Chapter 451: It’s Completely Plagiarized!

After advising the Zhou family, Shen Fei finally began to get busy.

Regarding the acquisition of Jiexing Media, he entrusted Duan Guxiang, Jiang Tiancheng, and Hu Yuantai to handle it fully. Although Shen Fei only wanted to act as a hands-off leader, when he learned that XY Company, established specifically for the development of the “Misu” chip, was about to be officially founded, he drove to the company’s new address.

The company was set up in a building opposite the Shenzhen Research Institute. There was no high-profile opening ceremony, nor was there any lively gathering of friends and associates. When XY Company officially launched, Shen Fei, as the chairman, simply attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony before the company began operations.

At Hu Fei’er’s special invitation, Shen Fei briefly held a small meeting.

No one could have predicted that the turning point in China’s chip technology field began quietly with the establishment of XY Company. After this, China would no longer be threatened by foreign technology companies and would reverse its previous disadvantageous position.

After attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Shen Fei directly invested 5 billion yuan into the first phase of the “Misu” chip development.

While XY Company focused on chip research, the acquisition team led by Jiang Tiancheng began their work at Jiexing Media. After a series of assessments and negotiations, they held eight discussions over two days regarding the acquisition pricing. The acquisition process was swift, and the deal was concluded.

News of Shen Fei’s successful acquisition of Jiexing Media spread but did not attract much attention from netizens. The main reason was that Shen Fei’s previous moves had already been too high-profile—spending billions to acquire ownership of Luohu Mountain, and buying a bankrupt company for hundreds of millions. Such news had become unremarkable to the public.

At the same time, netizens began eagerly anticipating Tencent’s new mobile game “Tianxia”. Today marked the seventh day since the release of its trailer and the official launch day of the game.

At 9:30 PM, Tencent officially released “Tianxia” on all major app stores. The news triggered a rush of netizens to the software markets, and even those who usually didn’t play mobile games joined in.

Within moments, the download numbers for “Tianxia” skyrocketed. Some app stores even experienced temporary system crashes at 9:30 PM.

In just 30 minutes, “Tianxia” had garnered over a million downloads, breaking a historic record.

Inside Tencent’s Gaming Department

“Director Cai, the download numbers for ‘Tianxia’ are impressive so far!” one of Cai Ming’s trusted assistants remarked as he entered Cai Ming’s office.

Hearing this, Cai Ming, who had been gazing out the window at the city lights, visibly shivered. His expression showed no joy or excitement; this result was something he had already anticipated. After all, “Tianxia” had generated enormous hype from its trailer alone.

“What are the users saying about the game so far?” Cai Ming asked in a low voice, taking a deep breath. His anxiety about the future of “Tianxia” only grew. After all, the game was essentially developed by copying “Tianjue”.

“Director Cai, user feedback takes time. But even so, we have to suspect that ‘Tianjue’ will send fake reviewers to slander us,” the assistant replied confidently.

“Slander? Hah, they won’t even need to hire fake reviewers!” Cai Ming sneered.

Hearing this, the assistant fell silent. Over the past few days, the debate over whether “Tianxia” should be launched had sparked numerous meetings within the company. A majority of the votes were against its release, reflecting the deep shame many felt about the game’s plagiarism of “Tianjue”.

However, what the staff thought didn’t matter to Tencent. With Director Pan Shi’s insistence, “Tianxia” was forced to launch.

“From now on, don’t report download numbers to me. I want to know user feedback and retention rates—those are the key metrics!” Cai Ming said with a frown.

“Understood, Director Cai!”

The assistant left quickly, sensing Cai Ming’s irritation. Moments later, the office door opened again.

“Director Cai, ‘Tianxia’ has been downloaded nearly a million times in just half an hour! Shouldn’t you be happy about that? Why the long face?” Pan Shi said with confusion, observing Cai Ming’s expression.

Hearing Pan Shi’s voice, Cai Ming immediately looked up and stood. “Director Pan!”

“Cai, what’s the problem?” Pan Shi asked sternly.

“Director Pan, I’m genuinely worried that public opinion will crush us over this game!” Cai Ming said with a heavy heart.

“If they refused our acquisition offer, we had no choice but to push ‘Tianxia’ to the market!” Pan Shi replied firmly.

Cai Ming felt even colder hearing this. It was true—given “Tianjue”’s enormous success, Tencent couldn’t just sit by and let their market share be taken.

Unlike Pan Shi, who remained unaffected by public opinion, Cai Ming’s position as the gaming department head made him the target for any backlash. If something went wrong, he would be the scapegoat.

“Director Cai, I understand your concerns. But think about it—Tencent has faced public criticism every time we’ve launched a game. So what? Once we dominate the market, everything turns in our favor. Look at our previous games; didn’t they all face backlash at first? In the end, we not only succeeded but also expanded our user base!”

Pan Shi continued, “Relax! We won’t lose to ‘Tianjue’! Tencent’s position as the king of the gaming world will only grow stronger. The Chinese gaming industry is still ours!”

“But Director Pan, let’s be honest here—’Tianxia’ is a blatant copy of ‘Tianjue’!” Cai Ming smiled bitterly.

“Come on, it’s not copying; it’s ‘referencing’ their design! President Ma already approved this. What are you afraid of?” Pan Shi replied dismissively.

Cai Ming’s brows furrowed. President Ma may have approved it, but if problems arose, Cai Ming would be the one sacrificed—not Pan Shi or President Ma.

—————- END —————-

Chapter 452: I Might As Well Just Give It to You!

“Director Pan, I’m not trying to be pessimistic here, but if Tianjue really sues us, I don’t have any confidence in winning. Even our legal department… I can’t say for sure that they’ll win,” Cai Ming said worriedly.

“Whether you have confidence or not doesn’t matter, as long as the legal department believes we can win!” Pan Shi’s tone grew impatient with Cai Ming’s hesitance.

“Director Pan, don’t blame me for being overly cautious! If our legal team really can’t beat them, what kind of situation will we be facing then?”

Seeing Pan Shi’s annoyance, Cai Ming raised his head and looked directly at him with a serious expression.

Pan Shi was momentarily flustered by Cai Ming’s question, his confidence wavering.

Tencent’s legal department had a stellar reputation domestically, boasting a 95% success rate in lawsuits. However, if Tianjue won the case, the fallout would be catastrophic. The global spotlight would fall squarely on Tencent. If PR efforts failed to contain the backlash, the only option would be to throw Cai Ming, the head of the gaming department, under the bus as a scapegoat.

Pan Shi didn’t dare say this outright. After a moment of hesitation, he maintained his composure and said, “Regardless, you need to trust our legal department! They’re not amateurs!”

“Got it.”

Hearing this, Cai Ming finally understood Pan Shi’s stance. A bitter smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

The consequences were clear to both of them. Yet Pan Shi sidestepped the topic or offered evasive answers. What more could Cai Ming say?

“Alright, let’s drop this for now! Overthinking won’t solve anything. Instead, why don’t you focus on optimizing Tianxia? The sooner it’s refined, the better chance we have in court. By then, you’ll just need to wait for your share of the profits!” Pan Shi said firmly.

Cai Ming’s heart grew heavier. A better chance of winning? If he were truly capable, the launch of Tianxia wouldn’t have caused him so much anxiety in the first place.

Meanwhile, at Yunhe Villa.

Han Xinyan had taken Shen Jiayue back to her room, while Shen Fei lounged on the sofa, his eyes glued to the news playing on the screen.

Despite his apparent distraction, Shen Fei’s attention was entirely focused on Tencent’s Tianxia mobile game. The moment he heard it had launched, he immediately began downloading it.

Halfway through the download, his phone rang.

To his surprise, it wasn’t Ji Jiaming calling, but Lin Tianzhen, the current head of Xin Yue Group’s PR department.

“Minister Lin.”

“President Shen, do you know that Tencent has launched Tianxia at this time?” Lin Tianzhen got straight to the point.

“Yeah, I know. And?”

“President Shen, I’ve noticed online that most discussions accuse Tianxia of plagiarizing Tianjue. So as soon as I heard about the launch, I downloaded it and gave it a try! Honestly, Tencent has some nerve—there’s no doubt they’re blatantly copying Tianjue! This isn’t borrowing inspiration; it’s straight-up plagiarism!” Lin Tianzhen said indignantly.

“Of course, I already know that,” Shen Fei replied calmly.

Lin Tianzhen was taken aback by Shen Fei’s nonchalant reaction but didn’t pursue it. Instead, she proactively offered a solution. “President Shen, should our PR department take action?”

To her surprise, Shen Fei shook his head.

“No need. Everyone can clearly see what kind of game this is.”

“Besides, Tencent has faced countless online attacks over the years and has only grown stronger. Their dominance in the gaming industry hasn’t been shaken, so public opinion doesn’t seem to affect them much.”

Lin Tianzhen was confused. “President Shen, so what should we do? Just let it go?”

“Minister Lin, you don’t need to worry about this for now. I’ll handle it. When the time comes for you to act, I’ll let you know,” Shen Fei said firmly.

Hearing Shen Fei’s reasoning and seeing that his words made sense, Lin Tianzhen suppressed her frustration.

“Alright, President Shen. By the way, I want to reaffirm my loyalty. Ever since you hired me and entrusted me with the PR department—giving me such a high salary—I swore to follow you wholeheartedly! So whether it’s for Xin Yue Group or any other business under your name, I’ll give it my all!”

Shen Fei smiled at her loyalty. “Got it, Minister Lin. I’ll keep that in mind.”

After a bit more small talk, they hung up.

The phone calls didn’t stop there. Ji Jiaming, Hu Yuantai, Jiang Tiancheng, Duan Guxiang, and even Zhou Zhengji and Jin Liyao all called, one after another.

For three consecutive hours, Shen Fei’s phone never stopped ringing. All of them were worried that Shen Fei might be intimidated by Tencent’s actions.

It wasn’t until Shen Fei reassured them of his confidence that they finally backed off.

Once the calls subsided, Shen Fei completed the download for Tianxia and gave it a test run. After playing for half an hour, he sighed helplessly.

Tencent really had no shame.

He could ignore other games, plagiarized or not, but Tianxia was practically identical to Tianjue. Some scenes were an exact copy!

“Tch, Tencent, you’re really pushing it this time. Do you really think everyone’s afraid of you?” Shen Fei sneered, closing the game.

He opened Weibo and, as expected, Tianxia and Tencent were trending topics:

Tianxia plagiarism

Tencent has no shame

Tianxia launch

The comment sections were filled with criticism of Tencent.

“Tencent, if you don’t need your face anymore, just toss it out already! Oh wait, you never had any.”

“I’m with Shen Fei on this one. Even though I’m not his biggest fan, Tianxia is clearly plagiarizing Tianjue. As a loyal Tianjue player, I’m boycotting Tencent’s game!”

“Impressive, Tencent. Why not just steal Tianjue outright? You even threw in a knockoff game for free.”

Smirking at the chaos, Shen Fei posted a Weibo update:

“@Tencent Game Department, isn’t this a bit much? If you want to steal it, just do it directly. Why bother creating a knockoff? I might as well just give it to you! Right? [dog head emoji] @Zhushi Administration Center, is this even legal?”

The post immediately ignited the internet, drawing waves of furious comments.

Adding fuel to the fire, Zhang Sicong, the eldest son of a prominent real estate tycoon, reposted Shen Fei’s Weibo with two simple words:

“Crush them!”

This single act sent the topic skyrocketing in popularity.

—————- END —————-

Chapter 453: I’ll Give You Two Weeks!

“This… this… Director Zhang has publicly come out to support Shen Fei. Now this is going to be interesting!”

“If you ask me, Tencent Company really went too far this time! This is blatant plagiarism!”

“Hahaha, Director Zhang is really a 5G net surfer, keeping up with all the trending topics! Incredible!”

“I want to see how Tencent Company will respond! Such shameless behavior—anyone would be angry seeing this!”

“Relax, everyone! Look at Tencent Company’s history—they’ve pulled stunts like this before and still won every time. Isn’t that right? @Zhushi Central Court”

“…”

Zhang Sichong’s involvement further increased the heat around Tencent Company and the mobile game Tianxia. It took the controversy to another level but also shifted some public focus, relieving a bit of the criticism Tencent Company was facing.

Of course, Zhang Sichong couldn’t have foreseen this shift.

Shen Fei himself was caught off guard by Zhang Sichong’s unexpected support. Although surprised, he didn’t reach out to Zhang Sichong, nor did he initiate any communication.

After posting his Weibo update and checking the trending reactions, Shen Fei put his phone aside and closed his eyes to rest. But just then, his phone rang again, making him inexplicably irritable.

However, upon seeing that the caller was Liang Shuang, his annoyance disappeared instantly.

“Lawyer Liang, still awake at this hour?”

“President Shen, I was asleep, but apparently tonight was destined to be a sleepless night! The firm’s director woke me up as soon as he saw this trending topic!” Liang Shuang said with a laugh.

“So, your director woke you because Tencent Company launched Tianxia?” Shen Fei wasn’t surprised at all.

“Yes! President Shen, is Tencent Company’s Tianxia truly a blatant knockoff of Tianjue, under your Longguang Media?”

Liang Shuang got straight to the point, rubbing her sleepy eyes as she sat up in bed wearing a lace camisole. She took a deep breath, glanced out the window, and turned on her computer, logging into Weibo.

“Yes! Calling it a knockoff is putting it lightly—let’s be clear, it’s plagiarism! About 98% of the content is identical! I originally planned to speak with you and your firm tomorrow, but since you’ve called, let’s discuss it now,” Shen Fei said with a frown before continuing, “Lawyer Liang, isn’t Yunhe Law Firm looking for an opportunity to make a name for itself in Shenzhen and across China? This is your chance. If I hand this case to you, do you have the confidence to take on Tencent Company?”

Surprisingly, Liang Shuang didn’t answer directly. Instead, she said with some shock, “President Shen, you’re saying 98% of Tianxia is identical to Tianjue?”

If that were true, they would have overwhelming confidence in defeating Tencent Company. Winning the lawsuit would not only make her famous but also give Yunhe Law Firm an opportunity to rise to prominence.

“Yes, I’m confident about this! I’ve played both games,” Shen Fei responded calmly.

“President Shen, you’re really willing to give Yunhe Law Firm this opportunity and let me take over?” Liang Shuang asked, her tone laced with excitement and disbelief.

“Yes, I’ll give you this chance. But what outcome can you guarantee me?” Shen Fei asked with a faint smile.

Liang Shuang fell silent.

At that moment, she couldn’t give Shen Fei a firm answer. After all, she hadn’t yet analyzed or played either Tianjue or Tianxia. Claiming confidence now would not only be deceptive but also irresponsible.

After a long pause, Liang Shuang finally said, “President Shen, I haven’t played Tianjue or Tianxia yet, so I can’t promise anything. But trust me and trust Yunhe Law Firm—if Tianxia really plagiarized Tianjue to this extent, I’ll give you my word: we will win this case! If, under those conditions, we still lose, then Yunhe Law Firm and I will work for you for free for life!”

Worried Shen Fei might not trust her, Liang Shuang added earnestly, “President Shen, have faith in us. Even if Tencent Company is a long-time victor, as long as you believe in me, I’ll do everything in my power to win this lawsuit!”

Hearing this, Shen Fei smiled and asked, “By the way, how’s the lawsuit with Yuefu Xinmao progressing?”

Liang Shuang paused, slightly caught off guard, before replying, “President Shen, that case is far too minor. After we gathered the evidence, we passed it on to other lawyers at the firm. Honestly, even someone unfamiliar with the law could win it! In a few days, we’ll receive the official ruling—our victory is guaranteed. Plus, we plan to sue them for defamation.”

“Good,” Shen Fei responded flatly, then continued, “In that case, you can start preparing to take on Tencent Company. I’ll have Longguang Media contact you soon. If you need any materials, communicate directly with their representatives.”

He paused before instructing, “Don’t rush this case—let Tencent Company think we’re afraid, even if it means they grow bolder. But behind the scenes, move quickly. Once we’re fully prepared, we’ll strike. I want them completely defeated without any chance of retaliation!”

Hearing Shen Fei’s strategy, Liang Shuang was filled with excitement. “Understood, President Shen! Thank you!”

“Don’t thank me. You’re working for me, after all. But let me be clear—I want you to win, but I can handle a loss. If we fail, it’s not me who suffers the most, but the countless efforts that went into Tianjue,” Shen Fei said bluntly.

“President Shen, I understand. This is a major case, and we’ll handle it with the utmost care. In two weeks—within two weeks—I’ll give you a definitive answer. If we’re not confident, I’ll withdraw on my own,” Liang Shuang promised.

“Good! Then I’ll give you two weeks,” Shen Fei agreed.

“Thank you, President Shen! I don’t know why you trust me and Yunhe Law Firm so much, but no matter the reason, I, Liang Shuang, will give it my all!” she declared with determination.

—————- END —————-

Chapter 454: Laying It All Out!

After finishing his conversation with Liang Jing, Shen Fei no longer put much thought into the “Tianxia” mobile game or Tencent Company.

He had already anticipated how these events would unfold.

Having lived this life once before, the trajectory hadn’t changed much.

At 2 a.m., Shen Fei finished washing up and went to bed.

It was a sleepless night.

The next day, the headlines and trending topics about Tencent Company and the “Tianxia” game plagiarizing Tianjue had already begun to fade.

Once again, people witnessed the power of capital.

However, because Shen Fei had developed a reputation as a wealthy businessman, many netizens eagerly awaited his next move.

Yet, after Shen Fei’s Weibo post tagging Tencent’s game division, there had been no further updates, leaving many disappointed.

Even so, despite the removal of certain trending terms, the comment sections were still filled with criticism toward Tencent Company for its shameless actions.

Refusing to accept such backlash, Tencent hired a large number of bots, subtly shifting the online narrative.

The way things were progressing seemed eerily similar to how Tencent had handled situations in the past.

Their arrogance made it seem as if Tianjue had copied Tianxia, rather than the other way around.

—

At Longguang Media, in the CEO’s office…

“Ji, listen to me—since Tianxia launched, the player count for Tianjue has dropped by 30%! And it’s obvious where those players have gone—they’ve all flocked to Tianxia! Among the 30%, over 60% registered for Tianjue and then immediately switched to Tianxia!”

The speaker was Feng Gong, a member of the Tianjue founding team.

He was well aware of last night’s events, but his heart was filled with worry and frustration.

Pausing for a moment, before Ji Jiaming could respond, Feng Gong continued,

“This is the most crucial period for attracting players to our mobile game, yet Tencent Company blatantly copied us and launched a near-identical game! Their attitude makes it seem like Tianjue was just paving the way for Tianxia to swoop in and reap the benefits. Who can tolerate that?”

“Sigh… I really didn’t expect Tencent to be this shameless. They have absolutely no bottom line!” Ji Jiaming furrowed his brow, visibly distressed.

Before Tianjue launched, he had confidently assured Shen Fei that even if Tencent tried to copy them, they would never succeed—and they would lose any lawsuit.

But now that it had come to this, Ji Jiaming realized it wasn’t going to be so simple.

Tencent Company was a giant, with a long-established dominance in the gaming industry. How could they not have considered the issues Ji Jiaming had anticipated? Their blatant copying showed they weren’t the least bit afraid of legal action.

“Ji, the problem now is: we know how shameless Tencent can be, but how are we going to respond? Sure, they’re being mocked online, but this isn’t their first time doing something like this—they always walk away unscathed. I’m worried that all our hard work will end up benefiting them instead!” Feng Gong said, agitatedly running a hand through his hair.

“Sigh… Do you think I haven’t considered this? The key issue is that Shen always remains silent. If you ask me how to handle this, I can only say we should sue them. But if we sue, it’ll make our conflict with Tencent official. Winning is fine—but if we lose, then Tianjue really will become their stepping stone.” Ji Jiaming sighed deeply.

“What is Shen Fei even thinking? This situation is so critical—shouldn’t we have figured out a response already?” Feng Gong asked.

“I… I don’t know,” Ji Jiaming hesitated before finally picking up his phone. After staring at Shen Fei’s number for a moment, he made up his mind.

“Alright, I’ll call Shen and see what he says. Don’t worry.”

With that, Ji Jiaming dialed Shen Fei.

—

At that moment, Shen Fei had just pushed open the door to Han Xinyan’s office.

Hearing Shen Fei’s phone ring, Han Xinyan swallowed the words she’d been about to say.

“Jiaming, what’s going on?” Shen Fei asked calmly, giving Han Xinyan a reassuring glance.

“Shen, Tianxia has been causing a chain reaction of negative effects on our game since its launch last night. According to the latest data, Tianjue has already lost nearly 30% of its player base. At this rate, they’ll take over all our market share! Shen, what should we do?” Ji Jiaming asked with a wry smile.

“Ah, I see. It’s nothing to worry about. Tencent has been a dominant player in the gaming industry for a long time. Don’t let it bother you. Sooner or later, they’ll have to give back the market share they’ve stolen. In fact, their success will bring even more attention to Tianjue. With their reputation and influence, they’ll essentially be promoting our game for us. When the time comes, we won’t even need to spend on marketing—we’ll attract plenty of players naturally.” Shen Fei said indifferently.

Ji Jiaming was stunned, despite already being mentally prepared.

Wait… Shen Fei was saying Tianjue would actually benefit from Tencent’s success?

Was that even possible?

Sure, Tianjue might survive Tencent’s pressure—but to rely on Tencent to promote their game? That sounded ridiculous…

No, wait! It could happen—if they sued Tencent and won the case. In that scenario, Tianjue would gain immense popularity.

But with Tencent’s powerful stance, it was clear they were fully prepared for a fight. Beating them wouldn’t be easy.

“Shen, I trust you—but can you give me some reassurance? I need to know what to prepare for,” Ji Jiaming said quickly, glancing at Feng Gong.

“Fine, I’ll lay it out for you. I’ve already arranged for a team of lawyers. We’ll file a lawsuit against them. In the meantime, just provide whatever materials they need,” Shen Fei said calmly.

Hearing the confidence in Shen Fei’s voice, Ji Jiaming suddenly felt a lot more at ease.

Everyone knew about Tencent’s reputation—they had no shame and no bottom line.

But if Shen Fei had made arrangements, it meant he was confident.

“Shen, having a professional legal team gives us confidence! Can I ask which firm it is?” Ji Jiaming inquired curiously.

“Yunhe Law Firm,” Shen Fei replied firmly.

The moment he said that, both Ji Jiaming and Feng Gong froze.

They exchanged glances—neither had ever heard of this law firm before.

As Feng Gong recovered, he quickly pulled out his phone to search for it.

—————- END —————-

Chapter 455: Letting the Firm Practice?

“Ji… I found it…”

Seeing Ji Jiaming hang up the phone, Feng Gong quickly spoke.

However, the information he found about Yunhe Law Firm wasn’t exactly what they had hoped for.

Hearing this, Ji Jiaming turned his attention to the screen, and upon seeing the introduction, his face darkened further.

This was the Yunhe Law Firm that Shen Fei mentioned?

A firm that had only been established for two years?

Its major shareholder was just 35 years old.

As for the other members, they were all around 30.

This made the firm look extremely young.

If that was all, they might not have been so disappointed.

What was most unacceptable was that in the two years since Yunhe’s establishment, it had only taken on small cases—there wasn’t even one that was noteworthy or impressive.

Simply put, this law firm was unremarkable. It hadn’t made a splash in the legal industry in China, not even a ripple.

It was the kind of small firm you could see and forget instantly.

Yet Shen Fei had said he wanted to entrust such a major case against Tencent Corporation to this firm.

Tsk!

Ji Jiaming felt a mix of emotions, but mostly anger.

He didn’t know whether Shen Fei really valued Tianjue or not.

But Tencent Corporation’s legal department had a reputation for being invincible in Zhu City; their legal team’s prowess was well known.

Facing such a strong opponent, even hiring top lawyers in the country wouldn’t guarantee success. Yet Shen Fei had handed this case to a small firm?

What was he thinking? Ji Jiaming couldn’t understand it at all.

“Search again. Maybe it’s just a name coincidence?”

Taking a deep breath, Ji Jiaming’s voice trembled slightly.

Based on Shen Fei’s previous actions, he wanted to believe that Shen Fei genuinely cared about Tianjue. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have invested so heavily to develop both a PC version and a mobile version to pave the way.

“Alright! I’ll search again!”

Hearing this, Feng Gong lowered his head and began inputting all possible combinations of yunhe into the search bar.

After several searches, the results were either non-existent or pointed back to the same Yunhe Law Firm.

Gradually, they began to accept that the Yunhe Law Firm Shen Fei mentioned was indeed the one they had found.

“Ji, let’s be real—if Yunhe is really the firm Shen Fei meant, doesn’t this show he’s underestimating us? This is Tencent Corporation we’re talking about! Their legal department has resolved so many similar cases with ease. Even top-tier lawyers lack confidence going up against them. How can such a small firm possibly win?”

Feng Gong looked at the firm’s underwhelming introduction on the screen, his face full of concern.

“To be honest… I don’t understand it either.” Ji Jiaming smiled bitterly.

“Doesn’t Shen Fei realize the consequences? If we really lose to Tencent…”

Feng Gong frowned, looking at Ji Jiaming.

“Regardless, it seems Shen Fei has already made up his mind!” Ji Jiaming sighed.

Since learning about the firm, his brows hadn’t relaxed once.

“Tsk, I’m starting to think Shen Fei is using this case as practice for the firm. It’s Tencent Corporation, for crying out loud! Even top-tier lawyers aren’t confident—how can a small firm possibly be?” Feng Gong lamented.

Ji Jiaming fell silent.

Although he hadn’t worked with Shen Fei for long, he knew that once Shen Fei made a decision, it was final.

Convincing him to switch law firms? Practically impossible.

Using the case as practice?

He couldn’t say for sure. But he couldn’t believe Shen Fei would be so careless.

After all, Shen Fei had recently reassured them to focus on developing Tianjue’s PC version.

Despite this, Ji Jiaming still couldn’t make sense of Shen Fei’s plan.

Even after racking his brain for clues, he was at a loss.

—

In the general manager’s office of Xinyue Group.

After overhearing Shen Fei’s conversation with Longguang Media, Han Xinyan immediately asked, “Shen Fei, are you seriously giving the plagiarism lawsuit against Tencent to Yunhe Law Firm?”

“Yes. I’ve already spoken with them. Liang Jing said she needs two weeks to gather all the necessary materials. If she’s confident after that, she’ll file the lawsuit and take them to court. If not, they’ll voluntarily drop the case,” Shen Fei explained casually.

“Wait… lawsuits always have a 50-50 chance, don’t they? But aren’t you trusting them a little too much? Tencent’s legal department isn’t some small-time operation. They have numerous big names from the legal industry working for them. This Yunhe firm… they’re just a small company. What if they lose?” Han Xinyan asked worriedly.

“I already thought about that. I’ll just say this—everything is under my control. No matter how ridiculous I may seem, I’m always rational when it comes to important matters. Trust me, Yunhe Law Firm can handle this,” Shen Fei said with a smile.

“You’re really that confident in Yunhe?”

Han Xinyan was surprised. As far as she knew, Shen Fei had only met the firm’s representatives a month ago.

“Yes! Rather than saying I trust Yunhe, it’s better to say I trust Tianjue. Under my watch, Tianjue will never become a substitute for Tianxia,” Shen Fei said firmly.

“You’re that certain?” Han Xinyan asked, still puzzled by Shen Fei’s confidence.

“Absolutely!”

After a brief pause, Shen Fei declared, “In my business blueprint, this game holds even more weight than the Yueshin series!”

Hearing this, Han Xinyan, though full of doubts, still nodded resolutely.

No matter what, she would stand by Shen Fei.

“I believe in you, Shen Fei!”

Han Xinyan fixed her gaze on him, then changed the subject.

“That’s not what I wanted to ask you about, though. Did you know that after your Weibo post, the young master of Yida Group also posted in support of you? When did you meet Zhang Sicong?”

“Zhang Sicong?” Shen Fei smirked.

“Never met him. Don’t know him.”

“Really? Then why would he suddenly take our side?” Han Xinyan asked, even more confused.

“Maybe he wasn’t thinking clearly. Who knows? He’s done plenty of outrageous things before,” Shen Fei shrugged nonchalantly.

“Have you thought about interacting with him? He’s a notable figure in Beijing with considerable connections…”

Before she could finish, her words were interrupted by a ringtone.

Shen Fei sighed and took out his phone.

The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number with seven repeated eights after the area code.
