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

Not receiving a reply from Ye Linyuan, Qin Lie sat quietly on the sofa, ignoring the blood still seeping from his severed arm. His expression had returned to calm, and he looked at Ye Linyuan with a mocking gaze.

"Ye Linyuan, stop wasting your breath. Let me tell you the truth: although I, Qin Lie, hate Qin Feng and Qin Lin, the Qin family was built by my ancestors through hardship and struggle. I will not let you destroy it."

Ye Linyuan nodded, leaned back in his chair, and crossed his legs.

"Young Master Qin, the way you're talking makes it sound like I'm going to ruin your family. I just want to understand the situation to avoid any unintended consequences."

"Accidental injury? You're kidding me. You just want me to help you, huh? Keep dreaming."

Hearing Qin Lie's words, Ye Linyuan sighed.

"Alright, since Young Master Qin is so assertive, then I won't hold back either."

He stood up and walked up to Qin Lie.

Qin Lie looked at him warily, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart, and his voice trembled slightly.

"What, what are you going to do?"

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to have a good talk with you."

Ye Linyuan smiled and placed his hand on Qin Lie's severed arm. In an instant, Qin Lie winced in pain and broke out in a cold sweat.

If he didn't want to lose face in front of Ye Linyuan again, he would definitely be wailing right now...

"you......"

Just as Qin Lie was about to endure the excruciating pain and utter some harsh words, he suddenly felt his consciousness blur, his eyes began to glaze over, and his body stiffened like a piece of wood.

Chen Hu, who was being restrained, was shocked and exclaimed in surprise.

"Young Master! Young Master! What did you do to the Young Master?!"

"Don't make a sound, he's fine."

Ye Linyuan gestured to his bodyguard to shut up, and then closed his eyes as well.

[Soul Possession, Activation!]

[Target: Qin Lie]

[Status: Willpower collapsing... Possession successful!]

[Reading memories...]

In an instant, Ye Linyuan's consciousness entered Qin Lie's mind, and the next moment, countless images flashed by like a revolving lantern.

There are scenes of Qin Lie being forced to study by Qin Feng when he was a child, scenes of Qin Lie being framed by Qin Lin multiple times, scenes of Qin Lie being given high hopes by Qin Zhantian, the old patriarch of the Qin family, and more...

The Qin family's secret ledgers, smuggling transaction records, secret accounts in the United States, secret cooperation agreements with the Morgan Group, and various trump cards!

As Ye Linyuan watched, he made notes in his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh that the Qin family really had a lot of trump cards up their sleeves.

First and foremost is money. The Qin family has a secret deposit of 700 billion US dollars, equivalent to 4 trillion RMB, in Swiss banks. This is the Qin family's trump card for making a comeback.

Secondly, there are relationships. The Qin family has private dealings with several ministerial-level officials in the Longguo Kingdom, and the money they send to them every year is in the hundreds of millions.

Secondly, there is military force. The Qin family maintains a well-equipped private army of 300 men, hidden in a secret base in the northern mountains. They also have guns and an entire mercenary legion in Africa, numbering over 5000.

Finally...

It's a secret agreement between Qin Lie and the Morgan Group!

Ye Linyuan carefully examined the agreement, and his eyes lit up.

Holy crap, he really didn't expect that Qin Lie would actually have connections with the Morgan Group in the United States behind the scenes.

It wasn't the Qin family, but Qin Lie himself!

The agreement was simple: the top ten American conglomerates, led by Morgan Group, would help Qin Lie reclaim the Qin family. In return, after Qin Lie came to power, he would open all of the Qin family's channels and resources in northern China to Morgan Group, and would also hand over all the information the Qin family held regarding other families.

The most disgusting thing is that Qin Lie will help the United States completely open up the Chinese market!

Ye Linyuan was so angry he laughed. Wasn't this tantamount to treason?

Fine, fine, Qin Lie, didn't you say you wouldn't destroy the Qin family? So you're not going to destroy the Qin family, but instead betray the country, huh?

Ye Linyuan continued reading and soon discovered another trump card of the Qin family, left behind by Qin Lie's grandfather, Qin Zhantian.

It was a key, a key to unlock some secret vault.

The vault contained Qin Zhantian's accumulated "treasures" over decades—including incriminating evidence against several high-ranking officials in China, trade secrets of competitors, and even technical blueprints from a Chinese military enterprise.

If these things were exposed, it would cause an earthquake in both the political and business circles of the entire Dragon Kingdom.

Ye Linyuan noted down the location of the key: under an old pine tree in the backyard of the Qin family's old house.

Five minutes later, Ye Linyuan released his grip, sat back down in his chair, took out his phone, and quickly memorized all the information. Qin Lie, on the other hand, slumped onto the sofa as if all his energy had been drained, panting heavily. He suddenly turned his head and stared intently at Ye Linyuan, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

"What...what did you do to me?"

Ye Linyuan said casually.

"It's nothing, we just had a more in-depth conversation."

In-depth discussion?

Qin Lie's face instantly turned ashen, and he subconsciously reached behind him.

Ye Linyuan was truly surprised that Qin Lie would think that way, and his face turned ashen.

"You son of a bitch! I'm not interested in men!"

"So what exactly did you do?!"

"They did everything."

Ye Linyuan shook his phone.

"Including your Qin family's 700 billion in Switzerland, including your agreement with Morgan Group, including the key left by your grandfather."

Qin Lie's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he kept muttering to himself.

"Impossible! How could you possibly know this?!"

"As I said, we had a detailed discussion."

Ye Linyuan stood up and patted Qin Lie's face.

"Young Master Qin, guess what will happen to your Qin family if I hand these things over to the government?"

Qin Lie was trembling all over.

"What...what do you want?"

"What do I want? I originally just wanted the Qin family's trump card, but now..."

Ye Linyuan thought for a moment.

"I need your cooperation."

"Cooperate with what?"

"Cooperate with me in a play."

Ye Linyuan leaned closer to him and lowered his voice.

"Don't you have an agreement with Morgan Stanley? Continue to contact them, but all information must go through me first."

"You're dreaming!"

"Not dreaming? Then I'll send these things to the National Security Bureau right now. At that time, not only the Qin family, but even you, could be executed with a kilogram of bullets."

As he spoke, Ye Linyuan made a move to call the police. In an instant, Qin Lie was stunned, gritted his teeth, and roared loudly.

"Wait! I... I promise you!"

Ye Linyuan patted the wound on his shoulder.

"That's right. Don't worry, after it's done, I won't swallow the Qin family whole. I'll leave you some soup."

"I don't want the soup, I want the entire Qin family."

"That's impossible. To tell you the truth, if you cooperate with me, the Qin family might be able to survive a little, but if you don't, then you and the Qin family are both finished!"

Qin Lie closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"I'll cooperate."

"clever."

Ye Linyuan turned to look at Gu Haoran.

"Haoran, Liuli, let's go."

"Okay." X2

When Ye Linyuan and the others reached the door, Qin Lie suddenly stood up and shouted loudly at Ye Linyuan.

"Ye Linyuan, you will get your retribution."

"Retribution? Even a traitor like you hasn't been punished, so how could a patriotic youth like me be punished?"

In the car, Gu Liuli couldn't help but ask.

"Brother Yuan, are you really going to let Qin Lie go...?"

"Hehehe, how could that be? The kind of person I hate most are traitors and lackeys. I would never leave such trash with a second thought. I'm leaving now. Send me back to the Luo family first. I need to get back to my superiors."
