at this time,

In the presidential suite,

Su Zixing blushed with embarrassment after being spoken to by Deng Ying. Someone like her, who was usually very proud and even arrogant, and who thought she was very capable, was embarrassed by being slapped in the face in public. She said, "Aunt, how can you say that to me? Is there anything wrong with me disciplining my subordinates?"

"People are naturally divided into different classes, so why are you making such a big deal out of it and criticizing me?"

"How did I become a clown jumping around on the beam?"

"Why should I keep a low profile?"

"What did I do wrong?"

"This is a completely inexplicable and baseless attack!"

Deng Ying: "Zixing, one must know one's place, especially in a place like the capital where powerful figures mingle. A single misstep can lead to utter ruin, sometimes you don't even know how you died. I'm not exaggerating. You've always been away from the capital, you don't know how dangerous a place like the capital is."

"I'm not saying you shouldn't discipline your subordinates, but you need to use the right methods. Is it right to just kill them without even knowing the facts? That will demoralize your subordinates."

The bodyguards exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing this…

The bodyguards who had been following Zhang Weijie were particularly puzzled by Su Zixing's sudden attack.

Everyone in the Deng family knows that Zhang Weijie is Deng Zhi's confidant.

Everyone felt that the young lady was being unfair to Captain Zhang, but they dared not speak out against it.

At this moment, Su Zixing was furious, and said with resentment, "What does it have to do with Xiao Zhan that I reprimanded my subordinates? Not only did he not help me, but he also injured my subordinates. Does he look down on me, or does he think I'm easy to bully because I have no parents?"

Deng Ying was furious: "Zixing, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Su Zixing: "I have always been unruly and arrogant. People are divided into different classes. I have the right to deal with my subordinates. If Xiao Zhan can't stand it, he can leave. I don't welcome him."

"I put Zhang Weijie in charge of investigating and gathering manpower for this matter. Now that the news has been leaked, I naturally have to settle accounts with him."

Xia Ke saw that things were almost done, so she said to the bodyguards around her, "Everyone, go back to your rooms and rest. No one is allowed to leave their rooms without the young lady's permission."

The bodyguards hesitated for a moment, but then left.

If you don't leave,

Should we stay and continue to watch the young lady make a fool of herself?

They were even more afraid that the young lady would take her anger out on them...

"Bang!"

The door to the presidential suite closed, leaving only Xia Keke, Deng Ying, and Su Zixing in the room.

Xia Keke stepped forward and gently hugged Su Zixing, whispering in her ear, "Cousin, Deng Ying is right. Let go of your obsession; now is not the best time for revenge."

Tears welled up in Su Zixing's eyes as she said pitifully, "Cousin, I just want to find out the truth behind the leak. Which bastard leaked the information?"

"Did Xiao Zhan really have to embarrass me like this in public?"

"Even my aunt is speaking up for Xiao Zhan and talking about me. Am I really that worthless? My father, my father, all acknowledged my abilities. He just died, his body is barely cold, and this is how they treat me."

"You should know that my father entrusted Southeast Asia to me, and I've managed it incredibly well. Doesn't that prove my strength and ability?"

Xia Keke said softly, "Actually, Zixing, everyone has seen and acknowledged your abilities. Xiao Zhan has already investigated for you and started making plans."

Su Zixing was stunned upon hearing this, and didn't react for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Plan? Cousin, I don't understand?"

Xia Keke laughed and said, "Silly boy, haven't you figured it out yet? Xiao Zhan and your aunt are putting on a show to mislead the other side and deliberately create the illusion of internal discord among us."

Su Zixing blinked and said, "Was everything that just happened intentional, just an act for others to see?"

Xia Keke released Su Zixing and said, "Cousin, everyone has their own life trajectory. Officials risk their lives in the court, merchants use schemes for money, actors show off their bodies on stage, and worshippers kowtow until their heads break in temples. In fact, people are divided into different classes. This is true in any dynasty and any society. Otherwise, how could society progress?"

Deng Ying stepped forward and said, "Zixing, you were just acting for others. Did I scare you?"

Su Zixing blinked and said, "Auntie, you just arrived and you've already put on a show with Xiao Zhan. I didn't see you communicating with Xiao Zhan at all. Also, why is it Auntie and Xiao Zhan putting on a show, and not Xiao Zhan and my cousin?"

Xia Keke: "Deng Ying is now the head of the Deng family, and Xiao Zhan is the head of the Xiao family. They are also the newly crowned number one in Beijing. The two of them working together naturally have enough influence."

Su Zixing walked to the door and listened to the sounds in the corridor outside.

Xia Keke laughed and said, "Hehe, Xiao Zhan and Zhang Weijie are smoking in the corridor. Who would dare to eavesdrop? They'd have a death wish."

Su Zixing laughed awkwardly and said, "You guys just bombarded me with your barrage of words and left me dizzy. You can't do that again next time, my heart can't take it."

Deng Ying: "Silly girl, you want it to happen again?"

at this time,

Xiao Zhan and Zhang Weijie were smoking at the end of the corridor when Xiao Zhan said, "Captain Zhang, don't take it to heart. Miss was just acting rashly in a moment of panic. It's not easy for a girl like her. Besides, she's eager to avenge Deng Zhi, which we can all understand."

Zhang Weijie: "Young Master Xiao, I'm not angry. I also want to avenge Mr. Deng. Mr. Deng treated me like a brother. I swear I will not be a human being if I do not kill Liu Shiyuan."

Xiao Zhan: "But revenge can't be done recklessly. You have to be careful about the methods. You need to investigate this leak incident thoroughly and learn from it. If I hadn't come to stop you in time, you would have gone there and it would have been like throwing meat buns to a dog, never to return."

Zhang Weijie: "But Miss, you can't wrong me!"

Xiao Zhan: "Of course I know you didn't leak the information. I approve of you and trust your character."

Zhang Weijie wiped the sweat from his forehead, then bowed deeply to Xiao Zhan and said, "Thank you, Young Master Xiao, for clearing my name."

Xiao Zhan patted Zhang Weijie on the shoulder and said, "Go back and apologize to the young lady, and everything will be over, okay?"

Zhang Weijie thought for a moment and said, "Young Master Xiao, I have no problem apologizing, but I don't want to work here anymore. Mr. Deng is gone, and Miss doesn't trust me. There's no need for me to stay."

"As the saying goes, 'I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the gutter.' Alas, my glorious era has passed."

Xiao Zhan looked at Zhang Weijie and said, "I understand you. Promise me you'll get through this difficult time before you leave. You should finish what you start; that's the right way to be a person."

Zhang Weijie nodded.

Xiao Zhan pushed open the door and went in, followed by Zhang Weijie.

Neither of them glanced at the two surveillance cameras at the end of the corridor from beginning to end.

at this time,

In the hotel's basement security monitoring center, a large electronic screen displays footage of the corridor outside the presidential suite.

The words Xiao Zhan and Zhang Weijie just said were heard clearly by the people in the monitoring room through the surveillance camera.

At this moment, the security guard who had been on duty at the elevator entrance came in, whispered a few words in the ear of a middle-aged man, and then hurriedly left.

The middle-aged man looked up at the large electronic screen and said, "This is interesting. Zhang Weijie was wronged by Su Zixing, and Xiao Zhan stood up for him and clashed with Su Zixing. It seems there was a fierce conflict in the presidential suite just now. It's a pity that they don't allow surveillance cameras in the room, otherwise I could have seen everything clearly. But this Zhang Weijie is someone I can get in touch with."
