"Huh? Why is my body shaking?"
In front of the manor, Mr. Wu stared at the ground in surprise.

Just at this moment, Fu Yihan also came out of the manor. He also felt the ground shaking.

"Xiao Fu, was there an earthquake?" Mr. Wu asked him.

Fu Yihan pursed his lips, and the first thing he did was worry about Su Qing. He took out his phone and sent her a text message. But before he finished sending the message, he found that the ground had calmed down.

Everything that just happened seemed like an illusion to them.

Even if it is an earthquake, it should not be of great magnitude.

Despite thinking this, Fu Yihan still sent the text message.

Su Qing was sitting in the car on the way to the hospital. It was not until she saw the text message from Fu Yihan that she realized there had been an earthquake.

"It turns out that it wasn't an illusion." she murmured.

However, because the magnitude of the earthquake was too low, Su Qing quickly put the matter behind him. Ten minutes later, they arrived at the hospital and Shi Zhuo was carried in on a stretcher.

Su Qing was the only person Shi Zhuo asked for help before he fell into a coma, so he was also taken to the hospital.

People in the hospital seemed to be talking about the small earthquake that just happened, but it should be short in duration and low in magnitude, so no one took it seriously.

However, unknown to them, some people were busy preparing for the earthquake.

Su Qi has been following the great devil Su Xi recently, learning how to become a qualified heir to the Su family. After a while, it is unclear whether she has learned it or not, but she has learned a lot of secrets about the four major families.

For example, the distribution of interests among the four major families.

For example, the Su family and the Ji family seem to have a bad relationship, but in fact there is still a lot of cooperation between the two families.
……

These are the big things.

There are also some smaller collaborations.

For example, Su Qi knew that in recent times, the four major families and the municipal government of C city seemed to be looking for someone?

Every time he saw his mother Su Xi talking about it with other people, Su Qi felt that the person they were looking for must be an important figure, or someone with high mental strength.

However, the four major families spent a lot of time and still failed to find that person.

The relationship between the three major families, the Su family, the Ji family, and the Huo family, and the Ming family seems to have become subtle.

Su Qi is now learning from Su Xi. At present, Su Xi has not let her get in touch with the core of the family, so she needs to guess and figure out many things by herself.

Perhaps, this is also a way for Su Xi to train her.

However, this morning, Su Qi was in Su Xi's office, listening to the manager of a department of the company report to Su Xi on his recent work.

Just then, she felt the ground shaking.

"what!"
"earthquake!"

Someone outside exclaimed.

Su Qi also thought it was an earthquake, so he quickly hid behind something that could provide shelter, then took out his cell phone and called Gu Zhien. As soon as he got through the call, the earthquake stopped.

Su Qi stood up from the ground, glanced in the direction of her mother, then looked away and asked about the situation on Gu Zhien's side on the phone.

Gu Zhien said that when the earthquake happened, he was accompanying his father to paint in a park near his home, so he was not affected. Then he asked about Su Qi's situation.

The magnitude of the earthquake was very small, so Su Qi was naturally fine.

"I'm glad everything is alright." Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to follow people downstairs, he was stopped by Su Xi's secretary Xiao Wang at the elevator entrance.

"Ms. Su Qi, the boss asked you to go back to the office right now." Xiao Wang had a professional smile on his face.

"Now?" Su Qi frowned.

"Now." Xiao Wang continued to smile.

Su Qi sighed in disappointment.

She originally wanted to take this opportunity to sneak out and see her baby Ji-eun.

The last time she saw Zhien was the time before.

Su Qi returned to the previous office, and Secretary Xiao Wang was guarding the door of the office. When she went in, she found that there was a video projection in front of Su Xi.

The projection was cut into several small grids, with a person in each grid.

Among the people Su Qi knew alone, there were politicians from City C, the head of the Ming family, Ming Ting, the head of the Ji family... and finally, the head of the Huo family, Huo Qinzhou, also came.

What happened?
Su Qi was surprised.

It actually alarmed the most powerful person in City C.

Su Qi knew that this was not the place for her to act up, so she walked obediently behind her mother Su Xi and stood.

In the video projection, someone also noticed Su Qi's presence. Only Ji Chengcheng's father, the head of the Ji family, teased her and asked if her mother was going to retire.

Su Xi had a cold face and did not respond to his teasing.

Soon, all nine boxes in the video were filled with people. Once everyone was present, even the head of the Ji family stopped teasing the heir of the Su family and his expression instantly became serious.

Everyone was staring at their phones, seemingly waiting for a message.

Su Qi was also infected by the atmosphere at the scene. Standing behind Su Xi, she didn't dare to breathe. Not long after, she saw a message on her mother's phone saying the alarm had been lifted.

Then, she noticed that everyone participating in the video conference, including her mother, seemed to be relieved.

"Oh, it's okay." The politician from City C took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Fortunately, it was just a false alarm." The head of the Ji family also nodded.

Although the others didn't say anything, they all felt like they had survived a disaster.

what happened?

Su Qi really wanted to ask her mother who was sitting in front of her, but the current situation didn't seem to be the right time to ask.

"But this is only temporary."
At this time, she heard Huo Qinzhou, the head of the Huo family, speaking in the lower right corner of the video.

Huo Qinzhou seemed to be in a bad mood, with a dark face, looking more cruel than before, "We can't be so lucky every time. The earthquake has begun, which means that the 'foundation' is no longer solid. We need to find that person as soon as possible. Otherwise, what problems will arise? I believe that everyone here knows better than a junior like me."

Earthquake?
Isn't it an earthquake?
It was because of the small earthquake just now?
Su Qi was surprised.

"Master Huo is right."

The Patriarch of the Ji family spoke. This time he did not try to cover up the issue like before, but directly put the question on the table, "Patriarch of the Ming family, have you asked Mr. Ming about the matter we asked you to ask before? What did Mr. Ming say?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's attention turned to Ming Ting, the head of the Ming family.

"Xiao Zan said he didn't know either." Ming Ting said somewhat unhappily.

"How could Mr. Ming not understand? That night, we were almost finding that person, but it was Mr. Ming's spirit that stopped us."

After hearing this, the Patriarch of the Ji family sneered, "If you didn't know him, why would you cover up for him?"

"Xiao Zan doesn't know anything about the 'foundation', how could he deliberately cover it up for others? This is simply nonsense." Ming Ting retorted.

"Who knows?"

The head of the Ji family glanced at Su Qi behind Su Xi, "Although each family has agreed that only the head of each family is qualified to know about the 'foundation', there are people like the head of the Su family who break the rules and directly bring the heir of the Su family to attend the meeting. Mr. Ming has a special status in the Ming family. Who knows if the head of the Ming family told him about this?"

After the Ji family's patriarch finished speaking, he muttered, "If I had known this would work, I would have brought my Cheng Cheng with me next time."

The war spread to the Su family. Su Xi glanced at the head of the Ji family calmly: "Xiao Qi is learning to handle the affairs of the Su family. Sooner or later, she will become the head of the Su family. I am not breaking the rules."

"Unreasonable."
Ming Ting was also angered by the words of the Ji family's patriarch, "In Xiaozhan's situation, there is no way I would tell him about the 'foundation'."

"What's going on? Are the rumors true?" The head of the Ji family raised his eyebrows.

"No." Ming Ting denied.

But even if he denied it, no one at the meeting seemed willing to believe it.

Finally, it was the politicians of City C who spoke up to ease the atmosphere, and the discussion about "Ming Zhan's riddle" was temporarily stopped. Then, the topic returned to the beginning, which was "foundation" and finding someone.

Su Xi had not told Su Qi about this beforehand, so she was standing behind and listening in confusion.

Don’t you know what the “foundation” is?
I don’t know who these powerful people in City C are looking for?

All I heard was the parties attending the meeting arguing with each other.

First, the Ji family accused the Ming family, and then the Ming family fought back.

As the Su family got involved, they temporarily joined forces with the Ming family to fight back.

The Huo family watched the fire from the other side.

City Councilor C wants to be a peacemaker.

After the intermission, it was the Huo family's turn to attack the Su family. The Ji family, Ming family and Huo family formed a line to attack Su Xi together...

The relationships between the several families, with their separations and reunions, seemed extremely complicated, which made Su Qi even more dizzy.

It turns out that at such high-end conferences, each company is just arguing and fooling around.

Su Qi had a new understanding of the meetings of several major families.

40 minutes later, the video conference finally ended. Su Qi looked at Su Xi in confusion, watching her turn off the video projection in front of her.

"Mother, what just happened was..."

Su Qi spoke up and wanted to ask, but was stopped by Su Xi's eyes.

"You should know what to say and what not to say."

Su Xi raised his hand and rubbed his brow, a rare look of fatigue on his face, "Next, City C may be in chaos for a while, you have to grow up as soon as possible, understand?"

"Oh, I see." Su Qi quickly stood up and nodded.

On the other side, after two hours of surgery, Shi Zhuo was finally out of danger. However, the doctor said that he had lost too much blood and was in estrus, so he was weak and needed to stay in the hospital for a few more days.

Su Qing went downstairs to help Shi Zhuo pay the medical bills, and then went upstairs to the ward to find him.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a uniformed policeman in the ward asking Shi Zhuo about what happened before. Shi Zhuo had just escaped from danger and was still very weak, so the police didn't ask too many questions and only asked a few necessary points.

"Police officer."
As the first person to arrive at the scene, Su Qing spoke at this time.

She said Shi Zhuo was still very weak, and she was the first person to arrive at the scene after the incident, and perhaps she could help Shi Zhuo answer some detailed questions.

Afterwards, they made a simple record in an empty ward next door.

As long as it can be proved that Ji Linlin and his group of Alphas were the first to harm Shi Zhuo, then according to the "Omega Protection Law" of City C, when Omega is persecuted by Alpha, he can use all the conditions and means at his disposal to defend himself.

During this period, even if the Omega over-defended itself, it was still within the scope permitted by the Omega Protection Act.

When Ji Linlin and his gang tied Shi Zhuo into a van at the gate of C University, the surveillance camera at the school gate captured the video, which can be used as evidence that Ji Linlin and his gang took the initiative to kidnap Omega.

In the stairwell of the abandoned factory where the accident occurred, there were synthetic pheromones that could induce Omegas to go into estrus. In addition, Shi Zhuo entered the estrus period early, which proved that Ji Linlin and others used synthetic pheromones on Shi Zhuo.

In the Omega Protection Act, Alpha forcing Omega to use synthetic pheromones to induce Omega into estrus is one of the most serious crimes.

Just with these two points, Ji Linlin and his men will never be able to atone for their sins even if they spend the rest of their lives in prison.

This also meant that Shi Zhuo had a very legitimate reason to use self-defense under the Omega Protection Act in the situation at the time.

This case is very clear and straightforward. The only variable is Ji Linlin's identity.

He was the adopted son of the Ji family, and he was killed by a powerless orphan. How would the Ji family react? If the Ji family insisted that Shi Zhuo pay for Ji Linlin's life? I'm afraid Shi Zhuo would not feel good about it either.

Perhaps because they couldn't stand the behavior of an Alpha like Ji Linlin, the police secretly reminded Su Qing before leaving.

There is indeed a trouble over at the Ji family.

Su Qing came out of the next ward, thought for a while, and went back to Shi Zhuo's ward.

Shi Zhuo had fallen asleep because he was too weak.

Looking at the Omega lying on the hospital bed, looking extremely weak, Su Qing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Take good care of him. If anything happens, notify me immediately." Su Qing said to the hired nurse.

After saying that, she looked at Shi Zhuo again and walked outside.

She met the bodyguards who had stayed behind to deal with the accident outside. Because the bodies at the factory had been moved away, the bodyguards took their statements and rushed to the hospital.

"What's the situation over there? Is there any movement from the Ji family?" Su Qing said as he walked towards the elevator door.

"No." The bodyguard replied.

"No?"
Su Qing paused.

It's really a bit unexpected.

Ji Linlin died, but no one from the Ji family came to hold him accountable?

Thinking about how Ji Linlin was doing his job as the "Young Master of the Ji Family" well, but today he seemed to have suddenly gone crazy and blatantly tied Shi Zhuo to the abandoned factory, it seemed as if he wanted to die together with Shi Zhuo.

Could it be that something happened in the Ji family recently that she didn't know about?
"Send someone to check the Ji family, especially Ji Linlin's adoptive parents." Su Qing ordered the bodyguard.

In the afternoon, when Su Qing returned to the Su family, Su Qi had already returned and was sitting on the swing in the garden in a daze.

"What's going on? You look like you're worried about something." Su Qing walked over.

"Aunt, you're back." Su Qi raised her head and looked at her with complicated eyes, as if she wanted to say something but stopped.

"Did you have a fight with Gu Zhien?" Su Qing raised an eyebrow.

"No." Su Qi grabbed the swing rope and shook his head.

"What is that? Was it the earthquake this morning that scared you?" Su Qing asked again.

"That wasn't an earthquake, it was..." Su Qi stopped speaking halfway.

She remembered her mother's warning.

The content of the video conference cannot be told to anyone, including her aunt.

"Oh, forget it, it's okay." Su Qi sighed and lowered his head.

The young Alpha who used to be heartless and only cared about falling in love now seems to have her own troubles.

"You are so young, stop sighing here."

Su Qing raised his hand and rubbed her head. "If you are really troubled, then go on a date with your Zhien. I remember that in a few days, it will be the 'Lover's Day' in City C. Have you made an appointment with Gu Zhien in advance? Don't let other Alphas get there first when the time comes."

"How could I forget such an important holiday? But you, aunt, do you have any appointment that day?" Su Qi looked up and asked her with a smile.

Ah? She?
She wants to date someone too?
Su Qing hasn't thought about this yet.
