During the meeting, Qin Yanchuan led a group of people to the Office of Military and Political Affairs and protected Huo Cheng, the chief assistant of the office.

Compared to the Huo family that had muddy beginnings, the Dong family was like a pool of dirty water. The family members all had ulterior motives, and none of their hands were clean. As soon as the meeting ended, the Dong family immediately had internal conflicts.

In fact, Dong Xianghang knew that he had been schemed against as soon as Qin Yanchuan was elected as the head of the family. Seeing the chaos in the Dong family, he knew that he would be finished if the dirty things in his family were exposed. Hence, he quickly gathered his trusted aides and took action, hoping to pull the rig out from under his opponents. He held a copy of the Huo family's account books; the original was with Song Zhiyi. Alas, he did not expect the Huo family and the Qin family to act before he could submit the evidence in his hand. He had urgently contacted Song Zhiyi then, urging her to send the evidence in her hand to the Prime Minister. However, he could not get in touch with her.

Dong Xianghang could not help but curse.

‘That damn woman was afraid I'd destroy the Huo family so the copy she gave me only contained less serious evidence. She thinks she can marry Huo Zheng with this…'

Dong Xianghang was filled with regrets at this moment.

‘I should've known that the b*tch was unreliable. After all, she wants Huo Zheng…'

Dong Xianghang had escaped in the chaos after being dealt a heavy blow. At this time, he was sitting in a black car, crossing the border of Sheng City when he suddenly saw Song Zhiyi, who seemed to be waiting for something by the roadside.

Dong Xianghang quickly got out of the car and slapped Song Zhiyi.

“You stinky b*tch! Where's the original copy of the evidence? I contacted you, but you intentionally cut off contact with me, right?” Dong Xianghang cursed as he kicked Song Zhiyi a few times.

Song Zhiyi was stunned. She hugged Dong Xianghang's leg tightly as she wailed. “No, no, Brother Dong. I was tricked by Huo Zheng, and the original copy was stolen by him!”

“Tricked? I've lost everything now! I was hoping that you could negotiate with the Huo family using the evidence in your hands. Now you're telling me it's stolen?!” Dong Xianghang cursed as he kicked Song Zhiyi away, “Get lost!”

Then, Dong Xianghang brought a gun out and pointed it at Song Zhiyi's head before he asked, “You colluded with He Zhong to trick me, right? I'm going to f*cking kill you!”

Song Zhiyi's hair was disheveled, and her clothes were torn. All traces of her elegance had vanished at this moment. She was scared out of her wits when she saw the gun. She was like a cornered dog at this moment. Out of desperation, she said, “Brother Dong, Brother Dong, I still have a way!”

Dong Xianghang continued to point the gun at her as he said, “Tell me.”

“H-Huo Zheng has a girlfriend. They had broken up, and she's not by his side now…”

Previously, Huo Zheng had coaxed Song Zhiyi into bringing him to her house. While she was distracted, he knocked her unconscious. When she was regaining consciousness, she had heard him on the phone. He seemed to be looking for Lin Xiaowan.

“They've already broken up. What's the point of saying this?!”

“No! Brother Dong, trust me. The breakup is just a coverup. As long as Lin Xiaowan is in our hands, we can use her as a bargaining chip.”

Dong Xianghang looked at Song Zhiyi skeptically. “The two of you have been together during this period of time. Everyone knows about it. Since the media even dared to report it, it can't be false… Why should I believe you? How do I know you're not sent by Huo Zheng?”

Song Zhiyi gritted her teeth upon hearing these words. “He lied to me. That scumbag played with me!”

Huo Zheng only wanted to snatch back the evidence in Song Zhiyi's hands that was detrimental to the Huo family. In order to gain Dong Xianghang's trust, she told Dong Xianghang everything Huo Zheng had done.

Dong Xianghang raised an eyebrow; his interest was piqued. He asked, “What do you plan to do?”

Song Zhiyi heard that Lin Xiaowan was returning to Sheng City, but she did not know the time.

However, this was a small matter. Although Dong Xianghang had fallen into such a state, he was still much better than ordinary people. Moreover, not many people knew about the conflict between the Dong family and the Huo and Qin families. Dong Xianghang might not be able to show his face in front of prominent families in Shangxia, but he still had many underlings.

Finally, Dong Xianghang put his gun away and ordered someone to bring Song Zhiyi into the car. They were going to an abandoned farmhouse at the border of Sheng City where Dong Xianghang conducted business that could not see the light of day.

“Do you have any pictures?” Dong Xianghang asked.

“Yes.”

Song Zhiyi quickly sent a photo to Dong Xianghang.

Dong Xianghang zoomed in on the picture and said with a sneer, “What a pretty girl. Look at you and her. Huo Zheng's luck with women is really good.”

Dong Xianghang sent the photo to his assistant and said, “Print this picture and give it to the others. Arrange for them to keep an eye on the airport, train station, and bus station. Whoever manages to catch her will be rewarded with…”

Dong Xianghang paused and gestured with his hand before he said, “Ten million.”

“Tell your men to be careful. Huo Zheng is also looking for her,” Song Zhiyi said.

Dong Xianghang sneered. At this time, Huo Zheng would not dare to search for someone so openly. After all, Huo Zheng was definitely worried about him finding his weakness. As such, this would give him an advantage over Huo Zheng.

After Dong Xianghang ran away, Huo Zheng and Huo Cheng returned to the family house to discuss the follow-up matters.

Qiao You'an and the Qiao family were also involved in this matter, but she knew very little about the matter. As such, she did not have much to do and was waiting for them at the house. When she saw the two brothers, she quickly ran toward them and asked, “What's going on with the news? Which media outlet is so stupid to post about you and Song Zhiyi?”

“I arranged for it to happen,” Huo Zheng said, looking exhausted. He had lost a lot of weight in the past few days.

“Are you crazy?!” Qiao You'an asked in shock.

“Don't worry, honey. It's fake. Song Zhiyi was too vigilant and guarded the evidence tightly. As such, Second Brother came up with this method,” Huo Cheng said, pulling his soft and fragrant wife into his embrace. Similar to Huo Zheng, he was exhausted.

Huo Zheng brought his phone out and took a look before he said, “It's been removed.”

“Do you know how big a splash this news caused? People love this kind of news the most! You know it's fake, but do others know? Does Xiaowan know? I know the Huo family is important, but is there no other way?” Qiao You'an asked. She thought that the two brothers' actions were ridiculous.

The two men did not speak.

Huo Cheng continued hugging his wife silently. After all, Lin Xiaowan was not his wife, and it was not his place to comment on the matter. Everything depended on Huo Zheng.

However, Huo Zheng did not say anything. He had been quite fierce the last time he had spoken to her. After that, he had not spoken to her again.

The two men didn't speak. Huo Cheng was fine with just hugging his wife. Lin Xiaowan wasn't his wife, so he couldn't control her. It all depended on Huo Zheng's opinion.

However, Huo Zheng did not say anything.

Ever since Huo Zheng called Lin Xiaowan, he couldn't help but sound a little fierce. After the call was hung up, he hadn't contacted anyone for two days.

Dong Xianghang was a dangerous man, and he had not been caught. He did not dare to look for Lin Xiaowan openly and could only wait for her to come to him so he could explain himself.

Qiao You'an felt helpless. She knew that Lin Xiaowan had returned to Beicheng and assumed that Lin Xiaowan had run away in anger because of Huo Zheng. She said, “Even if it's for her good, you can't behave like this. This isn't your first time in a relationship. Why didn't you just take a step back and coax her?”
