Qiu Mu-Cheng''s words were firm and resolute, echoing in the restaurant like gold nging onto the floor. Once she finished


    speaking, she turned to leave without even giving Lv Hua a nce.


    "Miss Qiu, have you heard of the Lv family of Jiangbei?" came Lv Hua’s faint chuckle from behind Qiu Mu-Cheng just after she


    had taken a few steps out.


    But she ignored him and continued walking anyway.


    “If you don''t want everything that Ye Fan built to be destroyed in your hands overnight, I''d advise you to let me finish speaking,”


    said Lv Hua in a confident and calm voice as he held his wine ss.


    Qiu Mu-Cheng finally stopped walking.


    The smile on Lv Hua’s lips widened when he saw the effect his words had.


    “Looks like you''re an intelligent woman, and you''re able to understand the situation you''re in. In that case, | will stop beating


    around the bush. Beforeing here, | heard that Mufan Group is the most powerful corporation in Jiangdong, and half of its


    wealth belongs to yourpany. On top of that, the leaders of various sectors and factions all listen to everything Mufan Group


    says, and nobody dares to go against you, the chairman of the Jiangdong chamber ofmerce."


    “One can say that you are the most powerful woman in Jiangdong right now. You used to be a rank lower than just one person,


    but a rank above everyone else. But now that Ye Fan is dead, you are now the leader of Jiangdong!"


    "But | have to ask you one question, Miss Qiu. Do you really think that a weak woman like you will be able to hold up all of


    Jiangdong? Would you really be able to hold all those rich and powerful people back?" said Lv Hua in a slow and calm manner


    as he sipped his wine. But his words weighed heavily on Qiu Mu-Cheng''s heart.


    However, Qiu Mu-Cheng didn''t want to listen to him speak anymore. She replied him in a cold voice, "Whether | can hold them


    back or not has nothing to do with you. This is mypany''s problem and a Jiangdong matter. We do not need you to worry


    about it."N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    Lv Huaughed quietly and shook his head. "Miss Qiu, that''s really cold of you. As | said before, | promised Brother Ye to take


    care of you and to take care of Mufan Group. So it''s only natural for me to prepare for the worst and help you to think of a way to


    stabilize Jiangdong and protect all the assets you have."


    Qiu Mu-Cheng was a little interested in what he had to say now.


    Just like what Lv Hua said, Mufan Group had grown tremendously in thest year and had affiliates in all 18 cities of Jiangdong.


    In short, almost every industry was part of this huge conglomerate.


    Qiu Mu-Cheng was merely a young woman, so while she was capable enough to manage a smallerpany like Qiushui


    Logistics, a gargantuan corporation like Mufan Group was indeed too difficult for her to handle by herself.


    But Ye Fan could!


    As long as Ye Fan was alive, he remained an invisible form of authority over the rest of the powerful people in Jiangdong.


    Qiu Mu-Cheng never had to worry about any of this in the past.


    But now that she didn''t know whether Ye Fan was really dead or not, anybody who found out about this might change their minds


    about whether to continue being loyal to Ye Fan.


    The same tragedy that Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua created thest time might happen again.


    "Do you really have a way of dealing with this?" Qiu Mu-Cheng asked Lv Hua.


    Lv Hua nodded. "But of course. Let''s analyze this situation. The problem right now is that you aren''t powerful enough to control


    Jiangdong and it''s difficult to make sure that the people who listen to you now will continue listening to you. It''s not hard to


    resolve this problem. You just need to form an alliance with someone or a group that is powerful enough to keep these people


    under your thumb.”


    "The Lv family of Jiangbei, my family, is a great choice in this instance. My family is the most powerful in Jiangbei. We have a


    long history of being a martial arts family within China. My grandfather, Lv Song-Liang, is one of China''s grandmasters. With the


    Lv family as your backing, | highly doubt anybody in Jiangdong would dare to go against you!" Lv Hua spoke valiantly and his


    proudughter sounded fairly confident.


    “And what''s the price for forming an alliance? Mr Ly, I''m sure you want something in return for forming an alliance with me," said


    Qiu Mu-Cheng quietly as she turned to look at Lv Hua.


    It was true that Qiu Mu-Cheng was a little tempted by this idea.


    If the Lv family could help her out, then she didn''t have to worry about anything.


    Jiangdong was peaceful and quiet now, but once news of Ye Fan''s passing was leaked, Mufan Group''s hold over the province


    would certainly be in jeopardy.


    But if she could really get the backing of the Lv family as Lv Hua described, then she would still be able to keep Jiangdong the


    way it was right now.


    The question now was how much forging this alliance was going to cost her.


    "Something in return?" Lv Hua shook his head andughed quietly. "| don''t want really want much in return."


    “As long as | can make you happy, | am willing to do anything. My only wish is that you will marry me, be my woman and


    have my children. My father is the head of the Lv family, so after he retires, the Lv family and its assets in Jiangbei will be


    controlled by me. When that happens, all the wealth and power of Jiangbei and Jiangdong will be within our hands. | will be the


    king and you shall be my queen. We will rule this empire together. How about that?" said Lv Hua arrogantly as he looked at Qiu


    Mu-Cheng with covetousness and


    lust.


    Lv Hua was pretty smart in doing things this way.


    Now that Ye Fan was gone, the real person in control of Mufan Group was Qiu Mu-Cheng.


    If the Lv family wanted Ye Fan''s assets, they didn''t need to actually attack Mufan Group''s business. They just needed to get Qiu


    Mu-Cheng on their side.


    Once Qiu Mu-Cheng agreed to this deal and married Lv Hua, then Mufan Group would naturally be part of the Lv family''s


    assets.


    This was definitely a way of getting the maximum benefit with minimum effort.

    She was young, but she had seen much of society over the past few years.


    She could see exactly what Lv Hua was plotting.


    He was clearly trying to take over Mufan Group without having to do anything and gain a strong foothold in Jiangdong.
