Qiao Shanxing felt an overwhelming sense of unease, and for the first time in his life, he began to doubt himself. He was unsure if he could extricate himself safely from Wang Zheng's relentless pressure!

Wang Zheng then turned towards the so-called celebrities who had gathered around and held up the tampered foundation box, loudly announcing, "Let me introduce everyone to the origins of this foundation."

No one interrupted him. By now, even these so-called celebrities could see through Qiao Shanxing's facade. Despite appearing to be in control, he was actually retreating step by step under Wang Zheng's pressure!

Thus, Wang Zheng recounted their previous encounters without any exaggerations, simply stating the facts plainly, yet this alone made everyone present feel a sense of increasing tension.

"How treacherous! Not only does he not let big matters go unpunished, but even over something as trivial as foundation, he’s still trying to undermine上官詩詩. Truly despicable."

“Is this really something Qiao Shanxing would do It doesn't seem like him at all.”

"You never truly know a person's heart; how can you tell what kind of person he is"

"Didn’t you see that Qiao Shanxing didn’t refute anything If Wang Zheng really made up this story, why wouldn't Qiao Shanxing defend himself at all”

“To be honest, such actions are somewhat beneath him. It doesn’t fit the identity of a Young Master like him.”

The celebrities present felt as if they were listening to a suspenseful detective novel, thrilling and exciting. They never imagined that something as simple as foundation could be played with in so many ways; it was indeed impressive.

"Of course I wouldn’t fabricate such a story," Wang Zheng said while looking into Qiao Shanxing's eyes. "Eldest Young Master Qiao, we have never interfered with each other before. This time, we came to Hong Kong in good faith, but even before the banquet began, you sent someone to cause this commotion. In my opinion, such a thing doesn’t fit your style, so I won't demand an apology from you. However, you must tell me who did it."

Pausing for a moment, Wang Zheng continued: "Otherwise, I will never let it go."

The expression on Qiao Shanxing's face changed, but he never glanced in the direction of his troublemaker brother.

Seeing Qiao Shanxing remain silent, all the guests realized the truth! This low-class incident was probably related to the Qiao family!

At this moment, Qiao Shanwang's regret could not be described; why did he let that prank idea take hold of him If only he had known then what he knows now.

However, though Qiao Shanwang was sometimes mischievous, he wasn't a coward. Seeing Wang Zheng pushing the matter and his brother in such a difficult situation, he didn’t hide behind anymore but stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Brother Zheng, it was me who did that earlier. I failed to gauge the importance of the situation properly. Therefore, I apologize to Shi Shi and you."

Qiao Shanxing never expected his younger brother to be so bold as to step up; this came as a surprise to him.

Wang Zheng looked at Qiao Shanwang with approval in his eyes. Although the fourth young master bravely admitted his mistake, which derailed Wang Zheng’s plan, Wang Zheng genuinely felt that there was potential for Qiao Shanwang if he could be more composed. With further development, his achievements might exceed everyone's expectations!

"It really was done by someone from the Qiao family." Although Qiao Shanyang bravely stepped forward, he seemed overly clever in this matter, causing those so-called celebrities to view him a bit unfavorably.

"Actually, you don't need to be like this," Wang Zheng patted Qiao Shanyang's shoulder and said, "I've always had a good impression of you. There's no real need for such things; if we're sincere in wanting to be friends, who knows, we might become very close friends."

As Wang Zheng spoke, it seemed like an older brother educating his younger sibling, but this fell naturally on everyone else’s ears without any special feeling. It was only natural; the man's strong performance today had given them plenty of surprises.

Qiao Shanyang nodded with a complex expression, and no one could guess what he was thinking at that moment.

The eldest son of the Qiao family, Qiao Shanxing, also patted Qiao Shanyang's shoulder. Today, his brother’s performance had given him a fresh new impression— not only did he step in to help him during a critical moment but also showed unprecedented courage, which was something never seen before from Qiao Shanyang. The saying that pressure makes one grow indeed held true.

Qiao Shanxing smiled faintly and asked, "Do you still have any questions needing resolution, Mr. Wang"

Since Qiao Shanxing had already said this much, Wang Zheng decided to go along with it and stop the pretense of confrontation.

"I don't have anything more I need to say," Wang Zheng took a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray and said, "I hope you can be happy every day and that we can become very close friends."

"Certainly will be," Qiao Shanxing smiled kindly. In his heart, he also felt relieved; having been at a disadvantage all day long, he was truly afraid Wang Zheng would say something fatal now.

After the previous commotion had passed, the cocktail party could finally begin properly. After toasting several friends, Qiao Shanxing noticed Tong Qigang sitting dispiritedly in a corner and couldn't help but frown.

"Uncle Tong, what's going on with you" Seeing Tong Qigang's appearance, Qiao Shanxing had already sensed something was amiss. Considering Tong Qigang’s status as a martial arts master, he should always be calm and collected; when would he ever look like this The fear in his eyes was unrestrained, leaving people feeling very puzzled.

Moreover, Qiao Shanxing noticed that his father wasn’t present at the scene either. Logically speaking, he should have been there to accompany those elders. Then where did he go

"Uncle Tong, what’s going on with you Where’s my dad" Qiao Shanxing gently patted Tong Qigang's back; his worry grew heavier.

"It's nothing, Shanxing, don't worry about me. Go and attend to your business. My father left after taking a call," Tong Qigang raised his head, with bloodshot eyes and an extremely difficult-to-hear voice.

"Tell me what happened!" Just by looking at him, Qiao Shanxing knew that Tong Qigang was lying. For such an important banquet, how could his father leave without cause if there wasn’t something more urgent

“Second Master said to focus on your own affairs and negotiate properly with Shangguan Shishi. You don't need to concern yourself with other matters,” Tong Qigang tried to stand up but found himself weak, unable to move; Wang Zheng’s mocking gaze continuously drained his strength.

Qiao Shanxing wouldn’t give up easily. The more Tong Qigang acted this way, the more serious the matter seemed! He went around to the front of Tong Qigang and grabbed both shoulders with force: "Uncle Tong, tell me what happened!"

Tong Qigang kept shaking his head; his expression was grim. "Shanxing, this isn't something you should know."

"If you want to know, I can tell you," Wang Zheng’s voice suddenly sounded behind Qiao Shanxing!
