The patriarch's authority was deeply rooted, and the children and grandchildren of the Fu Family naturally dared not defy his intentions; the plan was forcibly halted.
However, the ambition of Pei Fengnan, who was pulled onto the pirate ship by those few from the Fu Family, was not so easily suppressed. Unwilling to give up the benefits about to be grasped, he proceeded with the original plan by himself and eventually swallowed up the Shen Family.
After committing such acts, Pei Fengnan also feared exposure. Seeking protection, he gave those few from the Fu Family quite a bit of benefit. The deeds were done by Pei Fengnan, so those few from the Fu Family didn't dirty their hands and didn't violate the patriarch's rules. After receiving benefits, they naturally helped the Pei Family to deceive others.
