Ma Qianqiu and Ma Junqing were stunned, father and son never expected that Ye Fan would be so audacious, directly ignoring all rules and boundaries, even if it was about personal grudges, he ought to have some concerns.

But Ye Fan showed no concern whatsoever. The deaths of Zheng Guodong and Zheng Jia Mei had pierced through the heavens of the Northwest Business Community, the impact of which was unimaginable.

The ensuing storm would be turbulent, like a raging flood, with no days of peace.

"Father, is our Ma Family going to be doomed along with this? What Ye Fan did is too big, there's no way to calm it down." Ma Junqing was worried, lost and unable to make any decision.

If the Chu Group is finished, then the Ma Family will perish with it. Even if the Chu Group isn't finished, the Ma Family is fraught with crises, not knowing when it might fall, because the consequences of betraying the five great families mean complete disappearance.

"Our Ma Family has always been in a dilemma. Whether it's the Chu Group or other families, none will spare us. I only hope that our allegiance to the Chu Group can bring their goodwill. If so, there might be a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, if we die, we're truly dead." Ma Qianqiu expressed his concerns and considerations.

"Father, from the current situation, if the Chu Group doesn't perish, then our Ma Family can survive." Ma Junqing asked earnestly with hope: "If Second Master Li fails to deal with Ye Fan, then can our Ma Family manage to survive?"

"Second Master Li's reputation shakes the Northwest, and his influence in both business and politics is significant, with no one able to underestimate or ignore it."

"Now, with Li Chenggui and others going to invite Second Master Li, Ye Fan's death is destined."

"Once Second Master Li makes a move, the Chu Group will be finished, that's certain, with no unexpected outcomes."

"As for the survival of our Ma Family, we can only leave it to fate. I just hope there's a chance for survival."

"If the Chu Group is destroyed, even if I have to give up my dignity, I'll plead with Li Chenggui and others, hoping that for the sake of our long-standing relationship, they can forgive our Ma Family's unavoidable choice."

Ma Qianqiu spoke with a solemn expression. Second Master Li's fame was built on his power, thus he firmly believed there was no doubt, once Second Master Li intervened, Ye Fan's execution and the Chu Group's demise were inevitable events.

Ma Junqing could not refute his father's words, and was momentarily stunned.

"Where does the Ma Family's path lead?" Ma Qianqiu murmured to himself, still very worried about whether the Ma Family could survive.

The Zheng Family was shrouded in gloom.

The deaths of Zheng Guodong and Zheng Jia Mei brought mixed feelings to the Zheng Family, some were sad while others were glad.

"We must find the murderer and severely punish this lawless person," thought the branch of Zheng Guodong's clan, with thoughts of revenge.

For them, without Zheng Guodong's support, their days would not be easy.

"Good riddance, with the Zheng Family being dominated by Zheng Guodong, we had no day to shine. Now, finally, we can seize full control." Those usually overlooked in the Zheng Family feigned sadness, but deep inside, they were clapping their hands in delight.

The Zheng Family, being a large and wealthy family, was divided into several branches. The distribution of family interests among various branches depended on who was the family Pilot. Therefore, after Zheng Guodong's death, it was impossible for the Zheng Family to unite against outside forces. At this moment, they had already split into several factions, with intense scheming and infighting for family interests.

At the same time, Li Chenggui, Huang Jingwei, and Chen Tiande were sitting in a car with a look of righteous indignation on their faces. Their car, surrounded by escorting vehicles, sped down the road.

"We, the five great families, dominate the Northwest Business Community, calling the wind and summoning the rain, yet now we face such trouble." Li Chenggui, exuding a murderous aura, said, "With these incidents, the face of our five great families has been utterly lost, which is truly enraging and detestable."

"Indeed, standing atop the peak, overlooking the Northwest Business Community, we prided ourselves on having control over everything, but unexpectedly, the Chu Group emerged out of nowhere, especially that Ye Fan, who has brought us so much trouble," Chen Tiande said hatefully.

"Gone are the days when we could run rampant with a wave of our hand, and just from our losses, it is enough to cripple us." Huang Jingwei said worriedly, "The five great families have always been intertwined, but now that Ma Qianqiu was forced to align and Zheng Guodong was killed, these are shocking blows for us."

Li Chenggui and the others had already understood the entire situation. In their hearts, they were secretly thankful that they left early, otherwise, if Ye Fan had come for them, they would surely meet the same fate as Zheng Guodong.

From the initial charge led by the Ma Family, followed by the attacks of the four Human Body Limit elite, one wave after another of battles all ended in the decline of the five great families, even losing two families.

Li Chenggui and the others clearly understood that the killing intent towards the Chu Group had yielded no results, in fact, it left them with heavy losses. The once united five great families were no longer a solid fist; Ma Qianqiu was unreliable now, and within the Zheng Family, no one could clean up the mess or replace Zheng Guodong at the table with them.

"Zheng Guodong's death was certainly done by Ye Fan, and it must have shocked many people by now. I predict that major figures in politics will surely step in to avenge the Zheng Family," Li Chenggui said confidently, "No matter how capable Ye Fan is, he cannot escape this catastrophe. Even if the Chu Group has political connections, I think it won't matter, because the impact of Zheng Guodong's death is too great."

"When the time comes, we will exert pressure and surely be able to use a borrowed sword to kill someone." Chen Tiande said, "If it weren't absolutely necessary, we wouldn't dare to trouble Second Master Li to come forward. After all, Second Master Li is enjoying his old age and rarely involves himself in worldly affairs. If it weren't absolutely necessary, we wouldn't go to Second Master Li's place."

In fact, the three of them were afraid of ending up like Zheng Guodong, which is why they were going to Second Master Li's residence.

As long as they stayed near Second Master Li, their safety was guaranteed to the utmost extent.

"This plan of using a borrowed sword is perfect. Although we cannot come out in person, by activating our connections and having political figures pin the murder on Ye Fan, we will be able to watch the show," Li Chenggui slowly said, "The Human Body Limit experts of the Li Family hardly ever act unless the family faces catastrophic danger. A mere Ye Fan is not worth having the Li Family's Human Body Limit experts take action."

"Ye Fan has some skills, but in the hands of Second Master Li, he is nothing more than an ant," Huang Jingwei asserted.
