"You do not understand……"

Feng Zhengde said with a sad face: "There are some things you don't know. If your second uncle investigates further, it's not just targeting the newspaper, but the entire Feng family!"

Hearing this, Feng Zibin's body shook violently.

He knew that his family's history was not clean. How many people who could gain a foothold in this society were clean? If nothing went wrong, it would be fine. But if something went wrong, it would be a big deal.

Looking at his father's condition, Feng Zibin realized that this problem was of great importance and could be a disaster.

"Dad, this incident was caused by the Huo family."

Feng Zibin suggested: "Let the Huo family intervene. Maybe we can use their connections to suppress the matter."

Feng Zhengde's expression relaxed a little and he hurriedly called Huo Xuesheng.

However, the response he received was cold. Feng Zhengde was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He decided to contact Huo Yongnian directly and threatened:

"Mr. Huo, this whole thing happened because of your son. Now our Feng family is in trouble, and you just stand by and watch. Aren't you afraid that I will expose your Huo family's scandal?"

Huo Yongnian knew nothing about this matter. After listening to the explanation, he was furious and made it clear that he would not interfere in the Feng family's affairs. He hung up the phone indifferently and immediately contacted Huo Xuesheng to question him.

Huo Xuesheng knew he could no longer hide it and explained:

"Dad, it's not what you think. Our cooperation with Zhou Jinsheng needs publicity. The Feng family did this to please me. I wanted to stop it but it was too late."

"Really?" Huo Yongnian questioned.

"Dad, I'm your biological son. If you don't trust me, who else can you trust?"

Huo Xuesheng defended himself, "They said that because they were in trouble and wanted our help. I've already reprimanded them."

Huo Yongnian was silent for a moment, then ordered, "No matter what, you must return to Hong Kong City immediately. You are no longer responsible for matters in the mainland."

Huo Yongnian didn't want his son to cause more trouble in the mainland. The last turmoil had not yet subsided, and he had more important things to deal with, such as the old accounts between him and Zhou Qi. He had to wait until the situation stabilized before dealing with that.

"But, Dad..." Huo Xuesheng wanted to argue.

However, Huo Yongnian's tough attitude forced him to give in: "I know, Dad, I'll go back now."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Xuesheng smashed the phone angrily, stomped the ground hard, and muttered the name that made him grit his teeth - Zhou Qi.

"Why are you so haunting?" he murmured to himself.

"Give me one chance, just one chance, and I can bring you down completely." He whispered in the dark.

On the other side, Feng Zhengde seemed worried after hanging up the phone. His son Feng Zibin asked anxiously: "Father, what's the situation?"

Feng Zhengde smiled bitterly: "We need to contact Mr. Li. We must be humble and accept the conditions no matter how harsh they are."

At the same time, Li Jiaxin and Zhou Qi were enjoying dinner.

Li Jiaxin's cell phone suddenly rang. It was her brother Li Jianan calling.

"Where are you?" Li Jianan asked.

"Is there something wrong?" Li Jiaxin responded coldly.

"Little sister, I just want to know your location. Is there anything wrong with that?" Li Jianan said.

Li Jiaxin hung up the phone directly, but the phone rang again immediately.

Impatient, she picked up the phone: "Hasn't the money already been given to you? What else do you want?"

"I have something important to tell you, especially Zhou Qi." Li Jianan explained.

"What important thing?" Li Jiaxin asked.

"Let's talk about it when we meet." Li Jianan insisted.

Li Jiaxin looked at Zhou Qi for advice, and after getting his affirmative opinion, she reluctantly told him the location.

A few minutes later, Li Jianan walked into the restaurant with a smile, found them, and sat down quickly.

"Little sister, your skin looks much better," he said.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly. If not, just leave." Li Jiaxin said with a frown.

"Of course there is something, and it's a big thing."

Li Jianan said proudly, then gestured to the side, and Feng Zhengde, father and son, appeared at the door and bowed to Zhou Qi.

"come on."

Li Jianan called out, and when they approached, he shook his head arrogantly: "Now, tell me everything that happened from beginning to end."

Feng Zhengde did not dare to hide it and revealed that the Huo family and its member Huo Xuesheng were the masterminds behind the incident. He recounted the whole incident and asked Zhou Qi and the Li family for a chance to forgive him.

Li Jianan said dissatisfiedly: "If you can't afford to offend the Huo family, then you can offend our Li family?"

"It's not like that. Please forgive us. We don't want this to happen. We were forced into this by Huo Xuesheng." Feng Zhengde pleaded.

Li Jianan turned to look at Zhou Qi: "Look, this old guy didn't even give me face before, it turns out that Huo Xuesheng was backing him up."

"He planned the whole thing," Li Jianan added.

"I have already found out everything."

"Then how do you want to thank me?" Li Jianan asked with a smile.

Zhou Qi smiled but didn't answer.

Li Jianan was stunned for a moment, feeling strange: "Aren't you surprised or angry? This is a big deal."

He recalled the shock he felt when he learned about this from the Feng family. He thought Zhou Qi would be very angry, but he seemed very calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Li Jianan was wondering, and Li Jiaxin beside him explained: "In fact, Zhou Qi already knew it."

"How did you know?" Li Jianan asked in surprise and suspicion.

"Guessed it." Zhou Qi said lightly.

Li Jianan felt that Zhou Qi was pretending to be profound again. He had expected to see him panic, but that was not the case at all. He could not help but feel a little bored and turned to Feng Zhengde and said:

"You see, people have seen through your little tricks a long time ago."

Then, Li Jianan began to mock the Feng family, mentioning that Huo Xuesheng only dared to do bad things behind their backs, because when he was in Gangcheng before, this guy was beaten to a pulp by Zhou Qi, and all this was the result of his support behind the scenes.

He also warned the Feng family not to try to curry favor with the Huo family, as it would be meaningless.

Feng Zhengde quickly nodded to admit his mistake, took out a check for 300 million and placed it on the table as an apology, and promised that the Feng family would follow Zhou Qi's instructions in the future.

Seeing this, Li Jianan's eyes flashed with satisfaction. He took the check and said, "You are quite sensible."

Feng Zhengde felt relieved and quickly asked his two sons to apologize to Zhou Qi and Li Jianan.

Finally, Zhou Qi wiped his hands, looked at Feng Zhengde and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Feng Ziwen urgently requested Zhou Qi to stop investigating Feng Tingxian and withdraw the lawsuit against the newspaper.

But Zhou Qi pointed out that if the lawsuit was dropped, his company, Reno, would suffer losses.

Feng Zhengde immediately expressed his willingness to give up the newspaper and to compensate for any losses in order to gain Zhou Qi's understanding and support.

Zhou Qi shook his head slightly, reminding them that he was an outsider and his connections here were far less extensive than the Feng family's, suggesting that they might need to seek help from someone more influential.
