<h4>Chapter 1274: Chapter 1273: Each with Their Own Hidden Agenda</h4>


    Mianlizhen was sent by Zhao Dongming to observe the situation here, and after returning, he reported the reactions of these seventeen Family Heads truthfully to Zhao Dongming and others.


    "What good cane from negotiating with someone surnamed Su?" Ge Kaiyang sneered coldly: "The Su’s have always been greedy and domineering, extremely assertive. These seventeen ns actually attacked himst night, it’s already not bad that Su Yang didn’t annihte these seventeen ns. Do they still expect Su Yang to show mercy to them?"


    Zhao Dongming smiled slowly, "This is good, if Su Yang was really lenient with them, could our n still be implemented?"


    "Exactly!" Ge Kaiyang also smiled and nodded, saying: "So when do we take action?"


    "Tonight," said Zhao Dongming. "Observe a bit more, I need to know what demands Su Yang has made, that made these seventeen Family Heads so angry. Only then, when we negotiate with these seventeen ns, will we have absolute say!"


    "Right!" Ge Kaiyang nodded. "Let’s wait a little more and see the response of these seventeen ns."


    In the afternoon, there was significant movement among the seventeen ns. Some withdrew their most vital industries, others sent core family members to the Shen Family Courtyard, and some even began to move their households, seemingly preparing to leave Capital City altogether.


    This situation shocked everyone in Capital City; they knew that Su Yang would certainly demand a huge price from these seventeen ns. However, they didn’t expect the price to be so steep.


    Some who were more familiar with these seventeen ns spected, based on what these ns were currently doing, that the punishment from Su Yang hadpletely shaken their foundations. That is to say, if they reallyplied with Su Yang’s demands, the strength and status of these seventeen ns would plummet drastically, which is very dangerous.


    But at this point, do these seventeen ns have a choice?


    Learning the news from outside, Ge Kaiyang, Zhao Dongming, and others were very excited; this was exactly the result they wanted.


    The greater the price these seventeen ns had to pay, the higher their chances of persuading them!


    "Surname Su really is seeking his own death, pushing all seventeen ns to a dead end. Doesn’t he know the principle of ’forcing too hard leads to bacsh’? Pushing these seventeen ns to this point, isn’t he afraid that they might fully turn against him?" Ge Kaiyang said coldly.


    "Su’s actions have always been like this!" said Zhao Dongming. "Moreover, he has to do this. He needs to make an example out of these seventeen ns, otherwise, if these ns treated him this way and he didn’t impose severe punishments, wouldn’t other ns dare to do the same in the future?"


    "Caught in a difficult situation, that’s exactly what describes him now!" Ge Kaiyang sneered. "Alright, I’ll leave the arrangements for the next steps to you."


    "No problem!" Zhao Dongming stood up, he had been waiting for this news. Now that everything was moving in the best direction, it was time for them to carry out their n.


    In the afternoon, Zhao Dongming changed his appearance and through many secretive routes, contacted the Family Heads of these seventeen ns.


    Initially, these Family Heads weren’t very interested in his proposal. However, when they learned that Lü Wenbang was still alive, they were all shocked. After that, the cooperation went much smoother. After all, the news that Lü Wenbang was still alive was too shocking for them!


    After negotiating with these seventeen ns, that night, Zhao Dongming arranged everything.


    At ten in the evening, Zhao Dongming brought Mianlizhen to transport the purple gauze to a forest in Beishan.


    Listening to Zhao Dongming’s instructions, Ge Kaiyang was puzzled: "Why are you sending it to the forest in Beishan? Isn’t this used to threaten Su Yang? Shouldn’t it be sent directly to him?"


    Zhao Dongming nced at Ge Kaiyang, who could be very cunning and sly at times, but sometimes so foolish it was unbelievable.


    "Directly sending this to threaten him, he would definitely know we are targeting him, and he would surely prepare in advance," said Zhao Dongming. "Moreover, we don’t know his rtionship with Jeang Zier. It’s hard to say whether he would take the risk to show up. But if they discover the purple gauze by themselves, Su would definitelye out to investigate immediately. At that time, without his preparations and few people around him, it will be the best opportunity to deal with him!"


    "That makes sense," Ge Kaiyang nodded. "But how do you know his people will be able to find this purple gauze? If they don’t find it, our n will be in vain."


    "I have already arranged for that," Zhao Dongming said. "Hou Shilin sent a batch of people from Pingnan Province to Capital City to collect information for him, among them, two were captured by me and are now working for me. These two will bring the purple gauze to Su Yang."


    Ge Kaiyang suddenly realized: "So you have prepared well in advance."


    "Dealing with Su Yang is not an easy matter; of course, preparations must be thorough," Zhao Dongming smiled.


    "That’s great, then this Mr. Su is in a situation from which he cannot escape this time!" Ge Kaiyang said excitedly.


    "Of course!" Zhao Dongming grinned: "Okay, let’s also hurry to the ambush location. The people from the seventeen ns have already discussed with me, once Su arrives there, they will intercept everyone in the Shen Family Courtyard. Plus, if needed, they will also send a team to support us, ensuring Su Yang is killed. Let’s head to Beishan first; everything is arranged, just waiting for Su Yang to fall into the trap."


    Ge Kaiyang, without dy, went to summon Smiling Hidden Knife and Lü Wenbang, and drove off first.


    As they drove away from their hiding spot, Ge Kaiyang’s smile immediately turned icy. He nced at Smiling Hidden Knife and said in a low voice: "Be very careful once we get there."


    "What’s the matter?" Smiling Hidden Knife asked in surprise.


    "Zhao Dongming, that bastard, doesn’t have good intentions," Ge Kaiyang said gravely.


    "Really?" Smiling Hidden Knife wondered. "Isn’t that unlikely? We are joining forces to deal with Su Yang and Lü Donglin, these two are our main targets. At this point, could he still have other intentions?"


    "You’re right, but have you considered, what after dealing with Su Yang and Lü Donglin?" Ge Kaiyang said gravely. "The credit for killing Su, would he be willing to share it with others?"
