In the darkness of the night, Dragon's Mouth Mountain became more resplendent and brighter, and in Lin Beichen's eyes, the sins of the Long family became deeper.
For the sake of wealth, many people are deeply mired in the quagmire, unhesitatingly discarding humanity, taking risks, and casting themselves into Hell.
Some people make money to achieve a better life, while others do so to realize their dreams.
Human desires need to be controlled, otherwise, one's own desires will end up overshadowing others.
The Zheng Clan is a piece of fat meat, and for this piece, families big and small are making moves.
How innocent are the ordinary people, swept into the fray by these families, a moment's decision could lead to the ruin of family and loss of lives.
These prominent families, resembling behemoths, hold various chips in their hands, showing no mercy to each other, yet their struggles invariably inflict suffering on ordinary people.
Lin Beichen did not care about the slight damage to the interests of the Zheng Clan, he never regarded the Zheng Clan as worthy of attention, and he only wanted to do one thing.
He wanted to make these families on Xiang Island understand that even if he was gone, they still could not act recklessly.
With the Zheng Clan gone, there would never be another Zheng Clan.
Zheng Yaxin is just a little girl, and despite having her own aura, she still can't change the weakness of lacking experience.
Although Zheng Xinxi has changed slightly, in the end, he is still a worthless person, with weaknesses developed over decades that cannot be rectified in a day.
Old habits die hard, and moving a mountain is just as difficult, and behind these simple words lies the unchangeable weakness of human nature.
Not even death can change a person, so how can one expect the mere torments of life to reincarnate the soul of Zheng Xinxi?
Lin Beichen believed that from the moment Zheng Yaxin and Zheng Xinxi accepted the spokesman's role, betrayal was bound to appear within the Zheng Clan.
Although Zheng Yaxin and Zheng Xinxi both hold the right to inherit the family, the old man's sudden death, and furthermore, by Lin Beichen's hand, meant that their rebuilding of the Zheng Clan now represented Lin Beichen's interests.
The old man's circle was not included.
The old faction and the new faction looked down on each other, the new faction supported by Zheng Yaxin and Zheng Xinxi, and what does the old faction have?
They have nothing, but they have experience and brains.
The pillar of support for Zheng Yaxin and Zheng Xinxi is Lin Beichen, and the old faction looks for people who disdain Lin Beichen.
In this way, those people, in order to bring down Lin Beichen, would undoubtedly support them.
External strife gives Lin Beichen reasons to act, but for internal factional strife, on what grounds does Lin Beichen make a move?
Factional struggles in this world are a mix of you in me and me in you, and these old guys are extremely clever, how could they not handle two little kids?
Although Zheng Yaxin is uniting the family, she probably isn't of much use, unable to conquer the older members of the family.
"Will you be one of them?"
Lin Beichen quietly looked up at the Long family atop the hill, sighing softly.
The Long family, in the darkness, was holding a celebratory banquet, as if it were a festival or holiday, but today was just an ordinary day, and for the Long family, it certainly wasn't a festival.
Just two days ago, a Great Elder of the Long family died, dying of a heart attack, and no one knew why he suddenly fell ill, though there were rumors that he had a heated argument with the family before he died.
Some say it was about the family's path, others to stop the patriarch from doing something foolish, but in any case, it can no longer be verified.
The death of the Great Elder caused a huge stir within the clan, but the funeral was held very abruptly, and it was said that even the family didn't have time to see the body before it was cremated and buried directly.
Two days later, the Long family continued to celebrate, seeming to be celebrating the occurrence of certain events.
What are they celebrating?
Lin Beichen's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of his mouth suddenly revealed a strange smile.
"Have a few more drinks, because once tonight is over, the road to the Yellow Springs will be difficult to walk."
Lin Beichen silently looked at the night sky, stepping through the void, like an Immortal in the night, drifting toward the Long family.
The Long family is also one of the top ten families, their assets spanning multiple sectors such as finance and banking.
These fields are extremely sensitive to money and opportunities, so whenever something significant occurs, they are always the first to react, quickly snapping up a piece of the pie.
Any prominent family is bound to have someone who excels in a particular aspect.
Xiang Island's interests are not particularly large, it's just that the top ten families appear so frequently, intertwining to create a grand century-long drama, leading ordinary people to believe Xiang Island is overly bustling.
But in reality, true prominent families despise appearing in public, they even actively control the media, forbidding family news from surfacing in media interfaces.
Xiang Island is different.
In this land of wealth, everything that can be converted into money is given a price.
The top ten families compete with each other, creating numerous dramas while also seizing chunks of interests.
Yet, ordinary people on Xiang Island can only tremble, hiding in the shadows of the top ten families, willing to resist but to no avail.
In the courtyard of the Long family, the patriarch of this generation sat at the high seat, and the family descendants sat silently below, waiting for the elder to speak.
And behind the patriarch, there was another elder clad in a white robe.
