Completely ignoring the feelings and thoughts of He Rongxuan and the four guards, Lin Fei swaggered inside.

"Lin Fei, don't say I didn't warn you. When you meet the old man later, it's best to show some respect. After all, he's still my grandfather. You can't be too casual." Mu Shanshan gave Lin Fei a heads-up. After all, her mother is the old man's biological daughter. Even if the elder behaves improperly, it's not for the younger generation to criticize.

Mu Shanshan is resentful, but she came to get an explanation, not to cause trouble, and she can't let Lin Fei cause a scene.

Lin Fei understood what Mu Shanshan meant, pondering inwardly. If the He Family cooperates, that's fine; but if they bully this young master, this young master's methods aren't to be underestimated.

Lin Fei immediately replied with a chuckle, "Whatever my wife says, I'll listen to the party's command. If we're told to go east, we won't go west; if chasing a dog, we won't catch a chicken. Hehe!"

Mu Shanshan was instantly speechless. Why did she marry such a rogue?

But Lin Fei's interruption made her feel much better. Her originally tense mood softened slightly.

Meanwhile, He Rongxuan couldn't swallow his pride and refused to endure Lin Fei's arrogance. He took a shortcut and returned to the He Family's row house.

With a few strides, He Rongxuan, face full of anger, reached the third floor of the villa, where the old man resides.

Study.

The old man was deeply focused, sketching a landscape painting. A lifetime of storms had left him with thick historical sediment.

A single landscape painting encapsulated his past glorious times.

"What's going on? So impatient—has Shanshan arrived?" After a while, the old man's long-practiced Tai Chi habits kept him calm, unflustered by anything. He set down his brush and looked at He Rongxuan, frowning.

"Yes! Father, Shanshan is here, and her husband, Lin Fei, has come too." At this, He Rongxuan couldn't hide his frustration, ashamed that he couldn't handle a young guy.

"Heh! Seems this kid isn't completely useless!" Seeing his eldest son's defeated look, the old man smirked coldly. No matter what, he intended to find a better husband for his granddaughter. A cocky young guy wasn't worth his consideration, even if he was a bit clever.

"Since that's the case, Rongxuan, do as you see fit!" The old man waved, suggesting He Rongxuan feel free to act.

"Alright! Father, I'll definitely make sure he rolls back to where he came from." He Rongxuan replied, then turned to leave.

...

It is now noon, and the banquet is supposed to start at 6 PM.

However, hundreds of people have already entered the He residence today, marking a day of celebration, at least for the pleasure-seekers. Those with some sense focus on making friends and building relationships.

Officials talk politics, magnates discuss collaboration, sharply divided.

But some will cross lines—business and politics often go hand in hand.

The villa hall covers nearly a thousand meters, yet with hundreds present, it still feels spacious.

At this point, a group of people walked into the villa hall, all sporting glamorous fashion brands. The women were sexy and beautiful, while the men either drooped their hands or limped awkwardly, looking quite odd.

Leading was a young man with his right hand in a cast, grimacing as he walked. His eyes sinister, sweeping around, making everyone he glanced at feel a chill down their spine.

Beside him stood another young man and a noble woman.

The young man spoke, "Yu-ge, I've found out they're two outsiders from Zhonghai City. They haven't been here for two days, staying at a nearby five-star hotel."

Ma Han was furious. He spent all night on calls, finally getting some information about the couple from last night. They turned out to be outsiders, staying at a five-star hotel, making it hard for him to take action. So he had to seek He Zhengyu.

Moreover, his father wanted him to connect with the He Family, which would provide the Ma Shipyards a chance for further development. Now, with this shared enemy, there's a chance to bond as comrades, an opportunity not to be missed.

Though he'd wish to handle it all first and then seek He Zhengyu's favor, reality doesn't allow it! How can a corporation compare to official power?

"Yu-er, they struck too fiercely, they must be properly taught a lesson." The noblewoman on He Zhengyu's other side also spoke, looking at his injured arm full of concern and blazing anger.

"Right, after Grandpa's birthday, I'll ask Uncle to arrest them. Let them know, in the main city, they must abide by its rules." He Zhengyu announced sternly.

He suffered the worst injuries, with a broken arm and damaged waist. Usually, he bullied others, never having been beaten so badly, hence his determination for revenge.

Additionally, his mother, Wu Xiuli, is the sister of the deputy director of the main city's police station, his uncle. This close relationship allows him to be untouchable in the main city. Having suffered such a huge loss, he must seek revenge.

Simultaneously, as He Zhengyu entered the villa, Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan arrived outside the house, having strolled the outskirts of the villa before.

"Those guys?" Seeing the somewhat familiar backs of the group, Lin Fei felt he had seen them somewhere.

"Do you know them?" Mu Shanshan asked, casting a curious glance at Lin Fei.

"I think I was the one who hit this group last night." Lin Fei replied hesitantly.

But when Lin Fei saw Mu Shanshan's increasingly chilly face, his heart sank. Damn this motor mouth, always saying the wrong thing.

"Lin Fei, you actually went to fight people while I was drunk last night? Did you forget my warnings?" Mu Shanshan glared at Lin Fei resentfully, feeling he was inviting trouble. Having hit someone, it's fine if unnoticed, but now the opponent is inside, and they are about to enter. Isn't that like walking into a trap, starting another dispute?

"It's okay, honey. Don't worry, I'll handle it. They're nothing to me." Lin Fei said confidently.

Unfortunately, Mu Shanshan was not appreciative, "Lin Fei, you've really disappointed me."

"No, wife, listen to me, last night..."

"That's enough, let's go in!" Mu Shanshan interrupted Lin Fei, cold-faced and expressionless.

Lin Fei knew Mu Shanshan was angry.
