"Are you even listening to me?" The queen bee could no longer contain her anger and roared.

Gu Feng was startled and quickly said, "I'm listening, I'm listening! But you're telling me all this stuff I don't understand at all, it's making me sleepy. Can't you just tell me what to do?"

The queen bee was furious, thinking to herself that this child was hopeless and beyond redemption, and too lazy to explain further, she said bluntly, "Your task is—to get along well with Mayunako!"

Gu Feng was stunned for a moment, then he was completely awake, all sleepiness gone. After holding it in for a while, he couldn't help but blurt out, "Holy crap!"

The queen bee frowned and hissed, "Gu Feng!"

Gu Feng quickly waved his hand: "Alright, alright, I know, you just want to say that men should be more refined, otherwise no woman will want to marry them, right? Don't worry, you don't need to worry about my marriage. There are plenty of women who want to marry me!"

The queen bee rolled her eyes at his words and said irritably, "Who has time to meddle in your marriage! Don't give me that nonsense, be serious!"

"Am I not serious?" Gu Feng looked puzzled, then raised an eyebrow, his temper flaring. "Didn't you see how that girl treated me last night? You still expect me to get along with her? Are you kidding me?"

"You were the one who provoked her last night and ended up tied up there. You can't blame others entirely; you can only blame yourself for not being skilled enough. Of course, her actions were a bit extreme. But isn't that perfect? ​​It shows you two are evenly matched, a match made in heaven." The Queen Bee scolded while also trying to bring them together.

"Hmph, don't waste your breath. I hate that woman so much I could never live peacefully with her!" Gu Feng's eyes were practically spitting fire as he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to settle this score with her."

"Oh—" The queen bee nodded as if suddenly realizing something, crossed one arm over her chest, and rested her chin on the other, slowly asking, "Gu Feng, do you really think it's difficult to get along with Mayunako?"

Gu Feng didn't say anything, thinking to himself, isn't this obvious?

"But I think it wouldn't be too difficult to arrest Ding Hanhan and make her spend the rest of her life in prison," the Queen Bee slowly added.

Upon hearing the name "Ding Hanhan," Gu Feng's previously smug expression instantly froze. The Queen Bee had truly seized his Achilles' heel.

"Gu Feng, can you stop with all that nonsense and just talk properly?" the Queen Bee asked smugly.

Gu Feng glared at her fiercely, but in the end, he could only helplessly say, "Alright, alright, be serious. Since you want me and Cai Zi to get along so well, does that mean she's also part of that assassin group?"

The queen bee shook her head, her tone uncertain: "No, she might not be, but we can't completely rule it out."

"So what exactly happened?" Gu Feng asked, looking completely bewildered.

The queen bee couldn't help but roll her eyes again, her tone becoming stern: "I just told you to listen carefully, but you insisted on dozing off. Don't blame me if something goes wrong because you're confused!"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen carefully now, alright?" Gu Feng's attitude finally softened.

The Queen Bee hummed in agreement, pondered for a while, and then found the point she had just mentioned: "The registration information for this Ruishi Bank account shows that the holder is a person named Yamamoto Tadashi, whose registered residence is in Tokyo, Japan. We made a special trip to Tokyo to investigate and discovered that while Yamamoto is ostensibly a high-level manager of an export trading group, he is actually working for the Mayu family. It was from this point that the Mayu family truly came into our view."

"The Mayu family?" Gu Feng repeated in confusion, finally understanding the meaning this time.

"Yes. The Mayu family is a very famous family in Japan, with wealth so vast it's immeasurable; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they're richer than a country..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Feng wrinkled his nose and said dismissively, "Is it really that exaggerated?"

The queen bee sneered: "Exaggeration? Then let me ask you, in your eyes, is the Ding family considered a particularly wealthy family?"

"Yes, it does." Gu Feng nodded. The Ding family is rich; isn't that obvious?

"Compared to the Mayu family, the Keding family is like a single hair on nine oxen."

"Huh?" Gu Feng was stunned.

The Queen Bee gave a light snort and continued, "The Mayu family has many direct descendants, widely distributed, and involved in all sorts of industries, both legitimate and illegitimate. If this matter hadn't already threatened us, we really wouldn't want to touch such a troublemaker. But now, we have no choice but to. According to our secret investigation, a rather important figure in the third generation of the Mayu family has already come to Shenzhen and invested in an import and export seafood trading company called 'Qiang Ji'."

"Qiang Ji?" Gu Feng finally heard a familiar name.

"Do you know this place?" the queen bee asked.

Gu Feng nodded and raised his hand: "You go first."

The queen bee nodded and continued, "If you remember Qiangji, then the rest will be easier to understand. As everyone knows, Qiangji was originally started by a local fisherman named Li Jiachun from Shenzhen. But as far as we know, Qiangji changed owners a long time ago; the real owner is Ma Youbenyi. But why is Li Jiachun still the legal representative on the registration? To put it bluntly, it's all about profit. After Li Jiachun sold Qiangji to Ma Youbenyi, he still receives 10% of Qiangji's total revenue as dividends every year."

"This kind of thing doesn't seem strange to outsiders. Many foreign-invested factories and companies in Shenzhen do this now. They hire a local as the factory manager or vice president. The title sounds impressive, and the salary is not low, but in reality, they are just doing errands, such as welcoming guests and relaying messages. To put it bluntly, they are just figureheads."

"But with those clues, we certainly didn't believe that Qiangji, which was under Mayu Benyi's control, was as simple as it seemed. So we continued to dig deeper. At first, we didn't dare to directly confront Mayu Benyi, so we started with Li Jiachun. We discovered that Li Jiachun didn't hold any position at Qiangji at all, and he wasn't in Shenzhen, but in Yuancheng. Yet, every year at the end of the year, he would receive a large sum of money from Qiangji under the guise of 'dividends' in his bank account."

"According to our investigation, Qiangji's financial situation has long been in deficit, so where would they get the money to give him? Moreover, that amount of money is equivalent to 100% of Qiangji's annual total turnover! All these unreasonable points make us increasingly suspicious that there must be something fishy about Qiangji. Qiangji may very well be a tool used by Ma Youben to cover up some shady activities."

Gu Feng was listening intently when the Queen Bee suddenly stopped. He quickly urged, "And then? Don't stop halfway through, it's too suspenseful."

"That's all." The queen bee shrugged.

"Huh?" Gu Feng was dumbfounded.

"While we have these suspicions, the formal investigation into Qiang Ji and Mayu Benichi has not yet truly begun. So, this next part is not something you should ask me; it's something I'm entrusting to you."

"Leave it to me?" Gu Feng looked completely bewildered.

"Mayunako is Mayunamoto's niece," the queen bee said, enunciating each word clearly.

"Huh?" Gu Feng was taken aback, frowning as he said, "That's not right, is it? I could believe you if you said Mayunako was Mayumoto's niece, but how come two people with the same surname are nephew and uncle? This relationship is too convoluted!"

The queen bee was exasperated and quickly interrupted him, "Please, stop making wild guesses, okay? Mayuna's father married into the Mayuna family, and Mayuna took her mother's surname!"

"Oh—" Gu Feng suddenly realized.
