Chapter 2045: Chapter 2046: I Can Help the Person Behind You

At this moment, the villa was peaceful, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that there was singing and dancing in perfect harmony.

Groups of people were gathered, talking and laughing, raising their glasses and toasting each other. Everything seemed extremely harmonious, with no one detecting that danger was slowly creeping closer.

Ye Xunhuan was also like this.

Even Ye Xunhuan did not realize that they were under someone else’s surveillance at that moment.

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan was staying with Qiu Ruoxi.

Perhaps it was because Jeremiah stood up for Qiu Ruoxi that many people came to acquaint themselves with her.

Although Qiu Ruoxi was usually somewhat aloof, she did not shut people out while facing these business elites. However, she did not appear too enthusiastic either, remaining as she always did.

In response to Qiu Ruoxi’s attitude, everyone still wore smiling faces on the surface, not showing any dissatisfaction.

But as for whether they were saying anything in their hearts, no one knew.

A few sentences of conversation revealed that Qiu Ruoxi was from Huaxia and the CEO of the Imperial Map Group. However, many people did not know about the Imperial Map Group, but even so, they pretended to know, displaying a very hypocritical demeanor.

But it’s normal to think about it; not only in the business world, but even in reality, don’t many people maintain a hypocritical façade when talking to each other?

Ye Xunhuan had always been uninterested in business affairs.

In Ye Xunhuan’s view, everyone in front of him had a little abacus in their hearts. No matter who they were talking to, the little abacus in their hearts was constantly calculating!

So Ye Xunhuan disliked dealing with businessmen and the atmosphere in the business world.

Just at this moment, Bernie silently appeared in everyone’s sight and was now smiling and chatting with Ye Qing by Anpei’s side.

"Miss Anpei, I just noticed you don’t seem to get along with Mr. Ye?" Bernie asked with a grin.

"I never expected Mr. Bernie to still be paying attention to me!" Ye Qing said lightly.

"Of course!" Bernie replied with admiration on his face. "A beauty like Miss Anpei is the center of attention wherever she goes. Besides, I have long admired Miss Anpei!"

"Really?"

"Miss Anpei doesn’t need to doubt my words!" Bernie said very seriously. "I’m speaking from the bottom of my heart!"

"Miss Anpei should know what Ye Xunhuan is. Let me advise you, don’t get into a fight with him. Otherwise, you’ll be the one who suffers." Bernie said blandly, "Of course, whether you listen or not is entirely up to you."

"It seems Mr. Bernie knows him very well."

"Just a little bit." Bernie said softly while staring at Ye Qing. "I don’t know what grudges Miss Anpei has with him. I wonder if I can help?"

"Mr. Bernie, you were just advising me against acting against him. Now you are trying to provoke me?"

With that, Ye Qing started to scrutinize Bernie back and forth.

Ye Qing was the daughter of the Anpei family, reputed as the most outstanding Onmyoji since the days of Seimei, naturally possessing an Exquisite Heart.

From her conversation with Bernie, Ye Qing could feel that Bernie harbored no goodwill towards Ye Xunhuan, even with a hint of hostility.

Although this hostility was slight, she could distinctly sense it.

Bernie replied with a smile on his face, "It’s not about provoking. I just wanted to see if I can help. After all, I’ve long admired Miss Anpei and naturally don’t want to see the object of my admiration get bullied!"

Bernie, the seasoned operator, left nothing out in his words.

Ye Qing scanned Bernie up and down, then said lightly, "Mr. Bernie, do you think I would believe your words?"

Ye Qing did acknowledge her looks, but she didn’t believe she could charm Bernie.

Make Bernie willingly help her in any way.

One must have self-awareness when living, and Ye Qing always had that.

She also firmly believed that there’s no free lunch in the world.

"Mr. Bernie, if you have something to say, we might as well get straight to the point. Beating around the bush is meaningless!"

"Refreshing!" Bernie chuckled. "As expected from the Anpei family!"

Saying so, Bernie glanced at Ye Xunhuan sidelong, then continued, "Miss Anpei should know Jeremiah, right?"

"The second soul of the Wittgenstein family, I naturally know."

"But does Miss Anpei know that Ye Xunhuan is the man behind the Wittgenstein family?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Do you think I wouldn’t know?" Ye Qing said lightly. "Mr. Bernie, I think some words can be omitted; there’s no need to say everything."

"The Wittgenstein family and our Rothschild family are both large consortia, each trying to suppress the other. But no one can gain the upper hand now. If the Wittgenstein family loses the protection of Ye Xunhuan, the overlord of the underground world, what do you think will happen to our Rothschild family?"

With a playful smile slowly appearing on Bernie’s lips.

If anyone else heard this sentence, they’d surely be shocked, but Ye Qing remained unchanged, looking quite calm: "Mr. Bernie’s appetite is really big!"

"Who would mind having too much money?"

"Indeed!" Ye Qing agreed, "Mr. Bernie, do you want to join forces to deal with Ye Xunhuan?"

"No, no!" Bernie shook his head directly. "It’s just to give Miss Anpei a little help; everything else is up to you."

"As for the final result, it has nothing to do with me, and I know nothing about it."

Bernie was clearly telling Ye Qing that he could help her with something, but afterward, whether she succeeded or not had nothing to do with him. It was entirely the business of the Anpei family.

He cleared everything upfront.

"Mr. Bernie is clever, paying a small price for greater benefits." Ye Qing said softly. "But I’m not stupid, and I won’t do such unprofitable business."

"It doesn’t matter!" Bernie said faintly. "For our Rothschild family, it makes no difference; there’s no change whatsoever."

"However, if Mr. Bernie truly wants to cooperate with me, I do have a proposal." Ye Qing’s tone shifted slightly!

"What proposal?"

"I can help the people behind you get what he wants." Ye Qing lowered her voice. "But he also needs to help me get what I want!"
