My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 861: Warning Zhang Jun Again

Chen Xuan sat there with a calm expression, exhaling a puff of smoke, "The terms have been set. If you want peace talks, you'll have to pay a price."

"Otherwise, it's off the table!"

Patriarch Xue snorted lightly, "We admit that even if the five-family alliance fights to the end, we won't gain anything; it will only lead to annihilation."

"But you must also understand what price your Zhang Family will pay if it comes to that! Even with the help of the Zhu Family, you would suffer damages!"

"Such a result wouldn't be mutually destructive, but at least it would cripple you! I think you wouldn't want to see such an outcome, would you?"

Hehehe...

Chen Xuan laughed loudly, "Cripple? Hehe, Patriarch Xue, you are entirely unaware of the current situation!"

"It's no exaggeration to say, exterminating your five-family alliance is easy, and the Zhang Family wouldn't even suffer a scratch."

Zhang Jun wore a proud smile; since Chen Xuan spoke this way, it meant the Zhang Family had ample confidence.

Not afraid to fight them to the very end!

The four patriarchs all squinted slightly, unable to make up their minds for a moment.

Patriarch Xue still snorted coldly, "You're exaggerating! Do you really think with the Zhu Family's help, you can easily wipe out our five-family alliance?"

"Do you take us for three-year-olds who can't calculate?"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, "What you said isn't wrong. If it were just the Zhu Family and the Zhang Family against you, it would indeed be crippling."

"But I'm not just talking about the Zhu Family and the Zhang Family. Have you forgotten the last time you went to the Zhang Family to make trouble and why you left in disgrace?"

Hmm?

Including Patriarch Xue, all four patriarchs furrowed their brows, a sense of foreboding emerging in their hearts.

"You mean, the Zheng Family, Chang Family, and Zhao Family… these three second-tier families also take orders from you?"

Patriarch Xue cautiously asked.

"That's right!"

Chen Xuan nodded with a cold smile, "Besides those three families, there's also the Luo Family!"

"With just one command from me, they would all attack you without hesitation!"

"In this situation, is extinguishing your five-family alliance still considered difficult? How much loss does it pose to the Zhang Family? Not even a scratch!"

Whew, whew, whew, whew!

The four patriarchs all gasped.

If the Zhu Family, Zheng Family, Chang Family, and Zhao Family—those four second-tier families—attacked them, they wouldn't be able to withstand, leading to inevitable destruction.

Not to mention there's also the first-tier Luo Family!

In an instant, all four patriarchs panicked and no longer dared to bluster.

Nor dared to gamble easily!

They couldn't afford to lose!

"Then according to what you just said, what price do you want us to pay?" Patriarch Xue asked tremblingly.

The other three patriarchs looked equally apprehensive, not daring to be careless.

Chen Xuan flicked the ash from his cigarette and said softly, "It's simple, just make a little economic compensation."

"Each of your families needs to pay twenty million to the Zhang Family, and we won't hold it against you."

"This amount is not a big deal for you; it's just a small lesson. It's your own fault for not heeding advice and siding with the Song Family back then."

Hearing this, all four patriarchs secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although paying twenty million as compensation felt suffocating and humiliating, this amount indeed wasn't significant to them.

It was the best way to resolve the crisis of family annihilation.

"Alright, we accept the punishment and are willing to pay twenty million as compensation."

Patriarch Xue nodded slightly, "But you must also guarantee not to act against us again."

Chen Xuan smiled, "I don't need to guarantee anything to you, nor is there a need."

"Initially, it was the Song Family that brought this upon themselves, which is why they were targeted. This matter had nothing to do with you; you chose to get involved, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Xue and the others wore awkward smiles, left speechless.

At this moment, Zhang Jun said softly, "Chen Xuan's words represent the stance of our Zhang Family."

"If he said he wouldn't cause you trouble, he wouldn't go back on his word."

The four patriarchs nodded, "Alright then, we indeed made a mistake this time, and it's only right to accept the punishment."

Very soon, the four patriarchs each handed over twenty million to Zhang Jun.

A total of eighty million!

After bidding farewell to the four patriarchs, Zhang Jun voluntarily handed the eighty-million check to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan waved his hand, "I don't need this money; consider it a gift for Yan'Er's wedding, and pass it to her on my behalf when the time comes."

"Alright then, I won't be polite."

Zhang Jun laughed awkwardly, "Why did you let them go earlier? It would've been better to wipe them out in one go, without being courteous."

Chen Xuan sneered, "Your ambition is swelling again, isn't it? If you can't control it, you'll suffer greatly sooner or later."

Zhang Jun wore an embarrassed smile, not daring to reply.

Chen Xuan advised earnestly, "Exterminating the Song Family and incorporating all their assets into your Zhang Family is already a huge gain."

"If you wiped out all four of those families, your Zhang Family wouldn't be able to digest it! You'd be overwhelmed to death!"
