Chapter: 723
"And the owner of Tianxiang Hall, Hong Wu, is also on the guest list today. He's a big shot in Jinling's underground world, even if he doesn't surface much. His eyes are everywhere in Jinling, so you should make good friends with them today to benefit your future pursuit of Song Wenying."
Wu Xin only knew about the Wang and Qin families, knowing their family heads were Wang Zhenggang and Qin Gang respectively, and understood their influence. However, he wasn't too familiar with the other few families, so he asked: "Dad, except for the Wang and Qin families, what's the background of Liu, Zhao, and Kong?"
Wu Donghai chuckled mischievously: "Zhao and Kong are just ordinary families involved in real estate. Nothing too impressive there. But Liu is a different story. They're a financial company that specializes in illegal loan sharking, with a bunch of thugs and debt collectors under their control."
Wu Xin exclaimed in surprise: "So he's not too different from Hong Wu in terms of character?"
"Similar characters." Wu Donghai nodded and said: "But his abilities are far inferior to Hong Wu's. Hong Wu has many underlings in Jinling, equivalent to tens of times more than Liu Guang's debt collection team, so even if Liu Guang hates Hong Wu to the bone, he dare not touch him."
"Liu Guang hates Hong Wu?" Wu Xin asked in surprise: "Are there conflicts between them?"
Wu Donghai laughed: "The conflicts are huge. Liu Guang has a only son named Liu Ming, who somehow offended Hong Wu and was stabbed by Hong Wu on his forehead with two characters."
"What characters?"
"Beggar's luck!"
"Good grief!"
When Wu Xin heard this, he exclaimed in shock: "Hong Wu actually used a knife to carve 'Beggar's luck' onto Liu Guang's only son's forehead? This is not even enough for sworn enemies!"
"Yes, that's it." Wu Donghai smiled slightly and said: "I estimate that Liu Guang and his father would dream of killing Hong Wu and eating his flesh!"
When Wu Xin heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Dad, since you know Liu Guang and Hong Wu are enemies, why did you invite him to dinner?"
Wu Donghai laughed: "Don't you think Liu Guang is a good object to use? A dog that wants to bite people but doesn't dare open its mouth, the most lacking is a master who can give it confidence and let it freely bark at people.""
Wu Xin said: "Dad, if you want to win over Liu Guang, why did you set up the dinner in Tianxiang Manor? He's as volatile as fire and water; this isn't very difficult, is it?"
Wu Donghai gazed deeply at Wu Xin and said: "Liu Guang and Hong Wu are both dogs. The only difference is that Liu Guang is a stray dog without an owner, while Hong Wu is the Song family's dog.")
Wu Xin nodded and asked: "Then what? Dad, do you have any profound intention?"
Wu Donghai said: "You will marry Song Wenying in the future. You must establish your own power in Jinling. Now, these families in Jinling are very polite to us, but they don't regard us as their master. They only regard the Song family as their master, so we must develop our own power in Jinling.")
Wu Donghai said: "Power is divided into two types: one is on the surface, and the other is underground. The one on the surface refers to these families that are doing legitimate business, excluding the Liu family and Hong Wu. The underground one refers to the kind of dog we can't tame. Since we can't tame Hong Wu, we must cultivate a dog that can rival him. Therefore, the Liu family is the best choice.")
Wu Donghai looked at Wu Xin, seriously cautioning: "In the future, you will inherit the Wu family, so you must be proficient in power politics. Why did I invite Liu Guang to dinner?"
"One aspect, I want Liu Guang to feel surprised and happy; he's a stray dog without an owner, and finally has the opportunity to dine with me, a big shot."
"One aspect, I want Liu Guang to feel humiliated; he's a stray dog without an owner, and when facing his arch-nemesis Hong Wu, he can only swallow his pride and keep silent. It's only by humiliating him that his desire for revenge will be doubled! By then, I'll show mercy and give him an opportunity to become my loyal subordinate, as well as the chance to take revenge. He'll surely be grateful to me and use all his strength to take on Hong Wu."
"Hong Wu is defeated, and he becomes the underground emperor of Jinling. At that point, the underground world of Jinling will be our family's stronghold, understood?"
Wu Xin was enlightened upon hearing this.
He exclaimed excitedly, "Dad, your strategy is indeed too wonderful! This way, Liu Guang will surely die for us Wu family! He'll become our vanguard and a bridgehead for our future conquest of Jinling!" JrNovels.com
