Su Qingyuan did not accept this abandoned child as Qian Hao had expected, and did not even glance at the old man kneeling on the ground kowtowing.

She simply tapped Qian Hao's custom-made ebony desk, which cost three million yuan, lightly with her fingertips. The milk tea cup spun halfway under her fingertips, and the black pearls inside made a soft clinking sound.

"Mr. Qian, if we could do business so casually, I probably wouldn't be qualified to stand here."

Her voice was soft, yet it was like an icicle, instantly piercing the false calm in the office.

Qian Hao's smug expression froze on his face.

"Miss Su... what do you mean by that?"

"There's an unwritten rule among the Gu Yong family: the family that makes a mistake in a business deal has to hand over a valuable asset and compensation. The family that's in the right can punish the asset and accept compensation, but cannot implicate the main family. I think that's what you're planning too." Su Qingyuan looked up at Qian Hao.

Those peach blossom eyes, which always held a smile, were now cold and indifferent.

"Five million in principal, plus any Tom, Dick, or Harry you casually throw in, you think that's enough to cover five months' rent and interest?"

She raised her chin, and Zhang Cheng immediately stepped out from behind her, throwing a document in front of Qian Hao.

"Zhou Fudong, deputy head of the Qian family's finance department, is worth three million yuan in cash. He was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer three months ago, and the doctor said he has at most six months to live. His only daughter, Zhou Xiaoya, also suffers from congenital heart disease and has been lying in the ICU of the city's central hospital, where the daily treatment cost is 30,000 yuan."

Su Qingyuan's voice, word by word, clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Three days ago, you personally went to the hospital to see Zhou Fudong. You not only agreed to pay all of his daughter's medical expenses, but also gave him an additional one million yuan as a settlement allowance, on the condition that he take the blame for embezzling rent. You also promised that once this matter is over, you will send his daughter to the best hospital in Daxia for surgery. Am I right, Mr. Qian?"

Qian Hao's face turned deathly pale instantly, and cold sweat streamed down his face.

He never expected that Su Qingyuan would have investigated these matters so thoroughly.

Zhou Fudong, kneeling on the ground, was also stunned. He raised his head, his cloudy eyes filled with shock. He had always thought that only he and Qian Hao knew about this.

"I... I don't know what you're talking about..." Qian Hao was still being stubborn, but his voice had already started to tremble.

Su Qingyuan chuckled, picked up the milk tea on the table, and took a small sip.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it." She looked at Zhou Fudong, her tone finally showing a hint of warmth.

"Uncle Zhou, I know you were forced into this. The Su family will cover your daughter's medical expenses. I will arrange for the best cardiologist to perform the surgery tomorrow. After the surgery is successful, I will also send you and your daughter to settle in a mid-sized city where no one will be able to find you."

Zhou Fudong was shocked and looked at Su Qingyuan. Tears welled up in his eyes instantly.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something.

"Su Qingyuan! You can't do this!" Qian Hao finally panicked. He pointed at Su Qingyuan, his voice shrill, "You're breaking the rules! You can't bribe my pawn!"

"Breaking the rules?" Su Qingyuan put down her milk tea cup, her eyes suddenly turning cold. "Qian Hao, you forced a dying man to take the blame for you and used his daughter's life as a threat. That's the real violation of the rules... Moreover, the premise of the fourth rule is that the sacrifice of a child is a voluntary sacrifice for the family."

"And you, you are committing murder."

She stood up and looked down at Qian Hao, who was slumped on the ground.

"Qian Hao, I'm giving you one more chance. Settle the rent and interest within ten minutes, and I can pretend nothing happened. Otherwise..."

"What do you want?" Qian Hao's voice began to tremble.

Su Qingyuan laughed, but her laughter sent chills down Qian Hao's spine.

.....

The elevator slowly descended.

Su Qingyuan leaned against the wall of the sedan chair, sipping the remaining half cup of milk tea. Her face returned to its usual nonchalant expression, as if the decisive and ruthless eldest daughter of the Su family was not her just now.

"Do you think I went too far?" She suddenly looked at Chen Feng behind her and asked.

Chen Feng shook his head and said calmly, "You've been very merciful. If it were me, I would have at least crippled one of his hands."

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Su Qingyuan's smile grew wider and wider.

He kept chewing the pearls in his mouth.

"Junior brother, don't scare me. If you really kill him, the Li family will really tear down the Su family's gate."

After speaking, Su Qingyuan's smile faded slightly, and she sighed softly.

"These rules may seem to be restricting us, but they are actually protecting us... During the internal strife 150 years ago, the four major families fought tooth and nail for power, almost destroying the entire Gu Yong Upper City. In the end, it was only after the King of Gu Yong personally intervened that everyone was able to sit down and negotiate."

"Understood, Senior Sister." Chen Feng nodded.

Just then, Su Qingyuan's smart device suddenly rang urgently. She answered the phone and listened for only a few sentences before her brows furrowed.

"Okay. I'll be right down," Su Qingyuan said solemnly.

After hanging up the phone, Su Qingyuan turned to look at her junior brother Chen Feng, her eyes filled with a serious expression.

As Su Qingyuan and the others stepped out of the elevator, Su Qingyuan threw her empty milk tea cup into the trash can, her tone turning cold.

"My rent-collecting trip has come to an early end."

"What's wrong?"

"The Li family went to my Su family head and said that Qian Hao was someone he was protecting. I touched his people, which is a slap in the face to the Xiang family, so he wants me to give him an explanation."

"Will there be any trouble, Senior Sister?" Chen Feng asked calmly.

Su Qingyuan smiled and pinched Chen Feng's cheek, saying with a doting expression, "It's alright, Junior Brother. You should go back to the Martial God Academy first. The sooner you advance to the Heavenly Rank, the stronger our power will become, you understand?"
