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

Meanwhile, in a farmhouse on the outskirts of Sen City, two elderly men with white hair and beards, exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom, were playing chess.

"Hahaha, sword, you've lost again."

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian shook his head helplessly and smiled wryly.

"Master, you are still one step ahead. I need to practice for another twenty years to catch up with you."

"Sword, actually your chess skills are almost the same as mine, but you have never been able to calm your mind for the past thirty years, so you always lose to me."

Hao Jian's master was named Zhen Aiguo. Although he appreciated his apprentice's flattery, as a master, he still had to be reasonable and present the facts.

Hearing his master's words, Hao Jian couldn't help but sigh.

"How can I calm down? Since Jing'er came down the mountain, his luck has been declining, especially recently, it has hit rock bottom. I really don't know what he did to cause his luck to drop so quickly."

Hao Jian's words immediately resonated with Zhen Aiguo, who spoke with some regret.

"So I told you back then that he was a good prospect, with extremely high aptitude and comprehension, but his character was not good. I told you to let him receive normal education, but you wouldn't listen and insisted on taking him by your side to teach him. As a result, he developed his current personality of thinking that he is the most important person in the world, second only to me, and that I am the third most important person in the world."

"So no matter what trouble he gets into this time when he goes down the mountain, I won't be surprised. I just hope he can come back alive. As long as he's alive, there's always room for things to turn around."

"Only by living can we inherit the mantle of our lineage."

Hao Jian nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then told her about asking someone to help Pei Sijing out yesterday.

As Hao Jian finished speaking, Zhen Aiguo's eyes became sharper than ever before.

"Hao Jian, how many times have I told you! We must abide by the law and regulations in our conduct. We must never think we are superior just because of our abilities and act recklessly."

"So-called connections and favors are all about cause and effect!"

"And have you considered that since the other party was able to get Jing'er in there so easily, it means they're not an ordinary person? Wouldn't having someone else bail them out put those trying to help Jing'er in great danger?"

"What would you do if the person who helped Jing'er retaliated against her?!"

"Are you planning to kill them to prevent future trouble?"

Hao Jian shook his head with a wry smile, and said in a somewhat sour tone.

"Master, I know I was wrong, but I really had no choice. Jing'er is her only son after all. How could I just watch him go to jail?"

Zhen Aiguo looked at his disciple, on whom he had always placed high hopes, still deeply entangled in a love triangle after thirty years. His face turned red with anger, but in the end, he still let out a deep sigh.

Of the eighty thousand words in the world, the word "love" is the most hurtful.

Humans suffer from three thousand ailments of birth, aging, and old age, but only lovesickness is incurable.

Ever since his apprentice met Pei Sijing's mother 30 years ago, he has been deeply entangled in a love triangle, unable to extricate himself. To this day, he still hasn't been able to escape this torment, and he doesn't know when he will be able to let go...

Ugh--

Zhen Aiguo sighed helplessly and said to Hao Jian.

"Alright, alright, let's leave it at that for now. I'll do a divination for Jing'er later to see if there's any danger. If it really comes to the point of being life-threatening, I'll swallow my pride and beg the other party to let Jing'er off the hook for the sake of my reputation as Zhen Aiguo."

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian immediately shook his head.

"Master, absolutely not! You are of such high status, how could you lower yourself to beg others for Jing'er's sake!"

"If it really comes to that, it's his fate, and he can't blame anyone else."

Jingle bell~

Just as Zhen Aiguo was about to retort, the cell phone on the stone table rang, and in an instant, an ominous premonition surged in both of their hearts.

Could it be that the words were spoken a moment ago, and they've already come true the next...?

Meanwhile, outside the Haicheng Civil Affairs Bureau, Ye Linyuan felt somewhat awkward.

Although they had already arranged for someone to confirm Pei Sijing's mental illness, they now had an even bigger problem.

That means his car was smashed, and he couldn't take Su Shiyu back to the Su Group.

"Ah Yuan, it's okay. I've already called Liu Fei. She'll be here to pick us up soon. I'll have her take you wherever you want to go first, and then take me back to the Su Group."

Ye Linyuan thought for a moment and then spoke.

"No need, Sister Shiyu. Just have Secretary Liu take you back to the Su Group. I'm just going to school for the day anyway, so it doesn't matter if I go early or late. I can just take a taxi."

Su Shiyu wanted to refuse, but seeing that her A Yuan seemed to have already made up his mind, she felt there was no need to argue with him over such a trivial matter, so she didn't say anything more, only reminding him.

"Okay, but Yuan, don't forget my bachelor party tonight! I've already invited some friends from my circle to the villa. Yuan, you absolutely have to come!"

Ye Linyuan smiled and gave her an OK sign, indicating that he would never forget.

After seeing Su Shiyu into Liu Fei's car, Ye Linyuan took out his phone to call a taxi to take him to school. But just as he took out his phone, a flashy pink Ferrari stopped in front of him.

"Where are you going, handsome? Need a ride?"

Ye Linyuan glanced at the other person, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

This woman is very beautiful and has a great figure, no less so than the beauties around me (except for An Wangshu in terms of figure). The fact that she can afford a Ferrari means that her family is not short of money.

The problem is that I don't know this person in the industry. Could he be a newly rich person who has emerged in Haicheng during the four years I was away?

However, the noble air she exuded from her very being clearly not that of a nouveau riche, but rather that she had received an aristocratic education from a young age.

That was bad enough, but what really alarmed Ye Linyuan was that her hostility towards him was a bit outrageous!

Name: Luo Qingxuan

Age: 22

[Favorability: -95]

[Tags: Top-tier sister-obsessed man, business tycoon, firearms expert, invincible drinker, gambling king]

[Note: Young man, if you manage to hook up with her sister, it's like getting one free!]

-90 to -99 is a blood feud, second only to -100 in a life-or-death choice. Even Zhao Xinyue, who was almost driven to death by her own words, did not have a value below -90. Yet this woman actually reached -95.

This number is second only to the two male leads, Zhao Jinyan and Pei Sijing!

Wait a minute, a top-tier sister-obsessed woman? Could her hatred for me be related to her sister?

Could it be that he had taken advantage of her sister and then abandoned her?

But that doesn't make sense. I don't even know her sister. How can you talk about starting something and then abandoning it?
