Duan Qirui saw the law enforcement officers outside the door and didn't expect that Li Feng would be so ruthless.

But he wasn't stupid enough to resist law enforcement.

"Mr. Chen, you should go with them first and cooperate well. I won't just stand by regarding your situation."

Chen Kaixuan knew resisting law enforcement was impossible; he just wanted to see the other's attitude. He was now a stripped phoenix.

First, the bribery scandal was exposed, then his wife fled abroad with their money, and the factory was set ablaze. It was a complete mess, chaotic like a nightmare.

As for his network of connections, they were probably already distancing themselves the moment he got into trouble.

So his only hope now was Duan Qirui.

"Mr. Duan, you must help me. If Li Feng crushes me, no one in Huacheng will dare to cooperate with you."

Duan Qirui looked at Chen Kaixuan, who was threatening him, and coldly snorted with a solemn expression: "I don't need you to remind me what to do."

Chen Kaixuan said no more and left with the law enforcement officers.

In the suite's living room, after Chen Kaixuan was taken away, the atmosphere became considerably more tense.

"Mr. Duan, this Chen Kaixuan?"

"I'll get him out, but in the contest between Li Feng and me, Chen Kaixuan is just an insignificant pawn."

"Shoot the horse before the man, capture the king to catch the thief."

Duan Qirui spoke with a glint of cold light in his eyes.

"If Mr. Duan intends to target Li Feng, there aren't many points to target. Although Li Feng has swallowed many companies over the years, he barely involves himself in industrial management. He mostly packages and resells them."

"He only wants cash, which allowed him to integrate Huacheng's underground finance. Li Feng's pervasive influence in Huacheng mainly relies on the four major money houses."

"If we can take down the four major money houses under Li Feng, it would effectively sever his tentacles. With the loss of these money houses, Li Feng's influence in Huacheng will drop to rock bottom."

"And those family forces beholden to Li Feng will definitely turn against him. After all, with Li Feng's downfall, they wouldn't have to repay their debts. It's a profitable deal."

A general manager pondered for a moment and spoke.

"Mm."

A person nearby also nodded: "That's right, hit a snake at its vital spot. Li Feng's significant influence in Huacheng is mainly because he is the city's biggest underground financier."

"Li Feng uses these four major money houses to extend his influence throughout Huacheng's business world."

Hearing them speak, Duan Qirui nodded in agreement.

There is no conflict between having money and having power.

Having money often means having power.

Li Feng doesn't have much of a background, nor does he have a strong family backing, and as for connections, ha.

Excluding these factors, the only thing Li Feng can rely on is his wealth.

And he isn't just ordinarily wealthy.

After all, Century Group alone has a market value of over a trillion, and even the share that ends up in Li Feng's pocket is a huge fortune. Plus, he has long controlled Huacheng's underground finance.

The local family forces in Huacheng all show fear to Li Feng, suggesting he controls no small amount of money.

"What do you know about these four major money houses?"

"Huacheng's underground four money houses are Rongsheng, Rongxing, Wanlong, and Wanhe. These four are each run by four individuals: Wang Qian, Wang Xing, Wang Long, and Wang Sheng."

"Because all four share the surname Wang, they are known as Huacheng's Four Kings."

"That's right, the Four Kings share the same surname but have little connection and seldom contact each other. Usually, they each hold their own ground."

"Oh, tell me more."

Duan Qirui looked at the other party with great interest. If these four major money houses are under Li Feng, it would undoubtedly be easier to manage if they were consolidated under one. Yet, they are divided into four.

Though this allows for mutual checks and balances, Duan Qirui had more thoughts.

If these money houses are Li Feng's Achilles' heel, then the Huacheng Four Kings are the best breakthrough point.

"Hmm, we don't know much about the Four Kings either. There are just more rumors. Among the Four Kings, the most arrogant is Wanhe's manager, Wang Qian."

"This is the same fat guy who was just following Li Feng."

Duan Qirui's mind conjured up the image of Wang Qian's arrogant and overbearing manner. Wang Qian was the one who had dealt with Chen Kaixuan earlier, leaving the impression of a cunning, arrogant, but highly capable fat man.

"Wang Qian is very good at ingratiating himself, practically Li Feng's most capable lackey. Whether big or small matters, you could see him rushing to serve."

"Mm."

Duan Qirui nodded; from what he knew of Wang Qian, this definitely fit the fat man.

"And the other three?"

"The other three, Wang Xing, used to be a thug under a loan shark figure in Huacheng. Later, that figure's business was swallowed by Li Feng, and Wang Xing followed him."

"Relying on his former prestige and means, Wang Xing quickly integrated resources to set up Longxing. Nowadays, he still thrives in the shadows, like running casinos."

"As for Wang Long and Wang Sheng, they are brothers, actual siblings. Their backgrounds are a bit vague, as the money houses they lead, while called money houses, don't really engage in lending but are mainly focused on investment."

"The two brothers seldom appear in Huacheng. Few have interacted with them, knowing of their existence but not much else about them."

The general manager paused to say.

"Mm, I met Wang Long once at a cocktail party. He appeared very young but without the impulsiveness of youth, came across as a sly fox hiding his true nature."

"As for Wang Sheng, I've never met him."

Duan Qirui tapped his fingers on the armrest, processing the information from the others: "Huacheng's four major money houses, the Four Kings."

Duan Qirui began calculating his plan against Li Feng.

If you want to strike a snake, hit its vital spot; these four major money houses are the primary targets, but beyond them, Li Feng himself is also a target.

After all, Li Feng is the head.

"You all can go back now; I'll contact you if there's a need."

They exchanged glances, stood up to bid farewell to Duan Qirui, and left the room without saying more.

"Alas, who knows if opposing Li Feng is right or wrong."

"Hmm, do we even have a choice?"

"If we offend Li Feng, we might die, but if we offend Duan Qirui and the Longevity Sect behind him, we'd be bankrupt and jumping off buildings now. Do you think the Longevity Sect is so easily trifled with?"

"Also, the Longevity Sect's power extends across several provinces, while Li Feng is nothing more than a local tyrant at best."

"Now with no local family support in Huacheng, his only reliance is money, but sometimes, having power is better than having money."

"Regardless of who wins, there'll be no good outcome for us. Let's head back; Li Feng probably knows our choice and will soon retaliate."

They sighed and hurriedly left.
