The village beauty and me!

Chen Huan took the USB drive out right in front of Ma Yingjun.

At that moment, Ma Yingjun's eyes instantly turned fiery.

Even the muscles in his body tensed up.

It seems they can't hold back any longer and are about to make a move to snatch it.

However, Ma Yingjun ultimately did not take any action.

He composed himself, looked Chen Huan in the eye, and said, "If you're willing to give me this, I'll consider any conditions you set.

Chen Huan fiddled with the small USB drive in his hand. "Aren't you afraid that I've already backed up this, and that after we've negotiated the terms and taken the benefits, you'll just go back on your word?"

Ma Yingjun's face revealed a cold and arrogant expression. "You simply don't have time to copy it."

"My people have been watching you ever since you got the USB drive."

"I know everything you did, including when you were working at Li Saifeng's financial company."

Judging from Ma Yingjun's appearance, he doesn't seem to be bragging at all.

Chen Huan was slightly surprised.

It seems I underestimated the Ma family and the woman in front of me after all.

He had been under surveillance from beginning to end, but he was completely unaware and oblivious.

It's likely that the Ma family has spies in Li Saifeng's company, a fact that would probably shock Li Saifeng if she knew.

"Tell me your thoughts and conditions. I'm here today for only one purpose: to satisfy you and then take the USB drive away," Ma Yingjun urged directly.

  

And he made no attempt to conceal his purpose.

Chen Huan revealed a meaningful smile. "Satisfy me?"

In what aspect?

Ma Yingjun frowned, his breathing becoming rapid again. "In every aspect, as long as you can name it and the Ma family can do it, there will be no problem."

Chen Huan licked his lips. "This really is beyond my expectations. As a promising young talent of the Ma family, and even a candidate for future heir, you're actually willing to make such a huge sacrifice?"

The subtext in Chen Huan's words was already quite clear.

Ma Yingjun naturally understood this as well, but his expression didn't change much at this moment.

He still frowned slightly, then gave an affirmative answer, "I suppose Guojianglong has already told you that the contents of that USB drive pose a great threat to the Ma family."

"As a member of the Ma family, I naturally have to do everything I can to share the burden of the Ma family and prevent such a large family from falling apart."

At this moment, Chen Huan suddenly felt a little bit of admiration for Ma Yingjun.

So much so that he was now too embarrassed to actually put those wicked thoughts that had just crossed his mind into practice.

He then put away the USB drive, sighed, and said, "It's a pity, you ultimately couldn't achieve your goal."

"As long as the Ma family lives, my friends and I will never be able to have peace of mind."

"If we spare the Ma family's life today, we will face endless trouble in the future, which cannot be compensated by any benefit."

A complex emotion flashed in Ma Yingjun's eyes.

It didn't look like disappointment, but more like a sense of relief and ease.

It seems that Ma Yingjun was unwilling to use himself as one of the bargaining chips to save the Ma family.

This is indeed difficult for an ambitious and proud woman.

Ma Yingjun took a half step back, slightly raised his face, and said in a much colder tone, "If you refuse, it means a real all-out war."

"Even if you have this evidence and dirt on you, it might not achieve the results you expect. Have you thought about that?"

Chen Huan calmly replied, "I remember making it very clear to you last time that one of us, the Ma family, has to be eliminated, and there's a high probability that I won't be the one eliminated."

"Let me tell you, even without this USB drive, sooner or later I will completely destroy the Ma family. This feud is irreconcilable, and it cannot be affected by your mere personal sacrifice."

"So, go back home safely and use whatever methods you have."

"Considering you are a woman, I will not make things difficult for you today."

I thought Ma Yingjun would either leave in a sorry state or angrily scold me and say some harsh words before leaving.

As it turned out, the person neither left nor got angry.

Instead, she changed her expression and said in a negotiating tone, "If I told you I have another way to solve this problem, would you like to hear it?"

Chen Huan raised an eyebrow. "Another one?"

"Are you kidding me? I made it very clear just now that only life and death can solve this."

Ma Yingjun said slowly, "I can help you destroy the Ma family, or more precisely, destroy the Ma family as it once was."

"Would you consider a deal where those arrogant, self-righteous individuals who repeatedly made mistakes are eliminated, and all the resources and assets the Ma family has seized over the years are abandoned, and they completely repent and reform, seeking only a place to live a peaceful life?"

Chen Huan blinked, finding it difficult to fully process what the woman in front of him was saying.

"Wait a minute, you're saying you want to personally eliminate those who used to be in power in the Ma family, and then abandon most of their resources and assets, just to secure a place to live?"

"Is this some kind of act of sacrificing family for the greater good? You don't seem like that kind of person."

Faced with Chen Huan's question, Ma Yingjun showed a helpless expression, "Ever since our last face-to-face battle, I've been thinking about some issues."

"And to be honest, the Ma family is already riddled with internal conflicts. Some people advocate fighting to the death with you and Guo Jianglong, and believe that they have a great chance of winning."

"Another group of people advocated seeking peace, hoping to barely maintain the Ma family's dignity and so-called stability."

"But judging from your reaction today, it seems unlikely that either idea will be realized."

"So I had to bring my previous ideas to the forefront."

Chen Huan tried again to digest the meaning of the other party's words. "In other words, you are now betraying the Ma family and joining hands with me to eliminate the hostile forces in your Ma family and help you establish a new Ma family."

"To completely absolve oneself of past responsibilities, sever all ties, and then move on?"

"What's the difference between this and raising a tiger for your own good? In the end, you've just used it as a pawn without gaining any real benefit."

Ma Yingjun slowly shook his head. "That's not the case. The plan I proposed is not simply about cutting off an arm to survive, nor is it about destroying the old and building the new."

"I just wanted to preserve a sliver of hope for the Ma family."

"Just promise not to go to extremes."

"The remaining benefits will definitely far exceed your imagination."

Chen Huan's eyes began to become ambiguous again.

Ma Yingjun quickly added, "Of course, these so-called benefits do not include me."

"After all, I have already sacrificed too much in this plan, and I will become a complete sinner of the Ma family."
