After swapping bodies, I became a domineering CEO in a melodramatic novel.

She wanted to question him loudly, but found her voice so insignificant under Mo Qingcheng's sinister aura. A nameless fire ignited within her, and her body involuntarily leaned forward slightly, as if trying to fight against it.

"You all seem to have forgotten that I'm not so easily defeated." Mo Qingcheng smiled and slowly approached. The man who had just been restrained by the bodyguards now seemed so small, pale in comparison to their conversation.

"What do you want to do?" Qin Reng's voice was deep, his hands clenched into fists, as if a conflict was about to erupt at any moment, to secure a safe path for Yu Yuetong. He knew in his heart that now was the time when he couldn't afford to make a mistake. But seeing the resolute light shining in Yu Yuetong's eyes, a surge of courage welled up in his heart.

“It’s very simple.” Mo Qingcheng’s voice became serious, carrying an unfathomable meaning. “I will let you leave, but you must accept my conditions.”

"What are the conditions?" Yu Yuetong forced herself to calm down and tried to analyze Mo Qingcheng's intentions.

"You must trust me as much as I trust you." His smile carried a heavy meaning, as if hinting at some kind of scheme.

"No way." Yu Yuetong replied without hesitation, secretly vowing in her heart, "No matter what you mean, I won't fall for it!"

"Is that so?" Mo Qingcheng didn't care about her resolute attitude at all. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he were a cunning fox, showing no sense of being threatened. "Then I'll have to use other methods to get you to accept my proposal."

"What do you want?" Qin Reng's voice was even lower at this moment, and a dangerous aura permeated the air.

"This is none of my business, and don't worry, you won't be easily bound by me." Mo Qingcheng narrowed his eyes, his expression cunning, as if uncertainty swirled between friend and foe.

Just as the atmosphere between the two sides was becoming increasingly tense, Li Jing grabbed Yu Yuetong's hand tightly, "Sister Yu, this kind of negotiation is too dangerous. We must find a way to fight back!"

"A counterattack?" A thoughtful yet determined glint appeared in Yu Yuetong's eyes. "We can't let him succeed. Perhaps... maybe there are other ways."

Qin Reng suddenly turned his head and saw her whispering softly. He couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about? Tell me quickly!"

"We can use external forces to lure him into our trap." Yu Yuetong began to formulate her plan. The tension she had felt earlier seemed to gradually turn into passion, and her thoughts shone brightly as she let her mind wander.

"I'll give it a try," Qin Reng responded quickly, his eyes flashing with unwavering determination. After all, he had told Yu Yuetong that no matter what happened, they would face it together.

“Then you have to be careful about the other party’s reaction…” Yu Yuetong replied in a low voice, but was interrupted by Mo Qingcheng’s ill-intentioned gaze.

“Of course, I won’t let you have it too easy.” He slowly approached, a disturbing smile playing on his lips. “Believe me, the game has only just begun, and you will all eventually become pawns in my hands.”

The air was thick with tension, and with each word Mo Qingcheng spoke, it seemed an impending showdown was brewing. A sense of unease rose in Yu Yuetong's heart, but it wasn't enough to make her give up hope for the future.

"You won't succeed so easily!" Yu Yuetong responded decisively, desperately encouraging herself, her face showing an indomitable expression.

"What nonsense are you spouting? I will never be your pawn!" Yu Yuetong retorted without hesitation, radiating an indomitable spirit. Facing Mo Qingcheng's cunning face, the flames of anger in her heart burned even brighter. At this moment, her relationship with Qin Reng seemed to be a double-edged sword, potentially forcing them into a dangerous situation, or exposing their opponent's secrets.

Qin Reng clenched his fists. He knew the anger simmering within him, while Yu Yuetong's determination and courage were like deep-sea waves, constantly assaulting his senses. Every time he saw her like this, a strong urge to protect her would rise within him.

"I'm not joking, Mo Qingcheng, what do you want to do?" Qin Reng gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with fury, extremely wary. Even though their bodies had changed, the connection between them remained the same. Now, facing the impending struggle, he could no longer choose silence.

“I want you to understand how precious trust is,” Mo Qingcheng’s voice was like a sharp blade, casual yet full of threat. “I will make you struggle in desperate situations until you realize that you have no choice at all.”

"Don't hesitate, just state your conditions." Yu Yuetong straightened her chest, transforming her recklessness and courage into a completely new image, striving to gain the upper hand in this game.

“It’s simple, I need your absolute loyalty to me.” Mo Qingcheng narrowed his eyes, a thoughtful and eerie smile creeping onto his lips. “As long as you’re willing to cooperate, I can even make the rules of this game no longer confined to your imagination. Think about it, as long as you obey me, you can escape the trap I’ve set.”

"This is such a low-level trick." Yu Yuetong curled her lip in disdain, thinking to herself, "Do they think I'd be stupid enough to fall for it?"

"Mutual trust is the best approach. Tomorrow's council is waiting for you, and I am your indispensable partner." Mo Qingcheng's tone exuded an inexplicable confidence, as if he had everything under his control.

"Why should I believe you?" Qin Reng's deep voice carried a stern intimidation, his eyes flashing with unwavering determination.

“Because you have no other choice.” Mo Qingcheng gave the answer casually, as if there was no possibility of further argument. The entire room seemed to be suffocated by his words, closed off yet extremely dangerous.

The atmosphere became tense. Yu Yuetong silently considered her options. Rather than being led by the nose by him, she decided to test his ability to fight back in this adversity. Sure enough, her mind worked quickly, and a brilliant idea flashed into her head: "I have a suggestion."

"Oh?" Mo Qingcheng showed interest, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

“You want us to be absolutely loyal to you, right?” Yu Yuetong’s voice became firm. “I want to make a deal with you. We will help you with your plans, but you must also promise us that as long as we don’t break the rules, we will never let you get hurt.”

Qin Reng nodded to himself, secretly agreeing with Yu Yuetong's idea. Mo Qingcheng, cunningly hidden in the shadows, turned pale for a moment.

“That’s a clever suggestion. But, young lady,” he narrowed his eyes, a mixture of anticipation and excitement in his gaze, “you may be underestimating my bottom line. If betrayal were to occur, the consequences would be far beyond what you can bear.”

"Why do I feel like that applies to you instead?" Yu Yuetong retorted, her eyes gleaming with confidence and courage, her inner flame burning like a scorching sun, pressing directly at Mo Qingcheng.
