Liu Zixuan and Jiang Yiyi stayed in the living room for about two hours before Liu Ruyan slowly walked out of the bedroom.

It was clear that Liu Ruyan had just been crying. Her eyes were red, and her complexion was still a bit pale, making one feel an ache in the heart.

Jiang Yiyi invited her to sit beside her and was about to speak when Liu Ruyan spoke first, "No need to persuade me, I'm much better. It's impossible for me to immediately accept this reality, I need some time."

"You're very strong," Jiang Yiyi genuinely admired.

At such a time, any other girl would have lost her rationality long ago, but Liu Ruyan was fine and could still control herself.

Liu Ruyan gave a faint smile and then looked at Liu Zixuan, "Now... what should we do?"

Liu Zixuan rubbed his chin and smiled, "Let's take it one step at a time. It was originally a very big game, but it was also disrupted by Liu Yunfeng's sudden move."

"So now we're in a better position. The Wang and Hao families must be in chaos, not knowing what to do."

Indeed, according to the previous thoughts of Wang Zilin and Wang Long, they wanted the Hao family to fight with Liu Zixuan first, and then they would benefit from it.

But unexpectedly, the Hao family couldn't defeat Liu Zixuan.

If it were just the Hao family getting involved, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.

But Liu Yunfeng employed such despicable means to get Liu Ruyan to marry Wang Zilin as soon as possible.

He used it, yet suffered a bitter defeat at Liu Zixuan's hands, ultimately failing.

And because of Liu Yunfeng's rash move, he disrupted the Wang family's game.

Liu Ruyan frowned slightly, "So now we have time to do other things?"

"What do you want to do?" Liu Zixuan asked.

"Let's leave, go back to Lingxiu Village and stop caring about the matters here."

Liu Ruyan wasn't dumb. In just three days, the Wang family's young lords, the people sent by the Hao family, Liu Yunfeng—all suffered losses at Liu Zixuan's hands.

The events that follow are imaginable; they will surely target Liu Zixuan with revenge in mind.

If they stayed in Yuqing City at this time, Liu Zixuan would undoubtedly be the most dangerous.

Liu Zixuan grinned bitterly, "Leave? Can we really leave? I don't want to bring their vengeance to Lingxiu Village."

"But…" Liu Ruyan clenched her fist and said, "If we don't leave, you'll surely be at the center of danger. If the three families really join forces, you definitely won't manage on your own."

Jiang Yiyi listened to Liu Ruyan's analysis and nodded in agreement, "If that's the case, it might be best to lie low. With your capabilities, you can develop anywhere. Leave for a while. When the three families calm down, come back. Take Ruyan with you."

Liu Zixuan scoffed, "What are you guys doing? Is it the end of the world? It's not that serious, right?"

"How is it not serious? Although the Hao family is weak, for Hao Shuai, they will definitely exert great effort, and you've just hurt me... hurt that scum Liu Yunfeng, and you offended Wang Zilin from the Wang family. If they join forces, no one in Yuqing City can stand up to them," Liu Ruyan said anxiously.

Liu Zixuan shrugged indifferently, "In my dictionary, the word retreat never existed."

"Why are you still being so macho? Is now the time to play the hero?" Liu Ruyan frowned; she really didn't want anything to happen to Liu Zixuan.

After all, this all started because of her.

If something were to happen to Liu Zixuan, what would she do?

The warm family she once relied on had shattered, and now the only person Liu Ruyan could trust and depend on was Liu Zixuan.

He was Liu Ruyan's entire support. If this support were to fall, could Liu Ruyan continue to live?

Jiang Yiyi hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "How about... I call some people from my family? But doing so means I might not be able to stay here, I'd have to obediently return to the family."

Seeing Jiang Yiyi's hesitant look, Liu Zixuan laughed, "Save it. I still remember Zhai Yongxing and Uncle Liangzi by your side. If they come, they will definitely make things bigger."

"But you..." Jiang Yiyi began to say.

"Me?"

Liu Zixuan smiled confidently, "Just three families, I haven't even taken them seriously."

"Besides, my little master's dream of marrying ten wives, living in a building, driving luxury cars, and reaching the peak of life isn't fulfilled yet. Do you think anything will happen to me?"

Liu Ruyan and Jiang Yiyi exchanged glances, both expressing helplessness.

Even at this time, he couldn't help but joke. How broad a mind is that!

Liu Zixuan grinned and said, "Alright, stop thinking about it so much. It's mealtime too, let me make something for you, alright?"

"You really know how to cook?" Liu Ruyan asked in surprise.

"Who do you look down on?" Liu Zixuan rolled up his sleeves and headed straight to the kitchen.

Jiang Yiyi snorted, "I, the young lady, must see what you can cook up!"

...

At the same time, in the Wang family villa living room.

Wang Long looked at the pale-faced Liu Yunfeng beside him, "Old Liu, you're really confused. What are you rushing for? Step by step, that girl Ruyan marrying my son is just a matter of time."

Wang Long didn't know that Liu Yunfeng intended to do such a beastly thing, he only thought Liu Yunfeng wanted to force Liu Ruyan to marry Wang Zilin.

Liu Yunfeng sighed, "I was too hasty, Brother Long, what should we do now?"

"What to do?"

Wang Long took a deep breath, "The whole situation of this chess game is still under our control. The Hao family has a deep hatred for Liu Zixuan, right? Let's deploy this piece. If the Hao family can kill Liu Zixuan, that's best; if not, we'll act in the shadows and let the Hao family take the blame."

"This way... isn't it too..." Liu Yunfeng hesitated.

"Despicable?" Wang Long laughed coldly, "Those who achieve great things don't worry about small trifles. Besides, if the Hao family is eradicated, Yuqing City will belong to our two families in the future, with one less to share the spoils. Isn't that better?"

"Uncle Liu, I have a good plan to get the Hao family to completely clash with Liu Zixuan..." At this moment, Wang Zilin approached with a sinister smile.

...

In Zhu Yi's home at Hanlin North Garden.

Zhu Yi toyed with a trinket in his hand and laughed, "I didn't expect Doctor Liu to become the key figure in this game."

Wang Kun shook his head beside him, "No, according to his understanding of himself, he wouldn't be content with being a pawn. Instead, he would want to be the one playing the game!"

"I noticed that too," Zhu Yi smiled, "What do you plan to do?"

"Help Brother Xuan in the shadows. The situation is quite clear now, all three families intend to deal with Brother Xuan, and the weakest of them is the Hao family. So, we'll start with them as a warning to others!" Wang Kun said solemnly.

...

ps: A massive storm is about to unfold—will Liu Zixuan be the pawn or the player in the game?
