Chapter 179: Unt.i.tled
With an almost barbaric kick, Ye Chen kicked open the door to Yun Ruoxi’s ward. An air of cold anger surrounded him as he entered the ward. His gaze was extremely aggressive, seemingly was out to kill.
Yun Ruoxi and Old Master Yun were watching the news in the ward. GK International reported the ma.s.sive python and the bombed mansion incident at the fastest speed.
Once they saw Ye Chen arrive, Yun Ruoxi quickly turned off the television. She seemed pleasantly surprised, and her pale face was slightly flushed. “Ye Chen, are you here to see me?”
“Indeed. I am here to see you!” A cheesy gentleness came from Ye Chen’s cold voice. His devilish smile, however, inspired fear.
“I thought you were really not going to see me. Ye Chen, I am so happy to see you. You are still concerned for me, aren’t you?” Yun Ruoxi said amidst her pain and tears.
“Of course I do care about you!” Ye Chen slowly walked toward the bed with a cold face.
Old Master Yun thought the two would amend their relations.h.i.+ps and laughed charitably. “I will not disturb your private conversation then!” he stood up and said thoughtfully.
“Third Young Master Ye, Ruoxi has suffered immensely for you and was willing to give up her life for you. Please do not let her down or I will not spare you!” Old Master Yun tapped Ye Chen’s shoulder and spoke to him in a serious manner.
As he spoke, he pa.s.sed by Third Young Master Ye and was about to leave. A cold glare flashed past Third Young Master Ye as he grabbed Old Master Yun by the hand and threw him toward Yun Ruoxi. The slightly rotund Old Master Yun landed on Yun Ruoxi’s body and sent them into a tizzy. The two of them screamed as agonizing pain followed.
“Ye Chen, what are you doing?” Yun Ruoxi was beyond shock and helped Old Master Yun up. “Daddy, did it hurt?” she asked worryingly.
Ye Chen coldly looked at both father and daughter as, breaking into a sinister smile. “Not let me off again? It seems like you are unclear about what happened. Who is not letting who off? Yun Ying, Yun Ruoxi, you two must be disappointed, right?”
“Ye Chen, what are you saying?” Yun Ruoxi was slightly panicky. “I did not do anything… I…”
“Shut up!” Third Young Master Ye barked. “Suicide? If you were h.e.l.l-bent on suicide, why didn’t you slit a little deeper? Who are you putting up an act for? Do you think I care? If I was not here to settle the score with you, why did you think I would appear here? Given our six years together, I had tolerated the shenanigans your father pulled off behind the scenes. To write off those losses could be considered making up to you. Heck, you dare lay a finger on Anya? Digging your own grave, eh? Tell me, and I will fulfill that!”
“Third Young Master Ye, please do not accuse us of nothing! What did we do?” Old Master Yun vehemently denied. Yun Ruoxi was trembling like trees shedding their autumn leaves. She looked at the cold, brutal man in front of her unbelievably.
“Yes, you two did nothing. You just released a ma.s.sive python, yes, or no?” Third Young Master Ye laughed coldly.
Both father and daughter were shocked, and Ye Chen was in extreme anger. “You sure deserve to die!” he said coldly.
“No, Ye Chen. We did not do it. Do not malign me if you do not have proof. What ma.s.sive python? I have no clue at all.” Yun Ruoxi protested her innocence and her eyes reddened as she tried to explain to him.
Ye Chen found the spectacle unfolding before him even more disgusting!
“No proof? Do you think I am spouting nonsense? The name Huang Yunlong should ring a bell, right, Old Master Yun? Three years ago, the CEO of TR Corporation was bitten by a venomous snake and died as he was treated too late. The case was then ruled as an accident. Haha… Accident? Your methods were brilliant! Following the incident, the Yun Enterprise took over TR Corporation at twice the market price in a consolidated arbitrage. How brilliant!” Ye Chen coldly replied. “Well, if I expose the case, can you still sit here safely? And to think you dare to say you will not let me go… How overconfident of you!” Ye Chen laughed ironically and coldly.
“Ye Chen, I will sue you for slander!” Old Master Yun replied angrily.
“You want to call the cops on me? Do you even dare to?” Ye Chen took out his cellphone and laughed coldly.
Old Master Yun panicked and looked at Yun Ruoxi in shock. Yun Ruoxi was as shocked as well.
How did Ye Chen manage to dig out such an incident from yesterday’s event alone? He carried out the incident secretly and almost n.o.body knew. How did he know about it? Had Huang Yunlong been arrested?
Ye Chen was actually just probing him.
Given Huang Yunlong’s ident.i.ty, the death of TR Corporation’s CEO three years ago and its acquisition by the Yun Enterprise led Ye Chen to suspect whether Old Master Yun was behind the incident. With this slight probing, Old Master Yun’s face confirmed it all!
He was too sinister!
Rage rose up in Ye Chen’s heart as Ye Chen had looked up to the CEO of TR Corporation, who was a senior that had an extremely good reputation in the market. There were businessmen who were unscrupulous, and there were as many unscrupulous businessmen who drove families to ruin.
Such a devious ploy would only earn the hate of people!
“Don’t dare?” Ye Chen laughed coldly with a few hints of irony. “Now the plot repeats itself. To think you would dare to release a snake into my house! How many lives do you have for me to kill?”
“It seems like you already have the evidence!” Old Master Yun raised his head proudly without guilt. “Third Young Master Ye, what do you want? Calling the cops? Your father was also part of the incident revolving TR Corporation years ago. If I get arrested, so is he. Do you want to send him into prison as well?”
Ye Chen laughed out loud. That was another piece of insider information against his old man. “Do you think I care? Sending you both into prison, with each other for company, is a good deed for me.”
“You…”
“I must say, how could you be so stupid to dare to release such a huge python? If you had repeated the same plot three years old and released a venomous snake, Cheng Anya would have been dead. To release such a ma.s.sive python not only presented an oversized target but was also one that was very quickly taken out by her. Aren’t you foolish?” Third Young Master Ye mocked him. Fortunately for him, Old Master Yun was foolish enough for him not to lose Cheng Anya.
As he thought of this, a burning rage rose in Third Young Master Ye. The Yun Enterprise was going to fall!
Old Master Yun was utterly angered by the mockery of somebody decades younger than him. He had indeed miscalculated as he did not expect Huang Yunlong, who was extremely obsessed with snakes, to bring such a ma.s.sive python back. The power of the ma.s.sive python must have caught his attention. While such a ma.s.sive python was indeed rare, little did he expect it to ruin his plan.
He initially felt that Cheng Anya was limp in a leg and could not escape. Once the ma.s.sive python entered the house, it would be able to quickly devour Cheng Anya. With that done, Huang Yunlong would be able to summon the ma.s.sive python back and steal the surveillance camera footage before leaving—all without leaving a trace.
Who would expect Cheng Anya to be such a bada.s.s and take down the ma.s.sive python? Huang Yunlong and his crew escaped in panic. Old Master Yun discovered that things had gone south and immediately ordered somebody to steal the surveillance camera footage, only to discover that the footage had already been stolen. He thought that Huang Yunlong and his crew had stolen the footage and relaxed.
Little did he expect Third Young Master Ye to show up.
“Ye Chen, my father did not do this deliberately. Spare him!” Yun Ruoxi pulled off the catheter and in tears, pleaded with Ye Chen.
Ye Chen flung her aside and coldly said, “Yun Ruoxi, stop pretending! Both father and daughter are in cahoots, and I won’t call the cops!”
Both father and daughter were delighted.
“In one week’s time, I will turn the Yun Enterprise into history!” Ye Chen’s lips curled.
The faces of both father and daughter paled as Old Master Yun collapsed into the chair. It was as though he was thoroughly sapped of energy.
“Ye Chen, no, you cannot do this! This is the effort of three generations of the Yun family! For the sake of the child… please, please do not be so ruthless! I promise there will not be a second time!”
“Indeed, there will be no second chance. You will not have another chance!” Ye Chen said deeply with a vicious look on his face. “Child? Miss Yun, are you sure the child belongs to me?” Ye Chen asked mockingly as his gaze swept past Yun Ruoxi.
Yun Ruoxi’s face instantly became pale…
