Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

Very strange.

Qi Jiang has met many people and encountered many tough challenges.

He remained calm and composed throughout, and nothing could shake his mental defenses.

But now, Su Yuzhe's icy gaze and emotionless tone made a bead of cold sweat trickle down his forehead.

He was stunned for several seconds before he reacted: "Young friend Yu Zhe, I understand that you were in a bad mood when you were in a car accident back then, but I must say that it has nothing to do with our Qi family. Maybe it was some other business competitor, or... that car accident was just a simple accident?"

No, Yu Zhe wasn't actually angry because of the car accident he had back then.

The real reason he was angry was that after his car accident, Zixiao, Yuche, and Sister Ye all worried about him for a long time. To this day, Yuzhe still can't forget the helpless cries of Yuche and Zixiao on top of him when he was still unconscious after the accident.

It wasn't just them; there were many others who truly cared about him.

Thankfully, Yu Zhe is alright. If something had really happened to him back then, how heartbroken would those who care about him have been?

This is the source of Yu Zhe's anger.

Hearing Qi Jiang's expected denial, Yu Zhe sneered, "Fine, since it wasn't arranged by Senior Qi, then you probably don't know Qin Yang either."

This person, I suppose.

"No...I don't know him."

Qi Jiang certainly recognized him. Back then, he personally summoned Qin Yang to his office and gave him the order to assassinate Su Yuzhe under the pretext of a car accident.

Who knew that this person, even when he was desperate, would hesitate and be indecisive, thus failing to accomplish anything!

Fortunately, although the goal was not achieved, he had already been threatened, so he dared not betray the Qi family.

Yu Zhe continued, "It's okay if you say you don't know him. Senior, guess something. The person who hit me back then, to put it bluntly, was driving under the influence, which resulted in me being injured, but not seriously."

"It's such a simple case, yet Qin Yang has been imprisoned for five years. Senior, can you guess why he hasn't been released yet?"

Qi Jiang continued to feign ignorance: "I can guess what that old man was like... Haha, it must be because the Su family has a lot of influence. He's just an ordinary person, yet he dared to hit the eldest young master of the Su family. With a little maneuvering from the Su family, he'd be locked up for at least ten or eight years. Even if he's released sometime, I think the Su family definitely won't let him off easy, haha... Driving after drinking is really dangerous!"

No, that's not it.

Yu Zhe tapped the table with his finger: "Our Su family isn't like your Qi family, always seeking revenge. Let me be frank, if we had released Qin Yang back then, what would have happened to him?"

"Qin Yang is an insider. He knows all the details of that car accident and the mastermind behind it. Given that, do you think the Qi family will let him go free? Even if you promise him that you will only stop helping him repay his debts if the mission fails, based on my understanding of the old man, you would probably just kill him to silence him. After all, the dead can't speak."

"!"

Qi Jiang was momentarily dazed, because he had thought of a possibility.

Yu Zhe nodded at this point: "That's right. The Su family has kept him locked up until now, ostensibly as revenge, but actually to protect him. If there's no bait, how can you catch a big fish? Don't you think so, senior?"

Qi Jiang was surprised, but only for a short while; after all, it was still within reason.

He stood up, leaning on his tiger-head cane, and took a deep breath: "Let me make this clear first, young friend Yu Zhe, I have not admitted that the Qi family was responsible for what happened back then. Furthermore, even if the Qi family was responsible, what you just said is meaningless."

“You won’t get any useful information from Qin Yang. Even if he reveals who’s behind him, it could be a frame-up to drag others down with him!”

Fortunately, Qi Jiang had considered this possibility and had long ago erased all evidence that could prove he had instructed Qin Yang, leaving no room for error.

At this point, both of them knew that the personnel in charge of the inspection were getting closer and closer, but the situation was becoming increasingly unpredictable.

To be honest, even Qi Jiang was getting a little anxious.

To his surprise, Yu Zhe simply shrugged and said, "I know, senior. Don't be in a hurry, so let me finish. As I just said, if there's no evidence, I can 'create evidence'."

61. Are they all moles? (Seeking votes at the beginning of the month!)

"Fabricating evidence? Heh heh, in other words, young friend Yu Zhe, are you really fabricating false evidence? That's a pity. No matter how real the evidence looks on the surface, it's still fake in reality. Trying to bring down a large family with false evidence is just a pipe dream."

Just as Qi Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, Yu Zhe said with a helpless sarcasm, "Why do you think like that, senior? When I said I was creating evidence, did I say I was creating false evidence? I can tell you that the evidence I arranged is 100% real, and the inspectors will be here with the evidence in a few minutes."

"You! Ugh, what a charade! Is this how all the younger generation is these days?!"

These young people have no sportsmanship! Seriously, they only tell you half of what they're saying, leaving you to guess the rest.

However, Yu Zhe's words just now, "the evidence is genuine," still made Qi Jiang's worries increase slightly. He didn't like this situation where he couldn't fully control the situation.

The problem is that we currently know too little information.

..................................

Let's go back half an hour.

Just as Yu Zhe arrived at the Qi Group building, Qin Ruoke also arrived at her destination as instructed by Yu Zhe.

In the file folder that Yu Zhe gave her, besides a circuit diagram, there were several handwritten documents.

Her first destination was actually the dilapidated apartment she had previously lived in.

What Yu Zhe asked her to do was get a bank card.

This bank card was previously used by Qin Ruoke's father, Qin Yang. As far as she knew, in addition to his existing debts, her father also had a substantial loan from the bank.

So Qin Ruoke felt a headache whenever she thought about this bank card, knowing she would have to repay the loan sooner or later. After moving, she kept the card locked in a cabinet and never took it out, since nobody wants to see a pile of loans every day.

Although she didn't know what Yu Zhe wanted the bank card for, Qin Ruoke still found it as quickly as possible and put it in the file folder.

Leaving the small apartment, her next destination was another familiar place: the prison where Qin Yang was being held.

The task is simple: just hand this file folder to the person in charge there.

And it should be mentioned that: "The Su family's plan is about to come to an end."

Qin Ruoke took a taxi there and stood in front of the prison gate, but today, her feelings were completely different from usual. This time, she was not there to visit, but to end it all.

Because this time there was none.

The necessary procedures were required, so it was only natural that the staff stopped them.

Qin Ruoke showed them several documents that Yu Zhe had written on the paper.

The two staff members clearly showed expressions of disbelief and utter surprise.

They didn't dare to delay at all and quickly walked ahead to lead Qin Ruoke to the office of the person in charge here.

Qin Ruoke was actually very anxious. She entered the office and, without any hesitation, placed the documents on the desk in the center and said to the person in charge, "It's time to close the net on the Su family's plan."

This statement was like a thunderclap out of nowhere.

The office manager and other staff members immediately put down their work, and several of them used landlines to make calls to other organizations.

The person in charge opened the file and checked it one by one. Then he stubbed out his cigarette and said in a steady tone, "Miss Qin, right? Come with me. We need to release Qin Yang immediately."

It's really done just like that?

Although Qin Ruoke was overjoyed, she was even more grateful to Yu Zhe, for this kindness was something she could never repay in her lifetime.

She followed several people in charge to the detention area. Everyone moved quickly and efficiently, as if they were in a great hurry.

Qin Ruoke waited at the entrance of the detention area. After a while, the person in charge appeared in front of her with Qin Yang.

When Qin Ruoke saw Qin Yang's haggard face, she quickly went to greet him: "Dad, are you alright!"

"Ah... I'm fine."

Qin Yang, who hadn't seen the sunlight in a long time, struggled to open his eyes and looked at his daughter standing in front of him with relief.

But then, his relief turned into determination in his eyes: "Xiao Ke, let's talk later. Since you're here and have released me, it means that Young Master Su Yuzhe's plan has begun, right?"

"Okay, next we're going to meet up with Yu Zhe."

"Alright, in that case, we must go help Young Master Su Yuzhe right away!"

Qin Ruoke wasn't surprised that Qin Yang knew about Yu Zhe's plan, because of the words Yu Zhe whispered in her ear that rainy night.

"Actually, your father is one of us—he's the mole. Now you can stop blaming yourself, right?"

Before the father and daughter could finish speaking...

After finishing the call, the person in charge said with a serious expression, "There is no time. We need to leave now for the Qi Group Building. We will need your testimony later. Please cooperate with our work."

Qin Ruoke nodded.

She saw that many vehicles from the detention center were flashing their lights and honking their horns in succession as they left in an orderly fashion.

What she didn't know was that, at the same time, not only here, but also various departments in Fenghai City mobilized a considerable number of personnel from all directions to the Qi Group headquarters.

This day was destined to be extraordinary for the business community of Fenghai City.

...............................

Let's return our focus to the current headquarters of the Qi Group.

The two people at the center of the incident are still testing each other.

No, perhaps it's just Qi Jiang testing the waters.

He was already starting to waver: "Young friend Yu Zhe, could you please explain yourself more clearly? What exactly do you mean by 'fabricating evidence'? You need to understand that no one can create something out of nothing."

This statement is clearly meaningless.

Yu Zhe didn't respond to him directly, but instead said something mysterious.

"Actually, not long ago, I had a conversation with the 'public' head of the Qi family."

The nominal head of the family clearly refers to Qi Yi, the head of the Qi family who has no real power.

Qi Jiang asked without thinking, "What did you say?"

Yu Zhe casually took the cup and drank a sip of goji berry water before telling Qi Jiang the crucial information.

“I told him that if I used some underhanded tactics to get him two-thirds of the Qi family’s liquid assets, could he take over the Qi family independently and become a true head of the Qi family?”

Yu Zhe still remembers Qi Yi's expression at that time, which went from surprise to disbelief, and then to delight.

He did ask at the time: Why can I trust you?

Yu Zhe's answer was also concise and clear: Do you still have a way out now? You're just a meaningless puppet, living a meaningless life. If you don't believe me, then do you believe your old classmate, my father, and your own daughter, Qi Xinye? In any case, the current situation can't be worse than it is now. Or rather, if you believe me, you might have a chance to lead the Qi family onto the truly right path.

Clearly, this statement finally made Qi Jiang lose his temper.

He practically slammed his fist on the table as he stood up: "Absurd!"
