However, the good news is that the Li family did not take any action after the auction, indicating that their target is not Haishi.

It was through this auction that Tang Junnian began to pay attention to Hualong and the movements behind it, and eventually discovered the He family's secret plan.

After some investigation, Tang Junnian's guess was confirmed.

After hearing this, Tang Jiachen's eyes lit up: it turned out that the He family had originally planned to acquire the South Bank land in order to cooperate with the Li family, but the plan fell through because of He Zhicheng's mistake.

Now, by contacting the Li family, they wanted to take action before Zhou Qi and gain the upper hand, or use the power of the Li family to change the situation and restore the He family's status.

Li Jiaxin was investigating in the mainland, but she was not the one who made the final decision. This made things much clearer.

Tang Jiachen’s goal is to win the Li family’s cooperation projects in the mainland.

Since Li Jiaxin is in charge of this inspection, the follow-up work will also be presided over by her.

Therefore, by cooperating with the Li family, Tang Jiachen will have more opportunities to get close to Li Jiaxin.

Now there was an additional layer of complexity. Zhou Qi had irritated Tang Jiachen during the auction. He was determined to save face.

If the Li family's project falls in Guangdong Province, Tang Jiachen will never allow it to fall into the south bank, especially not to let Zhou Qi succeed.

With this in mind, the He family became a good breakthrough point. The combined power of the He family and the Tang Group far exceeded Hualong Teng'ao in strength, and the Li family had no reason to refuse such cooperation.

During this process, Zhou Qi would definitely not sit idly by and watch. It must be unpleasant to watch his project being taken away.

Moreover, once this cooperation is successful, the combination of the Li family, the Tang Group and the He family will have a huge impact on the development pattern of Guangdong Province.

Then, the value of the South Bank project in Hualong Tengao's hands will be greatly reduced, and Zhou Qi may even lose all his money.

Tang Jiachen is not a simple person. He quickly thought of various possibilities. His eyes became sharp, and there was a hint of sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth.

This not only fits his plan, but also plays into his hands.

The next step was clear: extend an olive branch to He Zhicheng. Given the reputation of the Tang Group, the other party would have almost no reason to refuse.

"Zhou Qi! We'll see each other soon." Tang Jiachen said to himself, "When the time comes, I want to see how embarrassed you look."

Seeing his son's expression, Tang Junnian reminded him, "That young man is not simple, don't underestimate the enemy."

"Don't worry, Dad, I know how to deal with him." Tang Jiachen answered confidently.

"This time, victory will definitely be mine."

As evening fell, the new layout had quietly unfolded.

Zhou Qi and Qiao Xuying were having dinner together, but there was a barely perceptible melancholy on Qiao Xuying's face.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Qi asked with concern.

She shook her head gently, "Are you leaving?"

Zhou Qi has recently made comprehensive arrangements for the company's affairs, which makes Qiao Xuying feel that he is about to leave Shencheng.

They were almost inseparable during these days, and they were the happiest days for her.

Although she knew that Zhou Qi would eventually leave, she still felt reluctant and hoped that time could go slower.

Zhou Qi understood her feelings, but still said softly: "I have other company matters to deal with."

Qiao Xuying knew that Zhou Qi’s business extended far beyond Hualong, but she was not aware of the full scope of his business.

Although she was curious, she didn't want to ask too much, so as not to give Zhou Qi the impression that she was interfering too much. She just hoped to have a place in Zhou Qi's heart.

"Let's go and see the land by the Huangpu River tomorrow. It belongs to us now, and we haven't been there yet." Qiao Xuying suggested, "And take a look around Shencheng. You're always so busy every time you come here, so it's good to relax. This is Hualong's home, and you should know this city better."

"Just one day," she added, "and then you can leave. I won't stop you."

Seeing Qiao Xuying's expectant eyes, Zhou Qi nodded.

After getting the answer, Qiao Xueying smiled. At this time, Zhou Qi's phone rang. It was Shi Yifei who called, and her voice was anxious: "Mr. Zhou, Bai Wanting encountered trouble in Kunming."

"What's going on?" Zhou Qi put down his chopsticks and looked serious. He knew Shi Yifei would not call him easily unless there was an emergency.

"Bai Wanting held a concert in the local area. After the concert, the organizer refused to pay the fees and detained Bai Wanting and her team members. Shi Feijie went to negotiate, but there has been no news so far and no one can be contacted." Shi Yifei said anxiously.

As Zhou Qi listened, his expression became more serious.

Hu Jizhong is a well-known figure in the local area. He owns several hotels, especially Yunding Hotel. Although Shi Yifei's words were euphemistic, Zhou Qi knew that Bai Qiaoqiao might be in trouble.

"Which hotel are they staying in?" Zhou Qi asked anxiously.

"It's Hu Jizhong's Yunding Hotel." Shi Yifei replied quickly.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Qi immediately called Shi Feijie and Bai Qiaoqiao's numbers, but no one answered. This made him nervous and he decided to leave for Kun City immediately.

No matter what, he must ensure Bai Qiaoqiao's safety.

Seeing Zhou Qi's serious expression, Qiao Xueying hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"I have to go to Kun City right away." Zhou Qi's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.

Without asking any questions, Qiao Xuying quickly packed his luggage and offered to drive him to the airport.

On the way, Zhou Qi remained silent, thinking in his mind how to compete with the local forces in an unfamiliar place.

Facing an opponent like Hu Jizhong, conventional means were clearly not enough. Either he could mobilize the Second Artillery's troops for support, but this would take time, or he could take unconventional means, which was exactly what Zhou Qi was most reluctant to do.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Qi called Jiang Jun and said, "There's a problem in Kun City. Can you handle it?"

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Jun was slightly surprised: "Who is the other party?"

"Yunding Hotel, Hu Jizhong." Zhou Qi briefly explained the situation.

Qiao Xueying was driving the car and listening attentively. It was not until this moment that she understood the whole story.

The name Bai Qiaoqiao was unfamiliar to her, but another name was well-known, the popular singer Bai Wanting.

At the same time, she was surprised to find that Reno Entertainment was also one of Zhou Qi's industries.

Seeing Zhou Qi's anxious look just now, she guessed that Bai Wanting might be his lover. She couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, wondering if Zhou Qi would be so nervous if she got into trouble.

"Do you want him to die?" Jiang Jun asked coldly.

Zhou Qi's heart sank when he heard this. This sentence revealed a huge amount of information. He knew that Jiang Jun was not a simple person, but he did not expect that the other party would make such a request.

"I'm on my way to Kun City." Zhou Qi shook his head and said, "The most important thing now is to ensure her safety."
