Chapter 523: Chapter 523: Deep-seated Hatred
The Lei Family’s private villa.
The guests who ca have all returned to their hos, leaving only the Lei Family mbers and Helan Qiuzhe, while the rest of the Helan Family has already departed.
Helan Qiuzhe’s n have surrounded the entire villa just to prevent the Lei Family mbers from leaving.
“Helan Qiuzhe, what do you an by this?”
Lei ngde has already been waiting here for several hours.
But Helan Qiuzhe just won’t let them leave.
And the bodyguards of the Lei Family have been controlled by Helan Qiuzhe’s n.
Helan Qiuzhe glanced at him indifferently without speaking.
At this mont, Lei Danna stood up arrogantly and said, “The people from the Helan Family are really too arrogant! Hurry up and let your n allow us to leave!”
However, what responded to her was Helan Qiuzhe’s cold gaze and silence.
Lei Danna: “…”
But when she caught a glimpse of the man’s terrifying gaze, she dared not speak again.
At this ti, Ye Jiuqing appeared.
All eyes fell on him.
The man was surrounded by a chill, capable of freezing people wherever he went.
Ye Jiuqing walked over to Helan Qiuzhe and said, “Brother, thank you for your hard work.”
That address, “Brother”, stunned everyone present.
Ye Jiuqing actually called Helan Qiuzhe “Brother”, why?
Lei ngde had already guessed they were in cahoots, but he thought they rely had a cooperative relationship.
But now it seems, that’s not the case.
Suddenly, he recalled the ti the old man ntioned Helan Lingshuang’s marriage; he investigated thoroughly and couldn’t find out who she married.
Could it be that person is Ye Jiuqing?
Otherwise, he couldn’t think of anyone else with such capability!
Lei ngde looked at these two n before him, his gaze full of anger.
The sense of humiliation from being played rushed over him, a flood of anger was stuck in his chest.
“Now that you’re here, I’ll leave it to you,” said Helan Qiuzhe.
With that, he stepped aside.
After all, this was Ye Jiuqing’s personal affair, and he could only help to this extent.
“Ye Jiuqing, your mother’s matter was done by the old man and my father. Even if you want to settle accounts, it has nothing to do with the Lei Family; each grievance has its perpetrator,” Lei ngde said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jiuqing’s deep blue eyes gazed at him, his thin lips slightly curved, saying, “Young Master Lei really knows how to separate himself quickly.”
“But unfortunately, isn’t your surna Lei? As long as you bear the blood of the Lei Family, there’s no such thing as ‘nothing to do with it.'”
His lips curled into a smile, but that smile gave off a chill, as if a coldness spread from beneath them.
Listening to his words, Lei ngde suddenly laughed, saying, “According to what you say, don’t you also have the blood of the Lei Family? My dear brother!”
Ye Jiuqing calmly replied, “I have nothing to do with your Lei Family, after all…”
He raised his hand and pointed to his chest, “I’ve already been shot here, consider it repaid, and moreover, I owe nothing to your Lei Family, so there’s no question of repaynt. On the contrary, your Lei Family’s debts must be settled! Just need to use the entire Lei Family to pay for your sins.”
“…”
Lei ngde sneered, “Ye Jiuqing, even if you want to move against the Lei Family, do you really think you can do it?”
He didn’t deny Ye Jiuqing’s prowess, but he also believed in the power of the Lei Family, which had stood firm in nation F for many years, its foundation was strong; it wasn’t sothing he could topple at will!
Ye Jiuqing slightly raised his brow, grinned evilly, and said, “Then let’s see if I can do it.”
At this, Lei ngde said no more.
Because Ye Jiuqing’s expression didn’t seem to be just to scare them.
Could he have other plans?
Yet he hadn’t heard any news beforehand.
Just then, Lei ngde’s phone rang.
He initially didn’t want to pick up, but Ye Jiuqing looked at him and said lightly, “Young Master Lei, why not answer the phone?”
He felt that this simple sentence contained other anings.
He had no choice but to pull out his phone and answer the call.
The next second, he frowned.
His pupils shook slightly as he stared at Ye Jiuqing.
Ye Jiuqing calmly regarded him, his eyes also carrying a faint smile.
Then, leisurely, he said, “Well, do you still think I can’t move your Lei Family?”
The other Lei Family mbers, hearing his words, showed worried expressions.
After all, if the Lei Family really fell, they would be in for disaster too.
As the saying goes, mutual prosperity or mutual ruin.
Lei Danna, seeing her brother’s unusual expression, anxiously asked, “Brother, what’s happened?”
Lei ngde didn’t answer her.
After hanging up the call, he stared angrily at Ye Jiuqing, saying, “Ye Jiuqing, what exactly do you want to do?”
“Nothing much, just want the Lei Family to disappear,” he said breezily.
In contrast to his calmness, the Lei Family mbers couldn’t sit still anymore.
At this mont, one of the Lei Family mbers scoffed, “Such big words, the Lei Family isn’t sothing you can just make disappear!”
Following that, soone echoed, “Indeed, you don’t even weigh your own ability; you’re just a bastard the Lei Family didn’t want!”
However, as soon as her words fell, a sharp and icy gaze locked onto her.
Ye Jiuqing did not bother with her. After all, such words couldn’t provoke him.
What he wanted was just the Lei Family.
Without the Lei Family, they wouldn’t be able to act arrogantly.
As the saying goes, strike a snake at its weakest point, and the Lei Family was these people’s weak spot.
“Young Master Lei, this is just the first step,” Ye Jiuqing looked at Lei ngde, smiled, and said, “Let see how capable you are in saving the Lei Family.”
Lei ngde: “…”
The Lei Family company’s stocks were currently plumting.
And Lei Family’s enclaves in nation F were being destroyed by Ye Jiuqing one after another.
The businesses in Lei Family’s enclaves were not very reputable, but they were hidden well, so they had never been caught.
But Ye Jiuqing seed to have gathered evidence from sowhere; now the police were starting to investigate.
Once certain matters were investigated by the police, it would be practically impossible for the Lei Family to rise again.
He never thought that one day, the Lei Family would fall into such a predicant because of a woman.
Lei ngde pondered deeply for a mont and asked, “Ye Jiuqing, what would it take for you to spare the Lei Family?”
“Brother!”
Lei Danna gazed incredulously at her brother; in her impression, her brother never needed to plead with anyone.
“Brother, why are you pleading with a bastard? Clearly, it was that woman’s fault, it was that woman who seduced dad, not our fault.”
“Shut up!”
Lei ngde snapped at her.
The intricate history, none of them truly understood.
They didn’t know what exactly happened back then, and Lei Danna’s words undoubtedly fanned the flas of anger in Ye Jiuqing’s heart, only deepening his hatred for the Lei Family.
Lei ngde knew that if he didn’t yield today, Ye Jiuqing would truly annihilate the Lei Family.
However, he was wrong; whether he yielded or not, Ye Jiuqing had no intention of letting the Lei Family go.
The Lei Family had more than just this one wrongdoing against him.
The death of his father back then was also inextricably linked to the Lei Family.
“Kneel! Beg , I might consider it,” Ye Jiuqing said.
As soon as he said this, the expressions of the people present changed.
Lei ngde frowned, showing clear reluctance.
Lei Danna pointed at him angrily and said, “Ye Jiuqing, don’t go too far!”
Ye Jiuqing chuckled, “If you think I’m going too far, then forget it.”
He had just been speaking casually in the first place.
Even if Lei ngde had really knelt, he wouldn’t have agreed.
Then, his gaze swept over the people present with a touch of eeriness, “That’s all for today. Going forward, I hope each of you can happily live each day. I’ll look forward to it.”
“…”
With that said, he left with Helan Qiuzhe.
Although they had left, it didn’t relieve the Lei Family at all.
At this mont, a dark cloud hung over the Lei Family, ready to crush them at any ti.
“Brother, what does he an by this?” Lei Danna asked.
Lei ngde said in a deep voice, “You all go back to the Lei Family first. I need to go to the police station.”
So things he needed to figure out, otherwise, the Lei Family was truly finished.
…
Helan Qiuzhe and Ye Jiuqing left in the sa car.
Helan Qiuzhe was the first to speak, “The Windsor Royal Family will soon receive news of this matter. How do you plan to deal with it?”
He hadn’t expected that Ye Jiuqing had such an identity, and it was quite surprising.
At the sa ti, his background was indeed quite pitiful.
Ye Jiuqing said, “We’ll see when it happens.”
“…”
Helan Qiuzhe pressed his lips together before saying, “Alright, it’s your private matter, I have no right to interfere, just make sure you clean up the ss.”
He was referring to the Lei Family as the “ss.”
If he didn’t properly handle the Lei Family and left future troubles, there would inevitably be problems later, which was sothing he didn’t want to see.
Ye Jiuqing replied, “Okay, I understand.”
…
At the hospital.
After leaving the engagent banquet, Mr. and Mrs. Helan went straight to the hospital.
Ella had just managed to get Ye Jiuqing’s mother to sleep.
She opened the door to the ward, intending to make a phone call, and saw her parents still sitting outside.
“Mom, Dad, why haven’t you gone back yet?”
She walked over and asked as she looked at them.
Ms. Ling held her hand and asked, “How is Xiao Ye’s mother?”
Ella replied, “She’s sleeping now. Her body is severely malnourished, and there are signs of organ deterioration. Her ntal state isn’t good either, possibly due to shock and being imprisoned for so long.”
Ling Xiyuan’s eyes turned slightly red upon hearing this.
She sighed and said, “I already thought Xiao Ye was pitiful enough; I didn’t expect his mother to be like this…”
She couldn’t continue speaking.
“The Lei Family, they’re so horrible; it’s simply heinous to imprison a woman. What kind of deep hatred could justify this?”
Ling Xiyuan couldn’t understand why Old Mr. Lei had done such a thing.
Ella said, “Mom, you and Dad should head back first. I’ll take care of things here, so don’t worry about them.”
Helan Xunzheng also said, “Yes, let’s go back. There’s nothing we can do by staying here. The kids have their own plans, and we shouldn’t make things more complicated for them.”
Ling Xiyuan nodded, then looked at Ella and reminded, “Take good care of Xiao Ye’s mother, and I’ll have Aunt Tao make so nourishing soup to bring here.”
Ella replied, “Alright.”
Soon after they left, Ye Jiuqing appeared.
“Is everything resolved?”
Ella didn’t expect him to co back so soon.
Ye Jiuqing replied, “Almost resolved. So things need ti, but the important matters have mostly been dealt with. How is she?”
He asked the last question cautiously.
“She’s sleeping.”
Then, Ella told him everything the doctors had discovered.
He had the right to know, so she wouldn’t hide it from him.
After hearing it all, Ye Jiuqing’s face turned somber, but he didn’t say a word.
Ella looked at him, opened her arms, and hugged him.
She rested her chin on his shoulder and whispered, “Don’t worry, everything will get better, and the doctor said that as long as she cooperates with the treatnt, there shouldn’t be major issues.”
Ye Jiuqing raised his hand and hugged her back.
Ella then said, “Once Mom’s condition improves, we’ll bring her back to the Ye Residence.”
Ye Jiuqing buried his head in her neck and nodded, “Okay.”
Helan Qiuzhe exited the elevator and saw this scene.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the two, and cleared his throat softly a few tis.
The two heard the sound and let go of each other, but not completely.
“Brother, why are you here?” Ella asked as she looked at the man in the wheelchair.
Helan Qiuzhe asked, “Where are Mom and Dad? Weren’t they here?”
Ella replied, “They just left.”
Helan Qiuzhe didn’t say anything more.
He looked at the two still holding each other and finally just said, “Then it’s fine. I’ll head back too. Let know if anything cos up.”
Ella nodded, “Okay, Brother.”
…
At the police station.
Lei ngde sat in the eting room, looking at Old Mr. Lei, and asked, “Grandfather, things have co to this point, what else are you hiding?”
He had asked why Old Mr. Lei imprisoned Ye Jiuqing’s mother in the old house, but Old Mr. Lei remained silent.
It had been over ten minutes, and he still refused to speak.
He couldn’t understand what was so secretive about it.
Moreover, if he didn’t speak, he couldn’t save the Lei Family.
“Grandfather, if you don’t say anything, the Lei Family is truly beyond saving.”
Old Mr. Lei had kept his eyes closed the entire ti, but now he opened them, and the cloudiness in them made him seem even more weathered.
Clearly, it had been less than a few hours, but Lei ngde noticed that Old Mr. Lei seed to have aged significantly overnight.
Old Mr. Lei said, “Even if I spoke, you couldn’t save it.”
He sighed, as if accepting fate, “It’s ti for the Lei Family to end.”
Lei ngde furrowed his brows tightly.
In his mory, his grandfather wasn’t soone who would give up so easily, but now he…
This only made him more curious about what had happened all those years ago.
“Ah De, you should stay out of this. Ye Jiuqing is determined to bring down the Lei Family. Even if he doesn’t move, soone else will.”
Lei ngde recalled what Helan Qiuzhe had said, “Do you an soone from the Windsor Royal Family?”
“Yes.”
“So, what happened back then?”
Lei ngde wouldn’t rest until he found out what happened today.
Old Mr. Lei saw his persistence in seeking answers and sighed heavily, “It all started with my greed, and your father’s greed.”
