as he stood there straight, seemingly exhausted. Yet, there were still dozens of people on the scene, dozens wielding clubs and swords, but none of these usually bold thugs dared to step forward. They...Chapter 1: The Main Text

Section 195: The Sima Clan

Qin Biao was silent for a long time

Because, he likes Liu Qin. 。If he went to Linhai University with Xiangxiang today, then it was destined that he and Liuqin would have no relationship in this life. 。Moreover, he has always been a loyal enforcer under Liu Tiannan. 。If he went to Linhai University today, then that would mean his other identity would be made public. 。He chose to take sides. 。But at the same time, he will also find himself in an awkward position within the Nalong Gang. 。At this time, Qin Biao's heart was complicated and he was struggling. 。He understood, as long as he stood up, the woman in front of him could only be his boss. 。not to be the kind of woman that someone would someday pursue 。Gritting his teeth, Qin Biao finally made up his mind. 。A long sigh escaped his lips, and he slowly stood up, looking at Liu Qin as he said word by word: "I'm going..." 。After a moment's pause, he gathered his courage and continued, "But I wasn't attracted to Xiangxiang for her beauty. 。You know, I like you. 。After he finished speaking, he gave Liu Qin a deep look, then turned around and strode out of the Fengqing Bar. 。As I stepped out of the bar, I heard Liu Qin say to me: "Now that's what a man is." 。Qin Biao's body trembled slightly, but he raised his head and straightened his chest, leaving in large strides. 。From this moment on, he has chosen to take sides. 。No matter if Liu Qin wins or loses this time, he stands by her side without hesitation. 。Having won, Qin Biao will usher in another peak in his life. 。...and if he lost, he also understood what the consequences would be... 。With Liu Qing's personality, where she believed that imperfections would be punished, at best she would be driven out of Linhai City, and at worst, she would face a fate worse than death. 。The latter's probability, will be larger. 。Once he made up his mind, he fought for his future as if it were everything. 。At this moment, he recalled Lin Long's smile from last night and vaguely understood its meaning. 。The underlying threat is palpable here. It seems that Liu Tiannan didn't say nothing at all, but rather gave himself a very clear signal. 。But if he didn't help Liu Qin, would he still be a man In the office of the chairman of Sikong Group, Sikong Yanran flipped through the performance report in her hand, her brows furrowed slightly. 。Over the past few months, Si Kong Group's performance has declined significantly, and the cooperation with the Yun family ultimately fell through. 。Frowning slightly, she picked up the phone and quickly dialed a few numbers. 。After a few minutes, several core members of the Sikong family arrived at her office. 。After everyone had settled down, Si Kong Yanran instructed her secretary to distribute a document to each person. Then, she sat at the head of the table, silently waiting for everyone's reaction. 。Five minutes later, everyone who had finished reading the material looked up one after another. 。And, everyone's face was a bit grim. 。"Yanran, is this document really sent to you by Ou Yang Yingliang and Li Bing together" A man about fifty years old with a sharp face said in a deep voice. 。This person is named Si Kong Bolong and he is the only elder among the several core figures. 。When handing over power to Si Kong Yanran, the previous generation of the Si Kong family chose to collectively withdraw, leaving only a venerable elder who had helped the Si Kong family through several crises on multiple occasions to assist Si Kong Yanran in fully mastering the Si Kong family. 。More than a decade ago, the Sikong family was just a small clan and held little status in Linhai City. 。But through the efforts of the people like Sikong Bolong's generation, during Sikong Yanan's time, the Sikong family had already become a powerful force in Linhai City. No one dared to underestimate this family anymore. 。Si Kong Yanran solemnly nodded and said, "Uncle Bolong, yesterday I met with Lin Meiyu, the daughter-in-law of the OuYang family, and she conveyed the OuYang family's intention and sincerity to cooperate." 。“After a pause, she continued, ‘Today I received a cooperation agreement jointly signed by Ou Yang Yingliang and Li Bing.’” 。" Si Kong Bolong put down the materials in his hand and glanced at the younger man, asking, "Qingdong, what do you think" Death Kong Qingdong, Si Kong Yanran's cousin, was the deputy chairman of the current Si Kong family board of directors, responsible for the specific affairs of the group. 。He raised his head, his face flashing with excitement, and said in a low voice, “This can be done.” 。"Yes, if everything goes well, with the Li family and the OuYang family as our allies, we might be able to take a significant leap forward." 。And both of them have massive resources and can conduct in-depth cooperation. 。Another young man named Si Kong Mingdong interjected. 。The remarks of the two people caused a murmur among the crowd. 。Some nodded in agreement, some shook their heads in disagreement, and others remained silent, saying nothing. 。Si Kong Yanran and Si Kong Bolong glanced at each other, neither speaking. 。"I don't quite agree with this cooperation plan." 。At this time, Si Kong Boyong's eldest son, Si Kong Yidong, raised his head and said in a deep voice: “This plan is too risky.” 。Ouyang Yingliang had no real standing in the Ouyang family to begin with. His two brothers, along with the elders' council, controlled most of the family's assets and power. 。Even with the Li family's help, his chances of winning are still slim. 。Moreover, this is a dispute within the family. If we intervene, and things go wrong, it could lead to disaster for the Si Kong family. 。Hearing what Sikong Yidong said, several people sitting beside him also nodded. 。Now it's very clear, the Sikong family has basically been divided into two camps. 。One supports cooperation, one does not, and both sides have very compelling reasons for their stance. 。Si Kong Yanran also nodded and said, "That's right, this matter, one wrong choice, will push the Si Kong family into a passive situation. 。The Si Kong family had finally achieved its current prosperity, and no one wanted to see this hard-earned success ruined. 。But, I want the Si family to have a wider development space. 。Si Kong Borong nodded in approval, gesturing for her to continue. 。Si Kong Yanyan picked up another file from her desk and distributed it to everyone. Then she said, “This is the performance report for this quarter. Qingdong has already reviewed it.” 。To be honest, when I saw this performance report, I got a little worried. 。Everyone was looking at the performance report, and their faces were not looking good. 。As you all know, the mining industry is currently mainly controlled by the Lee family. 。And on the real estate front, yesterday's contract signing with the Yun family also did not go through. 。"So, when I reviewed Ouyang Yingliang's proposal again, I saw a glimmer of opportunity," Si Kong Yanran said calmly. 。" We won. The Si Kong family will enjoy great development. 。We lost, let's start over. 。"If the Si Kong family cannot withstand the loss and gain in this coming family struggle, how can we stand firm" Si Kong Yanran's words were powerful and resounding. 。So I decided, to cooperate 。"Si Kong Yanran stood up, her face beaming with joy." 。At this moment, she exuded a valiant air, and said: "If we are to cooperate, the Sima clan must show sufficient sincerity in exchange for the alliance of the Li and Ouyang families." 。" 夢島學校 (****96090*), founded on 2013-9-30 " said with a smile:" 。 “Oh" 。Ye Fan nodded. Seeing Luo Xueyan walk away, he said to Li Qiang, "Go in first. I'll call you later, and you can meet me outside the school." 。""Yes, alright."Li Qiang cur...
