Chapter 716: The Whereabouts of the Jing Family People
On the outskirts, Ho Residence.
Located on the southern coastline, the mansion exuded the grandeur of European palace-style architecture.
With a grave expression, Ho Zijue stepped into the sunroom, standing behind He Bonan, his voice low, "Dad, Elder Hu and the others have already been taken away."
He Bonan, past his sixties, gently rocked in his rocking chair, basking leisurely in the evening’s glow, "I’ve always said that Shang Zonghai isn’t so easily fooled. It was only a matter of time before they got caught."
Ho Zijue looked down at He Bonan, furrowing his brows, "But this time Shang Zonghai didn’t make a move. It was the complaints from Li Qiao that led Qin Song from the headquarters to make the arrests."
He Bonan sat up from the rocking chair, picked up a teacup from the armrest, and took a sip with a steady voice, reflecting, "That’s precisely where Shang Zonghai excels. Think about it, what is it that has allowed the Shang’s to become the leading family they are today?"
After some thought, Ho Zijue answered uncertainly with a shake of his head, "Dad, what is it?"
He Bonan stood up, laughing aloud, and strolled to the opposite balcony leisurely. He picked up a watering can and began to water the flowers, responding enigmatically, "I don’t know either. To this day, nobody knows what the Shang’s truly rely on, so their weakness remains undiscovered."
Ho Zijue, unconcerned, followed He Bonan, inquiring, "Could it be the Ning Family?"
"The Ning Family?" He Bonan turned his head to the side, "Ning Yuanhang is just a leader chosen by public vote, they don’t hold a candle to Shang Zonghai in terms of family strength."
Ho Zijue gazed out at the sunset from the balcony, silent in thought, "Then, I shouldn’t have believed the evidence provided by Elder Hu at that time."
