The Chen family’s public relations department discovered it too late. With public opinion on the Internet overwhelmingly in the spotlight, the only way to save their company was to immediately issue a clarification, saying that Chen Ying had nothing to do with the Chen Group and that Chen Ying was not the heir to the Chen Group.
But as soon as the PR manager finished speaking, Mr. Chen got furious: "She is my granddaughter! I only have this one granddaughter, and she will be the heir to our Chen Group in the future! You want me to issue a clarification now, so how can you let Xiaoying stay in the company in the future? How will the shareholders view her?"
The PR manager had a headache and could only patiently explain the twists and turns to Mr. Chen.
But Mr. Chen was much more stubborn than he had imagined. He refused to agree and asked the PR manager to find a way to reverse the one-sided public opinion on the Internet.
The call was hung up and the PR manager was furious.
Find a solution yourself?
What could he think of?
The Public Security Bureau of City A has already announced the results of its investigation. Do netizens believe them or the police?
He had already told Mr. Chen the best solution he could think of, but he was unwilling to adopt it and he had no other options.
Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early in the workday, the PR manager simply threw down his responsibility and beat the guy up.
He quits!
Let Old Master Chen do whatever he wants. Since he sees that the Chen family can’t make a comeback this time, he doesn’t bother to care.
Once the PR manager abdicated, no one was in charge of the matter anymore.
Public opinion on the Internet had long been one-sided. After waiting for a whole night, seeing that the Chen family had not taken any action, those companies that had deep cooperation with the Chen family finally became disappointed with the Chen family.
After the announcement of termination of cooperation, lawyers’ letters one after another were sent to the legal department of Chen Group.
Early the next morning, even an investor who had been investing in Chen Group announced his withdrawal of investment, and Chen's stock price continued to fall to the limit.
After two pieces of bad news came one after another, Mr. Chen finally realized that something was wrong.
Isn't it just a small matter?
Why did the investors withdraw their investment?
Mr. Chen quickly called the other party, and because of their past relationship, the investor still answered the call.
But before the investor could say a few words, Mr. Chen complained: "We have been working together for so many years, how can you withdraw your investment just like that? Didn't I make enough money for you before? Now my family is busy with Xiaoying's affairs, can you please stop causing trouble for me?"
When the investor heard this, he immediately became angry.
He thought that Mr. Chen called to apologize to him, and he was thinking about their friendship over the years, so it wasn't impossible for him to help out for a while.
Instead of an apology, I received a bunch of complaints.
The investor sneered, "I'm causing trouble for you? Lao Chen, you really can't figure it out! My funds have helped your company through so many difficult times. You should know in your heart whether I have helped you more or you have made more money for me! Let's not say such irresponsible words against our conscience!"
"Oh, no—"
The investor lost his patience: "Okay, I have nothing to say to you. Since you feel that I can't help you, then you should find another job and we won't contact each other again in the future!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone mercilessly.
Old Man Chen held the phone in his hand, completely dumbfounded.
But this is far from over.
After the Chen Group's stock market ups and downs, more and more investors announced the termination of cooperation with the Chen Group. Even several major shareholders of the company began to sell the company's stocks at low prices.
If this continues, the Chen Group might really go bankrupt.
Old Master Chen finally started to get anxious, but it was too late to think of a solution now.
After another shareholder meeting ended unhappily, Mr. Chen finally made up his mind. He said to his son, "Prepare some gifts and go to the Ye family..." After a pause, Mr. Chen took a deep breath, calmed down, and said through gritted teeth, "Just say that you should apologize to the child in their family on behalf of Xiaoying!"
When the son heard this, his face changed immediately: "You want me to apologize to a junior?"
"What else?" Old Master Chen said in a shocked voice, "Don't you understand yet? The Ye family is targeting our family. If we don't give in, do you think our company can continue to operate?"
The son's face was full of gloom, but thinking of the current difficulties of the company, he nodded and agreed.
That afternoon, he sent someone with a lot of gifts to apologize to the Ye family.
The housekeeper told Ye Zong about the Chen family's visit.
Before Ye Zong could say anything, Tan Zheng beside him sneered, "Let them go back to where they came from. Seeing that the company can no longer operate, they finally thought of coming to apologize to our Ranran? What were they doing earlier?"
Ye Zong had the same idea as Tan Zheng, but his words were even more impolite: "Let them go!"
The son of the Chen family was turned away and was very angry, but thinking of Mr. Chen's instructions, he didn't dare to leave immediately. He could only stand at the door and wait to see if Ye Zong would change his mind.
When Ye Pei drove over, the family saw this scene.
Song Ya recognized the man and frowned: "It's the son of the Chen family."
Ye Pei said calmly: "Ignore him."
Ye Chaoran turned his head to look out the window and didn't dare to speak.
Ye Pei and Song Ya arrived in City A two days ago. They bought tickets for the evening and arrived in City A early in the morning.
Ye Zong sent someone to pick them up at the airport early. When the two arrived at Ye's house, they went to the room to see Ye Chaoran without even drinking a sip of water.
Ye Chaoran was still sleeping at that time and was picked up from the bed by Ye Pei.
Ye Chaoran was frightened and subconsciously wanted to resist, but when he saw it was Ye Pei, he instantly wilted.
I called out very hard and guiltily, "Dad."
Song Ya followed in, and Ye Chaoran called out again, "Mom."
Ye Pei did not respond to Ye Chaoran, and Song Ya ignored him.
Ye Chaoran: “…”
Ye Pei looked Ye Chaoran over and over in bed, and after making sure that he was not injured, he snorted coldly, "Are you brave enough?"
How could Ye Chaoran dare to say anything?
Fortunately, Ye Zong and Tan Zheng soon followed and temporarily solved Ye Chaoran’s predicament.
After the family had breakfast, Song Ya and Ye Pei prepared to go to the police station.
Ye Zong, Tan Zheng and Ye Chaoran were also going today, so they followed along.
When they were in the car, Ye Chaoran had planned to follow Ye Zong and Tan Zheng, but before he got in, Ye Pei put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Sit with me."
Ye Chaoran didn't dare to resist, and followed his father into the car with a bitter face.
After getting in the car, Ye Chaoran was interrogated by the couple.
The interrogation ended only when the car slowly drove into the police station.
After getting off the car, Ye Chaoran took out his cell phone and sent a miserable emoticon to Jiang Xunmo while Ye Pei was not paying attention.
Jiang Xunmo didn't reply, so Ye Chaoran went to take the statement again.
When I came out of the recording room, it was already noon.
Jiang Xunmo’s message came back: [Were you scolded? 】
It's more than just being scolded!
Ye Chaoran felt sympathetic when he thought of Ye Pei's expression in the car. Fortunately, their family never used sticks when educating their children, otherwise...
Ye Chaoran shuddered and replied to Jiang Xunmo: [It’s more terrifying than being scolded! I might have to behave better in front of my parents these next two days. 】
I pretended to be good for two whole days.
Although Ye Pei and Song Ya returned to City A, they did not live in the Ye family. Ye Chaoran also moved from the Ye family manor to the hotel.
Ye Zong was very dissatisfied with this, but after seeing Ye Pei's expression, he had to swallow back the words that were about to come out of his throat.
Tan Zheng didn't say anything, but just asked Ye Pei to remember to send Ye Chaoran back at mealtime every day.
Now that Ye Chaoran was back, it was naturally difficult for Ye Pei and Song Ya to leave again, so the family sat together to eat for the past two days.
The relationship between Ye Zong and Ye Pei seemed to have eased a lot.
Ye Pei had just steady the car when Tan Zheng heard the noise and came out. Seeing Ye Chaoran, she smiled instantly: "How did you sleep last night?"
Ye Chaoran smiled: "Very good."
"That's good, come in," Tan Zheng turned to look at Song Ya and Ye Pei, "Lunch is ready."
Before the family finished lunch, Ye Zong received a call from the police station.
The more Ye Zong listened, the tighter his brows furrowed, and the whole family's eyes were on him.
After hanging up the phone, Tan Zheng asked first, "What happened? What did the police say? Why do you look so ugly?"
Ye Zong put down his phone, sighed, and said, "The results of Fang Yan's mental evaluation are out..."
He didn't need to say the rest, as the others understood from his expression.
Ye Chaoran pursed his lips, which was exactly what he had guessed.
Fang Yan is a very stubborn person. The more he can't get something, the more he wants it. The more you can’t get, the more you want it.
Long-standing desires in the heart for too long will turn into obsessions.
But Ye Chaoran did not expect that Fang Yan only persisted for a short six months.
However, the reason why he became like this was probably related to Fang Sheng's sudden departure from home and Fang Qishan and Cai Lianhua's successive imprisonments.
Although this punishment is indeed very light for him, as Jiang Xunmo said, Fang Yan will spend the rest of his life under surveillance, and that is enough.
After a long silence, Ye Pei said, "It's a good deal for him."
The others nodded in agreement.
"What about Mr. Fang?" Tan Zheng asked again, "Didn't they say he was sent to the hospital? How is he doing recently?"
Ye Zong shook his head: "The police didn't say, but I guess it won't be long before they can re-interrogate him, right?"
Unfortunately, Ye Zong guessed wrong.
Mr. Fang had just had a serious illness some time ago. After he vomited blood and was sent to the hospital, the doctor came out and shook his head at the policeman after he came out of the emergency room: "The patient's current condition is very complicated. The best treatment is definitely intubation, but once the intubation is inserted, it can never be removed except... It's best to notify the family and see what they think."
The police went back and discussed it with his superiors, then told Mrs. Fang about the incident.
When Mrs. Fang learned that Mr. Fang was seriously ill, she cried until her eyes were swollen.
She kept begging the police to let her visit Mr. Fang, but the police only said, "If you cooperate with the investigation, we will try our best to help you get a visit opportunity."
At this moment, Old Mrs. Fang felt extremely desperate, but unfortunately she could do nothing.
After a long day of struggling, she finally relented.
Old Mrs. Fang confessed all the truth she knew, including that Fang Qishan and Cai Lianhua were also involved.
The interrogating police officer knew that Fang Sheng had gone abroad, so he asked, "Didn't Fang Sheng attend?"
Old Mrs. Fang rolled her eyes and shook her head to deny it: "Our whole family knows that this matter is a serious sin, and we don't want Shengsheng to be involved in these things..."
The police did not ask any further questions, but that did not mean he believed what Mrs. Fang said.
After finally getting the chance to visit the hospital, Mrs. Fang burst into tears as soon as she got out of the police car.
When she saw Mr. Fang lying on the hospital bed again, her tears started to fall.
"Please, police, I beg you, please save him--" Old Mrs. Fang cried loudly beside the hospital bed.
"Don't worry, the doctors in the hospital have already started treatment." The policeman helped up old Mrs. Fang who was lying on the bed.
Old Mrs. Fang’s visit was not long, and she did not dare to cry for too long. She could only hold Old Man Fang’s hand and call his name over and over again.
"Don't worry, I will ask the police to contact Shengsheng. When Shengsheng comes back, he will definitely take good care of you..."
"It's okay. I'm an old lady, so I'll just go in. You, an old man, should take care of your health..."
Old Mrs. Fang talked a lot, and when the police finally took her away, she looked at Old Man Fang on the bed with tears in her eyes.
She only had this one visit, and this farewell was probably a farewell to death.
The more Mrs. Fang thought about it, the more sad she became, and she almost fainted from crying.
The police had no choice but to rush Mrs. Fang to the hospital for emergency treatment.
The police in charge of guarding were really overwhelmed.
"Should we tell Fang Yan about this?" a policeman asked.
"The higher-ups mean that we need to notify him as well. Even though he looks a little crazy now, he will eventually wake up."
The police nodded and asked no more questions.
…
The police went to see Fang Yan that night and said they would take him to see Old Mrs. Fang and Old Mr. Fang.
As soon as Old Mrs. Fang woke up, she clamored to see Fang Yan. After discussing with her superiors, she agreed.
After all, whether it's Mrs. Fang or Mr. Fang, these two old people probably won't live long...
The young policeman was very surprised to hear the news: "Why do you say that..."
"You don't know yet? Old Mrs. Fang was diagnosed with cancer... I guess she won't even be able to wait until the lawsuit begins..."
The young policeman was very shocked, but at the same time he felt very emotional. He believed that evil would be punished and God was always fair.
The doctor said that Fang Yan's mood was relatively stable today. The young policeman met Fang Yan and briefly told him about Mrs. Fang's condition.
Fang Yan had no expression on his face and asked, "Where is my grandpa?"
The young policeman told him about Mr. Fang's situation.
Fang Yan's expression finally changed when he heard this. He asked in disbelief, "My grandfather... is seriously ill?"
The young policeman thought he couldn't accept it, so he nodded and said nothing more: "Hurry up and put on your clothes. I'll take you there."
Fang Yan's mental state was not good, so the police kept a close watch on him.
Although the police asked Fang Yan to put on his clothes, they had no intention of leaving.
Fang Yan's heart was beating like a drum.
Mr. Fang is critically ill.
His grandfather is dying?
Fang Yan couldn't help it, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, revealing an extremely bright smile.
Very good.
That’s great!
Since Mr. Fang is about to die, can his heart be given to me?
He is now under custody and has no chance to contact Ye Chaoran again, but it is different with Grandpa Fang, he can still go to see Grandpa Fang!
As long as I have Mr. Fang's heart, I will definitely survive!
But now the question is, how can I dig out his heart?
There was a flash of madness and excitement in Fang Yan's eyes.
"Are you okay?" the policeman asked again.
Fang Yan got off the bed, put on his clothes casually, tried to hide the excitement on his face, nodded and said, "Okay."
The police took Fang Yan and drove to the hospital where Mr. and Mrs. Fang were staying.
Old Mrs. Fang had woken up by now, and when she saw Fang Yan, her tears welled up again.
"Yanyan...my dear Yanyan!"
Old Madam Fang reached out to hug Fang Yan in her arms, but she couldn't even sit up. She could only reach out her hand weakly, trying to touch Fang Yan.
Fang Yan stood beside the bed, looking down at Old Mrs. Fang coldly. There was no expression on his face, or it could be said that he was indifferent.
Old Mrs. Fang was so sad that she didn't notice the abnormality in Fang Yan's expression at all. She even held his hand and said a lot of irrelevant things.
"Don't be afraid, Yanyan. You still have your brother. When he comes back, he will definitely find a way to let you out. Grandpa and grandma may not be able to go out, but it doesn't matter..."
"As long as you and your brother are fine, grandpa and grandma will be at ease..."
"Good boy, go see your grandpa..."
Fang Yan was waiting for this sentence. Upon hearing it, he immediately shook off Old Lady Fang's hand and said, "Then I'll go see Grandpa."
Old Mrs. Fang thought he was worried about Old Man Fang, so she didn't doubt him and just nodded with tears in her eyes.
Watching Fang Yan's receding figure, Old Mrs. Fang's tears fell even more violently.
Today is such a bad day.
She first met Mr. Fang for the last time, and then met Yanyan for the last time.
When she thought that they would never see each other again after today, Mrs. Fang cried even harder.
Fang Yan, however, was not aware of Mrs. Fang's grief at all. He walked out of the ward with a happy look on his face and said to the police, "Go see my grandfather."
The policeman saw that he looked happy and was a little puzzled: "Are you happy?"
Fang Yan repeated: "Look at Grandpa."
The policeman thought that Fang Yan might have had another attack, so he sighed in his heart and said nothing more.
After taking Fang Yan to the ward, the police were still a little worried and did not plan to close the door.
However, Fang Yan reached out and closed the door himself. When the police were about to stop him, they saw Fang Yan looking at the police with tears in his eyes.
The police remained silent for two seconds and then did not try to stop him.
Fang Yan closed the door and finally smiled with relief.
Old Man Fang on the hospital bed didn't wake up at all. He closed his eyes tightly and looked like he was asleep.
Fang Yan walked quickly to the bedside and excitedly gestured at Old Man Fang with his hands.
"Since you're asleep, you won't be afraid of pain, so there's no need for anesthesia!" Fang Yan's eyes were full of excitement. "There's no time to lose, let's start now, but...how do I take your heart out?"
Fang Yan looked at the instruments on Old Man Fang and felt troubled.
He walked around the ward and finally found a large gap in the glass window of the bathroom.
yes!
Just glass!
Stab into Mr. Fang's heart and carefully dig out the heart...
The smile on Fang Yan's lips grew wider. He closed the bathroom door, mopped the floor carefully, and broke a piece of glass.
The sharp glass cut his palm and he felt pain, but Fang Yan didn't care at all.
Blood dripped from his palm onto the ground, but Fang Yan felt strangely satisfied.
"Grandpa, I think you are willing to do this, right? Use your heart in exchange for my continued health."
"Grandpa, don't blame me. It's all your fault. You promised me something at the beginning, but now you regret it. What are you regretting? If you didn't regret it, I wouldn't have thought of using your heart!"
Fang Yan held two pieces of glass in his hands. He gestured to his heart while finding Old Man Fang's chest.
“How about we do it together? Johnson said that once the heart is taken out of the body, it is difficult to preserve it. So while taking your heart, I also want to take my heart…” Fang Yan murmured in a low voice, as if to encourage himself, “I want to do it as quickly as possible, as quickly as possible, so that it won’t hurt. Grandpa won’t feel any pain, and Yanyan won’t feel any pain either…”
The two pieces of glass flashed coldly, and the sharp glass pierced the chests of the two men at the same time.
…
"Do you still need to take a statement today?" Jiang Xunmo's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Ye Chaoran sighed and nodded: "I have to go once more, but I heard that today should be the last time, and I don't need to go again. But I guess I have to go and see it during the trial."
"The trial will be in a few months." Jiang Xunmo said.
Ye Chaoran smiled: "Yes."
I can finally relax.
Thinking of this, Ye Chaoran felt extremely comfortable. He lay down on the bed, thinking about the appointment with Jiang Xunmo to go to A University, but he hadn't gone yet, so he couldn't help but ask: "By the way, do you have time tomorrow?"
Jiang Xunmo: “Hmm?”
Ye Chaoran pursed his lips, feeling a little nervous and expectant, and whispered: "Didn't I tell you before that I want to go to University A for a stroll. After the recording is finished, my parents will probably go back, and I have to go with them. If I don't go now, I might not have time..."
Jiang Xunmo was silent after hearing this.
Ye Chaoran invited him, and he shouldn't refuse anything.
But Jiang Xunmo thought that he had not yet settled the score with Ye Chaoran. If he agreed to go out with Ye Chaoran now, how would he settle the score with Ye Chaoran later?
Ye Chaoran waited quietly for several seconds, but there was no answer from Jiang Xunmo, and his heart ached.
Will Jiang Xunmo have something to do tomorrow? That's why he didn't agree to me right away.
That must be the case.
After Ye Chaoran finished comforting himself, he spoke again: "Are you busy tomorrow? It's okay, if you don't have time, forget it..."
Before Ye Chaoran could finish his words, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside.
"Ranran?" Song Ya's voice was full of anxiety.
Ye Chaoran felt inexplicably guilty and quickly turned off his phone, forgetting for a moment that he should hang up.
"What's wrong, Mom?" Ye Chaoran stood up and touched the tip of his nose guiltily.
Song Ya's face was very ugly. She looked at Ye Chaoran and hesitated for a while. She decided to speak: "Fang Yan...he passed away."
The sound was like thunder, and Ye Chaoran was stunned on the spot for a moment.
The author has something to say:
The fate of the other members of the Fang family will be explained later, but they won’t have too many scenes~
