"Speaking of which, Han Yu kicked Lu Yanming, 'Who said three months ago that they absolutely had to find a partner? Are you forgetting the stakes?'
"It's still early, just you wait. It's just one woman, can't I find her?'
"The disheartened Lu Yanming picked up his red wine and took a gulp, 'I should never have come, what terrible friends.'
"His words amused several of them, and the atmosphere instantly lightened a little.
"The group chatted about other matters before getting back to the main topic of Qing Muyie's situation.
"'According to Song Jun, Tang Wanxing is a daughter of the Tang family from the capital?' Han Yu frowned slightly, taking a sip of red wine, and asked.
"Qing Muyie nodded, 'Mm.'
"'You only just found out her true identity?' Lu Yanming asked curiously, 'Don't you two know each other for many years?'
"'We met when we were soldiers. She said she came from an ordinary family and her parents were in business, so I didn't ask further. During a mission, she saved me, and our trust grew considerably. The next time I saw her was before this collaboration, so I didn't deliberately investigate her background, I just assumed she was very successful in business.'
"Qing Muyie and Tang Wanxing had known each other for a long time, and they had collaborated on missions many times, so they trusted each other implicitly.
"Even though they hadn't been in contact for some years, he had no reason to doubt her.
"Since Muying Group was collaborating with Zhuorui Technology, it was clear that he was the beneficiary, so there was no reason to suspect Tang Wanxing.
"'That's true. But speaking of which, Tang Wanxing hasn't really harmed you, she just concealed her true identity,' Lu Yanming mused, frowning. 'But I heard she's in close contact with Qing Kangyu, so her intentions might not be so pure.'
"'With Antina targeting you now, if Tang Wanxing were to switch sides and threaten you, that would be the most unimaginable,' Tang Si said earnestly.
"Tang Si was in a bad mood, and his brothers could all see it.
"However, his relationship with Zhao Wuyan was not one of love-hate, but rather mutual torment.
"It was almost impossible for him to come to his senses immediately.
"Han Yu nodded heavily, strongly agreeing with Tang Si, 'Women can be truly terrifying when they go mad. Look at Zhao...' Upon mentioning 'Zhao Wuyan,' Han Yu seemed to realize something, gave Tang Si a meaningful glance, and quickly corrected himself, 'Be careful.'
"'I know.'
"Qing Muyie responded.
"Then, the group sat down to discuss the suppression of Zhuorui Technology, racking their brains for a solution.
"Listening to the conversation between the three, Qing Muyie remained silent for a long time.
"Lu Yanming couldn't stand it anymore and asked, 'What are your thoughts?'
"It was like the emperor wasn't worried, but the eunuchs were anxious to death.
"The three of them were frantic, while Qing Muyie appeared calm and composed, showing no sign of worry at all.
"The man leaned back on the sofa, a cigarette between his fingers, and said with composure, 'The worst outcome is losing everything. But as long as A Wei and the child are here, nothing else matters. When we're down and out, you can just give us a mouthful of food.'
"Lu Yanming: '...Are you serious?'
"Qing Muyie: 'Do I look like I'm joking?'
"Han Yu: 'If you really fall on hard times, Qing Sihai will retaliate relentlessly.'
"He was trying to remind Qing Muyie, but the man replied unhurriedly, 'You're not just going to watch me die, are you?'
"Getting rid of Qing Sihai would be easy; it was just that the timing wasn't right.
