How is she supposed to answer such a question?
How could that possibly be answered?
Chu Wei was just waiting to see Chu Ruoxue lose face.
It must be said that Chu Wei's questions were reasonable and well-founded, and at first glance they made a lot of sense. Chu Ruoxue also admitted that she had indeed failed to lead the Chu family and to continue to carry forward its glory.
But why?
She just mentioned that the five major families in Yuzhou check and balance each other. What is that they rely on?
If the Chu family develops independently and becomes dominant, what will the other four families think? What will the Chu family face then?
Chu Wei clearly hadn't thought of any of this, but Chu Ruoxue had. She couldn't let the Chu family become a piece of fat meat in other people's eyes, with everyone wanting to take a slice.
If one person can't do it, what about four people working together?
Or is she going to lead the Chu family to fight against four opponents alone?
Even the Luo family of Rongcheng wouldn't dare to directly say they would annihilate the five major families of Yuzhou.
The turmoil and unexpected events that will occur at that time are beyond what we can imagine or fully consider now, and they will definitely not be good for development.
The old saying goes, "A war can be won without bloodshed," and that's the reason why...
Chu Wei was clearly short-sighted, yet he refused to admit it and even spoke with righteous indignation.
As for using the old man's illness as an excuse, that's even more ridiculous.
Chu Wei still doesn't know what illness the old man has, so how could he understand why there is no cure?
For a large family, if the leader's health deteriorates, it is very bad news. Of course, they would try to keep it a secret as much as possible. Would they really want to spread it around and make others use it as an opportunity to attack them?
Then, talking about Qin Yiheng...
Chu Ruoxue gave a meaningful smile and answered Chu Wei's last question.
"Didn't you find out this later too, and that's why you broke up with him? Do you dare deny it?"
"I dare."
Chu Ruoxue answered.
What? You dare?
Chu Wei didn't react for a moment.
By the time he had a chance to think it over carefully, Chu Ruoxue had already changed the question.
This time, her voice was much calmer, and she no longer had the same aggressive and domineering aura as before.
"So this is why you wanted to cooperate with Qin Yiheng to turn against me, but ended up getting yourself into trouble?"
Faced with Chu Ruoxue's sudden change in attitude, Chu Wei remained in a daze, his brain sluggish even when she was saying something.
Who is targeting whom, and who has dragged whom into this mess?
"Mr. Chu, surely you don't have such a bad memory?"
A familiar male voice rang out, which was like a bolt from the blue for Chu Wei. He hadn't heard this voice many times, but it was deeply etched in his mind because it was Qin Yiheng's voice.
Why is Qin Yiheng here?
This question is now on Chu Wei's mind.
But there were too many possibilities, and he couldn't figure out the most likely one in a short time. However, subconsciously he knew that some things were getting too out of his control and things were developing very strangely...
"Mr. Chu must be very troubled right now. Why is it that his plan has only just begun, and hasn't even taken shape yet, but it's already been targeted by the Han family? Moreover, Han Mingzhi has brought so many people to attack directly. On the other hand, the Chu family's main branch, which should be facing problems, has remained peaceful. Any minor conflicts or issues have passed quickly..."
Qin Yiheng walked in from outside. He was still the same as before, tall and slender with an extraordinary air about him. But upon closer inspection, he seemed no different from an ordinary person. Yet, this very similarity gave you a strange feeling that he was extraordinary.
Since I met Qin Yiheng, he has rarely spoken such a long sentence.
As he spoke, he walked over and stood next to Chu Ruoxue, and the two of them suddenly felt like they were a perfect match.
Chu Wei felt as if he had been struck by lightning; he understood everything.
These two were acting and deceiving themselves from the very beginning, and now their act is finally over.
"Haha, hahahaha..."
Without needing to say anything more, Chu Wei suddenly burst into laughter. The laughter was so shrill that tears almost streamed down his face, and he could barely stand.
After a while, Chu Wei gave a very fair evaluation: "You two are pretty good, you acted quite well."
"You're not bad either. In all this time, we haven't been able to find much dirt on you, which is why we have to put everything together." Qin Yiheng praised without reservation.
These words were extremely grating to Chu Wei's ears.
"Since you were all prepared, what else is there to say?" Chu Wei sneered.
"Since you understand this in your heart, then obediently surrender and come back to my family to admit your mistake," Chu Ruoxue coldly ordered.
Chu Wei seemed not to hear at all, but his words proved that he had taken them to heart.
"Surrender? Admit your mistake? You're dreaming! Now it's your feet on my turf. Do you think I'll let you leave so easily?"
"Guards!" Chu Wei gave the order, and Chu Ruolin immediately led her men in.
Chu Ruoxue's arrival could not be kept secret from Chu Ruolin, but since Chu Ruoxue did not speak to him, this gave Chu Ruolin time to prepare.
Previously, Chu Wei would not have been so arrogant, after all, his men had suffered heavy casualties after clashing with the Han family.
But things are different now; he still has Peng Meijie's people here.
Qin Yiheng is the only one, and he has to protect Chu Ruoxue. Even if they were prepared, do they really think it would be so easy to get away unscathed?
Since the facade has already been torn off, there's no point in worrying about anything else.
Chu Wei thought that he might as well go all the way and kill Chu Ruoxue now!
If Qin Yiheng is obedient and compliant, then he can be spared. After all, Chu Wei genuinely admires Qin Yiheng's abilities. But if he insists that so-called human relationships and morality are more important, then Chu Wei can guarantee that he will die as miserably as Chu Ruoxue...
To fulfill his foolish idea of being loyal to the point of risking his life.
He knew that Chu Ruoxue and Qin Yiheng couldn't possibly be completely unprepared, but now he was at his wit's end.
In a life-or-death situation, everyone hopes that "I" am the one who survives.
Among the group of people Chu Ruolin brought were those raised by Chu Wei and members of the Peng family. Their clothing was different, and Qin Yiheng raised an eyebrow at them. He then turned his questioning gaze to Chu Ruoxue.
"Peng Meijie, the head of the Peng family, is somewhat related to them," Chu Ruoxue explained softly.
"A woman?" Qin Yiheng had heard of her before; she was the only female head of the five major families.
They came to help because of a family relationship?
Absolutely impossible.
