Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 502 Don't Join the Fun (10K)

Lin Dong felt he was truly wronged.

He was persuaded by Yan Xueyou to go and watch the excitement, and to gloat a little, but Zeng Wenjie ended up throwing a tantrum at him.

The key point is, how could Zhang Yuanqiao, who is usually so shrewd and wise, actually be fooled by his clumsy acting skills?!
At this moment, Lin Dong was a little dazed and couldn't help but ask, "Did I do something to displease the higher-ups?"

Lin Dong's elder, with a cigarette between his fingers, looked at him intently with a furrowed brow.

He also knew Lin Dong's character well; he always preferred to eliminate his opponents subtly rather than using such a simple and brutal method.

Therefore, he did not believe that Zeng Wenjie being hit with that brick was arranged by Lin Dong.

However, Zhang Yuanqiao was convinced that Lin Dong was responsible for the incident, and even angrily reported it to the big boss.

Perhaps Zhang Yuanqiao felt that he had warned Lin Dong before, but Lin Dong still dared to use such underhanded tactics against Zeng Wenjie, which made Zhang Yuanqiao a little angry.

“I also believe you didn’t do it, but now everyone thinks you did it!” The elder stubbed out his cigarette and said slowly.

Lin Dong gave a wry smile and said, "I really just went to see a play back then. It has absolutely nothing to do with me. If it has anything to do with me, may I be struck by lightning!"

The elder shook his head and said, "Whether I believe it or not is not important. The key is that Zhang Yuanqiao believes it, and the big boss believes it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong slumped onto the sofa, muttering, "How could this be? Is Zhang Yuanqiao so easily fooled? Or did they all trust Zeng Wenjie too much?"

Zeng Wenjie may not be very credible, but Tang Xi's words are very credible.

The Tang family has maintained close ties with high-level officials since the last century, and has even helped the country avoid several major losses.

As the current public figure in the Tang family, Tang Xi's claim that Lin Dong was targeting Zeng Wenjie, and that Lin Dong, oblivious to the danger, went to watch the spectacle, is tantamount to confirming the unfounded accusation.

The elder frowned, completely baffled. After a moment, he sighed and said, "You should prepare to go to Hong Kong to develop your business and split up Nine City Capital to cash out."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong was struck dumb, and exclaimed in astonishment, "Is it that serious?"

"From the big boss's perspective, Chongshan finally produced a genius young man, who almost fell into the hands of you, a powerful and domineering second-generation rich kid. Would he be happy? Besides, he has always had deep feelings for Chongshan," the elder said coldly.

Lin Dong said with a wry smile, "I was just watching the show!"

The elder slammed his hand on the table and scolded, "Watching the show? How old are you? You're paying for your childishness, you fool!"

Lin Dong immediately fell silent.

"And last time, you instigated Wen Sishun to kick down the door and crash right into Zhang Yuanqiao's iron plate, making a complete mess! If you continue to be so immature, you'll get yourself killed sooner or later." The elder's tone became exceptionally stern.

"Furthermore, don't think I don't know that you secretly colluded with Lin Ying to manipulate the interview review process of the top ten in the country! This matter has been exposed, and now you and that kid surnamed Zeng are covered in a mess. You can't clear your name, and you deserve it all."

Lin Dong, who was always full of vigor, twitched at the corner of his mouth, and his breathing became much lighter.

After a moment, he said somewhat reluctantly, "I just wanted Feng Xiao to come back and organize things, to make use of the remaining energy and connections of the Feng family... It's just that her willingness to work for that Zeng Wenjie makes me a little unhappy."

The elder said coldly, "Acting rashly will come at a price! Within a month, dismantle the nine cities and then send the money to Hong Kong. Otherwise, once the big boss makes his stance clear, it will be too late!"

Lin Dong also realized the seriousness of the situation and understood that it was a situation that could not be salvaged.

He never expected that watching the excitement would lead to his downfall.

That bastard Yan Xueyou deserves to be torn to pieces and executed by slow slicing!

Lin Dong left his godfather's office reluctantly, got back into his car, and felt completely weak and powerless.

The price of watching this spectacle is far too high. A huge smear has been thrown on them, and they can't wash it off. Now, they're actually going to split up and cash out Nine City Capital, which they've built up with so much effort, and send it to Hong Kong to develop...

Hong Kong is an international metropolis no less than Beijing. It's not exactly an exile, but it's clear that we're starting from scratch.

Moreover, Hong Kong has a more legitimate legal system, and Lin Dong would certainly not be as carefree and happy there as he is in the north.

Lin Dong made two phone calls to inquire about the situation, and then went to the entrance of the prison where high-ranking officials were held to wait.

After waiting for about an hour, I finally saw Feng Xiao.

He got out of the car, walked straight up, and said, "Feng Xiao!"

Hearing the voice, Feng Xiao stopped and turned to look at him, raising an eyebrow and asking with a half-smile, "What advice does Young Master Lin have?"

Lin Dong said, "I never expected you would actually cooperate with that bastard in lying!"

Feng Xiao didn't speak, her gaze sweeping over him.

Lin Dong smiled nonchalantly, deliberately pulling open his coat to reveal his clothes underneath, and said, "There's no recording equipment."

“Hehe…” Feng Xiao chuckled, put his hands in his pockets, and stared calmly at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong took a deep breath and asked, "Why did you refuse my invitation? Is this Zeng Wenjie really someone you trust and rely on so much?"

Feng Xiao thought for a moment and said, "The Feng family is a thing of the past. Even if I return to Yanjing, I will only be a puppet of you or the person behind you. If everything goes well, that's fine, but if it doesn't, I will definitely become a piece of toilet paper."

Lin Dong said, "You know how I feel about you, I would never do such a thing."

Feng Xiao chuckled and said, "I don't believe someone who used to shrink back when fighting people."

Lin Dong replied, "I made the phone call to call someone. Wasn't it me who settled that matter?"

“You handled it, but I was also at risk of being beaten up at the time,” Feng Xiao said with a smile.

Then, she shook her finger and said, "Zeng Wenjie wouldn't let me get beaten up. His first thought was to help me fight back, and then call people to resolve the matter."

Lin Dong was taken aback and had no reply.

"I will split and cash out Nine City Capital within a month, and then use the money to develop in Hong Kong," Lin Dong said.

"That's good. Everyone becomes more mature when they go through the process of starting from scratch." Feng Xiao smiled slightly and turned to walk into the prison.

Lin Dong didn't say anything more, sighed, and turned back to his car.

Feng Xiao submitted the documents and, after going through layers of checks, finally entered this most strictly managed prison. After sitting in the visiting room for about ten minutes, he saw his white-haired father.

Mr. Feng no longer possessed the same vigor he once had; all that remained was weariness and vicissitude. However, upon seeing Feng Xiao, a different kind of light finally appeared in his eyes.

"Xiaoxiao!" Mr. Feng looked at him with great excitement.

“Dad,” Feng Xiao called out calmly.

Mr. Feng sat down opposite her, his agitated emotions quickly subsiding. He then smiled bitterly and said, "You've suffered all these years, haven't you? I'm sorry."

Feng Xiao then said, "There's no need to apologize. You gave me the best a father should give his child. It's just that all the gifts that don't belong to us have already had their prices marked by fate."

Mr. Feng looked dejected and sobbed, "It's my fault that your mother and your brother died. It's all my fault."

Upon seeing his only daughter, Mr. Feng broke down emotionally.

Feng Xiao handed him a tissue, sighed, and said, "Don't cry. At your age, extreme joy or sorrow is bad for your health. I'm still looking forward to your release from prison so we can reunite."

Mr. Feng remained silent, then said, "That day probably won't come."

His wife died, his son died, and it's hard to say whether Feng Xiao escaped death through his own wisdom or whether the person behind the scenes showed mercy and left Feng's father with a memory.

Otherwise, given the dire situation back then, no matter how capable Feng Xiao was, he would have had no chance of escaping.

"How are you doing?" Mr. Feng asked.

"I'm doing well. I'm currently helping someone run a promising company. The business has expanded overseas, and we've started earning foreign exchange," Feng Xiao said with a smile.

Mr. Feng asked, "Have you found a good family for them?"

Feng Xiao said, "It's great. He's a bit like my brother. He'll always shield me from any trouble."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Feng breathed a sigh of relief, nodded slightly, and smiled, "Your judgment back then was accurate. That kid Lin Dong is unreliable; he always backs down whenever something happens."

Feng Xiao then said, "Yes, he also offended our boss, and now he has to run away to Hong Kong with his tail between his legs."

Mr. Feng was taken aback. He hadn't expected that Feng Xiao had found such a powerful boss who could drive Lin Dong from Beijing to Hong Kong.

That's a long way away, how could Lin Dong be so willing to accept that?

After the visiting hours ended, Feng Xiao stood up and said, "I will come to see you when I have time. You should focus on your rehabilitation and we should meet again someday."

Mr. Feng said, "Be careful on your journey."

Feng Xiao laughed and said, "Everything I do now is aboveboard, so there's nothing to be careful about."

She hugged her father and then left.

Although my father looks very weathered, and even has a full head of white hair at his age, his internal health is still good.

After meeting her father, whom she hadn't seen for many years, Feng Xiao felt a weight lifted from her heart and felt much more relaxed.

Then, seeing that it was still early, she hurried to the cemetery where her mother and brother were buried.

She bought her things at a shop outside the cemetery before going inside.

The two tombstones are next to each other.

Feng Xiao sighed, then wet the tombstone with mineral water and began wiping it with a cloth. As she wiped it, she softly murmured some words to reassure the two of them.

"You all have to pray for him, so he doesn't actually get hit back with a brick." Feng Xiao smiled helplessly as he walked away.

She accomplished the two most important things during her trip to Yanjing, and Lin Dong is now also accomplishing his most important task.

He convened a board meeting of The9 Capital and explained the plan to split The9 Capital up.

This caused an uproar, and everyone was puzzled.

But Lin Dong didn't say much. Jiucheng Capital was essentially his personal fiefdom, and no one could refuse his demands.

Xu Yuhuan's expression was one of shock, fear, and complex emotions. She truly hadn't expected such a dramatic change to occur overnight.

"President Yan and President Xu, please stay," Lin Dong said.

Yan Xueyou and Xu Yuhuan remained in the conference room. Then, Yan Xueyou asked with a fawning smile, "Young Master Lin, what is it?"

Lin Shao grabbed the ashtray from the table and slammed it directly onto Yan Xueyou's forehead. With a dull thud, Yan Xueyou fell to the ground, his head bleeding profusely.

The ashtray in Lin Dong's hand also bled and cracked, and he smashed it hard next to Yan Xueyou's head.

Xu Yuhuan was startled and quickly tried to calm him down, saying, "Young Master Lin, please calm down!"

Lin Dong pointed at Yan Xueyou, trembling all over, and said, "Damn it, you good-for-nothing idiot! It's all your fault. You said you were going to watch some excitement yesterday, and now you've ruined me."

"The whole world thinks that I had someone throw a brick at Zeng Wenjie!"

"This pile of shit just won't get clean no matter how much I wash it!"

Yan Xueyou lay on the ground, clutching his head in pain, but dared not cry out. He said through gritted teeth, "Young Master Lin, no matter how powerful Zeng Wenjie is, he's still a peasant. He can't compare to a nobleman like you... We'll find another opportunity to strangle him. Please calm down."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong flew into a rage and kicked Yan Xueyou in the stomach, sending him rolling three times before he stopped.

“Strangle him? Even the big boss takes care of him, how are you going to strangle him? If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be in this mess!” Lin Dong cursed.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He even felt that it was Yan Xueyou's harsh words to Zhang Yuanqiao yesterday that made Zhang Yuanqiao believe Zeng Wenjie's lies.

Xu Yuhuan stopped the enraged Lin Dong in time; otherwise, Yan Xueyou might have been beaten to death in the conference room.

Xu Yuhuan, as Feng Xiao's former sister-in-law, was a woman who had seen a lot of the world.

At this moment, she was filled with shock, because such a thing as a peasant overthrowing a nobleman was almost unprecedented in Yanjing!

Zeng Wenjie, this humble peasant, actually managed to do it, and even received special treatment from the big boss. Even if Lin Dong wanted to take revenge in the future, he would never dare to do so.

Thinking of this, she felt a mix of fear and helplessness. Her perspective was ultimately inferior to Feng Xiao's; Feng Xiao was much better at judging people.

Feng Xiaozhen returned to Yanjing to help Lin Dong build a career, and her life might not have been as comfortable as it is now.

She worked for Zeng Wenjie and even cleared her name of her past. Outsiders no longer viewed her with prejudice, but instead distinguished her from her family.

Xu Yuhuan felt a pang of envy when she thought of this.

"You handle the rest carefully, then transfer the money to the Hong Kong account. Get everything settled within a month!" Lin Dong said to Xu Yuhuan, then turned and left.

As he reached the door, he turned to look at Yan Xueyou and said coldly, "If you enjoy watching the show so much, then go and take responsibility for it yourself! I can't get away from this until I get an explanation."

Yan Xueyou curled up on the ground, trembling slightly.

He felt utterly hopeless...

He was just watching the show, but is he trying to land himself in jail?!

Now, everyone agrees that Lin Dong is the one who hurt Zeng Wenjie, and Lin Dong will definitely not admit to this crime. Therefore, someone has to step forward and give an explanation.

Without a doubt, Yen Hsueh-yau, who has a terrible relationship with Tsang Man-kit and has repeatedly criticized him in public, is the best choice.

Hearing Yan Xueyou's words, Xu Yuhuan felt a chill seep into her bones.

Feng Xiao was right. Lin Dong was an extremely self-centered person. On the surface, he was amiable and treated people like brothers, but in reality, he didn't respect anyone at all.

If she does something wrong, her fate might not be much better than Yan Xuehao's.

After Lin Dong left, Xu Yuhuan went up and helped Yan Xueyou up from the ground.

Yan Xueyou dared not complain, but silently wiped the blood off his head and then gave a bitter smile.

"Sigh!" Xu Yuhuan couldn't help but sigh heavily, and her eyes instantly turned pity as she looked at Yan Xueyou.

Yan Xueyou remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I didn't know things would develop to this point. If I had known, I wouldn't have asked Young Master Lin to come and watch the show yesterday."

Xu Yuhuan said, "It's too late to say anything now."

Yan Xueyou said, "I'm going to the hospital to treat my injury and take responsibility for this matter while I'm at it."

Xu Yuhuan asked, "How do we carry it?"

Yan Xueyou said, "Kneel down in front of him and beg for forgiveness. What else can we do? Make a scene and shift everyone's attention from Young Master Lin to me."

Xu Yuhuan looked at him with some sympathy and said, "You're so concerned about your reputation, can you really swallow this shame?"

Yan Xueyou chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "I know exactly what's better, saving face or risking my life. If Young Master Lin demolishes Nine City Capital, I couldn't afford to pay for it even with ten lives."

Xu Yuhuan nodded and said, "Take care of yourself."

After saying this, she turned and left the conference room to complete the task Lin Dong had given her.

To be honest, Yan Xueyou's situation made her feel a sense of shared sorrow, after all, she was also loyally working for Lin Dong.

Yan Xueyou was also very loyal, but now his fate is more tragic than anyone else's.

At that moment, many reporters from the media arrived at the hospital, all inquiring about Zeng Wenjie's injuries and also wanting to interview him about being hit by a brick.

Zeng Wenjie is now a popular internet celebrity; even top stars might not have as much popularity as him.

If we could get an interview with him, there would be no doubt that the news would become a sensation, and the reporter's value would rise accordingly.

Zeng Wenjie was also getting annoyed by the phone calls. Those unscrupulous media outlets were reporting nonsense, saying he was in a vegetative state, brain dead, and still in the ICU. They were simply outrageous in their pursuit of attention!

If Zeng Wenjie doesn't come out and refute the rumors soon, things could get really complicated. So, he gave interviews to several mainstream media outlets in his hospital room.

"Mr. Zeng, do you know who the person who attacked you is?" The reporter from Tencent News asked the first question.

Zeng Wenjie has the best relationship with penguins, so of course he takes priority in taking care of them.

After hearing this, Zeng Wenjie helplessly spread his hands and said, "I don't know who I offended. I was just diligently doing what I was supposed to do! I have no way to answer your question. I hope the police can catch the attacker soon."

"Mr. Zeng, there are rumors that this matter is related to your business competitors. What is your opinion on this?" A reporter from Huangyi News asked the same question.

Zeng Wenjie clicked his tongue and said, "Our competitors probably wouldn't do something so low-level."

Reporters lined up to ask questions, and Zeng Wenjie answered them all.

“My injuries haven’t fully healed yet, so I shouldn’t be giving interviews at this time. But unfortunately, I’ve been portrayed as dead by some media outlets. So, I’m doing this interview to let my friends who care about me know that I’m doing well and there’s no need to worry,” Zeng Wenjie said with a helpless smile.

These words elicited good-natured laughter from the reporters.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Yan Xueyou came in with bandages wrapped around his head. Without saying a word, he knelt down in front of Zeng Wenjie with a "plop"!
The reporters were taken aback, then raised their cameras and started snapping away.

Yan Xueyou was so frustrated he felt like he was going to vomit blood, but he still said earnestly, "President Zeng, I am so sorry. I was consumed by jealousy and did something so unethical."

These words surprised the reporters, yet they also felt that it made perfect sense.

Because Zeng Wenjie and Yan Xueyou have always had a bad relationship, and Yan Xueyou has often verbally attacked Zeng Wenjie.

However, Zeng Wenjie never responded to him, and his verbal attacks were often proven wrong by reality.

Zeng Wenjie asked in surprise, "What's going on, President Yan?"

Yan Xueyou cursed inwardly, but even though he knew it was shit, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and swallow it down!
“What happened yesterday was my doing. I’m sorry, I’m here to apologize to you! I’ve been tormented by my conscience all day. I really can’t understand why I, a person with higher education, would do such a heinous thing… Mr. Zeng, I’m here to apologize to you. Whether you forgive me or not doesn’t matter. I just want to be at peace with myself,” Yan Xueyou said.

Even his apologies were subtly directed at Zeng Wenjie, constantly talking about "conscience."

Conscience, well...

Zeng Wenjie's presence can be described as intermittent.

So, he didn't care.

Then, Zeng Wenjie said with a shocked expression, "President Yan...you! It was actually you! Although you were unfriendly to me, I always took your words as encouragement, and even felt that we were both enemies and friends...but you actually did such a terrible thing...I...sigh...I'm having a hard time judging!"

Yan Xueyou didn't have a video recording of everything that happened yesterday, otherwise, he would have released it on the spot to let the reporters see Zeng Wenjie's hypocritical and disgusting face!

The reporters never expected that their interview with Zeng Wenjie would uncover such a juicy story!

They surrounded Yan Xueyou and started asking him questions, but Yan Xueyou remained silent and stopped talking.

Just then, the police arrived and took Yan Xueyou away.

The reporters chased after them, and the ward became quiet.

Zeng Wenjie walked to the window and looked outside; it was very lively.

A cold smile appeared on his face. Lin Dong was truly ruthless, directly pushing Yan Xueyou out to take the blame!

However, to his surprise, Zhang Yuanqiao exerted such great force this time that Yan Xueyou came to his door and knelt down to apologize the very next day!

Yan Xueyou's foolish act of bringing Lin Dong to the hospital to witness Zeng Wenjie's embarrassment backfired, ultimately leading to his own downfall.

Sure enough, the old man was right: don't get involved in things you shouldn't be involved in!
After lying back in the hospital bed, Zeng Wenjie's phone rang. It was Zhang Yuanqiao calling.

"Secretary Zhang, hello!" Zeng Wenjie greeted politely.

"Xiao Zeng, I heard that Yan Xueyou came to your hospital room and knelt down to apologize, is that right?" Zhang Yuanqiao asked.

“Yes, they have already been taken away,” Zeng Wenjie said.

Zhang Yuanqiao said, "Now you can rest assured, right? With this example as a warning, no one will dare to touch you again."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Thank you, Secretary Zhang, for upholding justice for me. I'll treat you to dinner when I'm better. I hope you'll do me the honor."

Zhang Yuanqiao laughed and said, "Eating is a minor issue. Don't let this affect your ambition. I'm still waiting for you to fulfill those promises you made for the future!"

Zhang Yuanqiao quite admired Zeng Wenjie; he was sensible and articulate. The methods he discussed for managing online games on Teacher Sa's program had been seriously discussed by the higher-ups.

The key point is that it is basically feasible, and the results after its implementation are quite good.

Zeng Wenjie also set an example by immediately refunding all the money to the original payment method whenever a parent complained to customer service about their child making random recharges.

His actions have been highly appreciated by senior management, who are currently discussing whether Zeng Wenjie's code of conduct should be standardized and applied to major game companies.

Zeng Wenjie thought to himself that the real mastermind behind this incident, who had thrown the black brick at him, must be scared out of his wits.

He slapped him, and ended up killing Lin Dong and causing Nine City Capital to collapse. What a terrible and catastrophic disaster that was!
If this mastermind dares to slip up and get discovered, even without Zeng Wenjie's retaliation, the people at Nine City Capital will tear him apart to vent their anger.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but laugh, feeling that taking that black brick was actually quite worthwhile.
"Don't worry about the Top Ten. It's okay if you can't attend the awards ceremony," Zhang Yuanqiao reassured him.

"Thank you, Secretary Zhang. I will focus on recovering and try my best to attend the awards ceremony," Zeng Wenjie said.

After hanging up the phone, Zeng Wenjie felt incredibly refreshed.

That damn Nine City Capital had disgusted him several times, but since they were from the Beijing circle, he really didn't have any good ways to retaliate.

Now, one brick after another will be thrown at this disgusting thing, making him completely lose his life. Yan Xueyou, that idiot, will be prosecuted for intentional injury and will spend several years in jail.

I was enjoying myself when I suddenly felt a little hungry. I checked the time and realized it was lunchtime.

The door opened at that moment, and Qin Yixuan appeared in the doorway with a package of roast duck. She was dressed very elegantly and beautifully in a French style, which was refreshing and gave her a well-behaved girl vibe.

"Are you hungry? I brought you roast duck!" Qin Yixuan closed the door and came upstairs.

"I was just getting hungry, you've come at the perfect time," Zeng Wenjie said with a thumbs-up and a smile.

Qin Yixuan opened the roast duck, rolled it up, and fed it to the injured man.

Zeng Wenjie enjoyed Qin's gentleness with a clear conscience and asked, "Why did you come so early?"

Qin Yixuan put scallions and cucumber strips into the dough and said softly, "I asked my boss for leave to come see you, and he approved it."

Zeng Wenjie was surprised. He didn't expect Qin Yixuan to be so brave as to ask her boss for leave for this matter.
In his eyes, Qin Yixuan had always been a rather sophisticated and self-serving type, and also somewhat arrogant.

Indeed, one should not be too arbitrary in judging anyone.

Regardless of Qin Yixuan's intentions, he felt warmed by her kindness, so why bother digging deeper? Therefore, he planned to reward Qin Yixuan later.

Just then, Zeng Wenjie's phone rang; the contact name was Yuan Xiuqin.

He pressed the speakerphone button and tossed the phone aside, then heard Yuan Xiuqin ask with concern, "Boss, are you feeling any better today?"

Upon hearing that it was Yuan Xiuqin calling, Qin Yixuan immediately felt a surge of desire to speak directly.

But she swallowed the words back.

She realized that such behavior was impolite and might displease Zeng Wenjie.

Zeng Wenjie glanced at Qin Yixuan, who seemed hesitant to speak, before saying, "I'm feeling better. My head doesn't hurt as much anymore. Thank you for your concern."

Yuan Xiuqin said, "Oh dear, it's only right that I care about my boss! Why don't I just take two days off and fly to Yanjing to take care of you?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "No need, Senior Sister Qin is taking care of me. She bought me roast duck, and it tastes good."

Qin Yixuan's face immediately lit up with a happy smile, and she deliberately dipped a little more sweet sauce into Zeng Wenjie's mouth.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xiuqin exclaimed in surprise, "Qin Yixuan is here?"

"I'm here. I took a day off to take care of him," Qin Yixuan replied immediately.

Yuan Xiuqin said, "Oh, it's good that you're here. I can rest assured knowing someone is taking care of him."

Qin Yixuan is thinking, what kind of relationship do you have? What makes you think you can trust me? What gives you the right to say such things to me!
"Stop worrying about things that don't concern you. Just focus on your work. We're having roast duck. We'll talk later," Qin Yixuan replied calmly.

Zeng Wenjie said, "I'm not going to talk about it anymore, I'm eating."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yixuan's work efficiency increased significantly, thinking that Yuan Xiuqin would definitely be so angry that she wouldn't be able to sleep all night.

When Yuan Xiuqin came to Yanjing on a business trip last time, Qin Yixuan treated her with high-level hospitality, which made Yuan Xiuqin, who did not yet have much savings, very envious. She then subtly asked where she had earned so much extra money.

Qin Yixuan, of course, did not mention that it was a supplementary card given to her by Zeng Wenjie, and simply brushed the matter off, but she was secretly overjoyed.

Yuan Xiuqin would often show off her superiority, talking about how much salary she earned at Game Science and which business tycoon she had met that day.

"Is it good?" Qin Yixuan asked.

"It's delicious, and it tastes even better since you made it," Zeng Wenjie praised.

Qin Yixuan was delighted to hear this. Zeng Wenjie rarely offered her emotional support, so hearing such words always made her feel happy.

While wrapping the roast duck, Qin Yixuan asked cautiously, "When I arrived, I saw someone being taken away. Wasn't that Yan Xueyou?"

Zeng Wenjie nodded and said, "He just came to my ward, knelt down and apologized, admitting that he was the one who did what happened yesterday."

Qin Yixuan was taken aback, then said bitterly, "Serves him right, this kind of person should be arrested! I really hope he gets a life sentence so he can never get out."

Zeng Wenjie chuckled upon hearing this. If Yan Xueyou were truly sentenced to life imprisonment, he would definitely be one of the most wronged people in the world.

Watching a spectacle, and it turned into a life sentence?

This guy must be so desperate he wants to die!
After Zeng Wenjie finished eating, Qin Yixuan rolled up some roast duck and ate it herself.

She is much more sensible than before.

"Wenjie, you're amazing! Even Yan Xueyou has fallen for you! From now on, there probably won't be many people in Beijing's social circle who will dare to mess with you." Qin Yixuan said in an admiring tone as she ate the roast duck in small bites.

"I hope so," Zeng Wenjie said.

Many people already know that Luo Hui has taken over his hands, and now, his illustrious record has been further enhanced by the addition of Nine City Capital.

To outsiders, how is this any different from the King of Hell?
Currently, the person most afraid of him should be the mastermind behind the black brick incident!
Thinking about this, Zeng Wenjie found it amusing. Human calculations are no match for fate. His self-inflicted injury plan was useless, while others had given him a helping hand, and with remarkable effect.

His plan, at most, would only cause Lin Dong a lot of headaches; it was basically impossible to dismantle Nine City Capital.

But this black brick was directly smashed by Nine City Capital, and Yan Xueyou was implicated.

After Qin Yixuan finished eating, she sat on the bed and fawned over Zeng Wenjie, giving him massages and such.

"You must be tired after a long day of work, go back and rest." Zeng Wenjie waved to Qin Yixuan as he saw that it was getting late.

"I can stay and take care of you!" Qin Yixuan said confidently. "Besides, I don't find taking care of you tiring."

Zeng Wenjie shook his head and smiled, "Be a good boy and listen to me. I'll feel sorry for you if you're too tired."

Qin Yixuan believed her and left happily. After walking out, she turned back and said with a smile, "I'll come see you again tomorrow! If you need anything, you can send me a message or call me anytime. I'll be there whenever you need me."

She waved goodbye before leaving.

Zeng Wenjie, lying in bed, called Tang Xi and said with a smile, "Sister Tang."

Tang Xi said, "Hmm? I'm in Japan today and didn't have time to come see you."

Zeng Wenjie said, "In the afternoon, Yan Xueyou came to my ward and knelt down to apologize in front of a bunch of reporters, taking the blame for the incident of throwing bricks at me."

Tang Xi said, "Really? Lin Dong is really ruthless. He threw away his brother who had served him for so many years."

Zeng Wenjie then said, "This can't be considered a brother; at most, he's just a lackey. Don't insult that word."

Tang Xi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Nine Cities Capital will be dismantled within a month, and Lin Dong will be exiled to Hong Kong. Can you rest easy now?"

Zeng Wenjie gave an awkward smile and said, "Was it Sister Tang who gave us a helping hand?"

Tang Xi then said, "Actually, after Zhang Yuanqiao warned Lin Dong last time, they didn't dare to do anything to you anymore. But since you insisted on getting revenge, I helped you out a little."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Thank you, Sister Tang."

Tang Xi said, "No need to be polite, just continue to help me avoid pitfalls in the future. However, Huan Tai... is it really not worth investing in? It's been doing very well lately!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "It's not worth it. Sister Tang, you're rich enough. There's no need to ruin your reputation for such a small amount of money."

Tang Xi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll contact you again when I get back from Japan."

Not long after he hung up the phone, Feng Xiao came to see him.

"You seem to be in a good mood. Did you see your father?" Zeng Wenjie asked.

"I saw him," Feng Xiao said casually.

Zeng Wenjie nodded and said, "It's good that we met. Nothing is more important than seeing a loved one."

Feng Xiao walked to the bedside and sat down, saying, "Your matter has caused a great uproar in the city. Lin Dong is completely finished. He probably never expected to be defeated by you in this way."

Zeng Wenjie then asked, "How would you like to fall into my hands?"

Feng Xiao chuckled and said, "Isn't it good that I got beaten to a pulp by you because I was jealous of you?"

Zeng Wenjie rolled his eyes, then suddenly realized, "Lin Dong likes you?"

“I pursued her before, who knows?” Feng Xiao replied casually.

"Looks like you really are a treasure," Zeng Wenjie said.

"Of course!" Feng Xiao raised her delicate chin, looking smug.

Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "I guess I've avenged you, right? How are you going to thank me?"

Feng Xiao began to comb her long hair with a half-smile, then bit the hair tie on her wrist.

Zeng Wenjie was amused by her and said, "It's a pity you weren't there. As soon as Yan Xueyou walked in, he knelt down here, and a bunch of reporters went crazy taking pictures. That scene was so satisfying to watch!"

Feng Xiao was taken aback, then laughed and said, "He was just a pitiful sacrifice, which is one of the reasons why I was unwilling to return to Yanjing to work with Lin Dong."

Zeng Wenjie nodded and said, "Lin Dong is indeed quite cold-blooded and ruthless. In order to get away safely, he made Yan Xueyou take the blame. If it were someone else, the effect would be slightly less, but the attitude would be clear and everyone would accept it."

Feng Xiao leaned closer to him and said, "Not everyone can be as loyal and righteous as our little Zeng brother! Sister Zeng Mi was afraid you wouldn't tell the truth, so she even called me to confirm how serious your injuries were."

Zeng Wenjie smiled but didn't reply.

"She finally caught me off guard and gave me a thorough dressing-down," Feng Xiao sneered.

Zeng Mi is the type of person who is bad at games but loves to play. She has never won a single battle against Feng Xiao, yet she always goes on to provoke her with high spirits.

Feng Xiao gently held Zeng Wenjie's hand and said, "My dad asked me if I was doing well, and I said I was doing very well, so he was relieved."

Zeng Wenjie said, "He will definitely continue to trust you in the future, and when he comes out and you are reunited, you will surely have regained your brilliance through your own abilities!"

Feng Xiao tightened her fingers a few times, then said firmly, "Yes!"

But she also knew that her ability to return to Yanjing so openly and visit her father was all thanks to Zeng Wenjie.
