After finishing all of this, Chen Xiao retracted his gaze.

Looking at the dejected members of the Jiang Family, he said coldly, "From now on, Madame Jiang will head the Jiang Family. If anyone dares to play any tricks, don’t blame me for being ruthless.

"Moreover, if anything happens to her, none of you will live to see another day.

"I don’t care who does it.

"If so much as a single hair on her head is harmed, all of you will be buried with her!"

The faces of everyone in the Jiang Family turned pale as they nodded.

Hu Biao shrewdly ran over to Chen Xiao and bowed. "Not just the Jiang Family, but the Heavenly Dragon Association will also follow your lead, Mr. Chen! We will obey Madame Jiang’s orders!"

It had to be said, this Hu Dagang was rather discerning.

Chen Xiao nodded. "Alright. Since you’re so discerning, take stock of your assets in the next few days."

These words made Hu Dagang’s eyelids twitch, and he wished he could slap himself. Why did I have to be such a bigmouth?

However, the words were already out. Fearing Chen Xiao’s fury, he could only force a laugh and say, "Since you’ve said so, Mr. Chen, the assets of the Hu Family and the Heavenly Dragon Association are at your disposal."

With his life held firmly in the other man’s grasp, he was powerless to resist.

Chen Xiao said indifferently, "Don’t worry, I’m not coveting your property. At most, I’ll just borrow it for a while."

Borrow... Hu Dagang wanted to cry but had no tears. If he borrows it, will I ever see it again?

Zhu Baixi stepped onto the high platform, slowly surveying the room. "Since no one has any objections, I will be in charge of the Jiang Family from today onward. Tomorrow, I will personally assume my position at the company.

"Everyone, you may return and prepare for the transition."

Hearing this, the crowd nodded and left with their heads hung low.

Zhu Baixi breathed a sigh of relief. With Chen Xiao’s display of deterrence, coupled with the restriction of the poison, she had finally suppressed these people. From now on, they likely wouldn’t dare to cause any more trouble.

Chen Xiao pinched her cheek. "Rich lady, you can start tallying up the Jiang Family’s assets now. Let’s see how much you’ve profited from this venture."

Zhu Baixi smiled. "This is all thanks to you. I will reward you handsomely."

Chen Xiao pondered for a few seconds before saying, "Once things are settled, if the Jiang Family has any working capital, I’d like to borrow some."

"Of course," Zhu Baixi nodded without hesitation.

"You’re not going to ask how much I need or what I’m going to use it for?" Chen Xiao asked, astonished.

Zhu Baixi laughed. "What’s mine is yours. Besides, I only have all this because of you. How you use it, or who you give it to, is none of my concern."

"Alright," Chen Xiao nodded, his mind already calculating just how much capital the Jiang Family and the Heavenly Dragon Association had available.

The crisis the Luo Group was facing was no small matter. Lu Rugao, armed with a hundred billion in capital, was aggressively aiming to crush them. In just two days, the Luo Group’s stock price had plummeted. Shareholders panicked and frantically sold off their shares. If this trend couldn’t be stopped, things would get very complicated. The Luo Group would be facing bankruptcy.

Consequently, Luo Qingli had been under tremendous pressure for the past two days, scrambling everywhere for funds to rival the Lu Corporation. But everyone knew the Lu Corporation was targeting her, so who would dare get involved in this mess? After several days, her efforts remained futile.

Chen Xiao, however, had another plan.

The Lu Family had the Mysterious Yin Pearl he wanted. Yet, even when Leng Baiyu had intervened on his behalf, the Lu Family refused to show deference, which demonstrated just how much they valued the pearl. His current goal was to lock up the Lu Family’s entire one hundred billion in cash flow in the stock market. When the Lu Family finally started to panic, he could use it as leverage to negotiate. The reason they were unwilling to hand over the Mysterious Yin Pearl was simply that the price Leng Baiyu offered wasn’t high enough. If Chen Xiao could swallow up their hundred billion and offer it as an exchange, would the Lu Family still cling so stubbornly to the pearl?

He was consolidating capital from all sides precisely to challenge Lu Rugao and obtain the Mysterious Yin Pearl from the Lu Family. If a hundred billion wasn’t enough, then he would add the Lu Family’s most precious treasure to the pot: Lu Rugao herself.

He imagined this was a deal the Lu Family would be very willing to make.

Over the next two or three days, Zhu Baixi successfully and thoroughly reorganized the entire Jiang Family. After a final check, she found the liquid funds the Jiang Family could mobilize amounted to a staggering 30 billion. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Dragon Association had also scraped together over 20 billion.

Chen Xiao borrowed the money directly, suddenly finding himself with over 50 billion in capital.

Afterward, he called Luo Qingli to ask about her situation.

Luo Qingli replied flatly, "I’ve only managed to raise 10 billion. The Luo Group is just an emerging enterprise, after all. We can’t compare to those established corporations with deep foundations. Our cash flow is too weak."

"Ten billion? That’s enough," Chen Xiao nodded.

He already had the perfect person in mind to help him fight this battle. It didn’t matter if they had sixty or seventy billion; even with only thirty billion in cash, the person he had in mind could counter Lu Rugao’s hundred billion. After all, this was a man feared by all of Wall Street. In the financial markets, he was invincible. In all the years since his debut, no one had ever been his rival. Even now, some of the world’s largest overseas capital funds entrusted their wealth to his management.

However, just to be safe, he made a call to Qin Lan.

Qin Lan paused for a moment before saying, "I have about 50 billion in cash flow that can be mobilized at any time."

As the foremost family in Zhonghai, the Qin Family’s foundation was naturally much stronger than others. Fifty billion was an astronomical sum no matter where you were.

"Good!" Chen Xiao nodded. "I’ll just borrow it for a while and return it to you soon."

Qin Lan laughed. "Why be so polite? Qingli is my dear sister. Even if you hadn’t asked, I would have helped her. Lu Rugao is far too arrogant."

Chen Xiao chuckled. "She won’t be arrogant for much longer."

"I believe you."

After making these preparations, Chen Xiao finally dialed a number he hadn’t called in a long time. As soon as the call connected, he heard the strange moans of a young woman on the other end, speaking in a foreign language.

He was exasperated. That guy is still as much of a philanderer as ever.

Soon, the sounds on the other end stopped abruptly, replaced by an excited young man’s voice. "Lord Chen! What brings you to call me? I’ve missed you to death!"

"Get lost!" Chen Xiao cursed with a laugh. "You’ve been having so much fun abroad you’ve forgotten all about coming home, haven’t you? You still remember me?"

"Lord Chen, you saved my life! How could I ever forget you?" Robin said, pulling up his pants as he spoke. "Lord Chen, is there anything this humble servant can do for you?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact, there is something I need your help with," Chen Xiao said. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Robin’s energy surged. "At your command, Lord Chen!"

Years ago, Chen Xiao had saved his life, and he still hadn’t had a chance to repay the favor. Now, the opportunity had finally arrived. How could he not be excited?
