A graceful figure slowly ascended the stage.
The rivalry between Yuanzhan Capital and the Plum Blossom Group had already escalated into a business war, one where one side was destined to fall.
With Ye Lin imprisoned, the Plum Blossom Group had to find a new helmsman. Currently, the president of the Plum Blossom Group was Ye Weizhu.
"Ye Weizhu, this is truly interesting. Ye Weizhu, I remember Ye Weizhu was not acknowledged by the Ye family back then. I never expected her to be sent to manage the Plum Blossom Group now. Clearly, she has been accepted by the Ye family."
Mu Hanqi pursed her lips, "She's just a bastard daughter. She hasn't even been added to the family registry. What she's doing now is just trying to get into the registry. After all, latching onto the Ye family means soaring to the heavens."
Mu Hanqi looked down on people like her from the bottom of her heart. Even though the Ye family had caused her so much pain, she still rushed forward like a sycophant.
"Tell me about it?" Ye Longlin was curious.
He had so few memories of leaving the Ye family that he was unaware of subsequent events.
He only remembered that Ye Weizhu and Ye Lin used to love following him around, calling him "Big Brother."
"Your second uncle, Ye Nantian, had an affair with a woman outside, which resulted in Ye Weizhu. That woman was devoted and wanted to raise Ye Weizhu alone, but due to family changes, she had to beg Ye Nantian. That winter, the woman, holding Ye Weizhu, knelt before the Ye family's main gate, hoping Ye Nantian would take Ye Weizhu in. However, Ye Nantian refused to see them.
Her enemies came looking for her, and the woman was brutally hacked to death in front of the Ye family's gate. From beginning to end, the Ye family made no statement. According to whispers, just as the enemies were about to attack Ye Weizhu, the Ye family's butler appeared and saved Ye Weizhu's life. As a result, the butler was implicated, and his entire clan was annihilated, with no one left alive."
Mentioning Ye Nantian, Ye Longlin's eyes overflowed with killing intent.
After hearing Mu Hanqi's words, he let out a cold laugh, "Ye Nantian is as cold-blooded and overbearing as ever. One day, he will pay the price for his actions."
Mu Hanqi glanced at Ye Longlin and sighed, "Ye Nantian has never cared about Ye Weizhu, dedicating all his attention to Ye Xingchen. I don't know why Ye Weizhu is here this time. Ever since our branch became a collateral line, it has been difficult to get news from the capital."
Lin Tian'ai understood, "The Ye family is really playing a clever game. They know Ye Weizhu likes to follow you, and Ye Weizhu is not well-regarded in the Ye family. So they are using her to deal with you. If you end up killing Ye Weizhu, the Ye family will have a reason to intervene."
Lin Tian'ai's words made Mu Hanqi realize immediately. She slammed the table and exclaimed, "Exactly! The Ye family is precisely calculating this. To the Ye family, Ye Weizhu is not important; if she can be used to annoy you and deal with you, she's the best choice."
Ye Longlin shook his head, a hint of playfulness appearing on his lips, "That's not necessarily true. The deep-seated hatred... I don't believe Ye Weizhu can let it go."
...
Ye Weizhu and Ye Longlin arranged to meet on the rooftop of the Red Star Hotel. Many people were on the rooftop, including those Ye Longlin had brought.
Lin Tian'ai had already left.
"Brother."
Ye Weizhu called out happily. After so many years, she had finally seen Ye Longlin again. This person, who had a similar experience to her, might be the one standing on her side.
Ye Longlin's fingertip glowed with a wisp of smoke, and he exhaled a puff of smoke.
The wind howled, billowing their clothes.
Seeing his demeanor, Ye Weizhu said bitterly, "Brother, after so many years, you are completely different from before. You give me the feeling of treating human lives as mere grass."
Ye Weizhu, dressed in a suit, allowed the wind to blow her jacket. A strand of hair fell before her eyes, and a hint of gloom flickered in her gaze.
"It's just different experiences," Ye Longlin said expressionlessly.
Ye Weizhu nodded, indicating understanding, then got to the point, "We both have similar experiences. We are both people the Ye family does not allow to exist. That's why Ye Nantian expelled us. I also know you want revenge, and so do I. I can help you. I want Ye Nantian to personally witness the downfall of the Ye family. I want Ye Nantian to feel the pain his mother felt before she died. I want the Ye family to disappear from this world!
In this world, there can only be one Ye surname, and that is Ye Longlin's Ye, not Ye Nantian's Ye!"
Her eyes exuded intense hatred. That hatred, surging from the depths of her heart, was enough to overturn the sky.
"The structure of the ten great families in the capital has been in place for too long. It's time to overturn them and establish our own order. Brother, I'll help you. I don't have the ability to get revenge, so helping you is helping myself. Let us, brother and sister, overturn the heavens of this capital!"
Ye Weizhu extended her hand towards Ye Longlin, a cruel smile appearing on her lips. She truly wanted revenge, and she also knew that she could not achieve it on her own. The only one she could rely on was Ye Longlin.
Ye Longlin chuckled, "And how do you know I have this ability? What if I don't?"
Ye Weizhu stated with certainty, "Because you are the youngest Five-Star War King in history, in your prime, the Lord of the Dragon Pavilion who shakes the world!"
Yuan Gang's pupils suddenly contracted. Being able to discover these things was enough to show that Ye Weizhu was not simple. Even the ten great families would have to exert considerable effort to uncover such information, and might not succeed.
After all, Ye Longlin's identity and the identities of everyone in the Dragon Pavilion were top secret.
Even in the Hall of Honor, this was considered the highest level of classified information.
No one knew what Ye Weizhu had paid to uncover this.
Ye Longlin looked at her in surprise, "I didn't expect you to have investigated so thoroughly."
Ye Weizhu smiled, her smile as beautiful as a flower. It was a pity that only Ye Longlin had ever seen her smile.
"Hehehe, Big Brother, does this mean you admit it? If that's the case, then your sister will await news from you?"
Ye Weizhu also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Ye Longlin agreed, everything else was negotiable. Time was long, and there was still time to plan slowly.
"Ye Qingxin must know your intentions. The fact that she hasn't mentioned anything makes me very puzzled. Find a way to figure out what Ye Qingxin is thinking. I also want to know how far Ye Qingxin's 'Supreme Forgetfulness' has progressed."
Ye Longlin said casually. It seemed like one matter, but in reality, it was two. However, these two matters were not easy to accomplish.
Ye Weizhu nodded with a solemn expression, "I will investigate. I will stay here for a month. During this month, I will cooperate with you to short the Plum Blossom Group, as a form of early interest collection."
Perhaps the Ye family never imagined that Ye Weizhu had never forgotten the hatred from those years, nor had she forgotten the deep-seated enmity that was upon her.
This was destined to push the Ye family into the abyss.
"Master, it's almost time. Ye Qingxin is still waiting for you."
