Then, Zhai Zhongshen turned his attention to Qin Chuan.

Even though this room was filled with people, with the exception of his nephew, only Qin Chuan was worth his attention.

Zhai Zhongshen said to Qin Chuan: “You’re quite a talented individual. In the time you’ve been at Xunyu, you managed to reach your current position with your own abilities and connections. It’s a pity you were too rushed in making your decisions.”

Zhai Zhongshen’s evaluation was very pertinent.

If Qin Chuan followed in his past footsteps and kept growing and developing his power and connections, in the future, he would definitely become a force to be reckoned with.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan asked: “What are you going to do to me?”

Zhai Zhongshen corrected Qin Chuan: “Not what am I going to do. Rather, it’s what I’ve done already. When you leave this place, all businesses under the Qin family’s name will go bankrupt. Of course, that excludes the company Yiling invested in.”

The Second Master of the Zhai family was not a person who would waste time.

When Qin Chuan and Qian Feng began to collude, he had already started to take action.

However, he did not dispose of Qian Feng right away because he wanted them to let their guard down.

Otherwise, Zhai Zhongshen would have dealt with Qian Feng and Qin Chuan when they went to cause Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling trouble in the first place. If he didn’t want them to let their guard down, he wouldn’t have given Qian Feng urgent tasks to deal with.

During the time Qian Feng was away, Zhai Yunsheng and Zhai Zhongshen finished implementing their plans.

And thus, they weren’t planning to fight back. Rather, they already fought back.

Everyone’s gaze towards Qin Chuan changed from fear and worship to sympathy.

They didn’t expect Qin Chuan to be defeated like this.

If Qin Chuan was on the surface level of the Earth, Zhai Yunsheng and Zhai Zhongshen would be at the stratosphere level.

All of Qin Chuan’s plans were within the calculations of the Zhai family.

Then, Zhai Zhongshen directed his attention to Sheng Yingying and Qu Zhen: “You betrayed the Zhai family and the Loyalty Alliance. It’s time to pay the price. This trade war will continue on. A Sheng has prepared enough money for this.”

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yingying became completely devoid of her previous arrogance and mockery.

She softened her voice and pleaded: “Second Master of the Zhai family… We only betrayed the Zhai family because you guys didn’t trust us… You guys kept concealing things from us. You didn’t tell us that your brother founded Xunyu nor did you tell us that the Dingwen Group belonged to your guys. You never told the rest of the Loyalty Alliance about these things.”

Sheng Yingying implied that the Loyalty Alliance betrayed the Zhai family because the Zhai family didn’t trust them in the first place. She implied that their betrayal was a consequence of the Zhai family’s mistrust and lack of transparency.

Despite hearing this, Zhai Zhongshen replied: “I don’t care what made you guys betray the Zhai family. However, the Zhai family has zero tolerance for betrayers. We also have zero tolerance for people who try to harm us.”

Sheng Yingying became speechless.

Qu Zhen followed suit and begged: “Second Master of the Zhai family, as long as you promise to spare us this time, we are willing to work with you in the future. We will continue to serve the Zhai family for generations to come. Our ancestors established this alliance together. You can’t possibly watch this alliance get destroyed in the hands of our generation, can you?”

“I can bear to watch this. If the later generations only know how to hold onto tradition without adapting to change, they will inevitably fail,” Zhai Zhongshen responded.

As Qu Zhen said this, he probably forgot that Zhai Zhongshen was someone who refused to follow tradition. After all, he was never one to be limited by the rules and regulations of the past.

When Qu Zhen and Sheng Yingying heard this response, they were filled with regret.

Why did they betray the Zhai family?

The Zhai family held so much power and influence! If they continued to follow them, they’d surely earn a lot of money!

By following Qin Chuan, they pushed themselves into the most dangerous situation!
