The charity gala was in full swing. Tong Le and Wen represented the Zong Family at the event. Tong Le intended to donate a portion of her recent lottery winnings to the foundation, as she had no plans to travel abroad anytime soon. Various personal matters had piled up, disrupting her plans.
Not long after the gala began, Tong Le spotted some familiar faces in the crowd: Hou Yi, Zong Caishan, and even Hua Rongxiao. After some inquiry, she learned that one of the founders of the charity foundation was Wan Zhang. However, Wan Zhang was absent today, likely replaced by Hua Rongxiao.
Hou Yi approached Tong Le and whispered to her. "I noticed you as soon as you walked in. This event has gathered quite a network of people." He clinked his glass against hers while Tong Le's gaze drifted towards Zong Caishan and Hua Rongxiao nearby.
Hua Rongxiao seemed to know everyone, and Zong Caishan, despite his sinister aura, was also present at such a gathering.
Hou Yi chuckled. "What do you expect? Do you think charity galas are truly sacred and untouchable? Some people genuinely come to help those in need, while others are just putting on a show. And then there are those with ulterior motives."
Tong Le frowned. "I hope this Charity Foundation isn't raising funds only for it to end up in the wrong hands. If that's the case, I won't donate."
Hou Yi casually replied, "In that case, you might as well donate your money to me."
Rolling her eyes, Tong Le turned away to grab some desserts. Hou Yi followed her closely. "When are you marrying Zong Zeyu? Have you set a date? If you have, I’ll crash the wedding."
Tong Le replied playfully, "You were best friends with Winston, so you must know a bit about Wan Jia. I've been investigating Hua Rongxiao lately, so if you have any information, please share."
Turning back with a slight smile, she added, "If you help me with this, I’ll tell you my wedding date."
Hou Yi paused for a moment, unsure whether he was being taken advantage of or played.
Tong Le glanced again at Hua Rongxiao and Zong Caishan. She noticed that Zong Caishan seemed unwell; he was now in a wheelchair and struggled to stand for a toast. Shaking her head, she murmured to herself about karma catching up with evildoers.
Hou Yi seized the opportunity to boast. "Zong Caishan being in a wheelchair is all thanks to me. If I hadn't brought my gang and broken his legs, we wouldn't be witnessing this scene today."
The more Tong Le thought about it, the more suspicious she felt. Hua Rongxiao had taken over Wan Zhang's business; what was Wan Zhang doing now? He didn’t seem particularly upset about his son's death—he truly was a cold-hearted man. How could such an old man be charmed by someone like Hua Rongxiao and hand over his family business to her? What kind of allure did she possess?
The more she pondered, the more confused she became. Something felt off about all of this.
As she surveyed the venue again, she found something strange about the foundation itself.
Hou Yi reminded her, "Since you're already investigating Hua Rongxiao, why not look into this foundation as well? There might be some shady dealings hidden here."
Tong Le nodded thoughtfully. "I actually had that idea. The more charitable something appears on the surface, the more likely it is to hide something unsavory underneath. After all, such places are often the best cover for wrongdoing."
Meanwhile, in a corner of the venue...
Li Feng pushed Zong Caishan's wheelchair to a secluded corner where no one was around. He stepped back, and soon, Hua Rongxiao approached with a glass in hand, standing beside Zong Caishan.
Hua Rongxiao pretended to toast and asked, "How did it go with Ke Wenjie after I had you connect with him last time?"
In front of Zong Caishan and Hua Rongxiao, he naturally took on a subordinate's demeanor. He had long known that Hua Rongxiao was keeping a pretty boy, and it was highly likely that this pretty boy was Ke Wenjie.
Zong Caishan smiled broadly. "It's all taken care of with Hua Jie! You can rest assured! That young man named Ke is quite capable; just a few words from Xiang Dai and he handled everything perfectly without me having to worry at all. As for the follow-up, you can be even more at ease; I've arranged everything."
Hua Rongxiao raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling a bit proud. "Ke Wenjie is my person. In the future, if you need anything, just go through him. He's very clever and catches on quickly."
Zong Caishan nodded repeatedly. "Of course, of course! Hua Jie, then we can cooperate moving forward."
Hua Rongxiao smiled faintly. "Let's wait for the news; it will come soon."
After Hua Rongxiao left, Li Feng returned to Zong Caishan's side.
He pushed Zong Caishan's wheelchair and whispered, "Brother, do you really need to praise that Ke Wenjie? Didn't you say last time that he deliberately gave you a hard time? That guy is just a lowlife who looks down on others, and here you are praising him in front of Hua Jie?"
Zong Caishan snorted coldly. "What do you know? That Ke Wenjie is Hua Rongxiao's pretty boy! After all these years, when have you seen Hua Jie smile at me like she did just now? It's clearly a woman's flirtatious expression! This strong woman is formidable in every way except when it comes to matters of the heart! I praised that kid named Ke just to make Hua Jie happy. Ultimately, we all serve her and rely on her for our livelihoods."
Li Feng still couldn't understand. Was Hua Rongxiao really that impressive? You’re already formidable enough; why do you still have to watch her face?
Zong Caishan sneered. "You don't know how ruthless she can be. There are things I wouldn't dare to profit from, but she has no fear at all."
Zong Caishan recalled, "Did you manage to deal with Jin Zi Meng as I asked? She caused me to lose my lifeline; I must make sure she suffers!"
Li Feng looked troubled. "I wanted to handle it, but recently there have been bodyguards around Jin Zi Meng at all times. I don't dare get close!"
Zong Caishan guessed correctly. "It must be Tong Le and Zong Zeyu's people! Am I right?"
Li Feng nodded. "Of course! Who else would meddle in this?"
Zong Caishan pondered. It seemed that Zong Zeyu was determined to go against him!
