Upon hearing these three words, not only Liu Kai, but all five commanders reacted with varying expressions.
Qiu Xingzhou continued, "I believe everyone is aware of the existence of the Feng family and knows how terrifying they are; they can easily destroy a great nation."
"They manipulate the government at will, instigate wars, interfere in the economy, and influence public opinion—they do whatever they want!"
"But sometimes, we have no choice but to compromise and make concessions to them."
"But nobody knows why they're so terrifying, right?"
Seeing everyone nod, Qiu Xingzhou showed no sign of worry whatsoever.
A joyful smile even appeared on his face.
"Actually, the specific reasons have always been known only to Premier Li and me."
"Today I want to tell you that there are three ancient families like the Feng family in the world."
"Three?!"
The commanders were clearly unaware of this news.
They all looked at each other with expressions of shock.
Shen Shiwei's expression was the most interesting.
He suddenly remembered that when Xu Anhua's special operations team was returning to Nanjing in the early morning, a helicopter had defected.
Then he remembered that Commander Qiu had asked him that morning to arrange for several planes to be used as "bait".
Based on the limited information he had, these things shouldn't have been done by the Feng family.
But if it wasn't the Feng family who did it, then who was?
However, if there are three such families, then it is completely understandable.
Liu Kai was naturally startled by the special number 3.
The 3 Great Families of Destiny!
It seems that his guesses from beginning to end were accurate.
Next, Qiu Xingzhou briefly introduced the deeper secrets of these families.
In a sense, these families truly stand above all nations.
It's not about strength, but influence.
His extensive network of contacts, cultivated over many years, can sometimes even overthrow a regime.
Even in ancient times, emperors who held absolute power had to consider the influence of these families.
Otherwise, they might instigate internal strife among the princes, encourage rebellions by generals in border regions, or support foreign invasions, etc.
No matter which issue you bring up, it's not so easy to resolve.
These families manipulate the world order in this way, allowing them to weather every change of regime.
As the traditions are passed down for longer, they acquire more resources and influence.
Sometimes the suffering of the lower classes is not solely due to capitalist exploitation; these three families are the ultimate cancer.
After hearing all this, the commander of the Central Theater Command was the most impatient among everyone present.
He quickly asked, "Secretary Qiu, why are you telling us about this today? Has the situation changed?"
"That's right!"
Qiu Xingzhou nodded, and couldn't help but smile again.
You could even see a hint of excitement in his expression.
"Commander Chang guessed correctly. The situation has changed, and it started to change a long time ago."
At this point, he looked at Liu Kai, this "small fry".
"Just this morning, the Feng family contacted me, specifically requesting a private meeting with Consultant Liu Kai!"
"Premier Li and I have discussed this, and we both agree that this is a sign that the Feng family is facing the danger of disintegration and is about to resort to desperate measures. Therefore, we no longer intend to keep some things from you."
This time, not only Liu Kai didn't understand, but the other commanders didn't understand either.
Let's set aside the purpose of the private meeting with Liu Kai.
But how can one conclude from this that a family "capable of easily destroying a great nation" is about to fall apart and is about to resort to desperate measures?
As the person in charge.
Liu Kai was not confused; instead, he quickly realized what was happening.
Seeing him timidly raising his hand like a student, Qiu Xingzhou smiled.
"Put your hand down, Xiao Liu. You don't need to be so reserved here. Ask whatever you want."
Liu Kai nodded.
"Secretary Qiu, are you saying that the Feng family wanted to speak with me privately, but you gathered everyone in this secret place where there are 'no Feng family spies'? Are you trying to secretly eavesdrop on the conversation without the Feng family's knowledge?"
The moment the question was posed, the commanders were all stunned.
They hadn't anticipated this possibility.
It wasn't because they were less intelligent than Liu Kai, but because they subconsciously didn't consider the possibility of eavesdropping.
Although Secretary Qiu said he would be honest today.
However, everyone's idea has always been to avoid provoking this terrifying family and to proceed with caution in all matters.
Unexpectedly, Secretary Qiu had such a wild approach, planning to use wiretapping.
If the Feng family discovers anything amiss, wouldn't they immediately break off all ties?
Or perhaps, are they no longer afraid to break ties with that family that is nothing but a cancer and parasite?
Qiu Xingzhou's answer directly confirmed everyone's guesses.
"Consultant Liu is right. We will listen in on your conversation with the Feng family later."
"Excuse me, Secretary Qiu, I have another question. Why does the Feng family want to see me? And what exactly is the relationship between the Feng family and our China?"
This is a question that not only Liu Kai wants to know, but also that other extremely powerful figures want to know.
His eyes lit up as he looked at Qiu Xingzhou.
"Hehe, let's keep it a secret for now, and the Feng family might tell you later."
"Let me give you a heads-up: this group arrogantly calls themselves 'Xi Hou,' meaning the descendants of the Green Emperor Fuxi in ancient mythology. They were also born on the Shenzhou Continent beneath our feet, but they are independent of the Chinese government and not under its jurisdiction."
Seeing that the curiosity on everyone's faces had not subsided, Qiu Xingzhou glanced at his watch again without offering any explanation.
