Chapter 1512 Save Yourselves Some Dignity
Wei Luo was very satisfied with Xu Lei''s reaction.
If Ye Fan and Xu Lei didn’t know how powerful the Wei family of Zhonghai was, then it would be meaningless for him to act like a
big shot.
But he had been worried for nothing after all.
"During this time, the Xu family business has been running into problems again and again, across all industries. Billions of
dors'' worth of goods have been stuck at the Zhonghai ports. So if my guess is right, your family''s the one who''s behind all of
this, right?" Xu Lei continued to ask as she frowned.
Now that this Wei Luo turned out to be from a powerful family in Zhonghai, everything that happened before this made sense to
Xu Lei.
It was no wonder that so many families in Yanjing had suddenly started distancing themselves from her.
And it was also no wonder that many of her expansion ns had run into issues.
The most pertinent of all was the fact that the goods that Xu Lei had ordered from overseas got stuck at Zhonghai by the
authorities, and they still hadn''t been released yet.
At that time, Xu Lei was under the impression that she had missed some paperwork, so she had run around trying to settle this
matter for a long time.
But everything was clear now.
Missing paperwork was merely an excuse.
The real reason was that the Wei family was the one holding up the goods.
Wei Luo merely smiled at Xu Lei’s questioning. "Miss Xu, you are indeed a lot more intelligent than others. Without any hints
from me, you put two and two together so quickly. That''s right, Miss Xu. All the issues you''ve run intotely are all my doing. But
that''s just an appetizer for you. The good show has only just started.
Next, I''m going to let all of you witness the birth of a new king in Yanjing.”
Wei Luo made this deration with great arrogance and confidence. He even looked disdainfully at Xu Lei and Ye Fan.
He was like a king looking down at ants.
If someone else said these words, Xu Lei might have just scoffed and felt that the other party was spouting nonsense.
But because these words were said by Wei Luo, Xu Lei did not think he was kidding.
Her eyes were filled with solemnness and grimness.
"Miss Xu, is the Wei family of Zhonghai very powerful? Are they even more powerful than the Xu family in Yanjing?" Ye Yu-Yan
couldn''t help but ask Xu Lei when she saw that Xu Lei had paled. She couldn''t help but feel a little curious and worried.
Even though Ye Fan was considered one of the most powerful people in China, there were still some people he couldn''t afford to
offend, like Sword Saint and the God of War, since they were the leaders of the martial arts circle.
But of course, besides the martial arts world, there were some really powerful figures who controlled a lot of areas in the
mundane world whom Ye Fan could not afford to simply ruffle their feathers.
Xu Lei nodded in response. "No matter how powerful the Xu family is, the best we managed was to be fourth ce among
the four great families of Yanjing. There were other families like the Mo family and Xur family, who have great military and martial
arts backing. In any case, the four families had to essentially share Yanjing."
“But the Wei family is different. Zhonghai is so huge, but the Wei family controls the whole ce by themselves. They are the
leader of the entire region. They have connections and people in every single aspect of Zhonghai.” "The person | talked to about
my goods getting stuck in Zhonghai was also connected to the Wei family. No wonder nothing moved. The people who were
targeting my family turned out to be the Wei family themselves,” said Xu Lei in a grim voice. There was worry written in her eyes.
At her position, there were very few factions of power that Xu Lei was wary of within the country.
However, the Wei family of Zhonghai was exactly one of those few factions of power.
Zhonghai was the most prosperous region of China.
One family had managed to gain control over the entire region and make everyone else bow to them. It wasn''t hard to imagine
how powerful this Wei family was.
In all of China, the only ones who could possibly fight the Wei family would probably be families like the Lu, Xur and Mo families
who were descendants of true blue aristocratic families.
The Xu family had be a powerful family only because they had made a lot of money.
Unfortunately for them, money and physical assets were nothing in the eyes of the truly powerful.
That was also why the Xu family lost to the other families in terms of prestige and power within Yanjing.
CLAP CLAP!
After Xu Lei finished exining all this to Ye Yu-Yan, Wei Luo started apuding.
"| knew it. The ones who know you the best are your rivals. Looks like this old saying is true. Miss Xu, | suppose you''ve
researched hard on the Wei family before this. But that sounds about right. Our families have shed a few times over the past
two years, haven''t we? | remember you tried to expand your business into Zhonghai two years ago, and my family blocked your
move," Wei Luo smiled faintly.
Xu Lei frowned even more deeply.
Wei Luo was right about that.
She had been trying very hard to expand her business over the past two years.
Yanjing''s economy was not doing as well as Zhonghai''s, so Xu Lei put in a lot of effort to open a branch in Zhonghai so that she
could enter its market.
But her ns were stopped very quickly by the Wei family.
She had tried to fight the Wei family then, but of course, she had failed miserably. She even had to give up her expansion ns,
and agreed with the Wei family that neither side would attempt to expand into each other''s territory from then on.
Because of that, Xu Lei’s Zhonghai expansion n was shelved, and the billions she had invested went down the drain.
"Since you''ve brought this up, | want to ask you then - | made an agreement with the head of your family to never cross each
other''s paths again. Why didn''t you keep to it? | didn''t attempt any expansion into Zhonghai, so why are you making trouble in
Yanjing?" Xu Lei questioned him coldly.
Wei Luoughed. "Miss Xu, don''t you
think you sound very silly? That''s an
agreement between the heads@f |
t miles. pare no longer
pvjecii of the Xu family. If anybody
wants to challenge me on that
agreement, then Feng should be the
one raising this question. You''re not
qualified to do so." Please read the

"Alright, I''ve said everything I''ve
supposed to, so let''s cut the crap.
You''ve been chased out of the X
family and | can lefyen bo oft one
god piebe but first, you must kneel
before Feng and apologize. If you
don''t do that, then you, and that little
lover boy of yours, aren''t going
anywhere today," said Wei Luo in a
commandeering voice as he sneered
at her. Please read the original

Xu Lei fell silent.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally looked up and said in a low voice, "Fine. | can apologize to Xu Mei-Feng, and | can
give up the position of being head of the Xu family. But my only condition is that you do not touch the Xue family."
Ye Fan relied on herself and Xue Ren-Yang to control Yanjing.
She had fallen from grace, so if the Xue family was dragged down with her as a result, everything that Ye Fan had built in Yanjing
would vanish.
She didn''t want everything that Ye Fan had built and schemed for so many years to go down the drain because of her.

But Wei Luo shook his head at her
request. "Miss Xu, wake up and look
at the situation you''re in. You''re not in
a position to negotiate hajn GadAbW.
peppy Fel has been waiting
for a very long time now. Call that
lover boy of yours along to kneel
down and apologize to Feng now.
Save yourselves some dignity if you
can, don''t make me get my
subordinates to force you to kneel."
