Zhang Jianyuan nodded again, then sighed, "Actually, my decision to take action against the three major families in Jinling was ordered by the Kong family. I thought I could use this opportunity to gain favor with them and further expand the Zhang family's influence. But who would have thought it would only dig a pit for myself? Sigh..."
Zhang Lingtian was confused. "But if the Kong family wanted to deal with those three major families in Jinling, they could easily do so without much effort. Why go through such a complicated process?"
"In the past, I thought they were concerned about their reputation and didn't want to take action against Jinling," said Zhang Jianyuan. "But now I realize that my thinking was too simple. Those three major families in Jinling must have strong backing. If the Kong family wants to deal with them, it might be like playing a hidden game against that power. This time, we've really stirred up trouble."
