Chapter 481: Chapter 481: That Person is You
“Mom, why are you keeping Ah Yu’s injury a secret?” the Jiang Family said confusedly, “If we tell Dad about this, maybe he’ll take better care of our second branch because of Ah Yu’s injury.”
The Old Madam scolded, “Fool! You think the old man would favor us second branch because of this? I think you’ve been eating and sleeping too well lately, losing your mind! Keep these stupid thoughts to yourself in the future!”
The Jiang Family swallowed her saliva, didn’t dare to say a word after being scolded.
An hour later.
In the hospital room.
“The patient is not in life-threatening condition, just a severe fracture in the right hand, so fracture in the right calf, and a slight concussion, the rest are just so minor scrapes on the body. Rest more these days, don’t get out of bed casually.”
The doctor instructed and then left.
Helan Tianyu lay on the hospital bed, his face sowhat frighteningly dark.
“Alright, having a dark face does no good,” the Old Madam said while sitting beside him, “I have already sent your assistant to investigate this matter.”
“Fortunately, the other party did not intend to kill you, otherwise, you wouldn’t just have fractures and a slight concussion. Do you suspect anyone?”
Helan Tianyu restrained the irritability in his heart, saying, “No.”
This ca too suddenly, he was not prepared at all, nor had he received any information in advance.
At this mont, the Jiang Family said, “Could it be soone from the main branch?”
Helan Tianyu frowned and said, “Impossible, Helan Lingshuang wouldn’t be stupid enough to make a move on now.”
“If it’s not soone from the main branch, then what about people from other branches?” asked the Jiang Family.
“Today’s incident doesn’t seem like sothing done by the Helan Family,” said Helan Tianyu.
He still had this intuition.
The Old Madam looked at him and asked, “Have you offended anyone recently?”
Helan Tianyu shook his head, “Grandma, even if I have offended people, it’s just business people. I usually handle these things cleanly, without leaving any future trouble.”
So, this could also be ruled out.
Moreover, being a mber of the Helan Family, even if they wanted to retaliate against him, they would have to weigh if they could bear the consequences.
As for who it really is, it can only be investigated.
But he felt that if the other party was well-prepared, they wouldn’t leave any clues for him.
“Alright, mom, grandma, you guys can go back. There’s nothing important here, I want to rest for a while.”
“Okay, then rest well.” The Old Madam said as she got up and left.
The Jiang Family looked at him with a face full of heartache and said, “Ah Yu, I’ll have soone make so nourishing soup for you later.”
Helan Tianyu nodded, “Okay, I got it, mom, you should go back too, don’t keep grandma waiting.”
…
The news of Helan Tianyu’s hospitalization reached Ella an hour later.
This news was personally delivered by Ye Jiuqing.
As she was about to leave the old mansion, he ca.
As soon as she got in the car, he said to her, “Helan Tianyu got injured and was hospitalized.”
She was a bit dazed at first, but she reacted quickly.
“Did you have soone do it?”
The man responded with a slight acknowledgent and said, “The person isn’t dead, just got a little injured, and the injuries aren’t serious.”
He didn’t plan to do anything to him, just wanted to teach him a lesson, to let him rember.
Ella nodded and gave him a thumbs-up, saying, “Impressive, still as domineering as Young Master Jiuqing.”
Ye Jiuqing looked at her and asked, “Happy?”
“Not bad.”
She didn’t oppose Ye Jiuqing’s actions this ti. Luckily, he was also soone with a sense of propriety and didn’t kill anyone.
After all, killing him now would be too easy for him.
…
Afternoon.
In Helan Tianyu’s hospital room.
The assistant looked at the man on the hospital bed and said, “Second Young Master, I have investigated. The license plate of the car that hit us is fake, and the roadside surveillance did not capture any useful information.”
“At present, it seems that the other party was well-prepared, not leaving a single trace.”
Helan Tianyu wasn’t surprised to hear this news.
He said in a deep voice, “Continue investigating secretly.”
The loss he suffered this ti, he would make sure the person who plotted against him would repay it later.
The assistant responded, “Alright, Second Young Master.”
Then, he added, “Second Young Master, now that you are injured, you may not be able to personally negotiate the cooperation with DK.”
Helan Tianyu was silent for a mont and said, “The plan remains unchanged, keep an eye on Helan Lingshuang. As soon as she makes a move, we must be one step ahead.”
“Understood.”
——
The next day, Ella went straight to work at HL.
Of course, at the beginning, it wasn’t smooth, there were always people picking faults with her in etings.
But she managed to counter them all, leaving those who picked faults speechless.
She appeared harmless on the surface, but actually, her aura was quite oppressive.
She managed to secure her footing in this eting, at least she could intimidate people’s hearts.
“Dad, now you shouldn’t worry about being bullied, right?”
In Helan Xunzheng’s office, Ella was sitting in his chair, speaking with a smile.
“Dad, actually your worries are unnecessary. Look at the old man, his mindset is much better than yours. He was never worried that I wouldn’t be able to handle it, otherwise, he wouldn’t have acted first and then put in this position.”
“Don’t bla your grandpa either, he just wants to push you to compete for this position,” said Helan Xunzheng, “Your father has too many concerns, unlike you and your brother who are so carefree. That’s why your grandpa pushed you up.”
She naturally understood his words.
Ella looked at her father and said, “Dad, then recently, you should stay in the hospital with mom. Leave the company affairs to .”
Helan Xunzheng said, “Alright, if you need anything, just look for Xiao ng and Xiao Fan. Both of them are reliable, they used to work with your brother.”
Ella nodded, “Got it.”
After Helan Xunzheng finished speaking, he left.
Soon, the assistant secretary knocked on the door and ca in.
After ng Ye ca in, he looked at Ella sitting at the desk and asked, “Second Miss, do you need us to redecorate the office?”
Ella sat in the chair, glancing around this spacious office, which her brother had used, her father had used, and now it was her turn.
Actually, many of her brother’s things were still retained here.
“No need, just leave it be.”
She didn’t want to change the things here too much because she wouldn’t always be staying at HL.
“Okay,” ng Ye agreed and placed the docunt he was holding on the desk, “Second Miss, this is the contract you asked to prepare.”
Ella glanced at the contract on the desk, then looked up at him with a smile, “Not bad, your work efficiency is fantastic, as expected from soone my brother left behind.”
Being praised made ng Ye a little embarrassed, “Second Miss, it’s what I should do.” Then he added, “By the way, Second Miss, we haven’t negotiated the cooperation with DK yet. Isn’t it too early to prepare this contract now?”
Ella leaned slightly forward, her back straight, hands crossed on the desk, calmly said, “Not early, just prepare it, when it’s needed, we can just sign directly.”
“Ah?” ng Ye was a bit confused, just sign directly? What kind of move is this?
“So, Second Miss, do we need to make any preparations?” he asked.
Ella smiled slightly and said, “No need, just follow the usual work pace, this matter is not urgent.”
The whole company knew about her competing with Helan Tianyu for the chairman position.
But their Second Miss didn’t seem anxious at all, this…
“But Second Miss, what if Vice President Yu seizes the opportunity before us?”
“Don’t worry, it won’t happen.”
Seeing her confident look, ng Ye stopped asking further.
Then, Ella said, “No need to call Second Miss in the company anymore.”
“Then, what should I call you?” ng Ye asked.
Because he really didn’t know how to address her, “Mr. Helan” was too common, couldn’t distinguish.
Ella thought for a mont and said, “President Ling, President Shuang, you can call whichever you please.”
ng Ye thought for a mont and then said, “Then President Ling.”
“As you wish, I’m fine with it, just as long as it’s not Second Miss, as it doesn’t sound imposing,” she said.
ng Ye: “…” Alright.
“Then President Ling, I’ll leave first, call if you need anything.”
“Mm, go ahead.”
After ng Ye left, Ella’s phone rang.
She glanced at it, it was a WeChat ssage from Ye Jiuqing: [How did it go? Smoothly?]
Ella replied: [Who do you think I am? Of course, it went smoothly.]
[What ti do you get off work? I’ll pick you up. Grandpa wants us to co ho for dinner.]
Ella looked at the text he sent and chuckled.
[Is Young Master Jiuqing so free?]
[Picking you up from work is an important matter. It’s not because I’m idle; even if I’m busy, I have to make ti for it.]
[Tsk, tsk, tsk… Young Master Jiuqing’s writing skills have improved remarkably.]
[Because that person is you.]
“…”
After Ella finished reading, she didn’t reply to him.
There were two reasons for not replying: firstly, she didn’t know what to say; secondly, she received a phone call.
Three days later.
“Second Young Master, during your absence from the company, Miss Ling Shuang cleaned out everyone in the CEO’s office. Our people have been transferred away.”
Helan Tianyu was sitting on the hospital bed looking at the docunts in his hand, and his hand paused slightly as he flipped through them.
Then, he chuckled: “That little girl seems to have so capability and skills.”
The assistant said worriedly: “Second Young Master, Miss Ling Shuang doesn’t seem easy to deal with, and in just a few days, she’s managed to silence all those who were being difficult. The people we’ve arranged don’t dare to speak up and are all scared of her.”
“I indeed underestimated her before.”
Helan Tianyu’s expression beca sowhat dark as he asked, “How are things on the DK front?”
The assistant replied, “Miss Ling Shuang hasn’t shown any reaction at all, as if she doesn’t even care about this matter.”
Helan Tianyu closed the docunt in his hand and said solemnly, “Keep a close watch, this little girl is clever and we must be cautious.”
No reaction at all is already very strange.
“Understood, sir.”
“Any news from Ye Jiuqing?” Helan Tianyu asked.
The assistant replied, “No particular news, but he frequently visits the hospital to see Miss Ling Shuang’s mother and also goes to the old house.”
Helan Tianyu frowned upon hearing this: “When did he beco so close with the Old Master?”
As far as he rembers, Ye Jiuqing doesn’t have much connection with the Helan Family.
Yet recently, he’s been appearing at the Helan Family often. Could there be so relationship between him and Helan Lingshuang?
“Go, investigate the relationship between him and Helan Lingshuang.”
“Understood.”
…
HL Group’s underground parking lot.
“Why are you here again?”
After Ella got in the car, she saw Ye Jiuqing sitting there.
She looked at the driver in the driver’s seat and said, “Ah He, can’t you stop opening the car door for him in the future?”
Ah He, who was suddenly nad, silently glanced at the rearview mirror and replied, “Miss Ling Shuang, I’m afraid I cannot.”
“Can’t beat him?” Ella asked.
Ah He was now both her driver and personal bodyguard, assigned to her by the Old Master.
Ah He: “…”
How was he supposed to answer this?
He felt that no matter what he said, he’d offend one of them.
So, he chose to remain silent.
Ella didn’t make things difficult for him, she turned her head to look at the man sitting calmly beside her.
“Helan Tianyu is already having you investigated. Appearing so frequently will easily arouse his suspicions.”
She had received this news an hour ago.
Moreover, Helan Tianyu had also sent people to keep an eye on her.
Ye Jiuqing lowered his gaze slightly, “He has to have the opportunity to investigate if he wants to.”
Ella narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, “You won’t try to ss with him again, will you?”
“Not at all.” He smiled and said, “There’s more than just brute force to solve problems in this world.”
She leaned back leisurely against the back of the seat and said, “Go on, I’m listening.”
She was curious to know what this man who always relied on brute force would co up with.
Ye Jiuqing looked at her and asked her a question: “Guess, what’s the one thing I lack the least?”
“Money?” She thought for a mont and raised an eyebrow.
The man raised his hand and patted her head, saying two words: “Smart.”
“…”
She tugged at her mouth with a faint smile.
“Were Helan Tianyu’s people so easily bribed by you?”
How could she not believe it?
“Of course, it wasn’t all settled with money; so tactics were involved too.”
Ella was speechless.
“Aren’t you just using brute force to solve it after all?”
She didn’t want to argue with him over this.
“Ah He, take to my brother’s place.”
Upon hearing this, Ah He promptly responded, “Okay.”
Forty minutes later.
The car arrived at the private hospital’s parking lot.
When Ella got out of the car, Ye Jiuqing followed suit.
“You’re going too?” she asked, looking at him.
Ye Jiuqing replied, “It’s about ti I visited my brother-in-law.”
Ella: “…”
In the ward.
When Shao Chuan saw the two walk in together, he stood up and greeted them, “Second Miss, Young Master Ye.”
Afterward, he promptly excused himself.
Ye Jiuqing had previously t Helan Qiuzhe, but that was before his accident.
The man lying on the hospital bed looked slightly thinner but hadn’t changed otherwise.
“Didn’t you let Su He see your brother?” Ye Jiuqing asked.
Ella pulled over a chair and sat down.
Then, she replied slowly, “She did see him but couldn’t do anything, though she has been using acupuncture treatnt constantly for five years and the situation remains the sa.”
Ye Jiuqing thought of what happened in Y Country, “But didn’t she wake up that person nad Bai?”
Ella replied, “Bai Luo was pretending; she woke up long ago. Do you really think Susu is a god? Even if her dical skills are incredible, she has no other thods for this illness.”
“The probability of a vegetative person waking is very small, but even if there’s only a 0.1% hope, I won’t give up.”
She looked determinedly at Helan Qiuzhe, who was quietly lying on the hospital bed.
If five years doesn’t work, then she’ll wait another five years. As long as she breathes, she won’t give up on her brother.
Ella suddenly looked at him and said, “Since you’re so free, why don’t you co here every day and talk to my brother?”
Ye Jiuqing: “…”
Asking him to talk to a man every day, she sure dared to think of that.
Ella continued, “My brother never liked you and looked down on you. You can talk to him every day, provoke him a bit. After all, the matter of marrying you is a big deal for my brother. If he hadn’t been in an accident, I wouldn’t have been able to force you to marry . He’d definitely be the first to object, he’d be on your side.”
“…”
“So, the first thing your brother might do when he wakes up is make us divorce?”
Ella nodded, “Yes, a 90% probability.”
Ye Jiuqing was amused.
“Ha, your calculations aren’t bad. Whoever wants to do this can, I won’t.”
“I can pay you a salary; I won’t make you do it for free. You na your price.”
“…”
