Yin Long?

Everyone except for Zhang Ran and his group was stunned!

The Qiu Qianyang in front of them suddenly said that he was not actually called Qiu Qianyang, but rather someone named Yin Long, and most crucially, he and Zhang Ran seemed to have gotten together somehow.

Mu Jinyuan was also momentarily dumbfounded; he suddenly could not process what was going on either.

But after a while, he understood, and he pointed at Qiu Qianyang with an expression of utter disbelief!

"Impossible, you're lying to me, Yin Long doesn't look like you at all." Mu Jinyuan's mindset was already beginning to collapse at this moment.

At this time, the fact that Qiu Qianyang, in whom he had placed high hopes, had actually turned against him was already unacceptable, but what he found even more unacceptable was Qiu Qianyang's identity!

Qiu Qianyang—no, Yin Long—had a calm expression now, though his eyes were filled with excitement when he looked at Zhang Ran and the others.

He and Zhang Ran had not yet truly reunited; when he arrived downstairs just now, Zhang Ran was already waiting for him, and then the two of them simply exchanged a glance, said nothing, and walked straight up.

"I didn't look like this before, but surely you know there is a type of surgery in this world called plastic surgery," Yin Long said in a calm tone.

"Impossible, impossible." Mu Jinyuan already refused to believe it.

He had met Yin Long back in the day, and because he was actually worried about certain things, he had been particularly attentive to certain people and events from that time, especially those who stayed by Zhang Ran's side.

He had received no news about He Yong because he had gone to prison, and the others had all disappeared one by one; over these many years, Mu Jinyuan had not found any information.

Until now, he had thought it was a case of "when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter," but now being told that someone had actually been lurking by his side all along gave him a sudden, bone-chilling sensation.

Although he said this out loud, deep down, Mu Jinyuan was already starting to believe it, because he thought of Qiu Qianyang's past affairs.

Qiu Qianyang's current appearance was not bad, and as a wealthy man, he had never had a real girlfriend for all these years.

It was only in the second month after Zhang Ran returned that he suddenly brought back a woman and a son.

That was quite a piece of news at the time, and Mu Jinyuan had not previously associated this with Zhang Ran, because no matter how one looked at it, the former Qiu Qianyang and Zhang Ran had not the slightest connection.

"Qiu Qianyang, you are already a big shot now; do you know what you are doing?" Mu Jinyuan quickly steadied his emotions and spoke up.

At this moment, Zhang Ran stopped talking; he went to a chair on his own and sat down, as he also wanted to hear what Yin Long had to say.

Yin Long said with a normal expression: "Of course I know."

"Then you still want to just be a supporting character by Zhang Ran's side? Or rather, just a dog! It is impossible for you to have your current status again, and even more impossible to have this much autonomy; have you thought about all this?" Mu Jinyuan tempted him, while also making his words sound very harsh.

Zhang Ran did not offer a single word of rebuttal; he just silently played with his fingers, as if he did not care about anything at all.

"These things were all earned through your own hard work, and they have nothing to do with Zhang Ran; why should you hand it all over just because he says so? Qiu Qianyang, wake up; in this world, only what is in your own hands is yours," Mu Jinyuan said with an agitated tone.

There was a hint of mockery in Yin Long's eyes. "Mu Jinyuan, do you think we are all like you? Or are you saying you think I enjoy this kind of life?"

"Yes, I am indeed very rich now, and I have a high status, but I actually do not like my current life."

These words seemed like a joke, but Yin Long said them with extreme seriousness.

Mu Jinyuan looked at Yin Long in disbelief; how could anyone not like money?

It could be said that Yin Long's current achievements were basically all his own merit; he had risen to power only after Zhang Ran disappeared.

The others were also somewhat sluggish; in the past, everyone would have been disdainful if someone said such things, but at this moment, they did not know what to say regarding Yin Long's words.

"Also, do you know why I chose to develop in the Hong Kong and Macau region?" Yin Long said.

"Why?" Mu Jinyuan already had some answers in his heart.

Yin Long looked at Mu Jinyuan, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. "Of course, it was to eventually take down everything that belonged to Brother Zhang in the first place."

In this instant, Mu Jinyuan felt a bit dazed; so there had always been someone watching him, and he had actually been living on the tip of someone else's blade all along, ready to strike at him—no, at his entire family—at any moment.

Just imagine, if Zhang Ran had not returned and had truly disappeared completely, judging by everything Yin Long had been doing, he very likely would have done just that.

After all, he had not even acknowledged his own wife and son, even treating them as if they did not exist; such a level of heartlessness already demonstrated his determination.

As for the others, they felt a sense of bone-chilling cold; this was a side of Yin Long they had never seen before.

No, it should be said that what they had faced before was Qiu Qianyang, an image Yin Long had crafted for his own purposes; this was the real Yin Long.

And if Yin Long were truly determined to drag Galaxy Capital down with him, or even suddenly finish off Mu Jinyuan's side, then judging by the way he had taken every step, it was not impossible for him to achieve it.

And at that point, they dared not imagine how great their losses would be; over these years, their investments in Galaxy Capital had never decreased.

Yin Long might even liquidate them as well; although they had not betrayed Zhang Ran, they did not know what Yin Long was thinking.

Mu Jinyuan pointed at Yin Long, unable to say a single word.

He truly did not understand Yin Long, and he understood even less how Yin Long could go to such lengths for Zhang Ran.

"So you mean everything you did before was just acting?" Mu Jinyuan asked, taking a deep breath.

Yin Long said: "Of course, but the seven billion you lost voluntarily last time was not something I designed."

Speaking of this, Mu Jinyuan's expression became even uglier; he understood why Yin Long had insisted on gambling with Zhang Ran at the time—the reason was to give money to Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran was exactly in need of money at that time; Yin Long just wanted to use that method to send money to Zhang Ran, and he was just an accident.

As for why Wang Chen had agreed to it a few days ago, it was easy to understand now; it must have been at Zhang Ran's instruction, and all of this was within Zhang Ran's calculations.

Mu Jinyuan felt a chill in his heart, but soon, he also completely sobered up; now was not the time to be angry with Yin Long.

He stopped paying attention to this Yin Long and looked at Zhang Ran instead.

"Zhang Ran, do you think you've won for sure? You're coming over at this time?" Mu Jinyuan said in a deep voice.
