"Compared to the rising star Xu Hao, I have more faith in the Mao family. The foundation of a rising star is ultimately too shallow. Perhaps he has forces backing him, but since they aren't directly displayed on the surface, it shows there are things to avoid. However, the Mao family can go all out, and in comparison, Xu Hao's side is much weaker."

"But that's not the most important part. What really convinces me that the Mao family can win is the involvement of John Retail from America. They're a world-class retail giant! With their involvement, the Mao family is bound to defeat the Xu Liu Group in this battle!"

On the forum, everyone was discussing animatedly, almost all believing that the Mao family and John Retail would surely win this business war. In contrast, there were only a few supporting Xu Hao's side.

Xu Liu Group Huadu Headquarters.

When the news from the forum reached her, Liu Ruyan immediately informed Xu Hao.

Xu Hao smiled slightly and said, "Okay, today is the twelfth of the lunar calendar. If they don't make a move soon, I'm ready to head to Australia. Since they've revealed their ultimate goal, let me put an end to their Mao family's actions!"

Liu Ruyan immediately said, "How do you plan to put an end to their actions? Could it be that you want to..."

She had already guessed Xu Hao's next move, but she wasn't quite sure.

Xu Hao chuckled lightly and said, "Of course, it's not what you're imagining. Hurd, that kid, thinks he's accomplished just because he thinks he's wielding his power. However, he's forgotten that his company ultimately relies on the flag of John Retail!

If it weren't for the tiger skin of John Retail, could he really build a huge company on his own capability? Wishful thinking! All these are actually built under the shadow of John Retail, the behemoth. So, I'll give them a surprise attack from the bottom."

Xu Hao smiled slightly, then dialed a phone number.

When Steve saw it was Xu Hao calling, he was instantly overjoyed. Xu Hao, in his eyes, was the Divine Doctor!

Moreover, the incident where Xu Hao revived the already deceased Patriarch of the Xiang Family in Hongkong had been spread worldwide. Well-informed and powerful people all knew that Xu Hao possessed fearsome medical skills, and establishing a good relationship with someone like Xu Hao was a dream for everyone.

Steve waved his hand to dismiss the servants and then immediately said, "Young Master Xu, hello, hello,"

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Mr. Steve, how's your health now?"

"Haha! I'm feeling excellent! I even feel like I've regained twenty years of youth!" Steve laughed heartily.

The servant walking toward the door was suddenly astonished in his heart. After all, Mr. Steve was usually a serious person, hardly ever smiling, let alone laughing so joyfully. Who was the caller that could make Mr. Steve so happy?

He shook his head and left. These were matters beyond his guessing.

Xu Hao laughed and said, "That's good. I wonder if Mr. Steve is aware of Hurd?"

"Hurd? You mean my grandson, Hurd?"

Steve was immediately startled and hurriedly said, "Young Master Xu, did he somehow offend you?"

"Offend might be too strong a word, but he's conspiring with the Mao family to bankrupt my Xu Liu Group," Xu Hao said calmly.

"What? He's trying to do such a thing?! This is outrageous! He's practically turning the world upside down!"

Hearing Xu Hao's words, Steve was immediately incensed and said, "Young Master Xu, I'll check immediately where he is and what he's doing. This kid dares to oppose you; does he still acknowledge our John Family?"

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Alright, go ahead and investigate. If he weren't part of the John Family, I would have dealt with him directly long ago."

Steve hastily said, "No worries, Young Master Xu, I will definitely give you a satisfactory outcome!"

In less than a minute, Steve promptly said, "Young Master Xu, I've found out. This kid is colluding with Mao Tanfeng from the Mao family. The Mao family is your enemy! He's rebelling! Young Master Xu, please stay calm, I'll go talk to Hurd and have him back off immediately!"

Xu Hao said calmly, "Do it quickly. My patience is limited. And manage your people better in the future."

Steve quickly expressed his gratitude and went to deal with Hurd's trouble.

Meanwhile, there was nothing but joyous laughter at the Mao family.

Mao Tanfeng laughed heartily, "Hahaha! With such a surprise attack on our part, Xu Hao is bound to be baffled. After all, he's not a businessman, he doesn't understand the dangers of commercial war, not to mention how crucial it is to hold the upper hand in it."

Patriarch of the Mao Family Mao Ping laughed, "For this operation, our entire Mao family should thank Young Master Hurd from the John Family in America, for his tremendous support!"

Hurd smiled slightly, just about to speak when his phone rang.
