Xiao Bei's return banquet had been quite successful overall.
At the very least, from today onward, the powerful and influential people throughout the Xia Kingdom all knew Xiao Bei's identity.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since the banquet.
Over those three days, the Xiao, Chen, and Zhang families had been locked in a fierce battle.
On the very day of the banquet,
the Zhang and Chen families joined forces. As two of the Six Great Families of the Imperial Capital, the amount of information they held on each other was immeasurable.
That same day, the Chen and Zhang families began purging the Xiao family's people in political circles within the cities each controlled.
As for such a purge,
what ordinary citizens saw was the arrest of corrupt officials and an anti-corruption campaign.
For a time, officials throughout the Xia Kingdom who had no idea what was going on tucked their tails between their legs.
They were terrified that the crackdown on crime and corruption would fall upon them.
At the same time, the Xiao family began making moves against members of the Zhang and Chen families within its own sphere of influence.
Of course, all three families suffered losses, but overall, one plus one was greater than two.
Under the Chen and Zhang families' cooperation, the Xiao family's forces steadily retreated.
Over those three days, the Zhang family began attacking the Xiao family's businesses.
They used every method they could possibly employ.
Especially since Xiao Group was now leaderless.
Xiao Kun was still under investigation. Without the Zhang and Chen families' approval, no one dared release Xiao Kun.
On the second day, Zhang Xue completed his acquisition of a controlling stake in ofo Technology.
The Zhang family now held the dominant share of ofo Technology.
