“Go home? Mr. Zhang, you seem to have forgotten that all of the Zhang family’s real estate is also on the mortgage list… Including anything within the Zhang family’s property, even the toilet, no longer belongs to you…”
As Qi Tao spoke, he waved the assessment list in front of Zhang Heng’s eldest son.
Qi Tao’s words made it clear, all members of the Zhang family were now homeless, without any assets, left to wander the streets!
“Humph! Even if you have mortgaged it, so what? Don’t forget this is Northwest Anxi City, this is the Zhang family’s domain, who are you to count for anything? I’m going home, let’s see what you can do about it? Let’s go, everyone, let’s go home!”
Zhang Heng’s eldest son, Zhang Hong, still somewhat disbelieving, called to the core members of the Zhang family, hurried out of the Zhang Corporation building to the parking lot to drive home, but from a distance, they saw several workers directing a tow truck hauling away Zhang Hong’s sedan.
Zhang Hong immediately became frantic, “What are you doing? You’ve got some nerve, that’s my car, what right do you have to tow it away?”
“I’m sorry, according to Mr. Zhang Heng’s mortgage agreement, your sedan is also on the mortgage list, now these cars belong to Nether Pawnshop, please cooperate!” As they spoke, a few more workers stepped forward, blocked Zhang Hong, and threw an assessment list in his face.
Cooperate my ass!
Zhang Hong held the assessment list in his hands and looked at it, his mood plummeting to rock bottom.
Looking at his father, who stood beside him looking dazed and foolish, Zhang Hong also felt full of grievances, “Father, when you signed the mortgage agreement just now, why didn’t you leave us anything?”
But how could Zhang Hong understand Zhang Heng’s feelings at that time?

In the midst of that life-and-death struggle, all Zhang Heng could think of was victory!
And, under a collapsed nest, how could there be any intact eggs?
If the Zhang family lost, even if they could keep something, would Ye Fan let them off?
“Big brother, what do we do now?” The second son of the Zhang family saw the situation at hand and began to panic.
If even the car was impounded, what if the house was seized? Where would everyone live?
“First, let’s take a taxi home. Do you have any cash on you, little brother? Damn it! I just realized our bank cards have all been frozen, those bastards…” Zhang Hong had intended to use bank payment, to transfer some money into his micro-message for emergency use, but when he tried to make the transaction, he found that all of the bank cards and accounts under his name were frozen and completely unusable.
Banks and financial institutions must have already been aware of the battle between the Zhang family and the Ye family.
The Zhang family lost, it’s as if they were utterly wiped out. The Zhang family previously owed quite a lot of money outside, and at this time, financial institutions will surely try to minimize their losses by freezing all the bank cards of everyone in Zhang Corporation.
“Ah? Damn, my bank card is also frozen… It’s over, it’s all over… Doesn’t this mean we have no money even for food?” The heart of the second son of the Zhang family was ice cold.
After much difficulty, a few people scraped together some cash from their pockets and took a taxi back to the Zhang family mansion.
At the entrance of the courtyard, Zhang Hong’s wife, along with other family members, had all been driven out, with workers posting sealing strips at the entrance and Martial Arts Experts on-site to ensure order.
“Everyone listen up, all of the Zhang family’s mansions have been mortgaged to Nether Pawnshop by Zhang Heng, they are now officially seized, find yourselves another place to live!”
When Zhang Hong’s wife saw him return, she immediately rushed over, crying and wailing, “Husband, what on earth is going on? My set of gold jewelry is still inside, and they wouldn’t let me take it out!”
Alas!
Zhang Hong completely despaired, Nether Pawnshop had even appraised the toilet, so certainly, all the other valuables in the house were within the scope of the assessment.
The Zhang family had initiated an attack on the Ye family first, and now that the Ye family had risen, how could they possibly forgive the Zhang family?
It was all father’s fault, why did he choose to act against the Ye family in the first place?
Now the retribution has come, hasn’t it!
Although Zhang Hong was not as capable as Zhang Heng, she saw through issues more clearly.
This financial battle between the Zhang family and the Ye Family was just the beginning!
The Zhang family’s participation in the assassination attempt on the Ye Family, exterminating all ten core disciples of the Ye Family, had almost led to their annihilation.
The entire Zhang family would probably have to be buried alongside those Heroic Spirits of the Ye Family who died!
“Stop thinking about it! Let’s go!” Originally, Zhang Hong thought that in Anxi, the Zhang family was like the local serpent king, with their bodyguards, each a Martial Arts Expert. It seemed improbable that the Nether Pawnshop could forcibly seize her house.
Yet, when Zhang Hong arrived at the scene, she realized that all the bodyguards had run off, and not a single one remained.
“Big brother, where do we go now? We don’t have any money on us!” The second eldest of the Zhang family looked dejected, speaking to Zhang Heng at his side.
Zhang Hong sighed helplessly, “I’ll call a friend and see if I can borrow some money to rent a place and settle everyone down!”
“President Lin, this is Zhang Hong… Well, I’d like to borrow some money from you, not much, just fifty thousand, is that possible?” Zhang Hong felt extremely suffocated!
Her father, as an elder statesman, wielded immense power, with the Zhang Corporation’s scale reaching hundreds of billions.
In the past, Zhang Hong wouldn’t even give a glance at a mere fifty thousand.
But now… for fifty thousand, Zhang Hong had to beg abjectly.
“Ah! Fifty thousand won’t work? Then how about twenty thousand? If twenty thousand is too much, then ten, or even five thousand would do…”
Zhang Hong’s face kept changing, as she desperately suppressed the anger in her heart.
Trash that used to grovel before her like a dog now wouldn’t even deign to lend her fifty thousand. What the hell?
“Mr. Zhang, don’t even talk about fifty thousand; I wouldn’t lend you five yuan! I wouldn’t dare… Hmph! You Zhang family, when you began plotting against the Ye Family five years ago, you should’ve foreseen today’s consequences… You better take care of yourselves…”
The man on the phone said his piece and then hung up directly!
“Damn! Bastard, what the hell?” Zhang Hong was so angry she wanted to smash her phone, but considering everyone’s predicament, she ultimately swallowed her rage and continued to dial other contacts.
“President Ning…”
“Brother Wang…”
Zhang Hong made dozens of calls in succession, with the other party either not picking up or bluntly refusing after they did.
Just as President Lin said, they wouldn’t lend Zhang Hong a dime, let alone fifty thousand.
The current state of the Zhang family was utterly destroyed by the Ye Family, reduced to nothing more than lost dogs; who would dare to provoke them?
The more crazed the Zhang family’s assault on the Ye Family was, the more ferocious the Ye Family’s retribution would be…
At this point, Zhang Hong truly experienced what it meant to be deserted in the face of adversity!
The other members of the Zhang family were also trying to find ways, seeking help from brothers, from best girlfriends… but the results were no different, they didn’t manage to collect a single penny!
“I’m hungry, I’m so hungry… I want something to eat… you all hurry up and find me some food…” Zhang Heng stood aside, his expression vacant, issuing orders to Zhang Hong.
Seeing their father like this, the second eldest of the Zhang family felt a surge of resentment, “It’s all father’s fault, he insisted on targeting the Ye Family, and now he has brought us all to this state!”
“Big brother, I have an idea! What if we personally tie up father and deliver him to Ye Fan, would Ye Fan forgive us?”
