"Dad, you must help me get this revenge! That scoundrel Li Yang met me again, and he even beat up our Shen family members. He's truly despicable and shameless!"
After returning home, Shen Yunfeng immediately knelt before Shen Qingshan and complained about Li Yang.
"What? That kid again? That guy is like a persistent ghost, opposing our Shen family time and again. What exactly does he want?"
Shen Qingshan, seeing his subordinate bruised and battered, angrily slammed his fist on the table.
"What? The Situ family head was killed by him?"
Shen Qingshan was greatly shocked, his anger deepening on his face. Stroking his beard, he slowly said, "If that's truly the case, then the situation might not be so simple."
"What's going on? The Situ family head is our backer. If he's gone, won't our Shen family also plummet?" Shen Yunfeng felt a pang of fear seeing his father's reaction.
He couldn't fathom how Li Yang could have killed Situ Jue, even though Li Yang might be telling the truth.
After some thought, Shen Qingshan shook his head and said, "The Situ family is indeed having problems, but their people are currently investigating the matter and haven't found the real culprit. This kid actually stepped forward to admit it."
"It seems this matter is indeed related to him."
"Then what should we do? If he really did it, then our Shen family won't be able to deal with him?" Shen Yunfeng asked worriedly.
"No need to worry. Even if Situ Jue is gone, the Situ family still has others. If we report Li Yang to them and let them deal with him, it would be killing two birds with one stone for us," Shen Qingshan said, stroking his beard.
"Oh? Using them to deal with Li Yang, besides making Li Yang pay the price, what other benefits are there?" Shen Yunfeng asked, confused.
"Don't you know what Situ Jue's biggest objective in Jiangcheng was? Whether it was his dealings with people from Sakura Country or doing business, those were merely facades."
"His true intention was to obtain a secret treasure. And recently, I heard that the treasure map is in Jiangcheng, and just last night, Kuten from Sakura Country got hold of the treasure map."
"The Situ family must have also received this news. They are now working together, outwardly investigating Situ Jue's affairs, but in reality, they all have their own ulterior motives, all wanting to get their hands on that treasure."
"If we use their hands to deal with Li Yang, they will surely fight each other to the point of mutual destruction. At that time, the Situ family won't have the manpower, and our Shen family can seize this opportunity to rise up and share the treasure with Sakura Country," Shen Qingshan said profoundly.
"Dad, so you were also coveting that treasure. I underestimated you before. I thought you weren't interested in that treasure."
Hearing his father's words, Shen Yunfeng looked at him with newfound respect.
He used to think the Shen family couldn't compare to the Situ family, and his father was content to be a lapdog for the Situ family, only needing to curry favor with them.
But now he realized his father was actually a person with great ambition.
Shen Qingshan's lips curved slightly as he looked at Shen Yunfeng and educated him, "Yunfeng, how can a person have no ambition? I just do what is appropriate for my position."
"Before, Situ Jue suppressed us, and we only needed to show favor to him for our benefit. But now, Situ Jue is dead, the Situ family is in chaos, and we are using them to deal with Li Yang. Why wouldn't we do it?"
"You must learn from me in this regard in the future, understand?"
"Understood, Dad. I will definitely learn from you properly."
Shen Yunfeng agreed decisively, then added, "Then I'll go prepare the car for you. The sooner we find the Situ family, the sooner our goal can be achieved."
"Yes, you learn quickly. That's exactly the outcome I want," Shen Qingshan nodded slowly, got up to tidy himself, and prepared to take some things to visit the Situ family.
Meanwhile, at the Qin Family Antique Wholesale Market.
Li Yang parked his car at the entrance and walked into the wholesale market with a joyful expression.
As he entered the market, he saw antiques of various styles, and even the employees gave off a refreshing feeling.
The last time he visited, the market employees were wearing dark blue qipaos, but this time, upon entering, they were all in light pink short skirts, which were very pleasing to the eye.
The business in the shops was clearly much better than before.
"Hello, sir. What can I get for you? Our market has all kinds of antiques, guaranteed to have what you need," a short-haired beauty said with a smile as she saw Li Yang enter.
"I'm a friend of your boss. I'm here to find her. Is she upstairs?" Li Yang asked directly.
"You're looking for our boss?"
The beauty blinked her beautiful eyes, looked Li Yang up and down, and then suddenly realized, smiling, "I remember now. You're Mr. Li Yang, who visited our shop last time, right? Our boss often mentions you."
"Is that so? Then I'm truly honored," Li Yang said calmly.
"Mr. Li, our boss is not in a good mood today. She's upstairs. If you're going to see her, please be careful. When we employees went up to find her earlier, we were all scolded." The beauty leaned closer to Li Yang and whispered a reminder.
"Oh? I'll go take a look. You go ahead and do your work."
Li Yang was very curious. What could make Miss Qin Bingqin so angry? Usually, no one dared to provoke her, right?
Filled with doubt, Li Yang went upstairs directly and arrived at the door of Qin Bingqin's office.
Just as he was about to knock, Li Yang heard a cold reprimand from inside: "How many times have I told you, you don't need to call me anymore. Don't you understand what I'm saying? There's no possibility between us, and you don't need to come to Jiangcheng to find me."
"Also, the things you sent to my house, I didn't accept them. Have your people take them away. If I see them still there when I get off work, I'll just throw them away."
After speaking, Qin Bingqin hung up the phone and tossed it aside.
Li Yang quickly heard a sound of crying from inside. It was clear that Qin Bingqin was both angry and upset, and perhaps a little wronged.
What happened?
Li Yang felt something was wrong, so he gently pushed open the office door and walked in.
"Who allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out..."
Hearing footsteps, Qin Bingqin looked up and was about to scold when she suddenly saw Li Yang, and immediately stopped herself.
She quickly wiped away her tears and forced a calm demeanor, saying, "Mr. Li, why are you here? When did you return from the provincial capital?"
"I just returned yesterday. Who were you on the phone with just now? What happened?" Li Yang walked over, handed her a tissue, and asked curiously.
