Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

Not long after, a nightclub in Shanghai was suddenly shut down, and the main person in charge, Wei Guoliang, was arrested. Wei Jianjun was released on bail after being interrogated.

Inside the Qin Group's office, Wei Jianjun, with a long face, sat down in front of Qin Kai and said, "Brother Kai, you are incredibly resourceful, and your Qin family has deep roots. Can you help me think of a way?"

Qin Kai said helplessly, "Jianjun, it's not that I don't want to help you, but our Qin family's connections are all in Hong Kong. This matter is manageable in Hong Kong, but here on the mainland, I really can't get involved!"

"Doesn't your Wei family have extensive connections in Shanghai? Go and find some people there. Money's no problem; we're not afraid to spend it!"

"Don't even mention it. I don't know what happened, but people who used to call me brothers are now avoiding us. Some people are even subtly hinting that I might have offended someone recently, but the thing is, I haven't offended anyone!"

Qin Kai asked with some doubt, "Could it be that Li Xiaofeng is behind this? Last time, the finance department forgot to cover it up and transferred the money to Feng Bowen without thinking."

The Feng father and son are useless; not only did they fail to get the job done, but they also got us all involved in this mess. Aside from them, we haven't offended anyone else!

Wei Jianjun frowned slightly and said in disbelief, "Although the man surnamed Li has money, he has only been in business for a short time and doesn't have any connections or resources."

If there's no one backing you, they won't go to extremes with this kind of thing. As long as it's plausible, they'll let it slide, as long as they can explain it to everyone above and below.

But this time is different. This is a move to uproot our Wei family completely. If this case is handled thoroughly, it will take at least ten years!

"Didn't you try to find out who's backing the investigation?"

“I asked around, and the answer is that this case is a continuation of the Hongxing Electric Vehicle Factory case. The higher-ups have instructed us to investigate this case thoroughly!”

Furthermore, I don't know who betrayed me, but the criminal investigation team obtained a lot of information about me, and a scoundrel even came forward as a witness.

My dad took all the blame himself. If they confirm it, not only will my dad go to jail, but I'll be implicated too. In that case, our entire Wei family will be finished!

“Since they’ve already explained to you that this case is a continuation of the Hongxing Electric Vehicle Factory case, then it means that this matter is related to Li Xiaofeng, and he must be the one pulling the strings behind the scenes!”

"But he doesn't have that much power!"

"The Shen family could have gotten involved in the Hongxing Electric Vehicle Factory case, but the investigation team stopped them. Does this mean that Secretary Li of the investigation team is in cahoots with Li Xiaofeng?"

"That's impossible. This guy surnamed Li had no prior dealings with Secretary Li. How could he suddenly get in touch with him?"

Qin Kai sighed and said in a heavy tone, "The Hongxing Electric Vehicle Factory incident ended too suddenly. I felt something was amiss. I had someone investigate, and it turns out that Hou Guowei is probably one of Secretary Li's men."

Although Li Xiaofeng had never dealt with Secretary Li before, he had dealt with Hou Guowei. He heard that they didn't interact much, but Hou Guowei spoke highly of Li Xiaofeng privately.

Wei Jianjun gritted his teeth and said, "That guy surnamed Li is too ruthless. Last time, he used the media to almost destroy our family and forced me to sell my shares."

All I wanted this time was some money, but he wanted my life! This is outrageous! He really thinks I, Wei, am easy prey!

Then, he turned to Qin Kai and said, "Brother Kai, how about we pull off a big heist this time? That guy surnamed Li is all alone. Once he's gone, all his businesses are easy targets!"

Qin Kai looked at him strangely, then sneered, "Jianjun, what do you take our Qin family for? What era are we living in? Why are you still doing this?"

This is far too risky. If you want to do it, go do it yourself. Don't drag me into it. We Qin family members come to the mainland to do business, not to cause trouble for ourselves!

"Brother Kai, I only got into trouble with Li Xiaofeng again because of you!"

"Come on, you're the one who encouraged me, saying that as long as that guy surnamed Feng is willing to expose himself, we can take back Hongxing Electric Vehicle Factory, and then we can take advantage of the situation and get a share of the profits!"

In the end, he gained nothing, wasted his money, and even helped the man surnamed Li establish a connection with Secretary Li, making it even more difficult to deal with him in the future!

"You're really interested in that Fang Huiya, aren't you? I'm just trying to help you get what you want!"

"No matter how beautiful Fang Huiya is, she's still just a woman. I've caused so much trouble for a woman. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have wasted this money!"

Wei Jianjun said somewhat dejectedly, "Brother Kai, you can't just abandon me!"

Qin Kai said somewhat impatiently, "Jianjun, the things your family is doing are too big and too arrogant. Not to mention on the mainland, even in our Hong Kong area, it's a real problem. Things are different now than before."

You say you're giving up a perfectly legitimate business to go and get involved in those crooked and shady things? Look at all the truly wealthy people, they didn't get rich through those kinds of businesses.

This is something you have to handle yourself. If you can't handle it, then let your dad bear it alone. It's better than both of you going to jail!

Wei Jianjun, his face full of obsequiousness, reminded him, "Brother Kai, haven't you already gotten in touch with Secretary Song? As long as Secretary Song is willing to step in, this matter can definitely be resolved!"

Qin Kai looked at him with disdain and sneered, "You really dare to dream. Who is Secretary Song? Would he care about your mess? Not only would you cause him trouble, but what benefits could you possibly offer him?"

"Brother Kai, as long as you can help me resolve this matter, I'll agree on whatever price you want!"

"Tch, do you think everyone is like you, needing money for everything? Do you really think money can solve all problems? Someone like Secretary Song, do you think he needs to spend his own money to get what he wants?"

What they want are political achievements, stepping stones to climb the ladder of their careers. Can you give them that? What political achievements can your nightclubs bring them? It's embarrassing enough if word gets out!

Besides, why would someone take such a big risk to take your worthless money?

The connections I painstakingly built at great expense are for business, not to clean up your messes!

"Brother Kai, I'm wholeheartedly committed to following you, you can't just stand by and watch me die!"

Qin Kai sneered again, saying in a nonchalant tone, "You have the nerve to say you're wholeheartedly following me? Don't think I don't know about the little things you, Lü Zhendong, and Cheng Zhiyuan have been up to behind my back."

"My not pursuing this doesn't mean I can't. It's just that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. I simply don't want to bother with you. Aren't the two Shen sisters very capable? You can go find them!"
