After all, before his father's accident, he had tried hard to persuade Ye Taihe to leave a way out for his parents, but Ye Taihe did not listen.
"Xingchen, your grandfather, is he really... dead?" Ye Yizhou grabbed Ye Xingchen's hand.
“I’m sure of it. I saw him last night. Before I left, I gave him a Soul-Locking Pill.” Ye Xingchen said, “If he had taken this medicine, he could have lived like a normal person for a year, but unfortunately, Ye Chengen stopped him.”
"Nonsense! Do you have any evidence? You're a bastard! How dare you break into our Ye family and cause trouble? Men, throw him out! Jiang Ran, are you fucking dead?" Ye Chengen roared.
"Of course I'm not dead." Jiang Ran strode in and said in a deep voice, "What Ye Xingchen said is true, and I can prove it."
"Can you prove it? What proof do you have? Who do you think you are?" Ye Chengen's gaze towards Jiang Ran was filled with murderous intent; he really wanted to kill him right now.
Jiang Ran, that scumbag, had clearly already pledged allegiance to me, so why has he switched sides now? Why?
"Old Master Ye has been incredibly kind to me. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today." Jiang Ran said coldly, "You probably don't know, but there are hidden cameras in the room. Old Master Ye knew all along that you would kill your father and seize power."
"You, you..." Ye Chengen felt his blood pressure soaring. He really didn't know what to say to Jiang Ran.
“All the footage is recorded on this USB drive. Once it’s released, the truth will come to light.” Jiang Ran took out a USB drive and handed it to Ye Yizhou.
Ye Chengen stepped forward to snatch it, but Ye Xingchen slapped him across the face and threw him to the ground.
Sun Yizhou glared fiercely at Ye Yizhou, then reached out and inserted the video into the conference room's large screen. Someone stepped forward, found the video, and started playing it.
What happened that night is clearly shown in the video.
This includes the conversation between Ye Xingchen and Ye Taihe, as well as Ye Xingchen's departure after delivering the medicine.
Ye Chengen smashed the water glass, snatched the Soul-Locking Pill, and then Ye Taihe revealed his background, as well as that Ye Jinyu's death was due to him leaking information to the Chen family...
Everything was recorded clearly.
"Ye Chengen, how dare you... commit patricide?" Ye Yizhou stared at Ye Chengen in disbelief, on the verge of exploding with rage.
He used to think that Ye Chengen was just a bit ignorant and incompetent, but that he wasn't a bad person at heart.
But he never dreamed that Ye Chengen would do something so absurd.
Even if Ye Taihe wasn't his biological father, he had still raised him for decades. What difference was there between him and his biological father?
But this beast even tried to kill his own father.
"It wasn't me, I didn't kill him. He died on his own. You all saw it. I didn't touch him." Ye Chengen was so frightened that his face turned pale, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
He truly hadn't expected things to escalate to this point; he had initially thought he had everything under control and victory was assured.
As long as he can intimidate the elders of the Ye family and suppress them at the family council meeting, he will be able to rest easy.
He figured that if the Wu family added fuel to the fire, he could secure his position as head of the family. But despite his careful planning, he overlooked one crucial point.
He never expected Jiang Ran to betray him, and Jiang Ran even went directly to Ye Xingchen, which was a devastating blow to him.
"Indeed, you didn't do it yourself," Ye Xingchen said coldly, "but what's the difference between that and doing it yourself?"
“He is not your biological father, but he is also the benefactor who raised you for decades. That medicine was his last hope for survival, but you took it away.”
"What's the difference between you and a beast?"
"Ye Xingchen, who the hell do you think you are? You're not even a member of the Ye family, what gives you the right to point fingers here?"
Ye Chengen roared, trying to incite the Ye family to target Ye Xingchen. After all, he had lived in the Ye family for decades and had feelings for them.
Ye Xingchen was just an outsider, and in his opinion, he would never lose to an outsider.
However, everyone in the Ye family looked at him indifferently, their eyes filled with anger.
No one responded to him, because this man who even tried to kill his own father and elder brother was a beast and did not deserve to stand with the Ye family.
"Do you think you're still qualified to stand here in the Ye family and point fingers?" Ye Xingchen stared at Ye Chengen.
"If I'm not worthy, are you?" Ye Chengen suddenly laughed bitterly, and he roared hysterically, "Ye Xingchen, so what if I'm abandoned by the Ye family? That old man in the Ye family never acknowledged your identity until his death."
"You're a bastard, a bastard..."
Snap...
Ye Xingchen slapped Ye Chengen, sending him flying.
With a thud, Ye Chengen fell to the ground. Ye Xingchen had smashed all his teeth, and his mouth was full of blood, making him look extremely ferocious.
"The real bastard is you, isn't he?" Ye Xingchen said coldly. "I can't control what you do in the Ye family, but you have to explain your father's situation clearly."
"Heh, what if I don't tell you?" Ye Chengen grinned maliciously. "What right do you have to order me around?"
“Of course he is qualified. This is the will that Old Master Ye made before his death. The will clearly states that after his death, Ye Xingchen will take over the Ye family, and no one is allowed to obstruct it.” Jiang Ran dropped another bombshell.
He took out a safe, opened it, and inside was a will written by Ye Taihe himself, and a USB drive containing the will he had recorded before his death.
The will was notarized by three parties and is accurate.
Ye Chengen stared intently at the will, his eyes practically spitting fire.
"When was this will made?" Ye Chengen raised his head with difficulty.
"Six months ago, after Ye Xingchen arrived in Yanjing, this will was already made," Jiang Ran said. "He said that he felt guilty towards his eldest son's family, and that Ye Xingchen was exceptionally capable and could expand the territory. If he died, he was willing to hand over the position of family head to Ye Xingchen."
"Six months ago, six months ago? Hahaha..." Ye Chengen suddenly burst into laughter, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his hair disheveled, looking like a madman.
"He had already planned to do this six months ago? Haha, good, very good."
Ye Chengen roared wildly, then suddenly tripped and fell to the ground with a thud.
His roar turned into a wail: "Old man, old man, how could I not want to be the wise and brave son in your eyes?"
"I follow my older brother's example in everything I do, and I hope that while you dote on him, you will also give me a second glance."
"But in your eyes, I've always been that good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing playboy. Have you... ever believed me?"
