Qi Jiu was displeased at once: "Wait a minute, what do you mean, you look down on me? Whatever happens with my family, it's my family's business. Whatever I want to do, they can't interfere. Even if you don't want to use the Qi Family's influence, I, Qi Jiu, haven't been idling these years. My influence in the military may be weaker than yours, but it's not that I have none at all. Kang Chen, I've told you, no matter what you do, I'm definitely jumping into this muddy water."
Kang Chen looked soberly at Qi Jiu: "Qi Jiu, are you sure? I'm telling you, if you jump in, there's no way back up. If I fail, you will face the same fate as me—death. None of us would be able to get out of this muddy water."
Qi Jiu lifted his chin: "Then death be it, what's there to be afraid of? As a man, I fear nothing. Besides, your wife is pregnant, for her sake, you wouldn't die."
