That's why I'm so heartbroken.
You've worked so hard and endured so much hardship to get to where you are today.
Young master, are you really willing to accept this?
Of course, I was willing to accept it. If I wasn't willing, why would I make this choice with no way out?
Ye Yutang silently stepped forward and lit an incense stick. The two black and white photos of a man and a woman looked exceptionally well-matched under the light.
Having reached his current position, how could Chief of Staff Ye not understand what the old steward meant by just now?
The Ye family truly owes the Tang family!
Now, the Ye family and the Tang family are entangled in a complicated situation.
The old butler slowly withdrew from the mourning hall, but upon closer inspection, his hunched body seemed even more bent.
It was as if something invisible was pressing heavily on the old man.
......
Ye Yutang stood in the mourning hall for a long time before slightly moving his arm. A guard outside knocked on the door.
"Commander, Commander Gu has arrived."
Gu Beiwang had returned to the Gu family mansion before, since the old man was not around and there were many things that Gu Beiwang needed to handle.
To my surprise, I received such heartbreaking news.
"Yutang, this..."
Gu Beiwang had already arrived at the door, looking travel-worn and clearly having rushed over.
Ye Yutang waved to the guard, who quickly retreated to the back.
Looking at the face in the photo that was almost identical to his friend from back then, Gu Beiwang pursed his lips, his expression filled with indescribable sorrow.
"Let's light some incense for this kid," Ye Yutang's voice rang out calmly.
Gu Beiwang nodded. Actually, according to custom, elders don't need to offer incense to younger generations.
It is evident that the younger generation of the four major families had a very good relationship back then.
After offering incense, Gu Beiwang sighed deeply before asking:
"What exactly happened? How...how did the person disappear?"
"Suicide."
suicide?
Upon hearing this answer, Commander Gu frowned deeply: "Why? Hasn't this kid been holding back his desire for revenge all along?"
Ye Yutang gave a self-deprecating smile: "Yes, but how can a person possibly overcome the seven emotions and six desires?"
Seven emotions and six desires?
With this answer... and the two black-and-white photos of a man and a woman hanging on the wall in front of him, what else could Gu Beiwang not understand?
The sigh rang out again.
The two high-ranking military officers fell silent at that moment.
Only after being urged again by the guards did the two leave the Tang family villa.
Beside the car.
The two bigwigs didn't get into the car; each held a lit cigarette in their hand, taking a puff every now and then.
"Have you taken care of everything in your family?" Gu Beiwang asked.
Ye Yutang nodded: "Mm."
Hearing this, Gu Beiwang looked relieved: "That's good, but we still need to keep an eye on things and make sure nothing gets leaked."
In Kyoto, countless families are waiting to see the four great clans make a fool of themselves!
Gu Beiwang was aware of this, and Ye Yutang was naturally aware of it as well.
"The Ye family won't leak the news. As for the other side, we'll see how smart they are."
Anyone with common sense can see who will be most affected by the leak.
When do we set off for Province S?
Ye Yutang paused for a moment, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the Tang family villa not far away:
"Let's do it tomorrow morning. Let them have a proper New Year's Eve tonight."
The matter concerning the Tang family should be kept secret for now.
"Okay, I might not be able to take you then. Be careful on the road."
"It's alright, don't worry about me. No one would dare to do anything to me openly, right?"
