Nominal: The pinnacle of power began in the sixth province of Handong.

Zhou Wen was exhausted from running around.

While busy working on the Paul Sword.

While busy with the Baochanglong Group.

Fighting on two fronts, personally taking charge.

No one can withstand it.

There was no movement from Li Jue's side, as if he was indifferent to what was happening here.

Only Xu Tian was relatively cooperative, working with him to undermine Handong's economy.

With this in mind, Zhou Wen made a decision.

Once things calm down, we will definitely kick that ingrate Li Jue out of Handong.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Jue had already betrayed him.

Just in the last few days.

Evidence regarding various economic problems of the Changlong Group.

They were successively delivered to the Handong Provincial Procuratorate.

This saved me a lot of trouble by conducting my own investigation.

At this point, the Provincial Public Security Department also intervened promptly.

Qi Tongwei, Chen Hai, and Hou Liangping.

Three alumni from Handong University.

They reunited in a different way.

Looking at the transformed Hou Liangping, Qi Tongwei expressed his sincere apologies and gratitude.

I was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

People change.

Only now does Hou Liangping truly inspire trust.

What needs to be done now.

This occurred when Changlong Group was facing comprehensive suppression and was in a state of utter chaos.

Find some clues about Zhou Wen, the new son-in-law of the Zhong family, and the Zhong family for Hou Liangping.

According to Xia Qing's speculation.

After making a deal with Zhao Lichun, Zhong Zhengguo married Zhong Xiaoai to Zhou Wen, which had a deeper meaning.

The Zhao family is a vassal of the Zhou family.

Perhaps, knowing that he was severely weakened, Zhong Zhengguo used Zhao Lichun to climb up the social ladder and get in touch with the Zhou family.

At the behest of the Zhou family, Zhou Wen was to marry Zhong Xiaoai.

However, this was in the view of Xia Qing, who was well-versed in marriage alliances between large families.

There are two points of doubt.

First, Zhong Xiaoai was divorced, which was a devaluation in the eyes of powerful families. In addition, the Zhong family was not as good as before, so why would the Zhou family be interested in Zhong Xiaoai?

Secondly, there are about seven or eight Zhou family members who could marry Zhong Xiaoai. The Zhou family decided on Zhou Wen, but Zhou Wen is a businessman. No matter how you look at it, it seems that this marriage is not taken very seriously.

In conclusion, Xia Qing makes the following conjecture.

First, the Zhou family took in the Zhong family, but there was a price to pay.

For example, having the Zhong family do things that the Zhou family is not comfortable doing.

The best way is through Zhong Xiaoai, who is half Zhou family and half Zhong family.

Secondly, Zhou Wen's status in the family was actually very low; he was more like a tool responsible for making money for the family.

From this, Xia Qing deduced a third possibility.

The Zhou family took in the Zhong family so that their daughter-in-law, Zhong Xiaoai, could use the Zhong family's connections to handle some gray-area business dealings for their neglected son, Zhou Wen!

That makes sense!

Based on this deduction, Xia Qing immediately gave instructions.

The investigation focused on recent events, particularly after Chung Siu-ai's remarriage.

Are there any public welfare, charitable, or social non-profit organizations under her name or under the Zhong family name?

And it was invested by Changlong Group.

Xia Qing's instructions left Qi Tongwei and the others completely baffled.

It took less than half an hour to investigate according to Xia Qing's line of thought.

Only then did everyone discover a shocking fact and marvel at Xia Qing's terrifying wisdom.

Just one month after Zhong Xiaoai's wedding.

The Changlong-Zhongyi Culture and Art Foundation, invested and established by Changlong Group, has emerged out of nowhere!

Currently active in Beijing and Handong, their mission is to "support young artists' creative work, promote cultural exchange between China and the West, and protect intangible cultural heritage."

The person in charge is Zhong Xiaoai.

Every year, the foundation selects and funds young artists to stay and create abroad. Their works are exhibited in top art museums in China and have received unanimous praise. Two emerging artists who have recently gained fame at home and abroad were supported by the Chung Yi Foundation.

Establishing training centers in western provinces, providing financial assistance to veteran artists, promoting and inheriting intangible cultural heritage, and enabling more people to understand traditional arts demonstrate a strong sense of social responsibility.

Regularly hosting high-end forums that integrate art, technology, and finance, inviting celebrities from home and abroad to participate, elevates the foundation's prestige to new heights.

Lin Huahua opened the foundation's official website.

The title page features the words "锺艺" in gold foil lettering, an exquisite and unforgettable piece.

A casual browse on the official website reveals detailed reports, stunning images, and touching stories for all the art projects.

Whether it's discovering outstanding young artists whose talents have been overlooked, supporting folk artists with dreams, or bringing warmth to elderly artists who are struggling to make ends meet while upholding intangible cultural heritage, the various reports are overwhelming and bring tears to our eyes.

As Lin Huahua watched, her eyes welled up with tears. She clasped her hands together and said emotionally:

"This is truly wonderful and romantic! I never imagined that such a charitable foundation existed in the world, spreading warmth and love, and discovering the artistic treasures of humanity..."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Qing, Qi Tongwei, Chen Hai, and Hou Liangping, who was sitting in the corner, appeared.

They all looked at Lin Huahua with complicated expressions.

Lu Yike sensed the awkward atmosphere, quickly coughed twice, patted Lin Huahua's back, and said seriously:

"The fact that they've even won over our outstanding prosecutors is proof enough of the foundation's powerful propaganda efforts."

Chen Hai's expression was serious, and he frowned as he said:

"But this foundation seems to have no flaws. Where do we even begin to investigate? Besides, does anyone here understand art?"

Everyone looked at Xia Qing with troubled expressions.

Xia Qing shrugged and said:

"Don't look at me, I don't understand either."

"Let me give it a try." Just then, Zhou Zheng, who had been sitting silently to the side, raised his hand.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, he sat down next to Lin Huahua, picked up the mouse, and clicked back and forth on several artworks on the official website, muttering to himself:

"Fake, fake, fake..."

About five minutes later, Zhou Zheng stretched and said:

"Looking at the foundation's top ten artworks, seven are fake, one is a staged photo with Photoshop, one is real but not that valuable, and there's one more..."

Zhou Zheng scratched his head and said:

"It's a loan, it has to be returned."

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Qi Tongwei stretched out his hand, his face full of confusion, and said:

"Wait, wait, wait. I can understand the first few, but this last one, 'borrowed money must be returned'... how do you know it's a loan?"

Zhou Zheng was silent for a moment, thought for a while, looked around and saw that everyone around him was one of his own, and said in a low voice:

"That was bought by my dad five years ago. This time... it's probably just for them to take photos for promotional purposes."

"..."

The audience was silent.

After a long while, Chen Hai finally recovered and spoke:

"You mean, your father bought this artwork and lent it to the Chung Yi Foundation for photography?"

Xia Qing quickly accepted this possibility. After all, he came from a prominent family and had a deep understanding of the saying "you can't judge a book by its cover." If Zhou Zheng was indeed some low-key nobleman, he wouldn't be surprised.

Moreover, Xia Qing is not completely ignorant about art.

Xia Qing knew about five or six of the people Zhou Zheng mentioned earlier, and their opinions were completely consistent with Zhou Zheng's.

Therefore, Xia Qing became even more interested in Zhou Zheng's identity, and jokingly remarked from the side:

"What's wrong with that? Zhou Wen's surname is Zhou, and so is Zhou Zheng's. Aren't we all part of the Zhou family?"

After Xia Qing finished speaking, Zhou Zheng was shocked.

After a long while, he murmured:

"Yes... my dad... is from the Zhou family, to be precise, he's Zhou Wen's uncle."
