Seeing that his son had finished speaking, Zheng Hongye took over the conversation, "So, Dad, it's a good thing that Qiu Yi broke off her engagement with the Liang family!"

"What happened at Yunxi Residence last night was truly enormous. If the engagement hadn't been dissolved beforehand, our Zheng family might have been implicated by the Liang family!"

"We still don't know how many powerful families in Beidu were involved in the Yunxi Residence incident last night. We must be more careful when dealing with them in the future, lest we be unwittingly dragged into it..."

"Why the hell didn't you say so sooner!" Zheng Hongyin cursed anxiously, his hands moving non-stop as he dialed Butler Zhou's number again and again.

Zheng Hongye's words drifted into his ears at that moment, like a tight headband, making him even more irritable.

Ever since he learned what happened at Yunxi Residence last night, he has been trying to call Butler Zhou, but he still hasn't been able to get through.

"Brother, you're not right about that!"

Zheng Hongye hadn't had enough of his venting yet, "How could I not say it? I've said it more than once, and I've repeatedly advised you not to send anyone to Yunqi Residence, but you wouldn't listen!"

"I told you, and Shaoqing said it too, there's nothing we can do to stop you. What if Steward Zhou has already made his move at Yunxi Residence?!"

"Brother, how many men did you send Steward Zhou with you?"

"If the Xuan'an Bureau personnel or Qin Ge kill them all on the spot, that would be fine. But if they capture them alive and then claim they were acting on your orders, then it'll be impossible to clear their names!"

"I'm also very sad that Zhan Ming got hurt. Qin Ge is indeed too arrogant, but he has the right to be arrogant!"

"As far as I know..."

"Can you shut the hell up first?!" Zheng Hongyin said angrily.

Jung Se-hoon's face was also gloomy, and he almost had a heart attack from anger.

He estimated that what his son Zheng Hongye and grandson Zheng Shaoqing had just said had reduced his remaining lifespan by at least one-third!

Zheng Shaoqing was holding back his laughter so hard he almost hurt himself. He finally got to show off in front of Zheng Hongyin. This was the first time in his life he thought his father was so handsome!

He felt it was time to do this a long time ago. Pretending was too tiring. His grandfather's heart was already turned to the Pacific Ocean. How could he expect them to be magnanimous?

Everyone knows the unspoken agreement, but each has their own needs, and no one wants to expose it.

"Hongyin, calm down!"

Zheng Shixun spoke up, "Hongye, Shaoqing, didn't you say earlier that Qin Ge and Qiu Yi are both at Yunqi Residence?"

"She and Qin Ge have a close relationship. If Butler Zhou really breaks into Yunxi Residence, just have her put in a good word for him."

"Just say that Steward Zhou and his group went to find Qin Ge and had no other purpose. What happened at the Cloud Peak Restaurant is the best proof of that!"

"That's right!" Zheng Hongyin slapped his forehead. I was so confused in my haste. How could I not have thought of that?

"Hongye, no, second brother, you need to contact Qiuyi right away and tell her!"

Seeing that Zheng Hongye remained unmoved, his expression instantly darkened again. "What, do I have to beg you to help?"

"We're all family, how could you just stand by and watch me die? Were you hoping something would happen to me all along?"

"Brother, what are you saying? I'll definitely help if I can!" Zheng Hongye calmly took out his phone. "But Qiu Yi has quite a temper!"

"She still resents us for forcing her into an engagement with Liang Chen from the Liang family, so my words may not carry weight."

"She wouldn't dare!" Zheng Shixun slammed his cane heavily on the floor several times. "Tell her that once this matter is settled, her marriage will be her own decision, and we elders will not interfere!"

Zheng Shaoqing's expression was strange. "I actually hope you interfere, so I can see how Qin Ge deals with you!"

No sooner had Zheng Hongye dialed the number than one of his bodyguards rushed in, tripping and scrambling as he scrambled to his feet, shouting, "Something terrible has happened!"

"People are coming! People, all of them, armed with guns, charging in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of heavily armed men filed in and surrounded Zheng Hongyin and everyone else in an instant.

A cold-faced man strode over. "We are from the Xuan'an Bureau. Which one of you is Zheng Hongyin?"

His gaze quickly locked onto Zheng Hongyin. "If I'm not mistaken, it's you, isn't it?"

"Not long ago, Zhou Laifu led a group of people to forcibly break into Yunqi Residence, intending to commit evil deeds, but they were caught on the spot!"

"According to Zhou Laifu's statement, he was acting on Zheng Hongyin's orders. Come with us!"

Zheng Hongyin's heart sank. He forced a smile and said, "Sir, this is a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"

"I sent Zhou Laifu to Yunqi Residence because I heard that my niece Zheng Qiuyi has a new boyfriend. I have always doted on this niece since she was a child, and as an elder, I am naturally worried about her."

"That's why I asked the housekeeper to invite my niece and her boyfriend over, just to give her some feedback. I didn't ask them to do anything else!"

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. Everyone here can testify to this. Besides, if you want to know if what I said is true, just ask my niece!"

"Misunderstanding?" The pale-faced man sneered. "Does a simple meeting, a screening, really require inviting someone so late at night?"

"If an elder wants to see a younger person, do they still need to send someone to invite them?"

"Does hiring someone require bringing so many experts? Do they need to scale the wall to get in?"

"I don't understand your wealthy families, but I know common sense!"

""

"If you have something to say, come back with us and we'll talk about it!"

His gaze swept over the crowd. "Until this matter is thoroughly investigated, none of you from the Zheng family are allowed to leave this place. Otherwise, you will be shot on the spot!"

Then, with a wave of his hand, he said, "Take him away!"

The man had Zheng Hongyin handcuffed and taken away.

They left a group of people to control the Zheng family, confiscating all communication equipment and blocking signals within the Zheng family's territory!

"You..." Zheng Shixun watched helplessly as his son was taken away, and collapsed from grief and anger.

"Grandpa!" Zheng Shaoqing rushed over quickly. "Grandpa, don't panic!"

"At least you can't die now, you're still useful..."

He suddenly stopped talking halfway through his sentence. Oh no, in his haste, he accidentally blurted out the truth.

Zheng Shaoqing looked around, wondering if no one else had heard him.

"Shaoqing, what did you just say?" Zheng Shixun's voice rang out, and he slowly opened his eyes, as if he had been brought back to life by Zheng Shaoqing's anger.

Zheng Shaoqing was startled. "Grandpa, you're not dead..."

"No, no, I was just flustered and worried about your safety, Grandpa, so I was a bit incoherent."

"Grandpa, I'm so glad you're alright. Don't worry, Uncle will be fine too."

Zheng Shixun ignored his filial grandson and looked at Zheng Hongye, "Hongye, tell me the truth, did you foresee what would happen tonight?"

"It's clearly a misunderstanding. Qiu Yi is also at Yunxi Residence. If she just opens her mouth to explain, the people from Xuan'an Bureau won't easily come to the Zheng family!"

"Tell me, did you and Qiuyi agree to deliberately not explain?"
