Su Changfeng leaves after provoking Shangguan Feihong, who then contacts Shangguan Sichen for help against Ye Weijun. Su Changfeng also subtly warns his father, Ye Tian, about his health. Meanwhile, at the Zhou Family, Ye Weijun is being beaten by Zhou Yunqi, who is angry at him. Su Changfeng arrives and is treated with great respect by the Zhou Family, baffling Ye Weijun. Su Changfeng then orders Ye Weijun to be beaten further.

Not a single person would dare to lay a hand on him, but who could have predicted he’d end up beaten like this? For a moment, Ye Weijun couldn’t quite accept it.

Zhou Wang looked at Su Changfeng and said, "Chang Feng, I don’t know what you’re planning. Is it okay to let that old fox Shangguan Feihong get away like this?"

When Zhou Wang spoke, he seemed extremely cautious, even worried that he might disrupt Su Changfeng’s plans.

Su Changfeng chuckled, shaking his head as he said, "No need to worry. Quite the opposite, things have developed even better than I’d expected."

Initially, Su Changfeng just wanted to teach Shangguan Feihong a slight lesson, but he hadn’t expected the Zhou Family to get involved.

And now, with the Zhou Family stepping in, it’s evidently more intimidating.

Seeing Su Changfeng say this, Zhou Wang felt relieved, nodded, and said with a smile, "That’s settled then!"

"Rest assured, I’m aware of everything you’ve done for us this time. From now on, any time you need my help, don’t hesitate to ask. I, Su Changfeng, am a person who repays kindness!"

Su Changfeng said, acknowledging that in the Capital City, the Zhou Family was considered a prominent family, and his company would need their assistance for future development.

What Su Changfeng said now was an attempt to further strengthen his ties with Zhou Wang and others, ensuring that the Zhou Family would certainly assist his company in the future!

Zhou Wang wasn’t a fool, so he laughed and said, "Haha, since you’ve said this, any time you need my help in the future, I’ll be there!"

Both had their own calculations in mind, clearly both seeking benefits for themselves in the future.

Su Changfeng looked at Ye Weijun on the ground and said, "This guy is really an eyesore here. If there’s nothing else, just throw him out."

Zhou Yunqi, hearing this, promptly had someone throw Ye Weijun out, as if tossing out a heap of trash.

But before Ye Weijun left, Zhou Yunqi gave him a good cursing.

Su Changfeng, upon hearing this, caught bits and pieces of it, and laughed as he looked at Zhou Yunqi and said, "What exactly were you saying just now?"

So Zhou Yunqi relayed the events in detail to Su Changfeng, feeling quite angry as he recounted the story.

Su Changfeng nodded and said, "It’s fine. When we have time in the future, we’ll settle this score."

Hearing this, Zhou Yunqi felt a sense of joy, as Su Changfeng’s words were essentially a promise to help him, so he’d have his chance to settle accounts with that guy in the future!

Zhou Yunqi smiled and said, "Since you’ve said so, I’ll keep it in mind. I’m taking it seriously!"

Su Changfeng replied helplessly, "Of course it’s true. It’s normal for you to take it seriously. Why would I lie to you?"

Zhou Yunqi chuckled, a hint of slyness in his eyes, and said, "In that case, I really do know of a time!"

Su Changfeng curiously asked, "What is it?"

Zhou Yunqi glanced at Zhou Wang, and only after receiving his nod did he continue, "I don’t know if you’ve heard of the Martial Arts Competition!"

Su Changfeng nodded and said, "I’ve heard of it. What’s the matter?"

Earlier, Su Changfeng had participated in similar competitions, which were often attended by martial artists, as well as some well-known figures in the business world.

After all, these competitions were a great opportunity for personal gain, so business people wouldn’t miss out on such a chance.

Moreover, for these prominent families, it was the perfect occasion to showcase their strength to everyone!

Zhou Yunqi nodded and said, "Yes, as the name ’Martial Arts Competition’ suggests, you can guess the purpose. Even the business and martial arts circles are jointly organizing it."

"The martial artists mainly participate to prove their prowess, while we business people are keen to seize the chance to make money."

Zhou Yunqi paused his explanation, then raised his eyebrows as he said, "You wouldn’t believe it, but each competition can bring in billions in profit!"

Billions?

Even though, to Su Changfeng, such sums seemed like mere numbers, the sheer scale of the money involved in the Martial Arts Competition still surprised him.

"In that case, every prominent family in the Capital City must have its own martial arts school?" Su Changfeng pondered briefly and said.

In his previous life, Su Changfeng had experienced similar events, so he knew a bit about these things.

Zhou Yunqi was a bit surprised to find that Su Changfeng was aware of this, but he nodded nonetheless.

Zhou Wang, on the side, added, "Yes, correct. Such things are known to every family, but they’re just not discussed openly."

"So officially, none of these things exist."

Su Changfeng wasn’t foolish. Upon hearing this, he understood Zhou Yunqi’s implication: these matters couldn’t be openly discussed.

Su Changfeng smiled, nodded, and said, "This counts as rivalry among major families, I get it."

Seeing Su Changfeng’s profound understanding, Zhou Wang admired him even more. Despite his young appearance, Su Changfeng had a remarkable grasp of worldly affairs.

Indeed, the major families in the Capital City utilized their martial arts schools for rivalry, but none openly admitted to it.

This was an effort to maintain some face, as their goal was balance, not mutually assured destruction.

Considering the three major families, any conflict between two would only benefit the third.

No one wanted to see such a scenario.

A hint of helplessness appeared on Zhou Yunqi’s face as he said, "It’s indeed easy talking to smart people."

Su Changfeng was indeed smart. When Zhou Wang first mentioned this to him, it took him a while to grasp the context, but Su Changfeng understood immediately upon hearing it.
