Ye Mingmei was stunned in place for a good while before she reacted and suddenly chased after him.

"Yu Xiuzhun, how dare you lock up senior, I..."

"Don’t tell me you’re going to call the police. Are you sure you have the ability to oppose me now that you’re here?" Yu Xiuzhun lazily raised an eyebrow, a sinister satisfaction visible on his wicked face.

He utterly despised Ye Mingmei. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"What’s the point of opposing everyone like this? Even if you gain control of the Dan Group and let the Yu family reign supreme, you still won’t be able to save Yu Yueman. She made a mistake and should accept the punishment, just like you!"

Ye Mingmei stood by the door, watching the man’s tall back and noticed his body froze.

Swallowing hard, she didn’t stop speaking and, with a hardened resolve, continued to persuade him.

"Yu Xiuzhun, it’s not too late to turn back. With your current capability, you can lead the Yu family to clean up, to proceed step by step towards a better direction relying on your own skills, instead of this, gaining the whole world but making everyone hate you."

"..."

"No amount of wealth can buy genuine respect from others, nor someone who truly loves you."

These words were also admonitions to Ye Mingmei herself.

Once, she lived at the top of the pyramid, thinking she was the favored one of heaven, enjoying others’ flattery.

She always thought she was naturally superior.

It was only later she realized that it was nothing but an illusion built upon the Ye family’s wealth.

Aside from her status as Miss Ye, she had nothing left...

"You’re asking me to stop?"

Yu Xiuzhun turned his head, coldly glaring at her.

The height difference gave Yu Xiuzhun an automatic air of superiority, without any need for deliberate disdain.

Ye Mingmei’s eyes tightened, instinctively retreating until her heel hit the door frame.

"Do you know how many years my sister was sentenced because of Dan Hanjie?"

"..."

"And do you know how much the Yu family lost because of Dan Hanjie’s suppression?" If he hadn’t chosen to make a tough choice and avoid confrontation, the entire Yu family might have been dragged into it by now.

How could he possibly let go of such hatred?

"Even if I don’t go against Dan Hanjie, can you say he wouldn’t come after me?" Yu Xiuzhun narrowed his sinister eyes, a ghostly light flickering within them.

In Dan Hanjie’s hands, the Dan Family and Ye Family, although now adjusting, will sooner or later recover.

By then, with Dan Hanjie in control of two of The Three Big Merchant Families, with his ambition, the future of the Yu family would be in others’ hands.

Given Yu Xiuzhun’s nature, how could he accept that?

"Competition in the business world is inevitable, but not in the way you’re doing it, by any means necessary." Ye Mingmei nervously clutched her skirt, stepping back.

Watching Yu Xiuzhun with fear in her eyes.

"Even if you win like this, you’ll just become a Big Devil feared by everyone, even those around you won’t dare come near."

"If I stop, won’t you be afraid of me?" Yu Xiuzhun noticed her small actions, raised an eyebrow, and opened his lips faintly.

His hawk-like sinister eyes flashed with a mysterious light that no one could understand.

"..."

What did he mean?

Ye Mingmei blinked her confused eyes, bewildered as she looked at him.

"Are you willing to stop?"

"Answer me first, if I stop, won’t you be afraid of me?" Yu Xiuzhun took a large step forward, standing in front of her, cold eyes locking onto her slender figure, lips slightly parted.
