“What a grand gesture!”

Peng Shiyu's eyes widened, clearly shocked by the amount.

"Not bad."

Lin Jingyu was not surprised at all. "The Huo family was saved, so it's only right that they give out as much money as they can."

If the Huo family were wiped out like the other two families, what good would all their wealth do? In the end, it would just benefit someone else.

Besides, this amount of money is just a drop in the ocean for the Huo family. It wouldn't damage their foundation; it might just be half a month's or a month's profit.

"This amount of money is really nothing to the Huo family."

Grandpa Qingxuan nodded, "No matter how much money the Huo family has, it's earned through their own abilities, and it has nothing to do with us."

Junior Sister, Senior Brother Qingfeng instructed on the phone that you should keep the one million yuan and take it to Beijing to invest later.

"good."

Lin Jingyu readily agreed.

...

Grandpa Zhang will remain in Xiangdu for the time being.

Two months later, he returned to Beijing with Lin Jingyu and others.

With him here, Grandpa Qingxuan wasn't so bored.

The two old men now have company; they go out for tea every day, and then stroll through the park or a large shopping mall.

They lived a carefree and easy life.

Lin Jingyu and the others got busy.

Especially since Peng Shiyu was designing costumes for her new drama, she practically lived at the company.

Nowadays, Hongyao Film and Television Company usually starts filming movies and TV series around the same time.

So every time she encounters this situation, she has to prepare and design a whole bunch of costumes, keeping her so busy that she almost forgets she has a family.

Time flies.

A month passes in the blink of an eye.

At this time.

A group of foreigners appeared at Xiangdu Wharf.

The appearance of approximately one hundred people at the same time attracted considerable attention.

However, someone received these people, and they quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Ordinary citizens didn't pay much attention to it, since many foreigners come to Hong Kong every year.

It can be said that they have long been living on this land as foreigners.

However.

The gang members who were destined for this line of work immediately reported the news to their superiors.

So the news quickly spread to many people.

These people don't care if their information gets out.

High-ranking officials and foreigners greeted them like ancestors.

The leading foreigner didn't give them any face and directly raised his hand to slap the highest-ranking officer across the face.

The loud 'smack' stunned the officer.

It also startled the others.

Because none of them expected that this adult would take action.

"Useless! How did you manage Xiangdu?"

The hook-nosed foreigner pointed at the officials present and angrily shouted, "With so many deaths, I think you all want to go back to jail."

"My lord George, please forgive me."

The officer, oblivious to the five handprints on his face, quickly explained, "None of us interfered in their operation this time; the Earl forbade us to intervene."

We never expected that the Earl and his entourage would encounter such a terrible accident.

Please, Lord George, allow us to atone for our crimes through good deeds.

"Humph, just you guys?"

George, the foreigner, couldn't help but sneer, his tone filled with disdain, "If you had that kind of ability, they wouldn't have died on your turf."

"If it weren't for the years you've spent guarding Xiangdu, I would have shot all of you bastards."

The officer quickly begged for mercy, "Sir George, we are willing to atone for our sins."

"You bunch of useless trash are lucky if you don't cause me any trouble."

George, the foreigner, looked at him with utter contempt, showing him no respect whatsoever.

He immediately ordered, "Have the identities of those murderers been found out yet?"

“Sir George, we already know some of the murderers and their identities.”

The officer quickly brought out all the information he had gathered from the investigation.

He knew he couldn't make the decision, so passing the buck was a good thing for him.

George, the foreigner, watched it carefully once.

I have gained an initial impression of the people on these lists.

"These people's methods are truly extraordinary."

George, the foreigner, said coldly, "They all have intricate connections with the high-ranking officials in Beijing, and it's possible that they were the ones who gave the orders."

The officer asked, "Sir George, what should we do next?"

"Everything remains the same."

George glanced at him and continued, "Now we just need to keep an eye on Xiangdu, keep an eye on these people, and wait for the royal family's notification."

"Lord George, shall we not seek revenge?"

"What revenge is there? They're dead, they brought it on themselves."

"this……"

This answer was completely unexpected by the superior.

It should be said that everyone present was quite surprised.

He brought so many people to Xiangdu for revenge.

It's surprising that they didn't mean it that way.

"Do whatever I tell you to do."

George, the foreigner, revealed a proud look. "Revenge doesn't have to involve fighting and killing. We have other ways. Don't forget, Shangri-La is still ruled by our royal family."

As for whether it will eventually be returned to the ancient Eastern country, that will be a matter of more than ten years from now.

Your current responsibility is to guard Xiangdu well and try your best not to make any more mistakes.

Otherwise, no one can save you.”

...

"These foreigners came really fast."

Luo Pengfei frowned. "Are they seeking revenge for those foreigners from last time?"

"Wouldn't their revenge involve a firefight again?"

Having finally been brought back from the company, Peng Shiyu couldn't help but worry again, "Will they target the Huo family again?"
