"Can you tell me the truth? If you don't, I won't hesitate to beat you to a pulp, to the point where your face swells up like a pig's."
Chen Yong was still defiant, shouting at Ye Tiancheng.
"Don't think you can do whatever you want to me just because you have some connections. Are you out of options? What right do you have to use force against me? You're not qualified!"
Unexpectedly, Chen Yong was so stubborn. At this moment, Xiao Pang had to play along beside Ye Tiancheng. The main role of the two brothers was to cooperate. Xiao Pang quickly understood Ye Tiancheng's intentions and tried to persuade Chen Yong to back down.
"Chen Yong, are you stupid? You can't possibly win against Ye Tiancheng. Don't be stubborn now. Can't you see the situation? We don't dare to offend Ye Tiancheng. You'd better just tell the truth."
Ye Tiancheng's strength completely crushed Chen Yong, leaving him with no choice but to beg for mercy. After Ye Tiancheng let him go, he gave a bitter smile.
"My cooperation with Chen Yuejin is my biggest regret. That brat actually tried to trick me and keep all the money we earned. But heaven helps those who help themselves! That guy dug his own grave, ran the business into the ground, and then committed suicide. Now I have to sort things out, and I don't know if I have the face to live on. I have to live with a large debt, while the detestable Chen Yuejin is living a leisurely life. He's finally dead and free of it all."
Before Ye Tiancheng arrived, Xiao Pang had taken a photo of Chen Yuejin's corpse and specifically showed it to Chen Yong. "It seems you envy Chen Yuejin. Take a look at his fate and then think carefully if you should envy such an ending."
Chen Yong took a glance and almost broke down. "How could this happen? Why does a person who falls to their death look like this? Is that white stuff brain matter? All his intestines are spilled out!"
As he spoke, Chen Yong was terrified. Cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he no longer cared about the pain Ye Tiancheng had inflicted on him. Seeing Chen Yuejin's tragic end, he was so scared that his soul trembled.
"I believe you know something about Chen Yuejin's death, don't you? Are you still planning to stay silent? Or do you want to join Chen Yuejin in the same way he died? I have no objections, I can send you on your way."
Ye Tiancheng spoke coldly, while cracking his knuckles, the crisp sound echoing. He wished he could finish him off the next second.
"Alright, I give up. I admit I can't escape your notice. I just didn't expect you, Ye Tiancheng, to be so meddlesome. I shouldn't have approached Ouyang Xu's promise. I regret it so much. Otherwise, even if Chen Yuejin and I hadn't made any money, we wouldn't have ended up like this. I regret it deeply."
"Ouyang Xu's promise?"
"Yes, I didn't have much of a relationship with him before, but I knew him. When I was drinking with friends, I complained about how unhappy I was cooperating with Chen Yuejin. I was a small boss back then, but Chen Yuejin was nothing. He was fired by Hou's Company. At that time, no one was willing to help him. He was squatting in a small rental room in despair, and I kindly helped him, which allowed him to turn his life around. But then he tried to stab me in the back, so I was unhappy. I don't know what Ouyang Xu's promise did, but he made someone jump off a building."
Listening to Chen Yong's account, Ye Tiancheng quickly pieced together the whole story. It turned out that this matter was indeed related to Ouyang Xu's promise. Chen Yuejin had indeed done wrong, but now he had to pay for it with his life. Ye Tiancheng couldn't help but sigh. Lost lives could never be returned, but the most pressing issue now was to control the troublemaker. This person seemed to be planning something big.
"Alright, take care of yourself from now on. If anything happens, remember to contact me. I'm leaving."
Before Ye Tiancheng left Chen Yong's office, he suddenly saw a girl. The girl was quite pretty and had a good figure. However, she didn't dare to meet Ye Tiancheng's gaze, and he wondered if there was some hidden reason.
Ye Tiancheng and Xiao Pang went downstairs and began to discuss their next move on the street. If they went to find Ouyang Xu's promise directly now, their strength was clearly not enough, and they might be instantly killed by Ouyang Xu's promise. Ye Tiancheng knew what he was doing wrong and was using dark energy to strengthen his forces. Ye Tiancheng and Xiao Pang also had a premonition that another murder might happen soon.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Ye? You looked a bit familiar just now."
As Ye Tiancheng and Xiao Pang were squatting on the street downstairs, eating popsicles, they suddenly saw the same woman they had seen earlier. The woman's gaze had been strange before, and now she suddenly appeared before them. There was only one possibility: she had been following them.
"Yes, that's me. Is there something you need?"
"That's great! I thought I was mistaken. I saw you beat up Mr. Chen just now, and I believe you can help me uphold justice."
Ye Tiancheng was a bit confused, like a monk touching a wall. He didn't know this girl before, nor did he know what had happened to her. Now, her sudden request for help clearly put him in a passive position.
"What's your name? What do you need my help with?"
"My name is Sun Lili. I used to work at this company. The deceased Chen Yuejin used to harass me. To keep my job, I chose to remain silent. I regret it now. Now that he's dead, there's no way to get justice. So, I hope Mr. Ye can help me, otherwise, I will always live with psychological problems and in the shadow of pain."
"He's already dead, how can you get revenge? Now Chen Yuejin's family only has an elderly mother over seventy years old. I don't think you can get revenge on her."
"Mr. Ye, you're right. What should I do then? Should I just accept my fate? I really don't feel right about it. I live in pain every day, and I really don't want to continue like this."
Seeing Liu Lili's state, Ye Tiancheng felt a desire to help her.
"Alright, Ms. Liu, all the pain is in the past. Your new life has begun, so don't think about it too much. If you feel bored, we can both be your friends."
Ye Tiancheng patted Xiao Pang's shoulder. "The beautiful lady has troubles, why don't you accompany her for a meal and have a good chat?"
"I know, big brother. Of course, I'm very willing. With such a beautiful lady accompanying me, this meal will be very delicious."
Ye Tiancheng left happily, not expecting such an unexpected gain this time, being able to find such a beautiful girlfriend for Xiao Pang.
Ye Tiancheng watched them, thinking they looked quite compatible. He nodded symbolically and then strode away, a smile like that of a matchmaker on his face.
Ye Tiancheng was happy for Xiao Pang, but unexpectedly, his own romantic fortune arrived so quickly. Ye Tiancheng went to check on the progress of the pigsty and found that the little pigs were growing very fast. He was very happy. Just as he finished talking with the person in charge, he saw Liu Lanying returning. Liu Lanying was riding an electric scooter. As soon as she parked the scooter and took off her helmet, her hair fluttered, making the scene look particularly beautiful. Liu Lanying's mother had also come with her.
"Auntie, I warmly welcome you to observe our work. Have you eaten? Otherwise, Lan Ying and I can take you out to eat."
It was Ye Tiancheng's first time meeting Liu Lanying's mother, so of course, he had to speak more politely, otherwise, he would seem like a cold and unfriendly investor.
"You must be that Mr. Ye. You look truly talented. No wonder my daughter always mentions you to me."
Ye Tiancheng felt Liu Lanying's mother's gaze lingering on him, with a very probing look. He couldn't help but nod. Didn't this look like she was looking at a son-in-law? Ye Tiancheng found it increasingly strange but dared not say more.
"I've already eaten, so you don't need to worry about me. You and Lan Ying should talk properly. I don't want to disturb you."
Her way of speaking also sounded like a mother-in-law. She kept saying she had eaten and insisted that Ye Tiancheng and Liu Lanying talk properly. The two were just simple friends.
Ye Tiancheng didn't explain, as they hadn't explicitly stated anything. Liu Lanying's mother then took Liu Lanying's hand and gave Ye Tiancheng a thumbs-up.
"I think this man is very good and very suitable for you. Think about it carefully."
"Mom, what are you saying? You'll scare my Big Brother Ye."
Liu Lanying finally managed to persuade her mother, and then she discussed work matters with Ye Tiancheng. Liu Lanying showed Ye Tiancheng some contracts. With Ye Tiancheng's encouragement before, Liu Lanying's work attitude was very serious, and she was now full of drive.
"Alright, I don't need to look. I trust you. You are much more professional than I am. If I were to find fault with you, it would be gilding the lily."
"Okay, then it's settled. By the way, I heard the watermelons are ripe. Let's go get some watermelons to eat. I heard that although the yield this time is quite low, the taste of the watermelons is quite good. They are sweet and crisp, and they have that special high-class sweetness."
"Okay, what about your mother? Don't you need to take care of her?"
"She's going to stay here for a few more days. I've already arranged for someone to take care of her. Regardless, we can't delay our work."
The two went to eat watermelon and returned to find that Liu Lanying's brother, Liu Dajun, had arrived.
Liu Dajun also brought his wife, acting like an ostrich beside her. It was clear he was henpecked.
"Liu Lanying, what's going on with your brother and sister-in-law? This is a workplace. If you bring your family members here, you might cause gossip, which isn't good."
"My brother is henpecked. My sister-in-law is in charge of everything at home now. So, I feel like they're not here with good intentions. My mother came first, just as a vanguard. I guess there are more grand plans later."
"Xiao Yingzi, what are you whispering to outsiders over there? Don't you see your brother and sister-in-law have arrived? Hurry up and come to greet them."
Liu Lanying's mother called Liu Lanying over to talk to her brother. Liu Lanying had no choice but to go, keeping her head down the entire time, looking unhappy.
"What's wrong with you? You've become rich now, and you're still planning to be stingy? You won't even help your brother. What's the use of me having you? I might as well have strangled you when you were just born. You're useless."
