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

Inside a villa estate in Dongdu, Ye Linyuan and the others looked at the two middle-aged men kneeling before them in the dogeza style of worship unique to the people of the Thousand Japan Kingdom, and casually spoke.

"Mr. Qian, Mr. Zhao, please get up. There's no need to be so polite."

"Hi!"

Qian and Zhao stood up, looking at Ye Linyuan and Xiao Ruoxi with restrained expressions.

Sensing the obvious discomfort between the two, Ye Linyuan helplessly turned his gaze to Xiao Ruoxi.

Xiao Ruoxi immediately understood, stood up and walked to the two of them, and spoke.

"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Qian, rest assured. Now that you have pledged allegiance to our Xiao family and have been granted the surname of the Dragon Kingdom, you can be assured that our plan will not use you as cannon fodder. The Dragon Kingdom does not follow that practice."

Hearing Xiao Ruoxi say this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

They were genuinely afraid that the Xiao family would use them as cannon fodder to achieve their own goals.

You have to understand that their actions are tantamount to betraying the Thousand Days Kingdom. After all, although they use the names Nishimura Akira and Fujiwara Hayashi from the Thousand Days Kingdom outside, they are called Qian Yijie and Zhao Erming in the Dragon Kingdom!

Most importantly, these two names were given to them by the head of the Xiao family as proof of their allegiance to the Xiao family back then!

They had received a message from the Xiao family saying that an important figure from the Xiao family was coming to Qianri Kingdom, and that they should prepare all kinds of information about well-known conglomerates in Qianri Kingdom. They immediately felt that something big was going to happen, so they assumed that the person coming must be Xiao Mingjue, the current head of the Xiao family.

If it were Xiao Mingjue who came, they wouldn't be worried at all, after all, he was their old master. They both knew very well what kind of person Xiao Mingjue was. He was a ruthless person who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, but in reality, he was a loyal and devoted man who would never abandon any of his companions.

Working under him means you never have to worry about being used as cannon fodder.

But to everyone's surprise, the arrival was actually the eldest son of the Ye family, the apple of the eye of the Xiao family, and some other proud daughters of heaven whose identities were unknown but who were clearly of extraordinary status!

Therefore, they were naturally worried that they would be used as cannon fodder and sold off by these hot-blooded young people.

"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Qian, how's the preparation of the materials we asked you to prepare coming along?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ruoxi's question, Qian Yijie and Zhao Erming quickly took out a stack of hard drives.

"Miss, here is all the information you asked us to investigate about the prominent conglomerates and families in Tokyo."

"This includes not only the size of the conglomerate or family, its liquid assets, and current employees, but also key information about its middle and senior management, as well as information about their families."

"In addition, we also investigated and compiled information on political figures associated with conglomerates."

Looking at this thick stack of hard drives, everyone present felt a chill run down their spine.

Consumer-grade portable hard drives are typically 8TB. ​​There are seven of these, meaning there must be roughly 50TB of data?

That'll be ages before we see it!

Ye Linyuan hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the seven hard drives on the table and spoke to the two of them.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, I have a question. The data on your portable hard drives isn't all text, is it?"

Qian Yijie quickly said.

"No, Mr. Ye, in addition to text, there are also pictures and videos taken through clandestine channels."

Zhao Erming, who was standing nearby, followed suit in time.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Ye, the information we have prepared is extremely detailed and comprehensive, leaving no stone unturned. To make it easier for you to find the information, we have also created a directory on this hard drive."

As he spoke, Zhao Erming pulled out one of the seven hard drives and handed it to Ye Linyuan.

After taking the hard drive from Zhao Erming, Ye Linyuan asked thoughtfully.

"With so much information, it must have taken a lot of time, right?"

"Hi! We've been collecting this information through various clandestine channels ever since Master Xiao left Qianri Kingdom, and we've been updating it in real time. It's taken us more than ten years to reach this current level."

As Zhao Erming finished speaking, everyone present felt an urge to give the two of them a thumbs up.

Such perseverance in collecting intelligence day after day for more than a decade is truly admirable.

"Great, with these, our next steps will be much simpler."

As he spoke, Ye Linyuan handed the portable hard drive to Liu Yanran, opened his laptop, plugged in the hard drive, and began browsing.

Although Liu Yanran's focus has never been on business, but entirely on medicine, it doesn't mean she's completely ignorant about business matters. After all, she has received a complete education as the eldest daughter of a prominent family, so she still knows what she should know.

After watching for only a short while, Liu Yanran nodded to Ye Linyuan, her eyes filled with undisguised excitement.

"Mr. Qian, Mr. Zhao, rest assured, after this matter, you can directly immigrate to China and obtain Chinese green cards and citizenship. As for your businesses in China, you can keep them. If you want to come back for a visit, you can do so at any time."

As Ye Linyuan finished speaking, the excitement on Qian Yijie and Zhao Erming's faces intensified.

They work so hard to gather intelligence for the Xiao family, isn't it all so that one day they can go to the Dragon Kingdom and become Dragon citizens?

What? You're saying they're from the Thousand-Day Country?

Do you even know what it means to abandon darkness and embrace the light?

Moreover, they have been supported by the Xiao family since childhood. The government of Qianri Kingdom has not given them a single penny. In fact, their miserable childhood was all thanks to these financial tycoons of Qianri Kingdom!

What they are doing now is simply settling scores and seeking justice for those they have wronged!

After seeing Qian Yijie and Zhao Erming off, Ye Linyuan took Liu Yanran's notebook, found the Mitsubishi Group's documents, and looked at the detailed information of the current head of the Mitsubishi Group, Kosaburo Mitsubishi. Instantly, he had a clear understanding of the situation.

"The Thousand Sun Kingdom is really interesting. Abilities are just embellishments; what's truly useful is the identity passed down through generations."

Ye Linyuan spoke with a cold smile, and Liu Yanran, who had already read part of it, nodded in agreement.

"That's right. The upward mobility channels in the Thousand-Day Kingdom are basically blocked. The children of officials will become officials, the children of tycoons will become tycoons, the sons of farmers will become farmers, and the sons of workers will become workers. If this cycle continues, there is no hope for the society of the Thousand-Day Kingdom."

The women present were no ordinary people. They stepped forward, glanced at him a few times, and instantly understood why Ye Linyuan had spoken of Mitsubishi Kosaburo in that way.

Kosaburo Mitsubishi's abilities are the same as ordinary people, but because he is the eldest son of the Mitsubishi family, even though he has two older brothers, Seiichi Mitsubishi and Koji Mitsubishi, whose abilities are clearly superior to Kosaburo's, Kosaburo's status as the eldest son allows him to completely control the Mitsubishi Group. Meanwhile, his two older brothers, Seiichi and Koji, are only fit to be his high-level henchmen and cannot even enter the decision-making circle of the Mitsubishi Group!
