Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

at this time,

In the spacious living room of the Qin family in Beijing.

Just as Qin Hanwu was about to order his men to bring Zhang Dafa after hearing Liu Yiran's words, a Taoist priest in his fifties or sixties hurriedly walked in from outside.

The Taoist priest, sweating profusely and looking grave, said, "Master, I just received news that Qin Guang has been arrested by the branch police."

Qin Hanwu frowned and asked, "Is the information from the advisor reliable?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest was Qin's advisor, named Qing Xuanzi. He was once a wandering Taoist priest who met Qin Hanwu by chance more than 20 years ago.

At that time, Emperor Wu of Qin Han was frustrated and felt that his talents had nowhere to be used. After having a long chat with Qing Xuanzi, he was impressed by Qing Xuanzi's eloquent speech and immediately regarded Qing Xuanzi as a celestial being. He immediately hired Qing Xuanzi as his advisor at a high salary to offer him advice and guidance.

Believe it or not, with Qing Xuanzi's full assistance, Qin Hanwu and Deng Zhi secretly joined forces to defeat their cousin, Qin Hanwen, the head of the Qin family at the time, and firmly controlled the Qin family's assets. They also managed to drag their beautiful and flirtatious cousin's wife into bed, becoming true winners in life.

Qing Xuanzi continued, "Patriarch, the information is absolutely reliable. It was Ling Xiao from the Criminal Investigation Brigade who personally led the arrest. In addition, I also learned that Meng Jianping was taken away by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the mastermind behind it is Xiao Zhan."

After listening, Qin Hanwu frowned and looked at Liu Yiran, asking, "Sister-in-law, what do you think we should do about this?"

Liu Yiran gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Zhan, I will never forgive you! You brought down my Liu family and sent my father and brother to prison. I, Liu Yiran, will definitely avenge this."

Liu Yiran is the eldest daughter of the Liu family. Her father is Liu Shiyuan, who is now under investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Qin Hanwu said unhappily, "Sister-in-law, Xiao Zhan is a mad dog who bites anyone he sees. We'd better not provoke him now, and we should try to keep Xiao Zhan from noticing our Qin family. Otherwise, once Xiao Zhan sets his sights on us, we'll be lucky to escape with our lives."

"Take off!"

Liu Yiran stood up, her once pretty and charming face now somewhat ferocious, and said sternly, "Then let Qin Guang shut up completely, sever all ties with the Qin family, and that Zhang Dafa must also be physically eliminated."

Qin Hanwu looked at Qing Xuanzi and said, "Master, will you do as your sister-in-law says?"

After a moment's thought, Qing Xuanzi said, "Solving this shouldn't be difficult, but I'm afraid Xiao Zhan has already discovered that Qin Guang is related to the Qin family and has secretly prepared a backup plan. If we make a move now, we'll fall right into Xiao Zhan's trap."

"That would completely expose us."

Qin Hanwu frowned and asked, "Master, do you have any good ideas?"

Qing Xuanzi raised an eyebrow and said, "Patriarch, I think we should remain unchanged and wait and see how Xiao Zhan makes his next move. As the saying goes, when water comes, we should cover it with earth; when soldiers arrive, we should meet them with generals."

Qing Xuanzi paused and then said, "Before a conflict breaks out with Xiao Zhan, we must make full preparations and cut off all channels that are detrimental to us."

Qin Hanwu frowned and asked, "A channel that is unfavorable to us?"

"Master, you might as well speak plainly."

Qing Xuanzi glanced at Liu Yiran first, and then said, "For example, businesses that can attract public attention and become hot topics, such as live-streaming e-commerce, should be temporarily suspended. In other words, minimize contact with the outside world, avoid attracting attention, reduce exposure, or to put it bluntly, lie low for the time being."

Upon hearing Qing Xuanzi's words, Liu Yiran's face darkened, and she said, "That's impossible. I have more than a dozen live-streaming sales sessions scheduled every day. I have dozens of live-streaming hosts under my command, plus two or three hundred people for logistics and support. Do you know how much money we lose if we stop broadcasting for a day?"

"The penalty fees alone could bankrupt me."

Qin Hanwu said in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law, you need to understand the situation. What time is it? Losing some money is a small matter. If Xiao Zhan targets us, we're finished."

"snort!"

Liu Yiran rolled her eyes and said, "I don't care."

Then he turned and left...

Qing Xuanzi looked at Qin Hanwu without any emotion and said, "Patriarch, hesitation only leads to trouble. A true man must not be soft-hearted in his actions."

Qin Hanwu's sinister gaze lingered in the direction Liu Yiran had just left, and he remained silent for a long time.

at the same time,

After Xiao Zhan and his four companions had eaten and drunk their fill, they left the local restaurant.

It was already past 11 p.m.

The local restaurant never serves late-night snacks, so there weren't many customers at this hour. Boss Qin said to his wife, "Pack up and close up, I have things to do."

The proprietress didn't ask him what was wrong, she just nodded silently and said, "Be careful."

Boss Qin nodded and said, "Understood."

Then he walked toward a rickety bread cart parked in the night.

After ten minutes,

The bread truck was parked near a residential area.

Boss Qin got out of the car and looked around. In the dead of winter, apart from the dim streetlights, there were few pedestrians on the road. A night wind blew, and a few withered leaves fluttered down from the trees and landed at Boss Qin's feet...

Boss Qin took out a cigarette, lit it, and silently puffed on it, his eyes warily searching for something in the night.

Finally, I finished the cigarette.

The surrounding environment remained unchanged.

Boss Qin then walked towards the residential area across the street.

A few minutes later,

Boss Qin opened the door to an apartment upstairs. The room was brightly lit, with thick curtains preventing the light from leaking out.

In the three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment, more than a dozen computers were running, and more than a dozen people were busy in front of them.

Someone called out, "The boss is here!"

Boss Qin asked, "Has the target started streaming?"

There are seven or eight matches currently being broadcast live.

Boss Qin walked over and took a look, then said in a deep voice, "We can start now."

"clear."

"Crackling and popping!"

Immediately, the sound of typing began to fill more than a dozen computers.

at the same time,

Liu Yiran sat in her office, while several live streams were in full swing in the next room.

Because her contracted livestreamers are all big influencers with millions or tens of millions of followers, today's sales were as booming as ever.

Liu Yiran sipped her coffee elegantly while watching the livestreaming host on the monitor enthusiastically speaking jargon.

Liu Yiran tapped a few keys on the keyboard and glanced at the earnings from the previous live streams, her eyes immediately lighting up. The total had already exceeded 58 million, and the amount was growing rapidly.

Liu Yiran could hardly believe her eyes. She rubbed them and looked again. Wow, it had already surpassed 60 million.

He muttered to himself, "Was today's live stream really that good?"

Liu Yiran was very happy. At this rate of growth, the sales from today's dozen or so live streams would be at least one or two hundred million yuan, which would give her tens of millions of yuan in net profit.

That damned Taoist priest even wanted me to stop broadcasting.

Fuck you, Qingxuanzi.

Cutting off a mother's source of income is like killing her parents.

"Knock knock knock".

Just then, the assistant knocked on the door and came in excitedly, saying, "President Liu, today's live stream was absolutely amazing! The logistics team said they couldn't keep up with the demand, especially those high-end brand cosmetics that were just launched today. They've already sold out of stock, and the live stream host is asking if we want to add more stock for the next live stream."
