Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1729: Chapter 1763: Every Man for Himself, Heaven and Earth Destroy the Selfless

Nolan Emperor’s eyes showed helplessness as he glanced at his father, feeling that things had changed. It seemed different from what they’d initially predicted.

The plan was to support Hai Zhilan to establish authority in the family, yet now Hai Lanxin had become the focal figure.

With reluctance, now it was a matter of their family, and no one could intervene much. With Hai Wuyan dead, any further chaos would benefit no one. Nolan He had no choice but to leave the Hai Mansion with all family members.

All of Hai Wuyan’s supporters before his death had also scattered like monkeys fleeing a fallen tree. Tonight, Hai Lanxin established authority over the family, seizing power. The major event was settled, and everyone knew things couldn’t be changed.

The most frustrated was Hai Zhilan. He had no idea what the fuss was for, yet it made his sister the one endorsed by the family...

......

The next day, after Lin Zifeng received the news from Hai Zhilan and Nolan He, he immediately sought out Nolan He to discuss the matter.

Nolan He, aged and wise, had a clearer understanding of these matters than he did.

”Senior Nolan, what’s your view on this matter? Could you share your thoughts?” Lin Zifeng asked while drinking at a table in a secret chamber with Nolan He.

Lin Zifeng didn’t hesitate and directly expressed his inner thoughts.

Nolan He frowned, sighed heavily, and said, ”To be honest with you, Young Lin, I also find this matter a bit strange. Last night, Hai Lanxin’s actions were quite compelling.”

”I’ve checked, the information of those two Law Enforcement Elders in the Hai Family. These two held a high status in the family, responsible for enforcing the law. From what happened last night, it’s clear these two were inclined towards Hai Lanxin. Hai Wuyan’s death seemed as insignificant as that of a small cat or dog, yet no one intervened significantly. It’s quite strange indeed.”

”Oh? So, does that mean Hai Lanxin, who has always been gentle and performed well within the family, is the real BOSS? This woman has endured for long, waiting for this day to come?” Lin Zifeng is no fool. Last night, when Hai Lanxin built momentum and established authority in the family, Lin Zifeng immediately sensed something was wrong.

It means that a woman who used to perform extremely well in the family, someone who was very quiet and loved her brother Hai Zhilan so much, suddenly established authority within the family, raising suspicions. Maybe Hai Lanxin is the truly formidable person in the Hai Family!

To seize the position of Family Head, she would stop at nothing, enduring in silence step by step, and when the opportunity comes, she reveals her true colors.

”That’s my guess as well. Today I received news that all supporters of Hai Wuyan in the Hai Family have been incriminated by Hai Lanxin, currently being sentenced within the family. Once these people are removed, it is likely Hai Lanxin will be the ultimate leader of the fallen Hai Family.”

”Collected so much dirt on others?” Lin Zifeng was taken aback. What does that imply?

Could it be that Hai Lanxin has secretly been collecting dirt on everyone related to Hai Wuyan to incriminate them all at once, which would simultaneously eliminate internal factions and establish authority in the family? This woman is ruthless.

”So, everything we’ve done this time has benefited this woman?” Lin Zifeng smiled bitterly.

Nolan He nodded in frustration.

Indeed, it has all benefited Hai Lanxin.

Confirming his thoughts, Lin Zifeng did not stay at Nolan Mansion. He immediately went to find Hai Zhilan.

Having just experienced a heart-wrenching mental struggle, Hai Zhilan wasn’t in a good mood upon seeing Lin Zifeng again.

”Brother Lin, Hai Wuyan is already dead, and now the entire Hai Family is mine!”

”No! The Hai Family is not yours yet.” Lin Zifeng said calmly.

”Not mine? Why? Isn’t Hai Wuyan already dead? Even his supporters have been convicted. Who else in the Hai Family is more suitable for the position of Family Head besides me?”

Hai Zhilan still couldn’t grasp the meaning of Lin Zifeng’s words.

”Who convicted the remnants supporting Hai Wuyan?” Lin Zifeng asked.

”My sister, Hai Lanxin!”

Hai Zhilan answered almost without hesitation.

”Good, then let me ask you, between you and your sister Hai Lanxin, who has more influence in the family now?”

”My sister, the two Law Enforcement Elders of the family have a good relationship with her. As long as she commands, no one in the family dares defy her.”

”So, what is your status or rank in the family?” Lin Zifeng shook his head, asking again.

Then, he nonchalantly sipped his coffee. This café had become their favorite meeting spot.

Faced with Lin Zifeng’s question, Hai Zhilan was completely disheartened.

In terms of who held the most power in the family, it was Hai Lanxin.

In terms of who had the most influence in the family, it was again Hai Lanxin.

Now considering his own family status, there was no increase; it was still Hai Lanxin. This realization left a bitter taste for Hai Zhilan.

His sister had once told him she wouldn’t fight for the position of Family Head, and now? The power she held was practically identical to that of the Family Head.

This made Hai Zhilan start to doubt the promises his sister had made before. As Lin Zifeng fanned the flames and Hai Zhilan became convinced of one thing when his mind was unstable, everything his sister did was for herself, not considering him as her real brother.

In the pursuit of power, for the sake of one’s own future, humans are inherently self-serving.

Pushed to the brink, he even wanted to overthrow his sister.

”Zhilan, ’Each for his own,’, you probably understand this concept better than I?” Lin Zifeng intentionally leaned his head closer, uttering each word so deliberately that the phrase ’Each for his own,’ echoed in Hai Zhilan’s mind.

Wasn’t he precisely the one who killed an Elder and destroyed his brother for his own sake?

”Brother Lin, I understand.” Hai Zhilan nodded, his eyes revealing a deep, cold, vicious gleam, gritting his teeth and hissing, ”Hai Lanxin! I did everything for you; I never imagined you were pretending all these years, worse inside than anyone. This time, let’s see how I, Hai Zhilan, deal with you!”

Lin Zifeng nodded in satisfaction, then soothed him for a few minutes before leaving.

Meanwhile, Hai Zhilan was completely overwhelmed by interest, and his sister’s actions this time were somewhat disheartening. Hai Zhilan also began to secretly plot how to bring his sister down.

After leaving the café, Lin Zifeng didn’t go anywhere. He had been too busy lately, never visiting the Huayu Group’s recording studio, let alone the new drama preparation site, and was unaware of the recent selection of artists for production.

Now, the direction of Huayu Group was different from before. It used to focus solely on the productions led by Huahua and Tangtang. Now, Huayu Group had adopted a different model.

It was moving towards an entertainment avenue utilizing television drama formats, which was no less influential than movies and required a smaller investment.

Moving step by step towards the entertainment sector, as Zhang Xixi said, Huayu Group was also putting great effort into website development. They aimed to create a website and app as impressive as Tencent’s.
