Upon receiving Long Yuqing's affirmative response, Ye Tianfan chuckled lightly, walked forward slowly, and said, "It's not about worrying for the country or the people. It's just that the doctor went too far. A doctor has a duty to save lives, but if they become too greedy, they're playing with patients' lives. Anyone in the medical profession should learn to be a good person first, then a good doctor; otherwise, they're not a doctor, but a butcher."

Long Yuqing looked seriously at Ye Tianfan, her lips curved into a charming smile, nodded gently, and said, "There's truth in what you say."

As soon as the words fell, the two continued walking slowly along the Xihang Lake. The night breeze blew, and in the quiet night, only the dim street lamps accompanied them. After walking for about ten minutes, Ye Tianfan turned to look at Long Yuqing, his brow furrowing slightly, and said, "Long Yuqing, are you really going to declare war on the Qin Family?"

As soon as Ye Tianfan spoke, Long Yuqing trembled slightly and immediately stopped walking. Previously, Ye Tianfan had always referred to her as Miss Long, but now he directly called her by name, which made Long Yuqing feel significantly closer.

At this moment, Long Yuqing tilted her head slightly, her almond eyes revealing a touch of tenderness, looked at Ye Tianfan, and asked, "Will you help the Qin Family?"

Upon hearing Long Yuqing's counter-question, Ye Tianfan's face showed a hint of a helpless smile. It seemed Long Yuqing was determined to fight this business war against the Qin Family!

"I'm not interested in business battles, and I certainly won't participate."

Long Yuqing's eyes suddenly brightened, she looked at Ye Tianfan and asked, "Staying neutral? Can you do that?"

Long Yuqing was most worried that Ye Tianfan would help the Qin Family, as that would almost instantly reduce the Long Family's chances of victory by seventy percent! Now that Ye Tianfan openly stated that he was not interested in business battles, it was naturally good news for Long Yuqing! As long as Ye Tianfan didn't help the Qin Family, Long Yuqing would be fearless in this business war!

At this time, Ye Tianfan nodded lightly, turned to look at the glittering lake under the moonlight, and asked, "Are you confident in defeating the Qin Family?"

Long Yuqing shook her shoulder lightly and moved gracefully to Ye Tianfan's side, also looking at the shimmering lake, and said, "If you don't help the Qin Family, I'm confident I can win!"

Upon hearing Long Yuqing's confident tone, Ye Tianfan couldn't help but frown slightly and muttered, "I feel you won't win."

"Why?" Long Yuqing also frowned, lifting her head to look at Ye Tianfan.

"Because you've underestimated someone."

"Who?"

"Elder Qin from the Qin Family."

When mentioning Elder Qin, Ye Tianfan's eyes flashed with brilliance. To this day, Ye Tianfan could never forget Elder Qin's eyes that seemed to penetrate one's soul. Although Ye Tianfan didn't know much about Elder Qin, there was one thing he could be sure of: Elder Qin could become sworn brothers with Elder Ye from the Ye Family, which meant he was absolutely no ordinary person!

At this moment, Long Yuqing's eyes suddenly dimmed, her eyebrows showing a hint of melancholy, and her cheeks carrying a trace of sadness as she softly said, "Yes, our Long Family doesn't have such a pillar-like figure. I envy Qin Ruomeng, who can happily be a rich family's daughter under her grandfather's protection. But I'm different; in our Long Family, everything relies solely on me!"

As she spoke, Long Yuqing's eyes became somewhat moist. She gently raised her jade hand to rub her eyes, then her lips curved into another smile as she said, "Who would choose to struggle in hardship if they could choose a comfortable life? If I'm not strong, no one will feel sad for me!"

The business fight may not be as bloody as a real war, but it's nevertheless a war without smoke. When the winner is revealed, it faces the instant collapse of economic structures, causing families to break apart and scatter!

"Do you know what this lake means to the Long Family?" Long Yuqing looked at the shimmering lake, muttering softly, "I heard that when the Long Family went bankrupt sixty years ago, it was at this Xihang Lake that they drowned themselves."

Hearing this, Ye Tianfan gently raised his arm, placed it on Long Yuqing's shoulder, feeling her delicate body tremble slightly. At this moment, Ye Tianfan's heart softened slightly as he said, "Sorry, for bringing up something sad."

Long Yuqing raised her chin, gave Ye Tianfan a glance, her eyes carrying three points of sadness, and said, "It's okay, anyway, I have never met my grandfather. He passed away before I was born."

Immediately, Long Yuqing sighed softly and said, "Ah, not as fortunate as Qin Ruomeng. It seems I was born at the wrong time. When I was born, the Long Family was at its lowest point, and many things about the Long Family I've only heard of but have never seen what the true peak of the Long Family was like."

Once these words fell, a ruthless light flashed in Long Yuqing's beautiful eyes, and her entire demeanor changed, coldly saying, "Therefore, I want to personally push the Long Family back to its peak! To see with my own eyes what Dragon Ridge at its peak will look like!"

Feeling Long Yuqing's sudden change, Ye Tianfan felt indescribable emotions in his heart, unsure whether to feel pity for her or to cheer her on.

At this moment, Ye Tianfan felt that Long Yuqing was like a puppet brainwashed by family consciousness, solely focused on pushing the Long Family to its peak again. Yet he felt Long Yuqing wasn't like that. Logically, since the Qin Family crushed the Long Family sixty years ago, she should be filled with hatred against the Qin Family. But perhaps she hadn't personally experienced the business war sixty years ago! Long Yuqing's eyes appeared so pure, occasionally flashing ruthless light but not filled with hatred.

Ye Tianfan shook his head, looked at Long Yuqing before him, almost wanting to understand what kind of woman she truly was.

Just as Ye Tianfan had this thought, Long Yuqing turned around, smiled brightly at Ye Tianfan, and said, "Alright, let's stop talking about me. Tell me about yourself, since you don't want to get involved in business battles, what are your plans for the future?"

"Plans?"

Ye Tianfan raised his eyebrows, his lips curving into a mischievous smile, and said, "I'm planning to start a small business of my own, open a little shop."

Upon hearing Ye Tianfan talk about starting his own small business, Long Yuqing laughed so much that she trembled like a blossom. Many companies are eager to recruit Ye Tianfan, and without any politeness, Ye Tianfan could easily rise to the presidency of any company. Yet he wants to do his own small business?

"You're going into small business? You're indeed quite unconventional, taking the road less traveled?"

A mischievous smile flashed across Ye Tianfan's face. He raised his hand to hold Long Yuqing, saying, "What? Can't I start a small business?"

Long Yuqing leaned into Ye Tianfan's arms, wrapping her jade arms around his neck, her face full of smiles, she said, "You can, of course you can. If you open a store, I'll be the first to support it."

"Then you better watch out. I might open a shady shop! And you're so rich, I'll definitely rip you off big time then."

Long Yuqing suddenly burst into laughter, her eyes enchanting as she looked at Ye Tianfan, saying, "Okay, rip me off as you like."

"You're the one who said it! Don't regret it later!" As he spoke, Ye Tianfan smiled knowingly. Since fate was jealous and destined him not to be tied to the nobility, he would start his own business. He wouldn't marry into the nobility; he'd become the nobility himself!
