Chapter 1178: Chapter 1178: Movements from All Sides (3)

"Really?" Qi Lao Ye’s eyes lit up as he urged, "Let Grandpa see it quickly!"

With that, he eagerly pulled his grandson into the study, took the DVD from him, and inserted it into the computer to play.

The footage on the DVD was a compilation of short clips, each featuring a person speaking. There was the owner of a photo studio and many residents, and the topic was the same: a wedding of two outsiders that had taken place a few months ago.

The people being interviewed had no idea about the intentions of those questioning them. When talking about the wedding, they were all very enthusiastic, praising the newlyweds as a perfect match, a couple made in heaven.

When someone showed them a photo and asked if it was the couple, they all nodded in affirmation.

After watching the video, Qi Lao Ye’s old face was flushed red. Of course, it wasn’t out of shame, but excitement. He seemed to already envision the downfall of Ye Fei and the prospect of his family taking control of the southeast.

With a loud bang, he slapped his hand on the table and looked at his grandson, laughing heartily, "Xiao Long, this information couldn’t have come at a better time. With this, we can completely bring Ye Fei down!"

Qi Shilong laughed along for a few seconds, but he was puzzled inside. Growing up, he had never seen his grandfather so excited. Even when his father was promoted to a full ministerial position last year, Qi Lao Ye had just casually said, "Not bad."

Now, just bringing down Ye Fei had him acting so out of character?

Qi Lao Ye, being a shrewd old fox, noticed his grandson’s confusion at a glance. Given his excellent mood at the moment, he explained, "Xiao Long, you don’t understand. I’ve always wanted to expand our influence to the southeast, but Ye Fei has been entrenched in the three seas of the southeast, making me hesitant to act. Now that we can bring him down, and you can win over Zhou Tingting, the southeast will be ours!"

Although his grandfather had explained, Qi Shilong still didn’t quite get it. "The three seas of the southeast are just three cities. Although they are not small in scale, they are not that important, are they?"

"What do you know?" Qi Lao Ye scolded his grandson, then continued to explain, "Although the three seas of the southeast are just three cities, they are extremely important in the southeast, more critical than those provincial capitals. Especially Wanghai, it is the most important of all. If we can control Wanghai, we will have control over the entire southeast. How could I not be happy?"

"Now that the three seas of the southeast are so important, won’t other families also get involved?" Qi Shilong finally understood, but also became worried.

Qi Lao Ye laughed and said, "That’s why we need to act quickly, to prepare everything before bringing Ye Fei down. Then we can strike with the speed of lightning. By the time they realize what’s happening, they will at most get some scraps. The lion’s share will be ours!"

Qi Shilong nodded, "So, we can’t reveal this news for now?"

"That’s right. Moreover, Ye Fei has just had this rape case. We also need to manipulate it to maximize its impact. Then we release this bombshell, ensuring Ye Fei’s complete downfall." Qi Lao Ye, seeing his grandson quickly grasp his meaning, felt very pleased. He then instructed, "Go and call your father and uncles now. Let’s discuss our next plan overnight and strive to gain more benefits!"

"Got it, Grandpa!" Qi Shilong also became excited and strode out of the study to call the family members. Compared to his grandfather’s excitement, his feelings were much more complex.

First, like his grandfather, he was happy for the potential further strengthening of his family, which would give him more face when he went out.

Second, bringing down Ye Fei would smooth the way for him to pursue Zhou Tingting. Although it was a task given by the family, he genuinely liked Zhou Tingting.

Third, he had accidentally made such a significant contribution. In the future, no one in the third generation will be able to compete with him.

Soon, the Qi family held an emergency family meeting overnight. After discussing and making plans, they returned to rest with excited hearts. However, they were unaware that within ten minutes of their meeting ending, the content of their core family discussion had been passed on to Zhou Lao Ye without any omissions.

This time, Zhou Lao Ye couldn’t sleep either. But he didn’t make as much of a fuss as the Qi family. He simply called his daughter-in-law, Li Minghua, alone.

Seeing Li Minghua, who was fully dressed, Zhou Lao Ye didn’t have time to apologize for waking her up so late. He spoke urgently, "Minghua, something big has happened. Old Qi is planning to take advantage of Ye Fei’s rape case to personally intervene. This situation is likely to escalate."

Li Minghua, however, remained calm and smiled faintly, "That’s perfect. I was worried that the Qi family’s young master wouldn’t be enough. With Old Qi involved, it’s just what we need to let them fight among themselves!"

At this point, she had no good feelings towards either Ye Fei or the Qi family. Ye Fei was indeed talented, but he was far too promiscuous.

What was even more unacceptable was his incestuous relationship with his mother.

How could she allow her daughter to like such a man? So, for her daughter’s sake, she had to tarnish Ye Fei’s reputation.

As for the Qi family, they were even more detestable than Ye Fei. Not only did the Qi family’s young master have the audacity to pursue her beloved daughter with ulterior motives, but they also tried to arrange a most repulsive political marriage for her.

Such a shameless family deserved to be wiped out.

"Old Qi, although increasingly self-interested, has made many contributions to the country in the past," Zhou Lao Ye said with a wry smile. "I don’t want to see him come to a bad end."

"There’s nothing we can do about it. He brought it upon himself," Li Minghua sneered.

"This man has been involved in political struggles for half his life, and it has addled his mind. He uses tactics meant for dealing with officials against a gang leader.

What’s more ridiculous is that his entire family, so many people, didn’t see the absurdity of it. A family like that, even if they didn’t provoke Ye Fei, would eventually be destroyed by someone else."

Hearing his daughter-in-law’s words, Zhou Lao Ye sighed softly and said nothing more. In truth, he was also very disappointed with Old Qi.

As his power grew, he completely lost his sense of public duty, focusing solely on securing benefits for his family.

Having such a person in such an important position was not good for the country. This time, using Ye Fei as a tool to remove this cancer was not a bad idea.
