On what grounds? On what grounds is this?

Just because Xiao Qinghan was born a few minutes earlier than him, does that mean all the good things in life have to be his?

He was unwilling to accept it.

In order to win Fang Wanxin's heart, he postponed his plan to replace Xiao Qinghan.

After all, Fang Wanxin was Xiao Qinghan's childhood sweetheart and grew up with her. Compared to outsiders, she was more familiar with Xiao Qinghan's every move. He couldn't be careless, not only for the sake of the Xiao family's property, but also for the sake of having Fang Wanxin for a long time.

He continued to stay by Xiao Qinghan's side, wearing large sunglasses. This time, he not only imitated Xiao Qinghan's walking posture and way of speaking, but also paid more attention to his expressions and many other details.

For example, he clearly saw that Xiao Qinghan liked to drink a sip of soup before eating noodles, and he imitated this detail very well.

Before he could fully capture the essence of Xiao Qinghan's spirit, Xiao Qinghan married Fang Wanxin, which saddened him greatly.

How could he not be heartbroken? How could he not be saddened? The first woman he ever loved in his life married someone else.

Seeing Xiao Qinghan's increasingly happy appearance after her marriage, the venomous snake coiled in his heart instantly swelled into a giant python, and the venom it spewed out completely extinguished the little conscience he had left.

Xiao Qinghan was unaware of the immense disaster her good intentions had brought her.

His driver was bribed by Wang Gousheng with a large sum of money, and Xiao Qinghan was easily captured by him. Moreover, apart from Xiao Qinghan's driver, no one else knew that he had kidnapped Xiao Qinghan.

Actually, calling it a kidnapping is inappropriate, because what Wang Gousheng wanted was not ransom; he existed to replace Xiao Qinghan.

More than tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, he wants something more and something that will last longer.

Xiao Qinghan was still completely bewildered when Wang Gousheng tied her to a pillar in an abandoned warehouse.

Wang Gousheng looked at Xiao Qinghan with eyes full of sarcasm, "Xiao Qinghan, how can someone as foolish as you be worthy of being the head of the Xiao family? You've enjoyed wealth and honor for so many years, it's time for you to step down!"

Xiao Qinghan looked at the dagger Wang Gousheng had pulled out and then understood what was going on. She asked him, "You want to kill me?"

Wang Gousheng sneered as he looked Xiao Qinghan up and down. "Xiao Qinghan, I told you you're stupid, but you won't admit it. Now you're just a piece of meat on the chopping block. Why do you still think I want to kill you? Haven't you ever thought about why I want to kill you?"

"You want to replace me!" Xiao Qinghan was only refined and cultured, and his magnanimity did not mean he was truly stupid. "You want to be the head of the Xiao family!"

As Wang Gousheng's gleaming dagger lightly grazed Xiao Qinghan's face, he laughed heartily. "Xiao Qinghan, you're still not smart enough. You only guessed one thing right. I want to replace you in this world, and more importantly, I want to be Wanxin's husband for life. To tell you the truth, from the first moment I saw Wanxin, I fell in love with her. I swear, I will marry her in this lifetime!"

Xiao Qinghan maintained his composure as a young master from a wealthy family. Even when tied to a pillar and threatened with a dagger by Wang Gousheng, he remained unfazed. However, the moment Fang Wanxin was mentioned, he immediately became agitated. "You want to lay your hands on Wanxin? You're like a toad trying to eat swan meat. You'll never get your wish in this lifetime!"

"You think I'll ever get what I want in this lifetime?!" Wang Gousheng sneered. His hand, which had only been gesturing at Xiao Qinghan's face without actually bringing down the knife, suddenly exerted force, and a large gash appeared on Xiao Qinghan's face, from which bright red blood immediately gushed out.

"Xiao Qinghan! You said I would never marry Fang Wanxin in my entire life? It seems you're wrong again. Fang Wanxin is already Xiao Qinghan's wife. In other words, as long as Xiao Qinghan is who he is, Fang Wanxin will be his wife."

When Wang Gousheng said those words, his facial expression and tone were exactly the same as Xiao Qinghan's. Even Xiao Qinghan himself was stunned when he saw it. He looked at Wang Gousheng as if he were looking at himself in a mirror.

"Wang Gousheng!" This was the first time Xiao Qinghan had called Wang Gousheng by his full name since she acknowledged him as her biological brother. "No matter how perfect your plan is, I will always believe one thing!"

Wang Gousheng knew that Xiao Qinghan wouldn't say anything nice at this moment, but he was still curious to hear what he had to say. "Tell me, which statement do you still believe in?"

"I firmly believe..." Xiao Qinghan drawled, "that evil cannot prevail over good!"

"Is that so?" Wang Gousheng sneered sinisterly. "Very well, I've never believed in that saying. Why don't we take a gamble and see if evil can truly prevail over good in this world?"

Instead of killing Xiao Qinghan with a single blow, Wang Gousheng took him back to the Xiao family and locked him in the cellar he had secretly dug.

For some unknown reason, perhaps because he felt increasingly unbalanced after coming to Xiao Qinghan's side, he wanted to make Xiao Qinghan, who had enjoyed a life of luxury for many years, taste the life he had lived back then. The cellar he dug up was exactly the same as the small house that Ma Caiyu had imprisoned him in.

After Xiao Qinghan was locked up, he would never see the sunlight again. As for food, he was given rice porridge and pickled vegetables, just like he ate when he was a child, and was given two meals a day.

While he was dealing with Xiao Qinghan, Fang Wanxin happened to be on a business trip to another city. When she returned, her husband, who had the same face, tone of voice, walking posture, and facial expression as before, was a completely different person.

That evening, Wang Gousheng, who had already replaced Xiao Qinghan in front of the world, had dinner alone with Fang Wanxin. After all, she was the woman he deeply loved, and he had changed his plans for her sake, so he was still a little nervous.
