Chapter 2416 - 2417: This Can’t Be the Only Thing You Want

Sponsored

Previously, Ye Xunhuan had seen Qin Fangbin before, and Qin Fangbin was in a high position, so someone like Qin Fangbin wouldn’t normally neglect his health.

But now Qin Fangbin is half-dead, and Ke Qinghong’s appearance here makes Ye Xunhuan have to suspect that all this is related to Ke Qinghong!

Ke Qinghong chuckled softly, "You’re very smart!"

"Just as I thought!" Ye Xunhuan said calmly, without a hint of surprise, "Regardless, isn’t Qin Fangbin your man? What good does it do you to turn him into this?"

"You’re so smart, do you need me to remind you?" Ke Qinghong said evenly.

Ye Xunhuan paused and then fell silent, looking thoughtful.

Soon after, as if he figured something out, a sharp glint shot out from Ye Xunhuan’s eyes, as sharp as a dagger.

"It’s Mu Ge, you’re after Mu Ge!" Ye Xunhuan said through gritted teeth.

"Smart indeed, no need to be pointed in the right direction!" Ke Qinghong genuinely praised, "Now that Qin Fangbin is in this state, Qin Muge can’t possibly leave."

Ye Xunhuan said nothing, his fists slowly clenching as he looked at Ke Qinghong with a gaze filled with dark killing intent, wishing he could tear Ke Qinghong to pieces right away.

All along, Ye Xunhuan hadn’t thought much of it, but now, one sentence from Ke Qinghong forced him to think more, and it turns out everything was exactly as Ye Xunhuan suspected; Ke Qinghong indeed wanted to use Qin Muge.

As for why Ke Qinghong wanted to use Qin Muge, it was nothing but because of Ye Xunhuan.

Other than that, Ye Xunhuan really couldn’t think of any other reason.

After all, the relationship between Qin Muge and Ye Xunhuan was there, and as long as Qin Muge could be taken down, it would mean having one more weapon against Ye Xunhuan.

At least in Ye Xunhuan’s view, Ke Qinghong saw Qin Muge as a weapon.

Indeed, as Ye Xunhuan thought, Ke Qinghong truly was using Qin Muge as a weapon.

"Now, Qin Muge’s heart is almost entirely fixated on Qin Fangbin. Even if you tell Qin Muge the truth, she probably won’t believe you, right?"

"Does Qin Fangbin know that something is wrong with his body because of you?"

"What do you think?"

"Old bastard, really trying to fool me!"

Previously, Qin Fangbin told Ye Xunhuan that he had been abandoned by Ke Qinghong, but now what Ye Xunhuan learned from Ke Qinghong completely contradicted what Qin Fangbin had said.

"Ye Xunhuan, you’re quite a character too, but there are too many weaknesses on you." Ke Qinghong said lightly, "Every woman around you is your weakness."

"And all I need to do is grab one and completely control her, and between you and me, I am already undefeatable!"

Ke Qinghong wasn’t exaggerating with these words.

Previously, the king had told Ye Xunhuan that women were just ornaments on a crown, not to be taken too seriously, otherwise not only would the crown be taken away, but one’s life might be lost as well.

But Ye Xunhuan wasn’t the king, nor was he Ke Qinghong; he really couldn’t treat his women just as ornaments.

Precisely because of this, Ye Xunhuan was now in a passive position.

Everything was just as Ke Qinghong said, even if he told Qin Muge the truth right now, she might not necessarily believe it.

Then again, if Ye Xunhuan were the kind of heartless person, he wouldn’t be Ye Xunhuan, and Olivia wouldn’t help Ye Xunhuan like that, nor would there be so many people around him.

"Ye Xunhuan, no matter if you can achieve being number one in the world, as long as you have weaknesses, you can never be number one!" Ke Qinghong said lightly, "Cut them loose, and you can truly be invincible, become a real emperor, become a true king!"

"I’m not you!"

"Ye Xunhuan, throughout history, which emperor didn’t treat women as pieces of interest, as tools, as ornaments..."

"If I really did that, what leverage would you have to threaten me?"

"Then I can just see what height you, Ye Xunhuan, can reach!"

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?"

"When you reach a certain height, I’ll know I’m not your match; how could I still appear in front of you?" Ke Qinghong laughed and said, "Furthermore, I can hide for over twenty years; now that I’m this age, I’m even more aware that some things can be good, but the premise is to keep my own life!"

"Otherwise, everything is meaningless!"

Then Ke Qinghong’s tone shifted and he said again, "But again, now you’re in my control!"

"What exactly do you want?" Ye Xunhuan asked, staring darkly at Ke Qinghong.

"An alliance!" Ke Qinghong said lightly, "You and I team up to take down the king and his people, and as for you and me, we’ll discuss it after we deal with them!"

"How do I know you won’t stab me in the back?"

"Then you can choose not to cooperate!" Ke Qinghong said lightly, "But Qin Muge will remain here, and I have an absolute way to make her target you!"

"You..."

"Ye Xunhuan, for so long, I haven’t touched Qin Muge, I’ve already shown you quite a bit of face!" Ke Qinghong exhaled a muffled breath from his mouth, "Don’t be ungrateful and force a situation where lovers harm each other!"

Ye Xunhuan said nothing, staring darkly at Ke Qinghong.

Although Ye Xunhuan hadn’t dealt much with Ke Qinghong, Ke Qinghong was definitely not an easy opponent; if he said he could do it, odds were, he could.

Moreover, if he could make Wei Ya willingly die for him, then he must be confident he could make Qin Muge and himself turn on each other, even though a similar situation had already occurred when Qin Muge fell into the hands of the darkness before.

Seeing Ye Xunhuan’s silence, Ke Qinghong didn’t rush him, but quietly waited for Ye Xunhuan to speak.

About five minutes later, Ye Xunhuan slowly opened his mouth and said, "If I agree with you, can you ensure that Mu Ge won’t continue to stay here?"

"That’s certainly impossible now!" Ke Qinghong refused outright, "If I let Qin Muge go, you would hide her. Where would I find her?"

"But rest assured, as long as you cooperate, I won’t harm her in the slightest!" Ke Qinghong assured Ye Xunhuan confidently.

"You probably don’t want to cooperate with me on just this matter, right?"

In Ye Xunhuan’s view, if Ke Qinghong only wanted to join forces with him to deal with the king and Lin Yuhai, there was no need to go through all this trouble!

But now, Ke Qinghong was going through all this trouble, making Ye Xunhuan feel that Ke Qinghong certainly had other matters in mind!
