"On the ninth of last month, you arranged for He Guan to cheat at your casino. Those wealthy young men didn't enjoy themselves at your place in the end, did they? I heard that their lives have become dreadful recently."
"Near the end of last month, after the events you've arranged at Riverside Club, those people must have been so satisfied and pleased."
"..."
Ye Yang could now sense Huang Xudong's rising paranoia towards himself, but he wasn't at all bothered by it.
No matter the reason, even if Hu Xudong had been carefully keeping the things he did under covers, it was undeniable that they were mostly unethical acts. Be it cheating or arranging unspeakable events for influential figures who refused to be named. If any of this got out, Huang Xudong would be the first to suffer the consequences.
As the discussion among the trio in the office got deeper into the topic, Huang Xudong's expression became darker.
During this process, Ye Yang maintained an air of indifference towards Huang Xudong. There had been a hint of provocation in Huang Xudong's eyes as he studied Ye Yang, and as a man, Ye Yang understood the implications behind this very gaze.
To Huang Xudong, Ye Yang was merely doing this to obtain Huang Ruobing's favor for his personal gains. Although Huang Xudong didn't think his excellent sister would fall for Ye Yang's schemes, Ye Yang's appearance had put Huang Xudong on edge the entire time.
This was also the reason why Huang Xudong was skeptical about their relationship.
However, their conversation today had deeply disturbed Huang Xudong. He had tried so hard to keep his deeds a secret because one little screw-up might cost his life. Hence, as a precaution, he didn't even tell Huang Ruobing about it.
But who knew that this man before him had had him investigated thoroughly.
Of the many things Ye Yang mentioned, Huang Xudong had to dig his memories to verify its validity, and in turn, it made Huang Xudong's expression grow darker and darker by the minute.
This man should not be allowed to live.
Huang Xudong's expression was dismal. In his heart and mind, this was his conclusion.
He had not given anything away on his face yet, but everyone present was an intelligent individual. Even if Huang Ruobing did not join in their conversation from the start, by looking at her brother's expression now, she could crudely make out what was going through his mind.
Ye Yang could tell as well, but frankly speaking, he thought nothing of it.
Just as Huang Xudong was about to take action, Huang Ruobing forced him back into his seat, stopping him from going through with his plan.
"Sis?" Huang Xudong was baffled. He didn't expect his sister to stop him at a time like this. Had she truly fallen head over heels for the man?
Huang Xudong was aware of how dangerous his secrets were. Forget Huang Ruobing, even if it was the Huang family, they couldn't possibly save him when the time came. To prevent Ye Yang from running his mouth, the man's demise was inevitable.
But instead, Huang Ruobing had chosen to stop him from doing so.
In fact, Huang Ruobing had seen what Ye Yang was capable of so she did not wish for both of them to get into a fight because of this. Also, she could tell that they shouldn't be focusing on Ye Yang who told her about this. Because this proved just how much they weren't a match for him.
Ye Yang could obviously tell Huang Xudong's intentions. But since Huang Ruobing had stopped him, he would let the matter drop without pursuing it.
"Instead of plotting against me, why don't you direct your anger on the spy who's been lurking around you?" said Ye Yang in a leisurely tone.
Huang Xudong was stunned to hear this. He had been extremely careful when carrying out his plans and the only people who knew were his confidants. If he were to choose between trusting Ye Yang, whom he had just met today, and the confidants who had been serving him for so many years, Huang Xudong would, of course, choose the latter without hesitation.
"You're really… you just spout whatever nonsense that comes to mind, don't you?" Huang Xudong didn't know what expression to direct at Ye Yang, who was much more composed despite having just revealed such explosive information.
"Won't you be able to know once you investigate?" Looking straight at Huang Xudong, Ye Yang mouthed a name at him.
Huang Xudong was capable of differentiating between a good and a bad person. Since Ye Yang was so sure of himself, out of precaution, Huang Xudong ordered his subordinate to investigate the person Ye Yang had mentioned.
The outcome, however, came as a surprise to Huang Xudong.
As he had made this order an urgency, Huang Xudong's underling came back almost immediately, validating that the investigated target was indeed a spy.
It was just as Ye Yang had said. During the investigation, Huang Xudong's subordinate discovered many useful clues in the target's living quarters, and these items all belonged to Riverside Club.
Huang Xudong's clients were all prominent figures of society. If they went down because of Huang Xudong, he'd no doubt find himself in grave trouble.
Especially in recent years when Huang Xudong had formed many enemies. If some of his rivals got their hands on this information…
Huang Xudong didn't even dare to imagine the outcome.
Due to this, Huang Xudong lost all intention of attacking Ye Yang. Had Ye Yang not told him about the spy, Huang Xudong might have lost his life to that traitor.
For whatever reason Ye Yang disclosed this to him, it was a fact that Ye Yang had helped him solve a huge problem.
Thus, Huang Xudong's curiosity towards this new acquaintance of his grew.
At first, he had assumed that his sister was merely being whimsical. But now, every aspect of Ye Yang was riling up his seemingly insatiable curiosity.
