Zhao Ming was alard and nearly spilled his wine in the process.
"As if I would do sothing that risky in telling the guards to fra them?" Zhao Ming rolled his eyes.
He rely wanted to disrupt the party to lessen Zhao Xin’s dominance. Never once did he expect it to actually hinder Zhao Xin’s position or importance in Zhao Gaofu’s mind.
"Huh? You didn’t instruct them?" Confused, Zhao Heng found it surprising.
Other than him, who else could instruct the guards and make them take such a risk.
"I thought it was you who used the woman as your witness to cover your actions." Zhao Ming returned the accusation back to him.
"Hah, that’s funny. I’m busy thrusting them, and you overestimate if you think I can command the guards."
"If it’s not you and not , then who else?"
When Zhao Ming brought this point up, both of them suddenly realized there was a hidden person who was aligned with their objective. And this hidden person was also soone of a high status within the Zhao Family.
The further they attempted to ponder, the more frightened and cautious they beca. In the end, both decided to keep the matter silent without actually saying it aloud.
As the two brothers realized the severity of this matter, Xu Feng was visibly seen grabbing a plate and taking multiple foods to the large table. The party was like a giant buffet, with many different types of delicacies— so even costing 1000 dollars a piece to eat.
"How are you still in the mood to eat, Feng?" Zhao Kai, who was normally the foodie, gazed at Xu Feng in shock. Just earlier, he was lectured harshly by Zhao Xin, prompting his appetite to decrease trendously.
"You got lectured, but I didn’t." Xu Feng replied, taking another bite of juicy tenderized at. "And I had to deal with an old fogey, so I’m starving."
Zhao Kai couldn’t even respond properly because the timing was insane.
After all, as soon as Xu Feng said his last sentence, a person was walking toward them.
"Are you going to keep calling
an old fogey?" Hans Pang, who had unintentionally heard Xu Feng’s remark toward him.
"Wow, eavesdropping is very elderly of you." Unfazed, Xu Feng turned around and smiled at him.
"You spoke loudly so how can it be considered eavesdropping, young man?"
"Right, but I was conversing with my friend, so why did you interrupt?"
"..."
Zhao Kai felt the tense atmosphere as he continued to listen to their conversation. He even began to wonder if Xu Feng ate the wrong dicine and planned on offending everyone tonight.
"Hahaha, we’re all here to enjoy the party, so why don’t we—"
"Be quiet," Both Xu Feng and Hans Pang said simultaneously, forcing Zhao Kai to shut his mouth.
Once Zhao Kai was silent, Xu Feng’s gaze remained on Hans Pang, "Anyway, what did you want to talk about? I doubt you ca over here just for a verbal fight."
"I just want to ask if you happen to know who the mastermind behind it was." Hans Pang asked coolly. At the end of the day, the youngster from his family was used as a pawn. It was a difficult pill to swallow, given that their family would beco a laughing matter once it spread around.
"You’ve asked the wrong person then." Xu Feng sighed and shook his head.
"I can only tell you that we’re both victims of this play and to be honest, they probably did it knowing your temper well."
"What do you an?"
"Oh, please, don’t feign ignorance. We both know very well that you would push the bla on
if I hadn’t retaliated fiercely. Thus, I ignite the fla harder to make it a big ss. That way, you can’t just pinpoint
alone and resolve the matter."
By the ti Xu Feng finished his statent, a grin could be seen on his face.
As for Hans Pang, he was silent, but inwardly, he was baffled.
Indeed, just like Xu Feng had said. He didn’t care about anything else aside from their reputation, so what was wrong in blaming an innocent bystander without any background?
Alas, that was his mistake, considering this no-background kid was actually an iron spike.
"I’m a man of my word, so I won’t pursue this matter any longer now that Miss Xin has detained the guards." Hans Pang said after much difficulty.
Likewise, Xu Feng nodded in agreent. The situation was no longer ideal to continue to delve into, and they would be foolish to resu the fight for no reason.
Hans Pang rely wanted to give a warning to Xu Feng to not make another ss, but he realized it was pointless of him to do so.
After all, it was clear that Xu Feng already knew what to do.
Shortly after Hans Pang left them alone, Zhao Kai walked to Xu Feng and said, "Feng, you must accompany
to all events. Your aggro is very big."
"Scram," Xu Feng rolled his eyes and pushed him away.
What an ungrateful person he was?

He had helped him alleviate most of the problems, yet Zhao Kai was still unsatisfied.
"Heh, don’t be like that, Feng." Zhao Kai smiled sheepishly and grabbed a delicious piece of fried calamari. "Here, have so of this."
anwhile, the party officially comnced, with many beginning to sing Happy Birthday and wishing Zhao Gaofu a blissful year. At the sa ti, nurous guests started to walk forward with huge presents of their own.
When Zhao Gaofu opened so of the presents, most of them were like ancient relics or extrely valuable items costing at least 300 thousand dollars.
"Hahaha, you are all too much for gifting this old man this kind of valuable gift." Zhao Gaofu laughed rrily, clearly pleased with the gifts.
"Grandfather, you should be careful of your health." Zhao Xin warned gently from the side. "Little Kai has also arrived, so why don’t I bring him over to greet you."
"Little Kai?" Zhao Gaofu raised an eyebrow, his expression changing slightly before shaking his head. "You naughty little girl."
