Ye Nantian feigned ignorance, staring at Ye Longlin with a bewildered expression, but a playful smile flickered at the corner of his lips as he spoke, "What does Marshal Ye mean? I don't know what Marshal Ye is talking about."
"Marshal Ye, as a soldier, you should be aware of the consequences of slander. If you continue like this, I will sue you for defamation."
He seemed to have found a way to counter Ye Longlin, completely playing dumb and refusing to engage directly.
"Marshal Ye, you see, you wanted to deal with me, so you devised a plan to harm five hundred thousand soldiers. These soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed for the country became battlefield souls due to your selfish desires. Afterwards, to put an end to the matter, you toured abroad for two years with Yuan Gang and others.
Upon returning to the country, you concocted a reason that deceived the Honor Hall and all review bodies. After passing the review, you used this reason to frame my Ye family. This way, all evidence would point to my Ye family, and you would have sufficient grounds to destroy my Ye family, wouldn't you?"
It had to be said, Ye Nantian's mind worked incredibly fast, fabricating the entire scenario in such a short time!
It was even logical and causal, making it more convincing.
"Clap clap clap!"
Ye Longlin applauded, a smile on his face, "Patriarch Ye's mind, it's a shame you're not writing novels. But do you think anyone will believe your story, or do you think anyone will believe you without any proof?"
Ye Nantian's smile widened, "You, the supreme leader of the military, a six-star general, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, aren't you exactly like this?"
Did it seem like a stalemate?
But it was at this moment that Ye Longlin took out his phone, opened the photos he had just received, placed them before him, and continued, "My people have already begun investigating who was in the church. I believe they will find out soon. So, the purpose of my visit was simply to have you tell me directly, so my people don't have to go through all the trouble, right?"
Upon seeing the photos, Ye Nantian's face remained smiling, but his heart sank. If Ye Longlin's people were already investigating, they would surely find out soon, and the matter would become clear.
He was left with only two options: either reveal the identity of the person involved, or continue to stubbornly deny everything and wait for Ye Longlin's people to find out.
No matter how this situation developed, the conflict between Ye Longlin and the Ye family was irreconcilable. Since it was irreconcilable, Ye Nantian had no intention of telling him anything, even if it meant letting him investigate.
This was Ye Nantian's thought process.
"Since Marshal Ye is so capable, why don't you investigate it yourself instead of coming here to ask me? I don't seem to have any obligation to tell you."
Ye Nantian remained stubborn, pushing the phone back.
It seemed that the follow-up plan needed to be accelerated, otherwise, once they were ready, the Ye family would be at a disadvantage.
"Yes, anyway, I have already obtained the evidence of the Ye family colluding with the Dark Hall. The Honor Hall is currently verifying its authenticity. If I'm not mistaken, Old Master Ye will be dismissed from his post in a day or two at most. By then, you will believe that what I'm saying is true."
With that, Ye Longlin stood up.
"Since Patriarch Ye doesn't believe me, why not wait and see if what I say is true or false? I believe Patriarch Ye will know the truth soon."
After speaking, Ye Longlin left with a harmless smile.
As soon as he left, Ye Nantian's expression instantly turned grim, his gaze becoming extremely menacing.
"Butler, inform everyone to accelerate the progress. I want to deal with Ye Longlin in the shortest possible time!"
Ye Nantian couldn't wait any longer. His visit today was specifically to intimidate!
The most critical point was that Ye Longlin had revealed his entire next plan, and he had no way to counter it. Now, for both sides, the most effective defense was offense!
As it was a tripartite collaboration, coordination between both parties was necessary. Furthermore, the Dark Hall posed some trouble. Even though they had not been exposed, as long as their people appeared in Great Xia, the Great Xia Intelligence Department could quickly ascertain where they originated from within Great Xia!
The Ye family could only rely on their clan's powerful experts. If they did not summon them soon, the Ye family might not last long before being annihilated. As for the Wu family, they would likely have their clan's Saint realm experts take action. The Dark Hall, on the other hand, was an unstable factor.
Therefore, the only thing Ye Nantian could be sure of was the Wu family.
"Ye Longlin."
Killing intent flickered in Ye Nantian's eyes, his murderous intent soaring to its peak, wishing he could eliminate Ye Longlin right now!
At the same time, in the Supreme Department conference room.
The Supreme Department, to put it nicely, was one of Great Xia's highest authorities. To put it crudely, it was a subordinate organization of the Honor Hall.
In the conference room at this moment, Ning Qi was reading an order from a document.
"According to relevant regulations, the Ye family is suspected of colluding with the enemy and treason. Relevant evidence is being collected. Ye Zhengran is hereby ordered to cease all his work and return home to await orders."
After finishing, he handed the document to Old Master Ye.
Old Master Ye looked at the signatures and seals from various departments on the document and suddenly realized he had been removed?
But when did the Ye family collude with the enemy and commit treason?
"I object, I want to appeal, I want to file for administrative reconsideration."
Ye Zhengran slammed the document onto the table, saying angrily. He truly did not know about this matter, nor did he understand what was happening.
However, judging by the current situation, it seemed possible?
After all, the Honor Hall had already intervened, so even if it wasn't true, it was considered true. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"You may do so, but Old Master Ye, your reconsideration will be of no use. Evidence is currently being collected. If the evidence shows that you were not involved in this matter, you may still be reinstated. For now, you should put aside your work and wait obediently at home."
Ning Qi's words were very clear.
It could be said that it was a foregone conclusion. If one insisted on seeking clarification, then one could only go back and ask Ye Nantian what he had done.
"Old Master Ye, you should be aware of the Honor Hall's temperament. They generally do not issue documents before matters are confirmed. You should inquire with Ye Nantian, rather than filing for administrative reconsideration. You have served the country all your life, and we all know that. Therefore, we all hope you have been wrongly accused, and we hope that one day you can return."
