The yandere CEO’s Black Moonlight is reborn again

Chapter 297 Battle Situation
How could Jiang Yixuan escape from Fu Linchuan?
Ye Xi had a bad feeling that things might become even more troublesome next.

Her premonition was soon verified. While Fu Linchuan and several major families in Yuncheng were trying their best to find He Zisheng, Jiang Yixuan and He Jinming took a lot of actions.

No one knew how Jiang Yixuan did it, but all the rich second generation in Yuncheng, led by He Jinming, invested huge sums of money in Jiang Group, and the market value of Jiang Group increased dozens of times overnight.

When Ye Xi was confused, Ye Tingyun gave her the answer.

In addition to their hotel business, the He family also secretly developed several businesses that provided specialized entertainment services to Yuncheng's elite, gaining access to numerous leverage over them. This was considered a shady business, kept secret, unknown even to many members of the He family themselves, and the Ye family only discovered it by chance. The original director was unknown, but now it fell into the hands of He Jinming, who in turn handed this part of the business over to Jiang Yixuan. Jiang Yixuan now held sway over the lives of many in Yuncheng, using this leverage to pressure the wealthy second generation into investing in the Jiang family.

The two major projects he had previously transferred to Ye Xi were also returned to him. Ye Xi had always felt something was fishy when he took over, but after rigorous scrutiny from multiple parties, he hadn't discovered anything. Only now did he realize the problem wasn't with the production, but with the management. To put it bluntly, Jiang Yixuan had ultimate ownership of the products, with the right to sell directly or distribute them. The agreement Ye Xi had signed merely made her a supervisor, overseeing the factory's source on his behalf, but without receiving any benefits.

These two projects attracted the attention of many parties even before they were completed. Now that they are officially in operation, the huge profits brought by them are swallowed up by the Jiang family alone. The Jiang family's momentum is getting stronger day by day, and there is a trend of them becoming the fifth largest family in Yuncheng.

Jiang Yixuan's ambition was ignited. Even if he ultimately led the Jiang family to become the fifth largest family in Yuncheng, on par with the four great families of Ye, He, Jin, and Gu, he would never rest on his laurels. His achievements were like firewood thrown into a fire; it only fueled the flames. His ambition swelled day by day, and one day, he was determined to take over all of Yuncheng.

If he was still the original male protagonist, the son of destiny, even if he reached that position, he could still say that it was destiny. But now Jiang Yixuan's mentality has changed. He can even give away his former partner like a toy. If he really reaches a point where no one can resist him in the future, it will only be a disaster for the entire Yuncheng.

Ye Xi's goal from the beginning was to change the tragic ending of the Ye family. If Jiang Yixuan succeeded, they would have become enemies, and Jiang Yixuan would not let the Ye family go, nor would he let her go.

It would be hypocritical to directly claim she wanted to save Yuncheng. Jiang Yixuan wasn't yet qualified to be the villain, but now he was a threat to Ye Xi. Regardless of who was on the right side in this story, she knew only that they were now enemies. The winner would be hailed as a god, while the loser would be condemned to hell. She had to bring Jiang Yixuan down as soon as possible, using any means necessary, at any cost.

The Jiang family was growing too fast, becoming a thorn in many people's side. The pie in Yuncheng was so small that the existing factions couldn't even divide it up, and now the Jiang family had joined in, making everyone unhappy. However, these factions had always been at odds with each other, and while none of them wanted to see the Jiang family grow stronger, no one was willing to be the first to take action.

Ye Xi thought about it again and again and decided that she would be the first to take action.

Jiang Yixuan already had a grudge against the Ye family, and whether they took action now or not would not resolve his resentment. Rather than waiting for the final reckoning, it was better to strike first. Furthermore, the Ye family was now allied with the Fu family and had considerable influence in Yuncheng. If she and Fu Linchuan stepped forward, they might be able to open the doors of one or two families.

The first family she visited was the Jin family. Jin Qian and she had always been at odds, so Ye Xi had specifically investigated their past and found that it was all just petty squabbles over a girl, with no irreconcilable feud. Only then did she feel at ease going to their house.

They planned to partner with the Jin family to cut off the Jiang family's cash flow. The Jin family controlled numerous private banks and loan agencies, and many of Yuncheng's large, urgently needed transactions were handled by them. Jiang Yixuan's previous business record was flawless, but now that they had taken over the He family's shady operations, the funds couldn't be exposed. They would inevitably have to go through private banks, giving the Jin family ample room for maneuver. The Jin family, still reeling from the engagement party incident, agreed to the partnership but still demanded substantial benefits. Businesspeople are driven by profit, and Ye Xi wasn't afraid of them refusing to accept the benefits; they knew they wouldn't easily defect later.

The Gu family has a neutral attitude. They have the least business dealings with the other three families. No matter which side wins this business war, it will not affect them much, so they just want to sit on the mountain and watch the fight. Ye Xi persuaded them twice without success and gave up. As long as they can remain neutral, it is not unacceptable.

Fu Linchuan's forces stationed in Yuncheng were still unavailable. The current situation was between the Ye and Jin families, pitting them against the Jiang and He families. While Ye Xi seemed to have a better chance of winning, she knew they were in real danger. The Jin and Ye families were bound together by mutual interests, while the Jiang and He families were inseparable. It was even possible that Jiang Yixuan held all the power of both families. If Jiang Yixuan's chances of winning were large enough, the Jin family could stab him in the back.

Just when the two sides were at loggerheads and the situation was about to turn, Fu Linchuan brought good news: He Zisheng was found.

Ye Xi asked in surprise: "Did you find him?"

He Zisheng is now the key to the battle. Jiang Yixuan is so rampant now, largely because he borrowed the power of the He family. If He Zisheng returns to the He family now and regains control, Jiang Yixuan will be completely defeated.

Fu Linchuan shook his head and said, "It wasn't me who found it, it was Ji Qiulin."

Ye Xi thought for two seconds before remembering that this was He Zisheng's newly married wife not long ago, but because it was a business marriage, it was heard that the relationship between the two parties was not very good.

It seems the rumors aren't accurate either.

"When she brought He Zisheng back, he was covered in wounds and passed out right away. No one knew what they had been through. He was already in a coma when she brought him back. He was sent to the hospital for examination, but they said they didn't know when he would wake up."

Ye Xi's excited heart fell back. He Zisheng was unconscious now, so naturally he couldn't go back to the He family to seize power.
