King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

"Brother-in-law... I know what you mean..."

Lin Yue sighed helplessly, "But... I'm afraid tomorrow's wedding will be affected. With Qi Yue'er's outburst, the entire Hu family will go crazy!"

"So what if I'm affected... Yueyue!"

I pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, in this life... misfortune can strike at any moment, and no one can predict what tomorrow will bring. When disaster strikes coldly, even turning back time by a second is a luxury... I think that allowing others to at least die with some understanding, to rediscover themselves, is a good deed in itself!"

"Ha...finding myself again!"

Lin Yue smiled wryly, "It's just that they found her a little too late... Now, how is Qi Yue'er going to live? Brother-in-law! I'm worried... that after you've brought this up, Hu Zhaojun might go to extremes and do something unpredictable!"

"Um......"

I frowned and nodded: "That's possible! But my second sister is always there for me, she's always watching me... Let her handle the aftermath."

"Ugh!"

Lin Yue smiled wryly, "You're going to work your second sister to death! I'm worried... that once Hu Zhaojun finds out he's also infected, he'll retaliate against you, maybe even against society... He won't let others live well either!"

"yes!"

I tapped my fingernails on the table and said, "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad... If he goes mad and seeks revenge, he will only bring about his own destruction..."

"Brother-in-law!"

Lin Yue frowned and pondered for a moment, then her eyes darted around as she said, "Your plan to ignite the Hu family's drama... I don't think it'll necessarily work!"

"Oh? Is that what you mean?" I asked, frowning.

"Try to put yourself in someone else's shoes..."

Lin Yue pondered for a moment and said, "I was just thinking... if I were Qi Yue'er and encountered such bad luck, my first reaction would definitely be... to go to the hospital for a checkup, and I wouldn't tell anyone. After the hospital results came out and confirmed... it really was positive, I would definitely beg you immediately! To tell you not to tell anyone! And then... she would probably think of running away!"

"Running away?"

"Otherwise what?"

Lin Yue rolled her eyes and said, "Brother-in-law, think about it... She's unlucky, but if this gets out, what will Hu Zhaojun and Hu Jinhu think? They definitely won't think they infected Qi Yue'er; instead, they'll think... Qi Yue'er infected them, because Qi Yue'er's background isn't clean to begin with... making her an easier suspect and the perfect scapegoat! At that point, Hu Zhaojun won't even care about bothering you anymore; his first reaction will be to kill Qi Yue'er! He'll think that Qi Yue'er infected their whole family, that she wanted to wipe out the Hu family! At that point... even if Qi Yue'er had a hundred mouths, she wouldn't be able to explain herself!"

"Hiss~!"

I gasped, "If that's the case... then all my efforts have been for nothing!"

"Otherwise what?"

Lin Yue frowned and said, "But I think the worst part isn't this..."

"What is that?"

"Yes... Qi Yue'er turned the tables and said that you infected her, so she infected her back..." Lin Yue frowned.

"She's talking nonsense! I'm a healthy person, how could I possibly infect her? Besides, I just met her!"

"Brother-in-law..."

Lin Yue sighed: "Think about it... what will Qi Yue'er, a woman, do when she can't change the other person's mind at all? She doesn't even know who infected her... can you be sure she doesn't have anyone else outside?"

She paused, then continued, "When faced with the Hu family's attack, the only way for her to protect herself is to betray you. Regardless of whether you're sick or not, they'll insist you were having an affair with them. What will you do then? And... considering Hu Zhaojun's character, he might suppress his anger and use a needle or something... to infect his sister, indirectly infecting you! Otherwise, they'll think, 'Why am I the one who suffers? If we're going to suffer, we'll all suffer together!'"

"Hiss~! Holy crap!"

I gasped, "Lin Yue... your reasoning ability is terrifying! I never thought about it this deeply before, but now that you mention it, I feel... it might actually be true!"

"Of course..."

Lin Yue's eyes darted around: "What I'm saying is the worst-case scenario, but I think... Qi Yue'er wouldn't be that stupid! Stupid enough to put herself in a situation where she can't defend herself! She'll definitely go to the hospital for a checkup immediately, and once she gets the results and gives up, she'll run away with the money... vanish into thin air! This disease is scary, but if treated well, it can almost be treated as a chronic illness and won't significantly affect her lifespan. Although Qi Yue'er isn't as wealthy as you, she's made quite a bit over the years, enough to live on for the rest of her life, so... running away is her most likely option!"

"Of course!"

She paused, then continued, "Before she ran away, she would definitely beg you to shut up and not tell anyone! Brother-in-law, don't blame me for saying this... this move of yours was a terrible one! It's like stirring up a hornet's nest!"

"Tsk! Sigh!"

I let out a long, frustrated sigh: "If you hadn't said it... I wouldn't have thought of it either. Now that I think about it, it really is true! I thought Qi Yue'er would make a scene."

"She's making a fuss!"

Lin Yue shook her head with a wry smile: "She's just a puppet. She has no say in the Hu family. To put it bluntly, she's just a tool. Right now... she should have already started planning her escape route!"

At this point, Lin Yue stood up, paced back and forth, and said thoughtfully, "I was thinking, if I were her, I definitely wouldn't even bother with a check-up, I'd just run away, immediately buy an international flight ticket, and leave, only getting checked once I got abroad..."

"Why?" I asked, frowning.

"They're afraid they won't be able to escape!"

Lin Yue paced back and forth, saying, "If I were Qi Yue'er, I think... calling you to tell you not to leak this would be like asking a tiger for its skin—it's pointless! You dote on Hu Zhaohua so much, you'd definitely tell your wife about it immediately... Of course, this is from Qi Yue'er's perspective. Whether she's really sick or not, she should run away first to ensure her safety. If she's not sick and the test results are wrong, even better! She can just pretend she's on a temporary business trip. If she is sick, she can immediately cut off all ties in China and quietly live and get treatment abroad..."

"Ugh!"

I said with a wry smile, "It's all my fault! Originally... I wanted to use her as a fuse to ignite the Hu family's powder keg, but now, the fuse has run away on its own..."

"Yes, brother-in-law, there's another floor!"

Lin Yue stopped and frowned, saying, "You forgot about Second Sister!"

"Second Sister?"

"Yeah! Hehe!"

Lin Yue smiled wryly, "Don't forget, your second sister... has been watching you the whole time. She sees everything that's happening in this room... I think Hu Zhaohua can't escape at all; she's probably already under your second sister's control..."

"Yes! That's very possible!"

I frowned and sighed, "My second sister probably already realized I was planning to ignite the Hu family's scheme... but she hasn't contacted me, which means... she's playing along with it..."

"Ugh!"

Lin Yue smiled and shook her head: "Put yourself in her shoes, think from the Second Miss's perspective... You, her younger brother, really don't give her any peace of mind. The wedding is tomorrow, and you've arranged such a big show for her. She'll be very busy..."

"Then... how will Second Sister deal with Qi Yue'er?"

"Ha! What can we do?"

Lin Yue smiled wryly, "Deal with Xu Meiling the same way you'd deal with her! Take her under your wing, turn her against you, make her your dog... I reckon that's what the Second Miss is thinking. Since you've already exposed the truth, then turn this bad thing into a good thing, directly turn Qi Yue'er against you, make her work for you. Otherwise... the Second Miss will insist that Qi Yue'er brought the illness. Think about it... the Second Miss's methods of threatening people are much better than yours. At that point... I'm afraid Qi Yue'er will be even more loyal to the Second Miss than Xu Meiling!"

"yes!"

I sighed deeply: "Second Sister is doing Xu Meiling a favor... but for Qi Yue'er, it's a blatant threat. If Qi Yue'er doesn't obey... then she'll throw Qi Yue'er back into the Hu family, frame her, and have Qi Yue'er torn to pieces by those hyenas of the Hu family!"

I paused for a moment, then continued, "Lin Yue! I didn't realize... your analytical and reasoning abilities were so strong! I really underestimated you..."

"snort!"

Lin Yue gave a coquettish snort: "In your memory, I'm still that high school student who pushes my bicycle to tutoring classes every day, and all these years I've been eating for nothing... right? Brother-in-law, let me tell you, I'm much more cunning than my sister. My sister, well, she just loves you naively! Unlike me, she's not good at using her brain!"

"Don't talk about your sister like that..."

I lit a cigarette and took a deep drag: "Your sister... she's a woman of great wisdom, but I definitely miscalculated today..."

I had barely finished speaking when the door to the room was pushed open, and a familiar figure stood in the doorway...

"Redman!" I exclaimed in surprise.
