"What's wrong, Vice President Li?" Wu Jiangong hesitated for a moment before picking up his phone.

"Mr. Wu, this is terrible! Qiming Group has canceled all cooperation with us and even declared that anyone who dares to cooperate with Wu's Group is going against Qiming Group." A panicked voice came from the phone: "Now more than ten companies in our upstream and downstream supply chains have canceled their cooperation with us."

"Moreover...moreover, the tax authorities suddenly moved in, demanding that we hand over our USB tokens and auditing our revenue from the previous quarter...My company is facing a broken cash flow, and the amount of tax evasion involved is enormous..."

"What?" Wu Jiangong stood up abruptly, his face turning ashen.

"The police should be on their way to you, Mr. Wu. It's best to lay low for a while and forget about the company," Vice President Li said in a low voice before hanging up.

*Thud*... Wu Jiangong's phone fell to the ground, and he was speechless for a long time.

"Big brother..." Wu Meiru was also taken aback. Judging from her brother's expression, Ye Xingchen was probably telling the truth.

“You, you…” Wu Jiangong pointed at Ye Xingchen, feeling his blood pressure rising.

"I told you, isn't it better to live a good life? Why did you have to provoke me?" Ye Xingchen sneered. "The Wu Group ceases to exist from today onwards, and you can go to jail in peace."

Suddenly, the door opened and several police officers walked in.

"Wu Jiangong, your company is suspected of tax evasion. Come with us to verify this."

A stern voice rang out, followed by a snap as a pair of handcuffs were placed on his wrists, and two policemen escorted him away.

"Big brother." Wu Meiru was startled and quickly took out her phone to make a call, but the other party rejected the call several times in a row.

"Don't waste your energy. When you're successful, everyone is your friend." Ye Xingchen looked at her with pity. "When you're down on your luck, everyone will avoid you. That's reality. Don't you understand?"

"Ye Xingchen, what exactly do you want?" Wu Meiru's hands trembled.

"Don't worry, I'm definitely not targeting you." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, his voice gradually turning cold: "Old man Ye is already dead, otherwise, how could Ye Chengen be jumping around so happily?"

"You're talking nonsense, the old man is perfectly fine." Wu Meiru was taken aback.

"Since I dare to say this, it means I have all the evidence." Ye Xingchen stared at her: "Ye Chengen is not Ye Taihe's biological son, but he also played a part in my father's death. He has told you these things, hasn't he?"

“You…” Wu Meiru suddenly stood up, then her legs went weak and she slumped back into the chair.

She knew Ye Xingchen's methods well. Since Ye Xingchen said such a thing, it meant that he had already figured out everything, and there was no use in her trying to argue anymore.

Meanwhile, her husband was holding his first meeting at the Ye family since assuming the position of family head. Was it all just beginning, and was it already about to end?

In the Ye family, Ye Chengen sat at the round wooden table in the family council, looking at the elders and younger generation with a sense of pride, enjoying the feeling of being high above them.

"That concludes my decision. Does anyone have any objections? If so, please raise them today." Ye Chengen closed the documents in his hand and glanced at the room.

“Cheng’en, ​​we do have some grudges with the Xia family’s ancestors, but that was decades ago.” An elder raised an objection: “Of the sixteen resolutions you just proposed at the meeting, ten were aimed at the Xia family. What are you trying to do?”

The old man was Ye Yizhou, Ye Taihe's cousin. According to seniority, Ye Chengen should call him Second Uncle.

"Second Uncle, our feud with the Xia family is an ancestral one, we can't let it go unpunished." Ye Chengen snorted, "Otherwise they'll ride roughshod over us in the future, so this is settled."

“Going against the Xia family like this will only result in mutual destruction.” Ye Yizhou shook his head: “I will not allow this resolution to pass. I need to see your father and ask him directly.”

"I am now the head of the family. My father has entrusted the entire Ye family to me. He is recuperating and will not see anyone," Ye Chengen said angrily.

"Really? Where is the power of attorney? Everything you've said is from you alone." Ye Yizhou stared at him: "Only you know the truth. I don't believe your father would let you act so recklessly."

"What kind of power of attorney do you need? Besides me, who else in the Ye family is qualified to inherit?" Ye Chengen sneered, "Could it be you and your children and grandchildren? Ye Yizhou, your plan is far too ambitious."

"Nonsense!" Ye Yizhou roared, slamming his hand on the table. "Ye Chengen, this is the family council. Everything must be decided by vote. You can't make the decisions all by yourself."

"Then let's change this rule today. From now on, I'll be in charge of everything in the Ye family," Ye Chengen shouted. "I am the head of the Ye family. Who dares to disobey me?"

"You're the head of the Ye family? Who appointed you?" Just then, a cold laugh rang out, and Ye Xingchen arrived.

"Ye Xingchen, you bastard, what are you doing here? Jiang Ran, what are you good for? Who let him in?" Ye Chengen was furious and stood up abruptly.

The meeting room erupted in commotion, with everyone discussing the matter. Among those present were Ye Xingchen's elders and cousins.

Everyone was shocked by Ye Xingchen's arrival.

After all, Ye Xingchen's identity was no longer a secret, and everyone thought that Ye Xingchen would definitely return to the Ye family, but no one expected that Ye Xingchen would appear in the council in this way.

"Don't waste your energy." Ye Xingchen stared at Ye Chengen: "I'm here today to tell everyone some news."

"Ye Taihe, who is my blood grandfather, passed away last night, and the culprit who caused his death was none other than Ye Chengen."

"Furthermore, Ye Chengen is not a member of the Ye family, but rather Ye Taihe's adopted son more than forty years ago."

Ye Xingchen's two sentences were like a bombshell, causing an uproar at the scene. Everyone stared at Ye Xingchen in shock and discussed the news.

"Nonsense, nonsense! Men, throw him out!" Ye Chengen was almost going crazy.

But he was mostly filled with fear. Ye Xingchen recounted everything in detail, proving that his conversation with Ye Taihe last night had been leaked.

How is that possible? He was the only one present that day, so how did these things get leaked?

"Child, you, are you telling the truth? My brother has passed away?" Ye Yizhou was extremely shocked.

"According to seniority, I should call you Second Master." Ye Xingchen nodded slightly, still showing respect to Ye Yizhou.
