Lu Ziqiao looked at Zhang Yu excitedly, eager to know when the funds would arrive. He wanted to prove himself. "No problem, of course no problem. But when will you and the funds arrive?"

"Wait a couple of days, she'll contact you then."

Yu Mo will arrive in a couple of days. Several days ago, Zhang Yu finally managed to get Yu Mo from his mother after signing many unequal treaties.

However, since Guan Gu and the others haven't returned yet, it's a good opportunity for Yu Mo to go and work on Lu Ziqiao's project to gain some experience.

After finalizing the investment, the group went to Love Apartment and sat on the sofa, looking at Hu Yifei, wanting to see what she had to say.

Actually, everyone knows that Hu Yifei just wants them to take sides, and specifically, she wants them to stand on her side, like forcing a friend to take sides when arguing with a child.

Hu Yifei picked up a plant from the balcony that had died because it didn't have a flowerpot, and then scrutinized the group of people.

"The main reason for calling this meeting is to announce something—Abo is dead."

Hu Yifei walked to the middle of the living room and spoke with a cold expression, but his words made Lu Ziqiao and Meijia turn pale instantly.

"What? Zhanbo is dead?"

Looking at the two of them with such perfect understanding, Zhang Yu was speechless. They were so in sync, no wonder they were a match made in heaven.

Ziqiao was clearly faking it, trying to deliberately distract her, while Meijia genuinely thought Zhanbo was dead and cried out in disbelief, her eyes even welling up with tears, on the verge of bursting into tears.

If Zhanbo were in trouble, would Hu Yifei still be calmly announcing it? They were just drinking and having fun at the bar; he'd probably be out there wreaking havoc right now. Would Zeng Xiaoxian still be able to run rampant in front of him? Hu Yifei would have already taken him down in one fell swoop.

Hu Yifei rolled her eyes at Lu Ziqiao, then looked helplessly at Meijia and said with a disappointed expression, "It's Abo, not Zhanbo."

At the same time, she angrily threw the plant—no, Abo's corpse—on Ziqiao. She knew Ziqiao did it on purpose, but she still wanted to use this opportunity to force Ziqiao and the others to choose sides.

"Abo?" Ziqiao and the others exclaimed in surprise as they looked at the plant in Ziqiao's hand. A plant with a name? And it's called Abo?

Dali nudged Zhang Yu with his elbow, and when Zhang Yu looked over, he whispered to him, "Is Teacher Hu mentally unstable? Should we have her checked out? I've read some psychology books."

"No need, Sister Yifei is fine, and it's none of our business. We can just watch the show," Zhang Yu replied softly.

He wasn't surprised that Dali had read psychology books, but he wouldn't dare let Dali show them to Hu Yifei. Not to mention that this was just a farce, even if it were really necessary to show them, it wouldn't be Dali's turn. Even the psychologist who could steal dreams wouldn't dare show Hu Yifei a second time.

"Do you know how this tragedy happened? Someone forcibly demolished its home. That bastard's surname is Zeng. We have old and new grudges, and we can't forgive each other. Do you know which side you should stand on?"

Hu Yifei spoke passionately and impassionedly, as if she were standing up for Abo, while looking at everyone.

"Sister Yifei, you know that Dali and I are permanently neutral, but in spirit we're on your side." Zhang Yu immediately stood up and announced his neutral stance, but his last sentence proved that he had actually taken sides.

Neutral countries, their allegiance is obvious, it's just that the time hasn't come yet to show it. Dali nodded in agreement with Zhang Yu's words.

Ziqiao and Zhang Wei exchanged a glance and cursed inwardly. How could they say such shameless things? It's just that they are too weak to compare with their status with Hu Yifei.

"Hmm, very good. You can continue to remain neutral. What about you?" Hu Yifei was satisfied with Zhang Yu's statement, nodded, and then looked at the others.

"Sister Yifei, I've always been one of your people and I firmly support you." Meijia also realized what was going on and pointed her sword at the sky to show that she was speaking from the heart.

"I trust you, Meijia." Hu Yifei looked at Lu Ziqiao and Zhang Wei again.

After exchanging glances, the two swallowed hard and decided they couldn't just abandon their brother so easily. They decided to try and see if they could get away with it.

"Yifei, we are very sorry about Abo's death. Actually, I also bear some responsibility for what happened last time."

Lu Ziqiao spoke nervously and tremblingly, while stroking Abo to show that he was indeed very regretful, and at the same time wanted to take some responsibility for Zeng Xiaoxian so that Hu Yifei would hate Zeng Xiaoxian less.

Zhang Wei, who was standing to the side, nodded repeatedly and clasped his hands together in prayer to Abo.

"Did you make the PPT?" Hu Yifei looked at Lu Ziqiao with murderous intent because he dared to bring up the previous incident in front of her, and even wanted to help Zeng Xiaoxian instead of taking sides.

"That's absolutely not it." After being looked at like that by Hu Yifei, Lu Ziqiao felt a chill run down his spine, and cold sweat instantly poured down his back. He quickly denied it.

She was afraid that if she spoke too late, Meijia would become a widow, and besides, she had just secured investment and was ready to make a big splash.

"That settles it then. As long as you recognize your positions on matters of principle, I won't hold it against you." Hu Yifei looked at Lu Ziqiao, who denied it, and magnanimously indicated that she could forgive him for his previous mistakes.

Hearing Hu Yifei say that, Lu Ziqiao breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time realized that he was being forced to take sides.

If he didn't stand on Hu Yifei's side, it would mean he hadn't recognized right from wrong on matters of principle, and he would be punished along with her. It was better to sacrifice his friend than himself, so he had no choice but to back down.

"What do you want us to do?" Seeing that Lu Ziqiao had backed down, the most courageous man gritted his teeth and asked Hu Yifei. Sure enough, he was the most courageous one in the apartment.

“Originally, I wanted to hold a memorial service for Abo, and you uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters should at least give some compensation.”

Seeing that Zhang Wei still dared to stand up, Hu Yifei once again used her trump card against Zhang Wei: demanding money from him.

"That's not how you use 'compensation' or 'condolence money,' Teacher Hu, you must be referring to 'silk money,' right?"

"Sister Yifei is right. Abo was given a pension because he died a heroic death in the war between Sister Yifei and Teacher Zeng." Dali thought Hu Yifei had used the wrong word, so Zhang Yu explained Hu Yifei's meaning to him.

Listening to Dali and Zhang Yu's conversation, Meijia suddenly realized that Hu Yifei's words had so many hidden meanings.

Indeed, when it comes to the art of language, one must look to scholars. I was so foolish that I didn't even notice the problem. In the future, I must make sure my children get close to Zhang Yu.

But should she get closer to Zhang Yu or Dali? It would be great if the two of them were together...? Meijia suddenly thought of something, her eyes narrowing as a radiant smile appeared on her face.

Hu Yifei looked at Zhang Yu and the other two, but ignored them, because all three of them supported her. So Zhang Wei and Lü Zi were more important. When he heard that money was needed, Zhang Wei immediately clutched his pocket.

"If you really want to be his accomplices, that's fine, but 3601 will have to distance itself from you from now on."

Hu Yifei smiled as she looked at the two of them, while standing behind them and threatening them. Hu Yifei patted them on the shoulder, and the two of them stiffened up and dared not move.

"So that means we can't come in either?" Lu Ziqiao's first thought was that if he couldn't come in, then he couldn't rummage through the refrigerator either.

"But I already live here," Zhang Wei said, on the verge of tears. He knew Hu Yifei wasn't just making a simple threat, but he couldn't abandon his brother.

"Oh, want to try?" Hu Yifei said calmly, but Zhang Wei didn't dare to try. He quickly told Lü Ziqiao that he was on her side and would definitely not side with Teacher Zeng in the future, which finally made Hu Yifei let the two of them go.
