CHAPTER 721 THE BIG CHESS GAME OF THE NORTH

How did Donghai suddenly rise to become a forbidden territory? How did Lin Group, a company on the verge of bankruptcy, suddenly rise up in Donghai and become a company that was strong enough to fight against Linglong Group?

It was clear that the Long family was backing Lin Group and using it to get rid of all their rivals forthem!

If anyone still couldn't see this clearly now, then they must be stupid.

The Long family really played a good game this time round!

"What are we going to do now?”

The heads of the six powerful families looked at each other. They had to do something. If the Long family wanted to attack them, they couldn't just sit around and wait to die.

Impossible.

How many generations of hard work, effort, resources and money had it taken for their families to survive thus far and become a second tier family?

This wasn't something they were willing to give up easily.

Especially for these six who were about to reach the first tier. They could only advance and could not afford to move backwards at all.

"Even a rabbit bites back when provoked! So what if they're a supremely powerful family?" one of them scoffed loudly. "Even the supremely powerful families aren't friends with one another, right?"

What he was trying to say was that they should seek protection.

If the waters of the north were going to be stirred up, it would bring a lot of risks, but it would also present many opportunities.

All of them looked at one another and reached a decision. At a precarious time like this, they had to unite and move as one in order to survive this ordeal.

It wasn't just them. There were people moving around secretly all over the north.

The information they had was classified and came out from an extremely well hidden channel, so nobody could prove that this information was real. But at the same time, nobody could prove that it was false either.

All of the powerful families, regardless of whether they were third tier, second tier, even first tier and even the supremely powerful ones were at their highest level of alertness when they found out about this.

Even though nobody talked about this openly, everyone knew that there was no smoke without fire.

The atmosphere in the north was instantly different from before.

Almost everyone's attention was on the Long family. They were carefully watching everything the Long family did, including Long Ling'er.

Over at Linglong Group.

Long Ling'er stood in front of the window wall. She never expected things to turn out like this.

The unexpected change in the situation made the Long family the center of the whirlpool all of a sudden.

"Is Jiang Ning behind this?" Long Ling'er frowned. "That's impossible. He wouldn't have the power to go through that sort of classified channel. The only people with access to that channel are the supremely powerful families."

"The Jiang family?" She shook her head again. "That's out of the question. Father and son are enemies and get angry when they see each other. And why would the Jiang family do such a thing anyway?"

Even Long Ling'er wasn't sure who could have done something like this.

Now everyone out there thought that the Long family was behind this and they were trying to get rid of their opponents.

This was bad news.

RIIIING...

Long Ling'er's phone rang. She looked at the caller and frowned slightly as she picked it up quickly. owns all © content.

"Dad."

"Where are you? Come home now."

Long Xiang's voice sounded a little stuffy and fairly stern. He hung up immediately after saying those two sentences.

It was clear that this information wasn't a good sign to the Long family either.

Out of all the supremely powerful families, the Long family had amassed the greatest amount of power. That was because the one in control of this huge corporation, Linglong Group, was Long Ling'er, a member of the Long family.

Long Ling'er didn't hesitate and went back to the Long house immediately.

The head of the Long family, Long Xiang, as well as all the important members of the family were all present in the hall.

Long Ling'er only saw these other family members at their annual ancestral rituals. Since they were all gathered here today, things had gotten even more serious than she had imagined.

"Sit." Long Xiang glanced at his daughter.

Long Ling'er didn't say anything and sat at her allocated seat. Many of them looked towards her. She nodded slightly and that was enough as a greeting.

"Everyone," Long Xiang looked around at everyone and his voice was solemn. "I'm sure you've heard the news that leaked this morning."

Everyone present had a stern expression on their faces and they all nodded slightly.

"This big chess game of the north has been set!"
