Navia took a deep breath and said, "Grandpa Phoenix, I'll call you grandpa for the last time. Do you know how many families Les has ruined? How many people have ruined their lives because of Les?"

Phoenix: "Navia, we are businessmen. We just need to make profits. We don't need to be responsible for other people's lives. Did I force them to buy Lex? No, they did it voluntarily. What does this have to do with us?"

Navia: "No, you are wrong. As businessmen, we must also have our own principles and bottom line. There are some businesses that we must never touch."

Lingkong: "Well said, businessmen can't sell everything, such as people, such as drugs. If you do too much of this kind of business that harms others and benefits yourself, you will be punished.

We Liyue people believe in karma, and we reap what we sow. If you do too many bad things, not only will you not have a good ending, you will also go to hell after you die."

"Sometimes I really feel that you are as stubborn as your father, and kind to the point of stupidity. Navia, you are not fit to be the mayor. You disappoint me so much." Phoenix left with his men.

Navia: "What you said just now really touched my heart. We are indeed like-minded friends."

Lingkong: "I don't know how to do business, but I know what I can do and what I can't do, right Xiangling? Xiangling's family is also in business."

Xiangling: "Oh, yes. First of all, our restaurant must... operate with integrity, and secondly... we must not use toxic or harmful ingredients. I think this is what everyone who does business should do."

Lingkong: "Xiangling understands such a simple truth, so how could that old man not understand it? He is just pretending to be ignorant even though he knows the truth."

Although the public security in Baisong Town is not very good, the air is not bad. Lingkong is willing to play here for a few more days.

Navia spared no effort to win them over. Besides work, she also took time out to eat, drink and have fun with them.

Baisong Town is close to the sea and has a small pier with several fishing boats moored at it.

Navia was introducing the fishing industry in Baisong Town to them when the black-clad bodyguard found her and said, "Ms. Navia, Mr. Phoenix invites you to attend the selection meeting for the new president of the Thorn Rose Society. Here is the invitation."

Navia took the invitation and said, "Tell him I will definitely go."

Lingkong: "Re-elect the president? Isn't this a good opportunity for you to regain control of the Thorn Rose Society?"

Navia: "It's not that simple. They can't let me be the president. They don't even want me to be the mayor."

Lingkong: "Do you need us to go with you?"

Navia: "Is this...convenient?"

Lingkong: "The mayor brought two bodyguards to a meeting. What's the problem?"

Navia: "Okay then. I'll take you with me."

Navia walked into the meeting room, and Phoenix stood up and said, "Navia is here, let's get started."

"Are there only these many people? Where are the others?" Navia felt something was wrong because the Thorn Rose Society was missing half of its members.

Phoenix: "Others who disobey management are no longer qualified to stay in the Thorn Plum Society. We are enough."

"You...are all involved in drug trafficking and colluding with the same people..." Navia understood that almost everyone present was Phoenix's people, or accomplices. The election for the chairmanship was just a formality.

Phoenix: "Yes, the Thorn Rose Society has long been my world. In addition to this matter, there is another thing I want to inform you.

This is the anti-corruption prosecutor, Ferdinand. The prosecutor has found solid evidence of your corruption, bribery, and abuse of power. You no longer need to be the mayor."

Navia: "I didn't, you slandered me!"

Ferdinand: "Mayor Navia, the mistakes you made can be big or small. I can give you a chance. As long as you support Mr. Phoenix to become the president, I will forgive you for what happened."

Phoenix: "Navia, you can choose not to support me, but you can't stand in my way. So many people are following me for food, and I am fighting for their interests. If you can also consider the majority, I can give you the position of president."

Navia: "The Thorn Rose Society has become like this, what's the point of me taking the position of president. Phoenix, I don't believe you can cover the sky with one hand in Fontaine, I, Navia, will never compromise!"

Phoenix: "Then you don't have to be mayor anymore. Just wait for the investigation."

Pai Meng whispered: "Teach them a lesson quickly. I can't stand seeing the bad guys' smug faces."

Lingkong: "I have already made my move."

Ferdinand suddenly fell to the ground and said in panic: "Then Master Villette, I didn't wrongly accuse her. I was joking with her. This is all a misunderstanding."

Everyone present was stunned because the Villette he mentioned did not come to the scene.

Lingkong: "So is Villette his boss? Why is he so scared?"

Navia: "That Villette is President Fontaine. Have you seen him?"

"I just used an illusion to make him see the person he fears the most." Lingkong said: "So all the accusations against Navia are made up by you, but you actually have no evidence."

Ferdinand: "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I have to sincerely apologize to Miss Navia."

Phoenix didn't understand what was going on: "Mr. Ferdinand, you..."

"I can't help you anymore. I'll return the money to you. You figure it out on your own."

Ferdinand left in a hurry, and Phoenix looked gloomy: "Navia, you really impressed me, what a good method."

Navia: "You are so cunning. You bribed the prosecutor to remove me. I'm so surprised you thought of that."

Ferdinand: "You won this round, but there won't be a next time. This is our internal meeting of the Thorn Rose Society. Anyone who is not involved please leave."

Navia took them away from the venue.

Pai Meng: "It was really thrilling just now. Those bad guys almost succeeded."

Xiangling: "It was a close call. Now they don't have any means to deal with Navia."

Navia: "This is not the end. The Thorn Rose Society and I are now on opposite sides. When my father was the president, he certainly never thought that this day would come."

Lingkong: "Just go ahead and do it. We will definitely support you from behind. There should be more than just these people in the Thorn Rose Society, right? You can win them over and set up another Thorn Rose Society. If you can earn more than them, they will give up the drug business and join you, right?"

Navia: "It's easier said than done. It's hard to make more profit than the drug business."

Lingkong: "I have an idea, but I need everyone's cooperation."

Navia drove them to her home. She was indeed a rich lady, living in a luxurious villa, driving a private car, and exuding aristocratic temperament from head to toe.

Sitting on the leather sofa in her house, Xiangling felt for the first time that she was just an ignorant country girl.
