Chapter 378 Dingming City 9
Some things are considered secrets if only one family knows them, but once they are exposed, they are no longer secrets.
The next day, Cheng Jiu and his companions could hear people everywhere in the inn discussing the Zhou and Wang families.
The spoils have all been divided up, and those who were just watching can only lick the scraps; they can't get anything else.
The main event was truly astonishing, almost like dropping a bomb on Dingming City, causing chaos and panic among the city's other families.
The incident stemmed from the spirit mine jointly developed by the Zhou and Wang families through a marriage alliance. The mine was of exceptional quality, and due to the marriage alliance, the Wang family voluntarily handed over all mining rights to the Zhou family.
However, as in-laws, the Zhou family couldn't keep all the profits to themselves, so they took the initiative to cooperate with the Wang family when mining the veins to show the closeness between the two families.
At first, there was nothing wrong with it. The two families worked together peacefully to mine the new vein, and the Zhou family took the lion's share, which made both sides happy.
The problem arose a month and a half ago when subtle tremors occurred in the polar regions, which no one paid much attention to.
Subsequently, following that tremor, the ore vein jointly mined by the two companies underwent significant changes.
Two-thirds of the way through the spirit ore vein, there was a connection to a snow star ore vein of even higher quality and grade than the spirit ore vein itself.
Although it's only two-thirds of the way through, the Snow Star Mine is clearly a new vein that can be seen with the naked eye.
According to the city's regulations, the first two companies to discover the site have the mining rights.
This is Snow Star Mine, a rare and precious resource that is only produced in polar regions and is in high demand.
If they could completely control the Snow Star Mine, the Zhou family's strength would definitely increase even further.
However, the Zhou family was not the first to discover the Snow Star Mine. The Wang family's greed was no less than that of the Zhou family, and the head of the Wang family would never allow the Zhou family to monopolize the Snow Star Mine.
In order to obtain the Snow Star Mine for themselves, the Zhou family decided to target the Wang family.
First, there's the head of the Wang family. The young master of the Wang family is arrogant and domineering, and he has offended a powerful figure.
The head of the Wang family was cleaning up after his son when he was severely injured by that powerful expert. Although he took some medicine, he is still lying in the Wang family compound.
The downfall of the Wang family patriarch had an unexpectedly large impact on the family, causing it to decline significantly in an instant.
Then another person in charge was tricked and imprisoned by the Zhou family under the pretext of harvesting.
The Wang family was even more disoriented, and with the added pressure from the Zhou family, they suffered a severe blow.
Wang Lianxi was initially busy with the affairs of the Wang family and did not suspect the Zhou family. Who would have thought that the Zhou family would stab them in the back so soon after their marriage?
But Saturday's strange behavior aroused Wang Lianxi's suspicion. Ever since the Wang family was targeted, Saturday's gaze towards her had been full of pity and guilt.
This directly triggered Wang Lianxi's sensitive nerves, which was very abnormal.
In another unexpected turn of events, Wang Lianxi overheard the Zhou brothers plotting something, took a picture of their conversation, and immediately started making a scene.
She blew up the courtyard where they lived, and photographic stones flew everywhere. There were pictures and evidence to prove it, letting the whole city know that the Zhou family was mean and ungrateful, even harming their in-laws.
Its reputation has plummeted.
It was around this time that Miss Wang moved out of the Zhou family's house.
At first, Wang Lianxi didn't understand why the Zhou family would take action against the Wang family. The only two people who knew the truth were sent to the Arctic to be frozen.
After making inquiries from various sources, it was discovered that Zhou Liu was not on guard against her. It could be said that if it weren't for Zhou Liu's indecisiveness, Wang Lianxi would not have known about the Xuexing Mine.
The Zhou family kept this treasure, which could enable the family to leap forward, a secret extremely well.
