Chapter 240: The Pan Family's Reaction

s."If you can't fire me today, will you go out for a few drinks with me tonight""Of course, if you could really get me fired, I'd give myself to you tonight and let you do whatever you want! How about...News of Buddha's [事] spread throughout the entire Jianghai City in the first instance, causing a stir among all walks of life.

The underworld boss of Jiang Hai, the Buddha who has stood tall for decades, was actually overthrown in one day. It's simply unbelievable.

You need to know that not only is the Buddha powerful, but he also has many extraordinary people around him. Their combined strength is no less than that of the Four Great Families.

What kind of person could have this kind of energy!

In the eastern part of Jianghai City, in the Pan family's large courtyard, inside one villa's hall.

Mr. Pan, the elderly patriarch of the Pan family, sat leisurely on the sofa sipping tea, with an air of contentment and ease.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

In a moment, footsteps sounded, and then the head of the Pan family, Pan Zhenming, hurried in with an anxious expression.

"Father, something happened!" Pan Zhenming blurted out, rushing forward.

"What's the matter Why are you so flustered" Pan raised his teacup and took a sip.

"The Buddha's lair was raided, all the powerful beings around him were killed, and he himself was taken away!" Pan Zhenming poured himself a cup of tea and gulped it down.

When he first heard the news, he almost bit off his tongue. He was so shocked.

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Pan Mu was scalded by the tea water and after finally regaining his composure, he spoke: "Who did this"

"I'm not sure!" Pan Zhenming shook his head. "There's no information available at the moment!"

"What does that mean" Pan Mu frowned. "There were at least a few hundred people in the Buddha's villa, weren't they all killed"

"No!" Pan Zhenming continued to shake his head. "But the vast majority of people have disappeared. Even if we find a few, they would rather die than say a word!"

"Hm!” Pan Mu's pupils constricted.

Wouldn't it be surprising if this happened!

What is this person's background

"By the way, Father, it's said that the people of Rose have started to annex the industries under the Buddha's banner throughout the entire range." Pan Zhenming continued, "Could it be that they did it"

"Highly unlikely!" Pan Mu shook his head. "She might have some connections, but she certainly doesn't have that kind of skill!"

"To seize Buddha's assets is probably an opportunistic attack!"

After a slight pause, he continued, "Have someone check the surveillance footage from Buddha's estate."

“Someone has already checked the surveillance, but all the cameras, both inside and outside the manor, have been destroyed!” Pan Zhenming shook his head.

"Hmm!" Pan Mu was startled again, pondered for a moment, as if remembering something: "Did Buddha catch Shen Le"

"Well! I got my hands on it last night!" Pan Zhenming raised an eyebrow: "Father, do you mean the other party might be going after Shen Le"

"Very likely!" Pan mused, nodding thoughtfully.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

At that moment, the sound of high heels clicking echoed through the room, followed by the quick entrance of Pan Yijie, the eldest Miss of the Pan family.

"Xiaojie, how did you come back You don't have to work" Pan Zhenming looked a little surprised.

"Grandpa, Dad, you guys should know about Buddha, right" Pan Yijie's voice was unusually urgent.

"We just heard about it too, what happened" Pan Mu put down her teacup and looked at Pan Yijie.

"Is it because Buddha grabbed Mr. Shen that the other party made a move" Pan Yijie continued to ask.

"Nine out of ten!" Pan Zhenming nodded.

Phew!

Pan Yijie let out a heavy sigh, then looked at the two of them and spoke.

"Grandpa, Dad, listen to me. About the Jiang Hai Chamber of Commerce, let the Pan family stay out of it. Let the other three families fight it out!"

"What do you mean" Pan Zhenming was slightly taken aback. "Xiaojie, do you know who did it"

"I'm just guessing!" Pan Yijie took another deep breath: "Grandpa, Dad, do you remember what happened to Xiao Guang last time"

"Hmm!" Pan Mu's pupils contracted slightly: "You mean, someone from the Yingmen high-ranking official made a move"

"The possibility is very high!" Pan Yijie nodded. "Only he has that kind of ability, to uproot the Buddha with just a flick of his wrist!"

Ouch!

Pan Mu and his son both gasped, their faces simultaneously taking on a solemn expression.

"What's his relationship with Shen Le" Pan Zhenming paused for a moment before continuing.

"I don't know what the specific relationship is." Pan Yijie shook her head. "But I guess it's definitely not ordinary!"

After finishing, he looked at Pan Mu: "Grandpa, can the Pan family withdraw from the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce"

"Difficult!" Pan Mu frowned and shook her head slightly: "If we forcefully withdraw, the Pan family wouldn't be able to bear the consequences. After all, the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce isn't something our Four Great Families can just dictate."

"Xiaojie, are you worried that the big shot will help Shen Le and Jianghai Chamber of Commerce go to war" Pan Zhenming asked.

"Hmm!" Pan Yi-jie's face was full of seriousness.

"Xia Jie, you don't have to worry too much. Even if what you said is true, there's nothing to be afraid of. The Jianghai Chamber of Commerce isn't that easy to deal with," Pan Zhenming continued.

"But I have a feeling that this time, Jiang Hai might undergo earth-shattering changes because of his arrival!" Pan Yijie said with a thoughtful expression.

"Xiaojie, is there any way we can meet him again and get a sense of how he's doing" Pan Mu pondered for a moment before asking.

"I'll just have to try!" Pan Yijie let out a mouthful of foul air.

After finishing his words, he got up and walked out. As he neared the door, he added a final sentence.

"Grandpa, Dad, don't tell anyone about this for now!"

Meanwhile.

The other three major families, Jiang Hai, were also discussing the same thing. Like the Pan family, they had reached no conclusion.

……

Ding dong!

The next afternoon, Ling Hao was discussing matters with Shen Le at the Sihai Group when his phone rang. He picked it up to see that it was Qin Yufie calling.

"Brother-in-law, my sister said you're in Jianghai, is that true" Qin Yufei's slightly excited voice came from the receiver after the call was connected.

"Hee hee, yeah!" Ling Hao responded with a smile.

"Humph! Brother-in-law, you came to Jiang Hai without even giving me a call. Don't you want to talk to me anymore!" Qin Yufei pouted on the other end of the phone.

"Haha, I've been busy with some things these past two days. I originally wanted to call you the day after tomorrow." Ling Hao smiled again.

"You're lying!" Qin Yufei pouted again before saying, "Then I'll give you a chance to make up for it. Take me out for dinner!"

"Sounds good!" Ling Hao smiled. "Brother-in-law, I'll treat you to a big meal. You can have anything you want. Just send me the address after you find a place."

"Really" Qin Yufei exclaimed joyfully, "You're serious Don't go back on your word! I'll find a place right away!"

"I'm waiting for your message," Ling Hao said with a smile before hanging up.

Ten minutes later, Qin Yufeng's text message came.

Then, Ling Hao and Xuan Pang drove towards the hotel.

After half an hour, Xuan Pang parked his car in the parking lot at the entrance of the hotel and the two got out of the car.

"Brother-in-law, over here!" As soon as the two got out of the car, Qin Yufen, dressed in a professional suit, walked over with her high heels on, looking quite the part.

"Hmm Little girl, why are you dressed like that You don't have to go to school, do you" Ling Hao looked Qin Yufei up and down.

"How do I look, brother-in-law Does this professional attire suit me" Qin Yufei strutted her stuff, twirling in place with a smug grin.

"Doesn't this look like a typical urban office worker Isn't my sister pretty" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!Don't miss out, everyone who is interested!""..."Five minutes later, the formal auction will begin.Ling Hao and his three companions came today only for the Heart of the Cosmos, showing no interest in...
