Chapter 335: Bloodbath?

Du Fusheng's flattering smile froze instantly, his eyes bulging round, his face full of embarrassment.

Make Lu Zhengming step down?

This isn't a small matter!

Du Fusheng swallowed, cold sweat on his forehead began to drip again, and even his speech was stammering.

"Jiang… Jiang Ge… this matter is a bit too difficult!"

He cautiously watched Jiang Feng's expression, and seeing no reaction, forced himself to continue explaining.

"Although the Lu family isn't among the Provincial Capital Nine Great Families, its foundation isn't shallow."

"The Lu family's Old Master was a major ruler back then; even after retiring for years, his connections and influence remain! Many veteran officials in Jiangnan Province still have to give Old Master Lu some deference!"

"Moreover, Lu Zhengming himself has held the Director-General position at the Jiangnan Medical Administration for almost ten years, and he's never been idle; his roots are deep! Even my family's Old Master would have to weigh carefully before moving against him, let alone…"

Du Fusheng paused here, his tone faltering, and his gaze unintentionally drifted to Shen Junyao standing beside Jiang Feng.

At this moment, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face, as if he harbored an unspeakable secret.

Jiang Feng watched him this way, his eyebrows slightly raised.

"And besides what? Speak up, don't beat around the bush."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Du Fusheng flinched again, quickly adding.

"If you want to move against Lu Zhengming, you can't bypass his wife Du Yanran! Du Yanran is the chairperson of Qingshan Group, a corporation valued at over a hundred billion, whose taxes rank among the top in the province!"

"Even the Provincial Government, out of respect for Qingshan Group and Du Yanran, wouldn't act against Lu Zhengming lightly! After all, harming him could affect Qingshan Group's operations, which would have a considerable impact on Jiangnan Province's economy, and my family's Old Master must consider that connection!"

Du Fusheng finished in one breath, dared not look at Jiang Feng, and lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.

Jiang Feng, after listening, turned his gaze to Shen Junyao.

He, of course, knew the key lay in Shen Junyao's attitude toward Lu Zhengming.

Although Lu Zhengming acted like a scoundrel in this matter, to actually strike at him one must consider Shen Junyao's mother's thoughts.

Jiang Feng had previously overlooked this; while he was pondering whether to first ask Du Yanran, Shen Junyao spoke up first.

"Jiang Feng, let's handle this as you said; regarding my mother… I'll speak to her myself."

"From the moment Lu Zhengming sold me, our father‑daughter bond was doomed; I'll tell my mother about this myself…"

"If she insists on standing with Lu Zhengming, then we can only blame the lack of bond between mother and daughter."

Hearing this, Jiang Feng instantly understood.

It seems that after this, Shen Junyao is completely disillusioned with Lu Zhengming.

Given that, he no longer needs any reservations.

Jiang Feng, too lazy for idle talk, waved his hand broadly.

"Since that's the case, do as I say; if you don't deal with Lu Zhengming, I'll deal with you."

At those words, Du Fusheng's face turned instantly mournful.

This time he really suffered a huge loss.

If it goes wrong, he'll be at a loss on both fronts.

Seeing Du Fusheng's expression, Jiang Feng gave a cold smile.

"Besides your Du family, I'll have the Huo Family step in, as well as the Duanmu Family and the Ma Family. If that's still insufficient, the Xia Family in the Provincial Capital will also appear…"

Each time Jiang Feng named a wealthy clan, Du Fusheng's eyes widened a bit more.

When he finally mentioned the Xia Family, Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow and asked.

"I can't believe that even with five families united, you still can't handle a single Lu Zhengming?"

"Huo Family? Duanmu Family? Ma Family? Xia Family!"

Du Fusheng froze as if struck by lightning, his whole body rigid.

"Jiang… Jiang Ge, is what you said true? You're not joking with me, are you?"

The Huo Family, Duanmu Family, and Ma Family are all top‑tier among the Provincial Capital Nine Great Families!

And the Xia Family, being the foremost of the Nine Great Families, has unfathomable depth; even his father, the Provincial Governor, must give the Xia Family some deference!

Jiang Feng can actually mobilize the power of these four families?

Add their Du Family, and five families together make a lineup terrifying to the extreme!

Du Fusheng swallowed and couldn't help letting out a curse.

"Damn! My god! Jiang Ge, with this lineup, not even to make Lu Zhengming step down— even my father's Provincial Governor position would likely crumble!"

His gaze at Jiang Feng now turned into deep reverence.

Whoa!

What had blinded me before? How could I dare offend such a deity?

Just by speaking, he could mobilize four of the Provincial Capital Nine Great Families!

Such power and background, perhaps even the legendary Jiangnan King might not possess.

The more Du Fusheng thought, the more dread grew; his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

He was immensely relieved that he had quickly backed down earlier, not continuing to clash with Jiang Feng.

If he had hesitated even a second earlier, or still dared to be stubborn, he'd likely have died here today, and the entire Du family would have been dragged into endless ruin!

Thinking this, Du Fusheng hurriedly put on an ultra‑flattering smile, his attitude ten times more deferential than before.

"Jiang Ge! I truly was blinded by lard before, unable to recognize Mount Tai; you are magnanimous, please never compare with me!"

"Rest assured, from now on I, Du Fusheng, will be your number‑one lackey! Whatever you need, just command; whether scaling knife‑mountains or crossing seas of fire, my brow won't even wrinkle!"

He pounded his chest, his tone exceedingly sincere, his eyes full of flattery.

He now finally understood why Ma Jian and Duanmu, those fearless ones, worship Jiang Feng so much.

This damn luck of being able to grab onto Jiang Feng's thigh is like a pie falling from the sky—a wonderful thing.

He decided that from now on he would replace Ma Jian and Duanmu Hongjie and become Jiang Ge's number‑one lackey!

From now on in Jiangnan Province, who else would dare to provoke him?

Jiang Feng looked at Du Fusheng's pretentious‑then‑obsequious demeanor, his face showing little expression, only a faint nod.

"Jiang Ge, you can rest assured, Lu Zhengming that old guy's matter is on me! I'm heading back to the Provincial Capital immediately, going straight to see my father to discuss! Even if I have to stake all the Du Family's contacts and resources, I will get this done beautifully!"

"At most three days! Jiang Ge, just wait for good news! I guarantee I'll make Lu Zhengming tumble from his position as Director-General of the Jiangnan Medical Administration, and make him pay for his deeds!"

Having said that, Du Fusheng immediately turned his head and ran out.

The remaining people from the three departments also dared not stay; within a short while they all fled.

Hua Lao and Hua Yingying saw that Shen Junyao and Jiang Feng had something to discuss, and they left in tacit understanding.

At this moment, only Shen Junyao and Jiang Feng remained in the room.

"Junyao, I…"

Before Jiang Feng could speak, Shen Junyao immediately threw herself into Jiang Feng's arms.

"Jiang Feng, thank you."

Jiang Feng instantly showed a faint smile.

But the next second, his eyes widened instantly.

Because Su Xueyan, at some unknown time, had suddenly appeared at the doorway!
