Zhao Ming was alarmed and nearly spilled his wine in the process.
"As if I would do something that risky in telling the guards to frame them?" Zhao Ming rolled his eyes.
He merely wanted to disrupt the party to lessen Zhao Xin’s dominance. Never once did he expect it to actually hinder Zhao Xin’s position or importance in Zhao Gaofu’s mind.
"Huh? You didn’t instruct them?" Confused, Zhao Heng found it surprising.
Other than him, who else could instruct the guards and make them take such a risk.
"I thought it was you who used the woman as your witness to cover your actions." Zhao Ming returned the accusation back to him.
"Hah, that’s funny. I’m busy thrusting them, and you overestimate if you think I can command the guards."
"If it’s not you and not me, then who else?"
When Zhao Ming brought this point up, both of them suddenly realized there was a hidden person who was aligned with their objective. And this hidden person was also someone of a high status within the Zhao Family.
The further they attempted to ponder, the more frightened and cautious they became. In the end, both decided to keep the matter silent without actually saying it aloud.
As the two brothers realized the severity of this matter, Xu Feng was visibly seen grabbing a plate and taking multiple foods to the large table. The party was like a giant buffet, with many different types of delicacies— some even costing 1000 dollars a piece to eat.
"How are you still in the mood to eat, Feng?" Zhao Kai, who was normally the foodie, gazed at Xu Feng in shock. Just earlier, he was lectured harshly by Zhao Xin, prompting his appetite to decrease tremendously.
"You got lectured, but I didn’t." Xu Feng replied, taking another bite of juicy tenderized meat. "And I had to deal with an old fogey, so I’m starving."
Zhao Kai couldn’t even respond properly because the timing was insane.
After all, as soon as Xu Feng said his last sentence, a person was walking toward them.
"Are you going to keep calling me an old fogey?" Hans Pang, who had unintentionally heard Xu Feng’s remark toward him.
Alas, that was his mistake, considering this no-background kid was actually an iron spike.
"I’m a man of my word, so I won’t pursue this matter any longer now that Miss Xin has detained the guards." Hans Pang said after much difficulty.
Likewise, Xu Feng nodded in agreement. The situation was no longer ideal to continue to delve into, and they would be foolish to resume the fight for no reason.
Hans Pang merely wanted to give a warning to Xu Feng to not make another mess, but he realized it was pointless of him to do so.
After all, it was clear that Xu Feng already knew what to do.
Shortly after Hans Pang left them alone, Zhao Kai walked to Xu Feng and said, "Feng, you must accompany me to all events. Your aggro is very big."
"Scram," Xu Feng rolled his eyes and pushed him away.
What an ungrateful person he was?

He had helped him alleviate most of the problems, yet Zhao Kai was still unsatisfied.
"Heh, don’t be like that, Feng." Zhao Kai smiled sheepishly and grabbed a delicious piece of fried calamari. "Here, have some of this."
Meanwhile, the party officially commenced, with many beginning to sing Happy Birthday and wishing Zhao Gaofu a blissful year. At the same time, numerous guests started to walk forward with huge presents of their own.
When Zhao Gaofu opened some of the presents, most of them were like ancient relics or extremely valuable items costing at least 300 thousand dollars.
"Hahaha, you are all too much for gifting this old man this kind of valuable gift." Zhao Gaofu laughed merrily, clearly pleased with the gifts.
"Grandfather, you should be careful of your health." Zhao Xin warned gently from the side. "Little Kai has also arrived, so why don’t I bring him over to greet you."
"Little Kai?" Zhao Gaofu raised an eyebrow, his expression changing slightly before shaking his head. "You naughty little girl."
