"In other words, even if all of this was really done by that Sixth Master, would he need to do it on his own turf? Why not use cash transactions and instead use bank transfers? Is he afraid that others won't be able to find out?"

Song Qing had already realized what was going on. "If Sixth Master really wanted to harm Miss Wen, he could have easily found someone outside to do it in private. There was no need to deliberately leave so many loopholes."

"Yes, the strange thing about this is that there are too many flaws. It's as if they're afraid others won't know that the Xia family did this!"

Wen Shengsheng's words were like a wake-up call, and everyone's eyes immediately lit up.

she said again.

"Just now in the front hall, who argued the most fiercely with Gong Xiaochen? If Gong Xiaochen really goes to see that Sixth Master tonight, who will suffer the biggest loss? Have you thought about these things?"

Sixth Master Xia Shunan holds a position in the Xia family second only to Old Madam Xia, and is extremely capable and powerful.

Old Madam Xia narrowed her eyes and drew a conclusion.

“Some people want to provoke conflict, or even a fight, between the Gong family and the Xia family.”

“Yes! If you both suffer heavy losses, others will reap the benefits.” Wen Shengsheng glanced at Gong Zekai. “That’s why I’ve gone through all this trouble. If I don’t explain things clearly, I’m afraid some people will only be thinking about their own little plot of land and won’t even realize that someone has stolen their home.”

"You're being rude!" Gong Zekai's eyes twitched, and his face darkened.

"I didn't name names, why are you in such a hurry to admit it, Uncle Gong?"

Wen Shengsheng pouted, completely unconcerned about his displeasure.

That's rude, so what?

You make me unhappy every day, and you expect me to respect the elderly and care for the young?

Seeing Wen Shengsheng's arrogant attitude, the Gong family members behind Gong Zekai already had some hostility in their eyes.

However, Cheng Zhiyun, the young lady from the arranged marriage, had a slight smile on her calm face.

Clang!

On the sofa behind Wen Shengsheng, Gong Xiaochen tapped the coffee table next to him.

"go on."

It was only three words, but the attitude was very clear.

He wanted to support Wen Shengsheng.

Wen Shengsheng actually said she was tired and wanted to finish quickly.

"As for who is behind the scenes, it's actually quite easy to guess."

"First, he understands the Xia family and can command the Xia family members. After all, he can use Yu Xiang's account to transfer money to others. This is something that cannot be done without the Xia family members operating in the process."

"Secondly, he also understands the Gong family and knows about the internal conflicts within the Gong family."

"Third, he understands Gong Xiaochen better and can predict what he will do, which is why he used me to provoke Gong Xiaochen and make Gong Xiaochen a knife to tear apart the harmony between the Gong family and the Xia family that has lasted for many years."

“Very few people can meet all of these conditions. I think you all should be able to think of a few suitable targets.”

The room was quiet.

The Xia and Gong families fell silent.

Gong Xiaochen's gaze was icy cold; he already knew the answer in his heart.

Seeing that Miyazawa Kai was frowning and looked very bad.

Wen Shengsheng thoughtfully added a thought-provoking comment to his mind.

"Uncle Gong, hunters often appear in the form of prey. You've been playing with eagles your whole life. Don't get so old that you're being used without even realizing it."

"If you ruin Gong Xiaochen and drag the Gong family down with you, who will still be out there working hard to earn money for you? If you're idle all day, you'll just take advantage of your seniority to cause trouble for the younger generation."

"You!" Gong Zekai's expression was priceless!

His chin trembled uncontrollably, as if a thousand words were about to burst forth, but Wen Shengsheng's words were like ice daggers, piercing the fire in his heart, causing half of the fire to be extinguished and the other half to burn.

He was caught in the middle, neither able to get out nor to get in, and suffered a lot of humiliation!

"Hahaha~" Old Madam Xia was straightforward and laughed out loud, showing no respect for Gong Zekai.

Apart from Gong Xiaochen, the other members of the Gong family did not look well.

Wen Shengsheng could feel an exceptionally sharp gaze fixed on her.

But she didn't care.

She's just an ordinary girl, but because she's with Gong Xiaochen, she's constantly being targeted by these people, and she's getting really annoyed with it.

She's going to drive this old man crazy!

"Alright, I've said everything. I'm leaving these three to Gong Xiaochen. The heads of your Xia and Gong families are here. You can discuss the rest yourselves. We outsiders are going outside."

Wen Shengsheng glanced at Gong Xiaochen, then winked at Deng Wei and Xi Yu, signaling them to follow her.

It was still quite cold after nightfall. The three of them went to the small side room next to the living room. Although there was a carpet on the floor, Wen Shengsheng couldn't help but tuck her toes in when she was barefoot.

Xi Yu magically produced a pair of slippers, squatted down, and helped her put them on.

"Where did these shoes come from?"

Wen Shengsheng dared not let Xi Yu help her put on the shoes, so she quickly bent down to get them herself.

“I asked the maid for it while you were talking inside,” Xi Yu said.

Wen Shengsheng sighed.

“Brother Yu, now it’s just the three of us. I won’t hide anything from you anymore. When you see those three people, you should understand why I called you here.”

Xi Yu's face was shrouded in a deep gloom.

He understood the moment he entered the reception room and saw those three people.

They used to live in the Xi family.

The Xi family's bodyguard team is carefully selected, and their records and management are extremely strict.

The folder containing personnel records that Wen Shengsheng looked at at Yunding Lake last time contained those three people.

"If Gong Xiaochen really causes trouble with the Xia family because of me, the Xi family can also benefit from it."

Wen Shengsheng said in a deep voice.

"This afternoon, when I went to find Song Yufeng, I was ambushed by two people at Shengpu Building. If Deng Wei hadn't been following me, Brother Yu, Wen Shengsheng wouldn't be standing in front of you to speak right now."

Wen Shengsheng's eyes were clear and bright, her starry eyes like a lamp, the light of which stung Xi Yu's heart.

"My guess is that these people were most likely sent by your second uncle, since he and Gong Xiaochen are currently engaged in a power struggle."

"Go back and figure out how to handle those three people's resumes. Don't let this fire spread to the Xi family." Wen Shengsheng pouted. "Although I hate everyone in your Xi family, they are them, and you are you. I won't make things difficult for you, and you shouldn't make things difficult for me either."

The aloofness in Wen Shengsheng's tone made Xi Yu feel ashamed for the first time in front of the child he had raised. The guilt in his heart was like steam rising, burning painfully.

"I'm sorry, Sheng Sheng," he said with difficulty.

“If you really feel sorry for me, then tell me everything about you, Song Yufeng, and Ren Jun.”

Wen Shengsheng is good at taking advantage of opportunities.

Xi Yu: "......"

After a long silence, he finally spoke.

"I'll get you a few more bodyguards."

Knowing he would do this, Wen Shengsheng rolled her eyes. "No need. Deng Wei can hold off a thousand troops by himself. I'm very satisfied with him."

Deng Wei, who had been standing to the side as a background figure, was surprised to be suddenly called out and couldn't help but look at the two of them.

Xi Yu loosened his tie in frustration.

He said in a deep voice, "Here's what we'll do, Sheng Sheng. I'll give you a pledge today: from now on, the Xi family will not send anyone to harm you."

Wen Shengsheng rolled her eyes and shook her head, "Your pledge isn't enough."

"What do you say."

"I need you to grant me one request."

"any request?"

Wen Shengsheng pouted, "If you don't agree, I won't say anything."

Xi Yu laughed, the first time he had laughed all night. "Why are you still like you were when you were a kid? You always act cute and mischievous whenever you come up with a crazy idea."

Wen Shengsheng stomped her foot. "Just tell me if it's okay or not!"

"Okay." Xi Yu's tone was both helpless and indulgent.

Wen Shengsheng came to his side and began to speak to him in a low voice.

Her voice was soft and weak, which made Xi Yu's heart itch.

But what he said made him turn pale.
