Hearing Ye Zhengyang's words, even Ye Zhengshan, the eldest brother, couldn't help but laugh:
"Hey bro, are you scared out of your wits? How are you going to manage all by yourself, without the Ye family's help?"
"You went there all by yourself and wiped out the 14K?"
"If you have that ability, then I won't say anything more and will just hand over the position of head of the Ye family to you! I won't compete with you for the next head of the family."
"But if you can't resolve this, then you should withdraw voluntarily. The Ye family won't die with you!"
Ye Zhengshan's words quickly gained the approval of many in the Ye family, but also the opposition of many others.
"Ye Zhengshan, if Brother Zhengyang says there's a solution, then there definitely is! When did it become your place to shout like that? Are you the head of the family now? You're talking about stepping down! Who do you think you are? Do you really think you're something special?"
"Let me tell you, I, Ye Zifeng, will absolutely not accept you as the head of the family. I'll be the first to object!"
Ye Zifeng, also a robust man just over thirty, naturally belonged to Ye Zhengyang's lineage. He had always been Ye Zhengyang's follower, regarding Ye Zhengyang as his idol.
Ye Zifeng has also achieved considerable success within the Ye family, managing numerous family affairs and wielding significant influence.
They were among the most outstanding members of the second generation of the Ye family, yet they were now arguing endlessly because of the trouble caused by Ye Zhengyang.
At this moment, an elderly man sitting in the main seat of the Ye family slammed his hand heavily on the table:
"Enough! Look at the state you've become! You've made such a big fuss over such a small matter, you have no sense of responsibility at all!"
"Look at your naive and unsophisticated appearance, I'm ashamed of you. What's the big deal? It's just the 14K, isn't it?"
"Our Ye family is truly not afraid!"
"However, Zhengyang, this matter started because of you, and originally it really didn't have much to do with the family. But as a member of the Ye family, the family certainly won't ignore you."
"Alright, let's consider this a test for you. If you can resolve this matter without using the power of the family, then I'll make you a promise: as long as you don't make any major mistakes, you will be the next head of the Ye family!"
"But if you can't resolve this matter and ultimately need the family's help, then you won't be the next head of the family."
What do you think?
The old man speaking at this moment is none other than Ye Zhong, the current head of the Ye family!
During his tenure as head of the family, the old man led the Ye family quite well. The Ye family has transformed from a third-rate family into a first-rate family with a growing momentum.
Among the wealthy families in the port city, they are already well-known and are gradually gaining momentum.
Therefore, having the support of the Ye family as a whole will definitely be of great help in the future, which is Ye Zhengyang's main purpose in returning to Gangcheng.
He has already established a foothold abroad, but he also wants to use Hong Kong as a base to expand into the East.
He already had his own spies in the East and knew that the East would soon make some policy adjustments, which would definitely lead to a period of rapid development.
Entering the East as soon as possible could bring them tremendous opportunities.
Even though he had built up his empire abroad and had some connections with the East, it would still be difficult for him to openly and legitimately enter the East.
This is because he and Luo Qingyan have some unresolved historical issues.
Therefore, Ye Zhengyang's most important goal right now is to rush into the Eastern Gate as the head of the Ye family.
After all, it would be more convenient and convincing for them to go back to find their daughter only if things developed well in the East.
At this moment, Luo Zixi is very important to Ye Zhengyang and his wife. She is their only child and is also related to their future plans.
Therefore, there is a reason why they are now trying to achieve their goals step by step.
Now that such a huge change has suddenly occurred, Ye Zhengyang naturally cannot back down in the slightest!
Upon hearing Ye Zhong's proposed solution, Ye Zhengyang felt that what was originally a troublesome matter had now become an opportunity.
He immediately responded with a smile:
"Second Master, I think what you're saying is feasible! I agree, but we also need to see if my brother Zhengshan agrees. What if he goes back on his word?"
At this moment, Ye Zhengshan couldn't help but turn his gaze to Ye Zhong, who was his father and would definitely take special care of him in every way.
Ye Zhong naturally wanted to pass the position of family head to Ye Zhengshan.
However, he did not actually obtain the position of family head legitimately. The original family head was Ye Zhengyang's father, but Ye Zhengyang had to leave Hong Kong for various reasons. During his absence, his father fell seriously ill and had no choice but to pass the position of family head to his younger brother, Ye Zhong.
Ye Zhong had promised his elder brother that when Ye Zhengyang returned, he would return the position of family head to their lineage.
But how could he so easily give back the position and power he had worked so hard for?
Ye Zhong regretted his decision, but he couldn't do it openly. In private, he did his best to support his son Ye Zhengshan and secretly suppressed Ye Zhengyang.
Unfortunately, Ye Zhengyang was exceptionally capable and returned with a massive amount of funds, which quickly garnered the support of many elders in the family.
Ye Zhong was all smiles on the surface, but inside he was cursing! He had long wanted to find ways to get rid of Ye Zhengyang.
Now, by sheer bad luck, Ye Zhengyang has gotten himself into trouble, and he can use this as a pretext to get back at Ye Zhengyang!
At this moment, facing his son's questioning gaze, he simply nodded slightly, indicating that his son should agree.
Seeing his father's meaningful glance, Ye Zhengshan immediately understood, and then pretended to be bold and said:
"Alright, I agree to this as well, and I will never go back on my word! Ye Zhengyang, don't worry, as long as you can resolve this matter on your own without relying on the family's influence, the position of the next family head will be yours, and I will voluntarily step down!"
Hearing the words of the father and son, Ye Zhengyang couldn't help but smile with a sense of certainty:
"Very well, you yourselves said it! Now, all the elders are witnesses."
"Then I'll handle the rest. You don't need to worry about it; just wait and see the results!"
"Everyone here today is here because they're afraid of getting into trouble, right? Please rest assured, I, Ye Zhengyang, will take full responsibility for my actions and will not implicate my family!"
"However, you all better remember your promises. Don't go back on your word after I've dealt with the other party. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Ye Zhengyang's expression turned cold, and after uttering his last harsh words, he turned and left!
At this moment, everyone present couldn't help but look at each other, wondering how Ye Zhengyang would ultimately resolve all of this...
