Huang Zhen smiled with a chuckle. "The Eldest Miss makes a valid point. The Red Maple Hall was personally founded by that God of War of Jiangnan, and it will never take orders from anyone else.
Therefore, to prevent the Red Maple Hall from interfering in this matter, I took the opportunity when you stepped away earlier to arrange for Steward Feng and his men to leave in advance. In other words, no matter what happens here, the people from the Red Maple Hall will not come!
Surely you must have noticed that not a single member of the Red Maple Hall has been anywhere in the venue for a while now?"
Rong Meiyan quickly glanced around the room.
Sure enough, not a single member of the Red Maple Hall was to be seen!
Always composed, a flicker of shock finally surfaced in the depths of her eyes.
This Huang Zhen looked rough around the edges, yet his mind was so meticulously calculating!
Step by step, he had planned everything out in advance!
The other guests in the venue likewise noticed this detail just now, and a chill crept down everyone's spines!
So this was what a power struggle within a major family looked like?
Every contingency accounted for—it was terrifying!
