The next day, Chu Wuyang still didn't get out of bed, her face was pale, and her brows were slightly furrowed.
The nurse came in on time to take her blood pressure and check her physical condition.
Chu Wuyang looked at Jin Qilin as if he were following the old man's orders.
I stood to the side the whole time, my eyes glued to all the data.
He carefully reviewed the records, leaving no page unchecked, and meticulously examined even the annotations in the notes.
He was being diligent and responsible, apparently so that he could better report his work to Mr. Jin.
She stroked her stomach, suppressing the hatred in her heart. Now was not the time to be sad; she had to quickly pull herself together, adjust her emotions, and deal with them.
After the medical staff finished their routine work and left, Jin Qilin also prepared to get up and leave.
Chu Wuyang called out to him, her tone neither warm nor cold.
But it carried a hint of an unintentional smile.
"You've handled each and every matter quite properly; you're no less capable than Jingmin."
"Why has the old man never considered you?"
Her words clearly carried a hint of flattery.
Jin Qilin paused,
The mask of humility and consideration that had been on his face loosened slightly, and he no longer tried to conceal his true feelings.
It was as if they had finally seized an opportunity to prove themselves.
He chuckled softly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, and his tone turned cold.
"Naturally, it's because I don't have a maternal grandmother with a strong background."
He looked at Chu Wuyang on the hospital bed and said slowly.
“Jing Min has the powerful influence left by his maternal grandmother. Those people are incredibly loyal and each one is a force to be reckoned with.”
"It is said that they are all top figures in their respective fields, advising him and, if necessary... even willing to sacrifice their lives for him."
As he said this, he couldn't hide the envy in his eyes.
Chu Wuyang's expression was ambiguous, as if he were smiling but not smiling.
"So you're saying that it's precisely because of this power that the old man values him?"
"nature."
Jin Qilin did not hesitate.
"Although the old man values him, he is also wary of him."
“If Jingmin doesn’t bring this force back to the Jin family, the old man won’t keep him at all.”
His tone suddenly lowered, tinged with sarcasm.
"The old man was feeling guilty."
"Back then, in order to become the head of the Jin family, he married a woman he didn't love and betrayed his first wife."
"If Jingmin listens to slander and talks about how the old man mistreated his grandmother and mother, and then strives to become stronger so that he can use that power to take revenge on the Jin family—when the old man's health fails and the Jin family is leaderless, it may not be able to stop him."
He paused, then continued.
“But if Jingmin returns to the Jin family, things will be different.”
"He has to fight and strategize, which will inevitably deplete that force and weaken it to almost nothing."
"The old man has a very shrewd plan."
Jin Qilin's eyes turned cold.
"He saw it very clearly: Jing Min's return to the Jin family would only lead to two outcomes—either defeat, in which case the family's power would crumble, and the old man would have no more worries."
"The other one is that Jingmin will successfully become the head of the family, which would be even more to the old man's liking."
"By then, Jingmin will have become the head of the family, so there will be no need for revenge. Instead, he can lead the Jin family to continue to prosper."
"The old man was convinced that Jingmin had the ability to lead the Jin family to the peak of the next era, which is the fundamental reason why he insisted on having Jingmin return to the Jin family."
"What if Jingmin doesn't come back?" Chu Wuyang asked.
Jin Qilin sneered.
"Then his fate is death."
"This is why the old man allowed Jin Zhuoer and Jin Bolin to kill Jing Min."
"It would be best if they killed each other, then the old man could reap the benefits."
His tone was indifferent.
"No matter how you fight or how you calculate, in the end the old man will always benefit."
"This is the brilliance of the strategists."
Chu Wuyang didn't think there was anything particularly clever about it.
The emotion in her eyes gradually turned cold, leaving only a chilling malice in her heart.
These people, even if they are related by blood, will not hesitate to push their relatives into a fire pit for their own benefit.
He turned around and coldly watched their battle.
She stared at Jin Qilin for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"So, you mean... if you had Jing Min's influence, you could also compete for the position of head of the Jin family?"
Jin Qilin's expression changed slightly, and his tone unconsciously became somewhat excited.
"What do you mean?"
Chu Wuyang gave a cold laugh—he clearly understood, but he just didn't dare to admit it.
She decided to lay it all out on the table.
"How about I lend you a hand and help you gain Jing Min's power so you can take the position of head of the Jin family?"
Jin Qilin shook his head, his voice low and hoarse but resolute.
"Impossible. Those people are Jing Min's most loyal henchmen. How could you possibly bribe them?"
"You are no match for them."
Chu Wuyang sat opposite him, her expression calm in the lamplight, observing his self-assured yet wary demeanor.
It's like watching a poorly executed performance.
She tilted her head slightly, feigning an innocent and troubled expression.
"What else can we do?"
Just as she had predicted, Jin Qilin took the bait, raising an eyebrow slightly, his tone half inquiring and half probing.
"Actually... there are other ways."
Chu Wuyang lowered her eyes, concealing the cold smile within them, and paused slightly.
He spoke as if casually,
"Oh? Then how do we do it?"
Her tone was languidly gentle, but her eyes held a calculating glint.
Jin Qilin was struck by one of her words.
Staring at her charming appearance, his eyes were slightly dazed, and he was momentarily stunned.
