"Is that so?" Zhang Zhonghai remarked with a meaningful tone: "It seems you need to apologize to Lord Chu."
"Why not let me personally take you there?"
Zheng Lin couldn't decipher Zhang Zhonghai's intention, but the idea of apologizing was irrefutable.
He originally wanted to climb higher, leveraging the Qi family's power. Now, caught in such a minor matter, he's become a discard of the Qi family, regretting his initial ambitions.
The bit of motivation that he had painstakingly cultivated vanished completely.
"Very well, I will go at once." Zheng Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead, ignoring the disdain in Zhang Zhonghai's eyes.
He knew well that, this time, the question wasn't about a promotion, but whether he could even keep his position.

When Chu Heng interrogated a woman and learned that the scheme came from the Qi family, he couldn't find solid evidence and could only implicate some people who assisted in the matter.
