On the Cao family's side, Cao Bailu was discussing with her father, Cao Ningzu. Cao Bailu had high hopes for Ye Chen and felt that Ye Chen's future was limitless. Therefore, she persuaded her father to stand up now and publicly support Ye Chen, which would be a timely help.

It's much better to step forward now than to form an alliance with Ye Chen after his faction takes over the Ye family.

"If it were before, I would definitely have been willing to ally with that Ye Chen, but now..."

Cao Ningzu hesitated.

If Ye Chen hadn't clashed with Ye Huaicang's faction, given his current status as the youngest leader of a major power in the capital, forming an alliance with them would have been sufficient.

But right now, the conflict between Ye Chen and Ye Huaicang is too serious, almost to the point of being "fight to the death," and a victor must be decided today.

Ye Huaicang has two powerful forces supporting him, and the Cao family has always been very cautious. Cao Ningzu is not willing to publicly stand up and support Ye Chen.

Seeing her father hesitate, Cao Bailu tried to persuade him:

“Father, think about it. If you don’t support Ye Chen and he loses and doesn’t get the position of head of the Ye family, then the next head of the Ye family will be Ye Changhao. Ye Changhao and Jiang Yongkui are in-laws. If the Ye family and the Jiang family form an alliance, wouldn’t that be even more disadvantageous for us?”

Now, the Cao family's position as the third most powerful family in the capital is being coveted by the Jiang family. If the Jiang family and the Ye family form an alliance, the pressure on the Cao family will be even greater!

"But if you support Ye Chen now, and Ye Chen's lineage becomes the head of the Ye family in the future, you will be helping him in his time of need. Ye Chen will definitely thank you, and the Ye family will become a loyal ally of our Cao family."

"Father, I don't need to tell you which of these two choices is better, do I?"

After hearing his daughter say this, Cao Ningzu thought about it and realized that it made sense. He was somewhat persuaded by his daughter.

"By the way, Father, Ye Chen has a very good relationship with the Qin family's patriarch, Elder Qin. Elder Qin values ​​Ye Chen highly."

Seeing that her father's mind was wavering, Cao Bailu added a crucial piece of information—Ye Chen was highly valued by Elder Qin.

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this news, Cao Ningzu became restless.

"Who told you that?"

Cao Ningzu asked in a low voice, "This information is crucial; it could even determine the outcome of the battle!"

"I heard it from someone, it must have been Old Qin."

Cao Bailu explained to her father.

"Father, don't forget, when I went to Jiangzhou before, I met Elder Qin. It was through Elder Qin that I got to know Ye Chen..."

"I see..."

Cao Ningzu suddenly realized that if it was Qin Lao who said it himself, then it couldn't be a rumor.

Now that Ye Chen has won Qin Lao's attention, the Qin family is very likely to express their opinion, and Cao Ningzu began to hesitate.

From the very beginning until now, the Qin family representative has remained silent. Could it be that they also support Ye Chen, given that Ye Chen is related to the previous head of the Qin family?

Finally, Cao Ningzu gritted his teeth and stepped forward: "Our Cao family is willing to uphold the orthodoxy and support Mr. Ye Huaimin in succeeding as the head of the Ye family."

Cao Ningzu chose to stand on Ye Chen's side.

The fact that the third largest wealthy family in Beijing has sided with Ye Chen is a very important piece of information.

Now, with the support of the Cao family, Ye Chen and Ye Huaicang are evenly matched, since the Cao family and the Yunxiao Chamber of Commerce are roughly equal in strength.

"Things have become complicated."

"The two sides are now evenly matched, five against five."

"Impressive. It hasn't appeared for decades, and now that it has, it has so many powerful forces supporting it."

"More and more major powers are getting involved, and the situation is becoming increasingly tense..."

Everyone held their breath, speculating whether Ye Huaicang or Ye Chen would emerge victorious.

"Heh, you're all destined to be losers. The victor will still be me..."

At the scene, only Ye Huairong was full of confidence. You should know that in addition to the alliance with Tianya Chamber of Commerce, he had a very powerful backup plan.

Even now, Ye Huairong firmly believes that after Ye Chen and Ye Huaicang are both severely injured, he has the absolute strength to win.

"Ah.................this...................."

Standing there, Ye Huaicang and Ye Changhao felt extremely awkward.

Originally supported by two major forces, Ye Huaicang and Ye Changhao were extremely arrogant, believing that they could crush Ye Chen with their strength. Even if Ye Chen had a real will and was a legitimate faction, it wouldn't matter.

But now, Ye Chen also has the support of two major forces, and these two forces are on par with their side.

Now, the scales of victory have slowly shifted from their side to a single line.

"Third brother, since we're evenly matched, how about we stop fighting for now and talk things over privately?"

Ye Huaicang asked Ye Chen, "Now that I no longer have an absolute advantage, I want to stall for time. You know, I have been in the capital for decades and have a good network of connections, while my third brother Ye Huaimin and the others are coming to the capital for the first time in decades."

Given time, he might be able to persuade other forces to support him. More importantly, the Ye family is still under his control, and he can do a lot if he has the time.

Therefore, Ye Huaicang wanted to temporarily stop fighting with Ye Chen's side to buy time.

Seeing this, Ye Huairong tensed up. If the two stopped fighting, it would be extremely disadvantageous for him!
