"Can someone tell me what's going on here? I can't keep up with the pace. The city is too complicated; I want to go home and farm with my parents first!"

"Oh my God, is there no justice anymore?"

"..."

The people around were all slack-jawed and dumbfounded. Is it okay to extort confessions under torture? It seems the days of Bao Qingtian are long gone.

"Take them away!" the head of security snorted.

"No... no, I refuse, you... you're forcing a confession!" Gao Qiang and Li Kun roared one after another.

They weren't the ones who did it. Why were they being arrested? Why not arrest Xiao Tianyu? It's not fair!

"You claim it's a forced confession, right?" the head bodyguard asked with interest.

"Yes!"

"Good!" The head bodyguard nodded, "I'll make you confess willingly!"

Saying that, the head bodyguard tossed Ling Feng to the ground and continued, "This time I think everyone saw clearly, I didn't hit him!"

"..." The crowd around had a look of disbelief. Why does this feel like a setup?

Then, the head bodyguard asked Ling Feng, "Tell us, who broke your legs?"

Pfft~

Pfft~

Hearing this, Chen Kun and Gao Qiang spat out old blood. They just wanted to ask the lead bodyguard if Ling Feng dared to tell the truth?

Sure enough, the next moment Ling Feng pointed his right hand at Gao Qiang and Chen Kun, saying, "It was them, both holding a stool, they crippled me, boohoo~ what did I ever do to them!"

"They say I'm confessing under duress, am I?" the head bodyguard asked.

"No...no...absolutely not, it was them who beat me, I never wrong a good person!" Ling Feng said seriously, leaving everyone in a confused state.

Pfft~

Sitting there dining, Shangguan Biyue couldn't help but laugh, her beauty dazzling, then glanced at Xiao Tianyu whispering, "You scoundrel, you're shameless enough, now I know that from ancient times to now, Dou E isn't the most wronged!"

"Can't even keep your mouth shut while eating?" Xiao Tianyu rolled his eyes.

...

Celestial Universe International Hotel, luxurious private room number 25.

At this moment, there were a dozen people sitting around a round table inside, dining with dozens of exquisite dishes on the table, any plate costing at least ten thousand bucks.

The young man and woman sitting at the head were none other than Yi Tianxing and Ye Qingcheng. Now the two families had reached a cooperation agreement, fully controlling the entire building materials market of Celestial Capital. This meal was a celebration hosted by Yi Tianxing.

It could be said that Yi Tianxing was now in high spirits and imposing.

But Ye Qingcheng was a bit more low-key, sitting there quietly, as if controlling the entire Celestial Capital building materials market was nothing to her. No wonder, as long as Fengxing International stands, how could she be happy.

In her eyes, the existence of Fengxing International was a far greater threat than Biyue International.

"President Yi, impressive tactics, to control the future of Celestial Capital's construction industry in one day and firmly hold the lifeline in your hands, admirable… admirable…"

With that, the president of Lingyun International raised his glass to Yi Tianxing and downed it in one gulp.

The president of Li International chimed in, "Biyue International thought that buying Great Ao would make them invincible, but I'm afraid she never dreamed President Yi would pull this move. This time, Biyue International will be cast into the abyss, never to recover!"

"President Yi, for the sake of our cooperation, I toast you!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Tianxing smiled and said, "It's all thanks to everyone here. Without your support for Fengxing International, Fengxing International wouldn't have the ability to swallow the entire building materials market of Celestial Capital!"

After speaking, Yi Tianxing finished his drink and continued, "The most critical is President Ye, who, at this moment, chose to cooperate with Fengxing. President Ye, I toast you!"

"No need," Ye Qingcheng said coldly, "we only have a common enemy, hence the temporary cooperation. If Biyue International sells Great Ao at a low price, Qingcheng International will show no mercy!"

Their two companies were only cooperating because of a common enemy, and to Ye Qingcheng, they weren't in a true partnership, just using each other, nothing more.

"President Ye, those words sound rather distant. Regardless of what happens in the future, we are now like ants on the same rope, thriving or perishing together. Moreover, President Ye, young and beautiful, a strong woman in the business world, matches well with President Yi. If Qingcheng International and Fengxing International merge, the entire Celestial Capital would be yours!" Gao Hong, president of Gaotian Group, said with a smile, "Moreover…"

"Could you shut up now?" Ye Qingcheng interrupted directly, a wave of icy coldness spreading, lowering the room's temperature by several degrees: "I've said it before, this cooperation is only because of a common enemy, nothing more!"

Saying this, Ye Qingcheng stood up.

"President Ye, no need to get upset!" Yi Tianxing smiled slightly, as if bathed in spring breeze, but a hint of coldness hidden in his eyes, though well concealed, no one noticed.

He continued, "President Ye is absolutely right. We are only standing together because of a common enemy right now. If Biyue International sells Great Ao cheaply, Fengxing would naturally compete against Qingcheng International!"

However, Gao Hong sneered, "Does Qingcheng International not still depend on Celestial Universe? Without Celestial Universe, Qingcheng International would have declared bankruptcy today!"

"Gao Hong, you..."

"President Ye, don't get angry, President Gao just misspoke!" Yi Tianxing said with a smile, "Having Celestial Universe choose to invest in Qingcheng International is naturally Qingcheng International's capability. How can you say such things, President Gao!"

"Sorry, I misspoke, I'll punish myself with three drinks!" Gao Hong immediately changed his tone, with a forced smile, drank three cups.

Bang bang~

At this moment, there was a knocking sound.

"Come in!" Yi Tianxing said.

The door opened, and a young man entered, none other than Gao Qiang's close aide.

"Gao Qing, why are you here?" Gao Hong frowned slightly, "Where's the young master?"

"President, the young master is in trouble!" Gao Qing said in a panic.

"What happened, why are you panicking!" Gao Hong snorted.

Then, Gao Qing told everything that happened in the Celestial Universe Hotel's lobby, and immediately everyone except Yi Tianxing and Ye Qingcheng was shocked.

"What did you say, my son's legs were broken?" the president of Lingyun International roared, "How is my son now!"

"And my son Li Kun!" the chairman of Li Group asked.

"And Gao Qiang, was he taken too?" Gao Hong shouted.

"Several young masters were taken away by the security of Celestial Universe, but Xiao Tianyu, who caused the trouble, is fine. He's still in the lobby dining with the president of Biyue International!" Gao Qing explained.

"How could this be?"

"I don't know!" Gao Qing said, "Maybe that Xiao Tianyu has some connection with the lead security of Celestial Universe; otherwise, that security wouldn't have made Ling Feng confess!"
