Their business was severely impacted, leaving Ding Jing with no choice but to inquire about Qi Zhiyang's schedule.

Try every means to meet them first. If there are any misunderstandings, just talk them out face to face. Otherwise, their vicious business will really not be able to continue.

Even their past mistakes will be brought up again, and then their family will be in big trouble.

Looking at Gu Qing in front of him, Ding Jing, who was in his forties, was a little nervous. He had also experienced many ups and downs and had been through life and death. It was rare for him to be nervous now.

Seeing Ding Jing's nervousness, his trusted aide Yin Ming stepped forward slightly and said, "Sir, if you are nervous, I will find someone to deal with Qi Zhiyang."

Ding Jing had already composed himself. He sneered, "Who do you think we are? In the eyes of some people, we are nothing but ants in this vast city of Beijing."

"Deal with Qi Zhiyang? We can hardly even see him now, let alone handle the subsequent troubles. If anything happens to Qi Zhiyang, we won't escape either."

He knew what Yin Ming was thinking, and fearing that Yin Ming might delay his plans, he turned to him and solemnly instructed, "You are not allowed to say anything later, and don't even look at Qi Zhiyang. Be a blockhead, understand?"

"Yes, sir." Yin Ming could only agree, but only he knew what he was really thinking.

Once inside the hall, Qi Zhiyang was easy to spot; his presence made him instantly recognizable in the crowd.

Ding Jing subconsciously straightened his clothes and then walked over.

Cen Qi caught a glimpse of someone approaching, but having been by Qi Zhiyang's side for many years, he had become as still as a mountain.

"Mr. Qi!" Ding Jing called out instinctively as he walked up to Qi Zhiyang.

Qi Zhiyang glanced at him, and Ding Jing's breathing unconsciously became lighter.

No wonder everyone says that among the younger generation in the capital, Qi Zhiyang is an insurmountable mountain, and no one in the younger generation can compare to him.

Qi Zhiyang's opponents have become the old foxes of the previous generation, and I heard that none of them have gotten any benefit from him.

"Mr. Ding." Qi Zhiyang looked at the newcomer without any surprise.

Cen Qi stepped forward and pulled out a seat for Ding Jing to sit opposite Qi Zhiyang, then he walked behind Qi Zhiyang and stood there.

Ding Jing was surprised that Qi Zhiyang knew him, but he was certain that he had no contact with Qi Zhiyang before today.

"Mr. Ding Jing has been asking about my schedule these past few days. I wonder what he wants to see me about?" Qi Zhiyang looked at him, his expression neither happy nor sad, his eyes deep and unfathomable, making it difficult to discern his current mood.

This is an unfathomable person.

At this moment, Ding Jing only had this thought.

"Since President Qi is such a straightforward person, I won't beat around the bush with you. I want to ask President Qi why you've been targeting our Ding family lately."

He paused for a moment: "If any family member has unintentionally offended President Qi, we are willing to apologize to him."

Qi Zhiyang's gaze suddenly fell on Yin Ming.

Yin Ming instinctively adopted a defensive stance, his hand even reaching towards his lower back, but he quickly stopped himself from doing so.

Today, the gentleman is here to see Qi Zhiyang, and firearms are illegal in China, so they cannot openly display them.

Qi Zhiyang withdrew his gaze. It seemed that the Ding family had only cleaned up their act on the surface, but were still shady behind the scenes.

That makes sense, though. If things had really been handled properly, there wouldn't be people like Yin Ming and Li Bao.

"My subordinate is a bit sensitive, please don't take offense, Mr. Qi."

Qi Zhiyang shook his head: "It was Mr. Ding's men who provoked me."

Ding Jing turned around, not expecting that the person who had caused his family to run into obstacles everywhere was by his side. But when he met Yin Ming's confused eyes, he immediately realized what was going on.

Ding Jing smiled and said, "This subordinate of mine is considered my confidant. He's by my side every day, and even when he's resting, he has a separate room in my house. It shouldn't be him."

"Do you know Li Bao?" Qi Zhiyang already knew that Li Bao was keeping an eye on Lin Zhiluo when he arrived.

Ding Jing had heard the name Li Bao before. He turned to look at Yin Ming, who stepped forward, bowed, and replied, "Sir, Li Bao is one of my managers."

Ding Jing immediately realized that this management was not the company's overt management, but rather management involving some gray-area industries.

“I’ve been spending all my time with my husband lately, so I don’t know anything about Li Bao’s situation.”

Yin Ming's voice was loud enough for Qi Zhiyang on the other side to hear.

Ding Jing thought for a moment: "Mr. Qi, I wonder what Li Bao did to upset you?"

“Li Bao has his eye on a young girl, someone I’m protecting.”

Upon hearing that Li Bao had offended someone protected by Qi Zhiyang, Ding Jing was utterly terrified.

“Mr. Qi, we really didn’t know that Li Bao had offended someone you were protecting. If we had known, we wouldn’t have dared to do it even if you gave us a hundred lives.”

Qi Zhiyang waved his hand: "No one can bully the people I protect, but Mr. Ding, there is something I am very curious about."

Ding Jing's attitude was now quite humble: "Mr. Qi, please speak."

"Li Bao, one of your men, took eight million from Li Kangning, the president of the Li Group, just to get a woman. This... reminds me of your family's business before you cleaned up your name."

"The information I have suggests that Li Kangning and Li Bao have collaborated more than once, and that you and your men are aware of this."

"Knock knock." As he spoke, Qi Zhiyang casually tapped his hand on the table.

The seemingly soft voice sounded like thunder to Ding Jing and Yin Ming, and each pat on the hand felt like a blow to their hearts.

"This makes people wonder whether the Ding family has truly cleaned up their act or not, or whether they have only cleaned up their act on the surface while still doing the same old business in private."
