The real heiress's disguise has been exposed, making her the most beloved member of Beijing

"Where is my sister?" Qi Shaoxiong asked the housekeeper.

The butler replied truthfully, "I don't know. Not long after you returned, young master, she left with her bag."

Qi Shaoxiong sensed something was wrong, so he said, "Give me my phone."

The butler handed over the phone, which Qi Shaoxiong took and dialed Qi Feixue's number.

It took a while for the call to connect.

Qi Shaoxiong questioned, "Sis, such a big thing happened, why aren't you home?"

Qi Feixue's voice was very urgent as she said, "Shaoxiong, I'm sorry, I can't go to Africa with you. I have to stay in China! So I need to hide for a while!"

"Hide? How are you going to hide from Qi Huan's search?" Qi Shaoxiong said speechlessly.

Qi Feixue said, "Don't worry, I have someone to help me."

Qi Shaoxiong frowned, forcing a smile, and said, "Someone is helping you? Could it be one of those men who coveted you but couldn't afford to? You're not going to lower yourself to be with a man like that!"

Qi Feixue screamed as if she had been slapped. Then, a rustling sound came from the other end of the phone, and a fierce male voice rang out: "Qi Shaoxiong, it was one thing when you were riding high, but now that you're being exiled to Africa and never allowed to return, who are you still looking down on! Let me tell you, your sister can only fawn over me now!"

After saying that, the other end of the phone hung up.

Qi Shaoxiong's face was extremely ugly. Qi Feixue, that idiot!

Even if Africa is bad, it's still much better than being suppressed and unable to hold your head up at home. At least it's their territory!

But now, Qi Feixue is actually trying to curry favor with a man she used to look down on!

Forget it, whatever happens to her in the future is her own fault!

……

A week later.

The Qi family's family meeting began.

The eldest daughter, Qi Xinfeng, who was married to a high-ranking official in Beijing, came alone as before, without her husband and son.

The second daughter, Qi Xiuhua, came with her husband and daughter, Qi An'an.

The third son, Qi Tianhuai, had been busy investigating and dealing with the matter of his goods being seized in Africa. After learning that his son had failed in his attempt to join forces with the fourth son to compete for the position of heir, he simply decided not to return to China.

The fourth son, Qi Tianhuai, attended the meeting with his son, Qi Feifan.

The fifth son, Qi Tianxiang, did not appear; Qi Huan brought her younger brother, Qi Zerui, along.

Grandpa Qi hired a professional legal team and summoned the most authoritative media in the area. In front of all family members, he formally announced:

“Today, representatives from each family have come, and I have reviewed the operations of their respective companies. Considering all aspects of their capabilities, I hereby announce that my eldest grandson, Qi Huan, will become the heir of the Qi family. I have decided to legally transfer all of the Qi family’s assets to Qi Huan through a contract.”

No one objected.

Qi An'an sincerely congratulated him, saying, "Congratulations, Huan-ge! I'll be counting on you to protect me from now on!"

Qi Huan smiled and said, "No problem."

Qi Xiuhua didn't say anything.

The initial capital she and her husband used to start their business came from her father. Now that her business is thriving, she has little else to ask for; she just wants her daughter to have a safe and smooth future.

After the meeting, Qi Xinfeng, who was usually taciturn, was the last to leave.

Qi Huan keenly sensed that his aunt seemed to have something to say to him, so he took the initiative to ask, "Aunt, is there something you wanted to talk to me about?"

Qi Xinfeng didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "I heard you want to bring down Zhu Jianzhong, is that true?"

Qi Huan countered, "Does Uncle want to help?"

Qi Xinfeng knew that Huan was indeed a smart person, so she didn't waste any words and continued, "Recently, an important document was issued from above, requiring a comprehensive rectification of the work style. If your uncle can seize this opportunity and achieve some results, his position will definitely be promoted one more step."

Qi Huan had long known that her uncle would use this opportunity to advance his career.

He smiled and readily said, "I understand, Aunt. We will do our best to gather evidence against Zhu Jianzhong. As for how to bring him down, that's entirely up to Uncle."

Qi Xinfeng knew that Qi Huan was a smart and capable person, so she didn't need to waste any more words. She simply said "Congratulations on becoming the heir" and left.

During dinner, Grandpa Qi reminded Huan'er, "The matter of the heir has been decided. Next, we should consider your engagement with Xiao Li'er."

Qi Huan smiled and said, "Well, I originally planned to start preparing for my wedding with Xiao Li'er after my legs were fully healed and after I became the heir. But now I plan to deal with Zhu Jianzhong first."

He wouldn't allow any potential problems with his wedding to Xiao Li'er.

Upon hearing the name Zhu Jianzhong, Qi Zerui frowned, seemingly lost in unpleasant memories, and asked, "Brother, who is Zhu Jianzhong?"

Qi Huan explained, "It's a powerful backer among the Long family."

Qi Zerui said "Oh," and then asked, "Is that the big shot that Tong Zhouzhou and Chen Wang exposed?"

Qi Huan nodded, "Mm."

Qi Zerui said, "I feel like I've heard the name Zhu Jianzhong somewhere before?"

Qi Huan and Old Master Qi looked at him and asked, "Are you sure you've seen him?"

Zhu Jianzhong rarely appears in public, and there aren't many photos of him online either.

Qi Zerui thought for a moment, "I remembered wrong. That uncle's name seems to be Zhu Jianren. When I was a child, I used to set up a stall outside with my mute uncle. Once, a guy named Zhu Jianren came with his gang to collect protection money."

Qi Huan's eyes darkened.

He had already investigated and found that Zhu Jianzhong was an only child and had no brothers.

Qi Huan didn't say anything, "Okay, Xiao Rui, just focus on your acting, don't worry about this."

Qi Zerui hummed in agreement and didn't say anything more.

During their video call that evening, Qi Huan still told Jiang Youli about his brother's little incident.

Jiang Youli was also very interested after hearing this. "Zhu Jianzhong, Zhu Jianren? The names do sound quite similar. I'll have Ye Ying investigate. Just in case there's any connection."

Qi Huan agreed: "Yes, what's the situation in the village now? What are those death row inmates doing?"

Jiang Youli said, "These death row inmates didn't do anything. Jiang Xing told me that they really looked like they were just passing through."

After pondering for a moment, Qi Huan said, "Then these death row inmates might just be a smokescreen to divert attention."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Youli realized what he meant and said, "I'll have Ye Ying remind the people below not to focus solely on those death row inmates!"

Sure enough, once they found a way to understand, Jiang Youli quickly uncovered Zhu Jianzhong's true intentions.

That is--

"Zhu Jianzhong actually wanted to bomb the entire Jianshan Village, and those death row inmates were the fuse that Zhu Jianzhong used to justify his actions!"

With only three days left until the new year, Jiang Youli told Qi Huan about the investigation results from Night Shadow during a video call.
