Chapter 254: Chapter 254: Make the Leng Family Fall Apart

Shi Yiqing didn’t know that, in Wang Zhehai’s eyes, she was just a tool that could be used.

In fact, the person Wang Zhehai was interested in was Shi Yaoguang, not her.

The most heartbreaking thing was...

She was just a tool Wang Zhehai used for fishing...

Or rather, she was the bait.

...

Let’s turn to a different matter.

While Shi Yiqing was successfully deceived, Shi Yaoguang was still contemplating whether to agree to act in the film.

When Quan Jinbei saw that she had gotten into the car without saying a word, he couldn’t help but take the initiative to ask, "Who was that person just now?"

Shi Yaoguang said, "Wang Zhehai, a gold-medal director in the entertainment industry..."

Hearing this from her, Quan Jinbei nodded and said, "I remember now."

"What does he want from you?"

Twirling her hair, Shi Yaoguang sent him a wink and deliberately said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "What do you think a director would want from me?"

If a director approaches someone...

There seems to be no other possibility than filming.

However, Quan Jinbei couldn’t help but feel that acting in movies and his little lady didn’t quite match up.

"Do you want to act in films?"

It took him a while before he asked.

Shi Yaoguang shook her head, "I haven’t decided yet."

"Hmm."

Quan Jinbei could tell that when she said she hadn’t decided, it didn’t mean she wasn’t going.

It implied that she indeed wanted to act in films.

Shi Yaoguang didn’t intend to hide it from him, "I really do want to try acting, but... I haven’t made up my mind about it yet."

"What’s the issue?"

"I still need to investigate further."

Shi Yaoguang didn’t offer any in-depth explanation, after all... it was something she couldn’t clarify herself.

Quan Jinbei was already accustomed to her attitude and simply expressed his support for her acting ambitions.

"Just go ahead and do whatever you want to do, without worrying about anything else."

"Mm~" Shi Yaoguang nodded, "Third Master, you’re really kind~"

Quan Jinbei gave her a helpless look, "When have I ever been unkind?"

"Third Master, at any time, you are always the best."

Praise came easily to Shi Yaoguang.

Quan Jinbei was almost immune to it by now, "As long as you know."

"Hehe~"

Shi Yaoguang looked at him with a smiling gaze.

"By the way, how is the situation with the Leng Family going?"

She suddenly remembered to ask.

Quan Jinbei said, "It’s almost dealt with, the criminal police captain turns out to be trustworthy."

A week had passed since Cheng Lingdang was kidnapped.

In dealing with the Leng Family, not only Cheng Xingjian took action, but the criminal police captain also made a move.

The Leng Family was now on the brink, on the cusp of great danger.

One wrong move, and they could lose everything.

"Cheng Xingjian has submitted evidence of the Leng Family’s crimes to his superiors, and the criminal police captain added fuel to the fire, successfully uncovering evidence of the Leng Family’s collaboration with foreign forces..."

With pressure from both Cheng Family and the criminal police captain, the Leng Family was having trouble even protecting themselves.

After summarizing the situation, Quan Jinbei concluded, "The current state is enough to force the Leng Family to reveal their hand."

"Just revealing their hand?" Shi Yaoguang frowned, clearly unsatisfied.

Quan Jinbei reached out to tuck a stray hair behind her ear as he began to analyze the current status of the Leng Family with her.

"The Leng Family has been in a gray area for many years, and their influence is deeply entrenched. Under such circumstances, it’s nearly impossible to bring them down in one fell swoop. Letting the Leng Family drag on and forcing them to protect their own hand is undoubtedly the best approach."

"Although that’s the case, I still feel that the Leng Family must be eliminated as soon as possible."

Shi Yaoguang spoke, puffing up her cheeks and revealing a distressed expression.

"What’s wrong?"

"I’m thinking about how to give the Leng Family a push..."

When Quan Jinbei saw she was serious, he also discussed the matter earnestly with her.

"To bring about the collapse of the Leng Family is not without methods."

"You have a way?" Shi Yaoguang’s eyes brightened.

"Hmm," Quan Jinbei affirmed, "The best way to bring about the collapse of the Leng Family is to make them willingly disintegrate their family power."

Shi Yaoguang pursed her lips, "Make the Leng Family willingly fall apart from within? Impossible, right?"

"How do you know it’s impossible if you haven’t tried?"

"It’s obvious it’s impossible," Shi Yaoguang’s eyes rolled, "It might be impossible to make the Leng Family collapse internally, but it’s still feasible to give Leng Yuchen trouble."

"If I remember correctly, in addition to Leng Yuchen, the young master, the Leng Family also has an adopted son, right?"

Leng Yuchen’s father had sustained serious injuries on a mission years ago.

A couple saved him, and after they both fell ill and died, he took their biological son and raised him as his own adopted child.

Leng Yuchen was five years younger than that child.

"Indeed, the adopted son of the Leng Family is an excellent seedling, but..."

"But what?"

"He is very grateful for his foster father’s appreciation, and he is unlikely to harbour any intentions of rebellion easily."

That was also why Leng Yuchen could securely hold the position of young master.

The adopted son of the Leng Family not only had no thoughts of fighting with Leng Yuchen for power and position,

but he even took a step back voluntarily to safeguard Leng Yuchen’s interests.

After hearing Quan Jinbei’s explanation, Shi Yaoguang’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

"He doesn’t have a rebellious heart?"

"I doubt that..." Shi Yaoguang said and leaned into Quan Jinbei’s ear, whispering a few words in a lower voice.

Upon hearing this, Quan Jinbei showed a surprised expression, "Are you sure this information is accurate?"

Shi Yaoguang shrugged her shoulders, "Whether the news is true or not, isn’t it better to let him find out for himself?"

Quan Jinbei nodded in agreement.

However, her supremely confident demeanor made it clear that she was certain the information was true.

"If the biological parents of the Leng Family’s adopted son were indeed killed by Leng Yuchen’s father, then... it would indeed be a lot easier for the Leng Family to disintegrate internally."

"Who’s to say not?"

The tone of Shi Yaoguang’s voice carried a hint of a sigh.

Speaking of which, the Leng Family’s adopted son was a pitiable person as well.

By rights, she shouldn’t know such a person.

Yet she did know about him.

And there was only one way she could’ve learned of this.

That was...

Family grudges and favors!

In her previous life, after Shi Yiqing and Quan Sicheng got together, Leng Yuchen, the deeply affectionate second male lead, naturally had to make his exit.

However, how to make his exit in a way that satisfied everyone was not easy to handle.

For this reason,

Heavenly Dao orchestrated a melodramatic twist.

That was...

After the Leng Family’s adopted son helped Leng Yuchen rise to power, he unexpectedly discovered that his biological parents had been killed by his foster father.

His foster father’s earlier claims, that he took him in because his biological parents had saved him, were all deceptive lies.

The truth was...

Leng Yuchen’s biological father, Leng Qian, had raped the adopted son’s biological mother.

And he had been conceived in that very incident.

Latter, when Leng Qian learned that his victim was pregnant with his offspring, he didn’t hesitate to snatch the child away.

In the struggle, the adopted son’s biological mother and father were pushed to the ground, accidentally impaled by a steel nail, leading to the death of both parents.

Leng Qian took advantage of the situation to bring the child home, falsely claiming he was taken in as a gratitude for saving his life.
