"Who, who exactly are you?"
President Zhou clutched his swollen red cheek, his eyes filled with intense fear.
At this moment, a sense of foreboding had already arisen in his heart.
He might have inadvertently brought insurmountable trouble to Qingyuan Group.
"Are you from Xinkai?"
Li Bingqing exclaimed from the side, a flicker of relief flashing through her mind.
"What, are you two still unwilling to give this old man face? Then I can only report to the master and ask him to make a decision."
The old man ignored everyone's gazes and continued to speak calmly.
"No, no, no, we didn't mean that."
"Since you've spoken, elder, we naturally wouldn't dare to pursue it."
Li Bingqing was already terrified, her voice trembling slightly.
"That's good. I hope Miss Li remembers her words."
"You may continue. This old man will not disturb you further."
After speaking, the old man left the scene with his bodyguards, not even glancing at anyone else.
Song Qiao looked at the stunned crowd in the room and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
"This woman, Ye Zhiwei, put on a complete act, hiring such skilled actors from somewhere."
"She completely fooled President Zhou and Li Bingqing."
Even though the old man was long gone, a look of respect and admiration still lingered on Xia Yuqing's face.
The CEO of Xinkai Capital possessed such terrifying power.
He himself didn't even show up, merely sending an old man to deliver a message, and he managed to make Li Bingqing and President Zhou back down.
This indicated that Xinkai Group was fully capable of confronting the Li family and Qingyuan Group directly.
"Alas, if only our Tianhong had such capabilities. Then we wouldn't have to fear people like Xia Haibin coming to cause trouble."
Xia Yuqing couldn't help but think to herself.
"This fellow Song Qiao, with such a powerful boss behind him, only knows how to act high-profile and repeatedly make enemies for Tianhong."
"If only I could get to know the CEO of Xinkai, I might have even better opportunities."
The more Xia Yuqing thought about it, the angrier she became, and her gaze towards her husband was tinged with disappointment.
"Sis, what are you thinking about?"
Xia Xueqing, standing beside her, noticed her sister's gaze was somewhat unusual.
"I think my brother-in-law is still far from being a true magnate, yet he acts extremely high-profile."
Xia Yuqing sighed, complaining with a hint of helplessness.
Seeing her sister's dissatisfaction with her brother-in-law resurface, Xia Xueqing felt a surge of joy.
She secretly stuck out her tongue, her gaze towards her sister filled with sympathy.
Yesterday, she had been with Song Qiao the whole time and knew about the plan between Ye Zhiwei and Song Qiao to fabricate a boss.
At the very least, the owner of this villa was Song Qiao.
In just one year, he could afford to buy this villa outright. Upon learning this, Xia Xueqing was already completely awestruck by Song Qiao.
"Sister really has no vision. Such a talent as my brother-in-law is right beside her, yet she doesn't cherish him."
"The bosses she admires are not much different from Song Qiao."
"This is good too, I will have more opportunities in the future."
She thought to herself, then gave her sister a meaningful look. She picked up a piece of fruit from the table and gracefully walked over to Song Qiao.
...
"Song Qiao, you just wait. I can't deal with you here today, but there will be opportunities later."
Li Bingqing cast a resentful glance at Song Qiao and helplessly returned to her seat.
Now, on Xinkai Capital's territory, even if her grandfather, the head of the Li family, Li Yongzhi, were to come personally, he wouldn't dare to cause any trouble.
Li Bingqing remained silent. Zhou Yuan, no matter how aggrieved he was, could only endure it now.
However, their expressions were grim, and their gazes towards Song Qiao were filled with venom. They were clearly plotting something in their hearts.
"Song Qiao, you must be careful. I have a feeling these two will absolutely not let this go."
Ye Zhiwei quickly noticed the anomaly and couldn't help but warn Song Qiao.
"Heh heh, ever since I publicly supported Lan Hai, their hostility towards me has never diminished. Let them fuss about it; let's see what tricks they can come up with."
Song Qiao shrugged and replied indifferently.
"That won't do. One must be vigilant. Li Bingqing never plays by the rules."
Ye Zhiwei was still somewhat uneasy.
Song Qiao, however, calmly waved his hand, signaling her not to worry and that he knew what he was doing.
His personality had always been like this: he believed in meeting challenges as they came and would never become timid or hesitant over such a small matter.
"Brother-in-law, come peel some fruit for me."
Just then, Xia Xueqing walked towards him gracefully, her face beaming with a smile.
"Brother-in-law, you were so cool just now. I feel like Su Lan was almost scared to pee herself."
As she spoke, she handed the fruit knife and dragon fruit to Song Qiao.
Song Qiao shook his head helplessly but couldn't refuse. He casually found a seat and began peeling fruit for Xia Xueqing.
"Brother-in-law, you eat too."
After peeling the fruit, Xia Xueqing, whether intentionally or not, fed a piece of dragon fruit to Song Qiao's mouth right in front of her sister.
Song Qiao wanted to refuse, but Xia Xueqing was insistent and wouldn't let go until the fruit was in his mouth.
This was witnessed by Xia Yuqing, who felt a pang of jealousy.
She was Song Qiao's wife, yet they hadn't been this intimate in a long time.
Ever since she became the general manager of Tianhong Media, the distance between her and Song Qiao seemed to grow.
Recently, she had clearly noticed her sister's change in attitude towards Song Qiao. Although she didn't say anything, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Brother-in-law, hurry up and eat, what are you spacing out for?"
Seeing Song Qiao sitting there lost in thought, Xia Xueqing seemed to be deliberately putting on a show for her sister. She picked up another piece of fruit and put it in his mouth.
Xia Yuqing grew more and more upset as she watched, her mind drifting back to the happy times she had shared with Song Qiao.
Unknowingly, the stool she was sitting on had tilted, and she didn't even realize it.
The next second, losing her balance, she slid sideways and tumbled into the nearby swimming pool.
Song Qiao had specifically added ice to the pool today to make the villa cooler.
Upon falling in, she instantly lost consciousness.
No one present had expected such a thing to happen. For a moment, everyone stood there stunned.
However, mere seconds passed, and before anyone could react, a figure leaped through the air and dove into the icy water.
