A new day, the city is still abuzz with last night's events.
For the general public, nothing can capture attention more than such a shocking and thrilling news.
It even trended on Weibo, with videos of the scene widely circulated on WeChat Moments, causing quite a stir across the province and even the whole country.
As the female protagonist of the incident, Situ Yan was naturally summoned early in the morning to the office of the city's senior leaders to discuss her commendation matters.
Additionally, they needed to arrange the follow-up comfort and aftermath work for last night's hostages and order the cooling down of online discussions to eliminate negative impacts.
Situ Yan didn't really want to accept the reward, feeling unworthy of it, but she was like a duck forced onto the rack and had no choice but to sulk in silence—if only Jiang Feng hadn't made a hasty retreat last night!
In contrast to the focus of the common citizens and senior leaders, several prominent business people in Binhai City were also meeting today, but they were discussing the division of the other half of Han's industry.
Throughout history, dividing a piece of the interest pie has always been the most difficult thing to coordinate and negotiate.
Even though these business moguls are usually decent friends, when it comes to their own interests, no one is willing to give in easily.
Thus, these giants of Binhai engaged in fierce discussions at the meeting, with a hint of fiery confrontations brewing.
If they cannot reach a consensus through meetings, they will have to resort to private means, possibly even involving a real showdown.
The one with the bigger appetite and tougher tactics can swallow more benefits and make themselves more influential in Binhai.
...
Jiang Feng wasn't interested in last night's incident or the division of interests by those moguls; he only cared about one thing—the news of Uncle Hai's death must have reached Huangfu Shang and the Huangfu Family, right?
But still, there was no response.
He didn't believe Huangfu Shang was someone who would let matters rest, there must be more to come, but he didn't have time to go to the Provincial City to settle accounts with Huangfu Shang, so he had to let him live for a couple more days.
Early this morning, Jiang Feng routinely arrived at the Fengming Security Room.
As soon as he saw Heizi, this guy's dark face was full of happiness and glowing with joy.
Heizi indeed had a great life recently, deeply immersed in love with Fangfang, even holding a phone call early in the morning, indulging in flirtatious talks that made Jiang Feng uncomfortable.
"Didn't you just part? Is it necessary to be so clingy?"
Jiang Feng entered the security room, seeing the messy bed, and knew Fangfang must have spent the night there again, with a fierce battle leaving chaos even under the bed.
"What do you know? This is called the feeling of being in love!" Heizi, ending the call, smugly brags to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng shook his head, too lazy to bother with him, and went straight into the security room.
"Hey, did you hear about it last night? That thing at Longyu Building?" Heizi hurried in and reignited his gossip fire.
Jiang Feng knew this guy only cared about things unrelated to him because he had nothing better to do, so he ignored him further, focused on the computer, pondering the issue of the Huangfu Family.
A day passed without a word.
At the end of the day, Jiang Feng saw Heizi, already dressed up in the morning, looking flashy as he went to find Fangfang. Originally, Jiang Feng also wanted to go to school to pick up Nangong Qingcheng and the other two girls when suddenly, a black Highlander stopped at the security room's door, bringing an unexpected visitor.
A familiar yet surprising face walked straight into the security room, saying directly to Jiang Feng, "Come with me!"
Jiang Feng frowned, dissatisfied with Situ Jingjie's forceful tone.
"Something up?" He knew the other party must be here about Situ Zhenjiang's birthday tomorrow but still asked knowingly.
"You'll know once we go outside." Dressed in casual clothes, Situ Jingjie glanced at Jiang Feng and continued with an undeniable tone.
"Where to?" Jiang Feng playfully asked.
"Find a suitable place for a private chat." Situ Jingjie said without lifting his eyelids, then turned and walked out.
Jiang Feng thought about it, then pulled out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Nangong Qingcheng, telling them he wouldn't be able to make it tonight, then left the security room and got into the Highlander's passenger seat.
Ten minutes later, Situ Jingjie drove to the entrance of a bustling bar.
This bar, named "Blue Bar," is famous in South City, with a scale comparable to the Chu Group's Dynasty, busy with mixed crowds. Situ Jingjie chose this location to avoid disturbance from irrelevant people.
The two entered the bar, chose a relatively elegant booth, and Situ Jingjie didn't order any drinks, just two glasses of water, and straightforwardly stared at Jiang Feng, saying, "Jiang Feng, you should know why I brought you out, right?"
"I'd love to hear it." Jiang Feng calmly smiled.
"Don't play dumb while you know the truth! I ask you, how is your relationship with Situ Yan now?" Situ Jingjie coldly stared at Jiang Feng.
"As it was, it remains, all normal." Jiang Feng replied with a smile.
Situ Jingjie's face instantly darkened upon hearing this!
"It seems you haven't taken my last reminders and advice to heart?" He squinted and said.
"Last time, I also made it clear, no one can force Situ Yan to do what she doesn't want, not even you or her grandfather."
Jiang Feng calmly said, "So if you're here this time to persuade me or give me a warning, I advise you not to waste your breath. When Jiang Feng says something, he means it."
"So, you're truly planning to ruin our Old Man's birthday banquet tomorrow?"
Situ Jingjie's expression grew more sinister: "I warn you, my grandfather, Situ Zhenjiang, is no ordinary person, highly esteemed; even Binhai's leaders treat him with respect and courtesy! So I don't want any trouble at his birthday banquet, which would be a disgrace to the entire Situ Family, do you understand what I mean?"
"What's it got to do with me?" Jiang Feng laughed, "My actions are solely for Situ Yan! If your grandfather stops giving her a hard time, I'd naturally not bother with him. But if he persists, someone has to stand up and speak up."
"You call this speaking up?" Situ Jingjie sneered, "Jiang Feng, you're insatiable and greedy! You can't give my sister happiness, yet you hold onto her heart. Pretending to care for her while being selfish! You want to possess her for your desires but won't even give her a status!"
Jiang Feng's face turned cold as he heard this!
"Situ Jingjie, I've been polite to you multiple times because you're Situ Yan's cousin, but that's not a reason for you to overstep!"
"Regarding Situ Yan, as I said, it's her matter to decide!"
"No one can interfere with her; if you force her, claiming it's for her good, then sorry, I, Jiang Feng, won't stand idly by! On this point, your selfishness exceeds mine!"
Listening to Jiang Feng speaking so directly, Situ Jingjie couldn't hold back anymore!
He stood up abruptly, staring at Jiang Feng, exuding a threatening aura: "So there's nothing to discuss?"
"When did we ever have something to discuss? You're the one going out of your way." Jiang Feng coldly replied, unbothered by Situ Jingjie's oppressive presence.
Situ Jingjie's face turned blue and red!
At this moment, he felt like grabbing the glass of water on the table and smashing it onto Jiang Feng's head!
