"Ouyang Gong's network of connections, infiltrated through money and power, is not as indestructible as it seems. If a single point of entry can be created, then these intricate relationships will allow me to secure key evidence."
Ouyang Kai's pinky finger tapped lightly on the leather sofa, his demeanor still nonchalant, yet the aura he exuded had become sharp and imposing.
"In just three days, I will orchestrate a complete overhaul of the Ouyang clan on Lijin Island. All I need is your full authorization."
He gazed at the Ouyang clan leader, his eyes like those of a predatory leopard, having fixed its target. With just one command, it would furiously pounce and tear into its prey.
On Ouyang clan leader's aged face, etched with the passage of time, a long-lost spark of impulse surfaced – the allure of bloodline inheritance.
"Good."
A single word, heavier than a thousand pounds, yet equivalent to a vast delegation of power.
Ouyang Kai's lips curled upwards, confidence and arrogance gleaming in his eyes. He continued, "As for the unspeakable things in the Yinshan Laboratory, they were merely a weak base under Ouyang Gong's control. The people there lived and died for profit. Today, those who proclaimed themselves idealistic and principled medical workers have long since succumbed to the slaves of money and greed. That place is in utter disarray."
"Even if the location is strategically important, Ouyang Gong's stubborn defense will change nothing."
Ouyang Kai's words seemed to rekindle a lost brilliance in the Ouyang clan leader's somber gaze.
He was deeply gratified to see his son grow through this ordeal.
He had been waiting for this day, and it filled him with both satisfaction and surprise…
"Since you have made up your mind, then go ahead," the Ouyang clan leader said calmly.
Ouyang Kai was unaware of his father's true thoughts, but his past experience of having his opinions coldly dismissed taught him that this time, his father trusted him.
A surge of determination to prove himself and impress his father filled him with excitement.
"Alright, you just wait and see."
Ouyang Kai spoke with conviction, his previously nonchalant and unfocused posture instantly becoming serious.
The Ouyang clan leader felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.
He quietly observed his son, noticing how much thinner he had become. He didn't inquire about Ouyang Kai's recent experiences, but from snippets of conversation, he understood the hardships he had endured.
"Go," the Ouyang clan leader said gently.
Leaving the Ouyang clan leader's presence, Ouyang Kai felt a surge of fighting spirit, and his mood lightened considerably.
"Young Master." A Da and A Xiao were waiting outside the door, their expressions a little hesitant.
"What is it, looking so shifty?"
Ouyang Kai glanced at his two subordinates and then walked towards the eighth floor.
A Da and A Xiao noticed that their young master seemed to be in a good mood today. In the past, after every discussion with the clan leader, he would be in a somber mood for a while. Today was different.
Could it be that the clan leader was finally showing some concern for the young master?
Then, Ouyang Kai arrived on the eighth floor, where Su Ding, Jin Ye, and Yin Xue were chatting in the living room.
"Sister Yin, don't worry, I can definitely handle this matter," Su Ding said to Yin Xue with a gentle smile.
A hint of a smile also bloomed on Yin Xue's serene face.
Ouyang Kai strode in, observing their harmonious interaction, and felt even more strongly that Yin Xue rightfully belonged to him.
It was good that she got along so well with his niece.
The corners of his mouth turned up as he knocked on the door.
The three looked up at the sound. Su Ding was the first to call out, her eyes bright with a smile, "Uncle."
"What are you chatting about?"
Ouyang Kai looked at them, walked into the room, his gaze lingering particularly on Yin Xue.
Su Ding exchanged a glance with Jin Ye, their smiles holding a hidden meaning. "Sister Yin was saying that when I return to the Southern Territory, she wants me to persuade Yin Bo not to make any rash decisions."
Ouyang Kai let out an "Oh," and nodded repeatedly. "I'll go and persuade that kid as well. Men should be able to let go of what they can't hold onto."
"It's getting late, I should go back and rest. Ding Ding, Mr. Jin, I'll take my leave now."
Yin Xue said to the two of them and prepared to stand up and leave.
Ouyang Kai grabbed her wrist with one hand. "Don't rush, I have something to say."
Yin Xue quickly withdrew her hand, frowned, and shot him a glance. "Speak."
"Sit first."
Ouyang Kai gestured to the sofa, his expression returning to seriousness.
