At that moment, in order to save his family's lives, the bodyguard knelt down at Daniel's feet with a thud. "Young Master, I'm begging you, turn back while there's still time!"
Daniel clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, his expression turning sinister as he said, "At this point, no amount of persuasion will help me. I'm determined to win her over!"
The bodyguard's lips trembled as he asked incredulously, "Even if the whole world hunts you down, even if society rejects you?"
"What do worldly matters matter! As for being hunted down... ha!" Even if he stole Fu Yunchen's woman, as long as he takes her back to Italy and hides her, can Fu Yunchen still catch up with him?
For the sake of a woman, he went to someone else's territory to oppose the Mafia family?
He couldn't believe there could be such a devoted and persistent man.
"When have I ever been afraid?"
The bodyguard was so moved by his words that he forgot to try to dissuade him and was deeply touched.
Young master, you're actually willing to go against the world for a man!
You... have finally grown up!
Since that's the case, the bodyguard solemnly said, "Please rest assured, young master, I will swear to be loyal to you to the death!"
Daniel glanced at him with satisfaction: "Hmph, at least you're loyal; you can still be of some use."
It's quite amazing that two people with completely different thought processes were able to continue this nonsensical conversation without either of them noticing anything amiss.
Having made up his mind, Daniel immediately went to the company to find Yi Lianxue, whom he had previously looked down upon.
However, Yi Qilin told him, "She went home a long time ago."
“Give me her number,” Daniel urged.
"Why are you looking for her? She complained to me for ages about how you looked down on her last time, she's holding a grudge! She won't talk to you." Yi Qilin's advice to his business partner was more sincere.
“You don’t need to worry about that,” Daniel said impatiently. “Just give me the number.”
"Is this how you treat your boss?" Yi Qilin instantly dropped his mask, his expression turning cold. "Don't forget, last time I listened to you and tried to steal someone from Fu's Tianyu. And what happened? I tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead, causing me to lose hundreds of millions for nothing."
“I can earn that money back for you with just one endorsement.” Daniel couldn’t understand how this guy could be so short-sighted; he had initially thought he was a smart partner.
"Besides, it was because you didn't investigate them properly before signing them. If it were me, I would have bought up all the evidence of their promiscuity beforehand, destroyed it all, and made sure there was nothing to dig up about them before inviting them into the company." Daniel said arrogantly, "When dealing with someone as greedy as Fu Yunchen, you should be wary of his tricks. In the end, you're still too green."
Yi Qilin was so angry he choked.
Daniel had clearly urged him to act quickly, but in the end, he shifted all the blame onto him. Even someone with a good temper couldn't stand that.
"In the end, I had no grudge against the Fu family and had no reason to provoke them." Yi Qilin's expression was slightly cold as he said sarcastically, "Who knew that the Fu family was so powerful and influential, with family businesses all over the world? If it weren't for some people overestimating themselves and provoking them, and being forced into a corner, I wouldn't have needed to take action!"
Daniel's eyes turned cold, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.
He hates being told that he is not as good as Fu Yunchen.
"Damn it!" Enraged, Daniel punched him in the face.
“Listen to me, you help me enter the Chinese entertainment industry, and the Mafia family is also helping you expand your network. It’s a win-win situation.”
He clearly had the ambition to fight the Fu family, but after losing, he just keeps whining and complaining. That's cowardice!
Yi Qilin was punched to the ground, his face turned bruised and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
A dark and twisted murderous intent flashed quickly in his eyes.
The moment I looked up again, it had already been covered up.
The two stared at each other silently for a long time. Finally, Yi Qilin smiled bitterly and compromised first, saying, "You're right. I overestimated myself. I can't blame anyone. I won't do it again in the future."
He also needs the backing of the Mafia family to achieve his ambitions.
At times like these, no matter how unwilling or humiliated you feel, you must endure it.
One day, he will personally send Daniel to the depths of hell.
Daniel snorted coldly, too lazy to waste words with him, and said, "Phone number."
Yi Qilin recited a string of numbers without hesitation.
Daniel quickly typed the number into his phone and dialed. As soon as the call connected, he immediately said, "It's me, Daniel. I need to talk to you—"
Before he could finish speaking, Yi Lianxue had already hung up the phone, not giving him the slightest bit of face.
Daniel's face twitched. He forced himself to play the recording again, despite his disgust, only to be told that he had been blocked.
At that moment, Daniel gritted his teeth in hatred, wishing Yi Lianxue a thousand cuts in his heart.
"Looks like she's not going to answer your call." Yi Qilin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and got up from the ground. He looked at him with a cold gaze and said innocently, "Don't look at me like that. I can't do anything about her temper. How about this, I'll give you an address. She should be attending a carnival banquet right now."
...
At the carnival banquet, the older generation gathered together to discuss business, while the younger generation all headed towards Yi Lianxue.
"Lianxue, you're amazing! I watched that reality show, and your performance completely impressed me. Now, anyone who pays even a little attention to the entertainment industry knows who you are!"
"I guarantee you're the most popular newcomer in the entertainment industry in recent years."
"Among the Yi family's current generation, besides Fourth Young Master Yi, you are the most successful!"
Yi Lianxue accepted their flattery as a matter of course, and said arrogantly, "Of course, those few are not qualified to compare with me."
In a corner to the side, Yi Youyou watched her being fawned over and her eyes welled up with tears of jealousy.
Once upon a time, she had just returned from studying abroad, holding a trophy and basking in the glow of fame, and was admired by many.
But later, because of that damned Fu Qingruo, her reputation was ruined and she was shunned by everyone. Some time ago, she was even arrested and taken to the police station for saying a few words to Fu Qingruo to vent her anger.
She was imprisoned for several days, and it took Liu Ruyi a large sum of money to get her out.
These days she's been feeling down and out, while Yi Lianxue has been stealing the spotlight.
They're both daughters of the Yi family, but the difference is so huge, how could she possibly feel at peace with that?
"Tch." Yi Gui scoffed disdainfully, "What's so great about showing off like a peacock?"
Yi Youyou turned her head to look at his resentful face, feigning confusion but actually adding fuel to the fire, saying, "Agui, don't you always spend time with Lianxue? She's famous in the entertainment industry now, aren't you going to congratulate her? Or... is she too busy to see you?"
