Chapter 230: Have Some Tea, Chat Heart-to-Heart_1
Ten o’clock at night.
Sitting in a rosewood chair, Cheng Debiao, the Family Head of the Cheng Family in Jiangnan, looked at the blooming begonias outside the window.
He occasionally picked up the porcelain cup on the side table to take a sip, and occasionally touched the bridge of his nose as if pondering over some vexing matter.
The Four Great Families of Jiangling City had been in control for a long time, acting like a shield that kept all external forces at bay.
To establish one’s own influence in this region, even the Tao Family, the foremost family of Jiangnan City, did not have the confidence.
But now there was an opportunity; if they could use Nie Kuangtu’s knife to strike a blow to either the Tang Family or the Zhou Family, the Cheng Family would have a chance to move in during the chaos.
However, there are risks involved with everything, especially since the Tang Family, as the leading family among the Four Great Families, were not only formidable in strength but also had extensive connections, even able to pull strings within the Martial Alliance.
If the Cheng Family truly set their hearts on getting involved and failed to annihilate the Tang Family, even with the Tao Family behind them, it would likely not be an easy time.
Yet the tin mine Nie Kuangtu spoke of was indeed tantalizing.
"Ding ling ling..."
Suddenly, the silence of the dark night was pierced by the urgent ringing of a cell phone.
