While Wei Tianci was happily studying the Cicada Wing Sword.

Qi Linglong was also sitting in the office of Longteng Group, studying the top-grade spirit stones.

She stared into space, lost in thought.

Recalling the moments he shared with Wei Tianci in the rainforest.

"Does this mean my luck has finally turned around?"

She was talking to herself.

She gained the favor of Wei Tianci.

Successfully obtained the top-grade spirit stone indicated by the treasure map.

"In layman's terms, would you say I've achieved success in both love and career?"

Qi Linglong's ears inexplicably turned red.

But in the next instant, her ears twitched, and with a flick of her wrist, she put away the top-grade spirit stone.

Just then, with a click, Ye Fan, the one-armed man, and his trusted confidant Xiao Bai pushed open the door and entered.

Ye Fan looked at Qi Linglong with a cold expression: "You still have the nerve to come back?"

Qi Linglong said calmly, "I am the legal representative of Longteng Group. This Longteng Building is my territory. Why can't I come back?"

She still remembers Wei Tianci's original thoughts.

The reason I was able to take the position of the head of Longteng Group was purely because Ye Fan was worried that something might happen to the group, so he prepared to let me take the blame!

'He's really made things worse for himself.'

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's gaze sharpened, and then he said in a sinister tone.

"Your Longteng Group?"

"Qi Linglong, you should understand one thing."

"This is a dog-eat-dog world. Wealth without the protection of force is like a castle in the air, which may collapse at any time."

Qi Linglong said calmly, "Stop talking nonsense and just state your purpose."

Ye Fan's face turned cold: "Pack your belongings, get out of Longteng Group, and leave with nothing!"

"Out of consideration for our years of friendship, I'll spare your life. This is my biggest concession!"

A chilling killing intent emanated from him!

He planned to keep Qi Linglong calm for the time being, get her to hand over control of the group first, and then take further action!

Unexpectedly, Qi Linglong, who was sitting down, was not afraid at all.

"When you were bombarding the mountain with tNT in the rain, did you ever consider sparing my life?"

Qi Linglong scoffed.

"Then I'll give you a notification now as well."

"From this day forward, Qi Linglong's forces will sever all ties with the Dragon Emperor's Palace!"

"This Dragon Tower will be my home turf from now on. I hope you'll stay away from me, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a fierce aura, typical of Foundation Establishment cultivators, burst forth from her body.

Ye Fan's expression changed upon seeing this.

He sensed that Qi Linglong's aura was no less powerful than his own!

Ye Fan's expression immediately turned ugly: "You really did hide your true intentions well, and you really do have wolfish ambitions."

Qi Linglong listened noncommittally, but she didn't need to let Ye Fan know that she had only advanced in the rainforest.

For a moment, the office fell into a deathly silence.

Ye Fan had no choice but to accept that he had made a wasted trip today.

He can't win over Qi Linglong now, so taking action would be pointless.

Qi Linglong was also certain that the difference in strength between her and Ye Fan was not significant, and that she was not in any danger to her life, so she remained calm and composed.

Xiao Bai, standing anxiously to the side, scratched his head and said, "Boss, strategist, you should each take a step back, each take a step back, it doesn't have to be like this."

"Weren't we all doing fine before?"

"Let's enjoy tea together."

"Let's discuss how to deal with Wei Tianci."

"Let's go to the golf course together."

"Let's launch an attack on Wei Tianci together at the economic forum."

"Have you all forgotten?"

It would have been better if Xiaobai hadn't said anything.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan became even angrier.

"Shut up! Wei Tianci and she have long been adulterers!"

"That bitch Qi Linglong betrayed us long ago!"

He glared at Qi Linglong, feeling extremely resentful!

This vile woman is pretending to be a chaste saint in front of me.

But after arriving in Zhonghai, he was so quickly won over by Wei Tianci!

I'm so angry!

Qi Linglong narrowed her eyes as she looked at Ye Fan.

"Ye Fan, for the sake of our past working together, I can give you a clear warning: in the future, try to avoid going against Wei Tianci."

"This is not good for you."

"The depth of the relationship between Wei Tianci and Ling Xumei, the female leader of the underworld, is beyond your imagination."

"You may not know this, but Ling Xumei is planning to bring Wei Tianci to a big gathering of underworld bosses in Hong Kong."

"If we wait until Ling Xumei becomes the global godfather, let alone the Dragon Emperor Palace's influence in Zhonghai will be suppressed."

"Even the US headquarters of the Dragon Emperor Palace cannot escape her clutches."

"If I were you, I would have kept a low profile and never acted so recklessly."

"clear?"

Ye Fan's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

If his previous assumptions about the relationship between Wei Tianci and Ling Xumei were merely speculation.

After this rainforest incident, he has become certain that their alliance is unbreakable.

Even when Wei Tianci was buried alive by the mountain, Ling Xumei still acted as if she wanted to stand up for him, which was simply despicable!

As for this gathering of global leaders in Hong Kong, it does indeed have the purpose of selecting a global godfather.

If Ling Xumei succeeds in taking power, then my life will really be difficult!

This process must be interrupted!

Ye Fan's expression shifted between light and dark.

However, in an instant, when Ye Fan noticed the knowing look on Qi Linglong's face, he was furious.

She used to only show this expression when everyone was working together to deal with outsiders.

Today, however, I'm facing myself!

It's all because of that bastard Wei Tianci!

Ye Fan immediately suppressed his anger and gave a cold smile: "Qi Linglong, it seems you feel sorry for Wei Tianci? Are you worried that I will cause him trouble?"

He then gave a mocking smile.

"Unfortunately, you, Qi Linglong, are nothing more than a flower that is willing but the water that is not.

"You, Qi Linglong, look down on me, but do you think you'll have a good ending with Wei Tianci? I'm laughing."

Qi Linglong frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

Ye Fan gave a mocking smile: "What do you mean?"

He opened the short video app on his phone, performed the video, and then slapped the phone onto the table.

"See for yourself!"

As the gossip reporter's voice came through, Qi Linglong picked up her phone with a cold face and looked at the content.

"Wei Tianci, the most eligible bachelor in Zhonghai, is getting married!"

The scene depicts Wei Tianci embracing Ning Xingruo as they announce their union to the world.

Qi Linglong's expression changed, and then she turned to the next page.

"Wei Tianci and Ning Xingruo are a perfect match, a match made in heaven!"

The scene depicts Wei Tianci and Ning Xingruo sitting happily in front of their family.

They were wearing the same clothes they had worn in the rainforest.

Qi Linglong then scrolled through the videos faster and faster; all the videos were about Wei Tianci's upcoming wedding.
