Wrong?
Hu Changle froze.
He believed he had considered every possible issue as thoroughly as he could.
Were there still omissions?

Hu Changle was stunned.
"Big Brother, you mean?"

"Back then, the Geng Family joined forces with the Li Family against our Hu Family because our incense sandalwood business conflicted with theirs."
"Now, for the sake of you two reaching Foundation Establishment, I have cut off the incense sandalwood business myself. The Geng Family and I no longer have any conflict."

Hu Changle furrowed his brow, carefully pondering the meaning behind those words.
The distant worry surely
