Urban Evil Suppression: Incorporating the Stone Hard Template

Zhou Zhen, on the other end of the phone, was completely at a loss for how to express his inner emotions.

Past lives, reincarnation, double suicide... these are all stories that only exist in myths and legends.

It actually happened to someone he knew, completely overturning his decades-long preconceived notions.

The concept of reincarnation, in particular, shocked him like never before.

After all, there's reincarnation, so what about the underworld? What about the gods in heaven?

After thinking about all this, a strange sense of panic instantly enveloped him.

After all, who can guarantee that they have never done anything wrong in this life?

Especially for someone like him, the head of a wealthy family, who has been supporting the vast Zhou family...

After all these years of hard work, how many underhanded and inhumane methods has he used?

I used to believe only in the idea that the victor is king and the loser is villain, and I never considered karma or retribution.

But now?

After learning about the real existence of retribution in the underworld, he personally experienced what fear truly meant.

The father and daughter talked for a long time before they finally managed to temporarily suppress his fear.

Then the two got down to business, mainly the matter that Zhou Mei had asked him to investigate.

Zhou Mei held up her phone, her face no longer showing the softness it once had.

His eyes held only a cool, serious expression: "Dad, have you found any news about Feng Bin?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhen temporarily suppressed his inner unease and regained his usual composure:

"Xiao Mei, you need to think this through carefully. Are you really determined to compete with Lianxin?"

Never act rashly or impulsively when it comes to feelings. Are you sure what you feel for Ling Feng is love?

Zhou Mei sneered: "Dad! Don't you want a son-in-law like Ling Feng?"

"Uh..." Zhou Zhen was stumped by the question. To be honest, he would be laughing in his dreams if he had a son-in-law like this.

Looking at the elite circles in Shanghai today, who doesn't envy that old guy Chu Tianxiong?

Didn't you see how the Chu family has become incredibly successful since they got such a son-in-law?

And then there's that old bastard Chu Tianxiong, always at celebrity banquets and high-society gatherings...

At least eight out of ten sentences revolve around his son-in-law; he's incredibly proud of himself.

While one might admire such behavior, actually asking him to scheme against someone to steal a son-in-law is...

Zhou Zhen's heart was still filled with many concerns! Because this was a gamble!

And the entire Zhou family was gambling with it!

Especially if the plan fails, the consequences... would be absolutely unimaginable!

He didn't want to become the second Ling Hai, targeted by all the wealthy families in Shanghai, and ultimately end up with nothing.

That's why Zhou Zhen was somewhat speechless when Zhou Mei asked him this question.

Zhou Mei was aware of her father's concerns, and the sharpness in her eyes softened slightly.

After taking a deep breath, his tone was no longer as forceful as before:

"Dad, I know you're worried! But your worries are completely unnecessary."

Although I am scheming against Lianxin, I would not be foolish enough to confront her directly.

The reason I asked you to help me investigate Feng Bin's whereabouts is...

The main purpose was to use Feng Bin to disrupt the relationship between Lianxin and Lingfeng.

My job was simply to provide information to Feng Bin; the rest was up to him.

Zhou Zhen fell silent again on the other end of the phone, which Zhou Mei heard clearly.

The "thump-thump" sound of her fingers tapping on the table clearly indicated that her father was weighing the pros and cons.

Just as her patience was about to run out, the sound came through the receiver again:

Do you think Feng Bin is a useful person? After all, that incident happened several years ago.

How much weight do you think he still holds in Lianxin's heart?

And another thing... you sent him the message, are you sure he'll come back?

Aren't you afraid he might do something outrageous and implicate our Zhou family...?

"Don't worry about that!"

At this moment, Zhou Mei was completely different from usual; she had lost her charming and lively demeanor.

All that remained was coldness and resolve, and her tone carried an air of absolute certainty:

"Feng Bin holds an exceptionally important place in Chu Lianxin's heart."

He was not only Lianxin's earliest first love, but also the unrequited love she had.

If it weren't for the fact that four years ago, Feng Bin was forced by the Cheng family to go overseas, the two of them would have been together long ago.

Lianxin's personality changed drastically after Feng Bin left, and she became a delinquent!

If she really forgot Feng Bin so quickly, how could she still be so secretive about that relationship?

Especially... I also know that she still keeps a necklace that Feng Bin gave her back then!

After a brief pause, Zhou Mei's icy voice rang out again:

"Besides, Feng Bin, he'll come back! When he was forced to leave back then..."

He vowed to make all those who had wronged him pay the price.

And pity was the deepest thorn buried in his heart, because he always felt that...

The person he wronged the most was her, so he would come back sooner or later.

And all I've done... has only brought this day to come sooner.

At this point, Zhou Mei's tone clearly carried a hint of barely perceptible excitement:

"Hate will not disappear with the passage of time, and love will not die out without a reason."

This complex mix of love and hate is what makes anger so easily ignited.

If I were to pass on Lianxin's news to Feng Bin, telling him that Lianxin has someone she likes,

Given his stubborn personality, do you think he'll be content with that? Do you think he can sit still?

The thought of Feng Bin's return made Zhou Mei tremble uncontrollably.

"As long as Feng Bin appears, Chu Lianxin will definitely not be able to remain unmoved."

After all, the two of them had loved each other wholeheartedly back then.

Old feelings are the easiest thing to cause unnecessary trouble.

I don't expect Feng Bin to shake the relationship between the two of them; as long as Ling Feng has a thorn in his side, that's enough.

Once a rift develops between the two sides, that will be my opportunity to strike!

After Zhou Zhen heard these words, the tapping on the table on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped.

After a moment's hesitation, his voice rang out again: "Xiao Mei, back then, Feng Bin..."

"Dad!" Zhou Mei interrupted Zhou Zhen before he could finish speaking.

"What happened to Feng Bin back then has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

"Alright!" Zhou Zhen smacked his lips, not really saying anything more.

He had already given her the reminders he needed to; after all, his daughter had never been easy to deal with.

"If you say there's no such thing, then there's no such thing! I'm too lazy to ask any more questions, but your hands and feet must be clean."

I'll send you Feng Bin's message later; you can handle it yourself!

"Okay, thank you, Dad!" Zhou Mei hung up the phone with a smile.

Not long after, a file appeared on the still-lit phone screen...
