Su Cen received Tang Wu's call very early in the morning. Even his drowsiness diminished immediately. "Did you guys get into a fight"

The voice was still pleasant, but Su Cen knew Tang Wu well enough to detect her displeasure.

If Tang Wu hadn't known about this incident, it wouldn’t have mattered, but now she had somehow found out. Su Cen could only recount what happened at Xi Ling in detail.

Tang Wu listened silently before saying, "Why didn’t you call me"

This question left Su Cen speechless for a moment. Even if Tang Wu’s family would agree to let her stay overnight with friends at the Snow Mountain Hot Springs, Su Cen had originally gone there with the intention of meeting Yi Daosan. In such circumstances, he naturally didn’t want to involve Tang Wu in this whirlpool.

He could only change the subject and say, "Lin Zhouwu’s two friends Li Pengyu and Lu Nannan came over, and the nearby Chengdu area doesn't have too many unique places worth visiting. The Snow Mountain Hot Springs is one of them, so we decided to go there. Moreover, it was necessary to stay overnight on the mountain; your family would be worried, plus you generally dislike such activities.

"You didn’t ask me if I like these kinds of things. How did you know that I don’t" Tang Wu’s voice remained clear and beautiful,

but her tone was icy cold, as if she were seeking retribution.

Indeed, Su Cen had caused her some anger. She only learned about the incident from her parents later on, learning that a conflict between Su Cen’s group led by Wang Qiqi and Yi Lihuan at Snow Mountain Hot Springs had been widely spread through various channels behind the scenes. Now, the other side would not let it go easily; forces in Chongqing City, Chengdu City, and even higher-level networks under the Yi family were stirring quietly.

After hanging up with Su Cen, Tang Wu pursed her lips, lightly pinching her translucent white fingernails on her thumb before dialing home. She was both angry and felt a subtle pang of sourness in her heart upon thinking about Lin Luoran's group and the events they had experienced alongside Su Cen.

"I had anticipated this. The Yi family wouldn't just let it go; they're prepared to face them head-on and fight until the end." Following this, Su Can spoke with everyone at the Wang family villa while Lin Zouwu cursed over the phone: "Old Wang QiQi’s father talked to Provincial Secretary Yang yesterday. It seems that the Yi family has complained directly to the provincial government. They’re playing both political and emotional cards, even uniting several dozen People's Congress representatives from Rongyu. By now, they’ve managed to portray themselves as弱勢群體 (weak groups). These people are truly adept at manipulating situations."

The Yi family’s success in reaching their current position over the decades has enabled them to navigate various levels of government with ease. The relationships among several provincial secretaries and governors are not casual acquaintances.

In the eyes of these "big figures," the conflict between Yi Lihuan, Su Can, and Wang QiQi’s group should be considered a minor generational dispute. However, even Yi Shun knows his son isn't exactly a playboy but has always had an impulsive temper; he often acts irresponsibly. If it were just any ordinary college student like the one who hit Yi Lihuan's car at Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Yi Shun might have lectured his son. But this situation is much bigger than a minor incident.

The Yi family’s large-scale mobilization likely touches on sensitive nerves. Su Can knows that such individuals with significant resources and power wouldn’t compromise their major goals for petty reasons. Yet any event capable of stirring great commotion often starts from a small matter.

The incident at Xiling Snow Mountain is exactly such an inciting factor, marking the outbreak of conflict between two opposing sides. Of course, the final outcome might not be bloody; perhaps Wang Bo would have to step down and give face to the Wang faction's high-level officials. Alternatively, Dayong Construction could be restructured or plagued by internal divisions, leaving Su Licheng with reduced control over his operations until he too steps down along with Wang Bo’s political demise. Or, it is possible that Wang Bo and Su Licheng will break through this deadlock while the Yi family suffers from backlash, pushing their political allies to the periphery.

Currently, despite the Yi family's aggressive moves, Wang Bo remains calm, countering the combined forces of over a dozen factions aligned with the Yi family covertly.

If Su Can had been alive before his rebirth, he wouldn't have imagined getting entangled in such high-level political struggles. It may look like an exciting spectacle to outsiders, but one can only appreciate its intricacies from within. Now, Su Can's family and Wang Bo’s interests are intertwined; their fate is shared.

"So, is Tang Wu's mother inviting you for dinner because of this" After finishing his call, Lin Zouwu handed the phone to Lin Luoran who asked with a hint of teasing.

This was precisely what troubled Su Can. He knew that Tang Wu’s mother Mu Xuan had reserved a table at the "Hailin Pavilion" in Changfu Square and specifically invited him over. Regardless, he felt this dinner wouldn’t be pleasant.

But he still had to go ahead with it.

The most infuriating was Wang QiQi who along with Lin Zouwu and Lin Luoran openly mocked the situation as outsiders without fear or restraint. But Su Can always sensed that something bad would happen.

Hailing Pavilion is currently one of the upscale restaurants in Rongcheng, specializing in seafood. Su Cen called Tang Wu before he arrived. Standing at the entrance was Tang Wu, wearing a T-shirt and casual pants, her tall figure towering over the restaurant's welcoming staff. She attracted several middle-aged men getting out of cars nearby with their appreciative gazes.

Su Cen approached and entered together with her. Inside a private room, Mu Xuan was already seated there, giving only a faint smile when he saw Su Cen and Tang Wu enter, saying casually, "You're here."

"Little Su, would you like to have something to drink Why don't you join uncle for two cups of beer" Mr. Tang Zongyuan was always smiling, and previously, Su Cen thought that this father of Tang Wu, who always wore a smile on his face, was one of the most enigmatic people.

"Then I'll follow Uncle's suggestion and have some beer," replied Su Cen as he sat down. There were two other people at the banquet table, an old man and a young one. The younger person had met before during Yi Lihuan’s birthday party on Xiling Snow Mountain. He remembered him standing with a sneer in a corner beside Yi Lihuan. Though not directly involved in that conflict back then, his relationship with them was clearly close as he didn’t side with Su Cen and Tang Wu.

From the moment Su Cen and Tang Wu walked in together, this person's eyes had already shown less interest, hinting at disappointment. Now when looking at Su Cen, there were additional complex emotions mixed within. Of course, they hadn’t met for the first time, and their previous encounter left a rather memorable impression on him.

Without any need to introduce or understand the situation, Su Cen immediately spotted that the person sitting next to this fifty-something-year-old was the main player of today’s banquet. This other party was also quietly sizing up Su Cen with sharp eyes, allowing Su Cen to intuitively sense the primary purpose behind Tang Wu's family inviting them.

This kind of acute perception requires a certain amount of life experience and knowledge, which Su Cen certainly did not lack despite his young appearance.

"Su Cen, Tang Wu, let me introduce you. This is Uncle Sun, Vice Mayor in charge of industry and commerce in Yu City. Next to him is his son, Sun Lei, whom both of you should call Brother. He’s already the boss of two companies, so you should address him as senior," said Mr. Tang Zongyuan when he noticed Mu Xuan hadn’t introduced anyone first, "Brother Sun, this is my daughter Tang Wu and her classmate Su Cen, son of Sir Suli Cheng from Dayong Construction."

After responding to the greetings one by one, Tang Wu glanced at her mother Mu Xuan with a look of worry.

Mu Xuan was still as composed and elegant on the outside but sitting here today, she did so unwillingly.

Till now, she had yet to recover from the shock that her daughter’s arm was broken. Hearing about Dayong Construction being at the center of controversy, and then learning that Su Cen and the son of Chengdu's Party Secretary moved Yi Lihuan, a major figure in the southwest region, news like this naturally couldn’t be hidden and spreaders were keen to share it just for fun.

Putting aside the right or wrong, Mu Xuan could naturally see through the ulterior motives hidden in such news. The Yi family might use this incident to create a big fuss against Zhang Tingjun, putting Su Can's family into great turbulence and unrest.

Recently, Vice Mayor Sun Changjie of Yu City had been closely interacting with the Tang family, secretly working through many channels to influence higher-ups in hopes of advancing further during the People's Congress. With a large ambition, Sun Changjie sometimes prioritized immediate gains over long-term benefits. Generally speaking, the Tang parents did not like dealing too deeply with such people and were considering whether to avoid contact with him. But unexpectedly, Tang Wu, who usually didn't participate in their "political discussions," invited Sun Changjie.

Since childhood, Tang Zongyuan had educated Tang Wu based on a principle of not shying away from the complexities and dark aspects of society, advocating for raising girls with richness in every aspect.

This kind of "wealth" was not merely materialistic but also included various information and knowledge. It wasn't surprising that Tang Wu knew very well about her parents' social networks and interpersonal relationships. Moreover, Tang Zongyuan had been secretly nurturing Tang Wu, even considering giving her control over a company under his umbrella during her third year at university for practical experience.

Tang Wu appeared independent and mature in many aspects; the two elders were used to it. When Tang Wu proposed inviting Sun Changjie to their home, Tang Zongyuan finally agreed while Mu Xuan remained silent.

The reason was simple: Sun Changjie had the ability to put pressure on Yi Shunsheng of Chongfan Group and mediate from the side, making the Yi family more cautious and providing significant support to Wang Bo and Su Licheng in Rongcheng. However, this also meant that Tang Wu's family would be seeking favors from others.

And it was all because of Su Can.

Their daughter Tang Wu now sided with the outsiders And she proposed this matter without any hesitation or shame

The most adept at blending in, Tang Zongyuan readily agreed; perhaps he couldn't resist his rare request from his daughter. Despite it making him do something he didn’t want to, Tang Zongyuan was so indulgent towards her. When only a probationary student, Tang Wu wanted to officially attend Xiahai University. At that time, Mu Xuan wasn't in her current position and Tang Zongyuan hadn’t yet achieved significant accomplishments either. Although always amiable with a nickname like "Tang Tiger," he had never asked for favors before but willingly lowered himself to personally carry two large boxes of gifts and speak kindly to the principal back then.

Mu Xuan was surprised by Tang Wu's request but didn't want to conflict with her over this, so she tacitly approved today’s action.

Tang Wu had set her heart on him; what could they do about ited during his middle school days—a commoner seen only in newspapers or magazines years later, someone being watched by media for her unordinary nature."If you don't want to use your brain, when I fini...
