Chapter 260- Rising Tides Lift All Boats

After Yang Hao left, everyone dispersed in a hurry, and Li Biao could be considered the busiest at the moment. On one hand, he needed to prepare for the Tian Lin banquet, on the other hand, he had to contact various forces to prepare for a life-and-death duel with Pan Dingbei and Zhu Hou the day after tomorrow. He had a premonition that if Yang Hao could defeat Zhu Hou and take care of Pan Dingbei, then the title of the new King of the North would belong to Yang Hao. At that time, Li Biao would definitely rise with the tide, so he had to immerse himself fully now. As for Li Mengyuan and the others, after returning to their company, they began to take action against the Feng family. Yang Hao returned alone to the rented house and drank tea while watching TV. It was evident that everything was under his control. An hour passed, and chaos had erupted throughout the Feng family. Feng Yu gathered all the members of the family together and held a family meeting. At the moment, his son Feng Yuxuan was still in the hospital being treated, but problems emerged in the company. First, the tax bureau came to investigate, then the fire department said that the Feng family's fire protection facilities were inadequate and ordered them to cease operations for three days for rectification. The news spread rapidly, and later various major media outlets successively revealed the current situation of the Feng family, prompting Feng Yu to urgently have the public relations department step in to resolve the issue. This time, Feng Yu was completely dumbfounded, never expecting the situation to escalate to this extent. "From now on, everyone must not be idle. We must fight alongside the company, collaborate together to overcome this crisis!" With no other options, Feng Yu coldly commanded the crowd before hastily walking out of the conference room. Feng Ziruo was also present, her face appearing unusually calm as she had anticipated this outcome long ago. Initially, Yang Hao had personally warned her that if the Feng family did not rein in their behavior, he would not show any mercy. It seems that Yang Hao is indeed following through with his words. After the family members left, Feng Wenxuan gestured to Feng Ziruo before the two of them headed to Feng Yu's office. Inside the office, Feng Yu was busy making one phone call after another. However, to his dismay, none of the seemingly good relationships were willing to step forward and help him now. "Damn it, these bunch of scoundrels, I respect and honor them usually, but when it comes to a critical moment, they all act like cowards!" Feng Yu threw his phone on the office desk and cursed in a cold voice. On his face, besides seriousness, there was anger. "Dad, I have clearly explained to you, although Yang Hao is just a son-in-law of the Yuan family, he is someone we can't afford to provoke." "Moreover, after the last incident, you should understand by now, this time, I believe it must be my second brother who provoked Yang Hao again first, and you not only did not apologize, but also picked a fight with Yang Hao, now, our Feng family is finished!" Feng Ziruo said coldly. "Shut up!" Feng Yu suddenly became furious, "I raised you in vain, not only did you not help me think of a solution, but you also speak ill here. Are you really my daughter, Feng Yu?" "Dad...please calm down, Ziruo is right, the first time I met Yang Hao, I felt a kind of noble aura on him that I can't describe. It would be best to be friends with such a person, but if he becomes an enemy, we can't even imagine the consequences!" Feng Wenxuan hastily defended Feng Ziruo. Feng Yu was instantly furious and couldn't find the right words to say. In recent years, Feng Wenxuan's abilities have been widely recognized, so Feng Yu had to consider his words. "Ah... Could it be that the heavens truly want to destroy my Feng family this time?" Feng Yu sighed deeply as he looked up at the sky. Seeing Feng Yu looking despondent, Feng Wenxuan finally said after deep thought, "Dad, why don't we call the Ji family in the capital, ask for their help to get through this crisis, and then apologize to them for what happened to Ji Shao?" "Okay, that's the only way for now. I'll make the call right now!" Initially hesitant to call the Ji family, fearing their blame for not protecting their young ones, Feng Yu now felt that nothing else mattered as long as they could overcome this crisis, even if it meant giving the Fairy Immortal Hot Spring to the Ji family. "No need to call..." Just as Feng Yu picked up the phone to make the call, Feng Ziruo furrowed her brows and intervened. "Feng Ziruo, what are you trying to do?!" Feng Yu roared. "I just found out that an hour ago, the Jiji family in the capital city has disappeared from the city, and Jiming, who is lying in the hospital, is also missing!" Feng Ziruo said. "Disappeared, what does that mean?" Feng Yu was completely puzzled. "Don't you understand yet? The Jiji family is finished, because they offended someone they shouldn't have offended, provoked a force they can't afford to provoke!" Feng Ziruo exclaimed in anger. "Thud!" Upon hearing this, Feng Yu felt as if thunder had struck her, and she collapsed weakly in her chair. "It's over... my Feng family is finished..." Feng Yu's face turned pale, her eyes vacant, murmuring to herself. Indeed, Feng Yu's guess was correct. Just then, Feng Wenxuan received a phone call, and their Feng family's stocks had hit the limit down, and ten billion in funds had mysteriously evaporated. Feng Wenxuan hung up the phone, frowned, unsure whether to tell Feng Yu this news. "What's the matter?" Feng Yu glanced at Feng Wenxuan and asked. "Over ten billion in funds have evaporated, and it's still ongoing..." "Is there any way to save our Feng family?!" Feng Yu, desperate yet hopeful, inquired. "We either declare bankruptcy now to possibly salvage some assets, or we seek help from Yang Hao," Feng Wenxuan expressed his thoughts. Subsequently, he shifted his gaze to Feng Ziruo. Feng Yu, realizing his intention, wondered if there was any other way. There was none! Hence, Feng Yu hastily stood up and addressed Feng Ziruo, "Ziruo, I know you like Yang Hao and have a good relationship with him. For the sake of the family, please go and ask Yang Hao for help again!" "Regardless of what conditions the other party proposes, you agree as long as we can protect our Feng family!" Upon hearing this, Feng Ziruo's face gradually darkened, with a hint of coldness, he glanced at his father and asked, "Do I still have the face to beg others?" "Last time, I begged him for your sake, he gave me face, but it was the last time!" "This time, where do I have any face? My dignity has been completely disgraced by you." "I love him, I agree to any conditions of his. Dad, are you suggesting that I exchange my body for temporary peace at Feng's?!" "Ziruo..." Feng Wenxuan saw Feng Ziruo getting more and more excited and quickly stopped him. On the other hand, Feng Yu remained completely silent, his expression changing constantly, because the implication in his words was indeed the same as what Feng Ziruo had guessed. At any cost, even including Feng Ziruo's sacrifice. "Chairman, the old lady has arrived!" At that moment, Feng Yu's secretary suddenly entered and said to Feng Yu. Feng Yu was shocked, never expecting that the Feng family's matter would eventually disturb his mother. At this moment, an old lady leaning on a dragon-headed cane was escorted into Feng Yu's office by two security guards. "Mom..." "Grandma..."
