Xie Yu was not useless either.
She had always helped manage household and company affairs.
So, she quickly tallied the losses and had everyone gather at the entrance of the room.
Although the Xie family head was physically fine, he had fainted earlier and was still very weak.
Therefore, he could only sit in a chair and hold a meeting with everyone.
Most of the Xie family members who could still move had gathered.
The martial artists from both the Zhu and Xie families had all sustained injuries of varying degrees.
They could only rest in the side courtyard at the moment and were unable to move.
Looking at the sparse crowd,
The Xie family head couldn't help but sigh.
"This battle against the Shi family has truly crippled us!"
Fortunately, they had won, otherwise it wouldn't just be so many injured.
It was likely that both families would have been wiped out!
The Xie family head had always felt that the Shi family was particularly sinister.
Not only did they act without any principles, but they were also extremely venomous.
Now, the Xie family head was grateful that he had foreseen this and prepared early!
Who would have thought that the Shi family would actually choose to cooperate with the notorious Shadow Organization?
Two rats from the same gutter, they were a perfect match.
"Dad, all of our family members who are still alive and uninjured are here," Xie Yu stepped forward to report.
Then, Zhu Ling'er also spoke, "The Zhu family members are also here."
That's right, although this was a Xie family meeting.
Nowadays, the Zhu and Xie families were on the same boat.
The meeting would naturally be held together!
The Xie family head nodded, then turned to Zhou Yu and asked, "Divine Doctor Zhou, did Commander Leng say why the Dragon Group was so late?"
It was precisely because the Dragon Group arrived so late that the Zhu and Xie families had such a difficult time!
But the Xie family head was worried that the Dragon Group might have encountered trouble halfway...
"I don't know either. Leng Xue said she would give us an explanation later. We'll see then."
Zhou Yu pursed his lips.
Although he didn't get along with Leng Xue, Zhou Yu knew that Leng Xue was by no means a person who would break her promises.
It was even less likely that she would let the Zhu and Xie families be exhausted before making a move.
It was likely that the Dragon Group had its own difficulties.
It all depended on how Leng Xue would explain it later!
The Xie family head didn't dwell on this issue. After nodding, he continued to ask, "How many martial artists do we have left in our family?"
"Twenty injured, thirty fallen, and we have... a little over twenty remaining!" Xie Yu reported the numbers with grief.
Behind the cold numbers were living people!
These martial artists had sacrificed their lives to protect the Xie family!
The Xie family head's eyes were a little red.
He held Xie Yu's hand and said seriously, "Contact their families. Compensate them as you should. Don't be negligent!"
Xie Yu nodded.
Actually.
During the chaos earlier, those martial artists could have escaped on their own.
After all, they were just retainers of the Xie family.
To put it bluntly, they were paid to do a job.
There was no need to risk their lives!
But they had held on and fought until the last moment.
The Xie family would remember this kindness.
"On the Zhu family's side, there are over 40 martial artists lost in battle..." Zhu Ling'er said heavily.
Unlike the Xie family.
The martial artists who participated in the battle for the Zhu family were mostly from the collateral branches of the Zhu family.
Although distant, the blood relation was real!
After Zhu Ling'er tallied the battle losses, she felt dizzy...
"You've all worked hard," the Xie family head's lips moved, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Zhu Ling'er felt a tightness in her eyes, a feeling of wanting to cry.
Seeing everyone's somber mood,
Zhou Yu was silent for a moment and took the initiative to speak, "After the Zhu family head and the old man wake up, we can discuss how to divide the Shi family."
"For now, the Xie family head should send people over to take over the Shi family!"
As one of the three major families in Jiangnan City, the Shi family.
And with such deep roots.
Once it fell, it would be a large piece of fat!
While the Shi family had just been defeated and the news had not leaked,
They had to quickly take over everything from the Shi family.
To prevent others from taking advantage.
The Zhu and Xie families had been immersed in the despair of their losses.
Hearing Zhou Yu's reminder, they suddenly remembered.
That's right.
The Shi family was obtained at the cost of so many lives.
They absolutely could not let others get there first!
The Xie family head asked Xie Yu and Zhu Ling'er to go to the Shi family to take over.
After thinking for a moment, he also asked Zhou Yu to accompany them.
"Now that the old man and the two of them are out of danger and just need to rest well, I trouble Divine Doctor Zhou to go with them."
"If there's anything you can't decide, just take it for now, and we'll discuss it later!"
Zhou Yu nodded.
He also knew that the Xie family head's move was to prevent the Zhu family from feeling dissatisfied.
If only Xie Yu went, it might seem like they were trying to embezzle.
But if both of them went, what if they argued if they disagreed?
With Zhou Yu present, they would be more amicable!
What's more, Zhou Yu was more astute than Xie Yu and Zhu Ling'er.
If anything happened during the takeover, Zhou Yu could make decisions on behalf of both the Zhu and Xie families.
In less than a moment.
Zhou Yu, along with Xie Yu and Zhu Ling'er, arrived at the entrance of the Shi family.
At this moment.
The entire Shi family was in chaos!
The news of the Shi family head being arrested, somehow, had spread back.
Everyone was packing their valuables and preparing to flee.
And Shi Lifeng, looking at the chaotic servants and retainers, felt dizzy.
"No... impossible, you must be lying!"
Shi Lifeng held a fruit knife to the throat of the messenger.
Her eyes blazed with a palpable flame!
The Shi family head had set out with a hundred top martial artists.
It was more than enough to deal with the Zhu and Xie families, how could he have failed!
In any case, Shi Lifeng absolutely did not believe it!
"Miss, I'm telling the truth!"
"The family head has been arrested by the Dragon Group..."
The messenger cried with a mournful face.
If it weren't for the reward money, he wouldn't have come to court death!
Who knew that this Shi Lifeng, who looked so pleasant on the surface, was actually crazy!
Instead of speaking kindly, she wanted to kill someone. .oγg
As soon as Shi Lifeng heard about the Dragon Group, her eyes went blank, and she stumbled back a step.
Her vacant eyes looked up and saw the trio led by Zhou Yu.
Instantly.
New and old grudges surged into her heart!
Shi Lifeng walked up to Zhou Yu in three steps and raised her hand.
Slap—
Shi Lifeng was slapped!
Zhu Ling'er shook her palm and said disdainfully, "You think you can touch Divine Doctor Zhou?"
Shi Lifeng let out a harsh laugh from her throat.
Her eyes were like they were poisoned, and she stared fiercely at Zhou Yu.
She cursed loudly, "Zhou Yu, you devil!"
"You've harmed so many people, you'll go to hell sooner or later!"
Zhou Yu picked his ears, looking at Shi Lifeng with a half-smile, his eyes full of mockery.
As if looking at a clown!
