Chapter 85 Returning the Property to Its Rightful Owner

In the chairman's office on the 30th floor of the Yulong Building, Ye Qizu had summoned everyone he needed to before Ye Baoling arrived.

Hearing his granddaughter's overly frank tone, Ye Qizu was very angry.

"Did you plan this all along, to use your own factory to take over Ye Qingtang herbal tea business?"

Ye Baoling countered, "Why not?"

"Who gave you permission to do this? You've only been the group's vice president for a few days, and you're already thinking about lining your own pockets?" Ye Qizu slammed his fist on the table in anger. "If this gets out, how will we explain it to the major and minor shareholders?"

Ye Baoling: "As long as my prices are reasonable, my efficiency is high, and my quality is good, there's nothing I can't do. I'm willing to accept fair competition. Besides, it's common practice in the industry for company management to designate agents, is there really anything to make such a fuss about?"

Third Uncle Ye Qizong said sarcastically, "If someone reports you to the ICAC, you'll go to jail!"

"Really? It's that serious?" Ye Baoling looked at Ye Kaishen. "Uncle Shen, is it that serious?"

Ye Kaishen guessed that Ye Baoling was about to launch an attack on him. He did not expect that the old man would not directly question Ye Baoling about the Changguan Beverage Factory matter.

Instead, they discovered that Ye Baoling had bought land and opened a factory.

He somewhat regretted handing her the knife through Ye Baoshun. He even suspected that she had seen the leverage he had given her, which led her to follow their example and buy land and build a factory in the mainland.

But it was too late to regret it now. Ye Kaishen could only smile awkwardly and try to smooth things over: "Yes, it's not that serious, Uncle, Dad. If it's a factory that Baoling owns, it might be safer and more reassuring for us to use it ourselves."

Everyone was stunned, not expecting Ye Kaishen to say such a thing.

Ye Qizong scolded his son: "How can you protect your juniors like this? Second brother, don't listen to what Kaishen is saying. Baoling's matter is very serious. Fortunately, it was discovered early and there was no business dealings between them, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the shareholders."

Ye Baoling: "Then I want to ask, how do you plan to explain the Suman Jewelry OEM factory matter to the shareholders?"

As she spoke, she nodded to Ye Baoshun.

Ye Baoshun took out a stack of documents from the file bag in his hand, and cleared his throat before speaking.

It seems that this is the first time in his life that he has had a moment of glory in the public eye.

"I found this document in Uncle Shen's office."

Everyone looked at Ye Kaishen, who remained calm. The fact that he dared to leak the document to Ye Baoshun meant that the document had no effect on him.

He just didn't expect that Ye Baoling would use this document to clear her name.

Ye Baoshun: "This is an outsourcing contract. In recent years, Su Man Jewelry's cutting and polishing have been outsourced to Yongxing Jewelry. And the shareholders of Yongxing Jewelry are amazing. The major shareholder is Uncle Shen's brother-in-law, and the minor shareholder is my uncle. In other words, the behind-the-scenes bosses are Uncle Shen and my dad."

Upon hearing this, Ye Kaisi felt an urge to tear his son's mouth apart and give him another beating.

Ye Baoling added, "Most importantly, Su Man's outsourcing prices to Yongxing are far higher than the market price. I just said that my factory can provide more affordable and efficient services in the future. You said that this is illegal and that the ICAC will investigate me. So, I ask you, will the ICAC investigate Uncle Shen and Second Uncle?"

Ye Qizu, Ye Qizong, and Ye Kaisi all remained silent with cold expressions.

“Uncle Shen, look, my grandfather and second uncle are almost furious, but I find you to be very calm.”

Ye Kaishen explained with a smile, "Baoling, I think the same way as you. It's all business of the eldest branch of our Ye family. There's no need for us to investigate so thoroughly since we're all family."

Ye Baoling shook her head: "You deliberately let Baoshun get this document and then gave it to me. You've always hoped that I would use this document to cause you trouble."

Upon hearing this, Ye Kaishen's expression changed slightly, and he immediately said, "Ye Baoling, don't go around accusing people, okay? How could I deliberately give Baoshun such a document? But you, using your own cousin to steal confidential documents, your intentions are despicable!"

Ye Baoling looked at her cousin: "Baoshun, did I ask you to steal documents from Uncle Shen's office?"

Ye Baoshun quickly shook his head: "I couldn't stand it, so I volunteered to steal it."

This son is infuriating!

Ye Kaisi couldn't hold back any longer and went to hit Ye Baoshun, but Ye Baoshun nimbly hid behind his grandfather.

Ye Qizu snapped impatiently, "Enough! Do you think this is a vegetable market?!"

Ye Baoling: "Second Uncle, if you want to teach your son, go back and teach him. I haven't finished speaking yet. Why is Uncle Shen so calm? Why did he deliberately give me leverage? Because he wants me to run over this powder keg. On the surface, the major shareholder of Yongxing Jewelry is Uncle Shen and Second Uncle's brother-in-law, but the actual major shareholder is you, Grandpa!"

As she spoke, Ye Baoling looked at Ye Qizu and said, "Otherwise, who would dare to be so bold as to transfer profits at a price so much higher than the market price? Don't ask me for evidence. If you want evidence, let the ICAC investigate."

Ye Qizu, who had just looked pale, now had a face as black as an iron barrel, and his eyes were frighteningly cold.

Ye Baoling didn't care. "Several years ago, before Suman Jewelry went public, the craftsmanship was all done in their own workshops. Since going public, the profits of the eldest son's family have been diluted. In order to obtain higher returns, you have been transferring money from one hand to the other, opening your own outsourcing companies, and taking on your own orders at high prices. No wonder Suman Jewelry's profits are so low."

Everyone remained silent with cold expressions.

Ye Baoling glared at everyone: "What you're doing is illegal profit transfer that should be investigated by the ICAC. Is my factory, which isn't even finished yet, worth all this fuss about and interrogation? Or are you saying you can eat meat while I can't eat a normal meal?"

Ye Qizu, feeling humiliated, pursed his lips and remained silent.

Everyone was speechless when asked the question.

Ye Baoling continued, "Or is this just an excuse for you to cause me trouble?"

Ye Qizong tried to explain, "Baoling, don't overthink it. This was a collective decision. We didn't know about this, but as elders, can't we even ask?"

Ye Baoling: "You can ask, but the way you're acting is like you're accusing someone, not just asking a question or asking for the right to know."

Ye Baoshun added, "It was Uncle Shen who deliberately leaked this information; Uncle Shen has a serious problem."

Ye Kai complained bitterly, trying to shift the focus: "Second Uncle. Bao Shun wants freedom, wants to be able to go out and fool around whenever he wants. He doesn't want me to control him, and he's always trying to cause trouble."

"Who's causing trouble?" Ye Baoshun retorted, displeased. "Wasn't it you who's causing trouble?"

Ye Qizu waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about this now. We can discuss whose responsibility it is later."

He looked at Ye Baoling, "You know that a landfill is going to be built in the valley next to Jiaqi Beverage Factory, right?"

"I don't know." Ye Baoling shook her head. "Jiaqi Beverage Factory was recommended by Cai Yongming. We should call Cai Yongming over."

Ye Kaishen: "What does this have to do with Cai Yongming? He recommended it, but you made the final decision to buy it."

Ye Baoling also shifted the blame: "Grandpa made the decision to buy it, Grandpa, have you forgotten?"

Ye Qizu: "I am only responsible for signing in the end, but the premise is that you should investigate thoroughly before you report the acquisition of Jiaqi Factory to me."

Ye Qizong chimed in, "Yes. Bao Ling, as the person in charge, you should have investigated this thoroughly. We've spent a lot of money to buy Jiaqi Factory, and now they're building a landfill next to it. How can we possibly use it to produce herbal tea? If the media reports this, not only will our stock price plummet, but it will probably also affect our herbal tea sales. We won't be able to resell the factory anymore."

Ye Baoling quieted down, calmly glanced at everyone, and then asked, "So what do you plan to do with me?"

Ye Qizu, who thought his granddaughter had finally given in, breathed a sigh of relief.

His idea was simple: to emulate Empress Dowager Cixi's suppression of Prince Gong, so that Ye Baoling would first learn to submit to power and then be put to his use again.

Ye Qizu: "You are my granddaughter, of course I hope you can succeed. You should try to resolve the Jiaqi Factory matter first. Once you have resolved it, you can temporarily go back to be the vice president of Ye Qingtang Herbal Tea. After you have gained enough experience, you can become the vice president of the group."

"What if it can't be resolved?"

"If you can't solve it, then step down one more step and go back to be the marketing director."

No matter what, Ye Qizu still hopes that Ye Baoling can continue to help Ye Qingtang expand its market.

Ye Baoling nodded slightly and smiled, "That's good."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she had agreed.

Only Ye Baoshun was unconvinced: "Shouldn't Uncle Shen be dealt with?"

Ye Kais shouted, "Ye Baoshun, get out of here!"

"I'm not going out."

Ye Kais immediately went out and asked his secretary to call security, and luckily there were security guards nearby.

The security guards had just come in when Ye Baoling gave them a look.

"You all go out first."

The security guards knew that the young lady was in charge of the security department, so they immediately and tactfully withdrew.

Ye Kais was so angry that his eyes widened. He had no real power in the company. Compared to his powerful niece, he couldn't even command a security guard. But he was smart enough to save face and immediately said, "Ye Baoshun, when we get back tonight, I'll see if I don't teach you a lesson!"

Ye Qizu said, "Now we need to think of a way to resolve the Jiaqi Beverage Factory issue."

Ye Baoling looked at Ye Kaishen: "Ask Uncle Shen, he'll definitely know how to solve it."

Ye Kaishen smiled and waved his hand gently: "I don't have that kind of ability."

"Of course there are! Isn't the person in charge of selecting the landfill site your best brother?"

Ye Kaishen was stunned. How did she know?

He quickly distanced himself: "My best brother?"

Just then, Cai Yongming was summoned. Ye Baoling raised her head slightly and said, "Cai Yongming knows, right? President Cai."

Cai Yongming looked bewildered: "What's wrong?"

Ye Baoshun said, "Isn't the person in charge of selecting the landfill site Ye Kaishen's good friend?"

Cai Yongming pretended to be clueless and shook his head: "I don't know."

"you do not know?"

"I really don't know."

Ye Baoling looked at Cai Yongming and said, "After Ye Kaishen learned through his good brother, Councilor Qin, that the landfill was located near Jiaqi Beverage Factory, he asked you to recommend Jiaqi Factory to me at an opportune time, hoping to frame me, is that right?"

Cai Yongming immediately retorted, "Of course not."

Ye Kaishen immediately cursed, "Idiot! Ye Baoling, don't talk nonsense to shirk responsibility."

Ye Qizong, unaware of the situation, retorted on behalf of his son: "Cai Yongming is the general manager of Ye Qingtang Herbal Tea. He and Kaishen are at the same level in terms of position. What reason would he have to take orders from Kaishen?"

"Then you'll have to ask President Cai. Why is President Cai so obedient to my Uncle Shen? Is there some kind of leverage that my Uncle Shen has over him?" Ye Baoling said with a smile on her face.

Having witnessed the young lady's rampage in the Heavenly Palace before, Cai Yongming was filled with unease. Since Ye Baoling could say such a thing, she obviously knew some inside information. Now, all he could do was not to give in easily and not to offer up evidence.

So he forced a smile: "Miss, is there some misunderstanding?"

Ye Baoling: "I didn't misunderstand. Since you won't confess, then don't blame me for exposing your shameful deeds in public."

After saying that, Ye Baoling walked to her grandfather's desk and pressed the phone button for the secretariat: "Let them in."

Soon, Chen Yulin entered with HR Manager Li, Lin Zhizhi, and Gao Lizhen.

The security guard who brought them there didn't come in; he just stayed at the entrance.

Upon seeing them, Cai Yongming's face instantly turned ashen.

Ye Kais asked, puzzled, "What's going on?"

"This is Manager Li from the Human Resources Department. She used to be Cai Yongming's right-hand woman. To curry favor with Cai Yongming, Manager Li specifically recruited female employees who were either innocent or beautiful, but definitely from respectable families, to serve him." Ye Baoling then looked at Manager Li. "Right? Manager Li!"

Manager Li stammered, "Yes."

Cai Yongming immediately denied it: "That's slander!"

“This is not slander. I can testify.” Gao Lizhen said bravely, “Manager Li is my sister’s classmate. He knew that my family was in financial difficulty and needed money. After he took the initiative to hire me, he prevented me from becoming a permanent employee and forced me to serve General Manager Cai. I… I had no choice but to go, but… he took off his clothes and scared me to death. I took the opportunity to run away. Later, Manager Li wanted to fire me, but he was afraid that I would report them, so he demoted me from the secretariat all the way down. He was demoted to several departments.”

Lin Zhizhi also said, "I had the same experience. It's just that I didn't run away that day, and from then on I became... Mr. Cai's person. Later, Mr. Cai arranged for me to be the young lady's secretary, and asked me to keep an eye on the young lady's every move."

Cai Yongming, of course, denied it: "You've all conspired to slander me."

Ye Baoling took the documents from Chen Yulan and placed them on Ye Qizu's desk. "These are the evidence provided by Manager Li and Lin Zhizhi."

Ye Qizu picked up the documents and examined them closely, while Ye Kaisi and Ye Baoshun also came over to watch.

The old man's face grew increasingly grim. He never expected that there would be such a scoundrel among the company's senior management, and that such a disgraceful thing would happen!

He threw the documents on the table and said, "I'll call the police later and let them handle it."

Upon hearing this, Cai Yongming felt as if his three souls had been extinguished.

Ye Baoling asked Manager Li, Gao Lizhen, and the others to leave first before saying, "Ye Kaishen has this weakness of Cai Yongming, forcing Cai Yongming to join forces with him to deal with me."

Ye Kaishen: "Why would I want to deal with you!"

"Why?" Ye Baoling stood in the center of the office. "Firstly, because I removed you from your position as the group's vice president; secondly, you don't want me to get involved in Su Man's affairs. You're afraid I'll find out about your messy accounts at Su Man Jewelry, and you're afraid that with me around, you won't be able to embezzle or commit fraud anymore."

As if he had caught a loophole in Ye Baoling's words, Ye Kaishen immediately retorted: "Didn't we just have a result? The so-called embezzlement and fraud were decisions made collectively by the eldest son's family. I'm not afraid of you exposing me at all. Your reasoning is completely untenable."

Ye Baoling: "Yongxing Jewelry is involved in the transfer of collective interests. But your relationship with gold supplier Phyllis isn't about the transfer of collective interests, is it?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qizu's gaze suddenly turned to Ye Kaishen.

Ye Kaishen hurriedly explained, "Philis is a supplier that your grandfather personally negotiated with. Moreover, the price Phyllis gave us has always been lower than that of the London gold trading market."

"Philis's price is lower than that of the London Stock Exchange, but that doesn't change the fact that it secured the large Suman order contract by bribing you. Moreover, its bribes are continuous, given according to a percentage commission."

“Phyllis is an American-owned company. Europeans and Americans would never resort to bribery like the Chinese do,” Ye Kaishen said excitedly.

Ye Baoling laughed and said, "Those Ansar people who made their fortunes as pirates in the West have become so noble in your eyes? Why don't you go to the British Museum and wake up?! Americans openly bribe their way to the presidency. Don't they use bribery? Didn't you know that when you were counting your money?"

Ye Kaishen wanted to refute, but at that moment Ye Baoling took the second document from Chen Yulan.

"This is evidence of Phyllis bribing Ye Kaishen. It's not much, but it's enough. If you want more evidence, as I said before, you'll have to let the ICAC investigate."

Ye Baoshun quickly took the documents and handed them to his grandfather.

Ye Qizong tried to explain on behalf of his son: "Second brother, this evidence can be fabricated."

"Whether it's true or not, I can see for myself." Ye Qizu rolled his eyes at them.

Ye Baoling: "Whether it's true or false is not important now; we can have it verified by the ICAC later. What I want to say now is that Ye Kaishen, in collusion with Cai Yongming, disregarded the company's interests and committed numerous evil deeds!"

Disregarding company interests and committing numerous misdeeds—this charge is no small one.

The door was suddenly opened, and Ye Kaimin, having heard that the old man was interrogating Ye Baoling, rushed over from home to see what was going on.

Ye Baoling is his only hope now, and he must find a way to protect her.

"So many of you have attacked our house..."

"Dad, shut up and don't say anything," Ye Baoling interrupted him.

Ye Kaimin immediately fell silent.

Everyone's faces were increasingly grim; it seemed his daughter had the upper hand.

Ye Kaimin quickly smiled and nodded, "I won't say."

Ye Baoling continued, "The phrase I used is 'disregarding the company's interests.' Let's not talk about distant examples, but rather something more recent. As I just mentioned, Jiaqi Factory was recommended to me by Cai Yongming at Ye Kaishen's instigation. The purpose was to make me take the blame for poor investment decisions and ultimately force me to leave the company."

As she spoke, Ye Baoling unfolded a newspaper and pointed to the cover story, saying, "This Councilor Qin is Ye Kaishen's best friend. He has visited our Ye family before, and I believe Third Uncle must remember him."

Ye Qizong glanced at it but didn't say anything.

"It was this Councilor Qin who was in charge of selecting the landfill site. He revealed the location to Ye Kaishen last year. Ye Kaishen discovered that a beverage contract manufacturer near the site was up for sale, so he asked Cai Yongming to find an opportunity to tell me about the sale. Right, Cai Yongming?"

Cai Yongming is still reeling from the exposure of his scandalous deeds.

Ye Baoling attempted to manipulate the other party: "This matter is far less significant than your affair with your female subordinate. If you confess to the mastermind behind the Jiaqi Factory acquisition conspiracy, you won't even bear any responsibility. Our company will suffer no losses because of this. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't confess; we can still gather solid evidence. I just want to save time today..."

Ye Kais interrupted, "What do you mean by saying the company suffered no losses?"

"Because the company that negotiated the transfer agreement with Jiaqi Beverage Factory was always another company, we withdrew a long time ago."

Ye Qizu was stunned. How could this be?

Huang Ying had already told him that the deal was finalized, the investment department had signed the contract, and the first payment had been made.

Ye Kaishen questioned, "Hasn't it been bought? All that's left is to issue an announcement."

Ye Baoling explained, "We are negotiating an OEM contract with Jiaqi Factory. In the coming year, Jiaqi Beverage Factory and its branches in mainland China will undertake the OEM production for Ye Qingtang. Changguan is a branch of Jiaqi. My uncle is the deputy factory manager of Changguan, and he is just there to learn."

Everyone was shocked!

This is hardly normal operation.

They've deceived everyone, even the boss. What if it's something else that's detrimental to the company?

This is a serious act of usurpation, which in ancient times could be considered treason.

Although it was fortunate that Jiaqi Beverage Factory hadn't bought it, which saved the company a lot of money and was a great thing for them, it still couldn't quell the rising anger in Ye Qizu's heart.

However, given the current situation, it was not the time to direct his anger at Ye Baoling, so the old man forcefully swallowed his anger.

Seeing that the old man was angry but couldn't vent it, Ye Baoling smiled and turned to Cai Yongming, saying, "That's why I said the company suffered no losses. Even if President Cai admits it, the company doesn't need you to compensate us for anything, but if you don't admit it..."

Ye Kaishen interrupted: "Ye Baoling, you're inducing Cai Yongming to target me!"

"Uncle Shen, are you feeling guilty?" Ye Baoling smiled and turned her attention to Ye Kaishen. "You're not going to tell me that you and Cai Yongming don't usually have any contact, are you? Your frequent phone calls, going to nightclubs together, playing mahjong together—you're being watched everywhere. Mr. Cai, Qi Yuxiu slept in the same bed with Ye Kaishen, and what happened to her? You saw it. What kind of help can someone who's blackmailing you into doing bad things offer you? Think it through."

As she spoke, Ye Baoling walked over to Cai Yongming and whispered, "Originally, your affair might not have been exposed. Whoever ruined you like this, I certainly won't let them get away with it. If I'm going to hell, I'll drag someone down with me."

Recalling the time when Ye Kaishen threatened him, Cai Yongming clenched his fist instantly.

Ye Kaishen could clearly sense the change in Cai Yongming's eyes. "Ye Baoling, what are you muttering about? If you plot like this in front of us, then whatever Cai Yongming says afterward will be meaningless."

These words enraged Cai Yongming. "It was Ye Kaishen who used my weakness to blackmail me into dealing with Miss."

"You're talking nonsense!" Ye Kaishen retorted angrily. "You conspired in front of so many people to frame me."

Ye Baoling sneered, "Uncle Shen, you've used this trick of blackmailing others with their weaknesses before. The previous general manager of Ye Qingtang Herbal Tea, Shen Wanjie, was blackmailed by you and became your vassal. Now you're just repeating the same old trick."

Ye Kais asked Cai Yongming, "You say Ye Kaishen is threatening you, do you have any evidence?"

Cai Yongming: "Manager Li can testify for me; he knows about Ye Kaishen's blackmail of me. My wife can also testify; Ye Kaishen called home several times to instruct me to do things, and my wife heard it all clearly."

Ye Qizong once again defended his son: "Regarding whether Cai Yongming wronged Kaishen, even if it is true or not, has it caused any losses to the company? You just said that there have been no losses."

Ye Baoling: "Yes. So far, this matter has not caused any losses to the company, but unsuccessful murder does not mean that he is innocent. It is called attempted murder. Although Ye Kaishen's conspiracy did not ultimately cause any losses to the company, it does not mean that he is not responsible."

Ye Qizong: "I can see that you want to get rid of Kaishen from the company. You're teaming up with outsiders to deal with Kaishen. What kind of good person is this Cai Yongming, who preys on respectable women? Can his words be used as testimony?"

Cai Yongming angrily said, "I'm no good. What about Ye Kaishen? Miss Ye is absolutely right to say that he 'disregarded the company's interests and committed numerous evils.' In order to bring Miss Ye down, he instructed me to stuff drugs into the first batch of jasmine iced tea Christmas gift packages that Ye Qingtang was shipping to the United States."

These words stunned everyone.

Using drugs to frame one's own family?

"Wow!" Ye Kaimin immediately exclaimed, "Ye Kaishen, I never thought you were so vicious! You're capable of doing something like this. You're harming the company and your own cousin's daughter; your methods are too cruel!"

Ye Kaishen denied it: "Stop talking nonsense. Where's the evidence? If drugs were inserted, why didn't the American police detect it?"

Ye Baoling: "What a coincidence? This is the next thing I want to talk about. Ye Kaishen, you don't think you're so clever that you've kept us all in the dark, do you? The American police didn't find out because we dealt with it in advance after we discovered it."

No wonder the American police didn't find drugs in the figurine; they had already discovered them.

Ye Kaishen firmly denied it: "Ye Baoling, you guys have really gone too far. Do you know that framing me with drugs will put me in jail?!"

"You know that people who are framed go to jail? Why don't you think about me then? Oh, of course you don't think about me, you just want me to go to jail! For your own selfish reasons, you even dared to sabotage our first shipment to the United States. Where do you put the company's interests?"

Ye Qizong stood up, nervous, after all, if this matter got out of hand, he could really go to jail. "Where's the evidence? Show me the evidence."

Chen Yulan handed over a videotape, and Ye Baoling said, "There is evidence on the videotape."

There was no projector in the office. Yeh Chi-tsung: "You just pull out a random tape and call it evidence?"

As they were talking, Wang Simin led the security guards in carrying the projection equipment and television set, which had been moved from the conference room.

Ye Baoshun helped put the videotape in.

The television showed footage of a factory warehouse, where someone climbed onto a large shelf and furtively stuffed several packages of something into the outermost panda plush toy.

Ye Baoling walked over, pointed at the television, and said, "The person in the picture is Awei, the warehouse manager of Warehouse No. 2. He has confessed that Cai Yongming instructed him to hide the drugs. His testimony is in the document I just gave him."

"Doesn't this just prove that Cai Yongming was behind it? He's trying to drag Kaishen down with him now!" Ye Qizong retorted, refusing to let Cai Yongming off the hook.

Cai Yongming defended himself, saying, "That bag of heroin was given to me by Ye Kaishen himself. At the time, we were in the warehouse, and we were stuffing the drugs into the dolls. Ye Kaishen's assistant, Ah Cheng, was watching us from the side."

Ye Baoling: "That's right, Ye Kaishen's assistant, Acheng, was indeed on set. Rewind the video, he's in the corner."

After fast-forwarding through the video, I found shots of Cai Yongming and Acheng.

Ye Kaishen was furious after being exposed, but he tried his best to remain rational, since there was no direct evidence pointing to him at the moment.

They can shift the blame onto Cai Yongming and then spend some money to make Acheng take the fall.

No, there's no need for anyone to take the blame.

Ye Kaishen: "Is I in this video? What is that blurry thing you dare to call drugs? Where are the drugs? If you go to the police, they might not even take the case. Based on this video, based on just a few words, you're saying I instructed you to plant drugs? Why don't you say I'm your father?!"

Although Ye Kaishen denied it, everyone present understood that he was definitely the one who instructed him.

Having anticipated that he wouldn't admit it, Ye Baoling didn't present the final piece of evidence.

She wanted to see how the old men of the Ye family would deal with Ye Kaishen, whether they would choose to keep their family scandals private and continue to try to protect him.

Sure enough, Ye Qizu asked a crucial question: "Where are the drugs? Where did they go?"

Ye Baoling: "In order not to affect the first batch of goods shipped to the United States, I had them scattered in international waters."

Ye Qizong sneered: "That's all thanks to your mouth. There's not even a trace of drugs, yet you dare to frame your own uncle."

"Alright!" Ye Qizu waved his hand. After all, there were still outsiders in the office. If the drug matter escalated, it would have a significant impact on the eldest son's family and Ye Kaishen. He wanted to take this opportunity to control Ye Qizong and his son, so he said, "Since there are no drugs, don't bring them up again. We can discuss other matters at home. Go home first."

Just as she expected.

Ye Qizu, for his own personal gain and to show off his authority as the head of the family, wanted to settle the matter privately.

Ye Baoling didn't say anything more.

Ye Kaimin came over and whispered to her, "You should quickly call Huaizhang. We must settle the score when we get back. We can't let Ye Kaishen off the hook like this."

Ye Baoling ignored her.

She gave Chen Yulan a look, signaling her to pack her things and head to the old eldest son's mansion.

Wang Simin and other bystanders watched helplessly as the entire melon patch was swept away.

*

Ye Kaishen hurriedly went downstairs to get his car. While driving, he called his lawyer to inquire about relevant legal risks.

As soon as they got onto the road, the police stopped their car.

Ye Kaishen thought they were checking for drunk driving, and he explained with a bewildered look, "Officer, who drinks in broad daylight?"

As a result, the police found a packet of drugs in a hidden compartment in the trunk of his car.

Ye Kaishen stared at the familiar plastic bag packaging, completely stunned...

They didn't release it into international waters, did they?

Did Ye Baoling have someone let her in?!

He was detained on the spot before he could defend himself.

Soon, Ye Kaishen's fingerprints were detected on the plastic bag containing the drugs.

Author's Note: Ye Baoling: Returned to its rightful owner [winking emoji]

Ye Huaizhang: My wife is quite shrewd. [kissing emoji]

Ye Kaishen wanted to swear.

The flu is rampant lately, and I accidentally caught it. I feel dizzy and lightheaded, and it's awful.

Remember to wear a mask when you go out, and take precautions to protect yourself from the virus and keep warm. [Heart emoji]
