C384 The Situation Had Escalated
Currently, there was no clear evidence that the Yov family and the Du family had joined forces.
But first, the Ye family was targeted by the Du family, then the Hu family was annihilated by the Yov family, and then there was a problem with the merchant ships on the sea.
Three things had happened too suddenly, and it was too much of a coincidence. Xiao Chen had no choice but to guess.
Especially those Houtian experts who suddenly appeared in the garden of the Du family.
Obviously, the Du family didn't have that many Houtian experts guarding it, but the New World Alliance and the Yov family did.
This thought seemed to make sense.
Xiao Chen thought that his guess was the correct answer, but after Wen Shuyi heard it, she laughed out loud.
"Just based on those bastards and ants from the Du family?"
"What do you mean?" Xiao Chen immediately narrowed his eyes, and his voice became much more serious.
"A mere Du family is nothing to Mingluo. So, you don't have to worry about us joining forces with the Du family. But... "
" But what?"
" You must have guessed it. As soon as something happened to you guys, Mingluo immediately sent his men to take action. There must be something going on here. "
"Who is it?" Xiao Chen's eyes darkened, and he asked in a cold voice.
However, Wen Shuyi shook her head and said, "I am not responsible for this. But you want to know, sister can help you investigate."
Up until now, only Wen Shuyi had admitted to the relationship between the siblings.
This time, she seized the opportunity. Of course, she would not let it go and immediately laughed evilly.
"However, this matter is more troublesome. Sister, I am also in danger of being exposed."
She spoke as if she was in a very difficult position, but her tone was completely that of asking for benefits.
Xiao Chen himself often did this kind of thing.
Therefore, the moment Wen Shuyi spoke, he immediately felt something in his heart.
"What do you want?"
Since he did not admit to his relationship with Wen Shuyi, Xiao Chen naturally did not want to let others work for free.
"Haha, let me call you sister first!"
"If you don't want to help, then forget it!" Xiao Chen's head turned black. How could he shout?
After saying that, he immediately hung up the phone and ignored that woman.
Wen Shuyi was still unwilling to give up. She called Xiao Chen several times, but Xiao Chen did not answer.
Frowning, she communicated with Wen Shuyi and helped him get rid of some of his confusion.
However, there were a lot of problems now. However, removing the confusion was obviously not enough. He had to think of a way to turn the situation around.
Since the merchant ship had already fallen into the hands of New World Alliance, it was impossible to find it in a short period of time.
However, the large number of goods on the merchant ship was not a small number. The biggest problem was that they could not deliver the goods as scheduled.
Apart from that, the destruction of the Hu family would definitely cause a commotion within the Merchant Union. What he needed to do now was to stabilize the situation.
However, the news spread faster than he had expected. That night, the news of the Hu family's destruction had already reached Jin Lan.
Chu Huaiyu immediately gave him a call and told him the decision to withdraw from the Merchant Union.
Xiao Chen's brows knitted tighter and tighter. An ominous feeling suddenly emerged in his heart.
Sure enough, the next morning, out of the 18 families, one-third of them announced their withdrawal from the Merchant Union.
Furthermore, each of them held a press conference specifically for this matter, and completely ignored their relationship with the Merchant Union.
They also responded to the slanderous remarks that had appeared on the Internet about the Merchant Union.
It was as if they had made an appointment, and they all declared that they did not know about this.
However, at this moment, it was enough to make people think that they had cut off their relationship with the Merchant Union.
The Merchant Union, which was already in a heated discussion, was pushed to the top of the wave in an instant.
The withdrawal of numerous families had also caused a huge blow to the newly established Merchant Union.
Before the New Year, they had been spreading rumors about how amazing the Merchant Union was, but in the blink of an eye, the Merchant Union had become a laughing stock.
Those reports that had not been deleted in time had become the best joke.
As for the remaining twelve families, they had yet to respond to this for the time being.
However, there were already posts shouting online.
The netizens were waiting for other families that had yet to express their views to come forward and directly respond to the scandal on the Internet.
Other than that, the Morning Jade platform's users' rumors were flooded with curses and accusations.
The biggest project of Jin Lan, Hong Lan, was once again obstructed by the original discarded raw materials case.
And this time, the Muh family and the Zhang family stood on the same side.
However, the details of the previous case had been dug out.
The Zhang's and the Muh family had turned from enemies to partners, which made people feel that there was something fishy going on.
Because of this, the public opinion became even more turbulent. Some people even requested to investigate the Zhang's and the Muh's.
There were even discussions about stopping the project of recruiting Jiang Jing.
The situation suddenly became surrounded by enemies from all sides.
But that was not the end!
As time passed, the news of the merchant ship's disappearance slowly spread.
In the end, paper could not cover fire.
In just two days, all the major business partners had already received the news.
Whether it was Chu Huaiyu or Ruan Hongyu, the phone call had never stopped since then. The previous concealment had also failed.
On that day, Ruan Hongyu represented the Red Meeting and Chu Huaiyu represented the Morning Jade platform and held a meeting on the line with all the major business partners.
According to the two's thoughts, they originally wanted to apologize first and then discuss whether they could hurry out a batch of the same goods.1
However, from the beginning of the meeting, it became an inquiry meeting.
The conclusion was the termination of the contract and compensation.
This time, the merchant ship involved more than ten companies. Apart from some common goods, there were also many precision instruments.
The total value was several hundred million.
Of course, the main responsibility was on the Red Association's side. After all, they were responsible for the logistics, so the Red Association took up the majority of the compensation.
However, before the meeting ended, all the major partners proposed to terminate the contract with the Dawn Jade Platform.
Even the bosses of many companies did not participate in this meeting.
However, the lawyer's letter flew to Chu Huaiyu's desk like a snowflake after that.
These collaborators demanded the Morning Jade platform to pay the penalty, or else they could not rule out the possibility of a lawsuit.
On the other side, Xiao Chen had already heard the news before he could think of a way to deal with the Du family and Yov family.
The first thing he did was to rush back from Shangyu.
When the Ye family found out that he had left, all of their faces turned deathly pale, and they fell into despair.
The day Xiao Chen left, the old man from the Ye family suddenly aged by twenty years.
However, for the sake of his family, the old man of the Ye family had no choice but to bow his head to the Du family.
It was also from the moment Old Man Ye entered the Du family that both the Merchant Union and Xiao Chen had become a laughing stock.
He came aggressively and left with his face covered in dust.
Some people even specially cut off Xiao Chen's back when he left, turning it into an emoticon and scrambling to look at it in the circle.
