deliberately dragged out the last syllable, her eyes filled with schadenfreude. Su Xiaolu, are you going to have to take odd jobs againSu Xiaolu smiled gently, "I've reserved a larger noodle shop, ev...Seeing the black leather shoes, Liu Shiqi subconsciously looked up at the owner of the shoes.

The next moment, he was completely stunned. Then, his whole body trembled, and he jumped up from his seat involuntarily, his face filled with shock and excitement.

He had seen the owner of the shoes countless times. But never before had he felt such excitement.

Even when he was at the peak of his career, standing atop the pyramid of power, this man's boss was still the owner of these very shoes. In front of others, this person had to be extremely respectful when meeting him. But now, after stepping down that day, the owner in front of him became his true master.

The arrival was none other than Yan Xiaoti, the current head of the Yan family. The man who changed Liu Shichi's life. And Yan Xiaoti, like Liu Shichi, grew up together, from the young and outstanding generation cultivated by the family back then, to become the leader of the family.

Along the way, Liu Shiqi also gave Yan Xiaoti a lot of help.

"Old Yan..."

Seeing that Yan Xiaotei had actually come in person, Liu Shiqi was so nervous that he jumped up from his seat, almost knocking over the teacup on the table. But he didn't care about that at all. He walked forward excitedly a few steps.

Yan Xiaoti also hurried a few steps, with a smile on his face, and said: "Liu Lao, you've overwhelmed me. Speaking of age, I should still call you brother. In terms of position, you were still my old boss before."

Mr. Liu shook his head gratefully and said, "Elder Yan, everything I have is thanks to you. Without the Yan family, how could I become your former superior Besides, now that you are in charge of the empire, taking the time to see me is an honor for me."

"Big brother, you mustn't say things like that. If others see it, there will be rumors and gossip." Yan Xiaoti held Liu Shiqi's hand tightly, but he enjoyed the respect that came from Liu Shiqi's heart.

Yes, this elderly man before you, everything he has is from the Yan family.

He was only being polite, or perhaps it was just a tactic used by those in power. Liu Shiqi wasn't oblivious to this, but he still appeared incredibly respectful. This wasn't just because the person before him was a key figure who could influence the entire empire, but also because he was a benefactor in his life!

They exchanged a few pleasantries and then sat down on the sofa. This time, the driver did not come in but remained outside, ready at all times. Liu Shiqi only took up one-third of the sofa, showing his respect for Yan Xiaote.

"Mr. Liu, you rushed to Beijing without giving any notice beforehand. I should have made arrangements." Yan Xiaote spoke first.

Ye Fan had just arrived in Beijing, but Liu Shiqi also suddenly came to Beijing. It was already a bit too much to emphasize Ye Fan. However, standing up at this time shows that Liu Shiqi also wants to continue standing with the Yan family and resist the counter-attack of the Ye family, Chen family, and other families.

However, in Yan Xiaoti's view, Ye Fan coming to Beijing was nothing to worry about. Just a small young man, what kind of storm could he possibly cause

To make such a fuss at the Yan family's place, is it possible to even overturn the heavens

Deep down, Yan Xiaoti was a little displeased with Liu Shiqi's actions. However, he didn't show it. After all, Liu Shiqi came to publicly declare his allegiance and let some people see.

From this perspective, Liu Shiqi's choice is also correct.

It's common knowledge that after Chen Japeng caused a stir recently, although Yanjing City has calmed down, a larger vortex is forming. And now Ye Fan's arrival will be the one to stir up the vortex and turn everything upside down. Several factions are probably already preparing to deal with it.

“It’s not just because of Ye Jia’s son acting unilaterally.” Liu Shiqi shook his head, looking sincere: “The new session is about to begin, and the imperial court is already in turmoil. The last incident in Linhai gave us a heavy blow. This time, how can we let them succeed Especially this time it's so important. Although I’m stepping down, I still have some influence. So…”

Yan Xiaoti couldn't possibly misunderstand Liu Shiqi's intentions.

This time, the Fatso being able to cause such a big reaction is also inseparable from the factor of changing realms. Although the new emperor won't change, some important positions will see changes. And every realm shift is also an opportunity for major factions to reshuffle.

“I had everything planned out. We laid the groundwork for this dimensional shift a long time ago. Now that the time is almost here, they don't have enough time to pull off a comeback.” Yan Xiaoti smiled confidently: “So, two kids They’re nothing to worry about.”

Liu Shiqi nodded, but he still felt uneasy in his heart.

"Guess where those two boys are now" Yan Xiaoti seemed to have thought of something and spoke up.

Where

Liu Shiqi asked with a hint of curiosity. Perhaps, the entire Beijing knew about Ye Fan and Fatty's whereabouts. Although news of Ye Fan's arrival in Beijing spread throughout the city for a time, his whereabouts became a mystery. No one knew where he was, which also sparked many speculations.

More people felt he should have gone to the Ye family's mansion!

At Wei Guangming's home.

Yan Xiaoti's face flashed a sneer, and he said lightly. From the moment Ye Fan entered the Wei family, he received the news. With the Yan family's connections, there was no information he couldn't find out. Especially, the Yan family had its own intelligence system and spy system, spread throughout the entire empire.

This system is also independent of the internal systems within the empire, and even unknown to outsiders.

Upon hearing Yan Xiaoti's words, Liu Shiqi was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly understood. He had worked with Wei Guangming before and naturally knew some things about him.

"Could it be that Wei Guangming is from the Chen family" Liu Shiqi frowned, asking in a somewhat incredulous tone.

Yan Xiaoti shook his head and said, “I’ve looked into a lot of Wei Guangming’s information. He doesn’t seem to have much connection with these families, but he gets along very well with each one. Back then, he reached that position as a result of several families compromising. However, Wei Guangming didn’t stir up much trouble. The Wei family hasn’t even had a place in the Xia Dynasty yet.”

Liu Shiqi silently nodded, tacitly accepting Yan Xiaoti's words.

No matter how hard they try, these people will never be able to surpass the clans that founded the Xia Dynasty. They were born with the empire and rose with it. Their fate is inextricably linked to the rise and fall of the empire.

And there are those ancient families who have always silently guarded this empire. And those families, which rose to prominence because of one person's attainment, in the end, were nothing more than their vassals.

"Lao Liu, you don't have to think too much about it." At this time, Yan Xiaote stood up from his seat. He no longer had the mood to talk with Liu Shiqi, and his mind was still thinking about the woman waiting for him. He continued, "Tomorrow, I will have Hong Qing talk to you in detail about the matter of destroying the Ye Hui."

Liu Shiqi immediately stood up and nodded respectfully. His primary purpose in coming to Beijing this time was to destroy the Ye Hui...
