Ye Zhen was raging in his office, his desk a complete mess.
"Damn you, Xu Nuo, Nan Qing'an! You set a trap! Damn it! Don't let me see either of you..."
Ye Zhen went berserk in his office, repeatedly slamming his computer against the desk as if he were smashing not the computer, but the person he was cursing!
The staff outside the office dared not breathe as they listened to the noises inside. Some of them were already secretly looking for new jobs online.
The office door was pushed open, and Ye Zhen stopped what he was doing and looked towards the door.
"Even if you see those two, what can you do? What makes you think you can touch them? You idiot!"
Ye Qingshan's previously mixed black and white hair had turned completely white, and his expression was visibly haggard, as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant.
"Grandpa, what brings you here?"
"Do you think you can keep this a secret if I don't come?"
Ye Qingshan frowned as he looked at the smashed computer: "I warned you before, but you wouldn't listen! How do you plan to clean this up now?"
Ye Zhen scratched his head, shook his head, and didn't say anything.
How does he know how to end things, and how to make a clean break?
Now everything has fallen on his shoulders, and he can't explain himself no matter what. Yesterday, the underground casino was shut down, and he was summoned to the police station for questioning.
Looking at the evidence and confessions in front of him, Ye Zhen realized that he had fallen into a trap that Xu Nuo had dug long ago!
The electronic engineering project was halted immediately after it was implicated in a case and its funding sources were found to be unclear.
All the money invested could very well be gone!
"I've arranged for someone to take you across the border. Pack your things, you're leaving tonight!"
Ye Zhen raised his head: "Leave the country? I'm not leaving! If I'm going to leave, I'll kill Xu Nuo and Nan Qing'an first!"
Snap!
Ye Qingshan slapped Ye Zhen across the face:
"Do you think you have the ability? Get out of the country right now! If you don't leave, do you think you can still get away?"
Ye Qingshan took a deep breath before speaking again:
"Let's see who can leave first! I, this old man, will take care of the rest!"
Ye Zhen dared not utter another word, a sinister look flashing in his eyes as he thought of Nan Qing'an and Xu Nuo.
...............................................................................................
As night fell, the Ye family mansion was brightly lit.
Ye Qingshan sat in his study, with cold tea in front of him.
The old butler tried to help him change into something warm, but he raised his hand to stop him. His aged face was full of worry as he asked:
"Hasn't he arrived yet?"
The old butler shook his head.
Ye Qingshan looked at the open doorway; he had been sitting there waiting all afternoon.
————————————————————————
Outside the Ye family's old residence, a black sedan was parked at the entrance. Ye Linyan, wearing a black mid-length trench coat, got out of the car.
Ye Linyan's black tie fluttered in the autumn wind. He casually straightened his hands, which were covered in pure black gloves, and looked up at the wide gate of the old house for a while.
Wang Mingwu turned off the car and got out. A young man followed him out, wearing a faded blue jacket and carrying a black briefcase.
"You wait here."
Ye Linyan looked at the gate of the old house, left a sentence, and stepped inside.
Wang Mingwu glanced at the slightly uneasy little boy and couldn't understand why Ye Linyan would bring a bartender back and have him by her side.
Taking the briefcase from his hand, Wang Mingwu quickly followed Ye Linyan.
Ye Qingshan had established a rule that members of the Ye family were not allowed to bring bodyguards or assistants when visiting the old mansion. However, today, Ye Linyan led Wang Mingwu from the main gate all the way to Ye Qingshan's study, and no one dared to stop them!
"Young Master Yan has arrived!"
The old butler, with his sharp eyes, spotted Ye Linyan and spoke up to remind Ye Qingshan, who was lost in thought.
Ye Qingshan looked up at the doorway and saw that the tall figure had already walked in. When he noticed that the figure was accompanied by another person, Ye Qingshan's expression darkened.
Before Ye Qingshan could speak, Ye Linyan sat down in the chair.
Ye Qingshan frowned. In the past, the younger generation could not easily sit down unless he offered them a seat.
Ye Linyan's actions today were all breaking his own rules, which displeased Ye Qingshan, but he didn't say it out loud.
"I heard about what happened to you overseas. You're quite capable; you managed to come back in such a glorious manner under those circumstances!"
Ye Qingshan wanted to drink tea, but when he touched the teacup, which had already gone cold, he withdrew his hand.
"Thanks to my mother."
As Ye Linyan spoke, he glanced coldly at Ye Qingshan.
Ye Qingshan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "You are still a member of the Ye family after all."
"It doesn't have to be that!"
Ye Linyan picked up the tea that the old butler had brought over and fiddled with the tea leaves floating on top.
"You have the blood of the Ye family flowing in your veins; you can't just deny it if you want to!"
From Ye Linyan's words, Ye Qingshan had already discerned that he roughly knew the truth about his mother's car accident.
"Speak, what do you want with me?"
Ye Linyan had no time for beating around the bush. Ever since he learned the truth about the car accident, he hadn't wanted to see Ye Qingshan even once.
Before coming, he did a lot of mental preparation for himself, because he was afraid that he would really lose control and want to avenge his mother!
"I must commend you, you truly are my grandson! Your escape was brilliant!"
Ye Qingshan also picked up the tea that the old butler had just served him, took a sip, and continued:
"Such a large sum of money, your uncle must have given it to you!"
“My uncle has passed away. Before he died, he missed my mother very much.”
As he spoke, Ye Linyan looked at Ye Qingshan with obvious hatred in his eyes.
Trying to ignore the hateful eyes, Ye Qingshan closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again:
"The Ye family empire is about to collapse, Ayan. I've told you before, and you can't deny it, you have the blood of the Ye family flowing through your veins!"
"so what?"
"I'm handing over the chairmanship to you. Only you can save the Ye family now!"
"Why should I save the Ye family? I've already said it before, I don't want that position!"
Ye Lin spoke coldly and took a sip of tea from his cup.
"Are you just going to watch the Ye family be destroyed, and have Nan Qing'an devour them whole, skin and bones?"
Ye Qingshan was somewhat excited, and his voice immediately rose a pitch.
"Whether the Ye family falls or not is none of my business, but I won't let Nan Qing'an have his way. So, I'm giving you a choice..."
