"Kids, how did you break in? Confess!"
The tall man reprimanded Ye Chen.
Upon hearing this, old Wittelsbach and his friends, who were walking towards Ye Chen in the distance, immediately stopped in their tracks.
The tall man's grandfather, a thin old man, almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
He had just boasted to old Wittelsbach and the others about how discerning his grandson was. And then...
The gaunt old man was furious.
That bastard.
asshole!!!
The people around the gaunt old man wore gloating expressions. Serves you right for showing off earlier. You've been screwed over, haven't you?
What can your grandson, who's all brawn and no brain, possibly accomplish?
Old Wittelsbach was stunned for a moment, then immediately walked towards Ye Chen.
On the other side, Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang were stunned after hearing what the tall man had said.
Ye Chen was especially surprised; being reprimanded in his own castle was something he never expected.
"You have thirty seconds to get to me from here..."
The tall man still wanted to order Ye Chen around.
However, he was stopped halfway through his sentence by the arrival of old Wittelsbach.
"Hello, Mr. Ye."
Old Wittelsbach stepped forward and politely shook hands with Ye Chen.
Upon seeing this, the tall man's eyes widened instantly, and he was completely dumbfounded.
What's going on?!
Grandpa Wittelsbach knows this kid, and he even came over to say hello?
"Who are you, sir?"
Ye Chen spoke.
"Oh, I'm Caroline's grandfather."
"Oh, it's Mr. Wittelsbach, hello..."
Ye Chen also politely shook hands with the old Wittelsbach.
“Grandpa Wittelsbach, he…”
The tall man couldn't help but speak up, unable to contain his curiosity.
"This Mr. Ye is the new owner of the Castle of Walleviconte."
The old Wittelsbach gave a serious reply.
"What? He...he...is...the new master of Wallevicont Castle... *gulp*"
The tall man was so frightened that his legs went weak.
Not only him, but several other young men and women also came over. They heard old Wittelsbach's words and learned Ye Chen's identity. They were equally shocked!
It seems the tall man's analysis was completely wrong, while the brown-haired woman guessed correctly.
This man, roughly the same age as them, was actually that important figure from China—unbelievable, utterly unbelievable!
He's too young.
We're all around the same age. While I'm still living off my parents and relying on them, they've already been able to buy Vallée-Vicomte Castle.
The differences between people are just too great.
Looking at Ye Chen, a sense of inferiority rose in their hearts.
“Mr. Ye, my grandson has a real eye problem. I apologize on his behalf. I will take him to the ophthalmology hospital for a proper check-up tomorrow.”
The gaunt old man stepped forward, kicked his grandson, and then apologized to Ye Chen.
"Grandpa, I..." The tall man tried to defend himself.
"What do you mean, 'you'? Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Ye."
The gaunt old man, unable to contain his anger, kicked his grandson again.
The tall man, whose buttocks hurt from being kicked by his grandfather, quickly bowed to Ye Chen and apologized.
Ye Chen didn't speak; he had a very bad impression of the tall man.
"You will kneel here and you are not allowed to stand up without Mr. Ye's permission."
The gaunt old man ordered his grandson. He could understand Ye Chen's feelings; after all, being misunderstood in his own home was infuriating.
The tall man obeyed his grandfather's order and immediately knelt down.
"Mr. Ye, I've specially invited a chef from a Michelin three-star restaurant to prepare dinner for you. Please..."
Old Wittelsbach invited Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang inside.
"Um."
Having finished touring the outside, Ye Chen nodded, and the group went together to the restaurant inside the castle.
As everyone ate and chatted, Ferdinand, a friend of old Wittelsbach, suddenly spoke up:
"Mr. Ye is also Chinese, and shares the same surname Ye. Do you know Ye Ruihao?"
Upon hearing this question, Ye Chen was about to shake his head and say he didn't know the person, but he suddenly froze.
"Ye Ruihao?"
Ye Chen muttered to himself, then suddenly remembered: wasn't Ye Ruihao the fifth son of Ye Huaicang, the current head of the Ye family in Beijing?!
Ye Chen had previously sent people to investigate the Ye family in the capital, which included basic information about the current important members of the Ye family.
As Ye Huaicang's biological son, Ye Ruihao was naturally among them.
How did Ferdinand, who lives all the way in Europe, know Ye Ruihao?!
"Mr. Ferdinand, is this Ye Ruihao you're talking about around fifty years old, about 1.78 meters tall, and on the heavier side?"
Ye Chen asked specifically, wanting to verify whether the Ye Ruihao that Ferdinand mentioned was the same person he was thinking of. After all, there are too many people with the same name, and what if there was a misunderstanding?
"Yes, it seems Mr. Ye knows him too."
Ferdinand gave an affirmative answer.
Ye Chen didn't offer much explanation; his relationship with the Ye family in Beijing was not something outsiders should know.
"I wonder how Mr. Ferdinand knows Ye Ruihao? Have they been in contact recently?"
Ye Chen began to probe for information.
"I only met him recently; Ye Ruihao contacted me a few days ago."
Ferdinand answered.
"Um?"
Ye Chen instantly grasped the key point: Ye Ruihao had met with Ferdinand just a few days ago, which meant that Ye Ruihao was also in Europe. Moreover, as the current head of the Ye family's son and a core member of the Ye family, anything he personally intervened in must be extremely important!
Perhaps I've accidentally learned some important news about the Ye family in the capital!
Ye Chen immediately asked Ferdinand what exactly Ye Ruihao had come for.
Upon hearing this question, Ferdinand hesitated; it involved trade secrets, and he couldn't very well reveal it.
“Let me tell you, Mr. Ye is one of us.”
Seeing that Ye Chen was interested, the gaunt old man immediately chimed in, speaking up for Ye Chen and trying to improve his relationship with him.
“Yes, that’s right, it’s alright,” old Wittelsbach chimed in.
"All right..........."
Seeing that his two old friends had spoken up for Ye Chen, Ferdinand no longer hesitated and told them the details.
