Chapter 930 - 931 Analysis
Song Xiaodong’s relaxed demeanor, along with a few jokes, eased everyone’s mood considerably. Su Yuya smiled and said, "It seems the Family Head is confident and prepared. Can you tell us what we should do to prepare now?"
Song Xiaodong stopped rocking the chair, but still leaned back, and said casually, "No need to prepare anything, just wait for them."
Su Yuya frowned and said, "Family Head, the opponents are the Zhou Family and the Qiao Family. Either of these families is not something we can easily provoke."
Song Xiaodong said, "So what? If they want to provoke us, should we beg for mercy before they even act?"
Su Yuya said, "Of course not, but we should prepare so we’re not caught off guard when the time comes."
"The big families in Beijing aren’t scary. In terms of background and connections, they are definitely stronger than us, but they might not have as much capital and resources as us. When they come to a local area, the actual resources they can use are much less than what their family possesses. Their prestige often intimidates local families into being submissive, and that’s why people are afraid of them."
Song Xiaodong rocked the chair again, saying, "They openly came to Minghe without fear of us knowing, clearly intending to bully us. So we might as well confront them head-on. If they’re daring enough to throw a punch, we’ll hit them back. It’s that simple. When you truly stand up to them, you’ll realize they aren’t as formidable as they appear."
Su Yuya recalled the previous conflict with the Cao Family and the Zhao Family. In the end, the Zhou Family had no choice but to accept defeat with subdued embarrassment, without causing any significant turmoil. Seeing Song Xiaodong’s confidence, she couldn’t help but ask, "Family Head, do we have a significant force backing you up at the top?"
Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "Not exactly backing, but I know what’s on the top’s mind now. So I understand what the big families in Beijing can actually deploy. If they cross a certain line, the consequences are something they can’t bear. So, in a fight with us, they don’t actually hold the upper hand. Think about it, if the Zhou and Qiao Families truly had such capabilities, why would they need to seek out someone like Matsumoto Koji? They could just pressure us directly."
Su Yuya’s eyes lit up and said, "Knowing this line, we can make targeted arrangements. Family Head, can you talk about it? You don’t still distrust me, do you?"
