As soon as Lu Yi left, Bai Wensheng and the others were taken away by the police, without even a chance to speak!
Watching Bai Wensheng and the others depart, the Zhou family's expressions were remarkably complex, with many still caught in the emotions of the moment!
Was Wang Er Zhu just a nouveau riche?
What kind of nouveau riche could possess such powerful connections!
Not only did he have powerful families as his backing, but even the provincial governor called Wang Er Zhu "brother." Such connections surpassed those of even the most influential families!
Seeing this, Zhou Mingcheng wiped the cold sweat from his brow in shock. Thankfully, he hadn't said anything just now, otherwise, one wrong word could have sent him plummeting into an abyss!
Beside him, Lu Yucheng was so stunned he couldn't speak. He had imagined his benefactor had extensive connections, but he never expected them to be this vast!
He could even mobilize the provincial governor, who had never left Hua Bei City. This... this network of connections was truly immense!
"Now, do you have any objections?"
Er Zhu scanned the entire Zhou family and spoke slowly.
He didn't want to waste any more time on this matter. What he needed to do was quickly acquire the Bai family, to give an account to his parents and grandfather in the afterlife!
"The Zhou family is yours. We have no objections!"
"We firmly support Mr. Wang as the head of the Zhou family!"
"The Zhou family rightfully belongs to Mr. Wang!"
...
As soon as Er Zhu finished speaking, led by Zhou Li and Zhou Mi, the members of the Zhou family shouted, raising their fists.
Although they were unwilling and furious, facing Wang Er Zhu, whose connections were so vast, they could only agree!
Furthermore, he had acquired two of the three major influential families in Feng Du. Just this immense financial power alone was something they couldn't contend with!
"Uncle Zhou, I am passing the position of family head to you. The head of the Zhou family should still bear the surname Zhou."
Seeing everyone agree, Er Zhu nodded slightly. He turned to look at Zhou Mingcheng.
The Zhou family was merely an acquisition he made in passing. He naturally wouldn't take charge of it himself, especially since his revenge was not yet complete!
"Ah?" Zhou Mingcheng was stunned, so shocked he thought he had misheard. But the other members of the Zhou family cast envious glances at him.
Mr. Wang was actually passing the position of family head to Zhou Mingcheng!
That was an asset worth tens of billions, and he had given it away so easily!
Everyone looked at Er Zhu with sparkling eyes, as if they wanted to devour him!
"I don't have the time to manage such a small aristocratic family. You can manage it, and just inform me of any major issues."
Er Zhu narrowed his eyes and spoke calmly. Hearing this, the Zhou family was even more shocked.
Small aristocratic family?
Mr. Wang actually referred to their family, with assets worth tens of billions, as a "small aristocratic family"!
Then what would a "large aristocratic family" be?
A top-tier influential family?
Hearing this, they finally understood. The aristocratic family they prided themselves on was, in the eyes of these super-powerful figures, nothing more than ants...
"Oh, alright. Mr. Wang, please rest assured, I will manage the Zhou family well and won't cause you any trouble!"
At this moment, Zhou Mingcheng finally came to his senses. He bowed respectfully to Er Zhu, his eyes filled with gratitude and admiration.
Logically, he was over thirty years older than Er Zhu, and should not have admired such a young man. Yet, Er Zhu's strength truly commanded his respect!
No wonder the three daughters, Elder Fang, and Governor Lu had all come to help. This young man was truly powerful!
Zhou Mingcheng looked at Er Zhu with a smile. After this incident, he admired Er Zhu even more, and consequently, felt an even greater urgency to find his second daughter.
"Alright, everyone, you may leave now."
Seeing Zhou Mingcheng nod, Er Zhu waved his hand at the others. Although the Zhou family members were reluctant, no one dared to object.
After the Zhou family left, only Er Zhu and his companions remained in the spacious living room. They sat around the round table, enjoying drinks and conversation, a lively scene.
After several rounds of drinks and a satisfying meal, the three daughters and Elder Fang gradually departed. Li Mingsheng and Lu Yucheng, however, had already gotten drunk. Zhou Mingcheng instructed the servants to escort Li Mingsheng to a guest room, and Li Mei returned to her hotel. Only Er Zhu and the Zhou Mingcheng father and daughter remained in the living room.
"Mr. Wang, I have something to ask of you. Please, I beg you, help me."
Zhou Mingcheng took a deep breath and knelt respectfully before Er Zhu, pleading earnestly.
Who could have imagined that the dignified head of the Zhou family would kneel to beg for help, and from such a young man!
"Mr. Wang, this matter is of utmost importance to our family. Please help us."
Seeing that Er Zhu remained silent, Zhou Ling quickly knelt beside her father, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Please get up and speak."
Er Zhu slowly raised his hand. He saw the infant in Zhou Mingcheng's heart again and recalled the theft at the hotel. He had a rough idea of what was happening.
Hearing Er Zhu's words, Zhou Ling helped her father up. They began to speak, one after another.
"Mr. Wang, for the past twenty years, we have been searching for my sister, but we have never found her. With your vast connections, only you can help us!"
"As long as you help us, once we find her, I will immediately arrange for her to marry you!"
As soon as Zhou Ling finished speaking, Zhou Mingcheng nodded repeatedly and added. However, after speaking, he suddenly realized he might have said the wrong thing.
"Mr. Wang, I didn't mean it that way. It's just that I have nothing else to give you. I only have this one daughter!"
Zhou Mingcheng quickly explained, watching Er Zhu's expression warily, afraid of angering him.
Er Zhu was not only the Zhou family's reliance, but also his only hope of finding his daughter. He couldn't afford to offend him!
"Mm, it's alright. I will help with the Second Miss's matter."
Er Zhu was naturally not angry. As he spoke, he dialed Li Mingsheng and Wang Xu. Without hesitation, they immediately opened a case for investigation. The next day, the three daughters and Elder Fang, having somehow received the news, each dispatched bodyguards to help Er Zhu search for the person.
After having breakfast at the Zhou family's residence, Er Zhu proceeded to the Bai family's mansion, where the place was already packed with people.
News of Bai Wensheng's arrest had spread, but the people who came today were not here to take over the Bai family, but to watch the spectacle.
It wasn't that they didn't want to take over, but they couldn't afford it even at the lowest prices...
After all, they were merely second-tier influential families.
Er Zhu scanned everyone present and directly sat on the sofa. Looking at the opulent surroundings, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Father, Mother, Grandfather, do you see? Are you satisfied with the Bai family's fate?
Er Zhu had originally intended to exterminate the entire Bai family, but he was not a bloodthirsty killer. Thus, he decided to seek revenge through commercial means.
"Get lost. Only those participating in the auction are qualified to sit on the sofa. You poor wretch, go to the back."
Just then, a mocking voice rang out. Er Zhu looked up and saw a seductive woman cast a disdainful glance at him.
