When Qin Feng heard the news that Liu Yun had been causing trouble for the Bai He Sect, he was stunned, his mouth open so wide it could easily swallow an egg. "The beautiful woman scolded him gently, lowering her gaze to his wildly excited face and said, 'Don't get too excited yet. What if White Crane Sect really falls into her hands? Then you'll be facing far more than just the Celestial Reason Sect!' 'Who knows what will happen in the future,' Qin Feng said, completely undeterred by this cool splash of water. 'Perhaps she truly succeeds in taking over White Crane Sect and sees a significant boost in her strength. But during this process, my own strength is steadily growing as well. By then, it's still uncertain who will prevail. Moreover, how easy is it to simply take over a cultivation sect? Maybe White Crane Sect has many disciples lacking resolve, but their senior monks and abbot surely can't all be without self-control!' Even if Liu Yun put forth every ounce of effort to fully secure a cultivation sect, it wouldn't be an easy task—first, it would require time, possibly several months, or even years." The beautiful senior sister wrinkled her nose cutely and said, "Well, you're quite bold in your thinking. Here's another good news—my aunt is fully committed to handling the Bai He Gate, so things from that side will inevitably be delegated to me. It's finally my time to step forward!" Although Liu Yun's personal life was extremely chaotic, her passion for power had never wavered, no matter how many men entered her life. Thus, Liu Su judged that her aunt would not initially entrust her with too much authority. Of course, once she successfully managed the several key tasks arranged by the Master at the beginning, the rest would naturally follow, gradually allowing her access to the core of power. However, other gate masters might not be convinced—some might even deliberately oppose her. Qin Feng had also considered this point and said, "Just let me know what you need—no matter how much, I'll do my best. As an outsider, I'm perfectly willing to take on tasks that you'd find difficult to handle directly." "The beautiful senior sister agrees with me—she smiled and said, 'Dealing with intelligent people is just less stressful. The very first thing you need to do for me is secure a Master of a sect!' Qin, the young lord, asked solemnly, 'Which sect's Master?' 'The Master of our hometown sect,' Liu Su said, one word at a time. She felt it was essential to act first—otherwise, once issues arose, she would lose the Grand Master's trust. In any organization, internal conflicts are unacceptable; bringing in external forces to resolve this was a solid strategy. Qin, the young heir, was the first to be targeted, given that he and Liu Su shared not only a warm, ambiguous relationship but also a cooperative partnership. "No issues," Qin said, finally easing her concerns with a serious tone. "Provide me with his details, and I'll handle him swiftly. How exactly do you want him to die?" Liu Su said with thoughtful intent. "This matter has nothing to do with me. You don't need to ask me anything." "Understood," Qin replied promptly. ... Indeed, Qin Group's land acquisition proposal was rejected by Li Nianshan, citing a mismatch with municipal planning. Mei Hui looked deeply troubled and reported the situation to Qin Feng. "Ah, looks like this man truly intends to stand firm against us." "Qin Dashi smiled and said, 'Since he's already taken the initiative to seek his own downfall, we really have a strong reason to lend a hand!' Mei Hui raised her head and asked, 'Are we going to use the pink news stories to unseat him? That method should be the most effective against corrupt officials!' 'No, no, no,' he said with a thoughtful expression. 'Others have already mastered this approach so well. If I were to follow suit, I'd fall short.' He continued, 'I've already investigated and found that Li Nianshan owns no less than several dozen properties—not only in the provincial capital, but also in Beijing, Shanghai, and Hainan. He's almost on par with the famous "Property Uncle." Though he's quite clever and has registered these properties under others' names, I've managed to uncover the truth!' Mei Hui laughed, 'Shall we report directly to the disciplinary inspection committee, or rely on online exposure?' 'We'll do both,' Qin Dashi said, extending two fingers. 'The power of the public is limitless. If we don't harness it, wouldn't that be a great waste? Otherwise, that man will keep moving around, making efforts to Soon, a fresh news item broke. Li Nianshan, still embracing Song Qi with excitement, felt as though he had firmly secured the leverage over Qin Group. "You claim to be so strong, so powerful—didn't you pressure me to sign the contract? Well, I have the power in my hands. And if I need to cause trouble, I'm doing so according to the rules. Even if I take the case all the way to Beijing, I'll have every reason to prevail," he said. Seeing his enthusiasm, Song Qi gently hesitated, not wanting to dampen his spirits. "Do you think the other side has any real strength or leverage?" she asked cautiously. Li Nianshan scoffed. "What leverage? Impossible. The young people simply lack perspective—they think they're impressive just because they can collaborate with foreigners. Don't forget, we're in the Celestial Empire—everything hinges on what the officials decide!" Song Qi nodded. "The people rarely challenge the officials because they simply don't see them at the same level. Only after they've suffered setbacks will they truly appreciate your value—and then, they'll come to you, humble and eager." "Hmph, I'm not exactly a easy-going person," Li said coldly. "I'll make them pay handsomely when the time comes—see if they dare act so proud afterward!" As he spoke, his phone rang. He assumed it was his wife, so he showed a hint of irritation, but still picked it up. Upon checking the number, he saw it was his secretary.
