Shen Lan Ni, a disciple of Yun Qing He, had a deep understanding of human acupoints. Upon hearing this, she immediately understood the reason for Gou Zi's unusual reaction and said,
"It's fine, I can also inject true qi for you."
"Wait, wait a moment," Ren Yuan Hao waved his hand. "It's fine, my true qi is abundant. Your true qi might be useful at a critical moment, so let me do it."
Gou Zi didn't dare to look up, only pointing at the screen with its paw.
"You think too highly of yourself. This kind of thing must be done by me."
Shen Lan Ni's face flushed slightly, her expression one of absolute refusal to compromise or back down.
"What do you mean by 'you think too highly of yourself'? It's just losing a bit of true qi, I really don't understand what you're thinking?"
As soon as Ren Yuan Hao finished speaking, Gou Zi tugged at his trouser leg. Ren Yuan Hao picked up his phone and, after looking at the content, his face immediately turned red, like someone who had done something wrong, as he looked at Shen Lan Ni.
"Uh, this matter, it really has to be done by you~"
But at this moment, Gou Zi lowered its head and tugged at Ren Yuan Hao's trouser leg again.
'No, the injected true qi must be infused with Yang energy. Yin energy will only prolong the effect of the special ability, and furthermore, both parties must be completely open with each other~'
—What the hell? What does 'completely open with each other' mean?
Ren Yuan Hao stared at the screen, completely bewildered, then looked at Gou Zi pressing its head even lower, and then at the other three women's faces which looked like they could devour someone, and immediately understood something.
"Uh~ Dongfang Jing, how much longer will your special ability last?"
'Until 8 PM~'
—What the hell, by then, it might be too late to do anything.
Ren Yuan Hao clearly read the words 'absolutely not' from the expressions of the three women, which put him in a difficult position.
The atmosphere in the room became somewhat silent and awkward. Just then, Ye Lan suddenly said, "That's right, Yuan Hao, aren't you on good terms with the Ouyang and Xia families? And the Xia family is one of the victims, so it should be easy to persuade them. As for the Ouyang family, it might take some effort. And the Mo family, which already has marital ties with the Ji family, wouldn't just stand by and do nothing, would they?"
When she mentioned the Mo family, her expression was still not good. Seeing Ren Yuan Hao looking at her swollen face, she lowered her head even lower, afraid that he would be blinded by hatred.
However, after experiencing so many things, Ren Yuan Hao was no longer the 'accountant' who only knew how to do accounts with Kingsoft software.
In a person's life, at least two women will teach them many things. The first is their mother, and the second is the woman who dies for you.
"Yes, I can try to persuade them, but what about the families under the four great families? How should they be persuaded? Or, if the four families join forces, won't that be enough power to resist?"
Gou Zi whimpered softly twice, its paws constantly dancing on the screen.
'The Dongfang family, plus the Chi Xiao Sect, I don't think the situation is very optimistic. Even if all the great families in Yunjin City are mobilized, it's probably still the same. Moreover, the Sky Fortress itself is an absolute defense, fully equipped with various weapons and facilities. The possibility of attacking it is no less than attacking a city.'
"That's not necessarily true. What if I can paralyze all the facilities of the Sky Fortress?"
As soon as he said this, Gou Zi was startled for a moment, then rolled over on its back as if laughing heartily. But when its eyes looked up, it suddenly realized four malicious gazes, so it dejectedly retracted its movements and then carefully tapped on the screen.
'How is that possible? The Sky Fortress is backed by a strict and complete data terminal called 'The Net' and super powerful cloud computers. Paralyzing the equipment is not a small feat.'
"Sorry, I'm afraid this time your Dongfang family's network, under the 'guidance' of the great god Ye Lan, will probably become a spider web covered with dew."
Ren Yuan Hao had absolute confidence in Ye Lan's hacking skills, and Ye Lan immediately responded with practical action, turning around and disappearing into her room to start the intense work mode.
Gou Zi was half-believing, half-doubting, and tapped on the screen with its paws again.
'If 'The Net' is breached and the Sky Fortress's facilities are paralyzed, combined with the alliance of the four great families, there might be a chance of winning. However, don't lay a hand on my sister then, she was also misled.'
Ren Yuan Hao snapped his fingers and quipped, "So, we don't need to 'be completely open with each other' now?"
"Cough, cough!"
Shen Lan Ni and Yang Ling Xue shot two gazes as sharp as cold blades.
...
With the plan initially set, Ren Yuan Hao covertly made his way between the Xia and Ouyang families.
Xia Xiaomo was also investigating the matter. When she heard Ren Yuan Hao's explanation, it coincided with some of the information she had investigated, so she immediately stated that the Xia family was willing to cooperate.
As for the Ouyang family, although they had a certain degree of trust in Ren Yuan Hao regarding Ouyang Rui's incident, dealing with the Dongfang clan was a matter of great importance and could even lead to the family's destruction. Therefore, they did not intend to join the clandestine war until the situation became clearer.
However, they had already stated that they would never do anything that would wrong Ren Yuan Hao, as Ren Yuan Hao was the only man Ouyang Rui had ever truly liked.
Just as Ren Yuan Hao was getting up to leave, Old Zhu walked in from outside the door at the opportune moment.
"Old Zhu." Ren Yuan Hao cupped his hands slightly and greeted Old Zhu.
"I apologize, I have heard everything you were discussing just now."
Old Zhu was not polite, he directly picked up the Longjing tea on the huanghuali wood desk and took a sip. "Good tea, but I wonder if, after tonight, you will still be able to sit here and enjoy tea and incense."
"Old Zhu, what do you mean?"
Ouyang Shuo slammed the table abruptly. The rising smoke was suddenly like severed silk, only to be reconnected again.
Old Zhu looked at the people present and then laughed heartily, "The Ouyang family ranks third. Is it because there are no young talents in the family, so a few old fellows who once stirred up storms are even more timid than me?"
He paused, ignoring Ouyang Shuo's sharp gaze, and took another sip of tea, saying, "Since the Dongfang clan has this plan, do you think that if Brother Ren and Dongfang Jing lose this battle, your Ouyang family can still survive? It's simply a dream!"
"If we participate, what are the benefits?" Ouyang Shuo was a businessman, and businessmen only cared about profit. They would not do things that had no profit, or meager profit, with great expenditure.
"Ouyang Shuo, Ouyang Shuo, you were once a decisive lion, but now your claws have been smoothed by the years. Think about it, once the Dongfang family loses power, from now on, the four great families will be on equal footing, contending with each other. Tell me, is this temptation still not great enough?"
