Chapter 162 She Only Loves Herself
He was wrong. In fact, he had wanted to take action for a long time. When he found out that Mu Yunya was going to join forces with the remaining forces of Tianji Tower to kidnap Huangfu Zique and the others, he just waited to reap the benefits.
He even secretly fueled the flames behind the scenes. The cleanup work done by Tianji Tower was indeed quite good, but not very clean. However, with his involvement, it naturally wouldn't reach the ears of the major powers in time.
People would just assume that they really went on a long trip.
No matter how much they planned, they never expected that Mu Yunya didn't actually do anything on the cruise ship.
They even became friends with them, and the Tianji Tower didn't even plan to attack Huangfu Zique.
Fortunately, at this critical juncture, countries around the world will be plunged into a widespread financial crisis, and all major powers will be busy dealing with the matter, resulting in a very chaotic situation.
This gave him an excellent opportunity.
Since Tianji Tower isn't making a move, let him take the lead.
You could say he was absolutely certain at that time, because he had discovered something very interesting.
It turns out that the second aunt was not the Zhao family's biological daughter, and the Zhao family was just using her. Winning over the Zhao family was effortless.
Huangfu Zique's confidant, Huangfu Liche, was blindly filial, and his mother and Huangfu Liche's mother had a close personal relationship. Therefore, it would not be difficult to win over Huangfu Liche's mother by promising her great benefits.
How could such a flawless plan have failed?
If it weren't for the need to create an alibi...
He should have gone there in person. The crossbows couldn't handle them, but guns would have been better, right?
Why did Mu Yunya, that lunatic, have to come out and disrupt his plans?
If only I had met this woman sooner, she would have definitely been able to help him get rid of Huangfu Zique back then.
It's a pity that you can't buy foresight.
If Mu Zhen knew all this, he would understand why the plot was disrupted. In the first playthrough, because Bai Luoluo was not involved, Long Yuan began to plot a rebellion much earlier.
The Huangfu family wanted to rise to power, but they didn't want an empty shell, so the assassination attempt wasn't brought forward.
They'll wait until they're fully grown before taking a more cautious approach.
In the second playthrough, thanks to Bai Luoluo's intervention, the relationship between Longyuan and Di Tianhuang was maintained well, with only Tianjilou secretly causing trouble behind the scenes.
Huangfu's son only hoped to secretly help Tianji Tower kill someone with a borrowed knife, but unfortunately he failed for more than a year.
It dragged on until the timeframe that Uncle Huangfu had anticipated.
In this life, Tianji Tower chose to cease its activities, which is why he chose to take action personally.
Huangfu Dabo now only wishes he could kill this son with his own hands, and he regrets his choice back then. He should have been the first in line to inherit the throne. It's all that damned woman's fault for ruining his future.
If she had been willing to be a mistress back then, he wouldn't have needed to scheme like this now.
He took a deep breath, rubbed his temples, and slumped into a chair: "Get ready, we're going to the hospital!"
Let's sound out the situation first. Maybe I'm just worrying unnecessarily. There are so many forces using crossbows; they might not necessarily associate it with me.
Even if we take a step back and assume they knew, could my second brother really kill him?
*
No matter how much Huangfu Dabo was devastated, Huangfu Zique had already locked onto the target with 100% certainty through Mu Yunya's thoughts.
They were just waiting for their father to come back and catch them off guard.
But that's not something he should be concerned about right now. His uncle is no longer a threat, unless he wants to turn against the entire family.
That doesn't matter. With the goal clear, I believe that with my father's abilities, my uncle won't be able to harm him in the slightest.
Now he should be thinking about his relationship with Bai Luoluo, not just about romantic love, but also about the countless business dealings that are involved between them.
He has a stake in 80% of Bai Luoluo's business empire.
If something were to happen to her, he couldn't afford the loss for the time being, and he didn't want to rely on the family's power unless absolutely necessary.
I can't afford to lose this person!
This was because he had confidently promised the family elders that he would make a name for himself on his own, in order to suppress the restless ambitions of his cousins.
His father did indeed only have him as his sole heir, but in addition to birth order, the succession of the family also depends on individual ability.
He truly didn't want to face the ridicule from his relatives.
Damn it, this is so annoying. Why did I trust Bai Luoluo so much in the first place?
Now he can't back out even if he wants to, and he can't turn against her either. She has a product of advanced civilization on her body, and if this problem isn't resolved, he'll have to continue with their previous way of getting along.
To avoid arousing her suspicion.
What if someone gets upset and destroys the world?
Huangfu Zique has never been one to compromise himself, but now... he has to start to compromise.
As for love, forget it. He doesn't want to waste his days on a woman, let alone... fake his death and end up alone for love.
It's not like all the women in the world have died.
No matter how outstanding Bai Luoluo is, is he the kind of person who needs to live off a woman?
Oh dear, what should we do? So much money is tied up in their hands. Is it even possible to get all of his money back? That's all money he earned since he started his business.
Looking at Mu Yunfei, who was pretending to sleep next door, he was truly an enviable guy, having suffered no loss except in matters of the heart.
Mu Yunfei opened her eyes and met Huangfu Zique's resentful gaze. Her eyes twitched: "What time is it and you're still thinking about money?"
Having his thoughts exposed, Huangfu Zique felt no shame and sneered, "It's easy for you to talk when you're standing or lying down. That's the confidence I need for my future wife and children."
Mu Yunfei couldn't help but roll his eyes again. He said the same thing: "What time is it and you're still thinking about your wife and kids?"
These past few days they've all been avoiding contact with Bai Luoluo; the shock has been too great, and they don't know how to face her.
To his surprise, Bai Luoluo didn't come looking for them either. He was quite certain that his admiration for Bai Luoluo was no longer what it used to be.
Didn't that level of affection for her decrease?
The next day.
Donghuang Academy.
In the classroom, Long Yuan and Fu Tingyu arrived at school before all the other students for the first time.
Fu Tingyu sat with a fairly upright posture, yet also with a touch of languor, twirling a pen in one hand and supporting his head with the other.
A few rays of morning sun shone on him, their gentle warmth unable to dispel the sorrow etched on his tender face.
In the back seat by the window, Long Yuan seemed to have not slept well, his face showing some weariness. He was still in the same posture, arms crossed, long legs arrogantly propped up on the desk.
There's no such thing as good manners or bad manners. He's used to the rough and unruly environment of the military camp, where everyone is a rough bunch of men. Except during formal training, they just do whatever makes them happy.
With crises looming all the time, who cares about such fussy rules?
She slowly raised her eyelids, her voice lacking its usual vigor, carrying a sense of helplessness: "I advise you to give up on your illusions."
I know you are the kind of person who loves to the point of wanting to live and hates to the point of wanting to die.
Either you don't love at all, or once you fall in love, you won't turn back until you hit a wall.
But you also have to learn to accept reality: she doesn't love anyone, she only loves herself.
