Chapter 574: Preparation

After half an hour of meeting with Chu Mo, the next day, the twenty-one second-generation members held at the Longevity Club were released.

Before this, no matter how Wu Tongda, the Family Head of the Northwest Wu family, tried to leverage connections, and no matter how the top-tier tycoons of the Northwest sought people, there had been no results. However, having merely spoken with Chu Mo for half an hour, Xia Zilan secured their release.

Though no one mentioned much, deep down, everyone inevitably had some guesses.

The reason Chu Mo agreed to release them must be because Xia Zilan promised some sort of benefit. Xia Zilan, being twenty-four and gracefully beautiful—unless Chu Mo was captivated by her, how could he possibly have let the second-generation group off so easily?

Thus, the general speculation was that Xia Zilan had paid a huge price—even the second-generation members, now freed, showed all kinds of indescribable expressions when they looked at Xia Zilan.
