Half an hour later, a police car drove into Brocade Manor, and Fang Ji Qiang was sent onto the police car.

Xiao Feng walked back leisurely, analyzing how much of what Fang Ji Qiang said was true.

After some consideration, Xiao Feng believed that the wealthy club and that ten billion gambling deal were unlikely to be false.

As for whether the person was sent by Chang Xinyan, it's still hard to say now, but it can be confirmed that Chang Xinyan was no good person.

Thinking about the wealthy young men in Jiangcheng rallying against him, Xiao Feng found it a bit amusing. There was no grievance or enmity, but some people just like to stir up trouble for no reason.

And Xiao Feng was never one to be afraid of trouble. Since they want to have a showdown, they should be prepared for a broken bone.

Upon returning to the villa, Xiao Feng did not inform Du Qingyue and Jiang Yixin about the assassination attempt, only indirectly reminded them to be careful recently.

However, at this moment, Jiang Yixin suddenly said, "Qingyue, this afternoon, Du Linlang came to see me..."

Upon hearing this, both Xiao Feng and Du Qingyue were taken aback. The latter frowned and asked, "Does she want to recruit you?"

"She wants me to serve as a spy beside you and report all your decisions to her," Jiang Yixin said. "She also said that once she assumes the presidency of Lanyue Group, she would give me the vice-presidency."

"..." Du Qingyue remained silent for a while and then asked, "How did you respond to her?"

"I told her I needed to think about it," Jiang Yixin explained. "This is also a delaying tactic, and we thought we could discuss whether we should pretend to agree to her and then deliberately send her the wrong information?"

Du Qingyue said nothing, but was calculating in her mind whether this was Du Linlang's personal behavior or if it was tacitly approved or even led by the family.

Jiang Yixin noticed Du Qingyue's unease and thought she was being suspected, subconsciously wanting to explain but then felt there was no need.

Trust isn't something that's stated with words; if there is trust, explanation is unnecessary, and if there is no trust, why bother explaining?

Just as the atmosphere was becoming somewhat tense, Xiao Feng spoke up, "Jiang Yixin being willing to tell you about Du Linlang's approach actually already shows her stance on your side..."

Jiang Yixin looked at Xiao Feng, her eyes full of gratitude. Being suspected was a painful feeling, and Xiao Feng stepping up to speak for her made her feel a warmth in her heart.

But to her surprise, just as she was feeling grateful, Xiao Feng leisurely finished his second sentence: "Of course, it also doesn't exclude the possibility that Jiang Yixin is creating a smokescreen, deliberately telling you about Du Linlang's visit to relieve your suspicion and then start her espionage work."

Jiang Yixin glared angrily; this guy was really unreliable, always managing to infuriate people with his words!

Du Qingyue looked at Xiao Feng, unamusedly saying, "I'm already troubled enough, don't add to my frustration. Yixin and I have known each other since high school. I don't believe she would do something against me."

Xiao Feng shrugged and said nothing more.

However, in his heart, he somewhat understood why the Du Family was more inclined towards Du Linlang managing Lanyue Group.

It wasn't about capabilities; it was really about personality.

Just taking the matter with Jiang Yixin as an example, if it were Du Linlang handling it, no matter how sure she was in not being betrayed, she certainly wouldn't dare continue to employ someone.

But Du Qingyue was different; her way of handling things was more emotional.

Simply put, Du Qingyue might be a qualified close friend and confidante, but certainly not a qualified leader.

Of course, Xiao Feng did not deny that he had this issue himself, otherwise, he wouldn't be alone now; he would have formed alliances long ago.

But he didn't feel there was anything wrong with this, because as a person, if you don't even have someone to confide in, that would be quite pitiful.

What Xiao Feng didn't know was that, at the same time he was reaching his conclusion, within the Du Manor, Old Master Du Qingyun had already voiced his conclusion.

...

In the pavilion of the Du Manor, Du Feixiang took a deep breath and said, "So that's what Father thinks, meaning in some aspects, Qingyue is indeed quite naive."

"Business is like a battlefield; those who fail will be devoured without a trace," Du Qingyun stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the night sky. "But don't be too pleased with yourself; there's no one without flaws. Linlang also can't always do as she pleases."

"Yes," Du Feixiang bowed and said, "I will supervise her well; after all, she is still just a child."

"By the way, there's still no news from Qingyue?" Du Qingyun slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to ask.

Du Feixiang smiled and said, "That's something you should ask Zhixiang about, Qingyue is his daughter."

Du Qingyun snorted coldly, seemingly unwilling to hear Du Zhixiang's name, and after a moment said in a deep voice, "Not even a word about such an important event as marriage, and not even coming home for so long, it's getting more and more outrageous."

"You can't say it like that, Qingyue should be busy making the group profitable, it's normal if she can't spare the time," Du Feixiang said.

"Ha, can find time to go have a meal at a hotel, but can't find time to come home?" Du Qingyun clearly wasn't buying it, but still shook his head, "Forget it, let's not talk about this first. Duan Guotai and his son got beaten up by that Xiao Feng, you know about this, right?"

"I've heard a bit," Du Feixiang replied.

Du Qingyun pondered for a moment and said, "What is known now is that after Xiao Feng entered the police station, not only was he not detained, but he became a special consultant. What does that signify?"

Du Feixiang frowned, "That Xiao Feng has considerable backing?"

"Hard to say," Du Qingyun shook his head, "but it can be confirmed that he must have a background..."

After a moment of silence, Du Qingyun said, "Like this, have him and Qingyue come together for a meal. By that time, the truth will come out. If Xiao Feng truly has an influential background, maybe Lanyue Group and our Du Family can benefit from it."

"Uh... Father, before Xiao Feng came out from the police station, the board had already decided to fire him," Du Feixiang said cautiously.

"What?!" Du Qingyun shouted angrily, "Such short-sightedness, making rash decisions before the results are in, it's simply absurd!"

Du Feixiang stood quietly without daring to speak, but in his heart, he was secretly complaining.

After all, at that time, clearing the relationship was the rational approach; no one could have predicted that Xiao Feng would not only be unharmed but would also become a special consultant.

"Inform Du Zhixiang to call Qingyue, and tell her to bring Xiao Feng to come for a meal in a couple of days," Du Qingyun said coldly, "and if it is confirmed that Xiao Feng does really have significant backing..."

He didn't finish the sentence, but Du Feixiang understood what was meant and knew what to do.
