"Not only do I think you have an unlimited future, but most people in the capital also believe this."

Wang Zheng took over Xiao Hutongxian and poured a glass for himself and Su Tianqi. He said, "If you can break free from all the restrictions imposed by Su Tianran, you will have a whole new world to yourself. You must prove that you are not inferior to him but even stronger."

"Alright!"

Su Tianqi clenched his teeth and looked at Wang Zheng with a hint of unfulfilled ambition in his eyes. He lifted the glass, clinked it against Wang Zheng's, and then downed its contents.

Afterward, he placed the glass heavily on the table and mumbled to Wang Zheng, "Thank you for waking me up!"

"Mm, we don't need to say such things; it would be too formal."

Wang Zheng forced himself not to feel nauseous as he said, "Do you remember the deal I mentioned earlier"

"Mm, go on."

"Actually, it's not a deal but just a request."

"Just tell me what you want. If I can help, I will do my best!" A few glasses of strong liquor had made Su Tianqi completely disoriented.

"I would like to know Endi Yichun's whereabouts," Wang Zheng said in a low voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Tianqi shivered!

"You... What do you want to do to him"

"When I was rescuing the hostage, Dumu Yichen dared to attempt an assassination under such a serious situation. Do you think someone who doesn't care about his country or family deserves to live When you saw what he did, weren’t you filled with righteous indignation Such behavior has been universally condemned by everyone, and even Su Family's reputation is tarnished as well, despite the government trying to suppress this news publicly. However, people’s eyes see clearly, and their hearts know too! The Su Family's name is now utterly disgraced on the streets, and you, being in charge of the Su Family currently, are obviously implicated!"

"It does seem like that," Su Tianqi was very proud and arrogant with a strong sense of vanity. Naturally, he would care about his reputation, so what Wang Zheng said made sense to him, and he had to seriously think about how to improve his image since he was now the heir to the Su Family.

"Dumu Yichen dared to do such outrageous things during a national crisis; every righteous Chinese person would not tolerate it! Isn't that right"

"Absolutely correct, no tolerance whatsoever!" Su Tianqi, whose pride had been roused and who was also slightly drunk, slammed his fist on the table!

"Anyone with patriotic sentiments would want to kill Dumu Yichen. Therefore, by telling me where he is, you're helping all of China do a great deed! The government and people will thank you! Isn't that right"

"That's correct!" Su Tianqi slammed the table again!

"China needs young men like you with such patriotic fervor."

Wang Zheng’s face was full of righteous indignation. He was already forcing himself to say these words despite feeling nauseous.

Xiao Chenyu silently ate his food on the side, completely unaffected by what was happening around him, showing remarkable self-control. Zhang Xuan, however, wasn't as composed; he looked at Wang Zheng with a complex expression before saying, "I need to go outside and vomit."

"However, I'm not sure about Dumu Yichen’s whereabouts. We can only try," Su Tianqi was clearly drunk, his tongue heavy as he spoke: "The Su Family is one thing; I am another. My reputation cannot be ruined by the Su Family!"

"Come, let's have another drink! I'll toast to you!" Wang Zheng proactively raised his glass and watched as Su Tianqi downed it in one go!

…………

Mister Su had a great day today. After this round of drinking, he finally realized his place and the relationship between himself and the Su family.

In fact, his heart was already weighed down by much dissatisfaction towards his grandfather and Su Tianran, but due to fear of their status in the family, he never dared to show it. Wang Zheng's words, combined with the strong alcohol, finally unleashed the devil within him; once this devil was let loose, there was no way to put it back.

Su Tianqi’s lackey had never seen his master so happy before. On their way back half-drunk and half-sober, he sang all the way despite the bone-chilling sound of his voice clearly expressing his emotions.

After sleeping for a whole afternoon, Su Tianqi gradually woke up. Feeling the strong smell of alcohol in his breath, he walked over to the sink and splashed cold water on his face with force.

"Mister Su, are you awake" The beautiful "life secretary" beside Su Tianqi timely offered him a cup of milk.

After finishing the milk that could sober him up, Su Tianqi looked at the life secretary's black pantyhose and short skirt covering her rear end and showed an evil smile.

"Come here. Master is in good spirits today, so I will treat you well." After saying this, Su Tianqi roughly pulled the female secretary over and made her kneel down on the sink countertop before forcefully tearing off her short skirt and ripping apart her pantyhose.

The female secretary emitted a bone-melting moan at just the right time.

Ten minutes later, Comrade Su Tianqi finished his business. This was under the influence of alcohol; usually without medication, he would probably surrender after two or three minutes.

While lying naked and enjoying the female secretary's service, Su Tianqi dialed a number that had been saved in his phone for quite some time.

"Hey, Brother Chu, it's Tianqi."

"Fourth Young Master, it’s you," Chu Maotao's voice on the other end of the phone was filled with respect.

"No need to call me Fourth Young Master, Brother Chu, just call me Tianqi." Su Tianqi appeared very humble, acting as if he were being courteous to a talented person. In fact, before this, he had never thought much of Chu Maotao and considered him merely a secretary; even when meeting him, he would often ignore him. Now, he realized that such a major secretary by his grandfather's side possessed considerable influence beyond the comprehension of others and needed to be cultivated carefully.

Right now, Su Tianqi truly understood that every level of the Su family had been tightly controlled by Su Tianran, making it insufficient for him just to have an apparent position if he wanted to become a legitimate heir. He also needed his own power base and loyal followers.

The first person Su Tianqi aimed to cultivate was none other than Chu Maotao, the top secretary beside the old man.

Chu Maotao clearly wouldn’t actually call him Tianqi; instead, he responded respectfully: "Fourth Young Master, may I ask what you need"

"Brother Chu, we haven't had a gathering in a long time. I wish to catch up with you," Su Tianqi said insincerely. He hadn’t missed a gathering with Chu Maotao; they’d never gathered in the first place, so he didn’t feel embarrassed saying this.

"What does Fourth Young Master mean" Chu Maotao asked試探性地問道，而蘇天琦則清晰地聽出了這種試探的意味。修改為：Chu Maotao asked tentatively, and Su Tianqi clearly heard the probing tone in his voice.

"If Brother Chu is free tomorrow evening, I’ll be waiting for you at the Starry Sky suite of the Heaven Palace International Club."

Su Tianqi smiled as he said this and then hung up.

Chu Maotao on the other end of the phone also revealed a faint smile that seemed to hold hidden meanings. cold platter into a bowl, then mixed it thoroughly with the noodles before starting to slurp them down like he hadn’t eaten for days. The sight made even Lewandowski's heart move slightly—was it real...
