My Perfect Female CEO-Chapter 1075: The Storm Is Rising

Jiangnan, beneath the calm of the ancient well, crisis upon crisis surges.

Tang Family Residence.

Tang Venerable, Kunpeng, and Tang Jian’an sat discussing.

"Uncle." Tang Jian’an respectfully said to Tang Venerable, "I admit, Ye Fan is an extremely formidable character, but with the Song Family launching an invasion, backed by powerful forces, I don’t believe Ye Fan can turn the tide."

The worry in his heart was profound, with the Tang Family teetering on the edge, as the patriarch, Tang Jian’an was naturally anxious.

Unaware of Ye Fan’s identity as the Terminator, Tang Jian’an had his doubts, which was quite understandable.

"Compared to my Tang Family, the Song Family’s foundation is worlds apart. Now, they are colluding with foreign forces, attempting to annex my Tang Family. Regardless of the outcome, a fierce battle is inevitable." Tang Venerable squinted and said, "Inviting Mr. Ye for assistance, I certainly have my reasons. In this matter, you need not speak further, nor doubt Mr. Ye’s capabilities."

Tang Venerable paused, then said meaningfully, "Your care for the Tang Family’s safety is commendable, but what can be done now? Facing such formidable enemies, do you have a solution?"

"Uncle, clarity is needed. The situation now is unfavorable; we absolutely cannot place all hope on Mr. Ye. We should seek other paths for assistance." Tang Jian’an suggested.

"The Lu Family in the Northeast, the Wang Family in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the Guo Family in Macao—these families’ patriarchs, whom you call brothers. Can you enlist their help?" Tang Venerable inquired.

Tang Jian’an hesitated for a moment, then said dejectedly, "I’m afraid these people are eager to watch my Tang Family’s downfall. How could they possibly save us?"

Tang Jian’an sorrowfully realized that in such dire times, there were few allies to rely on.

Those with whom he had maintained close ties now became mere spectators.

Instead, it was the Chu Group, whom he had once opposed, that adhered to the alliance established by Ye Fan and Tang Venerable, promptly agreeing to aid.

"Such is the harshness of the world, leaving one cold-hearted. At the cusp of the family’s survival, it’s Uncle’s influence that still matters. Those close associates of mine aren’t nearly as genuine as one meeting between Uncle and Mr. Ye." Tang Jian’an murmured bitterly.

"A storm is coming." Tang Venerable gazed at the night sky, remarked with indignation, "The Tang Family can no longer remain silent. We must wield all potential energy. In the face of the family’s rise and fall, we have to risk it all."

Kunpeng revealed a bloodthirsty glint. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Inside the Song Family Residence.

Brothers Song Tianba and Song Muchen were also planning their family’s prospects and interests.

"The death of our third brother is indeed regrettable. Although his business wasn’t prominent, it was a lucrative venture." Song Muchen lamented deeply over Song Xianhe’s demise.

Song Tianba said, "Song Xianhe was unskilled, and his death was deserved. It is fortunate that his demise didn’t implicate the Song Family."

"But after all, he was our blood brother." Song Muchen remarked, "Although he set up his own venture, engaging in disgraceful dealings, it was tragic to die far from home, with no chance to even collect his body. Despite his faults, he was a part of the Song Family, and the wealth he held was astounding."

"Compared to the great opportunity at hand, the benefits Song Xianhe had are insignificant." Song Tianba expressed with anticipation, "Once the Song Family ascends to the pinnacle, we’ll stand at the zenith. The only consolation is that Song Xianhe’s death didn’t drag us down—it was a blessing within misfortune. If Huaxia’s high authorities become discontented and target the Song Family, it would be disastrous."

"Brother, do you think the Thirteenth Elder might be using the Song Family, supporting us to replace the Tang Family, to become Huaxia’s number one family, only to suppress and control us later?" Song Muchen was concerned.

The Thirteenth Elder he referred to was the Thirteenth Elder from Sky Net.

Sky Net, governed by eighteen elders at the pyramid’s apex, commands the vast Sky Net Organization. Each elder is a prominent figure with immense influence.

"No, if you insist it’s exploitation, it’s mutual. The Thirteenth Elder has promised the Song Family and signed contracts. When the Song Family is needed by Sky Net, we provide some convenience. When not, we fully develop independently without Sky Net’s interference." Song Tianba explained.

"So, does that mean the Song Family is subordinate to Sky Net?" Song Muchen slowly said, "Though somewhat reluctant to accept, if Sky Net helps the Song Family secure the seat of the first family, becoming the unique presence, being a subordinate isn’t unacceptable."

"Sky Net is towering and deeply rooted, rising powerfully, exceeding even the former God Organization. Since the Thirteenth Elder extends an olive branch to us, we must seize it. In Sky Net’s eyes, the Song Family is insignificant, not intending to destroy us. Once we establish the position of the first family, follow Sky Net’s orders—what’s the harm in that?"

Song Tianba said, "Tang Jian’an, ignorant of the situation, doesn’t cooperate with the Thirteenth Elder, seeking his own destruction. I am naturally pleased to witness this. Had he accepted the Thirteenth Elder’s suggestion, the Song Family wouldn’t have had this opportunity."

"The Tang Family’s defiance of the Thirteenth Elder’s intent puts them on the path to ruin, becoming the stepping stone for the Song Family’s rise—it couldn’t be better. Yet we must thank the Tang Family’s refusal. Otherwise, what business would the Song Family have?" Song Muchen sneered.

He puzzledly questioned, "With the Thirteenth Elder’s power, eliminating the Tang Family would be easy—why force their submission instead of eliminating threats and annexing them outright?"

"You don’t understand. The Tang Family, after all, is Huaxia’s first family. Making a fuss is naturally tricky, and arranging annexation brings complex difficulties. Besides, the Thirteenth Elder doesn’t want others to know of his existence. Thus, only steadily pressuring the Tang Family is the best course without engaging in combat." Song Tianba explained.

"But as we understand the Tang Family, they won’t possibly compromise?" Song Muchen questioned.

"Times have changed. If the Tang Family doesn’t realize the situation, they are only seeking their own death." Song Tianba laughed, "Once the Thirteenth Elder loses patience and the Tang Family remains arrogant, direct combat becomes unavoidable."

"I hope for the Tang Family to suffer and clash with the Thirteenth Elder. If the Tang Family surrenders, the Song Family might be in danger." Song Muchen expressed expectations.

"This cannot be forced, we can only act according to the Thirteenth Elder’s intentions. For the Song Family to rashly provoke the Tang Family into conflict is unwise." Song Tianba remained composed.
