Yang Jinchu turned his head to look at her. This reaction was all too familiar. He could tell at a glance that she was hiding something.

"You saw it too,"

His tone was casual, yet every word was compelling.

"He already has a wife and seems to be doing well. Isn't this exactly what you wanted to see?"

Chu Wuyang's eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Um"

"Then why are you still making that face?"

His voice lowered slightly.

"Don't look like you've been dumped and are resentful... You wouldn't want to interfere and become a mistress, would you?"

Chu Wuyang immediately sat up straight, her face darkening, her delicate brows furrowing.

"Of course not."

Yang Jinchu chuckled softly.

"That's good."

He paused, then spoke as if casually.

"But speaking of which, what is Jingmin doing back so suddenly this time?"

“I heard that his position as head of the Jin family is not yet secure, and it is a critical moment. Now that he has left the chiefdom, many people who are watching him in the shadows are hoping that he will never come back.”

Chu Wuyang said in a low voice,

"That's what I find strange."

"Mo Sangyu said he came back to attend Old Madam Jiang's funeral, but... his relationship with the old lady wasn't close to begin with, so how could he risk his life for this?"

Yang Jinchu's gaze fell ahead, and he scoffed.

"Yes, he did come back in person, but his attitude towards the funeral... I can't really say he cared."

He paused, then continued.

“I just came back from the sanatorium. They only set up a simple farewell hall there. It’s really rudimentary. Given Jingmin’s current status and position, it’s really inappropriate for him to hold such a funeral for his own grandmother.”

"Some of the old lady's relatives raised objections on the spot, but I heard that Jing Min remained unmoved. He even made a brief appearance and never showed up again."

Chu Wuyang's expression tightened slightly, and he spoke in a low voice:

"You think... he came back to seek revenge?"

Jing Min left in such a sorry state; given his vengeful nature, it's hard for Chu Wuyang not to think that way.

Yang Jinchu chuckled softly, as if soothing an unnecessary panic.

"Don't worry, although it's not impossible,"

"But as it stands, his elaborate journey back to China, risking an ambush, is certainly not just for the sake of attending a funeral, but more likely to cover up some unspeakable arrangements."

"But as you can see, his overall demeanor—he clearly doesn't care that much anymore."

He shrugged slightly, his tone nonchalant.

"If I really wanted revenge, I would have done it already."

Chu Wuyang frowned, still harboring doubts.

Even if he lets me go... what about business?

"Back then, the last remaining assets of his Boyifang were taken over by the Chu family. Doesn't he feel too humiliated? Now that he has the means, is he planning to take back everything he lost?"

"It's unlikely. His attitude doesn't suggest it. With his current power, why would he need to put on any pretense of respectability? Even if he wanted to take action against the Chu family, he wouldn't need to exert any effort at all."

Yang Jinchu shook his head, his tone calm and resolute.

"He is now the head of the Kim family, and his focus has long been on overseas markets. Given the current size of the Kim family, they certainly wouldn't be interested in the resources available domestically."

"If it really came down to a fight, he wouldn't even need to personally take action."

He paused slightly, as if to remind him.

"Moreover, if he really intends to seize the resources of the Chu family and even the major families in Haicheng, he only needs to let out a little word and those people will have to come to him willingly. There is no need to rush."

Chu Wuyang grew increasingly alarmed, as if something was stuck in his throat.

The more she thought about it, the more something seemed off—Jing Min's expression was too calm, as if he were waiting for a long-planned counterattack.

Yang Jin glanced at her, his tone softening.

"Alright, stop scaring yourself."

"If he really sets his sights on the Chu family's resources, we'll just give them to him. Anyway, the Chu family still has a way out in Australia."

He paused after speaking, then added in a low voice as if unintentionally,

"I'm afraid... what he wants isn't resources, but people."
