"Ye Xingchen." Liang Chenghu was so angry that he almost couldn't control himself. He stared at Ye Xingchen. In Jinling, no one had ever made him feel troublesome or difficult to deal with, but this person in front of him made him feel a sense of crisis for the first time in his life.
"President Liang, it's a pleasure to meet you again." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, walked into the room, and with a wave of his right hand, the door closed automatically.
Liang Chenghu gripped the gun tightly in his hand. He looked at a button on the coffee table, his emergency alarm button. If he pressed it, the bodyguards outside would rush in to save him.
Seemingly having guessed Liang Chenghu's thoughts, Ye Xingchen said calmly, "President Liang, I advise you not to waste your energy. The people you placed outside have all been dealt with by me. Now it's just the two of us here."
Liang Chenghu's expression faltered slightly. He slowly lowered the gun in his hand and then sat down opposite Ye Xingchen.
He knew that against a master like Ye Xingchen, his gun seemed to be of little use.
"Heh, I didn't expect you to actually come to my door like this, Ye Xingchen. Should I say you're bold, or that you're very courageous?" Liang Chenghu looked at Ye Xingchen coldly.
"Say what you will about me," Ye Xingchen said nonchalantly. "President Liang is a smart man. I think I don't need to waste my breath explaining why I'm here, do I?"
"You're here to kill me?" Liang Chenghu looked at Ye Xingchen with suspicion.
He didn't think Ye Xingchen would do that, because he was Liang Chenghu, the second master of the Liang family.
But he also felt it wasn't impossible, because Ye Xingchen was also a madman who never considered the consequences of his actions, and it couldn't be ruled out that he had indeed come here today to kill him.
"Second Master is a smart man. Why don't you guess why I'm here?" Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, casually took out a bottle of good wine and two glasses from the wine cabinet, poured two glasses of wine, and pushed one glass in front of Liang Chenghu.
"Now, if you want to kill me, you'd better think about what consequences you'll face." Liang Chenghu stared coldly at Ye Xingchen.
"What consequences will I have to bear?" Ye Xingchen asked back.
“If you kill me now, you will bear the wrath of the entire Liang family. My elder brother will fight you to the death at all costs.” Liang Chenghu sneered, “My life is not one that anyone can take so easily.”
"Aren't you overestimating your importance in Liang Chengji's heart?" Ye Xingchen laughed: "Second Master, in your eldest brother's eyes, you're nothing but a burden. You treat him as a brother, but he only sees you as a tool to save his own life. Don't you really have any self-awareness?"
"What did you say?" Liang Chenghu's face suddenly turned ugly.
“You’re a smart man, you understand what I mean.” Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, took a sip of wine, and praised, “Good wine, Second Master is a man who knows how to enjoy life.”
"I don't want to hear your nonsense. What exactly do you want?" Liang Chenghu stared at Ye Xingchen.
"Do I really have to say these things?" Ye Xingchen sighed. "Second Master and your eldest brother Liang Chengji are siblings from the same mother. He is a few minutes older than you, but he is able to take charge of the Liang family business."
"Liang Chengji is now high and mighty. In Jinling, the Liang family is revered, and how glorious it is for him to be the head of the Liang family!"
"What about you, Second Master? Although you are also a direct descendant of the Liang family, you were expelled from the Liang family by your patriarch twenty years ago because of some minor mistakes, and have since been known as an unfilial son. We both have the same surname, so why is there such a big difference?"
Liang Chenghu stared intently at Ye Xingchen, his fists clenched tightly. Ye Xingchen's words struck a nerve and hit the most painful spot in his heart.
Yes, they are brothers, but his elder brother Liang Chengji is high and mighty, the head of the most prestigious family in Jinling, and is respected wherever he goes.
And what about him? Ever since he made some mistakes and was expelled from the Liang family, his reputation has plummeted. In the eyes of the Liang family elders and the world, he is a scoundrel who has done all sorts of bad things.
Good reputations are borne by Liang Chengji, while all the blame falls on him. Is that fair? No, it's not.
"Second Master and Liang Chengji, originally only one of them could survive," Ye Xingchen said slowly. "But your mother couldn't bear to abandon either of them, so she spent a lot of money to buy a Taoist's folk remedy to extract the placenta from the wombs of dozens of people who had just formed.
"We prayed for your lives and saved them. It was at the cost of dozens of unborn babies that you two brothers were able to be born safely."
"But she was punished by God for this, and died after giving birth to you two brothers. You two brothers were born with heart defects, and if it weren't for the hospital ship in international waters, you probably wouldn't be alive today."
"How...how did you know?" Liang Chenghu's expression changed drastically. He stood up abruptly, veins bulging on his fists.
His gaze was fierce as he stared intently at Ye Xingchen, wishing he could tear Ye Xingchen apart and rip him apart.
His background and past are a secret. He has never met his mother, and he only learned about these things from the nanny who raised him from childhood.
It's safe to say that very few people in the world know his secret, yet Ye Xingchen can recount these things almost verbatim. How did he find out?
"Thirty percent of it was from inquiries, and seventy percent was determined from your birth chart and destiny." Ye Xingchen said with a faint smile, "Second Master, I wonder if what I said is correct?"
The shock on Liang Chenghu's face gradually turned into murderous intent. These things were considered taboo by him and his elder brother, but Ye Xingchen knew about them clearly, which made him put Ye Xingchen on the list of people who must die.
"I know that Second Master doesn't want others to know about what happened to him," Ye Xingchen said with a smile. "What I want to say is that Second Master's life has been full of hardships."
"Although they were born brothers, the old man of the Liang family favored Liang Chenghu from a young age and hated the second master. He felt that if the second master's mother had only kept one child, she might not have died from the karmic retribution."
"He also felt that if the two children were to be saved, your older brother should be the one to survive. You were the culprit who caused his wife's death, so he has had an extreme prejudice against you since childhood. No matter how hard you try, you can't get his approval, right?"
The veins on Liang Chenghu's forehead bulged. Ye Xingchen's few words had completely ignited the anger in his heart.
Yes, they were twins, but their fates were completely different.
From a young age, his grandfather poured countless resources into his older brother, nurturing him into a successful man.
He loathed himself, and if it weren't for his responsibility as a father, the other party would probably have kicked him out long ago.
