Chapter 523: Chapter 487: Making Plans

The content of the photo naturally couldn’t be disclosed during the live stream, but through Wu Li’s expression and his conversation with Xing Jun, the online audience in the live room had little trouble guessing the content of the photo.

"The photo must show many victims’ gruesome conditions."

"Wu Li, hurry up and find the murderer and eliminate him!"

"I think it’s the first time I’ve seen Wu Li so angry."

"It’s also the first time I’ve seen Wu Li enraged. I’m a bit scared even through the screen."

...

Following that, Wu Li and Xing Jun no longer participated in the discussion, listening quietly to Qian Kun and Liu Jiande’s conversation throughout. It wasn’t suitable for Wu Li to interact with the audience in the live room under these circumstances, so, twenty minutes later, the broadcast ended.

After the broadcast ended, the real substantive discussion commenced.

"Chairman Liu, please share your understanding of the Mandela family; we will combine our intelligence on both sides to check for any gaps," Qian Kun said directly.

Liu Jiande nodded, then spoke:

"The first family head of the Mandela family, Nelson, started with maritime transport and was initially the maritime leader in the area around the Southeast Coast of Southern F. Southern F has always been considered very chaotic, but the seas were actually the most chaotic."

Liu Jiande looked at the others and slowly said,

"Especially over thirty years ago, when the relevant laws were still not mature. The strife on the sea was outright brutal; there was no morality or kindness to speak of! There’s always been a saying within the Chinese community in Southern F: better to battle armed thugs than to provoke those who sail the seas."

"Nelson rose step by step in such an environment. Back when we hadn’t even established the East Cape Chinese Chamber of Commerce, he was already a maritime leader, a true legend. Without exaggeration, the tens of thousands of seafarers along the Southeast Coast of Southern F all depended on him for their livelihood."

"Nelson later passed away from illness, and the Mandela family was plunged into a civil war, and the entire Southeast Coast region was thrown into chaos. Those years were truly bloody and tumultuous, and it was also during that time that our chamber of commerce took the opportunity to develop," Liu Jiande said, his expression both reflective and slightly proud.

"Can you elaborate on that civil unrest? The information we have is quite general, and there isn’t a detailed record of that unrest," asked Qian Kun.

Liu Jiande’s eyes glazed over as he fell into reminiscence: "The chaos was chaotic from the start, no one knew how the fighting had broken out. It was like a massive wave suddenly hit us, everyone was stunned. Only when we came to did we realize it was time to pick sides."

"Nelson had a total of seven children, five sons and two daughters. The ones who were really capable of fighting for the position were the eldest, the third, and the fifth. Our chamber of commerce was already quite strong at the time, so we had to choose a side. We chose to support the eldest, Ciro, but in the end, it was the fifth, Celeon, who ascended."

"Oh?"

Qian Kun was surprised, he hadn’t known about this, "And Celeon was able to tolerate you all until now?"

Liu Jiande gave a bitter smile, "At that time, everyone fought too fiercely; the people from the third line were almost wiped out, and although Celeon won, he was also greatly weakened. If he had decided to eliminate everyone, outsiders might have taken advantage of the chaos, potentially leading to the Mandela family being struck off. So, in the end, both sides compromised, with Ciro’s side conceding some interests and acknowledging Celeon as the Family Head."

"Later, Ciro’s influence was gradually eroded by Celeon. Ciro tried to resist, but he couldn’t win even when he had the upper hand, let alone when he was down. Eventually, Ciro completely gave up on contesting for the position, voluntarily ceding his power, and since Celeon, recognizing they were brothers, did not pursue them to the end, he allowed him to retire peacefully, and even spared those of us who had initially supported the wrong side from too much trouble."

Though it appeared lucky in hindsight, Liu Jiande’s tone was clearly filled with regret when he spoke about this. Mentioning Ciro also carried a trace of resentment.

It’s understandable, though, if Ciro had been the victor then, the East Cape Chinese Chamber of Commerce would certainly not be at the scale and strength it is now; perhaps they would not have encountered the tragedy of their people being slaughtered.

Liu Jiande: "Over the past decade, the Mandela family has gradually moved from the foreground to behind the scenes, their business also started expanding inland, and their influence along the Southeast Coast seems to be weakening, so the connection between our chamber and them is also fading."

Qian Kun nodded, no wonder the intelligence personnel hadn’t found the old connections between the East Cape Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Mandela family; indeed, it was too far back, and the Mandela family had been out of the spotlight for ten years, those internal affairs were indeed hard to uncover in a short time.

"Chairman Liu, we still need to bother you to compile all the intelligence you know about the Mandela family and hand it over to us," Qian Kun said.

Liu Jiande nodded, "No problem."

Qian Kun turned to Wu Li and Xing Jun, "First, let’s clarify the intelligence, then formulate a specific action plan."

"Alright."

Wu Li nodded, although his heart burned with anger, it didn’t mean he would act impulsively.

"Then let’s get to work right away," Xing Jun said.

There was no need for formalities or politeness on their side, and with Liu Jiande’s side having suffered such an incident, they were also eager to exact revenge, so both parties immediately dove into work.

...

At 7 PM, in a conference room.

Qian Kun said, "According to the intelligence we’ve pieced together, this incident appears to be the Mandela family speaking out on behalf of Le Yuan. The two families are currently openly in a business partnership, but realistically, the former family head Celeon is one of the direct beneficiaries of Le Yuan’s longevity products, so it’s logical for him to direct the Mandela family against Hua Jian. And to resolve this incident, I have two approaches."

"The first, kill Celeon!" Qian Kun said with a stern look.

"Although Celeon is already eighty-three this year and has passed the position of family head to his son, he remains the actual helmsman of the Mandela family. For someone his age, nothing is more important than living a few more years, so he can’t be swayed nor will he compromise; our only option is to kill him."

"Second, after Celeon’s death, although the Mandela family will be in disarray for a while, to prevent them from causing us trouble in the future, we can support someone from Ciro’s line to take over as the new Family Head."

At this point, Qian Kun looked at Liu Jiande, "Chairman Liu, the mission you didn’t complete twenty years ago can be attempted again now."

Liu Jiande’s eyes brightened, and after discussing in low voices with several other high-ranking officials, he looked up at Qian Kun, "We agree to this plan!"

Qian Kun nodded, then looked at Wu Li and Xing Jun, "Now, let’s discuss the specific action plan."
