Silence slowly enveloped the two of them.
Only then did Qin Bai realize that Liu Yue was probably even more secretive than he had imagined.
These secrets are not something ordinary people can know, not even wealthy second-generation heirs.
Business and politics are inextricably linked.
However, those schemers never considered money as a condition; those colorful banknotes were nothing more than a bunch of numbers once power reached its peak.
But even businessmen cannot use money to buy greater power; that's the difference.
Qin Bai was already guessing Liu Yue's true identity.
Do they have their own influence in Kyoto?
Seeing his suspicious expression, Liu Yue smiled calmly.
"No need to guess. My ancestors did have some status in Kyoto, but later they saw through some things, so the whole family moved into the mountains. We didn't want to be buried with our family because of these illusory things."
Qin Bai tentatively asked, "Um... Aunt Yue, may I ask, which generation of the Red Army are you from?"
"Wow~" Liu Yue exclaimed, "No wonder Yao Yao likes you so much, you really reacted quickly."
"I was just guessing."
"Yes, you guessed right. But generations don't matter anymore. Our Liu family doesn't have much influence in Kyoto anymore. It's just that some people might be nostalgic."
Qin Bai immediately sat up straight; the weight of those words far exceeded his expectations.
He always held those older generation Red Army soldiers in high esteem, especially his comrades who had crawled out of piles of corpses; their friendship had long surpassed that of so-called family.
The fact that the Liu family can continue to live a carefree and happy life deep in the mountains is probably inseparable from the secret help of those big shots.
The word "nostalgia" is definitely more than just its literal meaning.
With Liu Yue's help, the chances of winning this battle against the Luo family will definitely increase significantly.
Liu Yue smiled and said, "Let's talk about what resources Luo Qingyan has obtained first, otherwise I won't know how to help you. After all, I haven't been to Kyoto for many years."
"On the surface, it's Yin Ning'an, but I suspect that Luo Yuquan is also behind her."
Qin Bai didn't hide anything and told the truth directly.
"Luo Yuquan?" Liu Yue frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Would Luo Ziyao, who retired from the military, also genuinely help Luo Qingyan?"
“That’s right,” Qin Bai said affirmatively.
"Hehe, then I can guess what Luo Yuquan is relying on. Who has replaced Luo Ziyao now?"
"Luo He's youngest son, Luo Hongqing."
Liu Yue pursed her lips: "I've never heard of this person. He probably just joined the military recently."
Qin Bai clicked his tongue in amazement. He was truly a big shot, someone who looked down on even someone as powerful as Luo Hongqing.
"Aunt Yue, could you help me investigate this person? He might play a crucial role."
"No problem, wait for my message."
Qin Bai picked up the teacup: "Thank you very much, Aunt Yue. How long do you plan to stay in Kyoto this time?"
Liu Yue rolled her eyes at him: "No need to test me for Yao Yao. Go back and tell her to stay put. I'll take care of her father."
"Okay."
Qin Bai was waiting for these words; he was genuinely afraid that Liu Yue would forcefully take the little green tea back with her.
They've finally managed to meet, and if they have to part again, they'll definitely be heartbroken.
Liu Yue took a sip of tea: "Qin Bai, now tell me your plan."
"Actually, all the plans I made before coming to Kyoto are no longer of any use."
"Why?"
Qin Bai gave a bitter smile: "I thought it was just a personal feud between me and Luo He, and even with Deng Yue involved, it was just a business war. But now... with several forces fighting each other, I've instantly become a small fry. How can I still have any plans?"
"You don't need to belittle yourself. If you look at this from your perspective, you should have been out of the game long ago."
Qin Bai smiled but didn't say anything.
Liu Yue stared at him and said, "Besides, you should have figured out the key point by now, right? Those people hiding behind the scenes can't come out on the surface and fight you one-on-one, right?"
"Yes and no, because I don't know where their tolerance limits are. I'm new here, and I don't know where the bottom line of those people in politics is."
So, you're testing me.
"That's right."
What did you use to test me?
Qin Bai said seriously, "How much of the cake from Kyoto can I take?"
"Ha! Quite ambitious." Liu Yue looked at him with interest: "And the result?"
"Not so good. I recently opened 27 new companies and have already encountered resistance."
"Wow, you, Young Master Qin, are throwing money into the water just to test someone? That's quite generous." Liu Yue was amazed by Qin Bai's boldness.
"It's not just a test; these companies will be useful in the future."
Liu Yue's expression gradually turned serious.
"Qin Bai, I advise you to put away your little schemes. No matter how far your struggle with the Luo family goes, don't drag others into it."
“Aunt Yue, I have no choice in this. When it really comes down to life and death, I can’t guarantee that I won’t do anything outrageous. After all, I’m not all alone now. I… can’t afford to lose.”
Liu Yue stared intently at him, trying to discern from his words whether her guess was accurate.
Ten seconds later.
She sighed in disappointment. The young man in front of her was far more composed and calm than she had imagined, and she had not gleaned any useful information from him.
"Qin Bai, you don't need to be too pessimistic. You can completely pretend that those people behind the scenes don't exist. This is just a one-sided business war between you and Luo He. Even if Deng Yue is included, it's just a small-scale operation within the capital."
