If Ye Wudao hadn't grown up in that kind of environment, he could definitely have become a model socialist youth—instead of the pervert who won't even spare his own sister and cousin, plus the scumbag who studies Chinese just to write threatening letters, math just to count cash, and science just to build bombs, plus the villain who loves playing dirty tricks, using underhanded methods, and stopping at nothing to get what he wants！
But strangely enough, no one from either family says he's wrong—those unqualified to speak don't dare to, because he's the sole future heir; those qualified to speak, most of them aren't willing to, and the vast majority of those are his beautiful female elders, while the rest are practically the ones who started it all—they are the ones who gave Ye Wudao everything he has today, the bad side, the dark side.
Ye Wudao's father, Ye Hetu, instilled in him from a young age the idea that women are born to be conquered by men, and spared no effort teaching Ye Wudao about women's various personality traits, weaknesses, and ways to create romance—anyway, his family has plenty of money, so there's no need to worry about the cost of romance.
Ye Wudao's uncle, Ye Zhenkun, taught him all kinds of self-defense skills; he even taught Ye Wudao the Israeli military special forces' killing techniques. Now Ye Wudao has strength close to a black belt in Taekwondo, and what shocked Ye Zhenkun is that his nephew also has extremely high attainments in Judo, Karate, and Kendo—he's practically a little monster！
In Ye Wudao's own words: being a bad guy takes capital too！ For example, if you try to rob someone but end up getting robbed instead, what kind of nonsense is that? If you try to rape a girl but she easily takes you down with a few self-defense moves, you'd get attempted rape—wouldn't that be losing all face for men? Rape isn't a crime; attempted rape is your screw-up！ If doing bad things were too easy, then everyone would be bad guys, right? So being a genuine bad guy isn't easy either—the difficulty of being a first-class villain is no simpler than being a living Lei Feng. Power, power is everything！
During the years he kept the young Ye Wudao under his wing, Ye Zhengling used the rise and fall of various dynasties and regimes throughout history to educate Ye Wudao, teaching him to become a despicable villain, to learn to make schemes his tools. Are schemes shameful？ Oh, no, no, no, they are essential. The winner takes all, and no one would ever point out a king's flaws！
Why is Hitler condemned by everyone？ Of course it's undeniable that the most important reason is the unforgivable heinous crimes he committed, but an obvious reason is that he lost！ Emperor Wu of Han made no small number of mistakes in his later years, but because he symbolizes the prosperity of the Han Dynasty and the glory of the Chinese nation, future generations can "magnanimously" ignore his errors or simply pay them no heed.
It was also he who told Ye Wudao to treat everyone as a tool for his own use, even including this grandfather of his！ Because Ye Wudao would have to face an unimaginable number of problems in the future, problems that are unavoidable for the heir of a colossal family.
As the saying goes, one general's glory is built on ten thousand bones; bloodshed and sacrifice are inevitable. Since you can't shed your own blood or kick the bucket yourself, the pain and death of others are only natural！
Womanly compassion is something a successful person must discard！
A child is like a blank sheet of paper; the key lies in how adults paint on it. Whether this work of art succeeds depends largely on the success of one's early education. No one can say for sure whether Ye Wudao is now on the path to success.
Ye Wudao had more than one idol. One was Jorginho Guinle, known as 'the last true playboy,' who eventually died in the luxurious Copacabana Palace Hotel. Standing only 1.65 meters tall, he was born into Brazil's wealthiest family and was called 'Little George.' Guinle's father Eduardo emigrated from France to Brazil, started from scratch, and amassed a fortune equivalent to about 2 billion US dollars in today's currency, owning Brazil's largest port. Guinle's born mission was to spend as much money as possible, and in the end, he overfulfilled that mission. Guinle said in 2002： 'The secret to a happy life is to die without a penny left on you, but I miscalculated and ran out of money too early.' He often threw lavish champagne parties, making Rio de Janeiro a gathering place for international celebrities in the 1950s and 1960s.
'I miscalculated and ran out of 2 billion dollars too early！' Ye Wudao rated this sentence as the most classic of the 20th century. Chinese people often quote 'a man who's not romantic in youth wastes his youth,' but that realm is clearly a notch lower. He wasn't just romantic in youth—it was a lifetime of romance. So it's not hard to be romantic for a while; the hard part is being romantic for a lifetime！
Ye Wudao had another idol: Hugh Hefner, the founder of Playboy. Even entering his golden years, he never changed his romantic ways. He once celebrated his 75th birthday party in Cannes, France, with 'seven stars surrounding the moon,' blowing out candles alongside seven sexy and beautiful Playboy 'Playmates.' After divorcing his second wife, Hefner returned to his flower-hopping lifestyle, attending birthday parties with beauties in both arms, yet couldn't even remember the names of his seven female companions. Now that's what you call true attainment！
He couldn't remember how many girlfriends he had in his life, probably around two thousand. And Ye Wudao would take this as his lifelong goal. Assuming he could live to eighty, minus the first ten years, that means Ye Wudao has seventy years to break this record. What kind of concept is this? To be specific, he should have about thirty new girlfriends per year！ What a challenging thing！
Ye Wudao greatly admired Hefner's words: 'I'm not promiscuous, I don't sleep with many women. Actually, I am a faithful man, just to a group of women.' How could someone who can say things like that be an ordinary person？
'Women nowadays are too strong, so God sent me to this world to reestablish the male authority of the patriarchal clan commune era!' This was Ye Wudao's bold declaration at age nine. Truly ambitious for a young one! Too bad that when he shouted these words, his aunt Yang Suning greeted him with a few knuckles to the head!
Being a playboy was his main business, being a villain was his side job. But even this side job was played with great flair and success by Ye Wudao, this 'idle' good-for-nothing. Street robbery was far too childish. If the victim was a beautiful woman, Ye Wudao would also take the chance to molest her. High-IQ activities like blackmail and swindling were things he never tired of, and countless people had been fooled by him. He had just started middle school not long ago, but he was already planning to establish his own gang at school. This was the thing Ye Wudao was most interested in right now. He was determined to turn the entire school into his own backyard, and rapidly yet orderly expand his power.
Have you seen the pinnacle of gangster films, 'The Godfather'？ That feeling of holding the power of life and death over millions, building your empire amidst bloodshed—isn't that every man's ultimate dream？ Ye Wudao's last idol was the encyclopedia of the mafia—Don Vito！ This bloodthirsty mafia chieftain's prestige had reached its peak. Even high-ranking local officials would kowtow to him; the best restaurants considered it an honor to host him for free. If he patrolled his territory, the highest-ranking administrator of each place would wait for him far beyond the city gates.
Power and money—which one is more attractive in a woman's eyes? Ye Zhengling, who weathered many storms in his life, once gave Ye Wudao a clear answer: power！ This answer was later further confirmed by Yang Suning. From that moment on, Ye Wudao was determined to become a top underworld leader, to twist laws and justice around his fingers！
He wanted to be more than just someone with piles of cash, because that was something others gave him—an ultimate playboy had to be more perfect！
Because Yang Suning once said, 'Power is a man's finest garment. Once he puts it on, he shines brilliantly, exuding irresistible charm. A man with talent and wealth but no power is like an unpolished gem, lacking that one luster.'
He, Ye Wudao, would become the most dashing rogue under heaven！
