"Very well, from now on you will be my disciple, and I will impart all the knowledge I have acquired in my life to you." Yin Lao Er said, "To cultivate this method, you must first conceive a child and transform it into a ghost infant."
"Then I'll find a man and get pregnant?" Chen Roujin asked.
“Yes, but it’s best if the ghost baby’s biological father is powerful. After all, the ghost baby is the catalyst. If the catalyst is powerful, the eight children that will follow will be even stronger,” Yin Lao Er said.
“Powerful, huh? Ye Xingchen is so amazing, but he’s still a man. Do you think someone like him could refuse a woman who comes to him?” Chen Roujin licked her lips, already having an idea in mind.
Ye Xingchen knew he had been tricked, but what he didn't know was that Chen Roujin had tricked him in this way.
He was drinking alone in a very nice club.
"Waiter." Ye Xingchen placed his wine glass on the table and rang the service bell.
Soon, a waiter came in and said respectfully, "Sir, is there anything you need?"
"Have your boss come over," Ye Xingchen said calmly.
"Sir, is there something you're dissatisfied with about our service?" the waiter asked, looking puzzled.
"The wine is fake." Ye Xingchen pointed to the wine on the table. "The taste is wrong."
"Sir, you're joking. This wine is from our boss's cellar collection; it's guaranteed authentic," the waiter said with a smile.
"I said the taste is wrong, and that's it. Your boss is Chen Liang, right? Tell him to come out." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
"Our boss doesn't easily meet people," the waiter said, shaking his head.
*Thud* Ye Xingchen slammed a bottle of wine onto the ground: “You can’t make this decision. Get him out here.”
The waiter, still smiling, said, "Sir, if you are not satisfied with the wine, I will change it for you immediately, and today's meal is on the house."
"I said, have your boss come see me." Ye Xingchen grabbed the wine bottle and slammed it against the ceiling.
With a crash, the chandelier on the ceiling suddenly fell down, shattering onto the floor.
The clubhouse was renovated at a high cost; a single chandelier alone is worth over a million.
"I'm sorry, sir..." The waiter kept apologizing, not at all angry about Ye Xingchen's deliberate trouble-making.
Just then, the door opened and a young man walked in. He waved his hand and said, "You may leave."
This person was none other than Chen Liang, another grandson of Chen Wanning and nephew of Chen Zhengyi.
"Yes, Mr. Chen." The waiter bowed slightly and then left.
"Young Master Ye, I'm truly sorry that I haven't been able to satisfy you on your first visit." Chen Liang smiled slightly, "Today's expenses are on me, as an apology to you."
"You knew I was coming all along, you should have come out sooner." Ye Xingchen then sat down.
"Let's change to another private room. Someone, clean this place up," Chen Liang said, turning around.
The two changed to a private room, and Chen Liang brought out his treasured wines.
"This is truly good wine." Ye Xingchen was very satisfied with Chen Liang's wine.
"Young Master Ye, you came here specifically to see me, didn't you?" Chen Liang said with a smile. "You don't come here without a reason, Young Master Ye, so just tell me what you're here for."
"I've had such a falling out with your Chen family, and you can still smile at me. That's quite impressive," Ye Xingchen said with a slight smile.
"Hehe, grudges aside, business still needs to be done." Chen Liang smiled slightly and said, "I'm a businessman; I only care about profits, not grudges."
"Interesting." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, staring at Chen Liang: "Do you know why I approached you?"
"Young Master Ye has his reasons for approaching me," Chen Liang said calmly. "But if I'm not mistaken, Young Master Ye wants to bring me into his camp, to stand on the same side as him, right?"
"It's really comfortable talking to smart people," Ye Xingchen said with a slight smile. "They understand immediately and never beat around the bush."
"Heh, unfortunately, I am a member of the Chen family, and Young Master Ye's ultimate goal is to destroy the Chen family." Chen Liang's pupils narrowed slightly: "Therefore, I cannot agree to this proposal."
"I know how strong the Chen family is hiding in the shadows," Ye Xingchen said with a slight smile. "I'm not so arrogant as to think I can destroy the Chen family."
“My enemy is your uncle Chen Zhengyi. As long as I get rid of him, I can avenge my father. As for how far the Chen family goes, it has little to do with me.”
“That won’t do either. As a member of the Chen family, we share the same fate.” Chen Liang shook his head: “I’m not so heartless as to think that outsiders would turn against my own family.”
"Chen Zhengyi is your uncle, that's true, but ask yourself honestly, do you really consider him family?" Ye Xingchen stared at him and suddenly laughed.
"No matter what, he is my uncle, that's true. We belong to different camps within the Chen family, that's true, but he is my uncle, that's an undeniable fact," Chen Liang said with a smile.
“If you were a good-for-nothing rich kid like your father, I wouldn’t have come looking for you today,” Ye Xingchen said with a smile. “Because you pose no threat to Chen Zhengyi.”
“But you are not. Your abilities and courage are no less than Chen Zhengyi’s, and you are even more shrewd than him.”
"Chen Zhengyi is quite capable, and he also has the title of Iron-Faced War God, but unfortunately, he has a useless son. If the future of the Chen family is handed over to his son, then it will really be over."
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Chen Zhengyi stared at Ye Xingchen, a deep, unfathomable chill in his eyes.
“Your grandfather sees further than you do. In your opinion, the head of the Chen family is Chen Zhengyi, right?” Ye Xingchen asked.
"If it's not him, then is it my dad?" Chen Liang rolled his eyes inwardly.
My father, at his advanced age, spends his time admiring flowers and birds, eating, drinking, and having fun; he's a complete good-for-nothing.
If he had been more ambitious and had the ability to compete for the position of family head, I wouldn't be in such a passive position.
"Of course it wouldn't be your father, but is it possible that your grandfather skipped your father's generation and passed the position of family head directly to the third generation?" Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
Chen Liang was taken aback, and he began to seriously consider Ye Xingchen's words.
"This is also the problem that Chen Zhengyi is worried about. For the sake of his position, do you think he will let you go?" Ye Xingchen said leisurely, "You know his cunning and methods."
"If he really intends to harm you, do you think you can escape?"
Chen Liang frowned deeply. In fact, he had thought about these things before.
But it was just a thought, because Chen Zhengyi's status in the family was something he could never catch up to.
There's nothing I can do; who told me to have a father who's a gambler and a fun-loving person?
But when these words came out of Ye Xingchen's mouth, it was different, forcing him to reconsider.
