Chapter 277 Growing Nervousness
Sitting in the car, Ye Ranni asked Ye Linshen worriedly, “How about calling Sichen before we go there? Otherwise, what should we do if he wasn’t at home? I’m afraid it is not a good idea to visit him without appointments.”
Ye Linshen smiled with confidence, “He won’t. What we should do is to knock the door and walk in the room. And then, you should do as what I have told you.”
Ye Ranni thought for a while and nodded, “Alright.”
Then Ye Ranni got out of the car and walked to the gate of the villa.
Two gatekeepers outside the gate saw Ye Ranni and stopped her directly.
Ye Ranni frowned, “I’m coming for my brother. I have an emergency!” She said to the gatekeepers, pretending the situation was quite serious.
But the gatekeepers said coldly, “Do you have an appointment? If you do, please show me the number.”
Ye Ranni felt embarra.s.sed. She raised her head and said immediately, “I am Ye Sichen’s sister. Why do you stop me?”
“Sorry, Miss Ye. We have to obey the orders from Mr. Ye. Besides, he is too busy to meet anyone right now. You’d better leave here. Please don’t make it embarra.s.sed for both of us.”
After hours of persuasion, the gatekeepers remained ruthless and asked her to leave.
Then, Ye Ranni got in the car in a low spirit.
“They won’t let me in. I’ve already told you that we’d better call him before we go, but you didn’t do as I said. You see, we failed.” She complained.
Ye Linshen frowned and took out his phone, then called Ye Sichen. Fortunately, the call had been through, but Ye Sichen’s secretary answered it for him.
“I think you’d better tell Ye Sichen to come and see me for the last time. After all, I’m his brother, and he wouldn’t be so cold-blooded.” Ye Linshen said.
The secretary was silent for a moment and said, “OK, I’ll tell him. But he is really busy now. I’ll tell him when he’s free.”
“I need to see him now! You’d better tell him that if he doesn’t come to see me, I’m going to drive to hit the gate. Of course, I’m sure you watchdogs will pounce on me. That’s OK. I’ll call some reporters to see how he tried to kill his brother.” Ye Linshen hung up the phone before the secretary answered, and then stared at the gate with cold eyes.
“What should we do now, Linshen?”
“Just drive right through and hit the gate.” Ye Linshen ordered the driver.
It was too late for Ye Ranni to stop him. The driver had already stepped on the gas and drove right to the gate. The two gatekeepers tried to stop the car but failed. They had to take out the weapon they were carrying, aimed at the car and pulled the trigger.
However, concerning about the boss’s reputation, they didn’t dare to shoot Ye Linshen for real. After all, Ye Sichen didn’t give them the order. They just wanted to scare Ye Linshen to go back. But the latter was not afraid of the bravado. Instead, he let the driver drive the car to hit the gate.
One of the two gatekeepers reported the situation on his walkie-talkie, while the other only fired into the air for fear of hurting Ye Linshen.
“Bang!” The iron grating of the gate was bent.
Ye Sichen stood on the balcony, watching this scene with gloomy face. He said to the secretary, “Let them in.”
Soon, Ye Linshen entered the villa as he expected.
Ye Linshen was very proud of this, showing off in front of Ye Ranni, “See? He is a sheep if you are a lion. He won’t compromise until you take some rude measures.”
Ye Ranni did not make a sound, just gave him a worried glance.
She didn’t think it was that simple.
Before entering the living room, they had already seen Ye Sichen who was dressed in black casual clothes. He looked thin and even gaunt.
Seeing him, Ye Ranni smiled and walked up to him, calling him brother and then took his arm intimately.
Ye Sichen paid no attention to Ye Ranni, but to the iron grating that had been bent, frowning, “Who did this?”
Ye Ranni looked a little scared and then looked at Ye Linshen, who was sitting in his wheelchair calmly.
Ye Linshen answered, “I did. Because only in this way will you meet me.”
“What do you want? We have nothing to say.” Ye Sichen said with a sneer.
Ye Linshen was about to speak but stopped, looking at Ye Ranni. Ye Ranni said sadly, “Sichen, Linshen’s time is running out, and he wants a formal farewell. We heard that you will hold some concerts, so let’s have a special show of Ye’s family band, shall we? Sichen, you are a very kind person. I’m sure you won’t let him down, right?”
When Ye Ranni said this, she was already in tears, looking at Ye Sichen pleadingly and waiting for his answer.
Ye Sichen looked at Ye Linshen carefully. Except for being confined to a wheelchair, Ye Linshen was radiant with energy, and he had no symptoms of muscular dystrophy. Ye Sichen had always known that Ye Linshen and Fu Ya, Luo Dai’er’s mother, had had some cooperative programs and Fu Ya had provided Ye Linshen with a special medicine that could prevent muscle atrophy. Ye Sichen also had tried to dissuade him from taking the medicine because of the side effects, but Ye Linshen and Madam Ye didn’t listen to him.
Recently, Madam Ye had clearly broken off the mother-child relationship with Ye Sichen, so he stopped caring about this.
Although the medicine had some side effects, it was not deadly. Obviously, Ye Linshen was only pretending to be critically ill in order to attend his concert and become a guest singer.
“The shows of concert have been perfected. We can’t add any more.”
Ye Sichen refused coldly.
Ye Ranni pleaded, “Sichen, would you be kind and help him with this? I know, we are not related by blood, but at least our father had raised you for so many years. Could you help him with this for the sake of father? I’m begging you, Sichen, please.”
“You should say it earlier, but now it’s too late. There’s nothing I can do. I didn’t prepare this concert alone. There are a lot of teams behind it. I can’t change the list for my own business.” Ye Sichen turned into the living room as soon as he finished.
Ye Linshen stared his back angrily, “You are my brother, Ye Sichen! You really want to do this to me regardless of our brotherhood?”
“Did you treat me as your brother before? In your opinion, I’m your brother only when you need me!” Ye Sichen snorted, “I know what you want, and I won’t agree. You won’t get anything from me! Don’t waste your time.”
“Ye Sichen! Don’t forget, everything you have now is given by our family! Don’t be ungrateful!” Ye Linshen pointed at Ye Sichen’s back and roared.
“I earned everything through my own efforts without your help! I’m grateful to my father, Ye Qiao, not to the rest of you. The music rights of Ye’s family have all been returned to Ye’s family, and you will get nothing from me!” He said firmly.
Ye Linshen’s angry face turned purple, “Ye Sichen, do you think you can extend your fame and achievements over the world? How is that possible? You will die for your 200 concerts!”
After a slight pause, Ye Sichen’s face became darker than before. He walked into the living room silently.
Ye Linshen pushed his wheelchair forward, “You ungrateful b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You will be punished!”
Right after he said that, two bodyguards came in with the police.
“Ye Linshen, you are suspected of disturbing the residents and damaging other’s property deliberately, please go to the police station and cooperate with the investigation.” The police detained Ye Linshen with evidence: photos of the gate site and the surveillance video.
Ye Linshen clenched his fists, “It’s Ye Sichen. He tried to murder me! You should arrest him!”
Hearing this, the policeman frowned and looked at Ye Ranni, “Is that true?”
Ye Ranni did not lie for Ye Linshen this time. She told the truth, “No. We came here to visit Sichen, but he has been busy and refused our visiting. Linshen couldn’t wait to see him, so he crashed the gate with his car.”
The police nodded and took Ye Linshen away. Ye Linshen glared at Ye Ranni as he left. Ye Ranni was somewhat absent-minded and watched Ye Sichen leave.
Xia Nuan watched that Ye Linshen was taken away by the police. She called Ye Sichen’s number again.
As usual, Ye Sichen didn’t answer the phone.
Xia Nuan had sent him hundreds of emails, all of which had gone unanswered. Maybe Ye Sichen just ignored them. Xia Nuan wanted to meet her children, but suddenly realized that she didn’t know where the children were. She heard that the children were hidden by Ye Sichen in a secret place. Therefore, she also sent someone to ask for information, but got nothing.
She called Ye Sichen but failed again and again.
Anyway, she had to talk to Ye Sichen and ask him to give up the 200 concerts. She found that the staff, especially the staff of the music company and Ye Sichen’s team, had been replaced. Only Ken and Di Luoke were still around Ye Sichen. All of others were strange faces that she had never seen and known.
A little monster called fear was approaching Xia Nuan step by step, making her more and more nervous.
She put the phone into the bag, and then crossed her arms, waiting quietly outside the villa. She hoped that Ye Sichen could see her and let her in.
Ye Sichen pushed the curtain aside, watching the pet.i.te figure under the streetlight. His heart was somewhat painful, then he closed the curtain.
“Tomorrow is the birthday of Nianci and Wuyou, Sir. Do you have any plan for this special day?” Ken came into the room.
Ye Sichen put down the newspaper and stared thoughtfully at the curtain.
At that moment, the door of the secret chamber opened. Wuyou, Nianci, and Ansheng were led out by Di Luoke.
The children ran to Ye Sichen.
