Livestream Conflict-solver: The Whole Internet Begs Me for Justice!

190: Find some time to be honestThe inner hall of Dexintang.

Unlike the noise and extravagance of the outer reception area, those seated here were exclusively core members of the Liu Family, or true magnates who had decades of friendship with the Liu Family and held pivotal statuses.

The air was filled with the fragrance of premium Longjing tea and the mellow aroma of aged Maotai liquor.

When Liu Zhenyun led Zhang Ze inside, every pair of eyes in the inner hall turned toward them simultaneously.

”Come, Little Zhang, sit here next to me.”

Liu Zhenyun pointed to the seat beside him—a spot originally reserved only for the Liu Family’s eldest legitimate grandson.

Third Uncle Liu Jianguo cast a look of approval toward Zhang Ze, his face full of smiles.

In the corner, the faces of Liu Jianjun and Liu Ming were unpleasant, but they could only accept the situation.

They could only watch as Zhang Ze, under the gaze of all the core elders, calmly took his seat.

”Today certainly gave us a huge surprise.”

An old man with white hair but robust energy, who wore the stars of a general on his shoulders, spoke first.

”Indeed, Old Master, which family does this young talent belong to? I’ve never heard you mention him before.”

Another business magnate laughed and seconded the motion.

Liu Zhenyun picked up his teacup, gently blew away the foam, but did not answer immediately.

He left the stage to Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze knew this was the final, and most crucial, test.

He stood up and raised the glass of clear liquor that had been poured on the table, the transparent liquid gently swirling in the crystal cup.

”Greetings to all uncles, elders, and seniors.”

”My name is Zhang Ze. I have no illustrious family background, nor am I some scion of a powerful clan.”

He began with a humble remark, then changed the subject.

”I am simply a man who loves Feifei, and who has the ability to protect her and ensure her happiness for the rest of her life.”

Liu Feifei sat nearby, her beautiful eyes fixed on him, the brilliance in her gaze outshining all the crystal chandeliers in the hall.

”Who are you trying to fool! A fraud...”

”Shut up!”

Liu Jianjun reprimanded his son in a low voice.

Zhang Ze walked up to Liu Zhenyun and bowed slightly.

”Grandpa.”

This address of ”Grandpa” was utterly natural, intimate, and sincere.

The smile on Liu Zhenyun’s face bloomed completely.

”I toast you with this first cup of wine.”

”I toast your lifelong dedication to this country and to this family.”

”And I toast you for raising Feifei to be so outstanding.”

”Most of all, I toast you for being willing to give a chance to a young man like me, who has nothing.”

After speaking, he drained the cup in one swift, clean motion.

”Good!”

The military magnate suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted his praise.

”Well said! Neither subservient nor arrogant, full of feeling and righteousness! Old Leader, I accept this grandson-in-law of yours!”

”Hahaha!”

Liu Zhenyun burst into hearty laughter. He stood up and personally poured another glass of wine for Zhang Ze.

”Little Zhang, you said one thing incorrectly just now.”

The Old Master looked at him, his eyes filled with appreciation and approval.

”You do not have nothing.”

”You have responsibility, capability, and, most importantly, this sincere heart. These things are more important than any powerful family background.”

”Feifei has a stubborn nature and suffered too much hardship when she was young. With you protecting her from now on, I can rest assured.”

The banquet drew to a close in an atmosphere that was both joyful and subtly turbulent.

Zhang Ze’s performance was impeccable.

Whether he was discussing the international situation with military leaders or talking about economic trends with business titans, his answers were fluent and often contained surprising insights, causing the elders to nod repeatedly...

It was late.

The guests had all departed.

Zhang Ze supported Liu Feifei, who had drunk quite a bit of wine, and returned to the pink princess room.

The moment the door closed, Liu Feifei could no longer support herself and collapsed into Zhang Ze’s arms.

But she wasn’t collapsing from drunkenness; it was from excitement and joy.

She tilted her head back, her moist eyes gazing at him lovingly, her arms tightly wrapped around his neck.

”Zhang Ze, thank you.”

”Silly girl, why are you being so polite with me?”

Zhang Ze playfully rubbed her nose and lowered his head to kiss her.

This kiss lacked the wildness and probing of the night before; it was full of warmth and lingering affection.

After a long time, their lips parted...

The week following the birthday banquet was calm in Yanjing.

However, for certain circles, it felt as if they had just experienced a tsunami.

At the Liu Family Old Master’s eightieth birthday, an unknown young man suddenly appeared, not only becoming the boyfriend of the Liu Family’s precious daughter, Liu Feifei, but also being personally led into the inner hall by Old Master Liu Zhenyun to converse cheerfully with military, political, and business magnates.

This man named Zhang Ze instantly became the most mysterious and sought-after topic in Yanjing’s upper circles overnight.

Countless people tried to investigate his background, but all came up empty-handed.

He was like a comet that appeared out of nowhere—dazzling, yet untraceable.

As for the ”comet” himself, life seemed to have returned to its normal track.

During the day, he was the hands-off boss on the 66th floor of Global Tower who only occasionally showed his face.

He spent his time doing livestreams to help people.

At night, he gained another identity—Liu Feifei’s exclusive body pillow.

That night, Zhang Ze had just finished showering. He walked out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist, drying his hair.

In the pink princess room, Liu Feifei was sitting at the dressing table, wearing his white shirt and blowing her hair dry.

The oversized shirt barely covered the tops of her thighs, leaving two straight, slender, jade-like legs swinging in the air, dazzlingly white.

Hearing the movement, she glanced at him through the mirror, her cheeks slightly flushed.

”What are you looking at?”

”Looking at my wife.” Zhang Ze walked over and naturally took the hairdryer from her hand. ”I’ll do it.”

The warm breeze fluttered her dark hair, and a faint, sweet fragrance entered his nostrils.

Liu Feifei enjoyed his service, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curving upward.

”Don’t... don’t call me that casually.”

Her voice was soft and laced with shyness, but it held no power of refusal.

”How is it casual?” Zhang Ze turned off the hairdryer, wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and looked at their reflections in the mirror.

”The Old Master has recognized me, and the uncles and elders have all met me. Are you trying to go back on your word now?”

”Who’s going back on their word!” Liu Feifei’s ear tickled from his warm breath, and half her body went soft. ”You... you haven’t resolved things with Sera yet.”

At the mention of that name, the atmosphere in the room subtly shifted.

Zhang Ze became serious.

He hadn’t stopped thinking about it all week; he just didn’t know how to bring it up.

Sera had been too good to him, so good that he couldn’t find an appropriate time to say the cruel thing.

[Putting it off is not a solution.]

[I must find a chance to be honest with Sera.]

As he was thinking, a black phone resting on the bedside table suddenly lit up.

That was not the phone he usually used.

It was a customized device with no logo and a plain appearance, yet it embedded the highest level of confidential communication protocol.

On the screen, there was only one message.

[Tonight, nine o’clock, Houhai, Yinding Bridge, Teahouse #1, Character A.]

There was no sender, no signature.

Only the time and location.

It came.

Only one person knew this number.

And only one person had the authority to contact him directly in this manner.

His ”Sole Superior.”

”Dragon Raises Head”
