"I already looked into it before; he's nothing more than a villager from Xinghua Village. And by some stroke of dumb luck, he's developed some industries this past year and now has a modest sum of money. Is someone like that worth opposing my Qi Hai Investments and your Su Family?"
Right now, Chen Qi was playing the emotion card. He didn't want to clash head-on with the Su Family, even though he could join forces with those families who had long disapproved of the Su Family to target them. But Pengcheng was relatively stable at the moment, and Chen Qi was reluctant to upset that balance without good cause.
Because once someone acted and that balance was broken, there would definitely be those who rejoice and those who mourn. No one can guarantee they would ultimately come out on top. Under these circumstances, most people still prefer the status quo.
