Yi Chengxuan ignored Denise and continued to educate Yue Xin. “People will always let down their guard when they’re certain of victory. That moment of relaxation is enough to turn the tables.”
Yue Xin understood this time. “I see. Thank you, Yi Chengxuan.”
Yi Chengxuan wanted to say,” Is that all you think about?” But he did not.
Instead, he said, “You’re welcome. You can ask E.P. to teach you the art of languages.”
Yue Xin nodded. “Okay.”

Denise looked at the happy and harmonious people. No one felt any emotion because of her misfortune. At this moment, she finally understood that in the Land of the Fallen, her appearance could bring her nothing but calamity. She did not have the strength to protect herself, but she was too arrogant. She deserved it. At this point, it seemed that she had no choice but to become a man’s plaything.
Just as Denise was sinking into despair, she heard Yue Xin call out to her, “Denise, it’s time to eat.”
Denise heard Yue Xin call her name in the same tone as before and looked up in surprise. What did Yue Xin mean?
Yue Xin saw that Denise was still stunned and knew what she was thinking. She said, “Don’t worry about what Yi Chengxuan said. I’ll protect you and your siblings, as long as you don’t betray me again.”
Hearing this, Yi Chengxuan didn’t say anything, but his brows visibly relaxed a little. She learned really quickly.
At this moment, it was just a seemingly casual sentence, but Denise immediately agreed as if she was grasping at straws. “Of course, I definitely won’t do it again.”
Denise’s urgent look was completely different from the one Yue Xin had seen yesterday and this morning. So this was how a person looked when they were forced into a corner.
Yue Xin nodded and held Denise’s hand as they walked to the dining room. She also knew that what Denise said about not betraying was that she couldn’t. Denise had no choice. If she had to rely on one person to get out of the hopeless situation, Yue Xin was her best choice.
Just as Yi Chengxuan had said, when a person was forced to only have one choice, he would firmly grasp the last choice and never betray it.
However, Yue Xin had a question. Was Yi Chengxuan setting up Denise to help her?
Yue Xin wanted to ask directly, but after thinking about it, every time she said what was on her mind, Yi Chengxuan’s expression was very complicated, so she changed her question. “You broke the agreement. You didn’t keep the deal with Denise.”
Yue Xin’s words seemed to be an accusation, reminding Yi Chengxuan of the deal with Yue Xin.
Yi Chengxuan didn’t look embarrassed at all, as if he wasn’t worried that Yue Xin would suspect him because of this, but he still explained to Yue Xin, “The so-called deal is under the condition that both sides pay equally. If the benefits one side can give are far less than the other, this isn’t a deal, it’s a lesson.”

Hurry up and listen to him.”
Denise cowered beside Yue Xin, not wanting to listen to Yi Chengxuan. Yue Xin also knew the answer she wanted.
The few of them went to the restaurant as if nothing had happened. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
The subordinates who had obtained the information hurriedly ran to E.P. to report. E.P. listened excitedly.
He knew that Denise was the woman that the guy on the 35th floor had recently taken a fancy to. At first, he thought that this woman had revealed the cards to him to please him. After all, everyone knew that the only person who could control the kid on the 35th floor was him. But later, he realized that Denise’s method of sending news was a little similar to the one Yi Chengxuan had used before. He suspected that Denise was actually Yi Chengxuan’s person.
When Yue Xin lost consecutively and her chips were getting bigger and bigger, E.P. could actually confirm that Denise was working for Yi Chengxuan, but he didn’t know what her motive was. He only guessed that Yi Chengxuan probably wanted Yue Xin to lose everything. After all, such a person was easier to control. In the end, he was wrong. He really couldn’t outplay that old fox Yi Chengxuan.
It seemed like he was setting up a trap for Yue Xin, but he was actually using Denise to confuse E.P. with the intent to destroy Denise’s mentality, so she would completely submit to Yue Xin after discovering that she had no choice.
“Yue Xin has something on her. Not only did No.12 give up his identity as a prison guard to look after her, but Yi Chengxuan is also helping her. I have to buy some news about Yue Xin,” E.P. sat in the chair and muttered to himself.
When his subordinates heard E.P.’s words, they reminded him softly, “Boss, a
few guys came here from Building No. 3 a few days ago and were unwilling to return to Building No.3. Now that Building No. 3 is short of manpower, the price of information has increased again..”
