Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world

"Is that even a question?" Qin Qingcheng's lips curled into a cold smile, a fierce hatred flashing in her eyes. "The grudges of the past life will be avenged in this life. I will never let Xiao Chen live as freely as he did in the past life, nor will I let him have the chance to affect my life again."

In her past life, because of Xiao Chen, her Qin family inexplicably stood on the opposite side of Luo Lingtian, becoming irreconcilable enemies.

In the end, the powerful Qin family was gradually devoured and destroyed by Luo Lingtian, and the family members were displaced. She herself also met a tragic end. Naturally, she hated Xiao Chen to the core.

If her love for Xiao Chen was from her own heart, a choice made after careful consideration, then even if it ended in tragedy, she would accept it and only blame herself for her poor judgment and failure to recognize true character.

But unfortunately, her so-called "love" for Xiao Chen was not something she felt willingly. It was the result of being forcibly controlled by a strange and irresistible force. She would never forget the feeling of being powerless and the pain of being deprived of her autonomy.

Previously, she had never known the source of that mysterious power. Now she had some guesses, but even if she guessed a little, she still couldn't find the source of that power to take revenge.

Since she couldn't take revenge on the root cause, she could only vent all her hatred on Xiao Chen, the direct beneficiary.

Moreover, this is not entirely unfair to Xiao Chen. After all, he was the biggest beneficiary of that mysterious power. Almost all the good fortune and assistance he had in his previous life were closely related to that power.

If it weren't for that powerful force protecting him, Xiao Chen, with his talent and temperament, would never have been able to reach such heights.

Qin Qingcheng looked up at Yu Bingyu, her eyes filled with understanding: "As for you, although I don't know exactly what you went through in your past life, I imagine it wasn't much better than mine. If you hadn't been harmed by that force, you wouldn't have contacted me on your own initiative."

"Is there any specific plan?" Yu Bingyu did not deny Qin Qingcheng's guess, but simply nodded slightly, and then asked the core question.

After she awakened her memories, all she had in mind was the thought of revenge, but she hadn't had time to come up with a concrete plan yet.

"The specific plan..." Qin Qingcheng frowned, lost in thought, her fingertips unconsciously tracing circles on the rim of her teacup.

To be honest, she hadn't figured out how to deal with Xiao Chen yet.

After all, after seeing those novels in Luo Lingtian's study, she was quite wary of the "protagonist halo" described in them.

She didn't know Xiao Chen's true identity or whether he also possessed the so-called "protagonist halo," but looking at his life trajectory before meeting Luo Lingtian in his previous life, it could be described as smooth sailing.

No matter what difficulties they encounter, they always manage to turn misfortune into good fortune; no matter what desperate situation they fall into, they always receive unexpected help. Such a life is clearly controlled by an invisible hand, and there must be some inexplicable force protecting them from behind.

Perhaps Xiao Chen can be considered a so-called "protagonist," and for someone with such a "protagonist halo," the biggest taboo is not being able to deliver a fatal blow.

If we can't kill him before he's fully grown, he might actually grow stronger and stronger due to various unexpected events.

Once he grows up, dealing with him will be incredibly difficult.

"I haven't come up with a specific plan yet." Qin Qingcheng slowly shook her head and replied truthfully, "Xiao Chen's identity is somewhat special. It seems that there is some unknown power protecting him. If we can't just kill him outright, he will only become stronger and more difficult to deal with."

"However, I do have some initial ideas, but I need more specific information to support them before I can refine them into an actionable plan." After thinking for a moment, Qin Qingcheng added again.

She had already read the second novel in Luo Lingtian's study.

The protagonist's experiences in the novel have many similarities to Xiao Chen's life trajectory, which gave her some initial ideas on how to deal with this type of "protagonist," but these ideas are still at the theoretical level and are not easy to implement directly.

After all, the novels she read only told the stories of the protagonists. Although their general experiences were similar to Xiao Chen's, they were not Xiao Chen's real experiences. To accurately deal with Xiao Chen and find his weaknesses and flaws, she needed to know more specific information about him, such as his current whereabouts, his network of contacts, and the opportunities he was about to encounter.

"It seems you don't intend to use Luo Lingtian's help to deal with Xiao Chen." Yu Bingyu's face showed a hint of surprise when she heard Qin Qingcheng's words.

In her view, after Qin Qingcheng awakened her memories, she not only did not choose to break off her engagement with Luo Lingtian, but also took the initiative to move into Lingtian Manor, which must be because she wanted to use Luo Lingtian's power to take revenge.

After all, Luo Lingtian's strength and influence are among the best in the world, and he is undoubtedly the strongest ally in dealing with Xiao Chen.

"Heh, so you think I didn't break off my engagement with Luo Lingtian because I wanted to use him to deal with Xiao Chen?" Qin Qingcheng instantly saw through Yu Bingyu's thoughts, a mocking sneer playing on her lips. She countered, "And what about you? That day, when Zhao Hao confessed his feelings, you readily accepted the flowers he gave you. Were you also planning to use his power for revenge?"

"How could that be?" Yu Bingyu's tone instantly turned cold. She slammed down her teacup, the bottom of which made a crisp sound as it hit the table. She gave a cold snort. "I, Yu Bingyu, am absolutely not the kind of person who would take advantage of someone else's feelings! Ahao and I are truly in love. We've been together since college, and our relationship has always been very good."

If it weren't for that damned force that forcibly distorted my perception, we would be married by now, and our kids would be old enough to run errands!

At this point, Yu Bingyu became somewhat agitated, a hint of grievance and anger flashing in her eyes: "I'm not like you. After you and Luo Lingtian got engaged, you two hardly spent any time together, and there was practically no emotional foundation between you. Don't tell me that you're with him now because you're truly in love."

"We weren't in a romantic relationship before, and we certainly didn't spend much time together." Qin Qingcheng looked calmly at the emotionally agitated Yu Bingyu, her face showing no emotion.

She hadn't expected that Yu Bingyu and Zhao Hao had such a deep past. She didn't take Yu Bingyu's sarcasm to heart and simply said truthfully, "But in fact, if it weren't for the influence of that force, I would indeed have become his wife."

"Back then, when I came to Hai City, my intention wasn't to break off the engagement." Qin Qingcheng paused, recalling her original purpose, her eyes softening slightly. "I just wanted to get to know him better, observe his character and personality firsthand, and then decide whether to honor the engagement and marry him."

"In fact, his character is evident to all. Even if I didn't know he was the chairman of Longteng Technology at the time, and only knew that he was the adopted son of the Luo family and a rich second-generation with average abilities in the eyes of outsiders, I would not have refused his marriage proposal."

Qin Qingcheng's tone was somewhat confident, "After all, with the current status and strength of my Qin family, we no longer need to consolidate our family's power through marriage alliances."

Although I didn't understand why my grandfather insisted on arranging this marriage for me, my requirements for a future spouse have never been about how outstanding or powerful they are. As long as they are of good character, have decent looks, and can respect and support each other, that's enough.

Without a doubt, Luo Lingtian completely met my requirements, and even exceeded my expectations.

Yu Bingyu glanced at Qin Qingcheng in surprise, clearly not expecting her to say such a thing.

She paused for a moment, carefully recalling the moments she had spent with Qin Qingcheng in her previous life. Although their relationship wasn't exactly harmonious because of Xiao Chen, they still understood each other to some extent.

That inexplicable force will only distort their perception of Xiao Chen's feelings and forcibly instill false love, but it will not change their own personality or principles of conduct.

Therefore, she could tell that Qin Qingcheng was speaking from the heart and was not making excuses to refute her.

Silence fell again in the private room, with only the tea in the purple clay teapot still steaming slightly, and the aroma of tea in the air growing stronger.

Yu Bingyu picked up her teacup, took another sip of tea to calm her excited emotions, and her perception of Qin Qingcheng quietly changed.

"Since you don't intend to rely on Luo Lingtian's power, what should we do next?" Yu Bingyu put down her teacup and steered the conversation back on track, looking at Qin Qingcheng with a determined gaze. "With just the two of us, it probably won't be easy to deal with Xiao Chen."

Qin Qingcheng nodded, agreeing with Yu Bingyu's statement: "It is indeed not easy, but it's not without a chance."

Our biggest advantage now is that we possess memories of our past life, know the general direction of Xiao Chen's future, and also know some of his weaknesses. As long as we can plan ahead, seize the initiative, gather enough information, and find the right opportunity, we might be able to completely suppress him.

"I will send someone to investigate Xiao Chen's current situation as soon as possible, including his whereabouts, interpersonal relationships, financial situation, and so on," Qin Qingcheng continued. "You can also keep an eye on things on your end. After all, you have your own connections and resources in Haishi. Once we have gathered enough information, we will meet again to discuss specific action plans."

"Okay, let's do it that way." Yu Bingyu nodded in agreement without hesitation. "I will arrange for someone to investigate as soon as possible, and I will notify you as soon as I have any news."

"By the way, Zhao Hao, did he also awaken his past life memories?" Suddenly, Qin Qingcheng thought of Zhao Hao. He had observed that day that not only did Yu Bingyu change the confession event because she awakened her past life memories, but Zhao Hao also seemed a bit strange.
