"I did it voluntarily." Li Jiaxin said angrily.

"Stop talking nonsense. How much do you want? If you say one more word, there will be no deal."

Li Jianan chuckled and stretched out a finger.

"Fifty million." Li Jiaxin directly said the number.

"Little sister, that's not what I meant. I just meant you and him..." Li Jianan tried to explain.

"Do you want love?" Li Jiaxin interrupted him forcefully.

"Okay." Li Jianan finally compromised.

Li Jiaxin and Zhou Qi were about to leave when Li Jiaxin said to her brother Li Jianan, "Don't bother us now."

She pulled Zhou Qi away quickly. Li Jianan chased after them and asked where they were going. Li Jiaxin answered angrily, as if blaming him for meddling in other people's business.

Li Jianan was at a loss for words because of his sister's reaction, but he still reminded her to be careful before the two of them walked away.

Li Jianan had never seen his sister so angry, so he had to leave in a hurry, but he did not forget to remind her about the 50 million.

In the car, Li Jiaxin seemed a little worried, and Zhou Qi comforted her by saying that her brother actually cared about her.

Li Jiaxin assured Zhou Qi that she would take responsibility for their relationship and promised to protect him from interference from his family.

Li Jiaxin realized that her behavior might disappoint her father, but she decided to follow her heart this time.

Although she was usually a calm and rational person, she was acting like a nervous little girl at this moment.

When she noticed that Zhou Qi looked unhappy, she hurriedly clarified that she did not regret what had happened before and emphasized that she was sober.

Zhou Qi interrupted her and said that although he could not give much, he could give Li Jiaxin a stable future.

These words made Li Jiaxin feel relieved and touched. She agreed to wait for Zhou Qi and always believed that he would handle everything.

At the same time, at the Feng family's lunch table, Feng Zhengde asked his son Feng Zibin if he had any news about his second uncle.

Just when Feng Zibin was about to make a phone call to ask, his younger brother Feng Ziwen ran in to report a good news: Reno’s advertisement on CCTV had been removed and its broadcast time had been greatly reduced.

Feng Zibin frowned and looked at his phone, his tone full of doubt: "If things are done, Second Uncle should call us."

"Yes."

Feng Ziwen agreed, "I've been observing for the whole day. Second Uncle must be busy if he didn't call. He might be socializing at the table right now. If Yao Yuanfeng sees that something is wrong, he will definitely try his best to curry favor with Second Uncle."

Although he felt that his brother's words made some sense, Feng Zibin still decided to confirm it himself.

He dialed his second uncle's number and waited for the call to be answered.

However, the phone rang several times, but no one answered.

Feng Ziwen comforted him, "Brother, stop fighting. It's too noisy in the restaurant, and Second Uncle may not have heard it.

What we are waiting for now is Li Jianan's call. Zhou Qi has caused Rui Nuo to suffer a great loss this time. Let's see how arrogant he can be. I guess he has regretted it and will definitely ask Li Shao to ask us for mercy next."

Feng Zibin nodded, hoping to teach Zhou Qi a lesson.

Just as the two brothers were discussing how to deal with the situation, Feng Zibin's cell phone suddenly rang.

"Look, what I said."

Feng Ziwen said proudly: "Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Brother, you must be careful. Even if Young Master Li shows up, we can't give in easily."

Feng Zibin replied impatiently and picked up the phone, thinking it was Li Jianan calling.

"Mr. Li, what did you say?" His face changed instantly and he stood up suddenly from the chair.

"A thorough investigation? Why a thorough investigation? You don't tell me the reason, so why do you want a thorough investigation?"

Feng Zibin angrily threw his chopsticks on the table: "Tell them not to move. I'll contact my second uncle right away. What did you say? My second uncle is also implicated?"

As the other party continued to speak, Feng Zibin's expression became more and more ugly.

Feng Ziwen was originally preparing to eat, but when he heard his brother's conversation, his throat seemed to be blocked by something and his heart was filled with uneasiness.

After a while, Feng Zibin hung up the phone in a daze. The phone fell to the ground and he slumped in the chair as if he had lost his soul.

He turned to look at his father Feng Zhengde and said in a trembling voice, "Dad, my second uncle and the newspaper have been investigated. Hualong Company has sued the newspaper, and dozens of lawsuits are on the way."

Feng Zhengde's face turned pale, and he asked in disbelief: "Dozens of indictments? Are you sure?"

"That's what the person who delivered the complaint said," Feng Zibin replied.

Feng Ziwen asked fearfully, "Dad, brother, what happened to my second uncle? Why are you investigating him?"

Faced with the sudden change, Feng Zhengde and Feng Zibin had no time to pay attention to other people's questions, and their hearts were full of worries.

The current situation was like a mountain pressing down on them, making them feel extremely heavy. It turned out that they were really being sued - and they were facing a joint action by dozens of companies at once.

The two men understood that this was no joke. The other side was clearly well prepared, and every step they took was designed to exert maximum pressure.

Unlike their younger brother Feng Ziwen's reckless behavior, they were well aware of the seriousness of the situation and must respond with caution.

Feng Zhengde's eyes trembled slightly due to anxiety. He hurriedly ordered: "Quickly contact Third Uncle and Second Aunt, and ensure Second Uncle's safety first."

The Feng family took immediate action, calling for help everywhere and trying to resolve the crisis through various networks.

Feng Zhengde hurried to the newspaper office and found that it was already occupied by a group of professionals who were carefully checking the documents.

He saw the two statements that foreshadowed the legal challenge, and although they were not formal litigation documents, they gave him a chill.

As time went by, Feng Tingxian, the second in command who was in charge of gathering information, found nothing, which showed that the opponent's investigation was extremely thorough.

Soon after, members of the Chun City Business Alliance also joined the storm, and more than a dozen companies submitted letters of complaint almost at the same time, making the situation even more tense.

“We didn’t name any company…”

Feng Zhengde explained, but the visitor did not care. They only emphasized that their company was affected and decided to defend their rights according to the law. They also informed them that a team of lawyers would take over later.

These people came and left quickly, leaving chaos and shock in their wake.

Feng Zhengde had never seen such a resolute attitude. At this moment, he truly realized that all this was real and no longer a game.

It really happened!

Company after company began suing, and it seemed as if an endless legal battle was unfolding.

If there is a problem with the newspaper, the family's other businesses will also be affected.

Once Feng Tingxian's affairs were uncovered, it would be like unravelling a thread on an onion, and it would be out of control.

Thinking of this, Feng Zhengde felt dizzy. If his son Feng Zibin had not supported him in time, he might have fallen to the ground.

"Dad, are you okay?"

Feng Zibin asked with concern: "Don't worry too much. Even if someone sues us, they can't do anything to us. The worst that can happen is that we can just give up the newspaper."
