"I want to go with you; I don't know what agreement you've reached with your grandpa and Junsheng."

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Xue said firmly, "But I cannot allow you to disrupt their meeting this time. Every member of the commerce alliance is present, and if you cause any trouble during this meeting, it will greatly affect your father's authority!"

"Follow then, but let me tell you to speak less, better yet, don't speak at all!"

Yun Bo answered impatiently, reminded Lin Xue, and then dragged Jiang Chen away.

Lin Xue frowned and followed along with Spirit You.

"Shh!"

Upon reaching the door of the meeting room, Yun Bo gestured for silence and cautiously pushed the door open a crack.

Lin Xue's expression changed, and she reached out to pull Yun Bo back, but Yun Bo turned his head and glared fiercely at her.

Lin Xue's expression stiffened, her eyes showing a hint of struggle.

Ignoring Lin Xue, Yun Bo put his hand to his ear and gestured for Jiang Chen to listen.

Jiang Chen smiled amusingly at Yun Bo, pointed at the meeting room, then at his own ear.

Yun Bo smiled and nodded.

Lin Xue gave Yun Bo a surprised look, noticed that he only intended to eavesdrop instead of barging in, hesitated for a moment, and didn't stop him.

Jiang Chen wasn't fond of doing such things, but from the conversation between Yun Bo and Lin Xue, he sensed that Yun Bo had given something valuable in exchange for something, and not wanting to spurn his friend's goodwill, he stood at the doorway and began to listen attentively.

Inside the meeting room.

"Right, Mr. Qin, we absolutely cannot hand over all the import and export channels to him!"

The members of the commerce alliance were still trying to persuade Qin Mo.

Qin Mo glanced at everyone and said indifferently, "If not to him, do you all want the Flame Dragon Group to come knocking at your door?"

"This..."

The crowd looked at each other, at a loss for words.

"Then let's fight him!" a burly man called out coldly.

"Right, let's fight!"

"We'll fight him!"

"He's right now in Zhou Yi District; let's have him die here!"

The members all spoke fiercely in agreement.

Clap clap clap!

A round of applause broke out, and everyone immediately shut up, looking at Qin Mo with puzzled expressions.

"Impressive! You all are truly formidable!"

Qin Mo gave everyone a thumbs up, stood up, and sarcastically said, "Since you're all so capable, why bother deliberating at all! Go kill him yourselves; I'm not joining in!"

Having finished his statement, Qin Mo turned and walked towards the door.

"No no no, Mr. Qin, what are you doing? We're all here to offer ideas!" A man next to Qin Mo grabbed his arm urgently.

"Offering ideas? Ideas for a suicide mission? Ideas that will get us all killed?" Qin Mo shouted angrily.

"A bunch of incompetents who only know how to fight! The Flame Dragon Group, can you even stand against them? Do you know who Jiang Chen is? What is his relationship with the Flame Dragon Group? Have you figured it out? Killing him? Easy to kill him, but have you thought about the consequences?" Qin Mo coldly swept his gaze over the crowd and roared with anger;

"Jiang Chen has control over both Yi Chen Group and Longteng Group, with Zhang Long and Lin Bingrui under his command. He holds all the overt and covert import and export channels of the Inland region, except for the Northwest! If he wasn't close with the Flame Dragon Group, would they dare to let him have control of these things? Would they dare to let him seize the pulse of the Inland region?"

"Fight! Fight! Fight! Is that all you bloody know apart from fighting?"

"Ah? After killing him, everyone here, including myself, will immediately be hunted down by the Flame Dragon Group, and we'll all go join the Lyu Family in their fate! If you're so eager to reunite with the Lyu Family, just tell me, and I'll send you off, but don't drag me down with you to hell!"

The meeting room went instantly silent, and a sense of dread surged through everyone, cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads!

They truly hadn't considered this point at all, focusing solely on believing that eliminating Jiang Chen would resolve their urgent predicament, having never deeply pondered over the relationship between Jiang Chen and the Flame Dragon Group.

"Elder Qin, please don't be angry, everyone is just desperate. If you have any ideas, please share them quickly. As our senior, you must have a good solution!" Lu Junsheng looked at Qin Mo with a face full of expectation.

"Yes, Elder Qin, please calm down, we were confused. You give us some advice!"

"Elder, please don't be mad, we are the bastards! Please calm down!"

"Elder Qin, we know we were wrong, please give us some advice!"

Everyone spoke up to admit their mistakes, looking at Qin Mo with ingratiating smiles.

"Elder Qin, please don't be angry any longer. You have the most experience, please help everyone think of some ideas!" Lu Junsheng stood up and looked at Qin Mo.

"Yes, yes, Elder Qin, please help us out!"

"We won't speak foolishly anymore, absolutely not!"

The crowd spoke again to comfort him.

Hmph!

Qin Mo snorted heavily and sat back down, saying irritably, "If you want my advice, fine, but before I've finished speaking, nobody fucking interrupt me!"

"Yes, yes, please speak!"

"Elder Qin, please speak, we're listening!"

"Elder Qin, go ahead and speak. If anyone interrupts you, I'll break their legs!"

Everyone opened their mouths to echo in agreement.

"Regarding Jiang Chen, we cannot approach this with brute force."

Qin Mo spoke in a deep voice, "He is backed by the Flame Dragon Group; if we play tough, we cannot outplay him! I have investigated both Yi Chen and Longteng, although these two companies are leading enterprises in the Inland, they are extremely benevolent. Except for import-export and pharmaceutical companies, they conduct their other business dealings very amiably. Given this, it's better for us to cooperate with them!"

"Cooperate with them?"

"This... How do we cooperate?"

The people in the meeting room were stupefied, staring blankly at Qin Mo.

Qin Mo smiled coldly, "A bunch of imbeciles, let me ask you, did Jiang Chen meddle with your assets?"

"This… No, he didn't!"

"Right, Jiang Chen didn't touch our assets!"

"Yes indeed, he didn't touch our assets, while we here are..."

The crowd suddenly became somewhat bewildered.

"It is easy to resolve enmity but hard to build it!"

Qin Mo continued, "If he wants import-export channels, we'll give them to him. If he wants pharmaceutical companies, we'll also give them to him. However, we're not going to give them away for free; we'll exchange something with him."

"Exchange something?"

"What do we exchange?"

Everyone became interested.

"Exchange for the properties of the Lyu Family!"

Qin Mo said solemnly, "The properties owned by the Lyu Family are even more than those owned by Boss Lu. Twelve percent of the properties in Zhou Yi District were in the hands of the Lyu Family. Now that the Lyu Family has been flattened by the Flame Dragon Group, who do you think will get those properties? It can't be that the people from the Flame Dragon Group are going to manage them themselves, can it?"

"They will definitely fall into Jiang Chen's hands!"

"Right, they will definitely go to him!"

Everyone spoke up in unison.

Qin Mo smiled slightly, "Furthermore, with Yi Chen handling import-export trade, it's as if we have the protection of the Flame Dragon Group. Do we need to worry about the safety of our goods anymore? Or about pirates, or bandits from the world's sects and powers or anything like that?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately showed delighted expressions.
