Not knowing exactly how many phone calls he made, Zhang Youze finally reached a city leader with whom he had some connections, who had coincidentally attended the morning's car exhibition, and heard something that gave him a clue.

"For this matter, you should check the surveillance footage."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Youze slapped his forehead hard, realizing he'd forgotten such an important clue in his frantic state. If something happened during the car exhibition, wouldn't he know everything by watching the surveillance footage?

Suppressing his inner agitation, Zhang Youze watched the surveillance footage for a while. As he watched, his pupils suddenly contracted sharply, and he punched the table with a "bang," gritting his teeth and dialing his son's number with trembling fingers.

When the call connected, Zhang Youze roared in unprecedented anger: "Get over here to see me, now! Immediately! Right away!"

As one of the noteworthy figures in Lidu City, Zhang Youze had also attended the banquet held to welcome He Qing.

When he saw Qin Ruoying, whom he had mistaken for Qin Ruojing, in the surveillance footage, along with He Qing's unforgettable face, he immediately knew where the problem lay.

At this moment, he really felt like he could strangle his son. How could this boy be so blind and have offended such powerful figures?

What bothered and worried Zhang Youze even more was that in the surveillance footage, He Qing's gaze was always on the man arguing with his son. When they left, "Qin Ruojing" and He Qing even followed behind that man.

In Zhang Youze's eyes, He Qing was already a super figure he could only look up to, so what kind of person could that man, whom He Qing was following, be?

Moreover, even setting He Qing aside, just one "Qin Ruojing" was already a more formidable character than he was. The power of Tianjiao Group was far stronger than his own company!

Before long, Zhang Jinghui stepped into Zhang Youze's office.

This time, Zhang Youze did not spare his son at all, launching into a tirade, glaring at Zhang Jinghui with a look that could kill, and demanded him to recount the morning's events in full detail.

When Zhang Jinghui heard his father mention He Qing, he was stunned with fear, sweat pouring from his forehead, and like his father, he immediately thought of a particular question.

Just who was the so-called neighbor of He Qing who had beaten him up the other day?

What puzzled Zhang Jinghui even more was why these two powerful figures, with such immense influence, dressed so plainly and lived in such a shabby place like Yipin Spring City?

Nonetheless, regardless of their myriad doubts, since the incident had already occurred, what the father and son currently needed to do was pacify those powerful figures' anger at any cost.

Otherwise, it would be nothing less than a catastrophe for their family's business. Today, their car exhibition was halted; who knows if tomorrow someone would mess with their company? Or if there might be some even more ruthless trick the day after?

Today's issue arose over a Ferrari 458, so Zhang Youze decided to use this Ferrari 458 to apologize, even though it pained him greatly. But if it could calm those powerful figures' anger, it would be worth it.

After retrieving the Ferrari 458 from the exhibition center where the car exhibition had been halted, the father and son headed towards Yipin Spring City District.

After the incident with Mysterious Star, Zhang Jinghui had found out Chu Shiyao's address, and since Chu Ge and He Qing claimed to be neighbors of Chu Shiyao, theoretically, they should also live there.

Harboring a try-it-and-see attitude, the father and son parked the Ferrari 458 under Chu Ge's building, then, with immense apprehension, they went up to the eleventh floor and knocked on the doors of Chu Ge and He Qing's apartments, respectively.

After knocking for a while without seeing Chu Ge and He Qing, a seemingly ordinary but sharply-eyed woman walked downstairs; she was He Qing's female bodyguard.

Eyeing the Zhang father and son, He Qing's female bodyguard asked, "Do you have any business here?"

Although the other party seemed ordinary, Zhang Youze dared not be the least bit negligent at this moment and quickly said, "May I ask if He Qing Miss He lives here?"

"If you need something, I can relay the message."

"I am Zhang Youze, and this is my son Zhang Jinghui. We wish to pay our respects to Miss He Qing in person for certain matters."

After contacting He Qing and receiving a positive response, the female bodyguard told the father and son, "Miss He is at the beach, you may go there."

Upon hearing this, the Zhang father and son thanked her repeatedly, rushed downstairs, and drove the Ferrari 458 speedily towards the beach.

At this time, Chu Ge, He Qing, and Qin Ruoying were on the beach, each reclining on a lounge chair, leisurely sipping drinks under a parasol, enjoying the sea breeze and relaxing.

The three of them were lined up, with He Qing on the far left, Chu Ge in the middle, and Qin Ruoying on the far right.

He Qing hung up the phone and slightly curled her lips; she was not at all surprised that Zhang Jinghui's father would come looking for her. The reason she agreed to see these two was to build momentum for Chu Ge, and of course, it was also to see how Chu Ge would handle the upcoming events.

Chu Ge was watching a group of young girls playing volleyball on the beach. As they jumped around, golden sand stuck to their legs, and their laughter echoed as they hit the colorful volleyball into the air.

Chu Ge was so caught up in the infectious laughter that he almost wanted to join Qin Ruoying and He Qing for a game of volleyball.

Yes, with such a great sea and weather, playing volleyball sounds fantastic.

Just as Chu Ge was thinking this, he suddenly heard a series of envious exclamations from around him.

The young women who were playing volleyball stopped and looked toward the direction of the exclamations, their eyes filled with as much envy as their hearts.

"Look, look, someone actually drove a car onto the beach. Isn't that a Ferrari?"

"Oh my god, that's a Ferrari 458, a car worth over five million!"

"This car is so flashy! I really want to sit in it!"

"This is the first time I've seen a Ferrari 458 in my life!"

Seeing the car, Chu Ge couldn't help but laugh. He thought to himself, the Zhang family sure are talented, driving a car onto the beach like this. Aren't they just looking for trouble?

Not to mention how easily they could hit someone; even if that's put aside, the car's tires could easily get stuck in the sand, and then they'd have to find someone to help dig it out.

He glanced sideways at He Qing and saw her looking at him, indicating she had anticipated the arrival of this car.

Chu Ge and He Qing exchanged a smile as Qin Ruoying frowned slightly. "Brother-in-law, isn't that the car we saw this morning? The one with that brain-dead guy in the passenger seat?"

Chu Ge nodded, "Yeah, that's the brain-dead one, and the driver should be his dad."

"Brother-in-law, they're not here to cause trouble for you, are they?"

Chu Ge grinned, "You give them too much credit. Watch, they're here to apologize to Miss He. But to drive a Ferrari onto the beach, father and son are quite the oddballs."

"Maybe they're just in too much of a hurry?"

Qin Ruoying also laughed and turned her gaze back to the fiery red Ferrari 458.

As it turns out, Chu Ge was right. Zhang Youze was indeed anxious. He didn't believe he was so important that He Qing would patiently wait here for him. So, even though driving onto the beach seemed brainless, he didn't care about that; he just wanted to find He Qing quickly and apologize.

Finally, Zhang Youze's eyes lit up as he saw He Qing, Chu Ge, and Qin Ruoying.

However, before he could be happy about it, the tires got stuck in the sand. The car halted abruptly, and due to inertia, both he and Zhang Jinghui in the passenger seat lurched forward, hitting their heads and ending up with a couple of bumps and a stinging pain.

Ignoring the throb on his forehead, Zhang Youze took a deep breath, got out of the car with his son, and discreetly assessed Chu Ge before approaching He Qing with a respectful demeanor.

"Miss He, I'm Zhang Youze. We met at the party. I wonder if you remember?"

He Qing smiled slightly, "I'm sorry, I can't remember. May I ask what's the matter, Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Youze's face twitched slightly. Usually, in such formalities, you would say you remember, right? But He Qing said this... clearly disregarding him.

Of course, even so, he dared not harbor any resentment. After all, He Qing's status was evident, and she didn't need to show him respect.

Moreover, his foolish son had done something inappropriate. The fact that He Qing agreed to meet them was already a colossal favor.

Gathering his thoughts swiftly, Zhang Youze respectfully said, "Miss He, I hear my son was somewhat presumptuous with you, so I brought him here specifically to apologize."

With that, Zhang Youze gave Zhang Jinghui's head a smack, signaling him to say something quickly.

With a woeful expression and a flustered mind, Zhang Jinghui was jolted back to reality by his father's smack, losing his balance and falling headfirst into the sand, looking utterly disheveled.

However, the slap did wake Zhang Jinghui up. He hurriedly stood up from the sand, not bothering to wipe the sand from his nose and mouth, and fearfully said, "Miss He, I was wrong. I didn't recognize your greatness. I'm sorry."

As he spoke, sand sprayed from Zhang Jinghui's mouth, making him look all the more pathetic and comical.
