Wei Luo was very satisfied with Xu Lei's reaction.
If Ye Fan and Xu Lei didn't know how powerful the Wei family of Zhonghai was, then it would be meaningless for him to act like a big shot.
But he had been worried for nothing after all.
"During this time, the Xu family business has been running into problems again and again, across all industries. Billions of dollars' worth of goods have been stuck at the Zhonghai ports. So if my guess is right, your family's the one who's behind all of this, right?" Xu Lei continued to ask as she frowned.
Now that this Wei Luo turned out to be from a powerful family in Zhonghai, everything that happened before this made sense to Xu Lei.
It was no wonder that so many families in Yanjing had suddenly started distancing themselves from her.
And it was also no wonder that many of her expansion plans had run into issues.
The most pertinent of all was the fact that the goods that Xu Lei had ordered from overseas got stuck at Zhonghai by the authorities, and they still hadn't been released yet.
At that time, Xu Lei was under the impression that she had missed some paperwork, so she had run around trying to settle this matter for a long time.
But everything was clear now.
Missing paperwork was merely an excuse.
The real reason was that the Wei family was the one holding up the goods.
Wei Luo merely smiled at Xu Lei's questioning. "Miss Xu, you are indeed a lot more intelligent than others. Without any hints from me, you put two and two together so quickly. That's right, Miss Xu. All the issues you've run into lately are all my doing. But that's just an appetizer for you. The good show has only just started.
Next, I'm going to let all of you witness the birth of a new king in Yanjing."
Wei Luo made this declaration with great arrogance and confidence. He even looked disdainfully at Xu Lei and Ye Fan.
He was like a king looking down at ants.
If someone else said these words, Xu Lei might have just scoffed and felt that the other party was spouting nonsense.
But because these words were said by Wei Luo, Xu Lei did not think he was kidding.
Her eyes were filled with solemnness and grimness.
"Miss Xu, is the Wei family of Zhonghai very powerful? Are they even more powerful than the Xu family in Yanjing?" Ye Yu-Yan couldn't help but ask Xu Lei when she saw that Xu Lei had paled. She couldn't help but feel a little curious and worried.
Even though Ye Fan was considered one of the most powerful people in China, there were still some people he couldn't afford to offend, like Sword Saint and the God of War, since they were the leaders of the martial arts circle.
But of course, besides the martial arts world, there were some really powerful figures who controlled a lot of areas in the mundane world whom Ye Fan could not afford to simply ruffle their feathers.
Xu Lei nodded in response. "No matter how powerful the Xu family is, the best we managed was to become fourth place among the four great families of Yanjing. There were other families like the Mo family and Xur family, who have great military and martial arts backing. In any case, the four families had to essentially share Yanjing."
"But the Wei family is different. Zhonghai is so huge, but the Wei family controls the whole place by themselves. They are the leader of the entire region. They have connections and people in every single aspect of Zhonghai." "The person I talked to about my goods getting stuck in Zhonghai was also connected to the Wei family. No wonder nothing moved. The people who were targeting my family turned out to be the Wei family themselves,” said Xu Lei in a grim voice. There was worry written in her eyes.
At her position, there were very few factions of power that Xu Lei was wary of within the country.
