Han Zizhi publicly mocked Bai Xiaosheng, warning him to retreat from their markets with threats of ruin amid local support. Bai Xiaosheng stayed calm, checked his phone, and urged Han He to do the same, revealing crises engulfing the Han Family's eastern and southern businesses. As panic sets in and Bai hints at backing from the elders, Director Hou arrives amid clamor, giving Han He renewed hope for judgment.

Han He’s face twisted sharply the moment he heard Bai Xiaosheng had abandoned the rivalry in the new market and turned to strike at the profitable ventures in his family’s eastern and southern areas.

Those operations formed the family’s bedrock, their very lifeline for existence—yielding them was utterly unthinkable!

Han He quickly spotted that numerous people on site were actually backing Bai Xiaosheng!

This twist sparked a burst of fury in Han He for an instant.

Right then, news hit that Director Hou was arriving soon.

Han He instantly perked up, planning to wield Director Hou’s authority to suppress Bai Xiaosheng.

Now, with the group ready to depart, internal clashes were the last thing needed, particularly one exploding to this degree.

Han He felt certain that Director Hou, upon hearing details, would scold Bai Xiaosheng and make him back off.

On top of that, Bai Xiaosheng’s "untactful move" would plant a deeply negative image in Director Hou’s mind, inflicting major hidden setbacks later on.

Those backing Bai Xiaosheng would get caught in the fallout too.

Excitement surged through Han He suddenly, like clutching the ideal chance to strike back and grip everyone’s vulnerability.

The upper hand returned to him, delivering pure delight!

Han Zizhi behind him grew thrilled as well.

"That’s right, we must protest to Director Hou; this Mr. Bai has gone too far. Please, Director Hou, administer justice!" Han Zizhi softly echoed.

Faces among the attendees shifted slyly upon catching the father-son pair’s words.

All those present had contributed to aiding or enabling Bai Xiaosheng in some fashion.

After all, assaulting more than thirty firms in just one week—disrupting their supply chains, sales chains, and funding chains all together, triggering chaos from products to services and clients, as if an "acute illness" bursting forth—such a feat went beyond one or two conglomerates. It stemmed from united action. If dragged in, who could slip away...?

Plenty inwardly faulted Bai Xiaosheng’s poor timing.

Though Han He had fallen to Bai Xiaosheng’s schemes already, launching an attack right now was truly shortsighted...

Clashing before the visit would anger the superiors, not only plunging Bai Xiaosheng into peril but also trapping everyone else in the blame.

Dong Tianlu, Lin Tianyi, and Hong Chengtian couldn’t resist glancing at Bai Xiaosheng, as Lu Yun and Jia Chengshan both stepped in to "mediate" between the sides.

"Everyone here is a businessman. In the business arena, conflicts and friction are inevitable. However, there are no deep-seated grudges, as we’re all after profit and gains. I suggest both parties take a step back, resolve this matter, and perhaps seize this chance to become friends—this would be a good outcome."

Lu Yun addressed Han He, showing readiness to play peacemaker.

"Mr. Lu is right. Previously, it was just business competition, albeit somewhat intense. Now that we’re all here together, it’s also fate. How about sharing a drink and laughing off past grievances?" Jia Chengshan proposed to Han He, pressing him.

With Lu Yun and Jia Chengshan pioneering the call for peace, others there quickly voiced support.

"Indeed, as business people, peace and harmony are paramount!"

"Let big issues become small and small issues disappear, bringing joy to everyone. Both parties should take a step back at the very least to prevent further escalation."

Such coaxing drew a grin across Han He’s features, while Han Zizhi behind him smirked inwardly at Bai Xiaosheng.

In short, the tide favored the Han family, and these folks were beginning to panic! Han Zizhi mused inwardly.

Bai Xiaosheng stayed composed, almost aloof, seemingly unconvinced that Han He would dare bring the feud to Hou Yuncheng at this juncture.

That look stirred a twinge of doubt in Han Zizhi.

Han He cast a look at the doorway, spotting someone entering, though Hou Yuncheng hadn’t shown yet. Still, he expected arrival in under two minutes.

Swiveling back to Bai Xiaosheng, Han He laced his fingers atop the table, querying with a smirk, "Mr. Bai, how do you propose we resolve this matter?"

Bai Xiaosheng mulled it over shortly, then grinned, "Since everyone’s suggesting reconciliation, it’s best we resolve this matter between our two families swiftly. Otherwise, delaying overnight may cause significant losses for Mr. Han."

Watching Bai Xiaosheng act this way fueled a blaze inside Han He.

Was this ridicule or intimidation?

"What kind of resolution would be considered ’proper’ resolution?" Han He pressed.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

"Currently, our competition exists in two directions: the newly emerging markets in the west and the existing market domains in the east and south. Mr. Han, you spent considerable effort to capture the new western market, while I expended effort securing market share in the east and south. For a proper resolution, we should transform our conflict into collaboration. How about this: you retain the existing market in the east and south, and we jointly develop the western markets. My enterprises will cooperate with yours for mutual growth. You should open up your various channels to us as much as possible. How does that sound?"

Given Bai Xiaosheng’s heavy investments, the terms weren’t overboard—no demand for Han He to surrender half the freshly seized western market share. Bai Xiaosheng’s pitch for joint development and channel sharing appeared quite fair.
