My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 874 874: The Choice of Fate

Chen Xuan noticed their hesitant expressions and softly said, "I'll give you half a day to consider, and tomorrow I'll see your actions."

"If you decide to cease hostilities and no longer target the Luo Family and the Li Family, it indicates that you've chosen to abandon the dark and turn to the light. I will also fulfill today's promise and not act against you."

"However, if you insist on attacking those two families, then you've chosen to stand against me. I will no longer be courteous, and will take immediate action to exterminate you!"

The four patriarchs looked at Chen Xuan with suspicious eyes, but there wasn't a trace of emotion on his face.

"Let's go!"

Patriarch Jiang snorted softly and took the lead to walk out of the hall.

The other three patriarchs followed closely behind, leaving one after another.

Inside the hall, silence descended in an instant.

Zhang Dehou immediately looked at Chen Xuan, "I don't know if the four of them will listen. If they refuse to heed the warning and continue to act, how should we respond?"

"If the Wu Family and the Qi Family really join forces against the Luo Family, I fear the Luo Family won't be able to withstand it!"

Chen Xuan waved his hand slightly, "You don't need to worry about that. Just follow my instructions at that time, and do whatever I tell you to do."

"Alright, we will certainly obey," Zhang Dehou replied with a cupped fist.

Chen Xuan didn't stay, and got up to leave the Zhang Family.

Zhang Jun and Zhang Dehou were not very optimistic about the current situation.

"Alas, it seems Jiangnan City is about to undergo a change, but as for the final outcome, no one can see through it now."

Zhang Jun shook his head slightly, "We don't even know what the fate of the Zhang Family will be next. If we follow the Luo Family and fight against the Wu and Qi Families, I'm afraid the Luo Family won't hold up, and we will also suffer the same fate."

"Unless Chen Xuan truly has the ability to turn the tide and fiercely defeat the two first-class families."

Zhang Dehou also shook his head and sighed, "I dare not make a conclusion now. I can't see through Chen Xuan, whether he's just putting on a show or if he actually has confidence."

"If he can really do it, then it shows that he is not as simple as he seems on the surface. He might be hiding a more substantial power background!"

"Even if he leaves Jiangnan City, no matter where he goes, he would be a prominent figure capable of calling the wind and summoning the rain!"

Zhang Jun was quite resigned, "We can only take it one step at a time and leave it to fate."

...

On the other side, after the four patriarchs went back, they immediately began to discuss.

"What do you all think about what that young man Chen Xuan said?" Patriarch Jiang inquired.

Patriarch Yang snorted lightly, "I think he's just bluffing, deliberately trying to scare us! I don't believe that he can command the Luo Family!"

Patriarch Shen hesitated, "What if it's true? We're stuck in a difficult position now!"

Patriarch Han also looked bitter, "Exactly, we're like a sandwich now, with the Wu and Qi Families pressing down from above and the Luo Family below."

"If Chen Xuan's words are true, our end will be miserable. But if we heed Chen Xuan's words and withdraw now, the Wu and Qi Families surely won't spare us easily either."

The four patriarchs were at a loss, unable to make a decision.

Patriarch Jiang pondered for a moment and said, "We need to weigh the pros and cons and come up with a solution."

"If we withdraw now, the Wu and Qi Families definitely won't spare us! If these two families act against us, do you think Chen Xuan or those Luo Family people will help us?"

"No! I don't think they will," Patriarch Yang was the first to shake his head.

The other patriarchs shared the same sentiment, thinking it unlikely.

Patriarch Jiang spoke again, "And if we continue to side with the Wu and Qi Families, could we become cannon fodder? How probable do you think that is?"

"It can't be said there's no possibility, but I think the chance should be small," Patriarch Yang responded first again.

At this time, Patriarch Shen said, "Why don't we continue with our original plan? Compared to the big families like the Wu and Qi Families, that young man Chen Xuan isn't particularly trustworthy."

"At the very least, we shouldn't deliberately bring trouble upon ourselves and outright offend the two big families."

Patriarch Han nodded, "I agree too. We only need to discuss how to avoid becoming cannon fodder."

"How to follow the two big families to victory and then withdraw completely!"

"Alright, let's decide on this," Patriarch Jiang nodded solemnly, "No need to pay attention to Chen Xuan's words; let's continue to act against the Luo Family and the Li Family, and see what tricks he has to play!"

In an instant, the four patriarchs made their decision, which also meant their fates veered in a new direction, leading towards destruction…
