"The resources in your Lu family warehouse in Shanghai, they have also disappeared?" Hearing Lu Minghui's words over the phone, many of the high-ranking members of the Mie family turned to look, one of them questioning hurriedly.

"Let me check!" The man said, moving forward a few steps and reaching for the phone in Lu Minghui's hand.

The pupils of the Mie family leader contracted slightly.

The resources in both their families' warehouses had disappeared... Both families had plotted against Qingyun Company...

He was becoming increasingly convinced of his judgment...

"Lin Yun! It must be the force behind Lin Yun's actions!"

Soon, another senior member of the Mie family came to the same conclusion, quickly voicing his thoughts.

The other senior members of the Mie family nodded. This matter was too evident; they were not fools. At present, the likeliest suspect was the power behind Lin Yun.

"That Lin Yun, what audacity he has, to take so many resources from our warehouse!" An executive of the Mie family said angrily. In their view, it was unforgivable for anyone to plot against the Mie family, even though they themselves often schemed against others.

"The warehouse management companies in Shen City and Shanghai cannot escape culpability. We had many goods stored in those two warehouses. It's impossible they wouldn't have noticed the disappearance of so many items!" Yet another Mie family executive spoke quickly.

"I think the items didn't disappear overnight. It's unlikely that those warehouse management companies would have the guts to offend both the Lu family and Mie Family simultaneously. Such news, if it got out, would affect their business.

They might have been manipulated by Lin Yun's forces using some trickery or means without the warehouse management noticing..." One of the Mie family's executives said, shaking his head.

"Yes, the resources didn't disappear overnight. The power behind Lin Yun must have acted long before. Considering our Mie family's ship incident, Lin Yun's force could be behind it!" Another Mie family executive nodded in agreement, as he brought up the information about the accident involving their family's ship.

"That Lin Yun, he deserves to die!"

"The force behind Qingyun Company is a disaster! Unless they are eliminated, our two families will never rest easy!"

Soon, targeted accusations one after another against Lin Yun and his backing were made by the Mie family executives.

Listening to their discussions, Lu Minghui in the crowd also sank into thought.

This matter... It was likely the work of the force behind Qingyun Company...

It seemed like they, the Lu and Mie families, had really stirred up a hornet's nest this time.

The Mie family had already lost thirty billion's worth of supplies... The Lu family had started to lose eight billion's worth of supplies... This kind of powerful transport capacity was a testament to the complexity of the force behind Qingyun Company!

Who knows how much more they would lose in the future, they, the two great families!

Furthermore, their family members were now under restrictions... The family members had been restricted from travel for fear of the force behind Qingyun company retaliating.

A minimum of four Martial Arts Grandmasters... the power they represented was not negligible.

Just as one of the Mie family executives had said earlier, without removing the force behind Qingyun Company, their two great families would never rest.

However, removing four Martial Arts Grandmasters was no easy task, was it?

Should they not be able to eliminate even one of them, wouldn't it be like placing a sword above the heads of the members of their two families?

With these thoughts, Lu Minghui's mood grew even heavier.

"Family leader, Elder Wei from the Baji Sect has arrived..." At that moment, someone reported.

"What? Elder Wei from the Baji Sect is here? Quick! Please usher him in! No, I'll go greet him personally!" The Mie family leader exclaimed, his voice filled with joy.

Elder Wei Donglai from the Baji Sect was an extremely formidable figure in the martial arts world. Decades ago, he had reached the realm of Grandmaster Huajin, and now, he was in the late stages of the Huajin realm, one of the eminent figures in today's martial arts world.

He had heard that Elder Wei was visiting Kong Island recently, and as Kong Island was not far from Shen City, he had sent someone over to extend an invitation. But he wasn't particularly hopeful.

Even though both the Mie family and the Lu family had offered a sum of five hundred million to invite a Grandmaster in the late stages of Huajin to guard the Mie family for a month, they hadn't been able to secure anyone of that level.

Currently, the Mie family had only managed to secure one Grandmaster in the mid-Huajin realm, five in the early Huajin realm, and more of their strength was lent by their military forces. They thought that with their preparation and six Huajin Grandmasters, they should be able to deal with any move the force behind Qingyun Company might make, and might even capture them.

However, the recent event had caused minor anxiety. They began to suspect that they had underestimated Qingyun Company's strength once more.

Now, with Wei Donglai's arrival, the Mie family was indeed injected with a shot of confidence.

Common people might not understand, but the senior leaders of these great factions knew just how terrifying the strength of a Peak Grandmaster Huajin was.

The formidable ability to forecast danger, coupled with extraordinary physical strength, made ordinary firearms ineffective against them.

The fearsome strength allowed them to easily deal with early Grandmaster Huajins.

To their knowledge, the force behind Qingyun Company only had five Grandmaster Huajins, and one had already been killed. And those who remained, including the one who was killed, were all in the early stages of Huajin.

If the opposition truly showed up, Wei Donglai, a grandmaster in the late stage of the Huajin realm, would undoubtedly serve a significant role.

"Haha! The arrival of Master Wei has indeed brought honor to the Mie household..." Quickly spotting Wei Donglai outside, the Mie family leader went over joyfully, laughing out loud.

He was acquainted with Wei Donglai, a slightly pudgy elder with black hair, dressed in a clean grey robe, and only appearing to be in his sixties. The air about him was certainly out of the ordinary, but the Mie family leader knew that Wei Donglai was over eighty years old.

"Nice to see you again, head of the Mie family," Wei Donglai greeted, smiling.

Hands behind his back, he showed no intention of returning the courtesy, but he had the right qualifications.

"And who might these two be...?" Unperturbed, the Mie family leader turned to the young man and woman by Wei Donglai's side and asked, smiling.

Being able to occupy his current position, he certainly understood the various dynamics of human relationships. Relationships with people could often be fostered through their associates. These two youngsters standing beside Wei Donglai might share a special relationship with him.

"These are my two disciples, Zhong Nan and Yan Yun'er..." Wei Donglai said with a smile.

"Disciples Zhong Nan and Yan Yun'er send their greetings to the head of the Mie family," Both the youngsters bowed and greeted the Mie family leader ceremoniously.

Notably, the young man, Zhong Nan, though smiling, seemed arrogant. As for the young woman, Yan Yun'er, she presented herself dutifully. However, based on her constantly darting eyes, it was clear she was a quirky girl.
