While out picking up trash, I was forcefully pushed around by a beautiful female CEO.

Liu Qingchuan didn't dare to delay. He nodded politely to Lin Feng and the Meng family, then took out his phone and went to the yard to make a call.

The elders of the Meng family panicked.

"Xiao Lin, are you out of your mind! What if Secretary Liu exposes that you killed Su Mingxuan and Chen Zongwen? Will we be arrested? We'll be in deep trouble then!"

"Yes, someone in our Meng family was murdered. One phone call from Mayor Qin, and we're all going to jail!"

Meng Yuanhe and Meng Boqu were getting anxious.

Meng Botao was also sighing and complaining on the side.

"What do you mean? Do you think that if I don't let Secretary Liu make this call, Su Mingxuan's death can be kept secret? Or are you planning to kill Secretary Liu as well to silence him? Anyway, he's already seen it!"

Lin Feng was amused and asked Meng Yuanhe and the others.

"Well... it's better to keep it a secret for as long as possible than to make a scene tonight, right? Let's see how this gets out of hand!"

Meng Yuanhe slapped his thigh, pounding his chest and stamping his feet in anger, his face ashen.

"This is going to escalate!"

Lin Feng forced himself to remain patient and said, "It's better to make a scene than to let things escalate. This is also a good opportunity to see the Qin family's attitude!"

"The Qin family's attitude? What attitude? You think the Qin family will protect you? Xiao Lin, you're still too naive! The Qin family is sending congratulatory gifts because of their relationship with Qingyao, what business is it of yours?"

Meng Boqu said with a sense of disappointment and frustration.

"Will we find out after Secretary Liu finishes his call, Uncle? Until then, can you just shut up? I'm afraid I might not be able to resist slapping you!"

Lin Feng had completely lost interest in talking to these idiots.

Meng Boqu was about to reprimand Lin Feng for showing no respect for his elders, but upon seeing the two corpses on the ground and the five-finger mark on Meng Yun's face, he immediately wilted and grumbled, "Anyway, you killed them and did the deed. With Qingyao's connection, the Qin family will definitely say a few words in favor of the Meng family. We won't care about you then..."

"..."

Lin Feng was speechless. He thought it would be better to let Meng Qingyao leave the Meng family and sever ties with Meng Yuanhe and the others. These old men had really wasted half their lives.

"Dad, I think Xiaofeng's words make a lot of sense!"

Meng Jingran suddenly spoke up, then, with a thoughtful expression, said, "The Su family has risen too quickly in the past two years, and their status is approaching that of the Qin family, posing a considerable threat to them! Especially their ruthless style of operation, employing many underhanded methods! If the Qin family falls and the Su family rises, then the Qin family's fate will definitely not be good. Therefore, Su Mingxuan's death may not necessarily be a bad thing for us!"

"I agree with Jingran's statement. Su Mingxuan's death at the Meng family's house is tantamount to the Meng family declaring a complete break with the Su family. From the Qin family's perspective, this is exactly what they want to see. There are not many families in Minghai City that have completely broken with the Su family. If the Qin family wants to rally forces to counter the Su family, they might step in to help us handle this matter, setting an example for other forces in the outside world."

Li Zuwang also spoke slowly, and he and Meng Jingran exchanged a glance. The two of them had a feeling of being kindred spirits across generations.

Lin Feng's eyes also brightened slightly, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips, his eyes full of admiration.

This brother-in-law, Meng Jingran, is indeed much more outstanding than the older members of the Meng family.

And then there's Uncle Li Zuwang, who's also a clear-headed man. How could he be so foolish as to marry a stupid woman like Meng Yun?

The saying "Having a stupid wife invites disaster" is not without reason!

At this moment, Meng Yuanhe and the others gradually began to understand the meaning behind Li Zuwang and Meng Jingran's words. A hopeful look appeared in their eyes as they stammered, "Really...really? Will the Qin family really protect us?"

"That's why I said we need to see the Qin family's attitude. But if the Qin family isn't stupid, they will!"

Lin Feng spoke calmly.

In fact, he was 100% certain that as long as Qin Xiao knew what had happened to the Meng family tonight, he would definitely step in to protect the Meng family and handle the matter.

Lin Feng knew very well that the congratulatory gifts and red envelopes tonight were all Qin Xiao's idea.

Qin Xiao was also showing him that he genuinely wanted to help him!

When Qin Xiao transferred the money, he only said it was to Meng Qingyao, without mentioning that they knew each other. This was Qin Xiao subtly telling her that he had been keeping his promise to Qin Xiao that morning.

With all this in mind, Lin Feng was certain that the Qin family would stand with him. Moreover, given the current situation in Minghai City, it was only a matter of time before the Qin and Su families broke off relations. As long as Qin Xiangyang wasn't stupid and had any guts, he wouldn't be a coward at this critical juncture.

Hearing Lin Feng's confident words, Li Zuwang and Meng Jingran felt extremely conflicted.

Because Secretary Liu appeared suddenly, no one expected the Qin family to suddenly send congratulatory gifts.

In such a short time, Lin Feng was able to think of using the power struggle between various forces to find a way to break the deadlock. Such a keen sense of situation is something that ordinary people cannot do!

the other side.

Liu Qingchuan was unaware of what was happening in the villa's living room. He went to the villa's courtyard and dialed Qin Xiangyang's number.

The phone rang twice before it was answered!

Liu Qingchuan quickly explained what had happened at the Meng family's place.

Meanwhile, in the Qin family's living room.

Qin Xiao, Qin Xiangyang, and Zhang Qian were sitting on the sofa drinking tea after finishing their meal when they received a call from Liu Qingchuan. Qin Xiangyang and Qin Xiao's expressions changed immediately.

"Dad, this is good news! Chen Zongwen is a master of traditional martial arts in Minghai City. It must have been Su Mingxuan who led Chen Zongwen to try and kill someone at the Meng family, which is why Brother Feng killed him instead! Martial arts practitioners killing people without authorization falls under the jurisdiction of the Martial Arts Management Bureau. Su Mingxuan deserves to die, and the Su family, who condoned hiring martial arts practitioners to commit murder, cannot escape responsibility either. I'll take some men to the Su family tonight to confront Su Tianyang!"

After a brief moment of shock, Qin Xiao recovered and spoke slowly and deliberately, his words carrying no hint of negotiation.

"How do you know it was Su Mingxuan who hired a martial arts practitioner to commit the murder? What if it wasn't?"

Qin Xiangyang asked in a deep voice.

"I am the deputy director of the Martial Arts Management Bureau. Whether Su Mingxuan hired martial arts practitioners to commit murder is up to me to decide! In any case, Su Mingxuan and Chen Zongwen are already dead, and the dead cannot refute! Moreover, I think the Meng family would be very happy to come forward as witnesses!"

Qin Xiao's aura was sharp and his tone left no room for argument.

Qin Xiangyang looked at his son without saying a word, but his heart was already filled with turbulent waves.

Firstly, the son, Qin Xiao, calls Meng Qingyao's husband "Brother Feng"!

Secondly, the publicly acknowledged martial arts master Chen Zongwen of Minghai City died at the Meng family's hands. It's perfectly clear who killed him! That Lin Feng's skills are definitely no less than his own son's.

Finally, Qin Xiao chose the boy named Lin Feng almost without hesitation, thus standing on the opposite side of the Su family.

It should be understood that sending people to Su Tianyang's door in the name of the Armed Forces Management Bureau to question him is tantamount to classifying the deaths of Su Mingxuan and Chen Zongwen as heinous crimes.

This also means that they have completely broken ties with the Su family. From now on, neither side will give the other any way out and will use their own methods until one side completely disappears from Minghai City!

Each of these three points was enough to shatter the peace in Qin Xiangyang's heart.

"Xiao Xiao, have you thought this through? If you do this, there will be no room for reconciliation between us and the Su family!"

Qin Xiangyang spoke in a deep voice.

"Dad, if we don't do this, do we really think there's any room for reconciliation with the Su family? You know, if the Su family really gains power, our Qin family will not have a good ending! It's only a matter of time before we break ties with the Su family."

Qin Xiao stared directly at Qin Xiangyang.

"Haha, he's my son, Qin Xiangyang! Go ahead, do as you say!"

Qin Xiangyang smiled with satisfaction. His son was decisive in important matters, especially after retiring from the military. He was quick to act without hesitation, which suited his tastes more and more.

"Of course! When has our son ever been bad? Except when he's going to school!"

Qin Xiao smiled and nodded, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "Dad, haven't you been struggling to find a way to connect with people in Kyoto? After this, perhaps the opportunity will come..."

Qin Xiangyang's brows twitched upon hearing this: "You mean, that kid? Someone who can provide our Qin family with opportunities to connect with the core high-ranking officials in Kyoto?"

Qin Xiao remained silent for a moment, then said nothing more.

He ultimately did not tell Qin Xiangyang that the Lin family itself was the core of the entire China.
