She regretted divorcing the female CEO.

To be an enemy of Si Yang is to die without difficulty.

The women, unusually, remained silent; they had all noticed Si Yang's loss of composure.

This usually calm and collected man finally lost his composure.

Even if he pretends to be nonchalant, a man who has handled knives for half his life, how could he possibly cut his hand while slicing beef?

What's the difference between this and a joke?

Liao Rushuang remains the woman Si Yang can never let go of in his heart.

I can't forgive her, but I also can't let her go.

It seems like this is how the two of them are destined to be, tormenting each other for a lifetime.

After bandaging his hand, Si Yang took a deep drag on his cigarette.

"Who will marry her?" Si Yang asked, looking at Ye Qingyan.

"He seems to be the son of a company CEO, the kind of young and promising person."

"Of course, it's not respectable in the capital," Ye Qingyan said softly.

In Beijing, how many people can truly gain access to the inner circle?

Money is very useful elsewhere, but in that place, it's sometimes no different from a joke.

Are families like the Ye family wealthy? Perhaps not very wealthy, but they certainly wouldn't have to worry about money.

No truly respectable family would want Liao Rushuang, no matter how beautiful she is.

This also applies to Ye Qingyan; after the Luo family incident, Ye Qingyan could no longer get married.

Who knows when Si Yang will be liquidated?

To put it bluntly, even if someone like him cheats on you, you have to put up with it.

What can anyone do to him?

"Si Yang, why don't we bring her back?" Ye Qingyan said softly.

The two of them remaining in this stalemate is not a good thing.

If Si Yang could let it go, that would be fine, but unfortunately he can't.

Liu Mingyi was his first woman, and Liao Rushuang was his first love.

Men can never truly let go of their first love, often with a lingering, idealized view of it.

Even knowing it's impossible, I still can't help wanting to know anything about her.

"After all, you've already forgiven Liu Mingyi," Ye Qingyan said softly.

"Ye Qingyan, you have nothing to say now!" Liu Mingyi slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

This woman habitually tries to sow discord in her eyes.

"Sorry, I forgot you were here too." Ye Qingyan apologized verbally, but she didn't feel any remorse at all.

"Go and give her a congratulatory gift." Si Yang didn't answer Ye Qingyan's question. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke.

"Is it a complete break?"

"Or?" Ye Qingyan looked at Si Yang, unable to discern his thoughts at that moment.

"I'm going to Guangzhou. It's good to catch the leader first, so we can't ruin our relationship all at once," Si Yang said softly.

This is Si Yang; if it were anyone else, the higher-ups would probably have already intervened.

Wronged?

Many people feel wronged, and even more swallow their grievances.

In this world, being able to reason with anyone is an incredible skill.

Not everyone is willing to reason with you.

While no one will say anything if the argument continues, it will ultimately damage one's public image.

"Mm." Ye Qingyan nodded gently.

"Si Yang," Ye Qingyan said, her voice trembling.

Sometimes, once a choice is made, there's no going back.

"No need to say anything." Si Yang shook his head and then went into Ye Mengwan's room on his own.

He picked up the little girl, saw a smile on her face, but remained silent.

Ye Mengwan looked at Si Yang without saying a word; she could sense that something was wrong with Si Yang's emotions.

But we don't know what happened.

I'm afraid Ye Qingyan has angered him again!

"Ha!" Si Yang let out a sneer.

Laughter that came out of nowhere.

"What's wrong?" Ye Mengwan asked softly.

"It's okay." He kissed his daughter's little cheek. "I have to go out for a bit, and I won't be able to see my daughter for a while."

"You! How can you be like this, unable to leave for even a moment?" Ye Mengwan chuckled.

Si Yang also laughed.

In this life, you always have to give up some things.

Tell me, what is it that I can't let go of?

"What do I have that I can't lose?" Si Yang sneered.

Ye Mengwan was puzzled.

"Did Qingyan and the others make you angry again?" Ye Mengwan asked cautiously.

"No," Si Yang shook his head.

Holding his daughter, he paced back and forth in the room until the little girl fell into a deep sleep.

"I always coax her like this, and she's become so spoiled that she won't go to sleep unless I gently coax her."

"My child! Whatever bad habits you have, that's what you're allowed to develop!" Ye Mengwan said coquettishly!

It's not that they spoil them, it's that they spoil them too much.

"There's a whole family here. My daughter likes it, so we can take turns carrying her. What if we can't carry her?" Si Yang sneered.

Ye Mengwan rolled her eyes at Si Yang, saying that it was pointless to talk to him, and that it would be like casting pearls before swine.

Gently lay the little one down.

"Alright, I'm going out for a bit." After saying that, Si Yang left.

After Si Yang left, several women came in.

Ye Mengwan made a shushing gesture, put on her slippers, and went outside.

"What's wrong? He seems a bit off." Ye Mengwan asked Ye Qingyan.

"Liao Rushuang is getting married," Ye Qingyan said softly.

"No." Ye Mengwan's voice turned sharp.

"No matter what, the marriage cannot go through." Ye Mengwan, who rarely expressed her opinions, suddenly raised her voice.

"She'll stay single for the rest of her life, even if it means staying single for me. If he doesn't want her, then she'll be all alone with me."

"She owes him this, why should she?" Ye Mengwan sneered.

"Is it a test? Is it coercion?"

Or should we simply accept our fate?

Si Yang hasn't let go, so why should she?

"Qingyan, go and bring her back. Don't say anything about her being willful or not, just do it this way."

"I'm going to call Grandpa," Ye Mengwan said through gritted teeth.

"It's such a small matter, let's not bother Grandpa," Ye Qingyan said with a smile.

Ye Mengwan generally doesn't express her opinions, but when she does, both she and Mu Nancen have to listen.

"She must be there when he wants to turn back."

"Our man has suffered too much in his life; he has never truly experienced a few days of happiness."

"He may seem to be surrounded by a lot of women, but that may not be a burden for him."

"When have you ever seen him laugh from the bottom of his heart?"

"Once it was for this, for that, and now it's for us."

"The person he least wants to be involved with is himself."

"He can keep it cool now, but what about the future?"

"Why should Liao Rushuang leave him with regrets?" Ye Mengwan said coldly!

"I understand." Ye Qingyan nodded gently.

"I'll go there," Ye Qingyan said softly.

No one dared to disrespect the eldest daughter of the Ye family.

Si Yang simply won't go.

At this time, Si Yang had already gone south to Guangzhou.

For Si Yang, finding someone was incredibly easy. Qi Guanchao had been well hidden because Si Yang hadn't considered it.

Otherwise, Qi Guanchao would have died long ago.

Now that things have come to this point, with both sides having basically revealed their cards, it's time to wrap things up.

Since ancient times, the simplest and most direct way has been to capture the king first.

In terms of intelligence, there is very little that can be kept from Si Yang in the Great Xia.

The current power struggle between the two sides is attracting a lot of attention.

It would be difficult for Qi Guanchao to hide.

Or rather, the Great Xia is relatively safer now. As soon as he leaves the Great Xia, Mu Nancen will take his life immediately.

Guangzhou, in the early hours of the morning.

A slight chill filled the air.

Qi Guanchao had not yet gone to sleep. The big boss who had single-handedly built the Chaozhou Gang had a look of melancholy on his face.

How did things get to this point?

"Guanchao, what should we do now?" An old man dressed in Tang suit asked, looking equally melancholy.

The Chaozhou Gang had never been so melancholy since its inception.

The company has been planning for decades, with a vast network of relationships and deep roots.

I thought I was safe and sound, but it turned out that only a few months had passed.

The building is about to collapse.

Ultimately, their previous smooth sailing was simply because no one bothered them, or rather, they didn't provoke anyone they shouldn't have.

Qi Guanchao smiled bitterly.

"Life is like that! Once a move is made, there's no going back."

"It's come to this point. Even if you kneel down and beg for mercy now, you probably still won't escape being stabbed."

Life has its ups and downs, and at this age, what is there to be upset about?

"Losing is just losing one's life, that's enough for me," Qi Guanchao said with a hint of bitterness.

It's true that you can't let go, but you always have to consider the worst-case scenario.

Ah, people! Whether you win or lose, whether you are willing or not, when you close your eyes for the last time, everything will vanish like smoke.

"I'm afraid he won't even have the money to buy a coffin when he dies!" The old man sitting opposite me sighed softly.

One of the elders of the Chaozhou Gang, and one of the few who could converse with Qi Guanchao.

In comparison, Zhao Haicheng and the likes of Jingzhou are somewhat inferior.

"They're all dead, so what difference does it make whether they have a coffin or not?"

"So what if my bones are crushed and my ashes scattered?" Qi Guanchao sneered.

Si Yang's face kept inexplicably popping into my mind. Ever since that meeting in the capital, he seemed to have lost his courage and the spirit he once had.

The Chaozhou Gang also rose from humble beginnings, and in the past, no matter what kind of opponent they faced, they never lost confidence.

But this time, Si Yang's calm and composed face seemed like a nightmare to him.

I've woken up in a fright countless times from my sleep.

How dare he?

How could you so easily say something like taking his life?

The person above even watched with a smile, never uttering a single rebuke.

How could he be so willful?

Even if he were that person's son, he shouldn't have done that!

So, some people don't understand, they don't even know their opponents, so how can they win?

In terms of strategy, that old codger from the Rong family is definitely a cut above the rest.

From Pingchao Club to Zhejiang merchants, and then the Yan family in the north and the Hua family in the northeast, it can be said that it was all orchestrated by that old codger.

He was surprised, but not afraid.

But he couldn't understand Si Yang.

In fact, it wasn't just him who couldn't understand it; the Rong family member was the same.

Game theory, strategic planning!

For Si Yang, this kind of thing was too boring.

He never solves problems; he only solves the problems raised by people.

"Having lived this long, it's time for me to die." A warm, magnetic voice echoed in the room.

Si Yang's figure appeared so openly and brazenly.

Qi Guanchao looked at Si Yang, a look of shock flashing in his eyes, before he regained his composure.

He let out a sigh, as if resigned to his fate.

"You want to use this opportunity to mediate and extricate yourself unscathed, but little do you know that sometimes the power of the situation can backfire and crush you."

"You want to mediate, but I won't agree, so there's nothing you can do."

"If the impact is too great, someone will eventually be unable to bear it. What should we do? Just let one of them die."

"Don't you think that makes sense?" Si Yang asked with a smile!

Upon hearing this, Qi Guanchao was stunned, shocked, and then incredulous.

"Are you trying to say why I wasn't the one who died?" Si Yang asked with a smile!

"Is it possible that you didn't get enough?" Si Yang chuckled.

"Was it destined from the very beginning?" Qi Guanchao asked!

His voice was hoarse, conveying more of a sense of resentment.

"Pretty much!"

"So you spend your whole lives scheming and plotting, but you can't even see the most basic things. Is this what you call wisdom in life?" Si Yang said disdainfully!

The old man sitting opposite Qi Guanchao gave a bitter smile. "To kill someone, you have to destroy their spirit?"

"Unwilling to accept it?"

"Do you think you still have a trump card up your sleeve in Southeast Asia that can stir up trouble?"

"Don't be silly, you're about to die," Si Yang chuckled.

Qi Guanchao stared at the old man opposite him in disbelief.

"you?"

"Guanchao! You seem to have forgotten how I started out."

"I started my business in Zhonghai and later came to Chaozhou."

"How could someone who started in Zhonghai bypass the Rong family?" The old man smiled calmly.

Qi Guanchao clutched his chest, a look of pain on his face.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Qi Guanchao burst into loud laughter, as if he were a madman.

It really was all predetermined.

The Chaozhou Gang, which he painstakingly built, was nothing but a joke in the eyes of some.

"Si Yang, give me some face. I'll hand over that mysterious force to you. You need them to control Southeast Asia."

"This is the last remaining asset of the Chaozhou Gang," Qi Guanchao said, looking at Si Yang.

"It's better for you to benefit than for an outsider to benefit." Qi Guanchao smiled bitterly.

"Okay!" Si Yang nodded.

"What do you mean by 'decency'?"

"I need a coffin. Bury me in this small fishing village in Chaozhou. I've been away from home for too many years. I want to go back and see my family," Qi Guanchao said softly.

"Okay, I promise you." Si Yang nodded gently.

Such a person deserves to have some dignity.

The old man sitting opposite him looked completely bewildered.

Qi Guanchao glanced at the other person and said, "Damn it, even though death means the end of everything, it's always good to be dignified."

"What's so important about revenge? We're not going to see it anyway," Qi Guanchao laughed heartily!

"Old man, you've been hiding it well!"

"No wonder Shang Jingzhou and Zhao Haicheng were almost powerless to fight back," Qi Guanchao sighed.

The old man opposite smiled. "Jiang Xiong greets the young master." The old man rose and looked at Si Yang respectfully.

"What era are we living in?"

"Go and show your loyalty to that old man, and tell him that I'm only responsible for killing." Si Yang calmly shook his head.

That old man, he's got a long-term plan!

A chess piece, buried for thirty years.

Ruthless enough, yet patient enough.

Jiang Xiong gave an awkward smile, lowered his head, and remained silent.

Qi Guanchao took out a pill and shakily put it in his mouth.

His eyes held resentment and anger, but more than anything, they conveyed a sense of relief at being outmatched.

"We lost!"

"We lost!"

"Utter defeat." Qi Guanchao spat out a mouthful of blood and muttered to himself as he stared at the ceiling.
