Zhou Yuxuan was immediately confused. "Second brother, this is medicine to cure diseases and save lives."
How can we let our achievements go to waste because of personal grudges?
He absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen, especially when he was in the know.
Ye Mohan's expression remained unchanged, and he coldly said, "Haven't you heard the story of 'openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang'?"
Zhou Yuxuan was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and said, "I understand, Second Brother."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Mohan called Lin Yi again before entering the villa.
...
Meanwhile, at the Huangfu family villa.
In the study, Huangfu Ming sat in his seat, talking on the phone with someone.
"It's already being processed, and we should have a result soon," Huangfu Ming said indifferently.
A slightly aged voice rang out from the other end.
"That's good. Make sure things go smoothly."
Huangfu Ming said calmly, "Of course. I am very clear about our cooperative relationship. It is mutually beneficial and we each get what we need. In addition, you can also take action on your side to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Immediately, a hearty, deep laugh came from the other end of the phone.
"Well, you don't need to worry about me. I'll handle it. Congratulations on our successful cooperation; we both got what we needed."
...
The next day.
Zhou Yuxuan arrived at the company with two large dark circles under his eyes, and to avoid being recognized, he specially wore sunglasses to cover them up.
Along the way, everyone turned to look at them.
Having finally arrived at his office, his assistant, seeing his state, couldn't help but ask with concern, "President, what happened to you?"
You got beaten up?
But who in Beijing would dare to beat up the CEO?
You should know that the president has a life-or-death relationship with the head of the Ye Group, the most powerful family in the capital.
Who's so reckless!
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuxuan glared at his assistant, annoyed. "Why don't you usually show me this much concern?"
The assistant was taken aback, then quickly said, "What are you saying, President? I have always been concerned about you."
Zhou Yuxuan took off his sunglasses and said, "Oh, how come I didn't notice?"
The assistant had been watching Zhou Yuxuan the whole time. As soon as he took off his sunglasses, he immediately saw Zhou Yuxuan's dark circles and understood what was going on.
"President, you are truly loyal to me."
"President, are you wearing sunglasses because you stayed up late last night?"
Zhou Yuxuan gave him an annoyed look. "Otherwise what? What did you think it was?"
The assistant immediately fell silent.
After a moment, he had an idea and said, "President, I'll go and prepare some coffee for you right away."
Zhou Yuxuan hummed in agreement and nodded.
The assistant immediately fled the office as if fleeing.
Zhou Yuxuan sat in the chair, and seeing that the door was closed, he took out a mirror from the drawer next to him and looked at himself, muttering to himself, "Is it really that obvious? I have to ask my second brother for beauty treatment fees."
Because of his second brother's advice to "openly repair the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass," he went to the drug production factory below the laboratory under the cover of darkness last night. In order not to be discovered, he went secretly and did not call anyone else.
When he left the factory, it was already 3 a.m. He rushed home without stopping, and by the time he was ready to go to sleep it was almost 5 a.m.
So much so that he went out this morning with huge dark circles under his eyes.
The assistant leaves quickly, but also returns quickly.
The coffee was brought in quickly.
Before Zhou Yuxuan could give any instructions, he ran out as fast as a rabbit.
...
The capital city, a prison.
"Ye Wenyao, someone wants to see you."
The prison guard spoke to the people inside through the iron bars.
The man inside, who was passing the time by reading a book, fluttered his long, curled eyelashes and murmured, "Who?"
The prison guard looked around, then leaned closer to the iron bars and said something.
Ye Wenyao's eyes flickered, then he closed the book.
...
A dozen minutes later.
The door to the visiting room opened, and a prison guard led Ye Wenyao in, who was handcuffed.
Ye Wenyao looked through the transparent glass and saw the people outside, then his brows furrowed slightly.
The prison guard kept him in the room and said, "You have ten minutes. Say what you have to say quickly."
Then, considerately, he closed the door and left.
Separated by the glass, Ye Wenyao sat down opposite him.
Looking at the old man in front of him, who was about the same age as his father, he was very puzzled.
The old man seemed to know Ye Wenyao's question and gestured for him to pick up the phone.
Ye Wenyao was very puzzled, and at the same time, he also wanted to know the purpose of the message that the old man had relayed to him.
Without hesitation, I answered the call.
Ye Wenyao asked somewhat warily, "Who are you?"
Soon, the old man's weathered and deep voice rang out.
"Who I am is not important; what matters is that I can help you get out of here."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wenyao's eyes flickered.
Over the years, his confidant Ye Song tried countless times to help him leave, whether it was openly hiring a lawyer, faking illness to get bail, or secretly trying to escape from prison. Each time, he was discovered, which is why he hasn't seen the sunlight outside for many years.
So when the prison guard told him, "That man said he would be your friend and he would fulfill your long-held wish," he did not hesitate to come out and meet him.
The old man continued, "I can even help you get the Ye family's property, which you've always wanted."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wenyao's gaze suddenly turned to the old man.
"Who are you, and why are you helping me?"
His years in prison successfully helped him mature a lot.
He is no longer the person who could be controlled by anger.
Clearly, he didn't believe anyone would be kind to him for no reason.
The old man didn't answer directly, but just smiled and said, "I didn't help you because we have a common enemy."
A common enemy?
Ye Wenyao suddenly realized something, his expression changed, and he said, "Your enemy is..."
The old man smiled and nodded, saying, "I see through it, but I won't say it."
"I can give you time to think it over, but it won't be long. If you miss this opportunity, it won't be so easy for you to get out later."
As long as the Ye family is around, you will never have a chance to rise in the world.
"And I, even without you, can achieve my goal. It's just that your involvement gives me an extra layer of assurance."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wenyao's expression remained unchanged, but his mind was racing.
He knew that the mysterious old man in front of him was telling the truth.
As long as the Ye family remains in Ye Mohan's hands, he will never have a chance to leave.
Don't think he doesn't know that Ye Song tried so many methods before, but he still couldn't get him out.
A major reason for this was that Ye Mohan was preventing him from going out.
After a moment of silence, Ye Wenyao slowly raised his head to look at the old man and said, "I can choose to cooperate with you, but how can I trust you?"
