Beautiful CEO's Top Expert

The next morning, the weather wasn't as sunny as it was yesterday. Today, it turned a bit gloomy.

Although the weather became gloomy, it actually added a festive atmosphere to this Spring Festival. People weren't discouraged from going out due to the slightly overcast weather, and their moods weren't the least bit depressed.

After all, Spring Festival is a time to relax and visit friends and family, so everyone's spirits were extraordinarily high and exuberant.

Ye Xunhuan originally planned to spend today touring around the capital with Qiu Ruoxi, but a call from the Dragon Head disrupted all of Ye Xunhuan's plans.

Qiu Ruoxi didn't say much about it because she knew that Ye Xunhuan was really busy right now, with a lot of things to do. So she let Ye Xunhuan go meet the Dragon Head.

Although Ye Xunhuan felt a bit guilty towards Qiu Ruoxi, he understood that if the Dragon Head was seeking him out, it was likely because Liu Qingcheng had said something to him after returning yesterday. Otherwise, the Dragon Head wouldn't contact him at this time.

This made it necessary for Ye Xunhuan to meet the Dragon Head. After all, the quickest way for him to go to the Ye family was through the Dragon Head's help.

After leaving the Qin family, Ye Xunhuan headed straight towards Houhai in the capital.

Houhai starts from Dianmen Outer Street in the east, stretches west to Xinjiekou Street, south to Pingan Street, and north to the North Second Ring; it's a part of Shichahai, composed of the three water bodies of Qianhai, Houhai, and Xihai. To distinguish it from Beihai, Zhonghai, and Nanhai, the "Front Three Seas," it's called the "Rear Three Seas." It's an ancient water region dating back over seven hundred years to the Yuan Dynasty era in the old capital of Beijing.

Today, Houhai was teeming with people, appearing unusually crowded, and from afar, one could see a constant flow of heads bobbing about in all directions!

When Ye Xunhuan arrived at the place the Dragon Head mentioned, the Dragon Head had already been waiting for a long time, and there were quite a few people sightseeing around him.

The entire surrounding was bustling with people coming and going.

Upon seeing the Dragon Head, Ye Xunhuan walked straight over.

"You sure know how to pick a spot — with so many people here, you actually want to meet me here!" Ye Xunhuan said softly after arriving by the Dragon Head's side.

The Dragon Head glanced at Ye Xunhuan and said with a smile, "Just letting you feel how much people love Spring Festival."

"I've already deeply felt it," Ye Xunhuan said blandly, "But I think we should change places. There are just too many people here."

"The more people, the merrier. Isn't it great?" the Dragon Head said lightly, "We can talk while walking, and enjoy the scenery as well!"

"There's nothing new to see; I've been here so many times already," Ye Xunhuan said dismissively.

Though he said this, Ye Xunhuan still followed the Dragon Head around the area.

It wasn't that Ye Xunhuan wanted to walk around with the Dragon Head, but that he had no other choice, as the Dragon Head showed no intention of changing locations, forcing Ye Xunhuan to choose to stay here.

"Qingcheng came to see me yesterday!"

"I guessed as much," Ye Xunhuan said lightly, "Otherwise, you wouldn't be looking for me at this moment."

"You're right," the Dragon Head admitted with a nod, "Why didn't you tell me yourself?"

"Whether it's you or someone else telling you, wouldn't the result be the same?"

"The result is the same, but now you're in control, and I'm somewhat passive."

"I've been passive for a long time, and I want to take control for once."

"Why do you want to go to the Ye family?" the Dragon Head asked directly, without any small talk.

"Isn't it Spring Festival? No matter what, I'm considered a part of the Ye family, right? According to the customs left by the ancestors, I should go wish them a Happy New Year!" Ye Xunhuan said softly, "Even if they're not welcoming, I should still go over."

"Just to wish them a Happy New Year?"

"Why else?"

"There's no need for us to beat around the bush," the Dragon Head said lightly, "Tell me, why do you want to go to the Ye family?"

Ye Xunhuan pondered for a moment, then said, "Did you know my mother left a letter?"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Head's expression changed subtly.

Ye Xunhuan caught the slight change on the Dragon Head's face and immediately said, "It seems you know everything!"

The Dragon Head took a deep breath, "Who told you?"

"The letter is with me, so I guess you know the rest, right?"

This time, the Dragon Head didn't ask further but sighed softly, "Do you want them to regret it?"

"Don't you think they deserve it?" Ye Xunhuan's words were even more straightforward than the Dragon Head's, "It's one thing to leave someone to die, but to actually lay hands on them — what use is there in having such family in this world?"

"The events of that year were very complex, not something that can be explained in one or two sentences..."

Before the Dragon Head could finish speaking, Ye Xunhuan interrupted, "Even if things were complicated, it's not an excuse for them to harm their own, is it?"

"For self-preservation, to prevent trouble for themselves, they went as far as to kill their own family?"

The Dragon Head's face showed unprecedented bitterness, unsure of what to say.

"What's wrong, don't know what to say?"

"Must you go to the Ye family?"

"You can choose not to take me, but I think I can find it myself," Ye Xunhuan said blandly, "And you can take this time to warn the Ye family, letting those who need to run, run, and those who need to hide, hide!"

"Or you can gather them together, call back all those experts who aren't at home, and prepare to deal with me!"

"Can't you just not go?"

"No way!" Ye Xunhuan said firmly, "Once, I helped Dongfang Shu write her mother's name into the Dongfang family genealogy, now I want to write my mother's name into the Ye family genealogy!"

"No, the Ye family genealogy isn't worthy of my mother's name, I'll have to rewrite it myself!"

"Do you have any idea what will happen if you go to the Ye family?"

"The king knows I'm the son of the Evil King, right?" Ye Xunhuan said very naturally.

"That's right!" the Dragon Head said gravely, "By going, you'll be announcing to the world that you, Ye Xunhuan, the Marshal and overlord of the underground world, are the son of the former world-renowned Evil King!"

"What do you think you'll face then?"

"Slaughter!" Ye Xunhuan said directly, "Endless slaughter."

"And you still want to do this?"

"As a son, don't you think I should avenge my close kin?" Ye Xunhuan said coldly, "Besides, I won't need to find them one by one, those from back then will all damn well start jumping out one by one!"

"And don't think the king is a fool. If Ke Qinghong can figure out whose son I am, don't you think the king can't guess either?"
