[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have captured Lin Xue, one of the protagonist's harem members. You have gained 5000 Qi Luck, and the protagonist has the remaining Qi Luck.]

Xia Muge stared blankly at Lin Xue lying beside him.
Winning over Lin Xue was much easier than he had imagined.
Although Lin Xue was proud, reality eventually crushed her.
To be honest, this is quite interesting.
Reality forces a person to break their self-esteem and backbone, just like their life before they were bound to the system.
Xia Muge recalled that before he turned eighteen, he also lived a life where he was barely clothed.
In order to improve his life, he even deceived some young girls, making them support him, and he used his good looks to provide them with some emotional comfort.
To be honest, he and Lin Xue are essentially the same kind of people.
This shared pity filled him with a sense of compassion.
Lin Xue is actually innocent.
She didn't have the ability to bankrupt Xia Muge; the blame lies with the author of this book, who predetermined everyone's fate from the very beginning.
However, this idea only flashed through my mind for a moment.
He's already feeling good enough; there's no need for him to be filled with complicated emotions.
Lin Xue, who was on the side, had already fallen into a deep sleep.
She was exhausted from all the torment, and she was also tired from crying.
The girl's eyes were a little red and swollen; she had taken a shower earlier and washed away all the unclean things on her body.
But she still wanted to lie next to him and please him.
Afterwards, Xia Muge felt pleased and comfortable, and she was able to rest.
The girl was sleeping in a very good position, her body slightly curled up, revealing her unease.
Xia Muge was not a very gentle person; he left sadistic marks all over her body.
Even when she was asleep, she was still frowning.
The next morning, Lin Xue woke up groggily.
Xia Muge was gone; in her place were a bank card and a note beside the pillow.
There's ten million inside, the password is six zeros. Let's cut off contact after this, I'm getting engaged.
You take care of your own safety; I don't want the burden or trouble.
Xia Muge ruthlessly abandoned Lin Xue.
To him, Lin Xue was just the original owner's obsession; now that he had experienced it, it was nothing special.
Ten million is definitely a high price, and neither party owes the other anything.
Lin Xue looked at the note, tears welling up in her eyes.
She knew that Xia Muge's actions were right, and she also knew that the money Xia Muge gave her was already generous enough.
This ten million is enough for her and her family to get through the crisis.
After that, the two should also break off their relationship.
But suddenly she felt so unwilling.
His self-esteem and soul were trampled beyond repair.
…
…
Ye Feng's cooperation with the Jiang family went very smoothly.
Three years ago, after Xia Muge offended the Xia family, he pursued Lin Xue while dealing with the Jiang family. He then trampled on the Jiang family's enormous corpses, thus rising rapidly in rank.
On that occasion, Jiang Xiong, the head of the Jiang family, fell ill due to long-term overwork and anger, and his son Jiang Yang had to take over.
Jiang Yang wanted to launch a counterattack against the Xia family, but the gap between them had already widened, so he could only rely on marriage to prevent the Jiang family from going bankrupt.
However, even a dead tiger retains its might, and the same principle applies to the Jiang family.
Although the Jiang family has fallen on hard times, they still have connections.
Ye Feng chose the Jiang family because he valued their connections.
Now that Ning Yu has developed a dislike for Ye Feng, he won't go looking for her. Instead, he creates a chance encounter, pretending to be a miracle doctor, and is then taken to the hospital by Jiang Yang to treat Jiang Xiong.
Jiang Xiong recovered quickly.
Ye Feng's efforts to establish a relationship with the Jiang family revealed their shared hatred of Xia Muge, and sure enough, the Jiang family decided to take revenge on Xia Muge.
Whether it was due to the protagonist's halo or not, they started investing in Ye Feng, helping him establish a company, and then helping him build connections.
Even without Old Master Bai's birthday banquet as a stage, he still managed to get back on track with the plot.
In addition, in order to cover for Ye Feng, the Jiang family frequently took action against the projects that the Xia family was involved in.
It's fair to say that the Jiang family is preparing to declare war on the Xia family this time.
The other families watched coldly, mocking the Jiang family's overestimation of their own abilities.
Three years ago, the Jiang family was slightly stronger than the Xia family, but they were ultimately defeated by the Xia family. Now, the Xia family has become a behemoth.
However, just as they were mocking when the Jiang family would go bankrupt, Ye Feng actually persuaded seven families, including the Bai family, to form an alliance through the Jiang family to bring down the Xia family.
Their first target was the Qin family.
They wanted to attack the Qin family first, making them a lifeline for the Xia family and causing the Xia family to bleed out.
Or perhaps it was an attempt to sow discord between them regarding their marriage alliance.
Of course, the Qin family is not someone to be trifled with.
As the female strategist of the Qin family, Qin Shuhua was naturally not someone to be trifled with.
The Qin family maintained a defensive stance against the combined attack from these groups.
Then, she went to the Xia Group alone, hoping to control the Xia Group and bring these people down.
"These people are clearly targeting the Xia family; the Qin family has been used as a shield."
Qin Shuhua paused for a moment and said, "I need to take charge of the Xia Group for a period of time, and I need your cooperation at the very least."
This request is a bit excessive. If Qin Shuhua weren't Xia Muge's fiancée, she would have been thrown out long ago.
Xia Muge seemed thoughtful and said, "That's not impossible, but I'm thinking about something. Could this be a trap?"
"What kind of trap?" Qin Shuhua couldn't help but ask.
"If the Xia family defeats all these families, does that mean that the Xia family already has the power to shake the entire capital, or even the foundation of the nation?"
Xia Muge is not cryptic.
When a business group reaches a certain size, it will inevitably attract the attention of the state.
At that time, it was like cooking oil over a raging fire.
Qin Shuhua's face paled slightly.
If they wait until the higher-ups notice, then even if the Xia Group wins, it will have lost.
In the novel's plot, the Xia Group goes bankrupt very quickly.
It's like multiple projects ran into problems one after another, causing the cash flow to break down, and then the banks withdrew their loans, so the huge family just disappeared.
But in reality, real corporations don't go bankrupt that quickly.
This can only mean that there was some unspeakable force behind it that caused the Xia family to go bankrupt.
Xia Muge's words made Qin Shuhua serious.
"So, what do you mean?"
"Let the bullets fly for a while."
A mocking smile appeared on Xia Muge's lips.
Ye Feng wanted to bring down the Xia family in this way, but he wasn't without options.
Don't forget, he's the man who holds the script.
