However, Han Junli's face quickly showed anger.

He glared at his father. "You sent people to follow me?"

Anger was also evident on Han Jingwei's face.

He pointed at Han Junli.

"Hmph, I really regret not having someone keep a close eye on you. If I had sent someone to follow you earlier, you wouldn't have done those ridiculous things."

"Use your brain! I've told you to be careful all the time, but you just won't listen."

"Don't think that just because our Han family is powerful and has a high status, no one dares to mess with us."

"Let me tell you, look up, there are many families more powerful than us; look around, there are so many families about our size; and below, there are many ambitious smaller families vying for our place. We're surrounded by enemies, can't you see that?"

"It's not that you can't do outrageous things, but you've done far too many, and you've never done them cleanly. Tell me, how many times have I cleaned up your messes? I must have owed you something in my past life!"

"Starting this month, your allowance will be reduced by half."

At first, Han Junli wasn't particularly bothered by his father's scolding and didn't think much of it. However, when he heard that his allowance was going to be reduced, a look of panic immediately appeared on his face.

In retrospect, the issues reflected in this booklet were truly serious and had a huge impact on the family.

His face showed fear, and he asked cautiously, "Dad, is it really serious?"

Han Jingwei looked at his son with disappointment and shook his head helplessly.

"What terrible things have I done to raise you like this? Use your brain and think about it. Someone is watching you and keeping track of all the awful things you've done."

"They just haven't told anyone about you yet; they've sent it to our house. This is a warning, a threat, do you understand?"

Han Junli understood, of course, that what he had done was nothing to many powerful and influential people, and that many people had done far worse things than him.

For example, many people engage in smuggling, reselling state-owned assets, registering companies abroad to make money in China, all of which are undermining the foundation of this country.

He felt somewhat aggrieved by this, feeling that what he had done was just something personal, just playing around with a woman or two.

He said indignantly, "What I did was just a small-scale affair. Those who truly betray the national interest have done far worse things than what I did."

Of course, he didn't realize that what he and the others did wasn't a good thing.

"Shut up!"

Han Jingwei waved his hand to interrupt, and scolded, "You don't learn the good things but the bad. Do you think our family has much power and strength to protect you?"

"This is a warning they sent, telling you not to ruin their plans!"

"Those who truly dare to commit serious crimes and do great things all have the full support of their families behind them. Do you have that? Even if your family has the full support, to what extent can you achieve it? And how much power does our family actually have?"

Hearing his father say this, Han Junli helplessly shut his mouth.

Indeed, their family is not considered a top-tier family.

Even among top-tier families, it depends on where their influence is primarily concentrated: in politics, the military, culture, business, or intelligence.

The political and military circles certainly wield real power, while the business world can bring them a great deal of wealth.

In the cultural sphere, it can also bring considerable fame and fortune.

"So, stop what you're doing now and let Li Donghong stop."

Upon hearing his father's words, Han Junli's face flashed with unease and resentment.

He just couldn't stand Chen Dong's arrogance, which was even greater than his own.

I also don't want to see the faces of those nouveau riche.

They dared to show disdain and disrespect when facing themselves.

"Don't feel like you've been taken advantage of! With our family's status and your position, is it meaningful for you to compete with those lowly ants? Don't you think it's beneath you to do that?"

Han Jingwei looked at his son helplessly.

Even though he's grown up, he still doesn't seem to have a brain. He does things as he pleases, completely following his own whims.

Therefore, he had to explain the reasoning behind it to the boy further.

"In this case, the opponent only sent us some information, but if you don't restrain yourself, they might leak this material."

"Even if we can protect you, your reputation will be ruined, and your family's reputation will also be affected."

"Of course, we can ignore the opinions of those ants, but the people and families around us may think that we are weak and that we are being bullied."

"Perhaps, some unscrupulous individuals who were already plotting something might escalate their actions and actually attack us... Have you considered these consequences?"

His father's words left Han Junli's mind in a state of confusion, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

I feel cold in this hot summer.

He had long known that as an illegitimate son of the family, he would not be groomed as a successor.

In many places, the family did not have strict requirements for themselves, only setting some general guidelines, and did not impose many constraints on them in daily life.

After all, scions of large families like theirs don't need to do anything special to enjoy a wonderful life.

To be honest, as long as they don't cause any major trouble, there shouldn't be any problems, so the family just let them be.

But he didn't expect that behind his life of eating, drinking, and having fun, he still needed so much support.

He never expected that his opponent would seize on his weakness and use it as leverage against him.
