After a pause, Gao Rong pinched the space between his eyebrows and said, “In addition, a few days ago, my disappointing cousin even offended the forces in Southeast Asia. They took this opportunity to pressure the other families with the intention of destroying us. In the face of so much pressure, it’s not easy for the Gao family to maintain our current situation. It’s really difficult to advance.”

Mo Zhu rubbed her palms calmly and lowered her eyes thoughtfully.

When she was talking to Gao Qing in the room just now, she had been quietly observing the old man’s condition. If her diagnosis was correct, Gao Qing was not sick naturally. He showed signs of being poisoned. Besides that, based on the symptoms he had shown in various aspects, there should be more than one poison in the old man’s body.

Ordinary people would not be able to develop a poison that could cause one to suffer and also roam so domineeringly in one’s body for so many years.

Mo Zhu could not figure out who had poisoned Gao Qing and why he had used such a vicious poison, but she was certain that Gao Qing had taken the antidote developed by Old Guo before. If not, with his age of more than 50 years, he would probably die as soon as the poison erupted. It was impossible for him to last until she came.

An idea flashed across Mo Zhu’s mind. She lowered her head and looked up at Gao Rong. “The auction this time was so successful. The Gao family should have made a lot of money.”

Mo Zhu secretly calculated in her heart. Not to mention that the Gao family had ten items for auction, just the price of Lu Zheng and Lin Yuan’s two items was not a small sum of money.

When Gao Rong heard this, he nodded and replied, “Ms. Mo is right. The Gao family has indeed received a lot of funds through the auction this time, but the Gao family has suffered a serious loss for so many years. It’s already not easy for this money to make up for the losses in the accounts. I’m afraid we can’t contribute to the Gao family’s business anymore.”

When Mo Zhu heard Gao Rong’s explanation, she frowned slightly again. “Is the Gao family’s situation so serious now?”

Gao Rong took the initiative to explain with a low tone, “Ms. Mo is not in Beijing all year round and you might not know this, but the rankings between the big families in Beijing do not all depend on the quality of money and business. Once the ranking of a family falls, it proves that this family’s overall strength is already on the decline. No matter how hard they struggle, they can only try their best to control the decline and slow it down. It will not change the overall situation.”

After a pause, Gao Rong lowered his eyes and he sounded like he was giving up on himself. “In addition, recently, the foreign forces have been restless and have been wanting to inject funds into some small families in an attempt to control the entire capital through them. Therefore, the Gao family has long been unable to protect itself from the difficulties it faces.”

Mo Zhu nodded, indicating that she knew about this matter. She looked up indifferently at Huo Xuan, who was still sitting on the sofa in the main hall and drinking tea. She turned to Gao Rong and instructed, “Calculate the industries and assets under the Gao family that are still operating tonight. Starting tomorrow, sell them all.”

When Gao Rong heard this, he looked back at Mo Zhu in surprise. “Ms. Mo, what do you mean?”

Mo Zhu did not explain and her expression remained calm. She glanced at the man coldly and said bluntly, “Remember what I said. I want you to sell all of the Gao family’s assets. After completing these matters, I’ll arrange for someone to look for you to take up some new projects. I want the Gao family to enter the top five families in Beijing again within a month.”

Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s words, Gao Rong’s eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, “Top five? Ms. Mo, are you joking?”

It was no wonder that Gao Rong did not dare to believe Mo Zhu’s words.. Not to mention the top five in the entire capital, it was also extremely difficult for the Gao family to maintain the tenth place.
