Liu Mengyao saw that Luo Keke seemed very concerned about Lin Feng's personal life and frowned, "Keke, could it be that you like Lin Feng?"
"I, I don't! How could I possibly like this scoundrel!"
Luo Keke flatly denied it.
It wasn't that she dared not admit it, but rather that Sister Yaoyao had issues in that regard and always saw her as her imagined other half.
If she admitted to having feelings for Lin Feng, wouldn't Sister Yaoyao be heartbroken!
Oh dear!
Luo Keke felt a surge of annoyance thinking about this.
What to do about Sister Yaoyao's illness? She couldn't possibly remain single forever because of Sister Yaoyao's illness, could she?
Liu Mengyao smiled without speaking. Based on her understanding of her best friend, Liu Mengyao knew that Luo Keke might indeed have developed feelings for Lin Feng over time.
But since Luo Keke wouldn't admit it, she couldn't expose the matter.
As for Brother Xiaoqi, where on earth were you?
Liu Mengyao gazed at the sky absently, her thoughts somewhat complex.
Meanwhile, Sun Xiqing returned home.
He found Sun Pengfei accompanied by a bodyguard in his house.
"Dad, what are they here for?"
Sun Xiqing's eyes turned red as soon as he saw Sun Pengfei.
"Cousin Xiqing, what are you talking about? No matter what, we were once family. Isn't it normal for me to come and see Uncle Hai?"
Sun Pengfei said with a lewd smirk.
"Xiqing, Pengfei is right. Even broken bones are connected by tendons. Don't just stand there, go get Pengfei some drinks."
Sun Hai gave Sun Xiqing a look. He didn't want to completely alienate the Sun family.
"Sun Pengfei, get straight to the point. What do you want?"
Sun Xiqing didn't believe Sun Pengfei was just visiting.
"It's simple. This card has ten million yuan. Delete the video, then post a clarification video saying you fabricated the video to slander me, and this ten million yuan will be yours."
Sun Pengfei arrogantly dangled the bank card.
As soon as he said this, Sun Xiqing and Sun Hai's expressions became serious.
"Impossible! Don't think you're so great just because you have some money. Our family isn't lacking you!"
"I will not delete the video, nor will I post any clarification video. You should leave now! You're not welcome here!"
Sun Xiqing's attitude was firm, and he immediately ordered them out.
Sun Hai did not stop Sun Xiqing this time. He knew very well that once this clarification video was released, public opinion would turn completely.
In the end, their family would become the target of public condemnation.
"Tsk! You've got some backbone, not even wanting ten million?"
Sun Pengfei was somewhat surprised by Sun Xiqing's reaction.
A Zhen, standing beside him, also frowned and felt compelled to speak, "My dear sirs, money doesn't burn. Is it worth opposing my young master for a video?"
"It is!"
Sun Xiqing's eyes narrowed.
"Sun Pengfei, you know very well how your Sun family treated our family back then. You can't stand it when I post a very normal video. When you framed my father and sent him to prison, did you ever consider that we all shared the surname Sun?"
"And now you've come here for a family visit, what were you thinking back then?"
"I'm telling you, I will absolutely not delete the video. Do whatever you want, I'm not afraid of you!"
Sun Xiqing's stance was strong. With Lin Feng backing him, he had nothing to fear now.
"Clap clap!"
Sun Pengfei applauded. "Truly manly! Unfortunately, in front of our legitimate Sun family, you are nothing!"
As his voice fell, Sun Pengfei waved his hand, and A Zhen immediately moved.
A Zhen, a former mercenary, was extremely agile. He lunged forward and grabbed Sun Xiqing by the neck, pinning him against the wall.
"Pengfei, what are you doing?"
Sun Hai's face changed, and he shouted sternly.
"Uncle Hai, you don't accept the soft approach, so I can only resort to the hard way. You have no choice but to release a clarification video today!"
Sun Pengfei said with a lewd smile.
A Zhen raised his fist and delivered two heavy blows to Sun Xiqing's abdomen.
"Ugh!"
Sun Xiqing vomited stomach acid from the pain. He tried to resist but was no match for A Zhen.
"You're going too far!"
Seeing his son being beaten, Sun Hai, as a father, was protective and slapped Sun Pengfei hard.
Then he rushed to A Zhen and started struggling with him.
"It hurts! Get him! Beat him to death!"
Sun Pengfei clutched his burning cheek, somewhat exasperated.
A Zhen, under orders, punched Sun Hai down. He took a dagger from his person and held it against Sun Hai's neck.
"Don't touch my dad, let him go!"
Sun Xiqing panicked.
"I won't touch him if you release a clarification video right now. Otherwise, I'll cripple him with this knife!"
A Zhen's face showed a hint of ferocity. The reason he resorted to force wasn't just because Sun Hai had slapped Sun Pengfei.
It was because before coming, Sun Zheng had secretly instructed him to use extreme measures against the Sun Hai family at a critical moment.
"Don't do it! You're still young, you can't bear such infamy!"
Sun Hai, with the knife at his throat, advised Sun Xiqing.
"Dad!"
Sun Xiqing's heart bled. He was in a dilemma.
"You're not going to do it?"
A Zhen sneered and lightly slashed the knife across Sun Hai's neck.
Blood trickled down the blade. Sun Hai winced in pain but remained silent.
"No, no, I'll do it, I'll do it!"
Sun Xiqing collapsed onto the ground, completely defeated.
"Alright, I'll say it, and you'll repeat it!"
A Zhen took out his phone. The PR team had already sent him the prepared script.
"I, Sun Xiqing, now clarify that the previous video was entirely synthesized by my computer. To gain popularity and promote my skewer shop, I maliciously slandered Sun Pengfei and his buffet restaurant!"
"In reality, all of this was fabricated by me. I misled the general public and used their sympathy to achieve my personal goals. I am sorry to everyone!"
A Zhen said each sentence.
Sun Xiqing clenched his fists upon hearing this. "I can clarify and apologize, but the skewer shop isn't mine, and the video I posted wasn't for personal gain as you say."
"I can't say that!"
Sun Xiqing refused, worried that doing so would implicate Su Qingya's family's skewer shop.
"If you don't say it, I'll kill him. I'll see whether your father's life or your reputation is more important!"
A Zhen glared with furious eyes. Faced with A Zhen's vicious gaze, Sun Xiqing had no choice but to compromise.
"Brother Feng, I'm sorry I failed you, but I really had no other choice. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
Sun Xiqing, shedding tears of pain, repeated each sentence as A Zhen instructed and posted it online.
After posting, he was overwhelmed by the immense pressure and slumped to the ground, tears streaming down his face.
Sun Hai also closed his eyes in agony, trying to suppress the tears of self-reproach. He looked at Sun Xiqing's dejected state and hated himself as a father for his incompetence, hating himself for being unable to protect his wife and children.
"A Zhen, the job is done, let's go! A bunch of trash, thinking they can take down our Sun family? Overestimating themselves! Humph!"
Sun Pengfei snorted dismissively and swaggered away proudly.
At this moment, the moment Sun Xiqing's video was released, public opinion exploded.
The netizens who had been cursing the Sun Pengfei family instantly turned their criticism to Sun Xiqing after this reversal, with public opinion overwhelmingly against him.
Many people also surrounded Su Qingya's family's skewer shop.
Suddenly, the situation began to spiral out of control.
