Chapter 306: Reversal

“It’s you?!”

In an instant, Shao An led the guards to restrain Jin Tao and Terrence.

The butler in the corner slowly walked out of the shadows and came to Jin Yang’s side.

Jin Tao gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, his tone filled with reluctance. “Why did you betray me!”

“When did you start being under Jin Yang?”

A conflicted and guilty expression flashed across the butler’s weathered face. Jin Yang understood that it was not easy for him to admit to betrayal. The butler had been by Jin Tao’s side from the time when Jin Tao was just a youth. He had taken care of Jin Tao’s daily life over the years without making a single mistake.

It could be said that the person Jin Tao trusted the most was his butler.

Therefore, the butler’s betrayal infuriated Jin Tao.

Jin Yang sighed and explained, “I realized that something was wrong so I tried to persuade the butler to help me find clues and evidence. He firmly rejected my suggestion and didn’t even care what price I offered. The butler said that you were his boss and also his friend. He would never betray you or hurt you…”

“But half a year ago, his son was hospitalized due to a serious illness. He wanted to discuss with you about leaving the old residence to go back and take care of his son for a period of time.”

Jin Tao’s eyes were blank. A person who ruled the world would not care about the trivial family matters of others. It was just so trivial that he ignored it, but it ended up being the key to Jin Yang successfully bribing the butler!

“You will never understand how important kinship is to others. You rejected the butler. You were worried that he would leave with your secrets. I helped his son settle the hospitalization procedures and arranged for someone to take care of him. So he was willing to give up on you and choose me instead.”

Jin Tao licked the outline of his teeth with the tip of his tongue and shook his head in disdain.

The butler spoke in a hoarse voice, his tone slow but heavy. “Old Master, you are too ruthless.”

“When I first followed you, you had aspirations to be a leader. But slowly, your ambitions became too big and uncontrollably inflated. You wanted everyone to be obedient puppets, but people have feelings.”

“Madam was seriously ill and bedridden back then. She didn’t want you to continue sitting in the president’s seat and had an argument with you.”

“And what did you do? You locked her in her room and forbade anyone from hiring a doctor for her. She died of illness.”

When Jin Yang heard the butler recount the past, dusty and painful memories surfaced in his mind. His body swayed unsteadily. Qiu Tong hurriedly supported his arm and gently placed her slender fingers in his palm. The two of them interlocked their fingers, silently transmitting warmth and companionship.

The butler witnessed Jin Tao’s gradual changes and also understood that if he continued to let things go on, a major mistake would be made.

Therefore, when he learned of the trap today, he secretly communicated information about Jin Tao’s troop deployment to Jin Yang. He also removed the bullets from Jin Tao’s gun.

“Father, when will you understand that winning over the hearts of others is the only way to manage things?”

“Relying on tough methods and so-called mutant armies will never succeed!”

Jin Yang waved his hand, indicating for Shao An to leave with Jin Tao and Terrence.

In the next second, he saw a familiar but unexpected figure appear outside the secret room. Song Yan walked to them with Qiu Xingyuan, Qiu Xingqiao and Little Yu. He placed his finger on the trigger, forcing Shao An to stop.

Song Yan slowly came to Jin Tao’s side and handed him the gun. “Qiu Rong and Ye Luan are both outside.”

“Good, well done!”

Jin Tao patted Song Yan’s shoulder, his eyes filled with relief as he said, “I was right after all.”

“Are you crazy?”

Jin Yang asked with a trembling voice. He did not expect Song Yan to be involved in this. “What you’re doing now might ruin everyone! Qiu Xingyuan and Little Yu are your children. Can you really bear to make use of them?”

“You’re not fit to be a father!”

At this moment, Jin Yang could not be bothered with anything else. Pain flashed across Song Yan’s eyes, but he did not answer.

Jin Tao glanced at Qiu Tong and Jin Yang in surprise. “His children? You… don’t remember what happened in the past?”

These words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing major ripples.

Jin Tao shook his head gently and said, “These children belong to you and Qiu Tong!”

Qiu Tong and Jin Yang stood rooted to the ground. They muttered softly. “What did you say?”

Jin Tao regained control of the situation and said kindly, “Didn’t you find that photo in the Qiu family’s old residence? That’s right, you were once Jin Yang’s lover, and these children are his. It’s just that I realized that you would affect my plan, so I made a preemptive move.”

“Your appearance changed Jin Yang. He started to ignore my orders. He even secretly tracked the Vulture Organization.”

“That’s why I asked the Vulture Organization to hunt you down…”

Jin Yang felt a sharp pain in his temples. Countless memories surged into his mind with Jin Tao’s words.
