Chapter 10

Receiving a favor, one should remember it for a thousand years. Since there is such a favor, Ji Wufeng had to repay it. He said to Qi Teng, "Wait for me here at the same time tomorrow morning, and it will be good for you."

After sending Ji Yanran to school, a cold and sharp look appeared in Ji Wufeng's eyes, and he said, "It's time to settle accounts with the Qin family."

The cosmetics company Tianxiang Group, owned by the Ji family, was facing a crisis. Qin Yi was exhausted by this matter. Not long after, she suddenly heard the news of Ji Wufeng's death and was then forced to jump to her death by the Qin family.

In his previous life, he was powerless, but in this life, he would not allow the tragedy to repeat itself.

Just as he was about to take action to resolve the Qin family issue and completely eliminate the threat, Qin Yi's call came in. As soon as the call connected, she said, "Son, there's a mock exam today. You mustn't be late, understand?"

"Mom, I don't want to go to school. Let me help you," Ji Wufeng said.

Qin Yi immediately became furious and roared, "Help my ass! Do I need your help? Get your ass to school and take the exam. If I find out you skipped class, I'll break your legs!"

"But with what's happening at home, I can't concentrate on my classes," Ji Wufeng said.

Qin Yi suddenly became excited and said, "Speaking of which, you don't need to worry. We've had a stroke of luck. The Mei family suddenly approached me, hoping to collaborate. They also said they would communicate with the relevant quality control departments to review the case of the problems with our products."

Ji Wufeng was taken aback. He had long expected that the Mei family would do something to befriend him, but he didn't expect them to act so quickly. With the Mei family's influence in Yuli, helping Tianxiang Group out of its困境 would be a piece of cake.

However, Qin Yi's tone was somewhat worried as she said, "But what do you think the Mei family is after? Could they have some ulterior motives?"

Ji Wufeng smiled and said, "Mom, you don't need to worry about that. Do you not trust Old Master Mei?"

"That's true. Old Master Mei is highly respected. How could he have ill intentions? He must truly see the value in our products," Qin Yi said.

Ji Wufeng's tone became somewhat grim, and he said, "Mom, what you should be most worried about is the Qin family."

In fact, the Qin family had never been qualified to be one of the four major families. Their strength in Yuli was only considered second-rate.

However, when Qin Yi was a young girl, she was the most beautiful woman in Yuli, a paragon of beauty, and her suitors were as numerous as fish crossing a river. Not only the major families in Yuli, but even the young masters of the prominent families in the provincial capital were infatuated with Qin Yi.

At that time, the Qin family doted on Qin Yi to the sky, dreaming of her marrying into a major family in Yuli, which would elevate the entire Qin family to prominence.

However, a stranger appeared, turning the Qin family's dream into a pipe dream.

This man was Ji Wufeng's father, Ji Changkong, an ordinary-looking man with a mysterious background.

When Ji Changkong first appeared in Yuli, he was extremely destitute and even severely injured. The kind-hearted Qin Yi rescued him and took care of him meticulously. During his recovery, Qin Yi discovered that Ji Changkong was highly knowledgeable and had an extraordinary demeanor, and the two developed a deep affection for each other.

When the Qin family learned of their relationship, they were furious. If Qin Yi married a penniless man, their plan to grow and prosper would be ruined.

Just as the Qin family was preparing to forcibly separate the two, a piece of news spread: Qin Yi was pregnant.

This news undoubtedly made the Qin family believe that Qin Yi had lost all her value. In a fit of rage, they expelled Qin Yi from the family, severing all ties.

However, Ji Changkong did not betray Qin Yi. Starting from nothing, he founded Tianxiang Group, which grew rapidly and became the leading cosmetics company in Yuli in less than two years.

The Qin family, realizing the value of Tianxiang Group, shamelessly mended their relationship with Qin Yi.

However, good times did not last long. When Ji Wufeng was less than two years old, Ji Changkong mysteriously disappeared, and despite the Qin family's extensive efforts to find him, they found no clues.

Ji Changkong seemed to have appeared and disappeared out of nowhere, as if he had never existed.

After that, the Qin family, under the pretext of helping Qin Yi, began to meddle in Tianxiang Group's affairs, secretly controlling the company and using it to benefit the Qin family and establish their own cosmetics business. This continued for over a decade, during which their power grew, rivaling the four major families.

It was at this time that a major incident occurred in Yuli. The Li family, one of the four major families, suddenly faced a crisis and left Yuli overnight. The Qin family took advantage of this opportunity to fill the void and became one of the four major families.

In other words, the Qin family's rise was entirely due to the treasure trove that was the Ji family.

However, Qin Yi firmly guarded the various formulas for Tianxiang Group's products, believing that Tianxiang Group was the only thing Ji Changkong had left for her and her son. Tianxiang Group belonged only to Ji Wufeng and could not be given to anyone else. She planned to hand it over to him once he came of age.

As Ji Wufeng grew up and approached adulthood, the Qin family became restless and formulated a plan to completely take over Tianxiang Group. They secretly framed Tianxiang Group and forced Qin Yi, even going so far as to try to eliminate Ji Wufeng to gain the inheritance.

"Son, do you really think Mom doesn't know anything?" Qin Yi's tone was filled with sorrow. "But apart from you, they are Mom's only family. Do you understand?"

Ji Wufeng felt a deep pain in his heart. Qin Yi knew everything the Qin family had done, but what could she do?

They were her parents, her siblings, her closest relatives. After Ji Changkong's disappearance, they were her only support.

"Mom, I won't allow anyone to hurt you, no one at all!" Ji Wufeng said firmly.

Qin Yi laughed and said, "Silly child, no one is hurting Mom. The Mei family will come to discuss the collaboration with me soon, and everything will be fine. Time is almost up, I have to hang up. Remember, you must do well on the exam today, or I won't forgive you."

After hanging up the call, Ji Wufeng's resolve to eliminate the Qin family did not waver. Being too kind only made the Qin family more ambitious.

His phone rang again, this time with an unknown number. When he answered, the other party spoke respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Ji. My name is Li Mingqi, you can call me Xiao Li. I was sent by Old Master Mei to discuss the collaboration with Ms. Qin Yi."

"Is there something you need?" Ji Wufeng asked.

"Old Master Mei asked me to contact you. When I talk to Ms. Qin Yi, he wants to know if you have any special instructions," Li Mingqi said.

Ji Wufeng thought for a moment and said, "I don't care about your collaboration, but I hope you can ensure my mother's safety and monitor the Qin family. If they do anything suspicious, notify me immediately."

The Qin family was too malicious, and Ji Wufeng had to find a way to eliminate them. However, Qin Yi still cherished family ties, and if he acted now, it would only make her sad and upset.

Therefore, he needed evidence of the Qin family's evil deeds to show Qin Yi that her so-called relatives were nothing but vipers.

Li Mingqi was taken aback and said, "So, Mr. Ji already knew it was the Qin family behind the scenes. Old Master Mei has already instructed us to find concrete evidence of the Qin family's crimes and then hand it over to Mr. Ji for disposal."
