"No comment, but if you keep talking nonsense, I'll have my guards take off their socks and stuff them in your mouth! By then, it'll be too late for anything you say."

Bai Feng stopped talking, glanced at Qi Jiu, and then pretended to be dead.

They're behaving well at this time.

After a long while, when the car slowly drove into the familiar manor, the two people in front finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, we're home." Being home means there's no danger anymore.

Mengling got out of the car and kindly opened the door for her. The girl opened her eyes at the same time, walked straight out of the car, and then pointed at Bai Feng at the group of people in front of her.

"Lock this guy up and keep a close eye on him. Make sure nothing goes wrong."

"Miss Heir, we've gotten to know each other along the way, but you still haven't told me your name. I can't keep calling you 'Miss Heir,' can I? So, what's your name?"

Bai Feng's eyes were filled with anticipation, but he never expected that the girl would wave her hand and leave.

Bai Feng: "..." Ruthless.

Once back at the Delin family's main building, Qi Jiu confessed to the troublemakers who had refused to cooperate earlier that day.

As she expected, the public's reaction was quite strong.

"Little sister, is there some misunderstanding between you and Mr. He? He has cooperated with our Delin family many times. Now that this contract is gone, our Delin family is still somewhat..."

Qi Lin stood beside him, his smile somewhat forced, but he still patiently asked in a soft voice.

The girl looked at her and smiled faintly. "There's no misunderstanding. I just don't like that CEO He."

"But you can't ruin the Delin family's business just because of your momentary whim. You know the current international situation of Delin. Losing one of them would have a huge impact on our family!"

Qingyuan stood beside Qijiu, thinking that scolding her was not an option, but this matter could not be left so easily.

Now the Delin family has already...

"As the heir of the Delin family, I naturally have to consider things before I act. My feelings for Heru are not just because I dislike him; there are other reasons as well. I will make up for the financial losses that this contract has caused to the Delin family."

What's the reason?

Rongman, who had remained silent, looked at her with a questioning gaze.

Rongman now seems to have learned to restrain herself. She understands that Qi Jiu's current status and abilities mean she would not ruin her family because of her willfulness.

The girl shrugged. "I can't say right now, I'll have to wait until later. But you need to know that the Delin family's refusal to cooperate with Heru is a done deal."

Upon hearing this, the others, seeing that there was no room for maneuver, stopped saying anything more.

"Qiqi, I remember when you came back, you brought someone with you?"

Kesen was still dressed in a black outfit, and he looked as if he had just returned from the training ground.

Qi Jiu nodded. "Yes, we encountered some obstacles on the road, and this is the leader of those obstacles."

"Oh? Are you alright? You silly girl, you ran into something so dangerous, why didn't you tell the family? It was so dangerous."

Qing Shuang frowned, walked straight to Qi Jiu's side, and pulled her up from the sofa. And just like that, the little girl spun around several times under Qing Shuang's influence.

"It's alright. I brought quite a few people with me. I have to thank my third sister for this. If she hadn't brought a guard team with me before I left, things might have been much more complicated now."

She didn't directly tell these people about her abilities, but she also didn't deliberately hide them.

"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. From now on, whenever you go out, you must take guards and a protective team with you. You can't afford to get into any trouble now."

Qing Shuang gently patted her hand and gave her many instructions before stopping.

"Then... do you need my help?" Kesen looked at Qijiu, thinking she was a little girl who wouldn't resort to violence.

"Bai Feng? No need. I've gotten a bit of a feel for his personality along the way. If you go now, he probably won't say anything."

Qi Jiu knew Kesen meant well, but Bai Feng was clearly a bit off.

Kesen was taken aback, then nodded.

Once everything had been discussed, Qi Jiu didn't want to stay there any longer, so she walked out of the main building.

After an unknown amount of time, the hall fell silent.

"So, my sister went out and not only did she encounter danger, but the contract didn't make any progress and it was even ruined. Was this trip a complete waste?"

Qi Lin changed into a suit, and it looked like he was about to go out.

"It doesn't matter. She must have her own reasons for doing this. Doesn't Big Brother have social engagements to attend to?" Kesen looked at him with a smile.

After Qi Lin left, Qing Die looked at his son with an emotion in his eyes that no one else could understand.

"Kesen, come with me."

Almost everyone in the hall had left sometime earlier.

In the side room.

Qingdie looked at Kesen, his brows furrowed. "What did you mean by that just now? You were implying something."

"No, I was just stating a fact. What did I say?" Kesen shrugged, his acting skills quite clumsy.

But the person in front of him is his father, how could he possibly believe what he says?

Only someone with a screw loose would believe him. "Qi Lin clearly had something else to say, but you just shut him up. Why didn't I see you do this before?"

"He was supposed to be out socializing anyway. My younger sister is the heir to the Delin family. I didn't like what he said, and Xiaoman probably didn't like it either. Didn't Father sense anything was wrong?"

"Is there anything wrong? Qi Lin is just telling the truth." Qing Die suddenly felt that he couldn't understand his son anymore.

Kesen's smile suddenly vanished, and he looked at Qingdie with a serious expression.

"Don't you think that what Big Brother said subconsciously sounded like he was blaming Qi Qi? It also sounded like he was saying that Qi Qi is incompetent. Don't tell me you didn't hear it."

Qingdie was taken aback, pursed his lips, and said nothing more.

I assumed he had the same feeling earlier, but thought I was mistaken and didn't think much of it. It seems this matter needs to be reconsidered now.

At this moment, in the Delin family's confinement room, Qi Jiu had just pushed open the door when she saw Bai Feng in the corner.

He was no longer the imposing figure he had been on the road; now he sat in a corner with his head down, lost in thought.

Hearing the noise from the doorway, he slowly turned around.

"The heiress?"
