Chapter 71: Another Trending Topic

Seeing that he couldn’t persuade Ye Xuan, White Snake had no choice but to go to the hospital alone.

Ye Xuan racked his brain, completely at a loss about what to do next. He was already having a hard time choosing between Yang Bingyu and Lin Aoxue, and now, with this sudden turn of events, he was even more unsure of whose side he should stay by.

Meanwhile, Yang Jie, who had been rescued by Su Xiaobai, woke up.

"Su Xiaobai? You saved me?" Yang Jie asked in astonishment when he saw him. His body was still incredibly weak.

In the past, Yang Jie and Su Xiaobai had never gotten along. After all, one was the young master of the Yang family, and the other was the young master of the Su family. He never could have imagined that the person who saved him would be Su Xiaobai.

"You’ve been abandoned by the Yang family. Right now, everyone in Jianghai City wants nothing more than to get rid of you. Who else do you think would save you besides me?" Su Xiaobai sat by the head of Yang Jie’s bed, asking with a half-smile.

"Heh, you’re not that kind-hearted either. Out with it, what do you want to find out from me?" Yang Jie wasn’t stupid. He didn’t believe for a second that Su Xiaobai just happened to pass by that alley, had a sudden prick of conscience, and saved him out of the goodness of his heart. People like them always had an ulterior motive for everything they did.

"Heh, talking to a smart person is so much easier. There’s no need to beat around the bush." Having his intentions seen through, Su Xiaobai wasn’t annoyed. Instead, he smiled, clapped his hands, and praised Yang Jie. "Yang Jie, what on earth did you do to incur such universal wrath? You offended Ye Xuan so badly that your grandfather didn’t hesitate to abandon you just to protect the Yang family?"

Su Xiaobai had to figure this out, as it could very well be a powerful weapon to use against Ye Xuan.

Offended Ye Xuan? What did that mean? What did this have to do with Ye Xuan?

Su Xiaobai’s words left Yang Jie completely baffled. After all, he didn’t know Ye Xuan’s true identity. In his eyes, Ye Xuan was nothing but a useless kept man. He firmly believed that being kicked out of the house was entirely the result of Yang Zhennan venting his anger on behalf of Yang Bingyu.

"Oh, so you still don’t know Ye Xuan’s identity? No wonder," Su Xiaobai said, coming to a sudden realization upon seeing Yang Jie’s expression.

"Ye Xuan’s identity? Isn’t he just a useless piece of trash who relies on women? What kind of incredible identity could he possibly have?" Yang Jie curled his lips, speaking with immense disdain.

"No, no, no. You’ve all been fooled by Ye Xuan. He’s no kept man or useless trash. He is the renowned Cyan Dragon Chief." Su Xiaobai extended a finger and wagged it, revealing Ye Xuan’s true identity with a face full of malice.

Yang Jie was completely dumbfounded. Ye Xuan was the Cyan Dragon Chief? How could that be possible!

"That’s impossible! If he’s the Cyan Dragon Chief, why would he let those idiots from the Lin family bully him for so many years?" Yang Jie absolutely refused to believe that Ye Xuan was the Cyan Dragon Chief. After all, his behavior in the Lin family over the past few years didn’t resemble someone in a position of high power and authority in the slightest.

"If that weren’t the case, why would Yang Zhennan kick you out of the family?" Su Xiaobai’s eyes flashed as he asked with a smile.

"That’s because I schemed against Yang Bingyu, making her and Ye Xuan..." Yang Jie spoke too fast, accidentally blurting out his plot against Yang Bingyu and Ye Xuan.

By the time he realized his slip-up, it was too late. Su Xiaobai’s eyes instantly lit up. Even though Yang Jie hadn’t finished his sentence, he had already guessed what happened to Yang Bingyu!

"HAHAHA, Yang Jie, oh Yang Jie. I didn’t expect you to actually do something like this. Yang Bingyu is your sister. Doesn’t your conscience hurt to scheme against her like this?" Su Xiaobai burst into maniacal laughter. He had thought of countless possibilities, but this was the one thing he hadn’t anticipated.

Yang Bingyu and Ye Xuan? If they had actually slept together, didn’t that mean it was completely over between Ye Xuan and Lin Aoxue? God was truly helping him!

"Sister? She’s just an outsider from nowhere. What right does she have to be my sister?" At the thought of Yang Bingyu, thick hatred immediately surfaced in Yang Jie’s eyes. Even now, he still blamed his expulsion from the family on Yang Bingyu, feeling that it was all her fault that he had been reduced to this state.

Looking at his expression, a scheme formed in Su Xiaobai’s mind. It seemed he had made the right choice in saving Yang Jie. Using a member of the Yang family to deal with the Yang family—if that old bastard Yang Zhennan found out, he would probably cough up blood from pure anger.

"Yang Jie, do you want to take back what belongs to you?" Su Xiaobai stared at Yang Jie, asking with a faint smile.

These words seemed to hold a magical allure, instantly ensnaring Yang Jie. He knew perfectly well that Su Xiaobai had ill intentions in saving him, yet he willingly walked right into the trap. As far as he was concerned, he had no other choice. Other than joining forces with Su Xiaobai, he had no way to deal with Yang Bingyu and Ye Xuan.

"You can help me?" Yang Jie furrowed his brows tightly, asking Su Xiaobai uncertainly.

Since Su Xiaobai knew Ye Xuan’s identity, he should be just as terrified as Yang Zhennan. Why would he want to go against Ye Xuan?

"I know what you’re thinking. Let me tell you, Ye Xuan is nothing in my eyes. I’m not afraid of him at all. As long as you want revenge, I can help you," Su Xiaobai answered bluntly, seeing right through Yang Jie’s thoughts.

After pondering for a long time, Yang Jie finally made up his mind. In his view, everything Yang Bingyu currently possessed should have been his. He was merely taking back what rightfully belonged to him.

"Su Xiaobai, are you truly willing to help me?"

"Truly."

In the end, Su Xiaobai and Yang Jie reached an agreement. Su Xiaobai would help Yang Jie seize back power over the Yang family, and Yang Jie would help Su Xiaobai take down Ye Xuan.

Before the hype over Yang Jie’s expulsion from the family had even died down, an unknown source released another bombshell. The rumor claimed that Yang Bingyu and Ye Xuan had already consummated their relationship and were just waiting to get their marriage certificate.

Lin Aoxue, who had been waiting for Ye Xuan to make a choice, fell into despair once again upon seeing the news.

And Ye Xuan, who had tried every possible method to help Yang Bingyu suppress the information, was thrown into chaos once more. He was absolutely certain that this news was connected to Yang Jie! Everyone in the Yang family who knew the truth had already been silenced by him. Only Yang Jie had slipped through the net.

"Yang Jie! I want you dead!" Ye Xuan slammed his fist into the wall, instantly leaving a crater in it.

His eyes were bloodshot. Aside from a moment of immense fury five years ago, this was the first time in so many years that he felt such a strong urge to kill.

"Dragon Chief, do you want me to find Yang Jie?" White Snake’s face was also extremely grim. He knew something must have happened between Ye Xuan and Yang Bingyu, but he never expected it to be something like this.
