Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

Hearing Qi Yuan's words, Xie Li did not show any panic.

Although the Davis family forbade outsiders to discuss Qi Yuan's affairs after he entered the family, it had already been discussed hundreds of times before that.

It’s hard not to know.

“Prisons hold many evil people, but they also hold innocent people. Mr. Qi Yuan, weren’t you wrongly imprisoned? The gentleman you took the blame for went to prison and was punished not long after you entered the Davis family.”

"So what if he was punished? Does that make up for the five years of suffering I endured there?" Qi Yuan's gaze was cold and angry. "It can't make up for it. Those five years were like hell. Even if I get out of prison or even if Kalis goes to prison, it won't ease the hatred in my heart."

“Mr. Qi Yuan, the past is the past. If you continue to hold onto hatred in your heart, you will only make things harder for yourself.”

Shirley, being a priest of the church, was particularly good at comforting people in such matters.

Qi Yuan was unmoved by his words of comfort and asked, "Priest Sheri, have you ever considered that if the Northern Continent were a region with a just and peaceful legal system, I wouldn't have had to endure five years in prison? Why are good people driven to evil? The reason there are more good people than bad people in prison is simply because the Northern Continent has become rotten to the core."

Xie Li paused, looking at Qi Yuan with disbelief in his eyes, as if it were unbelievable that Qi Yuan would say such a thing.

"Priestess Sheri, as a messenger of God, have you never thought of using your power to change the current state of the Northern Continent?" Qi Yuan asked.

Sheryl lowered her eyes and did not answer.

From a priest's perspective, saying something like changing the status quo of the Northern Continent is somewhat unrealistic. But to say he doesn't believe in God would contradict his priestly status.

Sherley didn't know how to answer, nor did he want to.

Qi Yuan knew that his question was a bit too extreme. He turned his head to look at the homeless man and Nick across the street and said, "I am not kind. I just know how unjust it is to be wronged. I have also received help from others in prison, so I will help those who seem to need help."

“I’m not being kind, I just felt I should do it.”

Qi Yuan's voice was very soft, as soft as an echo from a remote valley.

Sherley still didn't answer. He looked just like he usually did when he sat in the confessional in a church, listening to people confess their disrespect for God, and finally saying: "Believers, there's no need to be too sad or blame yourself. As long as you sincerely repent, the Lord will forgive you."

He planned to use the same tactic on Qi Yuan, waiting until Qi Yuan finished expressing his hatred before comforting him: "It's alright, it's all in the past."

Just then, Qi Yuan said something that surprised him greatly: "The wireless communication project that the Davis family and the Leopold family collaborated on a few days ago has been successful. The iron-frame-like towers that are now under construction in the city are called signal towers and base stations. Once they are completed, people will be able to talk as if they were face to face, even if they are thousands of meters apart."

Xie Li looked at Qi Yuan in shock, seemingly unwilling to believe it was true.

Even Asha was shocked; what Qi Yuan revealed was a huge secret!

But Qi Yuan didn't think it was a secret. Signal towers and base stations were everywhere, and eventually everyone would know what they were.

Telling Shelly now is like pledging allegiance to the Darkfire, telling them that I know a lot about the Davis family.

Seeing that Xie Li was quite frightened by him, Qi Yuan continued, "This project was able to succeed so quickly thanks to my efforts. Without my help, it might not have succeeded next year."

"I'm actually very happy that this project is successful. The Davis family owns 70% of the arms industry in the North Continent. Every piece of iron that goes into the Davis family's factory will eventually be turned into guns and bullets, which are harmful things. Now it has been turned into wireless communication. Once wireless communication is invented, people who are thousands of miles apart will be able to hear the voices of their relatives and friends whenever they want. This will become a small but happy thing in their lives."

"Of course, ordinary people use wireless communication to talk to their families, while the four major families use it to strengthen their own interests. But this is also a good thing for people. The four major families have influence throughout the entire North Continent. If they want to receive messages from other regions quickly, they need to keep building base stations and signal towers, building them in places where their people are."

Qi Yuan looked intently at Xie Li and asked, "Priest Xie Li, think about how wonderful this is. Most of the raw materials for making guns are being used to build base stations and signal towers. That means the four major families will have less material to make weapons. Without weapons, won't their prestige decline? Besides, those base stations and signal towers can't be built by the four major families themselves. They will hire a lot of people to work. If people have jobs, won't they have income?"

Qi Yuan's series of questions successfully brainwashed Xie Li.

Xie Li had no doubts and nodded in agreement with Qi Yuan's statement, "Mr. Qi Yuan, you are right, that's exactly it. If the four major families need to build a large number of signal towers and base stations, they will have less raw materials to manufacture weapons. Fewer weapons will mean less fighting, and many people will also have jobs. This is a good thing."

Qi Yuan sighed: "Yes, this should have been a good thing, but these past few days, hasn't there been an organization called Fire attacking the four major families?"

Upon hearing this, Shirley's expression subtly changed.

“I heard from Noah that because of the organized attack on them, they plan to slow down the construction of base stations and signal towers, and focus on producing more weapons first, so as to avoid not having weapons when needed. Sigh…” Qi Yuan sighed heavily, “If it weren’t for that fire attack, the plan would have been carried out as originally planned.”

Qi Yuan, believing himself to be a naive and innocent person who guards against everything, reveals some inside information about the Davis family to Xie Li.

Hearing this, Shirley lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.

Qi Yuan couldn't see his expression, so he stopped guessing. He had already achieved his goal, and he couldn't care less what Xie Li thought next.

Nick, who had gone to deliver the meat, returned to his seat and looked at Qi Yuan with a sly grin, saying, "Boss Qi, look down there. Under the streetlights across the street, the head of the family is over there. Did you two make an appointment?"

Qi Yuan looked at Nick suspiciously after hearing his words.

They met Noah's gaze.

Noah seemed to want to see why there was a private room on the second floor still lit up when all the restaurant staff were on holiday. He looked up and his eyes met those of Qi Yuan, who was sitting by the window.

At that moment, Qi Yuan gave him a wink, and Noah noticed the person sitting opposite him. He said to Xiu, whom he had met not long ago, "Xiu, shall we put on a show?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Xiu was completely confused.

Qi Yuan and Xie Li both turned to look at them. At that moment, they saw Xiu suddenly grab the hem of Noah's coat, and the atmosphere between the two seemed somewhat ambiguous.

Qi Yuan's lips curled into a cold smile as he said contemptuously, "The patriarch is truly a sentimental person. He said he would be good to me for the rest of his life, but... ha!"
