"Mr. Jiang."

He Chonggang raised his hand in a fist salute and performed a ceremony towards Jiang Chen.

He was well aware that although Elder Bai and Elder Hei had higher realms of power and seemingly higher status than Jiang Chen, among them, Jiang Chen was the leader!

Jiang Chen glanced at He Chonggang and the three others, his gaze settling on He Zheng and He Xiaoxiao's faces.

At this moment, He Zheng and his sister were in tears. Although they disliked He Yaoyang and even harbored some hatred towards him in their hearts, after all, he was their father!

"Little Zheng," Jiang Chen called out softly.

He Zheng wiped away his tears and forced a smile. "Big brother, this isn't your fault. Moreover, you didn't kill my father. He... he had gone astray. And he must have regretted taking that path. Now, to die alongside that despicable woman Wang Ruyi, he should be happy. This, for him, is also a release!"

"I'm not talking about that. I want to ask, if I entrust the Haojiang He Family's business to you, with Miss Xiaoxiao's assistance, can you handle it? Can you maintain Haojiang's situation without it being eroded by those with ulterior motives?" Jiang Chen spoke softly.

"Ah!?"

He Zheng was stunned, looking at Jiang Chen in surprise.

He Chonggang, He Xiaoxiao, and Mu Wantao were all looking at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

"Mr. Jiang, you— you would still allow our He Family to control the commerce of Haojiang?" He Chonggang asked incredulously.

Jiang Chen gave He Chonggang a glance, ignoring him as he stared intently at He Zheng.

Feeling Jiang Chen's gaze, a warmth surged in He Zheng's heart, filled with the sensation of being trusted, exceptionally warm.

This moment was the most moving one in over a decade for him!

"Big brother, although I don't know what 'erosion' you're referring to, and I can't guarantee that I can forever protect Haojiang from being eroded, I dare to promise that if anyone tries to erode Haojiang, they'll have to step over my dead body!" He Zheng spoke earnestly.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "Not knowing what erosion means yet daring to make such a promise, you truly are brothers, just as unreliable as Qiangqiang! Come on, let's not hover here any longer, let's go ashore and talk!"

Whoosh!

As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, he turned and leapt towards the distant beach. Although Venerable Realm powerhouses could achieve low-level flight, they still couldn't maintain it indefinitely.

Yan Hu and others didn't say anything, including Elder Bai and Elder Hei, no one objected and they all followed Jiang Chen towards the shore.

Mu Wantao and He Chonggang exchanged glances, both showing a hint of surprise and relief in their eyes as they moved their Inner Qi and followed him.

He Zheng and He Xiaoxiao were being held up by Mu Wantao, not needing to fly themselves; they were quietly talking at this time.

"Sis, what does Mr. Jiang mean by that?" He Zheng looked utterly confused.

He Xiaoxiao smiled faintly, touched He Zheng's head lightly: "Mr. Jiang sees you as Lou Qiangqiang, which means he trusts you!"

"I see."

He Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, his face lightening with a smile: "If Mr. Jiang trusts me, it's okay to be unreliable!"

Everyone landed on the beach and sat together in a circle.

Jiang Chen, without any unnecessary talk, stared straight at He Chonggang and seriously said: "Mr. He, I want all the pharmaceutical companies and all the import and export channels in Haojiang, and there is no room for negotiation!"

"Agreed!"

"I will take care of gathering all the pharmaceutical companies and import and export channels. Haojiang is surrounded by the sea on four sides, and there are countless hidden import and export channels. Once I gather them, I will list the details and hand them over to the person in charge of Yi Chen Group in Haojiang!"

In a solemn tone, He Chonggang took on the most troublesome task to show his sincerity. This way, it spared Jiang Chen the trouble of acquiring the pharmaceutical companies and import and export channels not controlled by the He Family.

"Good!"

Jiang Chen nodded lightly and then reminded, "Not only must it be handed over to the person in charge from Yi Chen, but a copy must also be given to the Flame Dragon Group. The Flame Dragon Group and Yi Chen will jointly verify this information to achieve absolute complete control!"

He Chonggang was slightly stunned, glanced at Elder Bai and Elder Hei, frowned slightly, and confusedly said: "Mr. Jiang, why do I feel... Your acquisition of the pharmaceutical companies and import/export channels isn't just for business?"

"Haha! Mr. He, do you really think my relationship with the Flame Dragon Group is so good that I would use them to snatch commercial industries?" Jiang Chen smiled with a hint of mockery.

Elder Hei solemnly said, "Mr. He, Family Head, you misunderstand. Our Flame Dragon Group only does things to protect the Flame Dragon; we will not become mercenaries for anyone's business competition, no matter how good the relationship!"

"This... protect the Flame Dragon?!"

He Chonggang was startled, his eyes widened in shock as he stared dumbfounded at Jiang Chen.

Mu Wantao, He Zheng, and He Xiaoxiao were all shocked at the same time, wondering if Mr. Jiang's acquisition of the pharmaceutical companies and import/export channels was to protect the Flame Dragon? What exactly is going on?!

"I know everyone has doubts, but it's inconvenient for me to explain why right now!"

Jiang Chen solemnly stated: "What I can tell you is that the control of the pharmaceutical companies and import/export channels relates to whether our Flame Dragon will face the risk of annihilation. It is for this reason that the Flame Dragon Group strongly supports my acquisition. It's not that they can't do it themselves, it's just that it's inappropriate for them to do so!"

"I understand now!"

He Chonggang nodded deeply, feeling a sense of relief. He was relieved that he didn't reject Jiang Chen's earlier demand for the pharmaceutical companies and import/export channels; otherwise, that would have meant opposing the entire Flame Dragon!

"Mr. He, you need to take good care of He Zheng. He is the key to my temporary trust in the He Family."

Jiang Chen glanced at He Zheng, then softly reminded He Chonggang: "I can tell you clearly, if it were not for the relationship between He Zheng and Qiangqiang, your He Family would definitely not be allowed to stay in Haojiang, as you have too much control over Haojiang's business. If it weren't for this relationship, no matter how difficult, I would have forcibly driven your He Family out of Haojiang!"

"Mr. Jiang, he's my only grandson, and he and Xiaoxiao are my old life's treasures. I will definitely ensure their safety!" He Chonggang showed a hint of sadness in his eyes, gently patting He Zheng and He Xiaoxiao on their heads.

Jiang Chen was silent for a moment, then added, "I also want to remind you that the Gene Organization, the Soul Devour Group, and the Dark Church, these three major global terror organizations, will definitely try by all means to target the pharmaceutical companies and import/export channels, infiltrating Haojiang without scruples. Moreover, we can't predict what methods they will use. This is a very dangerous piece of information for you!"

"Mr. Jiang, your acquisition of the pharmaceutical companies and control of import/export channels is for..." He Chonggang's expression changed, he guessed quietly.
