its downfall.
So, whether for profit or reputation.
They all wanted to stand up for the Mu Family.
However, after intense debate during the meeting.
The Li Family made a decision almost identical to the Liu Family's, which was to investigate Chen Feng's background before taking action.
They must be cautious, cautious again, to prevent the tragedy of the Mu Family from occurring again.
In comparison, the Tang Family, another of the four major families in Coastal City.
Was much calmer than the other two families.
As the weakest among the four major families.
The other three families used to look down on the Tang Family.
They even believed the Tang Family didn't deserve to be among the four major families and were always looking for ways to push them out.
Precisely because the Tang Family often faced exclusion from the three major families.
The Mu, Liu, and Li families bonded together, having the best relationship normally.
The Tang Family, however, was completely excluded, having an extremely poor relationship with the three families.
So, with the downfall of the Mu Family, the Tang Family was the calmest, even feeling a bit of schadenfreude.
After all, the three families often teamed up to bully the Tang Family, encroach on their resources, and so on.
Now, with one strong Mu Family less, the pressure on the Tang Family naturally lessened.
This is called, "When the enemy weakens, I gain strength!"
In the suburbs of Coastal City, inside a courtyard.
In the center of the courtyard, there is a wicker chaise longue.
An elderly man dressed in a black Tang suit with white hair is lying on it.
Beside the elder, there is a small wooden table with a purple sand teapot and a teacup on it.
The elder picked up the teacup, took a small sip of tea, showing a look of great enjoyment, then put the cup down, leaned back in the chair, and gently rocked, very leisurely.
However, at this moment, the gate of the courtyard was suddenly pushed open from outside.
A middle-aged man wearing a branded blue suit walked in hurriedly.
It was clear the middle-aged man seemed to have an urgent matter, appearing very anxious.
But he still maintained patience, step by step approaching the white-haired elder.
"Father!"
The middle-aged man took a deep breath, looked at the elder lying on the chaise longue, and whispered.
Upon hearing, the elder opened his eyes, glanced at the middle-aged man, and said indifferently, "You're here!"
"Father, a major event has occurred in Coastal City, the Mu Family has been wiped out!"
The middle-aged man spoke directly.
"Oh!"
The elder nodded calmly.
"Aren't you even a bit shocked?"
The middle-aged man froze for a moment, asking in confusion.
"I knew this news before you came!"
The elder smiled slightly and replied.
"Ah... No wonder!"
The middle-aged man pouted.
"Alright, tell me about the reaction within our Tang Family!"
The elder said indifferently.
The middle-aged man nodded, took a deep breath, and said:
"We just held a meeting earlier, and during the meeting, the higher-ups unanimously agreed that there are pros and cons to this matter!"
"The advantage is, from now on, there's one less Mu Family against us, making things easier for the Tang Family."
"But the downside is also very obvious. If Chen Feng ends up uniting with the Li Family and Liu Family, then the pressure on our Tang Family would not be any less than before."
"It might even be greater than when the Mu Family was around, because Chen Feng collapsing the Mu Family means he's more formidable than the Mu Family!"
"Your analysis is quite thorough!"
The elder smiled lightly with a slightly curled lip.
"What do you think, Father?"
The middle-aged man looked at the elder, seeking guidance.
"My view is simple, your so-called disadvantages don't exist. This matter, for our Tang Family, is all benefit and no harm, and it may even be a great opportunity to change the current situation!"
The elder squinted his eyes slightly and said with a smile.
"Father, how do you explain that?"
The middle-aged man was stunned and asked, full of confusion.
"Do you think that based on the Liu Family and Li Family's nature, they would unite with Chen Feng? They used to be so close with the Mu Family, and now that such a thing has happened, do you think they would stand by idly? Plus, even if not for past sentiments, for profit, they definitely won't let Chen Feng off!"
"After all, now the Mu Family is leaderless, a large amount of resources and wealth are essentially ownerless, it's practically a piece of fat meat; would the Liu Family and Li Family allow it to fall into other's hands?"
The elder combed his white beard and said with a smile.
"Father, so you mean... The Liu Family and Li Family are very likely to wage war against Chen Feng and his newly established Chen Family?"
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and realized.
"It's inevitable; the only reason they haven't acted yet is they haven't figured out Chen Feng's background. Once they clear that up, these two families will certainly join forces against Chen Feng!"
The elder nodded with a smile.
"That's great; let them fight to the death! Our Tang Family will reap the benefits as a bystander!"
The middle-aged man slapped his thigh enthusiastically and laughed.
"Tianlong, you're already the Family Head of the Tang Family, yet how can your vision still be so short-sighted?"
The elder glanced at Tang Tianlong, speaking in exasperation.
"Ah? Father, did I say something wrong again?"
Tang Tianlong froze slightly, asking in confusion.
"Didn't I just say that this is a great opportunity to change the current situation in Coastal, and it's the only chance!"
The elder said irritably.
"You did say that, but I don't quite understand what you mean, Father!"
The middle-aged man scratched his head awkwardly and said with a grin.
