These words instantly caused a truce on site. The other men no longer stared at Kaizer with those murderous gazes, and Kaizer didn’t stare at the other three men anymore.

The handsome young man walked over and sat on the sofa—of course, it was a single-seat sofa. Otherwise, given the relationships of those present, if he had chosen to sit next to anyone, a fight would have broken out the next second.

Hearing the handsome young man speak, the tall man still maintained that polite smile.

However, when he looked at the handsome young man, the curve of his lips lifted slightly, seeming to show a little more sincerity than when he looked at the others.

This made the younger cousin sitting nearby shiver again and immediately confirm that her second cousin must have some abnormal “attracts dangerous types” constitution.

—Among the four present, Chris played with confinement, Will could invade her second cousin’s room, Octo seemed relatively mild.

But this man silently participated in all of Ye Wangxing’s enterprises.

That was even more frightening than the first two. As for the last one, Kaizer…

The younger cousin’s expression became complicated as she started typing on her phone.

“…What do you think your reaction would be if, after being murdered by your husband, you faked your death, came back to life, and saw him first?”

Her friends all immediately said they would definitely kill him.

“Is it possible that instead of being angry, she would look at him with love in her eyes?”

Feng Chuan said concisely: “Only if I went crazy.”

But then she realized why Wang Qi had said something like that.

“Could it be that your friend’s actual husband…”

The younger cousin silently sent a confirming emoji.

The girls in the chat: “…?”

They were all stunned, feeling that the world had gone crazier than they could imagine. Meanwhile, in reality, Kaizer let out a light laugh. His long fingers gently traced the edge of his teacup, and his tone was relaxed.

“Thanks to that Scania having been modified—the truck driver’s love for heavy-metal decorations spared my life a little.”

The man spoke casually, but the handsome young man’s pupils instantly contracted. His fingers clenched so tightly that they turned white. Though his expression stayed calm, his voice trembled slightly: “You… were really in the truck at that time?”

Song Yun and Assistant Wang also stared at the man in shock, especially Assistant Wang.

He had seen the car accident scene with his own eyes.

That Lincoln looked pitiful, like the eldest grandson in his grandmother’s eyes. Despite its enormous size, it looked flattened, as if one person could lift that piece of metal. At the time, Assistant Wang thought that if anyone were really inside, they would never survive.

That had been a Scania! The autopsy later confirmed this.

But now…

Assistant Wang trembled slightly, staring at the tall man as if he were an alien. Even if the Scania had tilted slightly due to the heavy-metal decorations, a normal human could never survive such a situation!

Kaizer nodded. His blue eyes remained calm, as if escaping from a dump truck were just an ordinary outdoor hike. A meaningful smile played at the corner of his lips. “Of course, after all, I was the protagonist in this scene—without a protagonist, the drama is incomplete from the start.”

The handsome young man’s face instantly paled further. His lips moved slightly, then…

“You are fucking insane.”

Kaizer’s smile deepened. He didn’t care about Ye Wangxing’s angry shout, in fact, he seemed visibly more pleased.

Kaizer’s expression made the handsome young man click his tongue impatiently.

“But darling, you enjoy this kind of thrill, don’t you?”

The tall man propped his chin on his hand, his large hand conveniently covering his scar. He smiled just as he had when chatting with his partner in the study, making Assistant Wang feel as if he had traveled back a year.

Then he heard the man say lightly:

“Just like when you tried to team up with your three lovers to kill me.”

Everyone present: “…”

“Ah???”

Hearing this, the others couldn’t help but exclaim. Song Yun reacted the fastest, he immediately prepared to rush forward to shield Ye Wangxing, fearing his brother would actually get hit.

Assistant Wang stood to the side, feeling his heart nearly stop.

—How could this big shot reveal the truth so openly? Luckily, the villa had been cleared of bugs beforehand. Otherwise, such an explosive move could have affected stock prices—or even endangered lives!

But fortunately, it wasn’t him who would have gone in.

Assistant Wang instinctively looked toward the other three, but…

Their expressions were unlike his boss, who had stiffened. They weren’t panicked or nervous, some even seemed… pleased?

Assistant Wang stiffly thought—he suddenly felt grateful that back when he worked for his boss, he hadn’t become a thorn in their eyes.

As Assistant Wang clasped his hands again, thanking the country silently, Chris, his arch-nemesis, struck first.

“Kaizer, dead people should stay where dead people belong. Your kind of ‘resurrection’ is not very welcome—let alone calling it murder,” The red-haired man said teasingly.

“We were only trying to save a poor person driven insane by her husband’s omnipresent control,”

The blonde man, for the first time, agreed with his rival.

Kaizer, before my dear came to me, I never imagined he had been under 24-hour surveillance, even so anxious he couldn’t sleep—that day, he truly broke my heart.”

The blonde man sighed and shook his head.

Will, Kaizer’s younger brother, looked pitifully at Ye Wangxing, then at his own elder brother, and resolutely put on a solemn, righteous expression.

“Brother, I will take care of my sister-in-law!”

Kaizer turned, letting his gaze pass over the three men before finally settling on the handsome young man who pressed his lips together, looking unreadable. His lips still carried that casual smile as he spoke softly.

“My dear brothers, you truly make me feel gratified—I didn’t expect your bond to be this strong.”

Kaizer said this, feigning innocence.

“It’s so strong it even moves me,”

The three others: “…”

The three men faltered. Each clenched their teeth and glared at Kaizer, as if they wanted to bury him back in his grave.

Assistant Wang felt his back drenched in cold sweat and nearly lost his grip on the teapot.

His eyes darted between the four men as he silently prayed for the confrontation to end quickly. He even cast a desperate glance at his boss, but Ye Wangxing didn’t notice. He appeared calm but stared straight at Kaizer.

Kaizer, however, seemed unconcerned, smiling calmly as if it were all just a game.

As time passed, the living room grew so tense it felt like water could drip from it. The air carried an invisible scent of gunpowder.

Assistant Wang stood aside, feeling like he was in the eye of a brewing storm, constantly wiping cold sweat.

The living room atmosphere was taut, like a battlefield filled with gunpowder that only needed a spark to ignite everything.

Then the handsome young man moved.

He took a deep breath. The heavy golden neck collar on his neck rubbed against his skin, causing it to redden slightly. Then he spoke.

“So, you want to kill me and make me atone?”

His expression stayed calm. His eyes toward Kaizer seemed resigned, but…

Kaizer still showed little emotional fluctuation. He stared deeply at Ye Wangxing for a long time, then spoke softly.

“No. In fact, even if our marriage ends, you remain my partner. No one can change that fact. Moreover…”

“I know that Scania wasn’t your doing,”

the man said with a smile, making everyone present turn their heads to look at him.

“You wouldn’t resort to such a foolish method. Though simple and effective, it’s only suitable for those who, even in death, cannot deal with the culprit. Darling, I believe I deserve a better, more meticulous plan in your mind,”

Kaizer said, and no one could misread the joy on his face.

Song Yun: “…”

The younger cousin: “…”

Assistant Wang: “…” Is this really something to be proud of?

As for Ye Wangxing…

He stayed silent.

Kaizer was even happier.

“As expected, later some very hidden toxins were found in my body—darling, I suffered a lot to eliminate those toxins within half a year,” The man said, somewhat coquettishly.

Song Yun: “…” What is this, a plot like a patient forced to take medicine?

Though he made that remark, Song Yun felt that something was slightly off. He sat up straighter, fearing he might hear even more explosive news.

Before Kaizer could continue, Ye Wangxing, having heard Kaizer speak, seemed to suddenly realize something.

He looked up at the man sharply and spoke through gritted teeth.

“—You knew I would poison you, and you knew I had dealings with those three, even knew parts of the plan, but you probably didn’t know the details, so you really got poisoned.”

“But you weren’t reckless with life, nor did you love me so much that you would let me kill you willingly. Rather—the old relics with intent tried to target you, so you staged the scenario to make it look like we attacked you to lower their guard, since in their eyes you were someone who, even after death, couldn’t deal with the culprit.”

“You also knew I collaborated with those three, inevitably walking into a trap, but you know me—you know I would never willingly walk among them. So I took my property to a safe place.”

“And for me, no country is safer than my homeland.”

The handsome young man spoke calmly, though his voice carried increasing emotion.

“You personally risked so much, leaving behind a fake organization of clones just to transfer the entire Gore family inheritance to our country, and I—”

The beautiful young man pointed at himself sharply and said: “You’re just using me as a tool, right?”

Kaizer remained silent for a moment, then clapped his hands.

This was a sign of agreement, and the little cousin, Song Yun, and Assistant Wang all blinked in confusion.

No, how did Ye Wangxing get so much information from such a short sentence? And how did it even involve asset transfers afterward?

While they were puzzled, the tall man sitting on the sofa lowered his clapping hands and looked gently at Ye Wangxing, who had remained silent ever since seeing the man applaud.

“You guessed correctly. We really are the people who understand each other best, but…”

The man’s voice turned serious.

“Baby, you’re not just a tool. We just understand each other too well. You know, even though my possessiveness can be unbearable, you can’t leave me — and I also know that to protect both you and my family, only you have the ability to take the assets away.”

As he spoke, a smile returned to the man’s face. “Finally… baby, murdering your husband is not a good habit. You need to learn a lesson.”

He opened his arms, seemingly inviting Ye Wangxing to fall into them and reconcile, but…

The beautiful young man snorted and looked up at him.

“I admit we understand each other very well. You even used someone else’s plan to fake your death successfully in front of me, but…”

“Understanding each other doesn’t mean we are compatible — mentally compatible, Kaizer.”

He looked at Kaizer as if to continue, then quickly added, raising his phone calmly.

“I still have the footage of you breaking into a private residence. I don’t know how you got in, but you definitely did.”

The man still smiled, but the curve of his lips was shrinking.

“You said I would return to China because it was safe, and indeed it is — safe enough that if I called the police, someone would respond, and most of the time, they couldn’t be bribed.”

The beautiful young man finally showed a faint smile, glancing at the expressionless man.

“Kaizer, do you want to see what a police chief in China looks like?”

The room fell silent for a long moment. The other three men pondered, then exhaled in relief.

They seemed thankful that they hadn’t broken any laws in China, and their expressions relaxed as they looked at Kaizer, the only one who might have ended up in trouble back home.

Their sense of superiority was unmistakable.

But one had to admit, experience made Kaizer all the more formidable. Those extra fifteen years had not been wasted.

He leaned back slowly on the sofa, rested his hand against his cheek, and chuckled lightly.

“Oh? Really? That is quite troublesome, so…”

“Baby, the matter has reached a conclusion, and you should make your decision.”

The man’s voice was gentle.

“Who… among the four of us will you choose?”

The other three men instantly raised their heads.

The living room grew tense again. The four men stared at Ye Wangxing in unison.

Their gazes carried seriousness, even though they knew the young man might evade the question. At least now, their attitudes were clear.

After all, they all knew Kaizer held an extremely important place in Ye Wangxing’s heart. If they didn’t act while Kaizer provoked him, who knew what methods he might use to win Ye Wangxing back later?

——If he couldn’t be the head, he would at least maintain the title of “the mistress.”

Ye Wangxing sat on the sofa, calm in expression, but his face had started to pale.

Song Yun looked at the tense living room and sighed once again. Truly, juggling multiple relationships was not something everyone could handle — especially when all those “ships” were luxurious yachts.

‘No wonder Shi Xuanzhu didn’t dare do this in front of me…’

Song Yun thought, but his emotions grew restless. The tension in the air was thickening, and he worried that his brother might really mess up.

Just as he fretted, a WeChat message popped up on his phone. Instinctively, he opened it and found it was from the director.

Song Yun was initially confused — why would the director message him? They weren’t that close — until he opened the attached photo.

In the photo, the director stood stiffly in a high-end restaurant, wearing a fancy dress.

But that wasn’t the point.

The background was.

——There was Shi Xuanzhu, Song Yun’s husband, sitting across from an unfamiliar woman!

He was dressed formally, talking and laughing warmly with the woman, looking like an ordinary couple in love!

The director had even captured them holding each other’s wrists!

Song Yun’s pupils constricted instantly. Rage surged through his head, making it throb painfully.

He knew Shi Xuanzhu had been emotionally unfaithful, but he hadn’t expected him to be so brazen. The live broadcast had just ended, and he dared to go to a high-end restaurant with another woman! He completely disregarded him!

But then Song Yun calmed down. Knowing Shi Xuanzhu, perhaps he had chosen this moment deliberately — right after the show ended, when no one would suspect him, reducing the risk of being caught.

Still, Song Yun’s hands trembled with anger. He had assumed Shi Xuanzhu’s emotional affair was just chatting, but who emotionally cheats and grabs someone else’s hand?!

If Shi Xuanzhu were in front of him now, Song Yun might have seriously considered the possibility of inheritance manipulation his brother had mentioned.

He raised his head, about to excuse himself, but seeing the tense atmosphere and Ye Wangxing’s pale face, he suddenly realized something.

The chance he had been desperately searching for to break the stalemate was right in front of him!

Song Yun’s eyes lit up. He looked at Ye Wangxing with ambition shining in his heart.

Silently, he said to Shi Xuanzhu: “Good job, Xuanzhu. But this is what you deserve.”

He quickly adjusted his expression, adopting a look of betrayal and hurt, his eyes slightly reddened, voice trembling with a hint of sobs as he shouted,

“Wangxing, your brother is cheating!”

His voice was loud enough for everyone in the living room to hear.

The previously tense few immediately turned to look at Song Yun.

The beautiful young man froze for a moment, then looked at Song Yun with shock, which quickly turned into gritted teeth and anger.

The four men were also drawn to the sudden turn of events. Their attention shifted from the young man to Song Yun, their expressions all serious. Chris stopped smiling, Octo grin turned stern, and Will expression mirrored his brother’s, cold and murderous.

Song Yun swallowed, then recalling the earlier tension, he closed his eyes, steeled himself, and walked quickly to the young man.

He handed him the phone, voice choking, hands trembling.

“Look, the director just sent this photo… Xuanzhu… he’s… he’s on a date with another woman in a high-end restaurant!”

Song Yun seemed like a sorrowful figure, his voice full of sobs.

“I thought it was only an emotional affair. Who would have thought it would go this far! He didn’t even take me to this restaurant!”

“I thought when we married, he would promise to be good to me forever, but…”

Song Yun shook his head, striking another pose of heartbreak.

“It’s only been a few years, and he’s done this!”

His words broke his heart and made the young man’s expression more serious. He took the phone, glanced down, and his face darkened.

Looking up at Song Yun, concern filled his eyes. He comforted him briefly, then turned to the men behind him.

“Let’s set today’s matters aside for now. I need to handle family affairs first. You can leave, and Assistant Wang, contact a defense lawyer — one for me. Tell me how to deal with him quickly, harshly, and without getting caught.”

The young man’s voice carried a hint of gritted teeth.

However, the four men did not follow his instructions. They stayed and called out to Ye Wangxing.

“Darling, if you don’t mind, I want to help your brother — my bodyguards have been idle lately. China is so safe, we can put them to use.” The blonde man smiled, already rising to contact the bodyguards — catching someone cheating requires backup, after all.

“Sweetheart, your brother’s business is my business. I’ve been involved in the entertainment industry recently — and if there’s a date afterward, even better.” The red-haired man grinned, seizing the opportunity.

“Wangxing, do you want me to go through all the chat records on his phone?” The silver-haired man asked seriously, already starting on his laptop.

The tall man casually stood beside Ye Wangxing, smiling.

“As someone who’s never met my brother-in-law, I think I should also help.”

Ye Wangxing remained silent for a moment. He didn’t refuse their help, instead waving for all four men to join him.

Seeing the final lineup, Song Yun clasped his hands silently — starting to pray for Shi Xuanzhu.

‘Hopefully, he’ll remain in one piece.’ Song Yun thought.
