"The Ye family has ended up in this predicament, and I don't know who to blame."
Ye Chu looked at the unconscious Old Master Ye and gave a bitter smile.
"Regardless of whose fault it is, the most important thing for us now is to look forward. I don't think you can do anything in your current state. Lin Xuanxiao and the others have also suffered heavy losses, so you can take this time to rest and recuperate."
"I'll hand over the business over there to someone else to look after," Ye Chu said without trying to force himself to stay silent.
“After this incident, the Xie family will definitely find an opportunity to do something, so you all need to be careful when you do things outside.”
Ye Chu asked again, adding a sentence.
She reminded Sheng Qian that the Xie family had a history of conflict with them.
"They just want to reap the benefits without lifting a finger, but Yan Shuze probably won't let them have their way."
Sheng Qian understood Yan Shuze.
Sheng Qian was right.
That evening, Yan Shuze had someone invite Xie Wei, the head of the Xie family, over. When Xie Wei saw Yan Shuze's injury, he merely raised an eyebrow.
They had all heard about the conflict between Yan Shuze and Long Yunting.
It seems that neither side has been pleased.
The Xie family gained a new understanding of Long Yunting's capabilities.
Even the Xie family wouldn't dare to easily mess with someone like that.
It's more worthwhile to sit back and reap the benefits.
Yan Shuze knew what Xie Wei and the others were thinking, so he despised such people in his heart.
Want to reap the benefits without lifting a finger? They'll have to see if Yan Shuze will give them that opportunity.
"Patriarch Xie has also heard about what happened these past two days. I have completely severed ties with the second young master of the Long family, and things will probably not be easy for me in the future. Since the Xie family is a partner of my Yan family, shouldn't they step in and do something?"
Yan Shuze said slowly,
Xie Wei raised an eyebrow. "Patriarch Yan, our Xie family had intended to form a marriage alliance with the Yan family before, but the connection between the two families is somewhat shallow. The person my son wanted to marry is not meant to be with him, so we had to give up on this matter."
This means that if the two families do not successfully form a marriage alliance, they should not even mention cooperation.
Cooperation depends on the circumstances.
At this point, Xie Wei wouldn't be foolish enough to get involved with the other party.
Let them fight each other to the death, and the Xie family can then profit from it. Wouldn't that be better?
Why suffer this loss?
Xie Wei had a beautiful dream, but Yan Shuze shattered it in the next second.
"Has Patriarch Xie forgotten what happened before? The Yan family and the Xie family have long been bound together. Last night, when Young Master Long asked me about it, he accidentally let slip that the Xie family was one of the masterminds behind it all. Do you think Long Yunting will let the Xie family off the hook? Patriarch Xie, don't forget the lesson from Xiaofeng. It was Long Yunting himself who did it."
Xie Wei's face instantly darkened.
He glared at Yan Shuze through gritted teeth: "You deliberately framed the Xie family."
"What Patriarch Xie says is incorrect. How could I deliberately frame the Xie family? It was the Xie family that started the fight. It is we, the aristocratic families of Haicheng, who should be implicated by the Xie family. If the Yan family thinks this way, other aristocratic families will think the same way. Does Patriarch Xie think he can remain uninvolved?"
“Long Yunting has targeted our Yan family first, and your Xie family will be next. Don’t forget your grudges with Sheng Qian. Given the relationship between Long Yunting and Sheng Qian, he cannot let your Xie family off the hook.”
Upon hearing these words, Xie Wei's face turned as black as charcoal.
"Yan Shuze, did you do something behind this?" Although what he said was true, Xie Wei felt that Yan Shuze must have done something else to cause an even bigger misunderstanding.
Yan Shuze looked at Xie Wei with a half-smile, but didn't say anything.
This made Xie Wei's heart jump into his throat. "Good, you're really something. The Xie family will remember this."
Xie Wei returned to the Xie family in a rage, and Xie Zhuoxiao and the others surrounded him. "Dad, what did that Yan guy say?"
"What else could it be but trying to drag our Xie family down with them?" Xie Wei gritted his teeth and repeated Yan Shuze's words to everyone. The Xie family members looked extremely ugly upon hearing this.
"What should we do now? We can't just sit and wait. Are we supposed to launch the attack first? Could this be a conspiracy by the Yan family?"
"Whether it's a conspiracy by the man surnamed Yan or not, what he said is true. Our Xie family and Sheng Qian have a long-standing feud that can't be resolved."
"This means that we should strike first."
"Long Yunting single-handedly thwarted the Yan family's grand plan and even instilled fear in everyone. Can our Xie family really bring Long Yunting down with our strength?"
The Xie family members started discussing it, one after another.
The final result is that you have to strike first to gain the upper hand!
They will take back what has been taken from them now.
Everyone agreed, and they immediately took action the next day.
Sheng Qian heard that the Xie family had made a move, wanting to take back the business she had worked so hard to get from them.
That same day, Sheng Qian led her people to intercept them, and the two sides had a disagreement and a conflict broke out on the spot.
However, this conflict came and went quickly.
Sheng Qian's equipment was so strong that the Xie family couldn't withstand it at all and could only flee in a sorry state.
Song Wei came over to help Sheng Qian manage the business here, and couldn't help but sneer when he saw the Xie family's cowardly behavior.
Sheng Qian also felt disdain for the Xie family's behavior.
Knowing full well that they can't win, yet still choosing to fight head-on, I don't know whether to praise their courage or mock their foolishness.
The Xie family's campaign was unsuccessful this time, and Xie Wei held another meeting after returning home.
If they can't do it openly, they'll resort to covert methods.
The operation that night ended in an even worse fate.
Upon hearing about the Xie family's actions, Yan Shuze sneered, "A bunch of fools. I don't know how the Xie family has survived to this day."
The assistant beside him remained silent.
Yan Shuze asked, "How is Lin Xuanxiao doing?"
The assistant said, "Boss Lin wants to leave Haicheng. Ye Yingjie's injuries are serious, and he needs to go abroad for treatment."
"Lin Xuanxiao wanted to run away."
"They probably want to avoid the conflicts in Haicheng."
Yan Shuze sneered repeatedly, "That depends on whether he has the ability to escape."
Once you're on Yan Shuze's ship, is it possible to get off without paying anything in return?
The assistant fell silent.
*
When Sheng Mu learned what had happened here, he called Sheng Qian several times, and Sheng Qian asked them not to do anything rash.
Once something is done, it could involve even more people.
Sheng Mu and his group didn't get involved, but they were prepared behind the scenes to join forces if Sheng Qian did anything wrong.
That night.
Ye Chu called to say that Old Master Ye had woken up and was in good spirits.
However, Ye Chuwen showed no joy whatsoever; Ye Lao's condition seemed no different from a final burst of energy before death.
Sheng Qian immediately set off for the Ye family.
With Long Yunting by their side, the two hurriedly entered the Ye family's gate. Song Wei then led them into the front room, where they could hear Ye Chuwen and Old Master Ye talking.
When Old Master Ye saw Sheng Qian, his eyes seemed to brighten even more.
"You've arrived."
"Elder Ye."
Upon seeing Elder Ye, Sheng Qian knew that Elder Ye's time was up.
