The news about the big four wealthiest families' election was the hot topic in Jingdu. Now that something terrible had happened to the Han family and then the Qiao family seemed to have also been implicated, many people were worried about the fate of the Qiao family.
Even though these two corporate giants seemed to be fighting to the death for a place in the big four, the Qiao family had been in the limelight because there weren't many wealthy families who would even dare to participate in this election. And, evidently, the strength between these two families was fairly evenly distributed.
With the Han family out of the picture, if the Qiao family could not take over the position, then there was always the possibility that a dark horse could come out of nowhere and gain a chance of being elevated.
