After awakening her X-ray vision, the beautiful CEO couldn't sit still any longer.

After dealing with them, Ye Tian and Murong Xue comforted Murong Zhenting and left the ward together.

"Ye Tian, ​​you've really offended your second uncle's family this time."

Your second uncle and aunt are very vengeful; you'd better be careful in the future.

Murong Xue's beautiful eyes were filled with worry.

"President Murong, I offended your second uncle's family because I was trying to help you. You won't abandon me, will you?"

Ye Tian spoke casually, completely unconcerned.

"Ye Tian, ​​thank you, thank you so much. I originally just wanted to give you a try, as a last resort."

I never expected that you would actually cure my grandfather's illness.

Don't worry, I will definitely keep my promise to you.

If my second uncle does anything to harm you, I will definitely protect you to the end.

However, I can barely protect myself right now, so I can't guarantee your safety either.

Murong Xue gave a bitter smile.

"What? You, the president of the prestigious Murong Group? You can't even protect our lives?"

Ye Tian was speechless. If you had said so earlier, I would have toned it down a bit.

"Ye Tian, ​​I was almost killed today, and my grandfather almost didn't make it back to life. Do you think it's just a coincidence?"

This was probably all meticulously planned by someone.

Once my grandfather and I die, the vast Murong Group, the antique market, and all the businesses of the Murong family will become ownerless.

Faced with enormous profits, there's nothing they wouldn't dare to do.

Ye Tian, ​​I'm so sorry I've dragged you into this. Even if you didn't want to get involved in this conflict, it's too late now.

Murong Xue looked apologetic.

"Murong Xue, explain yourself clearly. Who exactly wants to kill you?"

Ye Tian was shocked. He had only tried to help someone, how did he end up getting involved in the power struggles of a wealthy family?

Who the hell can I complain to about this?

"Ye Tian, ​​if both my grandfather and I die, who do you think will inherit the Murong family's fortune?"

"Murong Qiming? Holy crap, it's Murong Qiming who wants to kill you and your grandfather?"

After thinking about it carefully, Ye Tian immediately realized what was going on.

This power struggle within a wealthy family has escalated to the point of life and death over inheritance.

"He is my second uncle, but not entirely."

Du Wenxiu, the wife of my second uncle, was a distant cousin of the Wang family, one of the four major families in Jiangcheng.

In recent years, the Wang family and our Murong family have had constant business frictions.

The Wang family intends to join forces with my second uncle to annex the Murong family.

Previously, I was never sure whether my second uncle was colluding with the Wang family.

It wasn't until today that I confirmed that he had definitely joined forces with the Wang family.

Otherwise, my second uncle and his family wouldn't have been so vehemently opposed to us saving Grandpa.

Ye Tian strongly agreed with Murong Xue's words.

"I knew it! Murong Qiming, Du Wenxiu, and Murong Qianqian were all strongly against me saving people. This was definitely not normal."

So they were hoping you two would die soon so they could inherit the family fortune.

Now that you know it's them, why did you let them go?

Ye Tian asked.

"I have no evidence, so what can I do to them even if I find out?"

Ye Tian, ​​even if I fight with all my might, I might not be able to defeat my second uncle and the Wang family working together.

Now you know how difficult my situation is, right?

Murong Xue gave a bitter smile.

"Isn't there any other way? I heard your boyfriend is very powerful, with connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds."

"You're in such a difficult situation right now, won't he help you?"

Ye Tian asked tentatively.

"Ye Tian, ​​you still don't understand the survival strategies of large families."

The four most powerful families in Jiangcheng are the Murong family, the Wang family, the Chen family, and the Meng family.

My dissolute fiancé, a playboy who indulges in all sorts of vices, is the eldest son of the Chen family.

This marriage was arranged by families and had no emotional foundation whatsoever.

Now that my Murong family is in trouble, it's already a blessing that the Chen family isn't kicking us while we're down. How could they possibly help us?

If the Murong family really falls, the other major families will all be able to get a share of the benefits.

Faced with enormous profits, personal feelings can be disregarded.

Murong Xue's expression darkened. Marriages between wealthy families are always the icing on the cake, how could they possibly be a lifeline in times of need?

"No wonder Old Master Murong is seriously ill and you were assassinated. Even with such a big incident, the eldest son of the Chen family did not show up."

When it comes to the coldness of human nature, it's you rich people who are the real masters.

Ye Tian looked up at the sky. Although he was exceptionally strong, one person's strength was ultimately no match for a large family.

If he wants to gain a foothold in Jiangcheng, he must take over the antique market.

This way, he will have enough say and enough confidence to face the four major families in the future.

"Ye Tian, ​​you might still have a chance to successfully take over the antique market."

"Win over Wang Yuyan, the eldest daughter of the Wang family, or that crazy beauty from the Meng family!"

"Murong Xue, what did you say?" Ye Tian thought he had misheard.

"Ye Tian, ​​I'm not joking with you."

I'm currently preoccupied with dealing with the Wang family and my second uncle, so the help I can offer you is very limited.

You need to grow up quickly, only then will you be able to protect yourself.

The antique market is a lucrative prize that all four major families covet.

If you can take over the antique market, you'll have a place in Jiangcheng.

But my second uncle has been eyeing the antique market for years, and he will definitely not let you get it so easily.

So you need to find help.

The only families who can help you are the Wang and Meng families.

Among the four major families, Wang Yuyan, the eldest daughter of the Wang family, is my best friend on the surface, but she actually wishes I would die sooner.

I was drugged at the KTV that day, and it was very likely she who did it.

"If you can win her over, you'll definitely beat my second uncle."

"Murong Xue, are you out of your mind? You want me to sleep with your nemesis, Wang Yuyan?"

Ye Tian looked at Murong Xue in disbelief. Was this a solution that a normal person would come up with?

"Ye Tian, ​​the best way to win over a woman is to sleep with her."

If you have the ability to seduce her, I'd be overjoyed.

A smile played on Murong Xue's lips, but a fleeting hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes, which she herself was unaware of.

"You're a lunatic too, can't you come up with a normal solution?"

Ye Tian rubbed his head. Was this all there was to this woman's mind? Was sacrificing her looks the only option?

"Why don't you try to gain the trust of the Wang family? But why should they trust you?"

"We're already being lucky not to beat you out; why would we help you?"

Murong Xue was telling the truth. The Wang family and Murong Qiming were cooperating, so how could they possibly help Ye Tian take over the antique market?

What's the situation with the Meng family?

"The Meng family is the most mysterious of the four major families in Jiangcheng. It is said to be a branch of the Meng family in the capital."

The Meng family is extremely low-key, yet they have produced an eccentric young lady.

It is said that the eldest daughter of the Meng family was abducted by human traffickers ten years ago. She single-handedly burned dozens of human traffickers to death.

She successfully rescued over a hundred abducted children; Miss Meng was only nine years old that year.

From that time on, Miss Meng became someone no one in Jiangcheng dared to mess with.

From then on, she seemed to vanish without a trace, completely disappearing from the public eye.

No one has seen her in the past ten years, no one knows where she is, and no one outside knows what she looks like.

Murong Xue shook her head with some regret.
