Surprised, not only by how far-sighted Ye Xuan was, but also by a sense of the surreal.

Not long ago, Wang Qianjun was in his prime, and now he is under the control of Ye Xuan? Such a thing, if told a month ago, probably no one in the world would believe it, right?

Liu Ying pursed her lips and reflected, saying, "Capturing Wang Qianjun is an important part of your plan, right?"

"Of course," Ye Xuan smiled lightly.

Leng Liuge curled his lips and said, "What exactly is your plan?"

"What else?" Ye Xuan grinned, "As usual, go big or go home!"

The women: "..."

Well, saying it is no different from not saying anything, it’s the same answer every time!

...

This is a secret chamber, shrouded in darkness, void of any light, with a strong moldy smell filling every corner, like a relic forgotten by the world.

Wang Qianjun groggily opened his eyes, looked around at the pitch-black surroundings, first stunned, then suddenly calm.

After mulling it over, Wang Qianjun spoke, "Is there a light here?"

"There is."

A woman’s icy voice echoed in the darkness.

Wang Qianjun smiled, "Could you please turn it on? I don’t like the dark."

The woman replied without any emotion, "I don’t have the authority."

Wang Qianjun thought for a moment, his smile grew broader, "Then when will the person with authority come?"

Woman: "I don’t know."

Wang Qianjun smiled, "Pass on a message for me, I don’t have many days left. If they want something from me, they better come soon."

Woman: "He knows."

Wang Qianjun was taken aback.

He knows I don’t have many days left?

This... how does he know?

Bang!

Before Wang Qianjun could figure it out, the secret chamber, dark as night, was suddenly flooded with bright lights, illuminating every corner in glaring white, making it hard for Wang Qianjun to open his eyes.

After half a minute of adaptation, Wang Qianjun barely opened his eyes, looked up and saw a man and a woman.

The man had an ordinary appearance, lean body, almost unremarkable to a stranger’s eyes.

The woman, with Western features, large eyes, an exquisite nose, fair skin, and beauty; she had the innate proud figure of a Western woman but also the charm and grace of an Eastern woman, truly a rare gem.

Wang Qianjun glanced at Diana twice, then fixed his gaze on Ye Xuan, with a neutral smile, "Ye Xuan, you’re a fortunate man, always surrounded by peerless beauties."

Diana blushed at the words, sneaking a glance at Ye Xuan and then quickly pulling back as if electrocuted, flustered in a way completely different from the world-known witch Diana.

Ye Xuan, however, didn’t notice, laughed and said, "People grow through adversity. This calamity that befell the Wang Family seems to have made the Family Head see through a lot, to the point where you can even smile and talk to the one who took your son’s life."

"When a man is about to die, he desires nothing,"

Wang Qianjun said with a helpless smile, "Now, I am just an old feeble man without the strength to truss a chicken. Not only you, even a little beggar on the street, I cannot contend with. Rather than burning with impotent rage at you, it’s better to forget everything and find a bit of peace and tranquility for myself."

"Sounds somewhat reasonable."

Ye Xuan lit a cigarette, smiling, "Just wondering if you can maintain such equanimity towards the now most triumphant Liu Family."

"Whether I maintain it or not, what difference does it make?"

Wang Qianjun replied with a bitter smile, "By the same logic, even with a deep vendetta, I neither have the capability nor the time to seek revenge."

"You lack capability and time, but I have them," Ye Xuan said with a smile.

"Oh?" Wang Qianjun looked at Ye Xuan with keen interest.

"Don’t believe it?" Ye Xuan asked.

"I believe it,"

Wang Qianjun laughed, "Over the years, you are the only one to leave me severely injured. To tell the truth, Liu Family could only succeed because of you; had you not severely weakened the Wang Family, they couldn’t have easily swallowed us.

Now, the Liu Family is unlike before, even more formidable than the Wang Family of old, but you’re an absolute genius. You could play the Wang Family into disarray, and you can also reduce the Liu Family to dust.

So, I believe you’ll definitely topple the Liu Family."

Ye Xuan took a deep drag of his cigarette, speechless, "Since you believe in me, why the ’oh’?"

"Just can’t quite figure it out,"

Wang Qianjun said, "You’re the enemy who killed my son, and now with the downfall of the Wang Family, you’re indeed a decisive factor, theoretically, I should hate you deeply, gnashing my teeth. Now that I’m a dying man, why should I help my foe?"

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend," Ye Xuan smiled.

"True words," Wang Qianjun said, "But I don’t like either you or the Liu Family."

"You will help me," Ye Xuan smiled confidently.

"Oh?" Wang Qianjun was taken aback, "Why do you say that?"

"You’ve been hit by a deadly poison, knowing your days are numbered. Your family has fallen, friends have betrayed you, and you’ve lost everything you once had. If you didn’t want to help me against the Liu Family, even if Liu Qiankun didn’t kill you, you would have long since taken your own life."

Ye Xuan squinted his eyes and smiled, "Since you’re still alive and sitting here today, that means you wish, in the last days of your life, to lend me a hand."

"Maybe I just want to live a few more days? After all, that’s human nature, no matter how painful life is, wanting to catch even one more glimpse of the world."

Wang Qianjun replied with an ambiguous smile.

"You have a point, but it doesn’t apply to you,"

Ye Xuan chuckled, "Others cling to the world because it’s beautiful and there are many things worth cherishing for them, but you? At this point, what’s left in this world worth your attachment?"

Wang Qianjun frowned.

Ye Xuan continued, "Your hatred for Liu Qiankun surpasses mine because I only killed your son, but he destroyed everything of yours, trampled on your dignity, obliterated your beliefs."

"With the collapse of the Wang Family, you’ve nothing left to hold onto, no fears about life or death, yet you chose to submit, obey Liu Qiankun, and honestly signed away all your shares?

"Why? Knowing you are dying soon, why endure such humiliation in your last days? You’re not that kind of person, nor do you have a reason to act in that way."

"Unless... you want to find me before you die, help me to inflict heavy losses on the Liu Family."

Ye Xuan finished his words, each word resounding powerfully, every point hit the mark.

Wang Qianjun was stunned.

In an instant, the entire secret chamber fell into silence, so hushed you could hear a pin drop.

Wang Qianjun stared wide-eyed at Ye Xuan, struggling to regain his composure, his gaunt and aged face filled with shock and astonishment.
