"So I predicted that this day would come sooner or later, so I placed people around you early on."
Zhou Minggan fell silent. He never expected that his long-planned scheme would end like this.
Everything about him was under Zhou Kunsheng's control, and he was like a clown jumping around.
“Second brother, I actually regret leading you down this path. You are very smart, and if you had used your intelligence for the right thing, you would have achieved great things.” Zhou Kunsheng sighed.
“Some roads, once you embark on them, there’s no turning back,” Zhou Kunsheng sighed.
"Do you really think you've won?" Zhou Minggan suddenly laughed. "I've been preparing for so long, how could I not have a backup plan?"
"Oh, so you did make two preparations. You found outside help, didn't you? A group of mercenaries from Jinluo City, right?"
"You know all this?" Zhou Minggan's gaze paused slightly.
“They were 15 kilometers away from here, and they have already been eliminated by our special police.” Zhou Kunsheng said calmly, “Moreover, several of them were internationally wanted criminals. You’ve given the local police a credit.”
"You, you..." Zhou Minggan lost his composure. He tried to rush forward, but was held down firmly. He roared, "Zhou Kunsheng... Zhou Kunsheng, can't you give me a break just this once?"
"From childhood to adulthood, you've always won. I'm no match for you in terms of cunning or intelligence. I'm you, can't you just let me win this once?"
Zhou Minggan was forced to the ground, his head rubbed against the earth, and he burst into tears, crying out, "Why? Why did I lose so miserably?"
“Second son, as I said before,” Zhou Kunsheng sighed, “you are very smart, but if you had used your intelligence for the right purpose, our Zhou family could have risen to a higher level. It’s a pity.”
"I haven't lost yet, I still have a trump card." As if remembering something, Zhou Minggan struggled to his feet and roared, "I have a sorcerer on my side."
"Are you talking about Master Guli?" Ye Xingchen's voice came through: "Sorry, I dealt with him half an hour ago."
"Ye Xingchen? You're still alive? What about Master Guli? Did you take care of him?" Zhou Minggan stared at Ye Xingchen in astonishment, a chill running down his spine.
Now that Ye Xingchen has appeared here, the fate of Master Guli is predictable. All his hopes have been dashed, and he has no more trump cards left.
"A mere sorcerer thinks he can fight me? Do you think that's realistic?" Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "Just cooperate, and your older brother won't do anything to you."
Zhou Minggan immediately looked like a wilted eggplant; his eyes were lifeless, his hair was disheveled, and he let the people around him take him away.
This farce has now come to a complete end.
"Mr. Ye, thank you very much." Zhou Kunsheng bowed to Ye Xingchen and said, "If it weren't for you dealing with that sorcerer, the other side would definitely have turned their anger on me."
"It's alright. Anyway, that guy wasn't a good person. Killing him is like doing a service to the people." Ye Xingchen said, "We haven't found the mastermind."
"The person Jin Luocheng sent, we didn't find him?" Zhou Kunsheng looked at Ye Xingchen with some surprise: "Did he escape, or did he get advance notice?"
“The people of Jinluo City have always been cunning,” Ye Xingchen said. “When I arrived, that guy had already sensed something was up and made a quick getaway. Only that mage stayed behind to deal with me, but I’ve already taken care of him.”
"Hello, Mr. Ye, I'll interrogate Ming Gan tonight and see if we can get anything out of him." Zhou Kunsheng nodded solemnly.
That night, Zhou Minggan was locked in a small, dark room.
Ye Xingchen decided to talk to this guy himself. Looking at Zhou Minggan's lifeless appearance, he couldn't help but laugh: "Look at yourself now, what's the difference between you and a homeless person on the street?"
"Hehe... Ye Xingchen." Zhou Minggan couldn't help but laugh: "I'm a loser, what kind of person do you expect from me?"
"Do you really think I can still be as spirited as before? How could that be?"
"I guess I misjudged you. I used to think you were someone who never gave up." Ye Xingchen smiled. "But now it seems that's not the case."
“I am indeed not convinced.” Zhou Minggan said through gritted teeth, “I had everything planned out. If you hadn’t appeared, I would have already taken control of the Zhou family.”
"You're overthinking it." Ye Xingchen glanced at him. "In front of your older brother, you'll always be a younger brother."
"The difference in strength between you and your older brother is like heaven and earth. You're really outmatched when it comes to fighting him."
Zhou Minggan's lips trembled; he was furious.
Finally, he took a deep breath and asked the person next to him for a cigarette.
He took a deep drag, then exhaled a smoke ring: "Tell me, what information do you want from me?"
"Who sent the person from Jinluo City? Where is he now?" Ye Xingchen asked bluntly. "You still have one chance. Tell me the other party's identity, and I can ask your elder brother to treat you leniently."
"Haha, don't try that on me, it won't work." Zhou Ming laughed dryly: "My older brother's decisions are never changed because of anyone else."
"Besides, he's my brother. Even if I make a mistake, he'll find a way to keep me here. My best outcome now is to be locked up in one place by him until I die."
"Are you content with that?" Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and said leisurely, "You've always been an ambitious person. If I locked you up in one place to die of old age, I'm afraid you wouldn't die in peace, would you?"
“Yes, I will die with my eyes open.” Zhou Minggan clenched his fists tightly and said through gritted teeth, “But what can I do? I am a loser, and as a loser, I must bear the consequences of being a loser.”
“You’re actually quite smart, you just haven’t taken the right path,” Ye Xingchen said. “I own a company called Xingchen Group, and I’m going to expand into overseas markets.”
“Your courage and insight are among the best I’ve ever met. If you’re interested, I can hand this business over to you.”
"Are you serious?" Zhou Ming stared at Ye Xingchen, then sneered, "You won't believe me."
"Of course I don't believe you, but you are indeed a talented person." Ye Xingchen said, "You might as well consider this: either be monitored for the rest of your life and die a mediocre death, or go overseas and make a name for yourself with your intelligence."
Zhou Minggan was silent for a moment, then said, "The person who came to liaise with me is named Huang Tai, Jin Xiang's most capable subordinate."
