The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

"Since you're unwilling, Zhao, then forget it. I won't force you. Let's get down to business."

Seeing Chen Fan's expression turn serious, Zhao Yang also showed a solemn look.

Is the main event finally about to begin? If he hadn't contacted me and said, "We all share the same goal, which is to bring down Ye Linyuan," I wouldn't have come to meet him.

"Please speak."

"I learned through some special channels that, Zhao, your ex-girlfriend is named Leng Qinghan, and she was stolen away by Ye Linyuan. Coincidentally, my fiancée is named Liu Yanran, and she was also stolen away by Ye Linyuan. We are both in the same boat."

As Chen Fan finished speaking, Zhao Yang's expression changed, and his eyes were filled with sympathy as he looked at Chen Fan.

He originally thought that he was already miserable enough because Ye Linyuan had taken Leng Qinghan away from him, but he never expected that Chen Fan would be even more miserable than him.

Her relationship with Leng Qinghan couldn't even be described as boyfriend and girlfriend. Yet, even so, when Leng Qinghan was taken by Ye Linyuan, she was still nearly driven mad with anger.

Chen Fan was even worse off, as Ye Linyuan actually stole his fiancée from him!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yang looked at Chen Fan with a mixture of pity and curiosity.

"Don't look at me like that. My engagement with Yanran is an arranged marriage between two children. Originally, neither set of parents had much of an opinion on this. They just thought that if the two of them were compatible, they would get married, and if not, they would break off the engagement. Both sets of parents agreed when the engagement was made."

"Later, Yanran fell in love with Ye Linyuan, so she chose to break off our engagement."

Although Chen Fan spoke casually, Zhao Yang could still see a strong sense of resentment deep in his eyes.

Perhaps neither set of parents took this matter to heart; in their view, if it's a good match, they'll be together, and if it's not, they won't. But in Chen Fan's eyes, he probably already considered Liu Yanran his wife, so Liu Yanran falling for Ye Linyuan felt like a betrayal to him.

Ultimately, if we're comparing who's more miserable, then Chen Fan is definitely more miserable than me.

For some reason, Zhao Yang felt much more relaxed.

Seeing Zhao Yang's obviously relaxed expression, Chen Fan naturally knew what the other was thinking, but he didn't care and continued to speak.

"Therefore, we are both in the same boat and share a common enemy, Ye Linyuan. This is the basis of our cooperation and, in my opinion, the absolute guarantee that neither of us will betray the other!"

Zhao Yang nodded and spoke thoughtfully.

"That's true. If the two of us cooperate, we won't have to worry about the other betraying us. We can save a lot of trouble and unite against external threats."

"But as far as I know, Ye Linyuan is no ordinary person. Not only is he of noble status, but he is also very capable. The people surrounding him are all outstanding individuals who should not be underestimated. How confident are you that you can confront him head-on?"

As Zhao Yang finished speaking, Chen Fan slowly raised one finger.

"One in ten chance?"

Seeing Chen Fan's lone index finger, Zhao Yang couldn't help but widen his eyes, stand up abruptly, and exclaim in surprise.

It seems Chen Fan's identity isn't as simple as he claims. He's just an ordinary president of a listed company; otherwise, he wouldn't have such high confidence in front of Ye Linyuan.

What? You mean, a mere 10% chance of success is considered confident?

That depends on who the other party is. If it were a different enemy, and there was only a 10% chance of success, Zhao Yang would definitely turn around and leave!

What's the difference between this and sending someone to their death?

But facing Ye Linyuan, even a 10% chance of success is already quite high!

He is the young master of the Ye family, a trillion-dollar conglomerate. At the same time, according to his understanding, he is also extremely capable and is known in the industry as the number one among the younger generation.

If this were a fantasy novel, it would be the ultimate young master!

Therefore, having even a 10% chance of success when facing such an opponent is definitely proof of strength...

"How could it be ten percent? I mean one tenth."

Chen Fan's words interrupted Zhao Yang's joy.

Looking at Chen Fan's serious face, Zhao Yang nodded and sat down again.

Okay, turns out I was overthinking it...

One in a million chance... That's fucking real...

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Yang shook his head.

"Excuse my bluntness, but if we only have a sliver of confidence, then going against Ye Linyuan would be a sure way to lose, wouldn't it?"

Chen Fan sighed, remained silent for a while, and then slowly spoke.

"No, how can you call this a sure defeat? I don't know if you've ever heard this saying."

"What did you say?"

"As the saying goes, success depends on man, but planning depends on Heaven. Things only have success or failure; there's no third possibility. If you do it, there's a 50% chance of success. But if you don't do it, it's 100% failure!"

"Even if there's only a sliver of a chance, if we give it our all, we might still succeed."

After a pause, Chen Fan continued.

"Moreover, we are not without a chance of winning; we have someone on our side who can foresee the future."

As he spoke, Chen Fan recalled recent information about Yan Fan, and a conflicted expression appeared on his face.

To be honest, he really doubted whether Yan Fan could truly predict the future. Was his previous prediction to them a genuine foresight, or just a coincidence?

After all, who could have known that someone in the future would be tricked into prison by the enemy in no time?

But what if? What if it's an unavoidable force?

If Yan Fan could truly foresee the future, he would definitely fight with all his might. Even if he failed despite his best efforts, it wouldn't be a matter of ability or strategy, but simply because fate was on Ye Linyuan's side. Fate was unavoidable, and there was nothing he could do.

But if Yan Fan's prediction was just a coincidence, then without a doubt, the Chen family has been tricked!

This pitfall will lead to the complete downfall of the Chen family!

What worried him most was that the Yan family did not react at all after Yan Fan went to prison!

What does this tell us?

This suggests that Yan Fan has most likely been abandoned by the Yan family!

A person who can foresee the future is abandoned by his family. Either this is something that is destined to happen in the future, and even if Yan Fan can foresee the future, he cannot change it.

Either the Yan family knew that Yan Fan could foresee the future, yet they still made the judgment that they could not defeat Ye Linyuan!

From this perspective, both the former and the latter made him feel terrified.

The former represents an irreversible future trend, which is difficult to reverse no matter how hard one tries.

The latter means that the opponent is ridiculously strong, and even knowing the script, it is still impossible to win!

He only hoped it would be the former, and absolutely not the latter.

Because if it's the latter, then how desperate the future will be!
