The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

The events at the auction on the sixth floor of Shengshi Baida were like a super nuclear bomb dropped into the deep sea; in less than a minute, they swept through the entire elite circles of the Dragon Kingdom like wildfire.

When the news reached the major wealthy families in Beijing, the top families in Jiangnan, business tycoons, and the elite circles of the military and political parties, everyone was shocked and in uproar.

The Qin family tonight was far too fierce, so fierce that it overturned the understanding of all the top people.

The newly emerging top Xie family has firmly secured its position with a foundation of 50 trillion yuan, enjoying great prestige and no one dares to challenge its dominance.

But Qin Zheng insisted on going against the tide, publicly crippling Xie Zhan, the genius heir of a collateral branch of the Xie family, and slapping the Xie family member across the face.

What's most chilling is that, with Xiao Jingyan, the head of the special task force of the Weiheng Supervision Bureau, personally present and publicly interviewing Qin Zheng, he actually demanded that the tea be photographed first before they could have a tea-drinking conversation!

When the news spread, countless top-level dignitaries were shocked and discussed it in disbelief.

"Does he even know what the Weiheng Oversight Bureau is? It's a sword hanging over the heads of all the powerful and wealthy families, ready to fall at any moment!"

"I'm even certain that if tonight's auction results in the sale of finished Songzhong No. 1 tea leaves instead of just the picking rights, given Qin Zheng's style, he'd probably dare to ask Xiao Jingyan on the spot if he wanted to brew a pot and drink it before leaving!"

After this sarcastic remark was made, everyone fell silent.

Given Qin Zheng's unbridled and domineering nature, he is truly capable of doing this!

After a brief silence, the tide turned completely across the internet, and a wave of schadenfreude swept in.

"So what if they're arrogant and domineering? So what if they're tough? Offending the Xie family and being personally summoned by the Weiheng Supervision Bureau, the Qin family is completely finished!"

"The Qin family has barely been in the limelight for half a month, and they're already being completely erased from the scene, becoming a laughingstock in their social circle. This is the consequence of being too flamboyant; ultimately, it's better to be more low-key!"

No one questioned it; everyone wholeheartedly agreed with this viewpoint.

None of the wealthy, powerful, or influential figures who were invited for questioning by the Weiheng Supervision Bureau ended up well.

The Lu family, once the most powerful of the four great families in the capital, was utterly destroyed after a single meeting with the authorities. They squandered their entire fortune and fled the country overnight, marking the complete annihilation of this century-old family.

There's also Peter Ho, whose net worth is nearly a trillion yuan. He monopolized the market and overstepped his bounds. After being targeted by the Weiheng Supervision Bureau, he was instantly disgraced, his businesses were wiped out, and he became a nobody at the bottom of society.

These two bloody lessons are as vivid as yesterday for them, still fresh in their minds.

Aside from the Qin family, which is on the verge of destruction, the second most talked-about family tonight is the Xie family, who have lost all face.

As one of the four newly emerging top families, with a foundation of 50 trillion, they should have been able to dominate the scene and intimidate all the heroes. However, they were publicly humiliated by a newly emerging Jiangnan wealthy family, and their collateral descendants were crippled, losing all face.

Countless people are curious about what kind of terrifying wave of revenge the Xie family will unleash in their fury.

Within the main branch of the Xie family, there is a centuries-old garden study.

Carved beams and painted rafters, antique charm, brightly lit at night, soft light spills into the courtyard.

The artificial hill and flowing water murmur endlessly, the courtyard is shrouded in mist, the pines and cypresses are evergreen, and the bluestone is laid out, creating a tranquil, solemn, and ancient atmosphere.

Xie Mingjing sat upright in a rosewood chair, his posture upright and his temperament noble, surrounded by the transcendent aura of a young master of a top family.

On the other end of the phone, Xie Canglan, filled with endless grievances and rage, tearfully recounted the ordeal that Shengshi Baida had suffered that night, each word dripping with tears and resentment.

After hearing the whole story, Xie Mingjing remained calm and gently comforted him:

"I understand. In a while, I will make everyone in the Qin family kneel before my cousin and kowtow for mercy."

With the personal promise from the first heir of the Xie family, Xie Canglan's anxiety was completely relieved, and he quickly expressed his gratitude respectfully.

"Thank you so much, Young Master, for standing up for Zhan'er! It's late, so I won't disturb your rest any longer!"

"Um."

Xie Mingjing responded indifferently and hung up the phone.

Inside the courtyard, a soft sound of footsteps approached from afar, neither hurried nor slow.

The personal secretary, A-Gui, bowed as he entered the study, stood with his head bowed in front of the desk, and adopted an extremely respectful posture.

"Young Master, the entire story of the conflict at Shengshi Baida tonight has been fully investigated."

"Initially, Wang Qi publicly mocked the Qin family father and son, and then the dispute over the billion-dollar jade Buddha sparked a conflict. Young Master Xie Zhan stepped forward to support Wang Qi and insisted on punishing Qin Zheng and his son, pressing them step by step, which ultimately escalated the conflict and triggered all the subsequent troubles."

As soon as he finished speaking, A-Gui lowered his head and waited quietly for Xie Mingjing's instructions, not daring to say a word.

After a long while, Xie Mingjing sighed softly, a faint hint of disappointment and coldness flashing in her eyes.

"Acting on impulse."

"The Qin family is currently at the height of its power, and its actions are arrogant and domineering. Its destruction is already a foregone conclusion. He also thanked the Xie family for their business encirclement and suppression of the Qin family."

"Yet they insist on getting involved at this critical juncture. Don't they know the saying, 'Take someone down with you before you die'? They've completely disgraced the Xie family and made us a laughingstock for everyone."

Ah Gui remained respectful and did not respond, but spoke in a low voice with a hint of cautious worry:

"Young Master, the Weiheng Bureau suddenly appeared at the Beijing auction tonight and forcibly stopped the private duel. Will our current all-out attack on the Qin family attract their close attention? Should we temporarily halt our operations to avoid the risks?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Mingjing's lips curled into a faint, cold smile, her expression utterly composed.

"No need. Speed ​​things up and destroy the Qin family as soon as possible, so that others can see clearly what happens when they offend the Xie family."

"I've already spoken to Gao Chuan beforehand. The Weiheng Supervisory Bureau will not interfere in the Qin family's affairs."

boom!

Ah Gui's pupils suddenly contracted sharply, a huge wave of emotions surged in his heart, and his face was filled with disbelief.

Only now did he fully realize just how terrifying his eldest son's background and connections were!

The Weiheng Supervisory Bureau, which ordinary wealthy families fear and avoid like the plague, is somehow managed by the eldest son to have direct connections at the top, allowing them to selectively ignore it!

This energy has long surpassed that of all other privileged children of their generation!

Deeply shocked, Ah Gui dared not delve any further and immediately bowed his head to accept the order: "Yes, Young Master! I will take charge immediately!"

Xie Mingjing turned to leave the study, but suddenly stopped, as if remembering something, and casually asked.

"By the way, have you prepared the betrothal gifts that I asked you to prepare before?"

At the Wang family patriarch's birthday banquet next month, he will announce to the world his marriage to Wang Zhaoyue and hold an engagement ceremony.

Therefore, he had prepared a sufficiently generous betrothal gift well in advance.

Ah Gui's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately composed himself, replying solemnly:

"Young Master, all the betrothal gifts you listed have been prepared and are ready for use at any time."

"Um."

Xie Mingjing nodded slightly, looking satisfied. Without saying anything more, she turned and walked away steadily.

Cloud and Mist Mountain Villa.

The study was brightly lit late at night, with a heavy and oppressive atmosphere.

Lin Song told his father, Lin Guolong, everything that had happened at the auction in Beijing that night, and the news that Qin Zheng had been summoned for questioning by the Weiheng Supervision Bureau.

After saying that, Lin Song looked anxious and quickly tried to persuade him.

"Dad, we can't hesitate any longer! The Qin family's power is gone, and destruction is imminent. We must abandon the Qin family immediately, sever all ties, and avoid being implicated!"

Lin Guolong sat upright in his chair, his brows furrowed tightly. After listening, he let out a long sigh, his expression full of helplessness and profound contemplation.

"Song'er, you are still too young and your vision is too narrow. You can only see the immediate gains and losses, and you don't understand the fundamental principles of survival in the top circle."

"The Qin family just placed a huge, lucrative order with our Lin family. The cooperation has barely been finalized, and the relationship isn't over yet. Now that the Qin family is in danger, if we're quick to distance ourselves, how will the outside world view the Lin family?"

"Everyone will think we are opportunists who follow the crowd and are snobbish."

"You must remember, at our level, reputation and credibility are far more valuable than short-term gains."

"Profit losses can be made up, but once your reputation collapses, no one will dare to cooperate with us or invest in us again. Losing credibility is truly digging your own grave."

Lin Song was speechless, stunned on the spot, and suddenly felt enlightened.

Having been in business for many years, he only considered the pros and cons, the gains and losses, and was only afraid of the huge losses brought by the Xie family's anger and the pressure from the Weiheng Supervisory Bureau, but completely ignored the Lin family's fundamental principles.

It was precisely because of her father's high position and outstanding reputation that the Lin family was able to gain a foothold in Beijing, develop steadily, and gain the trust and support of countless powerful and wealthy people.

If the relationship is severed rashly at this moment, it may seem to avoid the risks, but in reality, it will completely destroy the reputation and credibility that the Lin family has built up.

In this way, they not only cannot sever ties with the Qin family, but they must also go against the tide.

Lin Song quickly weighed the pros and cons, then looked up and asked solemnly:

"Dad, shall we invite Qin Zheng to come over tomorrow?"

Seeing that his son understood immediately and suddenly realized the truth, Lin Guolong's eyes flashed with a look of relief, and he slowly nodded.

"Yes, please have Qin Zheng make an appointment tomorrow."

Lin Song pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked again:

"Then when the Qin family is completely destroyed, shall we publicly sever ties?"

"No," Lin Guolong shook his head slightly, his gaze deep as he said:

"At that time, we should not only not draw a line, but also take the initiative to step forward and give the Qin family a batch of resources and supplies."

"By offering a helping hand in their time of need, we have demonstrated the benevolence and integrity of the Lin family. Even if the Qin family is completely wiped out, we can use this incident to solidify our reputation within our social circle and enhance our own standing."

Lin Song was shocked and instantly understood.

Old ginger is indeed spicier!

Even in the face of the Qin family's destruction, Father was able to leverage the situation to maximize the benefits for the Lin family, proceeding step by step with meticulous planning and calculation.

The Kong Family Residence.

Upon receiving the news from the inner circle, Kong Tingjun was slightly taken aback at first, then threw his head back and burst into a hearty laugh.

"Is the Qin family really going to fall like this? I haven't even had a chance to make a move yet."

But the father-in-law still hasn't gotten his revenge.

That won't do; someone has to pay the price.

He immediately raised his hand, summoned his personal secretary, and ordered in a cold, deep voice:

"Doesn't the Shi family have connections in the capital? Send them a message saying that if Chen Jun doesn't die within three days, the Shi family will be destroyed."

It's a good opportunity to use the Shi family to get rid of Chen Jun, so that the Qin family will suffer and the father-in-law can finally vent his anger.

The secretary bowed and accepted the order, then immediately withdrew to deliver the message.

Kong Tingjun gently toyed with the warm jade thumb ring with his fingertips, his eyes flashing with a cold light, and he murmured softly.

"So what if he's the governor's son? So what if he comes from a prominent family? Chen Jun, blame yourself for having poor judgment, for choosing the wrong side, and for picking the wrong camp."

The Gongshu family and the Duanmu family.

The two old men had just returned from Beijing on a private plane and hadn't even had a chance to sleep when they received news that Qin Zheng in Beijing had been summoned for questioning.

The two sat in their respective studies. The moment they finished reading the message, their expressions turned grim and solemn, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

The day's experiences were like a rollercoaster ride, with my emotions going up and down, reaching an extreme level of excitement.

The shock of the trillions this morning hasn't even been digested yet.

That evening, news came that Qin Zheng had been personally summoned for questioning by the Weiheng Supervision Bureau.

Can the Qin family really weather this storm?

The two had no confidence whatsoever, only endless anxiety and unease.

In the face of absolute top-level power, immense wealth is ultimately insignificant.

Even if it's a hundred trillion, so what?

If you really cross the line, your superiors will have to deal with you, and you'll have to bear the consequences.

Meanwhile, in the capital, at the exclusive reception tea room of the Weiheng Supervision Bureau.

Contrary to rumors, this place was not as solemn and imposing as one might imagine. The overall layout was simple, clean, and orderly, no different from any other high-end business office.

The walls are pure white, the ceiling is simple, and a long wooden conference table is placed in the center with a spotless surface.

A complete set of purple clay teaware is placed on the table, with a pot of hot tea steaming and the aroma of tea spreading gently.

At the head of the room sat a middle-aged man dressed in a suit, with a calm and reserved demeanor.

With a calm demeanor and an imposing presence, he exuded the weighty aura of a top-level official; he was none other than Gao Chuan, the director of the Weiheng Supervisory Bureau.

A capable female secretary stood to one side, her posture upright and her expression serious, quietly attending to him.

Outside the door, Xiao Jingyan raised his hand and gently knocked.

"Enter."

A deep, steady sound emanated from the room.

Xiao Jingyan pushed open the door, stepped aside, and raised his hand in a respectful gesture.

"Mr. Qin, please."

Qin Zheng raised his eyes, glanced calmly at the room, his expression serene.

Lu Cheng'an, standing behind him, was filled with fear and unease, and couldn't help but call out softly.

"master."

Qin Zheng turned around, smiled gently at him, indicating that everything was alright and that he should relax.

Without needing to say more, a single glance was enough to soothe most of Lu Cheng'an's panic.

Qin Zheng strode calmly into the tea room.

The door closed slowly behind him, cutting off all sightlines and completely severing any outside prying and gossip.

Qin Zheng sat down calmly, his posture relaxed, as if he really was just there to drink tea and chat.

Gao Chuan raised his eyes, his gaze falling on Qin Zheng, and gave a slight nod to the female secretary beside him.

The secretary immediately stepped forward and poured Qin Zheng a cup of warm tea.

Gao Chuan clasped his hands together, gently supporting his chin, and calmly examined Qin Zheng. His tone was flat, yet he recounted the entire history of the Qin family as if it were his own, without making a single mistake.

"Qin Zheng was born in 1963. Forty years ago, in 2003, he moved from Beijing with his father, Qin Lang, and settled in Jiangnan Province. The address is Room 302, Xingfu Garden Community, Jiangbei City, Jiangnan Province."

"Nine days ago, you publicly confessed to your children that you were hiding your identity as a wealthy man. That night, you activated the Level 16 membership of the Human Emperor. The next day, you recharged 200 million and directly promoted to the Level 18 top-tier membership."

"Subsequently, we acquired Longhu Manor, spent 30 billion yuan to register Zhenshi Group, and invested another 100 billion yuan to solidify the group's foundation. We also spent 7 billion yuan to purchase a Gulfstream G700 private jet and opened exclusive routes."

"With a budget of ten trillion yuan, you undertook military outsourcing projects at low prices, winning all bids at only one-third of the market price. You also invested heavily in the Duanmu and Gongshu families, two renowned craft families, and monopolized almost all provincial and municipal key engineering projects in Jiangnan Province."

"In addition, the second son, Qin Mao, spent 12 billion yuan to buy land. The grandson, Qin Zihao, invested heavily in shorting the Zhao family's 100 billion yuan worth of stocks in Shanghai. Qin Ziyang's live stream generated over 100 million yuan in donations in a single day, causing a sensation across the internet."

"My biological father, Qin Lang, was born in Beijing in 1930 and worked as an ordinary worker in a garment factory in his early years."

Qin Zheng listened quietly, his smile unchanged, remaining composed.

They were able to uncover the entire wealth of a newly rich family in just a few days.

It can only be said that the Weiheng Supervision Bureau truly lives up to its reputation as a fearsome institution.

After Gao Chuan finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on Qin Zheng, filled with intense inquiry and curiosity.

"Mr. Qin, we have searched through the archives of aristocratic families in the capital, the records of reclusive wealthy families, and the genealogies of clans in various places, but we have not found any record of a top-tier family with the surname Qin."

"I'm very curious, where exactly does the Qin family's wealth and influence come from?"

"Was our ancestor Qin Qiong from the late Sui Dynasty? Or Qin Liangyu from the late Ming Dynasty? Or perhaps some other reclusive family that was never recorded in history?"

After listening, Qin Zheng remained calm, gently shook his head, looked directly at Gao Chuan, and spoke in a frank and casual tone.

"I don't know either."

"When my father died, he just left me all the money, and I didn't even have time to ask about it."

"If the bureau chief really wants to know, I'll go and offer him some incense tomorrow and ask him to tell you in a dream while I'm still alive."

After speaking, he picked up the tea on the table, took a small sip, and then frowned slightly.

"However, speaking of which, Director, your status is not low, yet the tea you're serving guests is rather ordinary."

Upon hearing this, the female secretary standing nearby immediately darkened her face and was about to speak up to reprimand the other party for their insolence and rudeness.

Gao Chuan gently raised his hand to stop his secretary's actions, his expression remaining calm.

"It's alright."

He turned to his secretary and instructed her:

"Go and brew a pot of Imperial Longjing tea. I want to have a good chat with Mr. Qin today."

The secretary gave Qin Zheng, who looked calm and composed, a deep look in her eyes filled with confusion and surprise. She snorted softly, turned around, and quickly left to make tea.

Inside the tea room, only two people remained, sitting opposite each other.

Gao Chuan's gaze was playful as he slowly spoke:

"Mr. Qin, you seem completely unafraid of the Weiheng Supervisory Bureau?"

Qin Zheng chuckled upon hearing this, his posture relaxed and composed, his tone calm and collected.

"I haven't committed murder or any other illegal act, and I've acted with integrity, so why should I be afraid?"

"But Director, since you invited us for tea and a chat, why did you have to pry so deeply into our background right away? It was far too abrupt. I thought we were just here to have some tea and a chat."

Gao Chuan was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He had met countless tycoons who, when invited to the Weiheng Supervisory Bureau's tea room, were all extremely apprehensive and cautious. Even those with trillions in assets dared not make the slightest presumptuous move.

The Qin Zheng standing before them was the only one who was so relaxed, even daring to openly criticize the quality of the tea and make fun of the way he asked questions.

Is he truly fearless and open-minded, or is he just feigning composure?

A moment later, the secretary returned with a freshly brewed Imperial Longjing tea. The tea soup was clear and bright, with a mellow and lingering aroma, and wisps of steam rose up.

Qin Zheng picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and felt the rich aroma of the tea fill his throat, making him feel comfortable and relaxed.

"Good tea, I only get used to drinking this kind."

He looked up at Gao Chuan and spoke calmly:

"Does the director have any other questions? If not, I need to rush back to the hotel later to check if my boss is still terrified."

At this moment, Gao Chuan's composed smile vanished completely, his expression suddenly turned solemn and stern, and his aura instantly darkened, creating an overwhelming sense of oppression.

He looked directly at Qin Zheng and spoke in a deep voice, word by word.

"Mr. Qin, you may only have heard of the special nature of the Weiheng Supervision Bureau, but you may not know that we have strict risk ratings for all aristocratic and wealthy families."

"The higher the level, the greater the power, the more uncontrollable the actions, and the higher the risk, the more important it is to intervene and control."

"In Jiangnan Province, you openly refused to meet with Vice Governor Ma Hongming. Then, in Puning City, you caused a scene at the Public Security Bureau, requiring Li Haitao and Chen Wenbin to accompany you throughout the cleanup."

"They act domineeringly and arrogantly, without any scruples."

"Do you know what risk level the Qin family is rated by our Weiheng Supervision Bureau?"

A hint of amusement flashed across Qin Zheng's eyes as he calmly asked:

"Oh? What level?"

Gao Chuan's gaze was sharp as he stared intently at Qin Zheng, and he spoke each word with a firm and resounding tone:

"The Qin family's risk rating is the highest level—"

"S-rank!"

(Today's 10,000-word compensation has been completed. I'm asking for free reminders and gifts.)
