Chapter 471 Designed in Advance
After Ella said this, she wanted to get up and leave.
Seeing this, Helan Tianyou quickly stopped her.
"Wait a minute." He said, "Don't be so anxious, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Ella glanced at him and said, "I don't like wasting time. Besides, my time is precious, and it's not worth wasting it on you."
“…”
Helan Tianyou was really impressed by her words.
If he doesn't lose money for a moment, it will be like losing millions.
Helan Tianyou struggled for a moment, then looked dejected.
He frowned, looking as if he couldn't speak.
Ella added, "You don't have to make things difficult for yourself. If you have your own difficulties, you don't have to tell me."
It seems that she is quite understanding.
However, her next words were, "As for the old man, you can go and talk to him yourself. As for how he deals with you, it has nothing to do with me. After all, I am the victim. There is no reason for me to plead for someone who wants to hurt me. I am not a naive person with a heart of a bodhisattva. I don't have such a kind heart."
The glimmer of hope that had just risen in Helan Tianyou's heart was shattered before it even lasted a second.
He hesitated, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but although the people from the Second Branch may seem low-key, they are more ruthless than anyone from our branches. They usually don't fight or compete, but that's just a disguise. In reality, they want the Helan Family's inheritance rights even more than we do."
Although the Helan family has many descendants, in his father's generation, the old man was still in power, and he did not choose any of his sons to take power.
Before this, although the old man had not yet determined his successor, everyone seemed to have the opportunity to become the next person in charge of the Helan family.
But in fact, everyone knew very well that the person the old man favored most was her brother Helan Qiuze.
The Helan family has many descendants, but only Helan Qiuze was raised by him and cultivated by him.
However, Helan Qiuze did not disappoint everyone's expectations. He was indeed very strong, and his abilities in all aspects were excellent and outstanding. This made people from each family feel a sense of crisis.
Moreover, the old man is indeed partial to the people from the first wife, but no matter how partial he is, as long as the position of heir is not from the first wife, they can still accept it.
However, as long as the slightest rumor gets out, everyone's ambitions hidden deep in their hearts will be exposed.
However, no one cares who leaked this news.
Therefore, they easily overlook the most important point.
"You don't often interact with the Helan family, so you might not know much about them, but your brother certainly does. After the news broke that your brother would become the heir to the Helan family, the other three branches of the family were very opposed and fiercely contested. Only the second branch was the calmest, even some saying they supported your brother becoming the heir. But in reality, that was all just a ploy. The second branch simply wanted the rest of the family to be the first to take action so they could reap the benefits."
Helan Tianyou coughed lightly and continued, "You might not believe this, but I'm not interested in the heir to the Helan family. I can accept anyone as the heir. I can see through some things better than they do, and I know who's more ambitious."
"On the day your brother had the accident, I was indeed with Helan Tianyu, but he came to see me out of the blue. There was nothing unusual at the time. The only thing that was unusual was that he stayed with me the entire day, and we only separated after the news of your brother's car accident spread."
Ella listened quietly.
Then she asked, "And then?"
Helan Tianyou continued, "At first, I didn't think there was anything wrong. Until the third day, the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. And that day, he happened to come to me and told me that if the old man sent someone to ask if he was with me on the day your brother had the accident, I just needed to answer truthfully. That night, the old man's people came. At that time, I thought some things clearly, but it was just my guess. I had no evidence, and Helan Tianyu also promised me something, so I naturally didn't dwell on it anymore. After all, it had nothing to do with me, and I didn't want to get involved in these things."
"But, he must be related to your brother's accident. But what's the point of you knowing all this? After all these years, you still haven't found anything. Even if you have what I said, it can't be used as evidence, so even if he really did it, you can't do anything to him."
He actually told the truth.
Ella naturally knew that his words could not be used as evidence, she was just trying to get a clue.
With his words, she could lock on to her target.
Helan Tianyou looked at her and said, "That's all I know. I don't know anything more. So, can you forgive me?"
Ella narrowed her eyes and said, "I'll think about it."
Helan Tianyou: "...No, I've told you everything I know. What else are you considering? I really don't know anything else, and Helan Tianyu won't tell me. He's a very defensive and shrewd person."
Ella said, "What if you betray me?"
"No." Helan Tianyou said immediately: "Don't worry, I will never reveal a word to Helan Tianyu."
"How can I trust you?"
Ella looked at him calmly.
Helan Tianyou felt really tired. If he had known there would be so many troubles, he would not have bothered this little devil last night.
Now, if things go wrong, he might be dragged into this conspiracy.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Then tell me, what do you want in exchange for believing me?"
Ella thought for a few seconds, "You don't need to do anything dangerous, you just need to get close to Helan Tianyu."
Hearing this, Helan Tianyou's face suddenly froze.
He said, "No, getting close to Helan Tianyu is dangerous in itself. Aren't you just sending me to die? What if he finds out that I have ulterior motives? Then what chance do I have of survival?"
Helan Tianyu is too dangerous. If he were to get close to him, wouldn't that be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?
At this time, Ye Jiuqing, who had been silent the whole time, looked at him with disdain and said, "Look at you, you're so cowardly! Weren't you so majestic last night? Why, do you only dare to show off your majesty in front of women? It becomes a bag when it comes to men?"
“…”
Helan Tianyou only then realized that Ye Jiuqing had heard what he had just said.
He had almost forgotten about him just now.
He looked at Ella, pointed at Ye Jiuqing, and said, "He heard everything I just said. Aren't you afraid it will be leaked? He should be more unreliable than me, right?"
Ella said without hesitation: "He is much more reliable than you."
She still has this confidence.
Helan Tianyou: "..."
Ella stopped talking nonsense with him. "You just need to answer whether you agree or not. I'll give you one minute to think about it. If you miss this opportunity, there won't be a next time."
