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

In the afternoon, Ye Linyuan, who hadn't eaten a bite of lunch, prepared to go to the Ye Group to find out from his eldest sister, Ye Qingyan, whether the Ye Group had recently encountered any difficulties.

He had just been driven crazy by the three women's nagging. He had used a tool that could know the stock price changes of a designated company for the next month and update it in real time. He found out that Ye's stock would plummet in the next month, with a maximum drop of nearly 80%!

This surprised him. In the original storyline, the Ye Group's stock had never fallen this much. Even when An Wangshu dealt with the Ye Group in the original storyline, it was like boiling a frog in lukewarm water; she didn't go for the kill right away. So by the time the Ye Group reacted, it was already too late to turn the tide.

In other words, with his rebirth and return, the butterfly effect has begun to manifest, and some unknown forces are preparing to deal with the Ye family!

Ye Linyuan's primary target was the power behind Luo Qingxuan, after all, Luo Qingxuan's favorability towards him was as high as -95!

However, the Ye family is the most powerful family in the south. The fact that they can suppress the Ye Group means that the other party's strength is above that of the Ye family. In the entire Dragon Kingdom, only the three major families in the capital are stronger than the Ye family. Coincidentally, one of the three major families is surnamed Luo.

But if Luo Qingxuan really is a member of the Luo family, one of the three major families in the capital, as he guessed, then it's not a big deal.

Although the eight major families of Haicheng have their own internal conflicts, they can unite to resist the invasion from the north.

If it really is the Luo family that makes the move, then the eight major families will not sit idly by and will definitely join forces to defend against the enemy outside the thirteen provinces of Jiangnan.

This creates a vicious cycle: those stronger than the Ye family generally won't attack them, while those weaker won't dare to oppose them. So, who exactly is planning to take action against the Ye family...?

On the other hand, it turns out that the Ye family really was in trouble, and it wasn't what I thought; it was just a pretext to lure me back.

Now he can only hope that his older sister can provide some information. If the other side is too powerful, then his plan to cooperate with the country may have to be brought forward.

With the design blueprints for the Ark Reactor in hand, and with the old man, the pillar of the Ye family, still alive, he refused to believe that the country wouldn't stand on the Ye family's side!

But before that, I need to go back to the villa to change my clothes and have a chat with Ye Xi and Ye Xin.

To be honest, after what happened at noon, he really misses Ye Xi and Ye Xin now. After all, Ye Xi and Ye Xin have always gone along with him since they were little and never caused him any trouble.

Thinking about the lunch that had just turned into a bloody incident because of a plate of fish, he felt a headache coming on.

An Wangshu, Xie Qingyu, and Luo Qingxuan are still picking fish bones out of the fast food restaurant right now. He reckons today's events will soon be trending on social media.

Just as he expected, the story of three beautiful women fighting over a man in a fast food restaurant, ultimately ending up having to pick out the bones from over 100 plates of fish, has already become a trending topic.

#Shocking! Three beautiful women at a fast food restaurant compete for attention, picking out 100 plates of fish bones!#

After glancing at the various shocking articles trending on social media, Ye Linyuan gave a wry smile.

He knew what would happen. These days, even the slightest disturbance can attract a lot of attention, especially when it involves beautiful women.

What's more, this incident stemmed from jealousy and rivalry, making it even more of a topic of conversation for many.

"Ugh, what kind of mess is this?!"

Ye Linyuan shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to take a shortcut to the villa, he was blocked by a group of thugs.

"Hey bro, we're a bit short on cash, how about you lend us some money?"

The group of thugs was led by a blond-haired man who approached Ye Linyuan while smoking a cigarette, his eyes full of provocation.

Ye Linyuan sized up the other party, too lazy to even use his detection technique, knowing full well that he was a weakling drained by wine and women.

"Get out of here before I lose my temper!"

Hearing that Ye Linyuan was not afraid at all, but instead made threats against them, the blond-haired man instantly became furious. He threw the cigarette in his mouth to the ground, stomped it out, and said fiercely to Ye Linyuan.

"Damn it, don't push your luck. If you give us some money now, it'll just be a small loss. But if you don't, don't blame us for being rough!"

"You're welcome? I'd like to see what makes you think you can be impolite."

Ye Linyuan sneered, casually took out the Ice Silk Gloves (from a certain high-level martial arts world, of course, taken out of the system space) from the bag, put them on, and stretched his muscles.

It's been a long time since I've had a fight, so it's a good opportunity to let these people loosen up my muscles!

Seeing that Ye Linyuan was clearly not going to pay, the blond-haired man got angry, pulled out a butterfly knife from his back pocket, and twirled it.

"Kid, I'm giving you one last chance. You'd better be sensible, or don't blame me for being ruthless later!"

"The boss is right, kid. You'd better hand over your money and transfer another 10 yuan to us, and we'll let you go. There are no cameras here. Even if we beat you to death, as long as we hide your body well, no one will know."

"That's right, that's right. Money is just an external thing. You can't take it with you when you die. You should think more positively and not risk your life for a little money."

"Judging from your appearance, you're obviously from a wealthy family. Do you really want to give up your current life for a few tens of thousands of dollars?"

"Hahaha, and look at your face! If we were to injure you, the hospital bills alone would probably be more than what we demand!"

The thugs following behind the blond-haired man also had a sinister smile on their faces. They pulled out various sticks and even steel bars from behind their backs, looking like they had Ye Linyuan completely under their thumb.

Ye Linyuan raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone unusually relaxed.

"Sorry, I'm a person who has no taboos and will eat anything, but I just won't eat threats."

"And you're right, there are no security cameras here, so it doesn't matter if we kill or maim you!"

boom--!

With the enemy outnumbering him, and adhering to the principle of striking first, Ye Linyuan decisively charged forward from zero. Before Huang Mao could react, he was already in front of him, and with a hook punch, he knocked Huang Mao unconscious.

Before the other thugs could react, Ye Linyuan was like a wolf king charging into a flock of newborn lambs. With every punch and kick, he took down one thug. In less than a minute, the dozen or so thugs were lying on the ground howling in pain.

He himself was only slightly out of breath!

"You bunch of weaklings, you actually dare to try and rob people?"

Putting away his silk gloves, Ye Linyuan took out his phone to call the police.

While you're at it, have the police investigate who's behind the other party.

As I said before, we live in a society governed by the rule of law. If we can resolve a problem within the rules, we should do so.

He had just taken out his phone to call the police and said "I want to call the police" when he felt a tingling sensation on his back. He instinctively reached up and touched it, only to find a syringe in his hand. Immediately afterward, a feeling of dizziness washed over him.

What the hell!

We got tricked!
