Brother, just how powerful is our family?

In the spacious living room of the manor, the afternoon sun shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the soft carpet, creating a warm dappled light.

Qin Yao sat on a comfortable sofa, her phone propped up on the coffee table in front of her, and was doing her usual live stream.

"Did you all see this vase? It was handmade by local artisans, and the patterns on it are all hand-carved..."

Qin Yao was enthusiastically showing her fans the handicrafts in the manor, her tone light and cheerful, "In Black Continent, many handicrafts still maintain a very primitive state, but it is precisely this primitiveness that gives them a unique beauty..."

The live stream showed 128 million viewers, and the chat was scrolling rapidly.

"Yaoyao is now a cultural ambassador for Montenegro, haha!"

"This vase is really beautiful, would you sell it?"

"By the way, when is Yao Yao coming back to China? I want to pick her up at the airport!"

"I want to see Yao Yao! Can Feng Ge show his face?"

Seeing the comments on the screen, Qin Yao turned to Qin Feng, who was sitting not far away: "Brother, the fans want to see you!"

Qin Feng was reviewing documents on his tablet when he heard this. He looked up and smiled at the camera: "Hello everyone."

These three simple words instantly caused the live stream to explode with excitement:

"Hello, Brother Feng!"

"Ahhh, Feng-ge is so handsome!"

"Does Brother Feng need a younger sister? The kind who's gone to college and can eat well!"

"Brother Feng, don't be so rigid about gender! A male sister is fine too!"

"The people upstairs are so slutty..."

Qin Feng was amused by these comments.

He put down his tablet, walked over and sat down next to his sister: "You netizens are all so eloquent, there are so many talented people here."

The chat became even more lively after Qin Feng joined the live stream.

A variety of questions arose, some asking about life in Africa, some about the business of the Universal Group, and others about the previous winners.

Qin Feng answered selectively, his tone relaxed and casual, as if chatting with a friend.

Just then, footsteps came from the stairs.

Li Siyu came down from the second floor. She looked somewhat restless, pacing along the edge of the living room. She tried to speak several times, but then swallowed her words.

Qin Yao noticed her unusual behavior: "Siyu, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Li Siyu hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "No...it's nothing."

"Just say what's on your mind." Qin Yao beckoned her over. "We're all family, no need to be shy."

Li Siyu then slowly walked over and sat down on the sofa.

Her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had just been crying.

"What happened?" Qin Yao asked with concern.

"Just now... my parents called." Li Siyu's voice was low and trembling slightly. "My cousin... my aunt's daughter, something happened to her..."

The viewers in the live stream also heard this conversation, and the chat slowed down instantly as everyone wanted to hear what was going on.

"Your cousin? Isn't she in college?" Qin Yao remembered that Li Siyu had mentioned that she had a cousin who was a junior in Wuhan and had excellent grades.

"Yeah, she's a junior in college, on summer vacation..." Li Siyu's voice lowered even more, "She and some classmates said they were going to find summer jobs, but... but they got tricked into going to northern Myanmar..."

"Northern Myanmar?!" Qin Yao exclaimed in surprise, "That place known for telecom fraud?"

Li Siyu nodded, tears starting to fall: "My aunt's family received news today that my cousin is in their hands, and they want a ransom of 500,000 yuan... If they don't pay, then... then..."

She couldn't continue, so she covered her face and started crying.

The live stream chat exploded instantly:

"Holy crap! Telecom fraud in northern Myanmar!"

"It's over, such a beautiful girl ended up in a place like that..."

"We can't pay the ransom! Even if we do, they might not release him!"

"Did you call the police? You should have!"

"If calling the police were effective, northern Myanmar would have been gone long ago..."

"Siyu, don't cry, let's think of something!"

Qin Yao quickly comforted Li Siyu while looking at her brother.

Qin Feng's expression turned serious, and he gestured for Li Siyu to continue.

Li Siyu sobbed as she took out her phone and pulled out a photo.

The photo shows a smiling girl with long, flowing hair, delicate features, and a sunny and energetic appearance.

The background is a university campus, and she is wearing an academic gown; the photo was probably taken while attending some event.

"This is my cousin, Lin Xiaoyu..." Li Siyu handed the phone to Qin Yao. "She was a very good student, and she was originally preparing for graduate school... how could this happen..."

Qin Yao took the phone, and Qin Feng also leaned over to take a look.

The girl was indeed very beautiful, with sparkling eyes; she was clearly the kind of young person full of expectations for the future.

"Did your aunt call the police?" Qin Feng asked.

"We reported it, but the police said it's a cross-border case, very complicated, and will take time..." Li Siyu wiped away her tears, "And even if we were to take action, it would have to go through diplomatic channels, with layers of approval... I don't know how long that will take... My aunt is almost going crazy with worry..."

The chat in the live stream also started to buzz with discussion:

"These kinds of things are really difficult for the police to handle..."

"That place in northern Myanmar is a lawless area, so even if the police go there, it's useless."

"We have no choice but to pay the ransom, even though the chances are slim."

"Even if you hand over the money, they might not release you and might continue to extort you."

"Such a beautiful girl, in a place like that... I can't even imagine..."

As Li Siyu watched the comments, tears welled up in her eyes again: "My parents told me to be careful in Africa, saying they couldn't help my cousin... But... but she's my cousin..."

As she spoke, her eyes unconsciously glanced at Qin Feng, then quickly looked away.

Her hesitant expression made it clear to anyone what she was thinking—she wanted to ask for help, but was too embarrassed to speak up.

Qin Yao naturally noticed it too.

She turned to her brother and whispered, "Brother...do you have a solution?"

The viewers in the live stream held their breath, waiting for Qin Feng's answer.

Qin Feng was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Northern Myanmar... that place is indeed very troublesome."

Li Siyu's eyes dimmed.

But Qin Feng's next words rekindled her hope: "However, getting someone out of trouble isn't that difficult."

This statement immediately caused an uproar in the live stream chat:

"Brother Feng is awesome!"

"I knew Brother Feng would have a way!"

"But Brother Feng's influence is in Africa, and northern Myanmar is thousands of miles away..."

"The person upstairs doesn't understand. The real big shots have global influence."

"Are you kidding me? Even the government has a headache dealing with places like northern Myanmar, how could an individual possibly have a solution?"

"Exactly, although Brother Feng is very powerful in Africa, it's different in northern Myanmar."

A divergence of opinions emerged in the live chat. Some believed in Qin Feng's abilities, arguing that since he dared to speak up, he must have a solution.

Some people questioned whether Qin Feng was exaggerating, since Africa and Southeast Asia are thousands of miles apart, making it difficult for his influence to extend there.
