After finishing the call with Li Chenggui, the joy on Zheng Guodong's face disappeared, replaced by a deep gloom.

It was as if a balloon filled with air suddenly deflated, the emotional transition was remarkably significant.

Going from firmly believing that nothing unexpected would happen, Ye Fan was undoubtedly dead, to now being inconceivable, he was momentarily stunned, unable to believe that Ye Fan could survive, instead, it was their people who died.

"How is that possible?"

"How could fate play such a joke?"

Zheng Guodong was distracted, staring blankly as he pondered.

"Father, what happened? What did the Patriarch of the Li Family say?" Zheng Jia Mei asked cautiously. From her father's face, she already sensed something was amiss, but she couldn't delve deeper, she could only tentatively inquire about the specifics.

What she was most anticipating was the news of Ye Fan and his group's death. Now she had a premonition that something unexpected happened. Although she couldn't believe there would be such an accident, in the face of something that had actually happened, she truly had no confidence.

"The Ma Family is finished. Ma Qianqiu defected to Chu Group and has become a vassal of Chu Group. Most of the Ma Family's businesses have basically fallen to Chu Group's capital. The Ma Family has completely declined, barely struggling to survive. The former identity as a powerhouse in the Northwest Business Community is gone forever." Zheng Guodong said with a deep sense of powerlessness.

"How could it be?" Zheng Jia Mei exclaimed incredulously, her entire body going limp as if boneless.

"Ma Qianqiu clamored to take the lead, determined to destroy Chu Group, how could he compromise so quickly? No matter how strong Chu Group is, it shouldn't be able to force a powerhouse in the business community like that, should it?" Zheng Jia Mei said, puzzled.

"That hacker from Chu Group used tricks, making Ma Qianqiu have to bow his head. In the face of Ma Family's life-and-death situation, Ma Qianqiu's compromise was inevitable." Zheng Guodong said dispiritedly.

Thinking of that hacker and combining it with Ma Qianqiu, a giant of the business world, admitting defeat and backing down, Zheng Jia Mei suddenly realized that not only had she underestimated the enemy, but so had the other members of the Five Great Families, underestimating Ye Fan and his group.

"Even if Ma Qianqiu is done, and one family of the Five Great Families is lost, it can't affect the overall situation, right?" Zheng Jia Mei asked: "The top expert of the Ma Family in the rankings is just Ma Fuyi, even if Ma Fuyi defected, there are three others involved. With these three, Ma Fuyi can't stir up too much trouble, right? Killing Chu Mengyao and others shouldn't be a problem, should it?"

"Li Chenggui managed to extract some words from Ma Qianqiu's mouth. The current Ma Qianqiu is a frightened wild horse, only able to take refuge with Chu Group. Otherwise, why would he swallow his pride under Chu Group's banner?" Zheng Guodong glanced at his daughter and said desperately: "In my opinion, even without the Ma Family it's irrelevant. Under a meticulously planned kill trap, Ma Fuyi alone couldn't stir up much trouble, but the actual situation is, our Zheng Family, Huang Family, Chen Family, and the four top experts of the Ma Family's rankings, all died, even Matsui Kemono and his seven were killed."

"How is that possible? It shouldn't be!" Zheng Jia Mei exclaimed unbelievingly, as if rejecting this reality.

"I don't believe it either, but it's a solid fact. We've got accurate news; the bodies of Ma Fuyi and others were disposed of like trash by people from Chu Group." Zheng Guodong felt an overwhelming sense of despair.

Looking at his daughter, who felt just as helpless, Zheng Guodong said with a tearful expression: "At that time, when Ma Fuyi and others attacked the Chu Group, Ye Fan happened to be forcing Ma Qianqiu to comply, so when Ye Fan arrived, he was already able to kill Chu Mengyao and others. Yet, Chu Mengyao and others were unharmed, so it's evident that Chu Group must have other hidden experts."

"Chu Mengyao is so insidious, this devious woman, leaving such a trump card, is truly a poisonous snake." Zheng Jia Mei had no goodwill towards Chu Mengyao, only hostility and resentment.

"It's a pity for our Zheng Family's top expert. Our Zheng Family is large and influential, but now, it's completely over. Our Zheng Family might also face a major crisis." Zheng Guodong was most concerned about this issue.

"Even Ma Family has defected to Chu Group, even killing Ma Fuyi, that's like killing their own people. It shows that Chu Group isn't good guys either, they're ruthless executioners who wouldn't hesitate to kill." The shock in Zheng Jia Mei's heart was indescribable, and now she could only find all sorts of excuses to belittle Chu Group, so she would feel a little better.

In fact, speaking of despicable and ruthless methods, where can it compare to the Five Great Families' arrogance and unscrupulousness.

Zheng Jia Mei knew this better than anyone.

At this moment, Zheng Guodong's usually calm heart was also stirring with tumultuous waves, as if he had aged several decades in an instant, exhausted to the extreme, no longer exuding the former demeanor of a business tycoon.

"Father, we don't need to worry too much. Although the Five Great Families suffered significant losses, ultimately it will still be the Chu Group that perishes." Zheng Jia Mei found her mental support, confidently dispelling the shadows in her heart: "Once Li Family's top expert in human body limits emerges, he will undoubtedly sweep invincibly, whatever Chu Group's capabilities, they will end up drinking hatred. Ye Fan, in the hands of that existence in the Li Family, is but an ant, easily crushed."

"That's certain, and it's inevitable." Zheng Guodong clenched his fist, murderous intent surging: "We must make Chu Group pay a terrible price for our Five Great Families' deep-seated enmity."

Instantly, the anger between Zheng Guodong and Zheng Jia Mei vanished without a trace, replaced by confidence and assurance.

The pressure brought by Chu Group faded away, replaced by joy.

Chu Group caused some losses to the Five Great Families, but so what?

Once the Li Family's expert emerges, all problems will be solved, sweeping away all enemies.

Just as Zheng Guodong and his daughter were full of joy, Ye Fan's figure appeared before them like a ghost.

"How did you find this place?"

"How did you bypass all the layers of guards and come in quietly?"

Zheng Guodong was suddenly speechless with surprise.

"How could this damn guy find this place?" Zheng Jia Mei was equally astonished in her heart.

The father and daughter were stunned.

In the heavily guarded situation, he could silently find them both.

So, are their fates already in Ye Fan's hands?

Would Ye Fan really dare to kill them?
