The voice was extremely powerful and carried an overbearing aura, clearly belonging to someone in a high position who wielded great power!
"who?!"
"Who spoke?!"
As soon as he questioned Ye Chen, someone immediately retorted. Ye Huaicang felt that his authority had been challenged, so he turned his head sharply in the direction of the voice and shouted a rebuke.
Not only Ye Huaicang, but everyone present looked over curiously, all wanting to know who this person who dared to directly confront Ye Huaicang was.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a series of footsteps approached, followed by a middle-aged man with an imposing presence leading a group of his subordinates into the room.
Upon seeing the middle-aged man's face, Ye Huaicang was completely embarrassed, and the others present exchanged bewildered glances.
It was him?!
What brings this big shot here?!
Everyone was extremely surprised.
The newcomer was none other than Qin Yanfeng, the head of the Qin family, the second most powerful family in Beijing, and the third most important figure in the capital!
"Patriarch Qin, you..................."
Ye Huaicang spoke up, wanting to ask Qin Yanfeng what he meant.
However, Qin Yanfeng seemed not to hear him and completely ignored Ye Huaicang.
"Patriarch Qin......................"
Upon seeing Qin Yanfeng, Ye Chen nodded.
"Mr. Ye."
Qin Yanfeng took the initiative to come over and shake hands with Ye Chen. The two had already talked when he visited the Qin family before.
"Mr. Ye..."
After shaking hands with Ye Chen, Qin Yanfeng took the initiative to greet Ye Chen's grandfather, Ye Huaimin. Throughout the entire conversation, Qin Yanfeng did not say a word to Ye Huaicang.
After exchanging greetings, Qin Yanfeng stood beside Ye Chen and looked at everyone:
"Our Qin family has always supported orthodoxy, and we recognize Elder Ye Huaimin as the head of the Ye family. Usurpers like Ye Huaicang must be severely punished!!!"
In front of everyone, Qin Yanfeng announced his support for Ye Chen.
Now, besides the Zhu and Cao families, Ye Chen also has the support of the Qin family, the second largest wealthy family in the capital, instantly surpassing Ye Huaicang's side in strength!
"Wow, the Qin family has actually publicly taken sides."
"Ye Huaicang is finished now."
"With the Qin family's support, Ye Huaicang's faction is finished..."
Everyone sighed with emotion. At first, they thought that with the support of the Jiang family and the Yunxiao Chamber of Commerce, Ye Huaicang would be able to secure his position as the head of the Ye family. They never expected things to turn out this way, with Ye Huaicang now in a weaker position.
On Ye Huaicang's side, the Jiang family and the Yunxiao Chamber of Commerce were all embarrassed and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Ye Huaicang and his chosen successor Ye Changhao were ashen-faced. With the Qin family's support, Ye Chen's side had truly lost.
"Patriarch Qin, I think you should reconsider. How about this: whatever Ye Chen gave you, whatever conditions he promised you, we'll give you double, in exchange for you not participating in today's events?"
Ye Huaicang spoke up, wanting to try to keep the Qin family neutral, and he was willing to pay any price for it.
"Heh, stop dreaming..."
Qin Yanfeng sneered. This decision was made by his father, and even he couldn't change it.
Let alone double Ye Huaicang's offer, even if it were ten times, Father probably wouldn't change his mind and would still support Ye Chen. Father is very optimistic about Ye Chen's future and wants to befriend him now.
"Ye Huaicang, do you still think you have many supporters and are very powerful?"
Ye Chen asked coldly.
At this point, Ye Chen had only revealed some of his supporters; he hadn't even shown his true strength yet, and Ye Huaicang's side was already finished.
Wasn't Ye Huaicang very arrogant and conceited just now? How come he's like this now?!
Ye Huaicang was speechless after Ye Chen's question. With the support of the Qin family, he really had no advantage at all.
"Father, am I right?"
"The Cao family," Cao Bailu said to her father.
"Yes, the Qin family really does support Ye Chen."
Cao Ningzu nodded; this time, his decision was correct.
"Um, our Yunxiao Chamber of Commerce is canceling our cooperation with Ye Huaicang. We will no longer participate in the Ye family's internal affairs!!!"
The president of the Yunxiao Chamber of Commerce stood up and immediately distanced himself from Ye Huaicang, fearing that he would offend Ye Chen and the Qin family.
"Our Jiang family will also remain neutral. This is a matter for the Ye family, and we will not get involved."
Even the head of the Jiang family, disregarding his daughter's advice, publicly stopped supporting Ye Huaicang.
In an instant, Ye Huaicang became utterly alone, falling from the clouds into a bottomless abyss, his previous arrogance completely gone.
With Ye Huaicang's strength alone, he couldn't even compete with Ye Chen's supporters, let alone Ye Chen's.
Ye Huaicang's faction turned pale, their hearts filled with fear and despair.
They lost. They lost completely.
Ye Chen wins!!!
The next second, in front of everyone, Ye Chen strode forward and walked directly toward the seal placed at the front, which symbolized the position of the head of the Ye family.
"slow!!!"
But before Ye Chen could get close to the seal, someone suddenly stepped forward.
This time, it was Ye Huairong who stepped forward, having been watching the show all along. At this moment, Ye Huairong really couldn't sit still any longer.
At first, Ye Huairong hoped that Ye Chen and Ye Huaicang's factions would suffer heavy losses, but to his utter surprise, Ye Chen completely overwhelmed Ye Huaicang, leaving him no room to resist.
Seeing that Ye Chen was about to obtain the seal symbolizing the position of head of the Ye family, Ye Huairong could no longer sit still.
Now that things have come to this, Ye Huairong is no longer pretending; he's ready to use his biggest trump card!
With this powerful trump card, Ye Huairong was absolutely confident that he could crush Ye Chen. So what if Ye Chen had the support of the Qin family?!
The position of head of the Ye family will still belong to Ye Huairong!
"The position of head of the Ye family should be held by the most capable person. My eldest brother, Ye Huaicang, is too ruthless and unsuitable, and my third brother, Ye Huaimin, is too kind and unsuitable as well."
"Therefore, I should be the new head of the Ye family!!!"
Because he was very close to the Ye family patriarch's seal, Ye Huairong said, then suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the seal that symbolized the position of the Ye family patriarch.
Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded. What was going on? What was happening?!
Just now, Ye Huaicang and Ye Huaimin were fighting over it. The outcome was already decided, and Ye Huaimin had already won. So why did Ye Huairong, the second master of the Ye family, also step forward?
Moreover, Ye Chen already has the support of the Qin family, the second largest wealthy family in Beijing. Why would Ye Huairong dare to compete with Ye Chen?
Everyone was utterly baffled. Had Ye Huairong lost his mind?!
Holding the Ye family patriarch's seal, Ye Huairong looked at everyone present.
"action!!!"
Ye Huaicang said loudly.
The next second, a scene that left countless guests speechless unfolded!
